However, bills were printed announc­ing an exhibition contest between M. Roche, of Anderson, and Mr. Reakes, to take place in the ball room of the Mon­itor House on the evening that Mr. Converse was to have been here. I t was also announced that Mr. Reakes would wrestle any person present at'-the time. For some reason, Mr. Rocha did not wrestle, but his brother Bich-ard took his place in a match of catch-as-catch-can with the Michigan won­der, best two out of three /alls. Al­though Roche lost both faljs, be proved himaelt to be a good w i t t i e r . W. H. Jacobey was then caUed upon to meet Reakes in a colar and elbow contest, best two out of three falls. Both falls were awarded to Mr. Reakes, but with a little practice Jacobey would be a scientific wrestler, A« there were no others present willing to wrestle Mr. Reakes, the entertainment was eluded at 10 o'clock.

Joseph (T. Hutchison. Joseph G. Hutchison, who is the

republican nominee for governor of Iowa, was born Sept. 11th, 1840, on his father's farm near Watson town, Northumberland county, Pa. He served in the One Hundred and Thir ty-first Pennsylvania volunteer infantry. He fought in the battles of Antietaru, Fredericksburg arid ChanceUorsville, and left the military service as a cap­tain. On his return to civil life he became a lawyer at Ottumwa, Iowa. About six years ago he became presi­dent of the Ottumwa national bank, which position he resigned last fall. Mr. Hutchison has long been int imate­ly connected with Iowa politics, having first been elected representat ive of the eighteenth general assembly and ' then state senator.

Johu L. Sullivan i* tired of the slugging business, and announces that he will ""try to secure the nominauon for congress in one of the Boston dis­tricts. The Hon. (?) J. L. S. says that in the pursuit of this worthy object ho hopes to bo able to put aside less worthy ambitions. It is possible that a term in congress would have a very salutary offect upon Sulli­van's manners and morals, but if he cannot be reformed without sending him to congress, it were bolter to serve out his sentence in a Mississippi pen. Congress already has enough to answer for, without being held re­sponsible for failure to instill a little manliness-iato-thebig-brute,

The working people of Canada passed strong resolutions in their con­vention at Toronto condemning the policy of the dominion and provincial governments in grant ing subsidies of any kind to railroads, steamships or any other corporation. This is but the mutter ing that heralds the ap­proach of the storm. With lnvish largesses, Canada has created a num­ber of powerful monopolies, working hand in glove with the party in power, and corrupt ing the political morals of the country. A great debt has been piled up in con­sequence, and obligations have been assumed which are sapping the life blood of the people.

.New York is more European than American. Its g rea t newspapers a re in the main edited from Europern re­sorts. J ames Cordon Bennett of the Herald has resided in Europe for 15 years, and only makes an occasional visit to the United States. Joseph Pulitzer of the H orld also finds more congenial surroundings in Europe,and his sojourn there is indefinite. The editor of the Tribune is in France on a four years ' mission, and Albert Pulit­zer of the Morning Journa l controls the editorial policy of tha t paper from across the Atlantic. It is not s trange, that with such surroundings, these jour­nals should be more European than American.

The number of railroad accidents during the summer months has been unusually large and the causes seem to have been as numerous as the acci­dents themselves. A largo propor­tion have been caused by negligence, result ing from sleepiness after many hours of continuous duty. Precautions and safeguards avail but little when unduo economy in labor is practiced. There should be Etringent laws to pre­vent t rainmen working over time, ex­cept in t imes of extraordinary emer­gency.

FARM AND HOME. Unprofitable Fsrtn Stock.

No farmer would thfnkof conducting ordinary farm operations with no bet ter implements than could be had forty or fifty years ago. The s t rong competi­tion to which farmers everywhere are subjected obliges them to use tho best implements that can be purchased. Expensive harvesting machinery, often used only a few days in a year, is un­hesitatingly bought under this necessi­ty of getting the crop secured a t least coat per acre. Whatever saves labor must bo had, no matter what the cost may be.

Has there been a corresponding im­provement in the average farm stock of tho country, as compared with that of agricultural implements? In somo respects there has boon, and its appre­ciation by farmers generally is now what is most needed to make farm­ing a profitable busi ness. Take for il­lustration the dairy business, in which improvement of cows for milk and but­ter production has been greater than the improvement in any other furm stock. How large a proportion of tho ordinary class of farmers keep better cows than did their fathers and grand­fathers? When only native stock was kept, there were even then some fairly good cows, capable of yielding 300 pounds or more of butter per year. It used to bo a matter of prido among good fai'inoi's to get the best. To be sure, tho best did not cost so very much more than the ave rage Until stock breeding and importing was made a business by itself, the superior value of the best cows over poor or ordinary animals was never half appreciated as it should be. Farmers talk about the fancy prices for blooded and registered stock. Sometimes prices may be run up to fancy rates, but in the great majority of instances the seemingly high prices are based only on careful computation of what the cow and her progeny can do.

