| Greece and the Congress. | A Berlin dispatch predicts that the proposition to admit Greece to the Con- gress will be rejected. It is known that | Russia will oppose it. Germany will sup- port Russia, and Ausiria, France and Italy ‘are jealous of the Greek mercantile marine. | Roumelia, Servia and Montenegro have even less chance of admission. The utmost small states cam hope for is to be heard. They will not be permitted to take part in the debates or votes. It is understood Bismarck wishes to exclude any questions not properly included in the task of Con- gress, the session of which assembly will last several weeks.

Earl Dufferin—Differing Reporis.

The London, Eng., Echo says :-—‘‘ It is proposed to extend the period of the ap- pointment of Lord Dufferin as Governor- General of Canada twelve months, on ac- count of his popularity and ability.” This confirms a telegram to the same effect pub- lished in a Chicago paper nearly a week ago, and inserted in the Muil of the 11th inst.

The London correspondent of the Man- chester Guardian, however, says the Colo- nial Office wished Lord Dutferin in Canada, as Governor General of the Dominion for a other term, but Dufferin declined, and will retwrn to England in September.

Battleford, the lately appointed seat of Government of the Northwest Territory, is situated at the junction of Battle River with the north branch of the Saskatchewan. it is there that the Hon.’ David Laird and his Council are to reside. The Government buildings are now in process of erection, and some private dwellings and stores are also bemg constructed. The temporary seat of Government is Fort Pelley, about 200 miles east of Battleford, where the Mon- treal Police have also their headquarters, The country of which Battleford is the des- tined capital has been accorded high praise by many different authorities. The atmos- phere is desci-bed as pyre and bracing, the climate ger al and the soil exceedingly fer- tile.

French Statistics.

According to recently. published office’: tables seventeen of the eighty-six depart- ments of France show an excess of deaths over births. There has been a remarkable falling away in marriages. In 1872 they were in the ratio of 98 in every 10,000 in- habitants; in 1873 they were 89; in 1874, 83; in 1875, 82, and in 1876 the ratio had reached the figure of 79. The average for the last half century was 82, so that the ratio of 1876 is abnormally low. Statis- ticians and w. ters on social science have been puzzling themselves in seeking the cause of this marked reduction. Among other reasons the wandering habits of the artisan popvlation, forced military service and the excessive formalities placed ‘n the way of people about to m: have been suggested. In 1876 the births were 966,- 682, the total population being 36,905,788, the largest return since 1876.

Starvation in Labrador.

The news from Labrador coast is disheart- ening. Last fall there was a failure of the fisheries, and traders who used to supply the fishermen with provisiens in exchange for fish and oil have abandoned the terri- tory, leaving whole fam‘lies to live through the winter on fish offal—for crops are im- possible on that sterile shore. There have been many deaths from starvation. Of five families, containing forty sou's, in one settlement, only five persons survived the winter. Scurvey is epidemic, and the women haunt the shore like spectres, pick- ing up dead seals, while men and boys gather sea moss or she" fish. The people have been cut off from the outside world since last September. When they found death staring them in the face it was too late to make their wants known, for navi- gation had closed, and they were 200 leagues distant from Quebec, without jany means of overland corm nunication in win- ter.

The Pope and the Sultan.

A correspondent writing from Rome says :—‘‘ Yesterday, the 15th, the Pope re- ceived, with the solemn honors becoming such an event. Bedros Effendi Kujumgian, Envoy Extraordinary of the Sultan of Turkey, sent to Rome on the special mission of congratulating Pope Leo XIII. on his elevation to the Pontiticate and of assuring lim of the disposition of the Sultan to do ali in his power to insure perfect liberty to the Catholic subjects in the Ottoman Em- pire. His Excellency is an Armenian Catholic, member of the Imperial Council at Constantinople and distinguished with the Order of Megidie. He is accompanied by his son, Ohannes Bey, who acts as his secretary. At the audience Bedros Kifendi pronounced a discourse in French expressive of the object of his mission and of the per- sonal esteem of the Sultan for His Holiness. The Pope replied, also #1 French, that he was highly pleased with the sentiments ex- pressed, that he cherished the most cordial wishes for the welfare and prosperity of the Sultan, and was sincerely grateful for the protection and liberty accorded to Catholics in His Majesty’s dominions. He also com- plimented the Envoy personally, his son

and suite. After the axdience with His Holiness the Turkish Envoy paid a visit to the Secretary of State, Cardinal Franchi.

‘That the Holy Father was highly pleased with the Sultan’s Envoy is made still more evident by the fact that he-was pleased to confer upon him the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, and upon his son a commandership in the same order.
