It may have boon told alroady, in Amorica, that, on the occasion of a vistt of tho Iate Princo Albert to Liverpool, tho Rev.

For instance, tho Times, aftor rominding us of the display on tho occa~ sion of tho visit of the Bultan, aud of the noble and gouorous recoption accorded to the Khedive of Egypt, who was the guest of s private noble- man, tekes the opportunity of informing the Bhoh that there is “ pomothing rotten in this -Asiatic Btato," meaning the Persian Empire. In somo recondito languago, alluding to * Achmme- ‘man or Bassanion glorios,” the Shah is told that g blight hangs over the country” which ho rules. “Thoro are noroads; the cultivation is swrotchod ; the land is in numberless ploces pres- sug into wildornoss.” ‘Tlio Times is still politely roferring to Persin, and not to Iroland and Scot- land. It doos not allude to tho blight in the po- tato crop of tho one, nor to tho fuct that one may travel for sixty miles in the othor without ‘seeing n human habitation or a human being, *The peoplo [in Persin] are poor.”” 1t may bo 88 woll—retorts snother Journal—not to sond tho Bhah to visit the cot- tagos of Somorsotshiro, or ovon Buckinghamshiro, ponsantry.

The mero fact of o ‘' sabre” being l)ut at the head ‘of the French Govornment oxcitos the suspicion ‘of Prussin,—honce the humbls tone just now adopted, in" which De Broglie aflinns that the now Government folloiss precisely tho foreign policy of tholast one.

If Prussin does not ox- orcigo hor influenco, MacMahon, whon he gots warm in tho saddlo, may make shott work with the Repablic. WHY THE FUNDS WENT UP.

Ouodaya clover and active correspondont, who had been treated in this way, took the bull by tho horns, and prefaced an important telogram by a com- plaint that old subordinates, following tho ways of the Empire, kapt back tolograms—ho was sure without the sanotion of the highest author- jtios.

THE PRO-RATA LAW---A FARMER'S VIEW OF IT. . MrTLeDALE, T, Juno 21, 163, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Bm: In the weekly issus of your paper of ‘June 18, you take what scoms to mo to boan erroncous view of the pro-rats law, The posi- tion is assumod that tho railronds will chargo pro rata for long distances, on through freights, what thoy now charge for local freight. The farmers presume tho opposito. They take tho -position that tho rallrond companics Lavo boon well paid for carrying through freight, or clso thoy wonld not have carried it. Then, instead of incronsing through froight pro rats, ag you assume, they will be required to reduco tho local froight pro rata with the past prico of carrying through freight, That, yon will sce, puts a difforent coloring to the whole matter, You may eay tho railroads witl not reduco their locel rates pro rata with tho through rates of tho past. Then thore will bo a hard fight. Tho farmora do not beliove but what the freight can bo thus reduced, and the railrosd companios stitl bo ablo to pay rensonablo dividonds on bona fide wtock, * Undor euch a'statement of fucts, tho farmers of Jowa and Kunses do want,n pro-rate law. Huch a Jaw would in no. wiko incroaso through freighty, and wonld greatly lessen looal freights. The railrond companios will have hard work to convince a jury that they have been losing on tholr through trausportations in the past, ia s " .- SALOONS ON THE NORTH SIDE.

Ho received the stakes without a word, and wan- derod down tho track, leading his pony by tho bridle. Tho guiloless sovago mado no more propositions, As Lo was threo dollars in, ho soomod to think that furthor proposals should come from tho one who was throo doilars out, Meanwhile, four moro braves and an Indian ‘boy had arrived. * They cluatored . sround the gulleless savage and chattered like magpios, The whitos wero chagrined at their defoat, and woro casting about for anothor chargor. Just ot this moment a qung follow heppened to come along mounted on an old runuer, known throughout tho torritory as tho Oraig horso, The animal was well blooded, hind a cloan rocord, ond could chuck o milo over its back in guick timo.
