anything sillier than when he declared that Scotland by her union had lost her nationality I The indications are that there will be a revival in the iron trade of the country this fall Mills which have been closed up all summer are preparing to open up This is a good sign By the way good signs are becoming be-coming quite plentiful The Swatara will leave New Orleans for Washington with her silver cargo about the 8th inst and will be accompanied by the Yantic It is just possible that the filibusterers who put out from Key West I Florida a few days ago ostensibly for Cuba may have designs on these dazzling dollars The strike of the Knights of Labor against the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad Company ended yesterday with a I mutual signing of articles of agreement regulating the rates of wages and guaranteeing guaran-teeing immunity all the striking employes The schedule of wages agreed upon has not I been made public iAn i-An exciting incident occurred at St I Chamas France

re-main out longer The Tennessee is the I only firstrate ship in the navy and has been afloat about twenty years I The old story is current again that Jolm Mackay will buy the New York Herald This time John Russell Young is to be placed in editorial charge Mackay is interested with Bennett in the BennettMackay cable in the construction of which 8000000 are said to have been sunk For Bennetts

anything of the kind An importer of raisins says The Spanish crop of raisins was picked during the past month and is now being shipped None of it has yet arrived here but several cargoes have already been landed in England where they have met with no opposition whatever Do not think there is the slightest danger of choler coming in raisins We are expecting I large quantities of raisins from Spain
