Venezuela RAISES AN ARMY AND PROPOSES TG DRIVE THE ENGLISH OUT OF ITS ALLEGED TERRI- TORY.
—
President Blanco, of Venezuela, who is visiting the United States for the purpose of endeavoring to adjust the boundary ques- tion with Great Britain in reference to the encroachments of that power in Venzuela territory, said: ** The subject is one of the yreatest interest to both Venezuela and the United States. I am astonished beyond measure that the American press has failed to take note of the acts of Great Britain in her usurpation of Venezuela and the terri- tory south of the Orinoco. South America is divided into three great sections. One is watered by the Orinoco, one by the Amazon and one by the Laplatte. The great pros- perity of these divisions depends upon the free access of commerce by these rivers. The Orinoco belongs to Venezuela, who are heirs to it from the Spaniards. The Eng- lish are acquiring possession of the division of the Amzon and of the Orinoco, and have actually taken possession of the territory bounding the Orinoeo at its mouth, an act which Venezuela cannot allow. In conse- quence it has suspended its relations with England. Ithas given passports to the British ministers and representatives, and has applied to the United States to act as arbitrators in the affair. The English gov- ernment has denied the right of the United Venezuela now proposes to send a sufficient army (a few thousand soldiers having been raised), to drive the English usurpers from her ter- ritory. Itis hoped that the United States government will intervene to terminate the question and require Great Britain to sub- mit to arbitration. It is especially regretted that the United States has observed such silence in this instance of the usurpation of the Venezuela territory by a foreign power. Venezuela is in perfect peace. Her: finan- cial condition is good and she is occupied in constructing many railway lines and local enterprises.”
i Ahlers GOiling the Sea. So many successful experinients have been made with oil to prevent the waves from breaking on board vessels at sea that an American inventor has devised an “oiler” which removes the objections that masters of ships naturally had to the old- fashioned plan of stuffing bags loosely with vakum and filling them with oil. That method does not allow of much regulation of the quantity of oil distributed, and when done with for the time the bags are rather . |plnce, for’ especially if stored in a warm place, for there is then considerable risk of spontaneous combustion. The American invention consists of a spherical vessel of metal, capable of holding from one and a and fitted with valves by means of which the admission of

water and the consequent emission of oil, are automatically regulated. Two quarts / Of oil per hour is the quantity which is ‘stated to be sufficient for all ordinary pur- poses, and it should preferably be a thick or heavy oil, but at the same time one not liable to become too’ thick in cold weather. Although the virtues of oil in preventing the wind breaking the waves inta spray ‘have beéti' known for many centuries, it is trather singular that so few systematic ex- periments have been made. That may be from the known fact that it is of little use in shallow water where vessels are in the greatest danger. Witha tight ship mari- ners can do nothing at all for the deep sea, provided the vessel is not too heavily laden; but accidents oceasionally happen when it is necessary to lie tofor to seek the friendly offices of a steamer fora taw, Then the advantage of the ail is fully appreciated, for the thin viscous. film spread on the sur- face immediately around the ship seems to prevent the wind from breaking the waves, and they consequently do not come top- pling over on to the decks as they other- wise would do. rr Starting a Ralky Horse.
At Roosevelt wisest: ferry one of Have- meyer & Elder's sugar teams balked, <A crowd collected offering all sorts of advice, while the driver was belaborirg and swear- ing at this teams.
A pretty young lady stepped forward and said indignantly:
‘Stop whipping those horses, you great big brute.”
Then taking one of the big Norman horses, by the bridle, she gave a chirp or two, patting the neck of the animal. The harse turned his head and looked at her, gave a snort,and as she chirped again walk- ed off with the load.
‘*You’re a daisy,” said the driver.
‘*That’s more than I can say for you,” retorted the miss. ‘“‘If you were bronght up onafarm as I was, you would know that kindness to horses goes farther than those whippings.”
The crowd cheered and the young lady tripped away to her work blushing. —New York Sun,
Feeding and Wasting.
‘It is nqt what we feed but what we waste that makes cattle feeding so expen- sive,” says Mr. Beujamin Whitsitt, of Pre- emption, Ill. That is the key-note to suc- cessful cattle feeding. He said he came to a realizing sense of how much has been needlessly wasted by the necessity of econo- mizing to offset the losses from the drouth. He tested meal feeding, but found it ex- travagant and costly, as the animals de- voured it greedily, but passed a large per- centage without digestion. By cutting hay and mixing the feed, adding a little water to give it consistency, the cattle eat it just as well and the whole is thoroughly digest- ed. Meal feeding will not do, but ground and cut feed is a great success.

