NOTES.
-The foot and mouth disease is increasing
In some parts of Switzerland.
-The Georgia Constitutional Convention
has voted to have no chaplains In the Legia
lature.
-The Swiss hay harvest is so plentiful this
year that it is feared the barns will not con
tain It all.
--The factory girls of Union Depot, Tonni.,
have a zealous defAnder in Charles Davis, who
shot a man for making slanderous remarks
about them.
-The court of common council of the city
of London has resolved upon the erection,
below London bridge, of a low-level bridge,
with openings for the passage of ships.
--Imports of all manufactures of wool and
jute from England continue to fall off. Im
ports of cotton, linen and silk goods, and
chinaware, salt and raw wool increase.
-Packard arrived in Auburn, Me., Satur
day, on a visit tq his mother. He is a native
of that town, studied law there, and entered
a Maine regiment, which was sent to Louisi
ana, where he married and settled.
-Finland has more blind than any other
country, in consequence of the huts having
no chimneys. Norway suffers from the same
cause, but In a less degree. A comparison
showed that while in that country the blind
were 13.6 In 70,000, in Finland they were 21.4.
- The last loan of thq Turks, as stated " on
"the most reliable authority," was of two
millions of money from some large house in
Paris deeply Interested in Turkish securities.
This loan was on the security of diamonds
and other jewels, the property of the late
Sultan.
- Indian famines are usually in conse
quence of the failure of the water supply.
Artificial irrigation was in former times ex
tensively used under the native princes, but
most of the old'keservolrs and canals are now
in ruins-a fatal neglect which sooner or later
must be repaired.
- It is stated in the commercial review of
Mr. Rahden, at the City of Mexico, that rail
road projects are reviving In ,Mexico, and
American projects stand a better chance of
success than ever before. Several new rail
ways are contemplated, and, If asked for by
practicable and responsible men, contracts
will be granted.
-The war in the East is causing photo
graphy to look up. Not only the Russians
and Turks each have their corps of micro
photographers, but every newspaper corre
spondent is compelled to wear a numbered
medal, on the reverse of which is a photo
graph of the wearer, in order to put the ques
tion of identity beyond dispute.
--Another bridge accident, resembling that
at Bath in all but its terribly fatal conse
quences, has occurred at Saltash, in Devon
shire, England. The bridge connected the
landing stage with the shore, and when It
broke down hundreds of people are said to
have been thrown into the water. All, how
ever, are believed to have been rescued,
though many were greatly exhausted.
-The Germanizing of the French army ad
vances apace. Hitherto It has been one of the
traditions of the service that spectacles were
unsoldierly. But the late war demonstra
ted, among other things, that men can fight
as well with spectacles as without them-in
many cases a good deal better. Dr. Perrin
has submitted a report on the subject, and
the French authorities have legalized the use
of lunettes in all branches of the service.
--The weather in England this month has
been unseasonably cold, nights, and occa
sional heavy rains have fallen. The crops
are maturing very slowly, and reports are
unfavorable, both as to harvesting within a
reasonable period and as to realizing an aver
ago yield. This, of course, adds to the favor
able prospects of American grain, because it
promotes the scarcity abroad and keeps up
prices.
-The new German four per cent loan is to be
issued through a syndicate of German bank
ers, who take it at 91, and place it on the mar
ket at 94 6-10. The total amount to be raised
is $19,450,000. Subscriptions are to be re
eeib on the 25th and 26th of the present
month, but on the 1st of July offers to take
$37,500,000 had already been received. At the
saune time that this loan is selling at a dis
count of 3 4-10 per cent, United States four
.per cent bonds command a small premium.
-Some farmers in the south of France are
(ligging away hard at an anicient Roman en
campment which is known to contain cisterns
whichm have been closed from time immnemo
rial. According to some old family papers,
one of these cisterns contains all sorts of val
uables, and five persons have formed an asso
ciatIon to make exc~vations. These have
been already rewarded by a marble statue of
Jupiter, and an iroll lamp of classical design.