Keeping the best stook Ought to be really considered a labor-saving policy. There seems to be such a craze for anything that will save labor tha t this view may cause many to look more kindly on it. What is the use of caring for and feeding two cows for the milk and butter that one should give, ov double tho stock of any kind thut is needed? Only in the very rudest and most barbarous agricultural age are men reckoned rich by the number of the stock they possess. T!u days of ranching and huge herds, cheaply kept, are in this country happily near­ly over. Henceforth quality r a the r than numbers will be the test of value.

In most of the Eastern and Middle States only the very best stock will pay its way. Farmers in these sections feel keerrry- tittn r~ need—of - more—bamy a-rd manure. As they havo not much money, they load themselves with stock at low priced, and therefore necessarily of so poor quality that it does not pay its way through the year. Few farmers can afford to keep such stock. None can afford to keep much of it. The more a farmer has of stock that costs more in keeping than it brings to him, the worse his financial condition grows. As the farmer be­comes discouraged he loses his ambition. Convinced that "farming don't pay," he does not try to do as well as he might with his present facilities. The largo amounts of poor dairy butter brought to market every year have this origin.

Of course keeping better stock will require considerable capital. Sell pa r t of the land and use it in that way. With cows that yield double or more the t»ilk or butter of the average cow, twice as many men can be engaged in dairying on the same amount of land. This means concentration, and not only greater present profit, but also a rise in the value of land. Improved har­vesting machinery, enabling one man to do the work of eight or ten, tempt jd to increasing the size of farms, with a ruinous increase in area sown to grain beyond the power of the farmer to prop­erly manure and cultivate.

In every aspect it can bo looked at, the substitution of profitable for un­profitable stock seeme the pressing necessity of American farmers. It is only by keeping the best stock that a farmer can afford to keep enough to re­store lost soil fertility. When ho gets the best stock he can buy feed to sup­plement that grown on the farm, and yet get the manure pile free of cost. As long as he keeps only poor farm stock, the home-made manure may very possibly be, and often is, much dearer than the most costly commer­cial fertilizers.—American Cultivator.

Cutting up Corn. Which is the better plan of doing

this depends considerably upon cir­cumstances. If cut and properly car­ed for it makes a very good feed, but it is often fco case that through im­proper management tho quality falls considerably short of this, to say tho

le.iet To wait until the,corn is well matured, and the lower blades all dried up, and then cut t ing and set up in small shocks, so tha t a good portion of the fodder will bo exposed to the ele­ments until it is needed for feeding, will give a feed of a very poor quality. If fodder is to remain out in the field, the better plan of managing is to cut low, so tha t in standing up the better par t of the foliage will be well protected, a t l e i s t from wet, and set up in large shocks, so that there will be as small an amount as possible exposed to the sun, rain, wind and snow.

As ordinarily managed with western farmers, there is a very large amount of waste with the fodder. A failure at the start to cut at the right stagd in order to secure the largest amount of nutriment and then to store so that the fodder is preserved in a good condition or to feed out in such a way as to les­son the waste .

If the fodder is put in small shocks and then shucked out after s tanding a month or six weeks, and then is shuck­ed out and ei ther left lying down or is again set up there is an increased loss; then if it is hauled out and scattered in the road or upon a hisjh, dry place, so that whatevertmanuri.il value might bo secured is lost, and the fodder is wasted to a more or less extent by the stock tramping over it. Tho value de­rived from the fodder is very small, so much so tha t considering tho actual amount of benefit derived it is question­able whether it can by any means be called a che <p food.

It is true that tho majority of west­ern farmers, especially, are not pro­vided with sufficient storage room to put all the fodder under sheltez-. Yet it may be stored so that it will keep in much better condition than to leave it in the field.

Fodder can bo stacked up convenient to the feeding lots or stables, be fed out in racks or mangers, avoiding a large per cent, of the waste in this way, and then if care is taken in the management to save all the manure, a sufficient amount of this can be secured to pay well for the work of feeding out.

The farmer who is feeding any con­siderable number of stock with fodder will nearly always find it profitable to cut the fodder before feeding: the less waste an.l the easier handling of the manure will make the investment profitable.

Good fodder fed properly makes a good feed, and if properly managed is a cheep food, but like other materials if the most benefit is derived good care must lie taken to have as good a quality as possible, and in proportion as a fail­ure is made to secure this the full value of the fodder as a feed is lost. — Practical Farmer.

, After observations among hundreds of silos, and hearing the testimony of the owners, John Gould concludes that there is no necessity of ever husking corn to be fed upon the farm, when tho silo, with its later ideas of filling, pre­serves the gra in so perfectly and gives such satisfactory results.

