FOREIGN. t ENGLAND. At the national free trade conference * at Leamington Robert P. Porter , ex-secre tary of the United States tariff commission , spoke at reat length in laver of protection. Lord Mayor Fowler , in refusing tc allow Dr. Btocker , chaplain to the court ol Germany , to lecture in the Mansion House stated he could not disregard the feelings o the Jewish community by giving promi nence to Dr. Stacker , who has excited hos tility against the Jews. Carl Bland writes to newspapers that every man with a spart of humanity ought to protect against Stack er's detestable crusade against the Jews. The London poliqe prevented a pro cession with a black Sag Inscribed ' 'Starva tion" approaching Guild ball during the lord mayor's twnquct'ln London. IUELAND. The Freeman's Journal has published the full text of a circular proposing whole sale emigration from Ireland , which it is al- ledgedthe government issued , though the authorities disavow any connection with the paper. The Freeman's Journal declares that the scheme is but a continuation of the policy under which Irish were kidnapped and transported to the "West Indies in the days of Cromwell , or as they are packed in coffin ships today.FRANCE. FRANCE. Rear Admiral Farnquet , commanding the French fleet in Algerian waters , has been appointed to command the fleet in the Pacifis ocean. TURKEY. The brigands who attacked the Armenian caravan have been apprehended at the instance of British and American rep resentatives. RUSSIA. Simultaneously with the departure of De Grers , secretary of state from St. Peters burg for Switzerland via Berlin , to visit his daughter , the editors of the St. Petersburg newspapers received orders forbidding the discussion of the probability of war with Germany. DeGrers will visit Bismarck. ENGLAND. Dr. Stacker , chaplain to the German court , lectured upon German socialism at London on the 14th. A large and unruly crowd was present , who frequently cheer ed , hissed and groaned the lecturer , and in terrupted him with insulting cries and epi thets. Finally the disturbance became so great that Dr. Stocker Indignantly left the "hall , and the meeting ended in confusion. It is stated that Henry Chaplin , member of parliament for Lincolnshire , proposes to continue his effort to induce the government to restrict the importation of cattle from the United States. The prison rules heretofore prevented Pryor seeing O'Donnell except with the permission of the home department. The solicitor for O'Donnell wrote the home sec retary asking permission for Pryor to see nls client. .The secretary replied that Pryor might make personal application , stating that the grnunds for the request Pryor made required the application on the sole grounds of his being one of the counsel , and deemed it expedient for the defense that he should see him. The home department thereupon granted the request. The pris oner was afforded every facility by tke offi cials of Newgate for the Interview , which lasted two and a half hours. Propositions for O'Donnell's defense are well advanced. Roger A. Pryor had a long and satisfactory Interview with the prisoner on the 14th , the first since Ws arrival. Mclnerny , of O'Don nell's counsel , has brought from Ireland & mass of evidence , and he feels confident that the verdict will not be wilful murder. The witnesses from the Cape of Good Hope arc expected to arrive in England soon. Wil liam J. Boppin , secretary of the American legation , in the absence of Minister Lowell , visited O'Donnell and formally ascertained the fact of his American citizenship. FRANCE. It is understood that Marquis Tseng returned to Paris because of a more con venient way for carrying on negotiations. The Liberte says the negotiations are likely to be resumed upon a basis which will allow China to retain Boc Ulnt. A Paris dispatch asserts that Marquis Tseng , Chinese embassador , is prepared to present an ultimatum to the French govern ment and demand his passports , if the French forces in Tonquin make an attack upon Bacrtinh and Soiitay. GERMANY. Diegers , the Russian minister of for eign affairs , has gone to Frlederichruhe to visit Bismarck. It is reported that the crown prince will meet the king of Italy when're- turning from his visit to the king of Spain. The National Zeitung says : Diegers expressed a firm friendship for Germany , and declared that he stopped at Berlin by wish of the czar , that he might convey to the emperor and Bismarck expressions of the frieadly feelings of Eu. < > ia