NOTES.
-Orioles, blue-birds, cat-birds, wrens and
swallows, hitherto not known in the neigh
borhood of Virginia, Nov., have made their
appearance there this summper.
-Mr. Blanc's successor at Monaco till his
children can settle upon some plan for oper
ating the great gaming establishment is M.
ilenrt Wagatha, race and origin unknown.
-The Milwaukee Wisconsin estimates from
reliable data that the wheat crop of Wiscon
an, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas for 1877 will
be 56,000,000 bushels larger than it was in 1876.
The quality is also super-excellent.
-The London Tines' Berlin correspondent
reports that the Colorado beetle, despite ener
getic attempts to stamp it out, has spread
over twenty-five acres at Langenreichenback,
near Torgan. The principal destroying agent
applied at present is benzaline.
-A mass convention of members of tax
payers' associations in New Jersey is to be
held in Trenton on Saturday, September 1, to
make distinctive nominations, irrespective of
party, for the State offices to be voted for in
November, should such a course be decided
to be advisable.
-The kings of Holland, Belgium, Sweden,
Spain and Portugal have each engaged resi
den"a in Paris for the period of the Exposl
tion in 1878. The Comte d'Eu, who married
the daughter of the Emperor of Brazil, and
many others connected with royal families
have done the same.
-A comely matron of the village of Pud
reth, in Hungary, recently had a very violent
attack of unrequited love, and, as a remedy
for this disease, she anointed herself with al
cohol and started herself off with a match.
Her flames were extinguished by some neigh
bors, but not in time to save her from fatal
burns.
-The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer must be
put among the opponents of the proposed
new constitution of that State. In its issue
of the 15th inst. it says: "We have carefully
read the proceedings of the convention, and
we feel satisfied that they will offer a consti
tution that few who have the interest of the
State at heart can vote to adopt.
-Simon Cameron thinks the Pennsylvania
Republicans will follow the example of the
party in Maine, and say nothing about the
President. As for the result of the election,
he thinks it will depend altogether on Ohio.
If Ohio goes Democratic in October, he thinks
Pennsylvania will follow suit in November.
And the venerable man doesn't talk as if he
would be a bit sorry to see both States carried
by the enemy.
-Senator Morton's paralysis so affects his
muscular system that it is necessary to move
him in bedl. The President has sent a dispatch
of sympathy to hin, and is reported to have
said to a friend who spoke to him of Morton's
illness: "I look upon Morton as the balance
wheel of the Senate. His place cannot easily
be filled." The Republican majority with a
full vote is not more than four, and Morton's
absence would make the Republican control
uncertain.
-The theatrical and operatic season of
1877-78 at Paris is expected to be one of the
most brilliant ever known. The first new
work to be given at the Italiens is already
looked forward.to with the keenest interest by
all amateurs of opera, for its composer is the
treat Rubinstein, and its author the no less
appreciated Jules Barbier. Its title is
"Neron," and it is to be given with a splendor
quite exceptional at the Itallens. The Grand
Opera and Opera Lyrique have both a most
attractive programme of novelties.
-There are a good many Arabs and other
dark and copper-colored Africans in the Turk
ish ranks. All the same they fight like Turks.
(Physical geography is in its infancy.) An
other point: All hands turn toward Mecca
during a battle in so far as the exigencies of
action permit. Their general intermingling
affords a rare picture of conglomerated bliss;
tales of the Arabian Knights, melodies of the
Pharaohs, songs on the willow-boughs of the
Euphrates--all around a Holy Land wood fire
of these autumnal evenings. Out of this shak
ing up of mummies and dry bones good must
proceed, one way or another, or both ways.
THE CHINEME IN AU:.TRALIA.
The ChObinese question is greatly dis
tressing the English colonies in Austra
lia. The Vice President of the Execu
tive Council of Queensland has recently
written to the Agent General in Lon
don, expressing strong fears that both
the rights and the civilization of the
people may be compromised, and that
their social and political system may be
imperilled if, on any plea whatever,
Chinese immigration is forced upon
them against their wishes and their
interests. The people of that portion
of Australia will 'be the first to feel the
ahange and its consequences,.

afforded it to do much good. A terrible

actually sold her daughter to a life of
shame to keep from starving.-Denison
Cresset, 10th.
Some of the farmers have not been
satisfied with their experiments in pois
,ning the cotton worms, but it must be
because they were not careful in mixing
and applying it. Mr. John T. Miller
says he has been using it on his cotton
the past few days, and that it does the
work, and that he can notice the differ
ence in the cotton sprinkled first and
that sprinkled last. The farmers should
all give the poison a fair and a creful
trial. They might experiment or a few
stalks until they get the fluid sufficient
ly strong to do the work. Every farmer
is certainly interested in finding a sure
exterminator of the dreaded cotton
worm.--[Austin Statesman.
THE RISSIIAN TREATMENT OF TURK
IMH PRIPMONERM.
[N. Y. Times.]
According to the local papers, which
publish nothing unless authorized so to
do by the Russian Press Bpreau, the
majority of the prisoners are marchel
by road as far as the frontier the
wounded only and the officers being
Bent on by rail. They are in gangs of
forty, fifty and sixty men, manacled to
gether in couples, and attached to a
chain passing from the first to the rear
most files, and in this condition are
obliged to make the entire journey
sometimes over 500 miles. Their escort
consists of those gentle savages, the
Cossacks, who are enjoined to behave
with every consideration to the hapless
captives. How this injunction is obeyed
I leave my readers to judge, recom
mending to their perusal the recital
of the amenities which they
have displayed already at Niko
polis and other places in Bulga
ria, according to the testimony
of even those well-known Russophites,
the correspondents of the London Times,
the Daily News and the Manchester
Guardian. There would have been a
howl of virtuous indignation if the hea
then Turks had presumed on such a
violation of the law of nations, and I
don't think that a similar instance of
the treatment of soldiers like galley
slaves has been seen in Europe for a
couple of centuries; but here it is passed
almost unnoticed, or, if spoken of at
all, as being quite natural, as so nu
merous a detachment of prisoners, if
not in chains would require too large
an escort to be spared by the Russians
under present circumstances. At least
such is the view taken of the case by
the distinguished gentleman who now
directs the semi-official newspaper in
whose columns are to be found the
ideas of the government, revised and
corrected in accordance with the instruc
tions issued from the Bureau of the Rus
elan Police.
