A newspaper in Paris has been sued for damages for printing a rtmit of acount~ en which did not look ikc her. It is said that during the past seven months 197,000 Burinans have missed in- to British Burmah in order to avoid ser- vice in the army. A new and formidable fighting ship has been built in England for the government of Brazil. She is named the Iliachuelo, and is a steel-annorcd turret ship, 305 feet long, having a displacement of 5,700 tons. She has 53 watertight compart- ments and a belt of steel armor 11 inches in thickness. Civil marriage in South Africa is not a lengthy rite. The Colo/ilk! mentions that a happy pair entered the queen’s town house; the bridegroom paid a £5 note, signed a document, took hisspouse by the arm and walked her out of the building, saying : “ How do ‘ou do, Mrs. â€"- i” The ceremony last just two minutes. Martin and Kleeberg two men arrested for the murder of Dr. Friedenwanger, his wife, and child, and the maid, in Her- manstadt, have confessed their guilt. T hey found the doctor playing chess with his wife, and asked him for money. As he was opening the safe they attacked him, and ended with cutting the throats of all four persons and taking what money there was in the safe. An unpublished letter from Blucher, written immediately after Waterloo, comes to light in Berlin. The marshal writes: “My child, the finest battle has been fought, the most glorious victory gained. Details will follow. I think the )naparte affair is now again about llll- ished. La Belle Alliance at. the .l‘Jth early, I an write no more, for I tremble in all limbs. The exertion was too great." A Burgess Hill (Sussex, England) let- ter to the London Daily News says : There is at present in this parish an old Waterloo veteran between 80 and 90 years of ago. He was not only prescntat the great battle, but lost a father and two brothers on the same day. He is now ill with many infirmities, and his aged i fc is often obliged to beg bread from door to door. To add to his troubles Iiohas to maintain the child of a deceased daughter. One of the chief attractions of the coin- fog British health exhibition will be the inodoloii aliirgo scale of one of the streets in London in tho days when wayfarcrs wuro guided homo across Hampstcad heath by a lantern slung at the top of St. Paul's. It is proposed to take Clieapsidc, as probably the busiest and one of the most historic thoroughfares. But it will hardly be possible, however, to repro- ducu the clear utinmphcrc of those days. ’ A special (lcspatch from Christiania to tho I‘all .lIuIl (Imelfc says: The king, queen, and crown prince, who are now staying in tho Norwegian capital, visited Mr. Selmcr recently after the verdict had been delivered. The organ of the late minister says that tho judgment is rate lutionary, and asks whether the king can bo cxpcctcd to cxccutc it. The country is perfectly quiet. The trial of the rc- maining ministers will only be formal. Nothing is known with regard to the king's policy or the formation of a new ministry. The London Telegraph says that the bust of Longfellow recently placed in Westminster Abbey as a portrait, isgrand- ly true to the American poet's massive and leonino foaturcs. Seldom has aniod- orn subject lent itself so happily to the sculptor's art. “The front of Jove him- solf’ seems to be that of the ample- bruwod man of creative immagination, whcroto learning was the Ilcbu. Adorned with its Iiypcrion curls, the keen yet gontlc face seems to Icok forth from un- der shading brows with a living intelli- gcncc and penetration. Whilc Germany is discussing the ques- tion of indumnifying persons innocently sontoncod from the government treasury, the Austrian House of rcpmsuntativcslnis actually solved the problem to a compar- atively satisfactory dcgroc. That body, if it has not adopted tho cntirc principlo involvt‘d in tho original motion, especial- ly as regards the making it obligatory on tho state to indemnify such persons, has nevertheless agreed to grant them the right to demand an indemnity. In the course of the discussion tho facts were clicito'l that from 1801 to 1883 no less than 143 persons had boon innocently sentenced in Austria. Advicos from Madagascar state that Licut. Col. \Villoughby, an English olli- ccr, who distinguislnxl himself in the Zulu war, had arrived there, and was in consultation with the prime minister, with a viow of improving thuorganizih tion of tho llova army. The decision of tho government to rosist tho demands of the French for a protectorate ovcr any portion of the mainland of Madagascar mniaincd firm. Tho general impression was that the French would accept a money indemnity and withdraw from the island. A very strong feeling prcvailcd in govcniuwut circles in favor of de- vcloping the resources of the island, and this was, to a largo cxtcnt, attributed to tho visit of thc Malagasy envoys to llomc. Tho name Soudan means the country of tho blacks. This agn‘cs with its old appellation of (lush. a term derived from the son of Ilam, who, wean) told, was the mt progenitor of the black races of Africa.

