THE MIDMiEBDRGH POST.
GEO. W. WAOEXSELLER,
Edrtof and Proprietor
MMdlcbiirgh, Pa.. August 1, 13'JS.
Tury say that Japan has tbo best
f ic of any country in tho world",
Ilussia not execpteil.
With a population about hnlf tliat
of this country, Franco is getting
filoiifj toward tho billion-ilulkr inurk
in mi mi nl expenses.
in tho tlonnnn Kmpire (exclnaivo of
Tiitvaria) there wrro last year ten rail
way collisions. Tho number of p-cr-conn
killed was twenty-seven, tho
wouuiUtl 1M.
Tho eleventh sctsion of tho congress
of Americanists in to bo held in tho
City of Mexico froru tho 15th to the
20th of October next. Tho imbjectu
to bo discussed cover a wido area in
tho pre-Columbian history of the in
LabitanU of thin country, especially
of Central America. Tho congress
will bo attended by members from all
parts of tho world.
Tho Miips raptured by tho Japanese
from tho Chinese mnko up quite a ro
"portable and powerful squadron. In
all, norao twenty vessels were taken
namely, ono battleship, two cruiseri
nino gunboats and fight torpedo
boats. The principal eapturo was, of
course, tho Chen Yuen, and (die is, as
wo understand tho term, the only real
ironclad the Japanoso possess.
Tho new women idea docs not seem
to havo reached Arizona yet, and
thero is still eorno advantago thcro in
being of what old-faHhioncd folk call
tho weaker sex, remarks tho New York
8nn. A girl was arrested at Uisbee,
in that Territory, a woek or so ago,
for horso stealing, nud it was a pretty
clear case, but in defcrenco to her sex
he is to bo tried by tho courts in
stead of by Judge Lynch.
Bull fighting seems to bo gaining a
footing in France. Tho killing of
bulls in the arena is nominally pro
hibited, but tho fines inflicted are bo
email that the law is frequently broken,
as at Bordeaux the other day, when
the people, growing weary of soeing
the bulls led off after tho fight, cried
loudly for tho death, on which the
matador despatched the twjremain
,. -' Zu ' .4
. i.'oi).
The New York Sun observes : ".Sui
cide is uncommon among colorod
people, and the suicide of a reputablo
colored citizen of llalifax County,
Virginia, which occurcd lost week, is
noted as a remarkable occurrenco in
Virginia. This man was sixty years
old, and tho catiso of his killing him
telf was believed to bo louesomencss
and despondency because of the re
cent death of his wife and absence
nnd silence of his chi.'dreu."
In tho Government of Kasnn, in
Kustda, no fewer than 11,031 converted
heathen, 5090 of them women, re
lapsed from tho orthodox faith into
their original idolatry bint year. Dur
ing the name period in the hiiiuo dis
trict, 12, 1SS Tartar.-, including 5707
women, gave up tho Greek church for
Mohammedanism, and, according to
the Washington Star, the religious au
thorities believe that the greater part
of the converted orthodox Christians
are at heart either Mohammedans or
Lea' bens'.
Tho elder Salviui, the Italian trage
dian, in his recent book on Amerioa,
ays that ho enjoyed in tho United
States a finer, tuore exhilarating, inoro
oxygenized air, but why he hardly
knows himself. Tho greater conveni
ences of everyday life had something
to do with it. Bo had "the busy peo
ple, lovers of work, and the beautiful
ladies seen by thouande on the street,
dressed elegantly and having a free,
dignified bearing." There was also
the thought that tho Americans had
fonght for and won their independence.
Tho case ot the horso soems to tho
New York Sun mournful enough now,
for tho bicycle has invaded the turf
and captured the turfmen. Tbe pre
siding judge of the Ban Francisco Rac
ing Association took to the whoel a
month or so since, and now practi
cally all the race track olllcials aud
several of the horso owners are cyclo
devotees, whilo a largo and almost
daily increasing number of tho pa
trons of the turf ride to and from tho
track on their wheels. Uue tuau who
owns a stuble of faat trotters aud hai