Bones may bo reduced by first pound­ing them and moistening the mass. Gradually ndd sulphuric acid, stirring while so doing1, and the bones will be dissolved. The proportions are 40 pounds suphuric acid to 100 pounds of bones.

An open well will soon be the resort of toads at this season, and if covered the-work of so doing cannot be done too carefully. The curbing of the well should be laid in cement, and extend two feet above the top of the ground, upon which heavy boards should be fastened if a pump is used.

As a rule while clover springs up on land that has been well dressed with wood ashes, and though it affords ex­cellent pasturage it is a very persist­ent weed if it is allowed to grow where it is not wanted. Cutting it off only causes it to grow moro vigorously. I t should be pulled up by hand from among the rows of vegetables.

The time for corn planting varies with tho latitude, and also depends much upon the weather. When tho days are mild and tho ground warm is a safe rule, wherever that may be, in all localities. Three conditions are essential to the production of a paying crop of corn, namely, good seed, a rich friabJ' oil and thorough tillage.

large ' -tfrieties are selected for this pucjt. <c. As these can readily bo ob­tained in any number dosired, proceed with them as directed for common plain pickle of any sort, sprinkling them with salt and covering with boil­ing water three days in succession, having previously cut nearly across them near the stem. Remove tho seeds

and fill with a stuffing prepared as for mangoes, and sew together in the s imo manner. Pour cold vinegar over them.

P I C K L E D PEAKS.—Pare and halve t he fruit; to seven pounds of fruit take three pounds of sugar, one quar t of vinesrar, one ounce of whole cloves and one ounee of stick cinnamon. Put all together and boil slowly a short time, being careful that the fruit does not become soft and break in pieces. I t should be taken from the tire as soon as the fruit is cooked through. Th is recipe can bo used for peaches, apples, and any kind of fruit of which sweet pickle is made.

MKLON' MAVGOES.—Select those which are about half grown cut from the vine, leaving a little stem. As but one or two can usually bo found of the right size at one picking, it js best to mako a brine strong enough to bear up an e^g, and into this put the melons as picked, first cutting a lengthwise slit in the side of each. When a sufficient number have been gathered, tako the melons from the brine, re­move the seeds carefully and fill witli stuffing made of chopped cabbage, green pepper and onion, a few cucum­bers not more than an inch long, small str ing beans, a few red berr ies , nastur­tium seeds, grated horse radish, mus­tard seed, celery seed and a few whole cloves and cracked allspice. To enough filling for six mangoes add one teaspoonful of sugar. Having prepar­ed the filling and thoroughly mixed the mgrodieuts, stuff the mangoes and sew up tho opening with a neeedle and coarse thread. Lay them in a ja r and pour over them good strong vinegar, and lay a weight on to keep them under vineger.

The Swarming of Bees. "Do bees select their homo before

swarming?1 ' is a question tha t is of at least somo importance to the whole bee-keeping fraternity. The loss of a great many swarms is vested hero. I do not know whether all swarms send nut spies or not, but even inasmuch ns one swarm does, we will take it for granted that all that swarm under a normal—eetnli-tioH--will—de—tlte-samer though, in my opinion, they do not all succeed before swarming.

For live successive years I placed in a certain oak tree a box or nail keg, and every year except one there came a swarm into those kegs and boxes, As I was plowing corn or making hay e.ich season near this tree, I could seo quite easily just about what was going on during nearly all tho swarming sea­son. At first I would seo perhaps one bee, after that the number would in­crease, and one not posted would bo very apt to think that there was a swarm in the keg. They would usually protect and clean this keg from one to three days before they would take full possession; at other times they would com i in great num­bers, and in due season disappear, in which case they had been captured, or found more suitable quarters.

Placed a keg in each of two t rees forty rods apart, and the same swarm will hunt through both of them, and mako their choice. I do not think that there were any chemical changes tak­ing place in these kegs, as Mr. Dern-aree mentions, on pag.i 4')fi of the Bee Journal for 1888. Nature does not in­tend to send the busy bee wandering from place to place, just happening to come across a hollow tree or log. Let any who doubts this do as I have done, and they will be sooner or later con­vinced.

Swarms that hwa chosen n now home close by are very apt, when swarming, to rise high up in tho air , and go quickly, never stopping to cluster, as they havo a s tr ing or t rai l of bees all the way from tho hivo, or swarm, to the new homo; tho loss the distance, tho moro bees on the trail , or the thicker they fly; thus the far ther away, tho better are tho chances for them to cluster, for those bees flying back and forth have quite an influence on tho swarm. It was such cases as these thnt so strangely induced me to adopt tho method of clipping all my queens' wing.-j; for there is no one thing pertaining to boe-kooping that puts me more out of pationee than to have a portion of my swarms leave mo; for in so doing, there goes tho profit. —Cor.

