Lawkence Bakkett, whoarrivi
other daj' from England, in an in
says: "When Mr. Henry Irving
to this country I shall have the honor of
playing wifii him in a series of Shaks
pearean revivals. We have selected
'King John' and 'Julius Caesar' to begin
with. We have not arranged 'as yet
what the cast will be in 'King John,' but

Piiof. S. P. Langlev, Director of the
Pittsburgh University Observatorv.states
that the usefulness of the observatory
is threatened by tho smoke which in
Tadcs the sky from all quarters, and
.the increasing 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.
Langlev states that the days of the ob
servatory for scientific purposes are
numbered.
The so-called Siberian plague is re
ported to have broken out in Kussia. If
tho 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 1605; the
'great plague in London," like the fire
of the next year, is an historic land
mark. The plague of the fourteenth
century Uie celebrated "black death"
is said to have taken oft 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. Tho revolution
of the blacks, which had attained con
siderable importance some months back,
has not been put down. On tlo con
trary, letters from the province of
Bissao state that the only gunboat on
that station the Barreto 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. The entire Portuguese press ad
mits this, and urges the Government to
adopt energetic measures without fur-
tlier delay.
By actual count, a Philadelphia paper
gays, there are 13,862 "Maiden Rocks"
in tho United States, exclusive of Idaho
and Washington Territories, which are
still to be heard from. These rocks
are widely distributed, but there are
so fewer than 650 in Michigan, S00 in
Wisconsin, 180 in Iowa, 187 in Illinois,
250 in Indiana, and 567. in Vermont
alone. A "Maiden Rock" is always
connected with tho unvarying legend
that a beautiful and gentle Indian maid,
daughter of a noted chief, leaped from
its apex into the yawning abyss below,
rather than to wed with a barbarian
brave, chosen by her stern parents, or
to show herself false to that other red
skin upon whom the affections of her
heart were set.
Great interest was taken at Wash
ington in the action of the Postmaster
General in the matter of letter-carriers
leave of absence. Although Judge
Gresham asked Congress for $100,000
to carry out the law; fce was only al
lowed one-half tliat sum. At first it
was thought that the consequence
would be that the carriers would
be restricted to seven days leave
instead, of the fifteen allowed by
.law. In reply to questions on the
subject, Judge Gresham said raeently
that he should certainly create no defi
ciency jfor the purpose, and tkat no part
of .the 4i,000,QOO which is provided for
the free-delivery service would be used
if tbe whole sum was required else
where. Judge Gresham added, how,
ver, that he- thought tbe full fifteen
days1 leave could be granted this year
. mad the smfeatiiataft. paid out of the $50.'

Auocsta, MK. July ISHoa, j. c.
Blaine issued h letter of acceftonce yester
day. It Is rather a lengthy document,
dated July 15. In reference to the tariff he
says: "Revenue laws arc in Uwir verv
nature subject to frequent rwolon in order
that they atay I adapted to changes am
modifications oftrade. Tie Repubil
party is not contending for th permane:
of any particular statute. The ixne
tween the two parties loes not have
enc to a snurifie law. I' U far hravCr
and far deener. It invol tt m. ntiiiciMf of
wide application and bei.encent innv100
against a theory which w believe to un
sound In conception and nevitably artful
in practice. In the inary tariff n'oii
which have been necc"ary for tip It
twenty-three years, or Mhlch may heatter
become necessary, the l.'epnbliean !
maintained and will ma utalu the 4cy of
protection to American industry, wtfle our
opponents insist upon a revision, im'i prac
tically destroys that policy. Thfue U
thus distinct, well defined and uiw'ilible.
The pending election nay detJMne the
fate of protection for a sretier- The
overthrow of the policy means inrge and
Itermanent reduction in the wfc of the
American laborer, beside?, itnolw tbe Iov
of vast amounts of Aniericanfrfipital In
vested in manufacturing euteraPo- The
value of the present revenue 4ni to the
people of the Uulted States lit a matter
of theory, ami 1 shall subia o argu
ment to sustain it. I only imp? attention
to certain facts of official recoB which eeiu
to constitute a demonstration F On foreign
commerce he has this to say s "A frequent
accusation by our opponents fcthat the for
eign commerce of the countn has Mendih
decayed under the influence Jof tbe protec
tive tariff. In this way thr&eck toarra
the importing Interest against the Iietnibh
can party. It is a common"'! yet radical
error to confound the coatfHerve of the
country with it carrying trade an error
often committed innocently and somctlme
designedly but an error s uross that It
does not distinguish Iwtwecn the shipaml the
cargo. Foreign commerce represents thee.xj
jwrts and iuqort. of a country regardless, oi
the nationality of the vessel that may cany
the commodities of exchange- Our cam ing
trade has from obvious caues suffered
many discouragement since 1 sCo, but our
foreign commerce lias in the same period
steadily and prodigiously increased in
creased Indeed at a rate and to an amount
which absolutely dwarf all previous de
eIopmefns of our trade iwyond the sea.
From 1SG0 to the present tune the foreign
commerce of the United Mate. (dMdcd
with approximate equally between ejorts
and imitorts) reached the astounding ag
gregate of twenty-four tliousind millions of
dollars ($24,000,000,000.1 The balance In
this vast commerce inclined in our favor,
bui it would have been much larger if our
trade with the countries of America, else
where referred to, had been more w iel
adjusted."
AOmCl'I.TlKl-
document, which is protect le
throughout, says oftheagricultur.il interest:
Thc agricultural interest is by far the
est in the nation, and is entitled in ecn
Bstmcnt of revenue laws to the first con-
tion. Anv iMilicy hostile to the full-
lopmeut of agriculture in the United

Tn some years the disparity has been so great
that for every pee of com exported 100
bushels have been consumed in tbe home
market. The farmers see that In the
increasing competition from the grain fichts
of Kussia and from tlie distant plains of
India, the growth of the home market be
comes dally of greater concern to them and
that its Impairment would depreciate the
value ot every acre of tillable land
In the Union." Inferring to foreign
relations, Blaine Is rather temperate In his
remarks, nothing of a bellieose nature ap
pearing, condudlng on tliat subject by say
ing: "Our' 'foreign policy should be
an American policy in its- broadest
and most comprehensive sense a pol
icy ot peace, of friendship, of commercial
enlargement. The name of American
which belongs to us in our National ca
pacity must always exalt the just pride of
patriotism. Citizenship must be the pano
ply aad safeguard of him who wears it. Tlie
American citizen, rich or poor, native or
naturalized, white or colored, must 'every
where walk secure la his personal and civil
rights, the public should never accept a
lesser doty. It can never assume a aoer
one than the protection of tbe hamohjst
man who bokte it loyallyprotection at
home aad protection which shall follow him
abroad, Into whatever land be may go apott
a lawful errand."
THE SOCTHKBX QUKSTIOX.
Mrv Blaine says: "I recegnUe. net with
out regret, the necessity for speaking of two
sections of ear country. But Urn regret
diminishes when I see that the dements
which separate them are fast disappearing.
