Pending instructions which are.daily ex- | pected from the hoine Government the Minister is carefully abstaining from visit- | ing the Sultan cr taking any steps which | may beconstrued intoan official act. Con- | cerning existing critical relations between | Great Britain and the Porte the menacing | attitude assumed by England is attributed | in this capital to the suspicion entertained | by her that the recent trip of Count Loban- | off from this city to Lividia and thence to Constantinople and holding an audience with the Sultan and Empress at either end of the route meant an understanding if not a positive alliance between the two Powers.

Musurus Pasha, Turkish Ambassador at London, has telegraphed to the Porte that Salisbury is satistied with the explanations presented by the ambassador. He believes he has convinced Salisbury that the reports that an understanding exists between Turkey and Russia are without founda- tion.

Lonpon, Nov. 16.

Lord Dufferin is reported by a Paris Correspondent as having said that England could carry out her programme in Turkey independently and that the maintenance of peace rested with Gortschakoff.

A despatch from Constantinople says the Turkish Ministry is divided in opinion. One portion, headed by Osman Pasha, favors an alliance with Russia. Disorders increasing throughout the country. Even within sixty miles of Constantinople the Circassians are robbing and murdering the inhabitants. Itis believed that Cara- theodori Pasha is about to be proposed to ha in Roumelia.

An Ottawa special says that the action of Secretary Evarts in regard to the fishery question provokes much comment editori- ally and otherwise. The Free Press says : ‘Canadians desire to act with perfect equity and if the United States will act fairly and honesjly they will have no cause to complain.”

CUBA. Nrw Yorx, Nov. 16.

A Havana letter of the 8th inst., says,:— A strong party of Insurgents drove off about 300 head of cattle from Holguin on the 4th, and the Spanish troops were sent after them unsuccessfully. In explanation of the above Spanish account, the Patriot statement is that General Valena attacked the Patriots at Barrancas, but was defeated, with a loss of 250 killed and wounded, and retreated to Holguin, where he was shut up. by the Patriot forees. The Spanish General Blanco with 4,800 men, went to the relief of Valena, when the Patriots raised the in- vestment of the place, sacked several stores in the outskirts and captured large quan- tities of booty.

A portion of Cubans—about 3,000, under Benitez—crossed in the eastern province, captured Incaro, which they pillaged, es- tablished a muster camp near Las Guasi- mas, where recruits can enroll, and then headed for Pererto Principe where cattle and recruits are being obtained. A vigor- ons campaign is planned to extend to San Miguel, Bajaand Neuvitas, where the sugar estates and telegraph lines will be des- troyed. The Patriots have sent emissaries to enlist the whites into the revolutionary army and to entice slave gangs from Remedios, Trinidad. and Cienfuegos to stricke work and repair to the mountains to enlist with the the Patriets.

In the Trinidad Valley it is stated that a thousand yeomen are in the mountains awaiting the arrival of tle Cuban force to join it.

Reinforcements, including volunteer re- giments, are being pushed forward from

favana to the Spanish troops, and arrivals from Spain are anxiously awaited. oD En mmment

The Hudson Bay Company is at last finding something to say in favor of the fertile belt. It has had printed an instrue- tive pamphlet giving an account of Mani- toba and of the seven million acres owned by it in tho North West, five hundred thousand acres of which it offers for sale.

They denonnce him asa deserter from his tribe. |jThe Key West Key says that the Indians must be taught that their tribal laws will not be tolerated in Florida, and that they can ostracize Little Billy if they choose, but if they kill him the tribe ‘‘ will be destroyed as the prairie grass before the summer fires,” for their conduct would be resisted by every

citizen in the southern part of the State. ,

Kossuth has been engaged on a history of his life for several years past, and it was to have been -published simultaneously at Vienna, Berlin and other Luropean capitals some time last year, but from some reason or other—principally on account of the gifted author’s unreadiness—the publica- tion has hung fire up till now. Kossuth, however, has at length completed his me- moirs, and last week arranged with a pub- lishing firm at Pesth for their production The volume will embrace all his writings of importance and fugitive essays in periodical literature since 1859. During the past twenty years few have seen more ups and downs than Kossuth.

Sranparp Reqvuisires ror Pouttrry.— There are certain things absolutely neces- sary for the thrift, comfort and conven- ience of fowl stock which must be supplied by every one who attempts to raise them. These requisites, in general termr, are a sufficient quantity of lime among their food, to assist in egg-shell making ; plenty of gravel, which helps to digest their hard, dry grain food; adue ale lowance of animal substance, such as in- sects, meat scraps, etc., a moderate supply

of shells, pounded bones, etc., and a fuil modicum of green feed constantly all tho

year round. All these are necessities. And in some shape or other these must be fur- nished the fowls or they will not grow well, feed well, breed weli, lay well or do wei), If the flocks are permitted to run at large, the birds will gather a good share of these supplies abroad, especially in the summer season. If they are confined within fennd

runs, all these provisions must be accorded them artificially, or they suffer.—American Agriculturist.