MONTENEGRIN MARRIAGES.

f h » Union of Prlnoe Nicholas's* Daughters with Russian R o y a l ­ty. A few days ago the second d a u g h t e r

of the prince of Montenegro was mar­ried to a Russian prince, a cousin Alexander i l l . , and at the same t the engagement was announced of younger stster, the Princess Annsk to Prince George Maximillaoovitch of Leuchtenberg, another cousin of the czar. I t ia evidently, says the Buffalo-Courier, the intention of tho Russian emperor to sooure to tho family of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, who-has seven daughters and two sons, t h e full recognition as ono of the European dynasties which up to a recent t ime was denied to them. In this way "*** doubtless means to reward Montene for her fidelity to tho Russian aliia which presents a marked contrast to the att i tude of Sorvia, Koumania, and Bulgaria toward the power which liber­ated thorn from Turkish rule.

Prince George of Louchtouoorg is a widower some 30 years old. On his mother 's side be is a gr ndson of Czar Nicholas I., while his paternal grand­father was Eugene Boauhurnau, s tep­son of Napoleon I. and viceroy of Italy. Eugene was formally adoptod as a son by Nnpoioon without a r ight of succes­sion to the French crown and m rried a Bavarian princess. After thy em­peror 's downfall he was marie duke of Leuchtenberg and prince of Eichstaedt by his father-in-law, the King of Bava­ria. His family retained its semi-royal rank. One of f^ti^ daughtors be­came queen Of Sweden, another empress of Brazil, and his eldest son married the then reigning queen of Portugal . His second son, who suc­ceeded to tho position of chief of the family, marr ied tho Grand Duchess Maria Nicolajevna, daughter of Nicho­las I. of Russia, and as a consequence of this union the family adopted the-creed of tho Greek church. When Louis Napoleon, whoso mother, Queen Hortenso, was a sistor of Eugene Beau-harnais , assumed tho imperial title in 1852 he intended to restore his uncle's descendauts to tho rank which Napo­leon I. had conferred upon his step-son. But Nicholas i. was opposed to such a connection.of his grandchildren with tho "ups ta r t " dynasty of the Bona-partes. To prevent it tho czar gave to all the members of thoLeuchtonborg family the title and stylo of Prince and Princess Romnnowski and " imper ia l < highneis, '1 together with a rank next to that of tho members of the Russian imperial house. In this way the scheme of Napoleon III. was thwarted. This was ono of the acts of Nicholas which tho French emperor bitterly re­sented, and it doubtless had much to do with tho desire for revenge which

he was able-to-g ratify in—the. Crimejin_. war. Tho Leuchtenbergs are now a Russian family of semi-royal rank. They have large possessions in Russia and Germany, and their French origin seems to bo nothing to them but a memory. Tho present head of the family is the Duke Nicholas Maximil-ianovitch, an elder brother of Pr ince George. Tho latter has a son by his deceased wife, and upon his line the titles and estates of tho family will u l t i ­mately devolve.

The Innocent Lamb. About tho first error tho iamb makes

in life is to mistake the shepherd or his dog for its mother, and many are the maneuvers that muse be gone through with to mako the now arr ival follow the right party. His next er ror is likely to be an at tempt to walk on air when he conies to a placo where he should go-down hill. His ten minutes ' experience in life has made him be­lieve tha t all tho earth is a level pi.an, and in broad daylight he steps off the top landing of tho stair9 in tot il dark­ness when he is certain tha t tho stairs are yet twenty feet away. The result is a groat surprise to man and lamb in each instance.

The lamb picks himself up, and coa^v^j tinues down the hill; he soon comes the conclusion that everything is down hill in this life, and not on the dead level. Upon gett ing to the foot of tho hill, he still tries to continue down­ward, and as a result runs hia noso in­to the ground and looks surprised again. He now comes to a placo to get up hill, and goes up just as our man starts up stairs in total darkness when ho thinks the stairs are twenty feet away.

Thore is only one thing that is SQfc times as funny and provoking by tusgtip& as a lamb, and that is 500 lambs to4;»; gether when they aro about a month old. The shepherd sit* down and watches tho 500 lambs all in a bunch by themselves, playing, running and frolicking, and ho laucrhs. When he has tried, and tried in vain, to get the same 500 across a bridge, or in a cor­ral he sits down again, b u t ho does not laugh thjs time.—Montana Woo! Grower.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, SEPTKMB£B 17, 1889.

The business of loaning money to government clerks at usurious rates of interests has flourished since the last election, lenders being reasonably cer­tain that Republican clerks, and nine tenths of the employees no matter by -whom appointed claim to be of the same political faith as the reigning ad­ministration, will be retained in office for at least four years. The sharks seem to spring from the ground. Some have cozy offices in fashionable build­ings, two have even banking establish­ments and these carry their offices about in their ancient and infirm silk hats. One of the banking establish­ments, run solnly as a buy lock affair, pays its depositors one per cent per month, which is however not surpris­ing when one is informed that the in­stitution loans out its money in amounts of $50 or $100 at two or rive per cent per month. Some of the smaller Shylocks receive as high as twenty per cent per month. Many of them are department clerks themselves and by loaning to the chief clerk or the chief of their divisions secure im­munity from punishment and are even able to dictate terms to their unfortu­nate debtors.