towards Ger many. GERMANY. The German consul at Tamatone , Madagascar , has been Instructed to hoist the German flag < .ver his consulate in that city. The tone of the French press upon the .pro jected visit of the crown prince to Bang Al fonso made a very bad impression in Berlin. Bismarck mainly desires to discuss with Degiers , the foreign minister , the eUte of affairs in Bulgaria. Germany will Bend a special envoy to Pekin to exert Us influence in behalf of a peaceful solution of 'the Ton ' quin affair. It is reported that the govern ment will ask the reichstag for a grant' to build fifty torpedo boats. GERMANY. The Berlin Courier states that Bis marck metlT. De Giers , the Russian minis ter of-foreign affairs , at the railway station upon his arrival at Friederickruhe , and re ceived him in a formal but friendly man ner. They drove to the mansion of Bis marck and were'several hours In couversa tlon. Bismarck" , the Courier states , look ill and thl , and his face is yellow fromth effects of a recent attack of Jaundice am his gate is heavy , but his eyes retain thel force. The Crown Prince on the 15th tool leave of tha emperor at the palace andlef for Spain. ENGLAND. i Inquiries come to London fron America as to whether it was true , as re ported in trade circles there , that thoFrencl government had removed the prohibitioi against the American hog'products. Kelthc newspapers nor news agencies can find au thority for the statement that this has beei done , and inquiries at Taris full to confiru the report. The London Times' Paris dispatcl says : The collective arbitration of power most interested must prevent war betwcei France and China. Europe will be delight ed to learn that they have accepted the arbl tratlon of England , Russia and America. It is believed tht > prosecution o O'Donnell intends to treat the case as ai ordinary one of murder , and nothing of i political nature will be .introduced unles rendered necessary by mode of the defense ENGLAND. The London Observer says there i reason to believe that the result of the inter views between De Lesseps and English shi ] owners , on'the Suez canal matter , has beei to leave the latter under the impression tha the points of view from which they respec tively regard the question differ too funda mentally to allow any possibility of a mutua agreement. , Speaking at Manchester on thi 17th , De Lesseps said that he had recoivec from engineers of the Panama canal assur ances that the canal would be open in fivi years. FRANCE AND CHINA. In an interview Marquis Tsenz de clared that recently the situation betweei France and China has become very critical owing to the proceedings of the French , thi Government's- repeated votes in the cham her of deputies , and the Juxtaposition o Chinese and French troops. Many well armed and regulated Chinese regulars hav < crossed the frontier and encamped at Bac > mint , where they are closely watching th ( movements of the French. Notwithstand ing the movements of the French fleet , thre < army corps of 10,000 men each , and equip' ped in European fashion , can on very short notice , march by three different routes against the French. Among th Chinese troops are many European and American engineers. The French may be able to throw a few bombshells into Can ton , but it would be difficult for their fleet to approach the place , as the water is too shallow. France must first give warning if she contemplates a hostile demonstration to the merchant vessels of all nations .here. II the Canton Mandarins are energetic the na tives will fight well , and the French will find them worthy foemen. Chinais receiv ing encouragement and material aid from all sides. I have received no communication from the French government since my last arrival in Paris. I shall return to Folke stone almost immediately. Concluding he said : China ardently desires peace and de plores that the situation daily becomes more aggravated. She will recognize , however regretfully , the accomplished facts and leave to France the towns and forts captured south of Red river. China is determined , however , to hold Bacmint against- com ers with the , greatest energy. The passage of the Red river will certainly be a declara tion of war. China is perfectly aware that Admiral Coubet is preparing for a campaign against the Chinese. He repeatedly sends telegrams demanding boats of light draught and depends entirely on France to avoid war. France must 'stop at once. Tomorrow row may be too late. THE MARKETS. OMAHA.

