COLUMBIAJS' AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBTJRG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. Meiloo and the United Btate. Ptwn the SU JihI rreu. i resident uiaz, in liin message to 1110 AmoriMti Congress, refers with justifiable jiriilo to tho progress wbloti uas ucon mauo in tno ucpuoiio in ro cent years, and commends tho ap' proaching throa Americas Congress, to which Mexico will send represents lives. Our relations with Mexico are, indeed, mnoh pleasanler than they were a few years ago, when the border raids threatened to provoke conflict, and when our sister ropubllo had not Decomo absorbed in works of imnrovo mont, and tho peoplo had plenty of iciBuro 10 Droou over mo embers of ro- senlment growing out of tho Mexican war and think bitter things of Ameri cans. To-day the boundary question U not settled, but it is in a fair way to sememcm j American capital baa add cd Bovcral thousand miles of railroad to tho old English built Vera Cruz and and City of Mexico Line, and millions of capital have been invested in various industrial enterprises. Mexico, In Hot, has awakened to useful activity, and tho era of daily revolution seems to be past. The last notable railway project uuuur (xjuHirucuon is a line irum Uio Mexican Pacific, which is projected from Tonola, on the Pacific, to Front era, on the Qmf of Mexico, into Gaati mala, and southward to the Nicaragua Canal. This road will form a long link in tho rail connection to bo be tween the North and South American continents, so that it will be possible to go in the same car ere long from St. Paul to Valparaiso, Chili, or Uio Janeiro, Brazil. Mexioo itself, rapidly developing, oucht to bo sunnlied en tirely by the United Stales with the goods needed. There is convenient railway and steamboat communication now. Ihe country is exceedingly rich in natural wealth, which tho Spanish appropriation of several centuries merely scratched. Yet trade is re stricted. The opportunity of securing reciprocal trade relations was lost by tho refusal of the Senate to ratify the treaty, uecently the Mexican uov- eminent levied a heavy tax on Ameri can cattle in retaliation for the action of our government against the impor tation ot Mexican ores. Tariff wars are very injurious wars.. They pro voke animosity. -They kill the Reese which lay the golden eggs. There is a puerility about them which ill becomes dignified and civilized nations. Tho absurdity of tariff retaliation is seen in the fact that the drouth in North ern Mexico has played the mischief with the cattle and the peoplo are com pelled to have American cattle and Say the high duty. The whole of fexico is naturally tributary to this country, commercially speaking. As much so as the territory wo acquired by tho annexation of Texas and the war with Mexico. That was a vast acquisition, embracing Texas, Now Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado and Indian Territory, something over 800,000 square miles, which cost us only $15, 000,000, beside about 3,500,000 debts due from the Mexican Government to American citizens. This great pur chase, an empire in itself, from the time of its acquisition, has kept step with the progress of tho Union, while old Mexico, from whioh it was severed is just awakening, under American in ftaeoce, to an appreciation of tho possi bilities awaiting her. Tho county Commissioners of Lnzer ne county have decided to pay over to the court the 1,000 reward offered for tho arrest of the murderers of McClnre and Faunigan: Tho court will probab ly divide the reward among the four applicants.

"At the great gathering in Athens this comiog fortnight there will bo at least one family which will conceal doep sadness under the conventional smiles. I am assured on exceptional authority that the I'rinco of Wales has been warned by his physicians that he has Urighl's disease incurably fattened upon him, buu mai me extension ot his trip to Egypt, which was not originally in tended, was at tho same time recom mended by theso advisets as a diversion which might assist to keep his mind from dangerous gloom. "It is believed that tho Princess and tho rest of tho royal lamily have been in formed m to the state of the Prince.s health. There teems to lie no ground for immediate apprehensions, bat ray informant says the chances are felt to bo against his living through next year The Queen has been thrown into grave despondenoy by the tidings, and is living a mote secluded lift than ever. "For the moment, however, Victor ia's bodily health is better than that tor aomo years previous, and tbcro has been no recent recurrence of those strange fits cf obstinate passion which periodically seized h-r after the Prince Consort's death, and which two or three years ago made her intimates seriously despair of her reason. She is devoting more time to slate affairs and to routine work than customary, and gives her evenings now almost entirely to lit tuning to solemn music "Her Majesty's mind is severely free from illusion; about the intellectual abilities of her grandson and her event ual heir, Albert Vicor, and there is a curious fctory afloat in semiCourt circles that sho is opposed to his marrying at ail, bat desires that the royal line be carried forward through his brother George. What value this rumor has I know not, but it is certain that the entire royal family is deeply disturbed over the whole question of tho success ion. Both of tho Prince's sons are to be raised to the peerage as dukes, ptobably as York and Kent, daring the Winter, and in the comments which will then be passed there will doubtless appear the first general recognition of the fact that the"Prince of Wales him self expects never to sit on tho English throne. A Hew West Branch Eoate- The Pennsylvania Railroad engin eers are still at work surveying a route between Williams port and Mont uomery along the line of the Wtst Branch Canal. It is intimated that this portion of the canal will be aband oned, it hav ing been left in a dilapi dated condit ion by the great flood of June 1. No movements towards putting the waterway in repair has yet been made, and tho impression is, that the Penn sylvania Company will construct on its site a branch railway leading to Will iamsport. This will give them a con tinuous line on the left bank of the river, thereby avoidijg the necessity of crossing tno river twicn in a dist ance of sixteen miles. This would be a great advantago and in ca;e of a flood like the recent one, the loss of the bridge would not interrupt communi cation. Tho surveyors bavo gone over the ground carefully, but the railroad offi cials are reticent. It is understood, however, on the best authority that intention is as slated above and that tbo branch line will be constructed at an early day. I CUlien 8a you think of locating hero? Piytfctan Yea.

The value of such a work depends on its thoroughness. Unreliable statistics are in one tenso worse than nono at all for they are misleading. These facta appeal especially to farmers. Now is the time to prepare for the coming of tho census taker. Every man who cultivates an acre of wheat or corn or seta out a tobacco plant ought to keep an accurate account of tho results of his labor. Everything pertaining to the farm should bo scrupulously written down whether it pertains to crop, atook wages or prices. That will simplify matters when the census-laker comes along and insure accuracy besides. We believe there are some who have an idea there is a disagreeable relation ship between the census man and the assessor, but this is a mistake. It is especially desirous that we eh uld havo an accurate enumeration of all our crops in this country; not a mere guess but the bottom lacts themtelvts. This can only be had if every individual farmer gn to work on his own hook and carefully put down all the facts so far as they relate to himself and his own farm. Sooner or later he will have to make answers to cettain questions. Why not prepare himself in advance. and thus save the anoyance that will inevitably result from imperfect know ledge later on! It is only a simple tiling, and every man can attend to it. Let every farmer, therefore, aopply himself with a sheet of paper or a memorandum book, on which he can jot down tho required information. The famous Brooklyn Tabernaol e It-v. T. Dewitt Talraarre's cburcb, was distroyed by 6re on Sunday morning. The flames were discovered at 2,30 o, clock by a policeman. Several adjoin ing houses were also burned. This church was bnilt in 1873, and cost $175,000. The organ which was ono of the largest and best in the world, cost $35,000. This is the second time the church has been burned. There was an insurance of $129,450. Dr. Talraase intended soon to make a visit to the Holy Lmd but has postponed his trip. President Eliot of Harvard College has nlready exprcucd his intention to become a democrat. What a Comfort I NoDiri! NoFuss! Ho Back Ache!