The other day a Treasury clerk, after having refused to pay further even the principal of a note for $1(J0, upon which he had paid §240 interest in two years, was boldly reported to the auditor under whom he works, for failure to pay his debts. Strange to say, while no law exists to compel pay­ment, this auditor insisted upon the immediate payment of the entire prin­cipal and the last months interest, under pain of dismissal. 1 have since learned that the usurer is a brother-in-law of the auditor and my surprise ceases.

Secretary Teller, whose treatabil i ty and broad character has never received a sufficient need of praise, understood these money lenders as they are. lie thoroughly detested them and during his administration they fought shy of the .interior department. One man "who was employed in the Patent Of­fice and who had loaned money at ten per cent per month to fellow clerks for so many years that he had come to be worth about 125,000, reported a mes­senger in the office for owing him $25 and failing to pay it promptly. The Secretary ; sent for both men. The messenger, a shiftless, weak follow, with a large family and a small salary, had no defence to offer, Hi? accuser was eloquent and in conclusion called attention to the fact that he was a poor old cripple, whom it was a sin to cheat and who needed every cent he could get. Secretary Teller listened to him*smilingly and courteously and only when the shark was through, did his .hot temper burst forth.

"What," said he, "you reason to me that because you ard a criple you must needs be a vampire. Out upon you, you scavenger. Consider yourself dis­charged this day as a warning to the scurvy race of tricksters to which you belong."

"As for you," he continued, turning to the borrower, "return to your desk and brace up. Be a man. Be fair-handed with the world and take care of the family the Lord, in his infinite wisdom, has seen fit to give you, with a confideace in you that time has cer­tainly shown to be ill placed."

The cabinet meeting of Saturday de-oided one think and that is that the President will call no extra session of Congress. The President has told numerous members of Congress that an extra session would probably be called to open about October 20, or November 1, but by some patent argu­ment he left the matter to the cabinet and an adverse dicision was reached. Secretaries Windom and Tracy are said to have most vigorously opposed the call. The exact political effect is hard to foretell as it relates to the fall elections. The lethargy into which most people fall as regard^ Congress­ional matters during the year follow­ing a presidential election, may per­haps preclude interest in the matter.

The Speakership contest may be af­fected by the failure to cull an extra session. The Western candidates \vi:l loop upon the failure as favorable to their chances, while Mr. II 'od, of Maine, will undoubtedly lie weakened by a more prolonged fight, as the strongest candidate isalways kille^d off first by the combined efforts of the small fry. As Air. McKiniey of Ohio opposed the call it is supposed that he is especially overjoyed. The truth is that an early-extra session would kill Mr. Mclvin-ley's chances, as it would be impossible to get the western members here until the middle of November, when the con­test would be a thing of the past and Reed elected.

The announcement of .John L. Sul­livan that he will run for Congress is the amusing topic of this morning's conversation everywhere. It is an ex­hibition of arrogant self sufficiency that claims a passing notice. That he could be elected is impossible. Even Mayor O'Brien/ of Boston, attributes his defeat fur re-election to the fact

ANN ARBOR. From toe Courier.

Mrs. Israel Hall has offered the re­gents ten acre* of land, without money or without price, to be used for the erection of the new hospital bnildings. The land given is situated east of the fair grounds and south of the residence of Eugene B. Hall on Hill-st. Mrs. Hall also agrees to open up two more streets leading to this tract there being two streets already leading thereto, so that it can be made a very desirable location. It really looks as if the state of Michigan was very fortunate. There are now two locations of val­uable land offered without price. There are certainly 6ome very generous people in our city.

Yesterday Judge Babbitt heard the petition of Emory Snell, of Whitmore Lake, to commit his father Richard Snell, a man about 70 years of age, to the Pontiac asylum, on the grounds of alleged insanity, and denied the peti­tion. There were some twenty wit­nesses examined, besides the expert testimony of Dr. Smith of Whitmore, and Drs. Breakey and Knapp, of this city. The testimony drew out a feel­ing of unfriendliness in the family over money matters, and other things that convinced the judge that the old gen­tleman, though perhaps a little pecul­iar in somethings was not a subject for the asylum. He is an old man, infirm in body, but with sufficient money to take care of himself with if proper use is made of it.

Last week, James Ellis, for many years a citizen of this place, became mentally deranged, and has since grown worse. Friends are undecided as yet what to do for his restoration.

