It has been estimated that the amount of doweries carried off by American wives to Europe has reached $275,000,000. The drain of meeting the interest on this amount will grow with each addition, and will create what the mercantile school calla fvoraable balance of trade.

A treaty was signed on June 15 by the representatives of the five central American states or republics of Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador. This treaty will go into effect on Sept. 15, if ratified by that time. The union is named the Republic of Central America, and the countries forming it will now take the name of states.

At Bessemer, Alabama, the citizens showed their dislike of smallpox by goiug in a mob to the hospital where the patient was being treated, and firing a hundred or so shots into the building, forcing patient, nurse and guard to flee for their lives, Is the south of the United States either a civilized or a Christian country ?

A keg of beer and a luncheon are very ancient institations at a funeral. Indeed, they have scarcely been discontinued in some parts of the country. But a dance is somewhat new. On Tuesday night last a number of women assembled in Vaseel’s Hall, Hoboken, to dance in honor of the death of Mrs. Livermore. It appears that Mrs. Livermore gave testaraentary instruc- tions in her will regarding this matter. It is reported that the ladies, and they were twenty-five in number, did not particularly enjoy themselves, but wept when the de- ceased lady’s name was mentioned.

A returned member of the Canadian contingent at the Jubilee remarked to a Hamilton newspaper reporter: “Wha amazed them most was the ignorance of the ordinary English psople whom thev, met about Canada and Canadians. It was not uncommon to hear such remarks as “Why they are not Indians,” and “They speak pretty good English,” from among the crowds of people they met. Nearly forty years ayo, when the 100th Regiment arrived in England, precisely similar remarks greeted the Canadian soldiers on their landing at Liverpool.

The report of the cession of Kassala to Great Britain is quite likely to be correct. Italy took up the task of African co'oniza tion at the suggestion aud request of Great Britain, and ever since the disaster at Adowa, she has been anxious tolay down a burden which has proved too much for her strength. The factis Italy has enough to do at home, and since the Abyssinians * gavethem such atborough beating they have no heart for the work. The imperial spirit which inspired the Romans has passed to other nations. England mourns her slangh- tered aud avenges them, Italy mourns and submits.

tion, if their claims were afterwards disputed, they could not be npheld by the courts, Mr. Sherman, the United States Secretary ot State is, it seems, very ill- informed in regard to the mining laws of his country.

The renewed trouble at Chitral will not caure any great surprise. The tribesmen were known to be belligerent and unruly, and the garrison left in the country by the British Government was criticised from the first, by some who knew the district,as insvfficient. A small force was kept at the head of the Malakand Pass to control a very large district. It is this force which has beea attacked, with some loss. But reinforcements are kept within call, and before long the tribesmen will be again chastised and taught that though the British Government makes no great dis- play of force, it has along arm and can reach from far.

It is predictel by the manufacturer of herseless carriages that within ten years these vehicles will supersede the ordinary vehicle drawn by horses, There are many things in favor of the new invention— cleanliness, noiselessness of movement, and economy in maintenance. Carriage making a® at present carried on will not, however, become a lost art uttil the price of the horseless affair is greatly reduced, nor will the ranching businese become obsolete, no matter how cheaply they may be produced. The sewing machine did not drive the needle out of the world, nor did the telegraph banish the mail service.

Santa Rosa, Ca., August 2.—Prof Otta Fiiei Debendeleben declares that there isa mountain of gold in Alaska, situated at 65 degrees, 25 minutes and 11 seconds north latitude, and 172 west long- itude. The mountain ie called Mount Debendeleben, in honor of the professor, and was pamed by Prof. Gen. Davison. It was in 1866 while he was a member: of the famous Western Union Telegraph Russian extension expedition that Prof. Debendeleben first saw the mountain. It is the higheet peak in all that region, he says, and istull of gold.

Many scientists have been of the opin- ion that all gold that crops out on this coast came some time from a great deposit in the north, and the professor thinks that

mighty floods that moved everything before F

them carried the golden particles from the mother lode to fields fnrther sooth.

It wa Prof. Debeneleven who prepared the report on the resources of Alaska that went to Secretary of State Seward which Mr Seward declared.to be one of the most comprehensive documents of its character over compiled. It was on this report that the secretary principally relied when urg- ing the purchase of Alaska from Russia

pdy the United States.