"Well-Known G-ntlemnn'aPhllnnthrop ; and the Commotion Caused By One of His tetters , Kocheslor Democrat and Chronicle. We published in our local column yesterday morning a significant lette : from a gentleman known personally o : by reputation to nearly every person ii the land. We have-received a numbe : of letters protesting against the use o our columns for such "palpable fraud ; and misrepresensations ; " therefore , t ( confirm beyond a doubt the authenticity of the letter , and the genuineness of itJ sentiments , a reporter of this paper wai commissioned to ascertain all the possi ble facts in the matter. Accordingly h < visited Clifton Springs , saw the authoi of the letter , and with the following re suit : Dr. Henry Foster , the gentleman ii question , is 63 or C4 years of age , am has an extremely cordial manner. H ( presides as superintendent over tin celebrated sanitarium which accom dates over 600 guests and is un questionably the lending health re sort of the country. Several yean ago this benevolent man wisely de 'tormined to be his own executor ; and therefore , turned over this magnificen : property , worth § 300,000 , as a free gif to a board of trustees , representing tin principal evangelical denominations Among the trustees are Bishop AlC.Coxi Protestant Episcopal , Buffalo ; Bishoj Matthew Simpson , Philadelphia , Meth odist Episcopal ; President M. B. An derson , of the University of Rochester ; Ilev. Dr. Clark , Secretary of the A. B C. F. M. , Boston. The benevo'entpur pose of the institution is the care : 1st of evangelieal missionaries and theii families whose health has been broker in their work. 2d of ministers , of anj denomination , in good standing. 3d of members of any church , who other wise would be unable to secure sue ! care and treatment. The current ex penses of the institution are met by tin receipt from the hundreds of distin guished and wealthy people who everj year crewd its utmost capacity. Hen come men and women who were once in perfect health , but neglected the firsl symptoms of disease. The uncertain pains they fell at first were overlooked until their health became impaired , They little realized the danger before them , nor how alarming even trilling ailments might prove. They constitute all 'classes , including ministers and bishops , lawyers , judges , statesmen , millionaires , journalists , college profes sors and officials from all parts .of the land. ) Drawing the morning Democrat and Chronicle from his pocket , the reporter remarked : "Doctor , that letter of yours has created a good deal of talk , and many of our readers have ques tioned its authenticity. " "To what do you refer ? " remarked the doctor. "Have you not seen the paper ? " "Yes , but I have not had time to road it yet. " The reporter thereupon showed him the letter , which was as follows. CLIFTON SPRINGS SANITARIUM Co , , " ) CLIFTON SPRINGS , N. Y. , > Oct. 11,1883. ) DEAR SIR : I am using Warner's Safe Cure , and I regard it as the best rem edy for some forms of kidney disease that we have. I am watching with great care some cases I. am now treating with it , and I hope for favorable results. I wish you might come down yourself , as I would like very much to talk with you about your sterling remedy , and show you over our institution. Yours truly , [ Signed. ] HENRY FOSTER , M.D. "I do not see why anybody should be skeptical concerning that letter , " re marked the doctor. "Isn't it unusual for a physician of your standing and influence to com mend a proprietary preparation ? " "I don't know how it may be with others , but in this institution we allow no person to dictate to us what we shall use. Our purpose is to cure the sick , and for that work we use anything we know to be valuable. Because I know Warner's Safe Cure is a very valuable preparation , I commend it. As its power is manifested under my use , so shall I add to the completeness of my commendation. ' * "Have you ever analyzed it , doctor ? " "We always analyze before we try any preparation of which we do not knoTr the constituents. But analysis , you know , only- gives the elements ; it does not give the all-important proper tions. The remarkable power of War ner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in the proportions according to which its elements are mixed. " While there may be a thousand remedies made of the same elements , unless they are put together in proper proportions , they are worthless as kidney and liver prepara tions. "I hope some day to meet Mr. War ner personally , and extend fuller con gratulations to him on the excellence Df his preparations. I have heard much tf him as the founder of the Warner Observatory , and as a man of lare benevolencev The renuted high -char- icter of the' man himself gare assur- ince to me in the first place that ho ivould not put a remedy upon the mar- tet that was not trustworthy ; and it was i source of a good deal of gratification * > me to find out by actual experiment hat the remedy itself sustained mv iin- iressions. " The conclusion reached by Dr. Fos- er.is , precisely the same found by Dr. ) io Lewis , Dr. Robert A. Guiin , Ex- jurgeon-General Gallagher and others , ind proves beyond , a. doubt the great fficacy of the remedy which has awak- ned so much attention in the land and escuod so many men , women and chil- iren from disease and death. To Keep Autumn Leaves Bright. New York Sao. Autumn leaves are very fashionable this year as parlor decorations. All the large florists are getting them in large quantities , and , after they are prepared , sell them at 25 cents a dozen. The leaves in greatest demand are oak leaves , which , dried and varnished , tire placed about picture frames and