The T. A. A. & N. M. Ry company have purchased the Durand branch to Saginaw. The Ashleys expect to have under their control 360 miles of track between Toledo and Lake Michigan before Jan. 1st next.

The marriage of Fred Houser, of this place, and Miss Etta Weatherakr, of Pontiac, (formerly of this place,) took place at the trideV parents at~12, noon, yesterday. After finishing up his contracts here, Fred and bride will make their home in Pontiac with her parents. Fred has always exhibited good taste for home decorations and his selection of so amiable a domestic com­panion proves an eye to business. The Excelsior congratulates.

Kfte ta of Michigan's Rallromt L»vr. The Chicago Times of recent date says:

I t seems tbut the effect of the new Michi­gan railroad law will be to reduce passen­ger rates not only in that state, but be­tween Chicago and New York. The Michigan Central railro d is not subject to the provisions of the law, owing to the pro­visions prescribed in its charter , but it compells the Chicago & Grand Trunk to re­duce its rates to the basis of two cents a mile in the state of Michigan. This causes a redaction of $1 in the rate from Chicago to Port Huron, and consequently a similar reduction in the established ra te to New York. Of course the Michigan Central will find it necessary to meet this rate, al­though not forced to do so by the law. Tho other e;ibt-bound lines will find it to their interest to fellow suit and the result is a general reduetiou in the through rates to the seaboard. The Michigan Jaw becomes operative October 1, after which time the first-class fare from Chicago to New York will be $3^.25 instead of $£.'.25, as at present.

w u the

Important Kstilroart Deal. Rome time ago the Farmers ' loan and

t rus t company of Now York, began sui t and had a receiver appointed by the United States court in Detroit for the Michigan portion of the St. Louis, Sturgis & liattlo Creek railway, and the Battle Creek ^: Bay City railway. Sept. 10 Henry Camp­bell, United States master in chancery, sold the two roads to Henry A. Gardner of Chicago; the St. L., S. & B. C. for $V.O,-000 and the B. C. <& B. C. for $130,000. Mr. Gardner represents the Chicago syndicate that recently bought that portion of the St. L., S. 4& B. C. outside the state of Michi­gan. H is the intention of the purchasers to compete tho road in this state from Bat tie Creek to Bay City, there being now an uncompleted gap in the center, and thus make a through line to St. Louis, with a Detroit air line connection. Judge Brown has approved the sale.

Muni lily Crop Keport. "£v ^' The September returns from 021 corres­

pondents, representing 510 townships show that wheat thrashed in tho central counties is an average yield per ocro of 16.17 bushels. In tho northern counties it is 12.»4, and in the southern it is 10.22. These averages make no allowance for shrunken or otherwise damaged grain, which forms a large percentage of the crop. Tho quality is no better than re­ported last month.

Oats average iW.'.it bushels in the south­ern sec: ion, H5.50 bushels in the central and ~4.h0 bushels iu the northern. The drought and cool nights have been disas trous to com and potatoes, the latter of which will not yield more than three-quar ters of an average crop.

DEAD IN A MINE.

Eleven Miners Drowned 800 Feet Under Ground.

The victims were at work in a drift from the bottom of the shaft at a depth ol 780 feet, and were 800 feet from the Bhaft Tbe other morning there was some 50 feet of water in this shaft. Tho water finally burs t through the shaft and Hooded the drif t in which the men were a t work. It will require weeks of hard work before even their bodies can be reached. The work of pumping out tbe mine was com­menced a t once. The widows and orphans of tbe entombed men were gathered around the mouth of the shaft, alternately cryinf and praying for their loved ones, and the scene was indeed pitiful.

Resignation of the Commissoner of Pensions.-Harrison

Accepts it-

Old Ocean on m R a m p s c a The greatest tide ever experienced s t ruck

Coney Island, ou the Atlantic coast, about six o'clock ou the morningof September )0. and the high tide aud heavy surf played sad havoc. Every strip of bnach ou the island was completely covered. Wator poured in volumes underneath tbe*Muubat-tan hotel. The great waves dashed against the music stand and it went down in a few hours. Tho concrete walk in t rout of tbe big building wua undermined and torn away, uud every breaker carried tons upon tons of water beneath the building.

The litUe strip of lund between Brighton-aud Mt uhattan was eaten away, and tbe ocean and Shcepsbead bay aro connected by tully five feet of water, extending to Sheep.-ihead. TheManbat tan and Oriental hotels stand by themselveson a little island that is fast being eaten up. The mammoth bathing pavilion belonging to Manhattan beach was beaten down by the thundering waves. The old murine railway s t ructure was carried away, and was taken with an awful crash over the new marine railway, fully three hundred feet inland, carrying the lat ter away bodily, and overturning and smashing cars like kindling wood. The old lirightou beach bathing pavilion fol­lowed it with a deafening crash, and the driftwood was carried with lightning ra­pidity and herculean force against the new b.ith house, carrying part of that away. The Brighton beach hotel was Rurrounded by over two feet of water, which extended as far as Stieepshead bay. Ful ly 100 feet of the lawn iu front of tbe hotel was eaten away. The Brighton beach railroad was submerged. Tbe angry waves dashed against Soidl's music st nd, each wave tearing away great chunks of it at every burst . The little cbildreu'ssociety cottage near tbe music stand was carried away. Waves broke under the elevated road sta­tion and it was ruined.