These are the terms used to distinguish two forms of one disease; they are two diseases essentially identical, howeverdis- similar their external manifestations. Characterized exterle by certain alter- ations in the skin and the mucous mem- branes of tho respiratory passages of the head; consisting chiefly of ulcerations and the formation of a special kind of purulent matter, with inflammation of certain lymphatic vessels and glands, and indura- tion of the latter. Such is the definition given by Fleming, one of the highest authorities on conta- gious disease. } It mulled glanders when the nasal mucous membrane and the ad- jacent lymphatic glands, as well as the lungsgand otherprgans, are involved; and farcy, when lowlized in the skin and in the lymphatic vessels and glands. Ex- periment has proved ,that glanders will produce farcy, and rice term. The causesjare those which produce de- bility, and defective nutrition, excessive labor without proper food, faulty ventila- tion of stables. Animals thus enfeebled, if they do not develop it immediately, are liable todo so fromcolds or after wounds. When developed, of course contagion is thenta well known cause of its ex- tension. _ The vitality of the virus may last a long time. The medium in which itis contain- ed may be exposed to the air and dried and kept for a long time without losing its infective power. With regard to the transmission of the disease otherwise than by actual contact, opinions differ. Some contend that it. is impossible to communicate it in any of its forms by compelling animals to inhale the expired air of those suffering from the disease; others claim that it is both can- tagious and infectious. The first opinion, if acted upon, might, I think, lead to disastrous results, and should not be tried when the community might suffer from the trial; for if we grant that the virus is contained in the discharges from the ulcers, experiments have proved that pus and other organiz- ed cells float in the atmosphere. The specific virus contained in those cells may thus easily be conveyed from one animal to another, and, besides, glanders may ex- ist without any external manifestations, and even then itis capable of infecting others. ’ , Fleming remarks, “It is curious to ob- sc rvo how tennciously the contagion clings whcn once :it has obtained a footing, un- less the most careful preventive measures are taken.” Prof. Williams says that “ when gland- ors appear in a stable of horses, in addi- tion to the removal of all affected ani- mals, it. is most essential to attend care- fully fo the ventilation, drainage, food and water, and to the cleansing and disin- fection of the stables, fittings, harness and other appurtenances, the removal of contaminated woodwork, the painting of all fixtures, lime-washing, &c., and avoid overcrowdings, exhaustive work, and all debilitating influences.” It must be re- membered that. the malady may remain concealed, particularly in the chronic form, and that it may be introduced into a. stable where it may linger for years if not dealt with in a thorough manner. The risk ofinfection is increased from the fact that the horse may he apparently well and yet have the disease so as to con- taminate those which are healthy. I have had cases under my observation that were apparently improving, but; I have never yet known of a case, either of farcy or of glanders, to recover; and should on apparently do so I should be loath to pronounce him safe to be with othersâ€"Dr. J. 0'. Force. contain very little lat-cal news. Only the most important local events are narrated in the Tim, - 'e'ea, Telegraph, etc. But London has local . journals which have large circulations in the city and which mnever seen outside of London.

