The size of the family probably pre
yeated its members, as years passed

Lawrence Barrett, who arrived the
other day from England, in an interview
aays: "When Mr. Henry Irving returns
to this country I shall have the honor of
playing wiCh him in a series of Shaks
pearean revivals. We have selected
'King John1 and 'Julius Caesar' to begin
with. We have not arranged as yet
what the cast will be in 'King John,' but
in 'Julius Csesar' I will, of course, ap
pear as Cassius, while Mr. Irving will
play Brutus. We may afterward ex
change roles."
Pkof. S. P. Langley, Director of the
Pittsburgh University Observatory, states
that the usefulness of the observatory
is threatened by the smoke which in
vades the sky from all quarters, and
tho increasiug haze from moisture in
the atmosphere, which the smoke seems
to enhance. In five months there has
not been one day sufficiently clear for
delicate observations. Unless this state
of affairs is done away with Prof.
Langley states that the days of the ob

The so-called Siberian plague is re
ported to have broken out in Russia. If
the affliction is the genuine disease of
that name, this is its first appearance
in Europe since 1816. It was very fatal
at Moscow in 1771 and 1772. The Brit
ish Islands were last visited in 1665; the
''great plague in London," like the fire
of the next year, is an historic land
mark. The plague of the fourteenth
century the celebrated "black death"
is said to have taken off 25,000,000
Europeans. The disease is now be
lieved to originate only in Turkey and
the regions south and east of the Medit
erranean. It is essentially a malignant
contagious fever.
The situation of the Portuguese in
Guinea is very critical. The revolution
-of the blacks, which had attained con
siderable importance some months back,
has not been put down. On the con
trary, letters from the province of
Bissao state that the only gunboat on
that station the Barrcto has been
captured by the insurgents, the crew
escaping in the boats. The moral ef
fect of the abandonment of this vessel
and the delay in putting down this rising
are likely to prove disastrous for Portu
gal. Theeatire Portuguese press ad
mits this, aad urges the Government to
adopt eaergetic measures without fur
Vtifcer delay.

the conspiracy.

abroad, and that in the case of
onlr other cereal which we export
to any extent, 100 bushels have been used at
home to three and a half bushels extorted.
In some years the disparity lias been so great
that for every peck of corn exorted 100
bushels have been consumed in the home
market. The farmers see that in the
increasing competition from the grain fields
of Kussiaand from the distant plains of
India, the growth of the home market le
coines daily of greater concern to them and
that its Impairment would depreciate the
value of every acre of tillable land
in the Union.'' Referring to foreign
relations, Blaine is rather temperate in his
remarks, nothing of a bellicose nature aj
pearing, concluding on that subject by say
ing: "Our foreign policy should be
an American policy in its broadest
and most comprehensive fense a pol
icy of iKjace, of friendship, of commercial
enlargement. The name ot American
which belongs to as in our Rational ca
pacity must always exalt the just pride of

Mr Blaine sav-s: "I recognize, not with
out regret the necessity for speaking of two
sections of our country. But the regret
diminishes when I see that the elements
which separate them are fast disappearing.
Prejudices have yielded and are yielding,
hile a growing cordiality warms the South
em and Xortheni heart alike. Can anyone
doubt that between the two sections confi
dence and esteem are to-day more marked
than at any period in the sixty
years preceding the election of Presi

The Cholera.
MAitsEii.i.Es, July IS. -Although the

and people are still leaving the city. Since
the first appearance of the plague here it is
estimated that no less than fifty thousand
joople have tied from their homes. Tar
barrels are .still being burned at night to
purify the air, and thegreatelouds of smoke
arising from the blazing piles floats lazily
over the cit3". Xo rain has fallen for man3
days. Foul gases emanate from the
parched earth, and the streets present a
deserted apjearaiice. The death-carts
rattle over the blistering jmvetnent with
painful regularity. Relatives of the
victims of the scourge seldom accom
pany the remains to the grave. Xcarly all
the business houses in the city liave been
closed because of the utter stagnation In
trade. Many merchants, unable Uj meet
debts contracted in Paris and Lyons, have
gone i nto bankruptcy. In the quarter
where tie cholera rirst.tik up Its march