Brighton Beach was nearly all under water, and was separated from R e a m s ' hotel by five feet of water. The Brighton beach race course was two feet feet deep with water, aud the surf reached Boder 's hotel, which was considered by the propri etor us being too far bucK from the sea.

The two little houses on the concourse in Prospect park were sunk in ten feet of water and dashed to pieces. The entire concourse was inundated, und the concrete pavement torn up. The n v i u road by tbe concourse was submerged, and nearly every street within 5,000 feet of the beach formerly was Hooded. The flooring of both the old iron pier aud Doyle's iron pier was torn up bodily. No such time has been ex­perienced in the history of the island.

Tho wind was blowing a hurricane off shore. As the morning advanced, the hur-ricauo increased to a cyclone. Following the first great tidal wave, the gigantic swells came swinging and rolling in in rapid succession.

The dauingo by storm along the water front in New York was great. Along South street and West s treet nearly all the collars were flooded and goods destroyed. Vessels report tieavy weather and seas all along the coast. The landing stage at L'astlo Garden was almost submerged, a s tate of affairs never known before. The lowerend of Hl.,okweU'B island was sub merged, and the keepers were compelled to remove the patients from the frame build­ings in that portion of the island. The new railroad tracks at Auvergne by-the se* were entirely under water, and the bridge to vSl. Lawronco was washed away.

Tho usually high tide at Jersey City rose far above some of the docks located be­tween tho Pennsylvania railroad and the Delaware, Lackawanna 1¾ Western. On Pavonia avenue, tho thoroughfare leading from the ferry, the water was two feet deep, and extended beyond the Erin's train sh«d. The wator was over tho wheels of the horee ears and tho passengers were landed by means of temporary bridges. T h e entire Erie freight yard was entirely Bub merged and thousands of barrels of ilour are reported damaged.

It is surmised that the murderer carried off the bead and legs in a bag. The murder la the worst of the whole series of Whitechapel butcheries. The manner in which the limbs bad been severed from the body shows tha t the mur­derer was possessed of some surgical skill. The woman was 30 years old. Her cloth­ing was shabby and she was evidently a spirit drinker.

Au Awful Disaster. A torrible explosion of dynamite occur red

S e p t 7 in a cartridge fao;ory in the viclul-ty of the bourse in Antwerp. The factory was also situated behind the docks upon which millions of cartr idges were being loaded. It was adjacent to tbe petrolemtu stores aud two large Kusaiun petro.'^ WM rehouses were set on fire.

The explosion occurred in a wor _ where old cartridges were being takfft pieces. Men and women were a c t i v e * __ work breuktug them up, and ^6,000,000 hud been partly broken. , , j

Abut tive hundred persons were injured. The loss will be many million francs. I t was impossible to extinguish the tiames for several days. Owing to the intense heat the firemen aro unable to approach the fiumesnourer than 100yards. •

The explosion occurred iu t h e C o r v i l l m cartr idge factory. The estabis l imont had been condemned by the commuual council, but the deputation permaneute had allowed work to continue. The victims ure moaUjr factory gfcls. Wiudows throe miles t an t wero shattered by the explosion.

Scores were taken to the hospitals ing the night. Some were suffocated the smoke, and others were shot tbrou_ aud through by Hying pro'ectilos or maimed by falling debris. The density of tbe smoke arising from tbe oil aud saturated with it, rendered breathing in it impossible, and the s t rongestmeu wereovercome by it within a short distance of safety.

One hundred and ten thousand barrels of crude pairoleum, mostly Kussiau, which is the nustieth on earth, were burned. Two thous-nd tons of cartridges exploded at once. The explosion shook the whole city, and the sound of it w^s heard over an area of '60 miles.

Limbs and fragments of bodies were found at incredible distances. Severul heaps of charred human remains have been collected. None of the tragmeu.s cau bo identified. Many persons, cut eff from the city and pursued by the llames, jumped into the water and were drowned by dozens, or burned to death by the b.azing oil tha t poured down upon the surface of the river. Bullets riew around like hail stones and those who sought to escape througli the streets were shot downau their tracks.

The fullest estimate of the killing, liOO, is in all likelihood justified. Tho city water works, wi th their vast and elaborate ma­chinery, are partially destroyed, and what is left is BO badly damaged as to i>e useless. This cuts off the water supply of a consid­erable portion of the city, and much dis­t ress und Bickness are expected as a conse­quence. No audi cul imity, meeting all the elements of horror, has been known since the d jys of Alva.