in bunches on the walls. Leaves' from the chestrAit tree , which are said to retain their green color , are often mixed in amonor the oak leaves , which are of a reddish brown. On any clear Saturday bevies of young girls may be seen in Central 1'ark gathering leaves. The maple leaves and sumac are greatly sought for. They are garrid home and pressed. They often * fail to keep their color. A florist said yesterday that the best way to preserve leaves was to press them between blotting paperor some other soft paper. "After several days , " he said , "take them out and stamp the paper , lest the moisture cause the leaf to rot. Keep changing the paper at intervals until the leaves are thoroughly dry. Then they will look dull. ' The colors will verge toward the brown , and the col lector , who has not had experience , may imagine that the color is fading. This is not so. The color has to be t > rought out by oil , varnish or wax. I prefer oil. The next best thing is to varnish the leaves with a thin white varnish. I do not approve of waxing , for it makes the leaves too brittle. The leaves are rubbed over with wax and then ironed with a warm flatiron. Formerly wreaths and orna ments were made out of pressed leaves ; now they are only used for pictures and to decorate walls. To my mind the handsomest leaves are the maple. They are of almost every tint. We often find the palest canary , yellow , orange , and red on the same leaf. They are also easy to press.11 At the florist at the southeast cor ner of Broadway and Twenty-third street the reporter saw a large box filled with mingled oak and chestnut leaves. "These are the only kind of leaves which we press this year1 the young lady in charge said. "We Ipress the leaves and then varnish them. " "What kind of varnish do you use ? " "I really don't know , " she replied ; "we buy it at a paint store a few blocks away. " "Is there much sale for dried leaves ? " "Yes , indeed. "We sell a great many. After they are prepared we charge 25 cents a bunch. There are about a dozen in a bunch. \ f Faus are covered with the dresa ma terial and hand-painted. Don't Untie the Knot. Philadelphia Time * . "I will absolutely have no further communication with my husband , " said Mrs. Annie Ronnie in thoDceertion Court yesterday. "Ho has ill-treated me ; he has used profane language to me ; he throws egg-shells in my face and twice ho struck me. " "But if he should give you assurance that these things sbi\A not be repeated ; that he will treat you kindly , leaving it to me. to use strong measures if ho should fail to keep his promise , what then ? " asked Judge Allison. "Would you not try him again and go live with him ? " "No ; I shall not seem him again. " "That is a wrong disposition , " an swered the court. "Marriage is com ing to be too lightly regarded in this city. There are causes that justify a wife in separating from a husband and a husband in leaving his wife ; but they are no trifles. Every cause is not such a cause. Husbands and wives must learn to bear and forbear. An noyances that mav make life perhaps less comfortable than it might be will not always justify one in violating the martial vow and rending assunder the martial state. It seems to mo that the natural feelings of sympathy for a woman in this court is working harm. If a woman feels that if her husband of fended her she may leave him with the certainity of getting an order of support aguiqst him out of this court she is en couraged to take up her pack and abandon him. In the lust ten years this weekly desertion business , as it is called , has increased four-fold. There must be something wrong , some where. In the case in hand Andrew llennie , the husband , ascribed all his troubles to his mother-in-law , and said that ho wished to have his wife back and had rooms awaiting her return. The mother-in-law denied that she was at all to blame and declared that her son- in-law misfortunes were all upoa his own head. Mrs. llennie said that she would make : i living for herself and asked only that her husband might be decreed to contribute to the support of his two little children. The judge de clined to make an order for the time , but suggested that the support ought to be given , "and as an incentive to a reconciliation , " he added , addressing the husband , "as an evidence of your good will , you should contribute to the maintenance of your wife also. Then " when you prove "to her that you really mean to do well , I hope that you will come together again. " "No , " said the wife , in low , decided tones ; "no , I trusted him before. I will not try him again. " -o - Goodness is the only happiness. > M LKVELLOUS WEBBER SINGING BOLl * . r/\ \ A Mechanical "Wonder.

ILLINOIS , The Peculiar Old Mystery 1 It was one of the peculiarities of the old-lashioned Doctors that they never would tell patients what they were prescribing for them. They said it would do the patients no good to know , and that it would only be grati fying a foolish curiosity. In order to keep patients from knowing , they would write the prescriptions in dog-Latin , so that most patients could not read them. All that sort of thing is now over. Thepatientwants to know what he takes. He is weak , and wants to be strong , or he is dyspeptic , and wants to digest well. Or lie has a troublesome liver which he wants to put to rights. So he takes Brown's Iron Bitters about which there is no mystery at all. This is the best preparation of iron -in the world , in com bination with gentle yet efficient tonics. It gives strength. It builds up enfeebled systems. It enriches impoverished blood. It removes' feminine weaknesses. It casts out debility. It is what YOU want , and your ckuggist has it. 2 "