Mountain of Gold.- Pan and In]: tketchs or the ‘xhlrd Bion- est mm In the United States - Hts Houses on Every erectâ€"Heavy Taxes and flany Charities. ' ‘he third richest max) in the union, according to the Sew York .lIuruing Journal, is John Jacob Astor, the chief owner and heir of the Astor estate. L'n- like many millionaires, says the Journal writer, Astor has both name and richesâ€" a name linked with fabulous wealth for three succeeding generations. The estiâ€" mated value of the Astor estate is from $90,000,000 to $100,090,000. a veritable mountain of gold. John Jacob and William B. are its sole owners, the for- mer’s interest said to be tWo-thirds. For nearly a century the title of being "the landlords of New York” has attach‘ ed itself to them. John Jacob's interest in houses, lots, and farms may be Comput- ed in the thousands. Among the valuable buildings princi- pally owncd by Mr. Astor as chief heir to the estate is the old landmark, the Astor house, which was sold to his father by his grandfather, the founder of the immense estate, for $1. lts present value is said to he $2,000,000. being assessed at 81,- 750,000. The Guaranty and Idcninity building, chiefly owned by Mr. Astor, was purchased a short time ago for $1,- 000,000, while the Astor estate pays taxes on $50,000,000 of real estate situated be- low Chambers street, most of which con- sists of business houses on Broadway and Wall streets. There is scarcely a ward, street, or avenue in the city in which Mr. Astor does not own real estate, on which the total amount of taxes is over $400,000 annually. Another point of difference between Mr. Astor and other niillionaries is in his investments. In Wall street his name never appears as a speculator and seldom as an inVestor or seller of stocks, bonds, or other similar securities. Having an income of 10 per cent. on the gross amount invested in real estate, he quietly buys more houses or lands which oppor- tunity for good investment offers. In an inventory made of his various properties an item of $6,000,000 in cash appeared as “money in trust companies and banks waiting investment in real estate." Mr. Astor is a man of striking personal appearance, being over six foot in height, stout, somewhat inclined to corpulcnco, and as straight as at arrow. When on the street his quick, elastic step and smil- ing face, fringed with small gray side whiskers, invariably attract attention. Llis dress is simple and surprisingly neat. At business or in the street he wears a broadcloth cutaway or frock coat, with trousers to match, comfortably-looking Shoes, always lightly polished, while in his hand usually swings as he walks a large, purple silk umbrella. In summer his costume is changed to a black serge coat and trousers of some lighter color, while an easy straw hat. rests lightly on his ivory white head. Mr. Astor, though seldom speaking of himself, recently told a friend that although he had completed thrcescore years, he felt as well and hearty as he did at forty. Benevolence is his striking characteristic, oiic probably inherited from the founder of tho Astor library. Many of his charities are published, though the actual amount of good done with his every-day check-book is little known. In nearly all the charitable in- stitutions in this city the names ofhimself or wife, and often jointly, appear aslargc givers. During the winter months Mr. Astor is either at his oflicc at No. 21 West Tiventysixth street or at his home at No. 1338 Fifth avcnuo. The latter is familiar to nearly every resident of Fifth avenue, and is conspicuous for nothing but its plainncss and the spacious grounds which surround it. It is built of fins molded brick, with trimmings of brown stone, and has a double stairway loading to tho front entrance. The interior com- parcs favorably with any palace. During the late illness of his wife, Mr. Astor’s time was chiefly devoted to cheer- ing hcr weary hours at the bedside with tho same untiring affection he has shown throughout. the many years of his married life. llis principle recreations arc visits to his elegant country suit at Bheinec- liflic-on-thc-Hudsmi and yachting. The country seat is an anciout~looking estab- lishment, kept in the finest order, and is a rcminisccncc of olden time. Well shaded with trees of every kind, its iIn- nicnso lawns and gardens are traversed by Ion v drives and walks. Ilene, in the long days in the summer months, Mr. Astor sits on the cool piazza or under some shady true and roads. 