The stockmen of Colorado are jubilant over the prospect for a good market this winter, of cattle on the ranges, marketed this year at good prices. cattle industry has been dull years, There is an immense number be The for some which will “There has been a complete breach,” says London Truth, ‘between the Czar and his ‘only friend,” Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, and to this circumstance attributed the the Russian Court lately may be elaborate fuss which raised about the young King of Servia. Prince Nicholas has been at dt, a most sturdy beggar Petersourg, and he has been con. stantly in receipt of large sums from the Czar. Last year Nicholas $125,000 for the relief of his stricken subjects, and, like Oliver Twist, reeeived famine- the amount was inade juate, and that he had family in his efforts to relieve the dis- nearly beggared himself and his tress, so further supplies were despatched to him. The Czar, to his gust, has recently been informed that infinite dis the astute Nicholas has not only invested large sums 1n Fren securities, but also has bought house property in Paris.” There is nothing new under the sun, exclaims the New York Post. All Eag- land was horrified a week or two ago by the details of the deliberate murder of a wretched little boy by two of his com- panions, each of whom was only eight years old. The young savages killed their victim to get his clothes, throwing him into a pond over and over again, in spite of his and finally holding his head under water un- It now turns out that a crime similar in almost every de. tail was committed at Chester thirty years ago in August, 1861. In this case, as in its modern counterpart, two boys, each eight years old, drowned a smaller companion, after beating him into insen- sibility, for the sole purpose of taking his clothes from him. The young thugs were tried, convicted, and sentenced, first, to one year's imprisonment, and piteous entreaties, til life was extinct. then to five years in a relormatory. What became of them afterwards no one knows, Albert E. Lahl, an Americas physician, formerly a resident of Mexico, does not believe that the present political disturb. ance in that country will amount to much. He is reported as saying of it: “There is a desert space between the Rio and the country which is filled with the discontented element. These people settled there in order that they may readily eicape across the border when necessary, Usually, however, they are without leadership. It is well known that Presi. dent Diaz any day can have twenty or 80 of his generals of the outlying prov- inces at his dioner-table. He keeps them constantly near him to prevent any mischief. But even the worst of the Mexicans would not now join in a revolu. tion. There are two reasons for this. They have had nearly twelve years of good government under Diaz, who fs Bow strong enough to keep order even fn the most turbulent times, Secondly, even the most ignorant realize the im- portance of the foreign capital invested in Mexico, aad know that to ruin this would be to set Mexico back a half cen- tury. Under no circumstances could there at this time be a Mexioan revolu- tion of such moment as the recent one in Chili. Possibly in twenty yoars or so, when this foreign capital fs well es. tablished, there may come & successful revolution with the ides of Possession of the results of these invest. ments. Iam not sure but the Chilian Granade central have revolution was largely caused by the | same desire, ns regards the French, Ger. | man and Eaglish capital invested jo that country.” COTTON STEAMER BURNED.