They are still some way from the bottom of
the cistern, and indulge in great expectations.
-Upon the fnnouncement of the arrival of
Prince Hassan, son of the Khedive, with the
Egyptian contingent of 8500 Infantry and 1000
artillery, the Sultan ordered the sacrifice of
100 sheep at the gates of his palace, in token
of his thanks to God. The Prince conformed
to old-fashioned etiquette in presence of the
Sultan. He touched both hands to his boots
and carried them to his head,'and crossed his
arms upon his stomach while reclining his
body; but to the high officers of the palace and
other dignitaries he simply gave a military
salute in the European style.

A COMPROMISE.
The Plan of Adjustment Submitted by
Cincinnati Strikers.
[Cincinnati Commercial.
The following is the proposition sub
mitted to the Cincinnati railroads by
the strikers on those roads:
A proposition to settle the present railroad difti
culties without loss to any of the parties ih
conflict and to the satisfaction of the people.
*Jhe President to issue a proclamation
convening Congress at once in extraor
dinary session.
The enactment of a law providing for
the appointment of a special appraising
commission, to report a just valuation
of the property of all railroad compa
nies whose employes are or have been
on strikes during the period beginning
with the first day of January, 1870.
A further enactment empowering the
government to issue as many green
backs as legal tendres, as may be re
quired to purchase said railroad prop
erty.
Congres shall declare all charters
under which said railroad companies
have operated null and void; the said
railroads to be operated by the govern
ment at such rates for freight and pas
senger traffic as will cover the expenses
and wear and tear involved ip such ope
ration, eight hours to constitute a legal
day's work for all government employee.
The workingmen of the country can
safely be depended upon to uphold the
government in carrying out the pro
posed action.
The proposed appraising commission
to consist of five members, to be ap
pointed as follows:
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers to propose the names of five
members of their order, out of which
number two shall be selected by the
government for this commission. The
government shall propose as a third
member, one United States civil en
gineer and, as a fourth member, one
United States land commissioner. The
fifth member shall be appointed by the
government by one of two names pro
posed by the railway companies inter
ested.
NOTICE TO TAxPAYERS.-Parties having any tax
matters to settle would do well to call on W. H.
Barnett, broker, No. 38 St. Charles street, oppo
site the St. Charles Hotel, who makes a specialty
in this line, and can furnish all necessary in
tormation and make large savings to them. Mr.
B. has bought from first hands, over counter, a
large amount of all the necessary scrip and war
rants to settle all kinds of taxes of various years,
very cheap, and consequently is enabled to make
large discounts in settling the same, or will sell
necessary scrip to settle the same very cheap.
t BEECDER ON THE STRIKE.
He Prescribes a Diet of Bread and Water
for the Workingmen.
[Chicago Times.]
NEW YoRx, July 23.-The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher's discourse yesterday
evening was upon the riot growing out
I of the railroad strike. He wanted to
know what right the workmen, the
3 members of the great organizations,
had to say to any one: "You shall not
work for wages which we refuse." They
had a right to say to the employers:
"We will not work for you," but they
had no right to tyrannize over their fel
low men. These men have put them
selves in an attitude of tyrannical oppo
sition to all law and order, and they
could not be defended. The necessities
of the great railWay companies de
manded that there should be a re
duction of wages. There must be a con
tinued shrinkage until things come back
to the gold standard. It was true that
one dollar a da was not enough to sup
port a man a five children. If a man
would persis qn drinking beer and
smoking, is not one dollar a day enough
to buy bread ? Mr. Beecher continued:
"Water costs nothing. Man cannot live
by bread it is true, but the man who
cannot live on bread and water is not
fit to live. When a man is educated
away from the power of self-denial he
is falsely educated. A family may live
on good bread and water in the morfn
ing, and bread at midday, and good
bread and water at night. [Laughter.]
Such may be called the bread of afflic
tion but it is fit that man should eat
the bread of affliction."
FRIGHTENED SOLDIERS.
A Pittsburg Mierchant's Description of the
Black Hussars.
