THE Oberlin Herald has just been en larged and otherwise greatly improved in appearance. Borin mind } 'our Eye. THE Indianola Times makes its ini tial bow to tbe public , tbis week. Ifc is a creditable publication and bears the mark of the Watkins brothers. Ix the pending political canvass in France a large list of lady candidates for tlie assembly has been announced. Gentlemen have been appealed to assist these aspirants to legislative honors , but so far have not responded with any great alacrity. They want thewomen of France to attend to their knitting. IT is very gratifying to know that there was not an American born citizen in the murderous crowd that brained and burned the helpless Chinese miners at Rock Springs. A large portion of the criminals were not citizens at all. It will be a sad day for this country when the boys and girls bred on our soil and edu cated in our free schools show the sav age instincts and merciless cruelty dis played by the so-called "white" miners in Wyoming. ACCORDING to the latest dispatches the peace negotiations between England and Russia , with Afghanistan as the subject matter , have been successfully terminated. Russia gets everything she asked for and Afghanistan gets the sat isfaction of the boy whose bull failed to take the premium at the fair. He : ( got a mighty good drive out of the bull. " The British government have had no end of fun out of the negotiations and Mr. Gladstone's government was inci dentally overthrown on one ot the side issues-of the drive. Journal. CHRISTIAN , King of Denmark , has set himself up as a despot on a small scale. His parliament having refused to vote him the subsidies he asked for , he is attempting the role of Charles I of England , and is keeping up his treas ury balance by levyin provisional taxes. There is a good deal of agitation over his unconstitutional measure , and the mayors of many towns are resigning rather than to collect his levies. The people are getting red hot and the first thing the Prince of Wales knows he will find himself with a father-in-law on hand , who has retired from business for want of assets. Journal. THE new board of examiners appoint ed by Secretary Whitney to overhaul the Dolphin and report what changes and improvements are necessary to bring her up to the standard required by the con tract and the act of congress providing for her building have completed their labors. They report that the sum of $325 will be all that will have to be expended for the purpose. Now let the heathens rage and the Inhabitants of Kentucky imagine a vain thing. Whit ney has a black eye and his war on old John Roach appears in the most con temptible light. $325 is a vast sum to make all this expense and row about. State Journal.