110 is having built one of the iincst. pleasure yachts yet launchcd in tho waters of this country, the cost of which is placed at a trifle over $200,000. It will bocomplstcd early in the coming summer. â€"â€"‘m->”â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" The Kliedlve’s Mother. The mother of the Egyptian khedivo who recently died was a Circassian slave, and one of the four women to whom the cx-thdivc Ismail was married after the Oriental fashion. By one of those wives ho had several children, by another two daughters, another was childless, and the fourth was the mother of Tcwfik. Thislccss, son was not intended to be the heir to the l 1 his mother was not exalted to l l Ensflagc as a Food for Cattle. There is now little doubt as to the value of ensilago as a food for cattle, for there is abundant testimony from various parts of the country, where the experiment has been tried of building silos, that beasts thrive upon the compressed fodder that has been stored therein. For instance, its value as a fattening food for cattle has been demonstrated upon Mr. Strobart’s estate at Northallerton, by a'wrefully con- ducted trial. Twelve beasts were divided into lots of six each. All were alike given the same quantity of meal and cake. Besides this, one lot received daily, each beast, twenty-four and a half pounds of hay and ninety-five pounds of turnips: the other lot receiving in lieu of ha and turnips each seventy-five poun s of ensilage. At the beginning of the experi- ment the animals were weighed separately. At the end of one month they were again weighed. All of course showed a great advance; but those fed on ensilage totalled up to a figure which was forty-nine pounds better than the total exhibited by those fed in the more orthodox style. As we have on a previous occasion hinted, the principle of cusilage has. after a manner, been applied for some years to fruit by the jam makers. In the years of plenty fruit is reduced to pulp, and can in this state, if the air is carefuliy exclud- ed, be made to keep well until a time of scarcity occurs. Largo quantities of ap- ricot pulp finds its way to this country from France, and realises a good price. In America a clever plan of rapid drying and evaporation of the watery parts of fruit has conic into vogue, and this in- dustry gives employment to many work- ers. A stove constructed for the purpose costs about fifteen pounds. It is portable, slid is used in many districts far from towns where them is not aready market for fresh fruit. As the water slowly eva- porates tho acid and starch in the fruit. undergo a chemical change, and grape sugar is formed. \Vhen placed in water these dried fruits once more swell up to their ori inal volume, and are in every respect h a fresh fmit, only that they re- quire, when cooked, but half the usual quantity of added sugar.

DESTROYING Ixsscrs. â€" Prof. C. Y. Riley says that tobacco, helleborc soap, arsenic in the form of Paris en or Lou- pon purple, petroleum and ersian insect powder are the artices chiefly used as msectides. With such a list it would seem that most noxious insects might be kept in check if proper care is taken. To- bacco is quite as effective in the form of vapor as in either smoke or solution, and is loss liable to injure delimts plants. Buss In House Stuns. â€" Where homes are fed whole grain it is very diffi- cult to prevent a portion of the barnyard fowls from staying round the stables. This is good for the hens; but unless care is taken it will be bad for the horses. If hens have access to the feed boxes they will foul the seed so badly that horses will soon get out of condition. Again the vermin from the hens, if there be any, will attack the horses, and a long fight must be waged to remedy the evil. .-9 Recent Battle-Fields. A telegram from Triukitat, in the Lon- don Times says: This morning the cavv airy and mounted infantry, With Maj. Gens. Graham and Butler, Col. Stewart, and their respective staffs, started to visit a large rebel village called Dubbah, some five miles beyond Tokar, where it was re- ported that a number of the enemy had collected. The statement proved to be incorrect, for on nearing the place the scouts reported that nothing living was visible, except some goats and cattle. Dubbah is a large, straggling village, of circular form, covering a mile in area, i l canvass, canes, and matting, and are all in a woful state of dilapidation. As we drew near a wonderful sight met our