[New York bun.]
Mr. E. B. Godfrey, of Godfrey &
Clark, merchants at 270 Liberty street,
Pittsburg, quit that city on Saturday
evening. Attached to the train on which
he came was a darkened car, in which,
he says, were huddled about thirty
members of the Black Hussar Regiment,
who had escaped from the round-house
at Twenty-eighth street. Many were
wounded. he train in passing through
the city slo ed at every switch, and sol
diers who were in hiding jumped on.
These men wore their pantaloons inside
out, and had thrown away everything
else except their shirts. They were in
great terror, Mr. Godfrey says, expect
ing the train would be stopped by
rioters. One coward sat down by a
woman aud asked her to protect him.
She threw a shawl over hip head, and
he crouched down in a corner. At
Twenty-eighth street the train was
stopped by the strikers. "Have you
any of those Philadelphia men aboard?"
was asked. The conductor repliedgin
the negative. A gang of strikers passed
through the cars, but did not discover
the concealed soldiers. Reaching the
last car, which was dark and seemed
deserted, they were told that there were
a few wounded men therein. They did
not attempt to enter. The train was
started again, but the soldiers were in a
state of wild terror. They expected to
be stopped by telegraph at Derry. Mr.
Godfrey thinks this was intended, for a
large number of strikers were gathered
there; but the train dashed through
without stopping. The same fear was
shown by the soldiers on the approach
to Johnstown 1 but the train was not
stopped. The soldiers were thoroughly
panic-stricken, Mr. Godfrey says, and it
was not till Altoona was passed that
they became reassured.
3 The Wages of Their Employe Coming
f Back to the Ratiroads.
[Olneinnati Enquirer.]
NEWARB, July 24.-"The' brakemen
*got about a dollar and a quarter a day,"
said one of the strikers. "This might
* perhaps be enough for them to lire on
barely live, if they were always at home
and didn't have to buy their meals. As
it is, you see they have to pay out
so much of their wages for food at high
I figures, that they can't possibly live
or support their families. Then, too,
one of the worst features of the case is
that on the Baltimore and Ohio Road,
where this thing began, all of this
1 money that the men pay out for grub
I goes right back into the coffers of the
company. The company, you see, owns
and runs the restaurants where the men
are obliged, to get their meals. Why,
sir, the brakemen only have thirty-five
cents a day left after they pay their
board, and then they often have to lie
over a day or two in a week, perhaps
more, before, they get another train to
run back on."

The money market has been dull during the
past week, but commercial paper has remained
unchanged. Under the course of the Ndw York
market gold and sterling exchange have ruled at
higher rates, closing to-day ;so above last Fri
day's quotations for thejormer, and %c for the
latter. In consequence of liberal offerinks (some
$500,000) of U. S. government drafts within a
day or two, commercial sight on New York has
declined 1-16 4 cent from its highest point on
Monday but still shows a net advance of 1-16 q
cent on Friday's rates. Stocks are quiet but con
tinue well maintained. Contrary to the general
expectation based on the present and probable
future political quiet of our State and city, State
Console and Premium Bonds have declined, the
former closing 1%o lower than last Friday, and
the latter %c. The decline in State Console at
New York for the week has been only YA tit cent.
City scrip and half paid City coupons have fallen
off slightly. State Console show a further im

The market opened with very little inquiry and
continued nearly stagnant throughout the day,
restricting operations to 105 bales, taken by two
buyers. The movement is now checked, not
only by a limited demand, but by the reduced
stock,'the scarcity of the kinds wanted, and the
stringent pretensions of the principal bidder's.
Others, however, are willing to meet the de
mand more freely, and, in order to close, occa
sionally make concessions. Under these circum
stances buyers who hold orders of some magni
tude for specific kinds find it diflicult to fill them,
even at our outside figures, while small lots can
be bought from factors who desire to realize or
close out at our inside figures, or in neglected
descriptions at a fraction less.
The dispa ches reported Liverpool quiet at yes