GENERAL NEWS.
Dr. Selwyn, director of the Dominion Survey, has arrived at Winnipeg. While at Port Arthur the doctor inspected the mining district, which he pronounced rich in mineral wealth.
Threshing was commenced on Tuesday at Sir Donald Simith’s farm at Silver Heights, It is said that Sir Donald will ship his wheat to England at once, so as to have it
on the Liverpool market before the ex- piration of the present month. The Ameer of Afghanistan was lately
very ill with a boil at the back of his neck, and his doctor prescribed some lotion to bring the boil to a head. The pain was temporarily increased and the Ameer was so enraged with the doctor that he had him beheaded next morning.
New Westminster receives weekly about 705,145 Ibs. of freight and pays the C. P. R. for conveying it about $5,34.51 per week, The quantity of freight distribu ed from that city to points along the C. P. R east, to say nothing of freight coming from Victoria and Sound ports, averages 570,658 Ibs. per week and the charges amount to $3,539 per week.
According to Galignani’s Messenger a severe crisis has come upon the French sardine fisheries, affecting more than a hun- dred and fifty thousand persons. Not only have the fish deserted the shores of France, but the fishermen have bsen obliged to do likewise, going to Spain and Portugal and carrying with them the secret of the best way of curing the fish.
The statement of receipts through the departinent of inland revenue for the last fiseal year will be published in the Gazette. The grand total is $6,978,000, of which about half a million is received from public
‘ ; : F works. The remainder is from excise, including spirits, $3,737,300, and tobacco,
$1,668,000. The unrevised statement for July last, shows total receipts of $438,000, ot which $368,500 is excise.
A well-known citizen has received an interesting letter from Lord Dufferin,
governor-general of India. writes from the Viceregal lodge, Simla, under date of the 13th of July. After referring to various matters, he states that his eldest son is now an officer in the 17th Lancers, quartered at Lucknow. His secund son js pryparing to enter the diplomatic service. His eldest daughter, he adds, is now in London, but will return to India this winter.
One of the most remarkable features in human nature, says the Savannah Nevrs, is observed in the Young family, of the Salem neighborhood in Oglethorpe. Mr. Wm. Young, who lives near Salem, a car- penter by trade, was born with the middle and ring finger of his right hand

together. The joints are perfect, and he finds no inconvenience from the other
hand. The remarkable part is that his little baby was born with the same two fingers grown together. Mr. Young has nine brothers, who have natural fingers. His fathers, nor his father’s brothers had no such freak of nature, yet their own sister has the indentical fingers on the same hand grown together. His grandfather had three fingers on each hand, and three toes on each foot grown together, and as far back as he can trace the same freak is apparent, but it never developed on but one in each family.
Sale by candle is a method of
auction
that was at one time common throughout England and Scotland, and that atill sur-
vivs north of the Tweed. In a form slightly differing from that which used to be almost universal in this country, it might until quite recently be witnessed in Bremen,
where the municipal authorities only re-
cently abolishedit. Every Friday afternoon, in a room in the Old Fxchange, a judge and his secretary used to take their seats, attended by a crier and a servant dressed in a flame colored coat and supplied with a box of tiny candles, each of which was de- signed to burn for one minute. Ata given signal a candal was lighted, and the bidding for whatever happened to be on sale began. At each offer from a would-be-purchaser
the burning candle was extinguished, and a new one was lighted, and the property
was only disposed of when a candle burnt out ere a fresh bid was announced by the crier. The custom dated from madizeval times, and it is said in Bremen that for five hundred years sales were held and candles were burnt every Friday without interrup- tion,
The St. Paul Pioneer Press takes a sensi- ble view of the fishery dispute and admini- sters a timely rebuke to. those journals which, with a view to political embarrass- ment, have called upon President Cleve- land to proclaim the retaliatory measure passed at the lest session of Congress. Our St. Paul contemporary points out that to place an embargo upon commercial inter- course between Canada and the United States would be very much like cutting oif one’s nose to spite the face, and that in the Northwestern states the enforcement of a retaliatory policy would do infinitely more harm to business interests than could find compensation in any possible partisan gain. As to the incidents arising out of the oper- ation of the treaty of 1818, the Pioneer Press remarks that the complaints urged by Canada against the United States ‘‘are even move frequent and more violent than those heard from our side of the line,” and con- tinues: ‘‘Nor has there been any denial, as far as we have seen, of the Canadian posi- tion that the vessels apprehended were actually engaged in fishing within the treaty line. Inasmuch as this Government has meanwhile seized two sealers in the Behring sea, acting on a theory which it re- pudiates with reference to the North At- lantic, it would seem to be a good thing to straighten out both our policy and our facts before we proceed to violent mea- sures.” The St. Paul journal has got hold of the common sense end of the controversy, and its views, we believe, are very gen- erally entertained by the people of the United States who do not live in Glouvces-
ter.