eyes. Outside of the town, in some large huts, were stacked a quantity of rifles, and close by was Baker Pasha's missing gatlings and mountain gun, brought there from Tokar. Round about and in every hut, lay more rifies, heaps of bayonets, cartridges, portmantenus, saddlery, clothes, stationery, material, and remnants of all kindsâ€"all taken from the equipment of Baker Pasha’s army. Clothes were there, pierced with spears, papers, medical instruments, hand instru- ments, and all manner of articles, quite useless to the rebels. The enemy had evidently lately been in Dubl‘ah, for there was found in a but the forage cap of a hussar, killed in tho cav- alry charge of Friday last. From the confused state of the mass it was evident. that the rebels had hurriedly ransacked- thc loot for objects of value. Here and there in the huts Were recently dug holes, showing where money had been hidden. We found great quantities of dourah, suflicienf. for two years, together with other provisions. The number of rifles exceeded 1,500. These were at once destroyed by the soldiers. The rebels seem to have abandoned all that was not absolutely necessary to them. Leaving Dubbah, we again visited Tokar. From the appearance of the walls it was evident that no serious at- tempt had been made by the rebels on the town. In Tokar only seventy soldiers were found by Maj. Gen. Graham on his arrival there; but next day we found many coming in from the country, with their families ands: "nifty. These had either flethhen th- ' is were fighting at El Tub or gon.‘ “.mnpany with the rebels, and, laggingl‘f .Iiind, had at least thought it better to return. Tokar is a miserable mud village, possessing no interest. The garrison state that since their surrender they had been badly treated by the rebels, whose servants they had agreed to become. We found a wounded artillerymnn. He stated that he and seven others had been dragged with ropes to El Tel) to fight the guns. All the others were killed, and he, on trying to escape, was shot in the back by the rebels. He crawled to Tokar dur- ing the night. He said that a. great num- ber of the rebels escaped in a wounded condition. According to this man and others the rebels say they were deceived by Osman Digma, who told them it was untrue that the English were coming, and assured them that they would only have to meet and defeat another Egyp- tian army. He says that the rebels will never meet the English again. On returning hero I visited Baker Pasha's battle-field. It. is a horrible scene. In one plnco were more than three hundred bodies, heaped over each other, showing the remains of the square. In other places seventy bodies or more were lying together. Beyond this corpses strew the ground up to within half a mile of Fort Baker, mostly in small groups of five or six. Morioo Bey, Dr. Leslie, Capt. Forrestier-Walkerâ€"ull Englishmen â€"and many other Europeans were recog- nized, and their graves are now marked by crosses. v The Mehdl’s Tutor. There is at present in Paris no less a person than the mehdi's tutor ; and of course he has been interviewed by the Figaro's correspondent. Ge-nial-ed-Din Stho Beauty of Religion) is aman of about 7 years of age, and is an Afghan. He has been a long time at the same business as tho mehdi, apparently without the same success; but. at all events the mehdi is his favorite pupil, and all the mchdi's staff are his other favorite pupils ; for in this respect he resembles the late Dr. Ar- nold. 0n the arrival of the interviewer, Gemal-ed-Din at once asked him what he would takeâ€"u piece of courtesy, by the way, which does not full to the lot appar- ently of most interviewers. Thu conver- sation was carried on in Arabic, with the std of a dictions , and both parties got on tolerably. The tutor, it seems, is over in Paris on business concerned with his pupil, who is about to set up a news- per to spread over the eastern World is views on politics, which are much bet~ fer known in Europe, ho says, than in Asia. This organ he says, will be dis- patched in bales to all Mohammedan countries and read with avidity ; and in a short time there will be a grand Mussul. man upheaval, ending with the conquest of the world, including America, and uni- versal happiness for two hundred years. For the benefit of timid persons. however, it may at once he said that the conquest will be carried outd with flaglittls (llilood- ahsd upossibls, an no p' a; an any- one who likes to submit will be allowed to do so.