It appears that as a measure of precau­tion a large proportiou or the forty millions of cartridges in the Corvilain factory hud been buried in the ground. After the ex­plosion the men employed iu the petroleum warehouses close ut hand turnod on tho t. ps of the reservoirs contau ing millions of gallons of the liquid. Plowing along tho trenches the petroleum reached tho powder manufactory and penetrated to where the 'car t r idyes were buriod. The tire spread to these ci.rtndues, and frequent iind loud reports were heard us ihe pack­ages of cartridges exploded from time to time, lidding to the panic of the populat on.

With regard to the question of responsi­bility various reports are circulating. The town council has issued a proclamation throwing all tho responsibility upon tho provincial council. It is probable tbat law­suits will spring out of the affair.

CLAUDE D A M N ' S MILLION. Queen's Gate looked a little askance at

Mr. Ponsonby Walker, though he occupied one of the biggeat houses there and dispens­ed lavish hospitality. He was a* tall, stout, red-faced, elderly gentleman, with a familiar

er and a Jovial laugh, addicted to spot-hite waistcoats, loud patterned trou-and patent-leather boots. He was hearty and gonial with every one, and

the reputation of being able and willing to make fortunes in the city for any of his friends who chose to seek his advice and assistance. But, though his wife wore dia­monds, and he kept up a considerable estab­lishment, there was a vague feeling of dis­trust regarding his alleged wealth. Busi­ness men shook their heads at the mention of his name, and hinted that, though he de­scribed himself as a financier, ho dealt with other people's money rather than his own, 4KP WAS chiofly engaged in the mysterious Spttipation of promoting public companies. ; : B|ese rumors, however, did not prevent (Jlt^Peirtkmby Walkers from having a large ctrole of friends and acquaintances, who assisted at their social functions and re­turned their hospitality by similar enter­tainments. In fact, tho Ponsonby Walkers wire rather fa*hionablo people, and it was, sorhapa, envy as much as anything else which cuused some of their neighbors to speuk disparagingly of them. The prevail­ing impression among honest, unsophisti­cated folk was that Mr. Ponsonby Walker was a personage In the city of scarcely less importance and standing than u Hothscuild or a Baring; and no one was more deeply imbued with this Idea than young Claude Darnien. But three and t wenty is a credu­lous age, and a passionate admiration for a man's daughter is apt to shed a golden halo around tho young lady's parents. Claude Darnien would never have thought of sus­pecting Mrs. Ponsonby Walter of being dull and commonplace, nor did ho ever doubt that Mr. Ponsonby Walker was a merchant prince of almost untold weal th. Under these circumstances it is not surpris­ing that the young gentlemen fe'.t serious misgivings on the subject of his attachment to Mr. Ponsonby Walker's only daughter Miriam, for be guessed Instinctively that the financier would discourage his preten­sions.

But Miriam Walker was an impulsive, warm-heaned girl, and having lured Claude Darnien to his fute by receiving his atten­tions with marked favor, she scoffed at tho idea that his poverty was an insurmounta­ble bar to their union. She fervently vowed that, whatever her father's decision might be, she would always regard Claude as her affianced husband, and prevailed upon the young man to demand the parental cons en t and benediction. Shu succeeded in almost •persuading him that Mr. Ponsonby Walker bel6nged to the benevolent order of fathers who are disposed to overlook such trifling drawbacks as absence of income and ex­pectations in a daughter's suitor. Claude Darnien could not quite bring himself to re­gard Mr. Ponsonby Walker in that amiable and fatuous light, but rendered desperate by the state of his affections, tie screwed up his courage and called upon Miriam's father one day at his office in this city.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Damicnf" inquired the financier, in a patronizing, con­descending tono, as Claude entered with his heart thumping against his ribs liko a bat­tering-ram.

"You do not recognize mo, sir;" said Claude, nervously observing that Mr. Pon­sonby Walker read his name from his card with a hesitation which showed that it was unfamiliar. "I had tho pleasure of being introduced to you once at the nouse of a mu­tual friend, Maj. Stanhope."

"Ah, to be sure. You're a son of the late Gen. Damion. I remember perfectly," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, encouragingly.

"Can 1 have a few minutes' private con­versation with you sir!" murmured tho young man.

"v\ell, I am very much overwhelmed with business just now. I have an import­ant meeting of the board of the Grand El­dorado Diamond Mining Company at 3 o'clock," said Mr. Ponsonby Walkor, with importance. "Wo are proceeding to allot­ment, Mr. Darnien," he added, significantly.

"Oh, indeed!" observed Claude. "Yes, a splendid property, Mr. Damlen; a

splendid property," said Mr. Ponsonby Walkor, rubbing his hands. "As a friend of Maj. Stanhope's, I advise you to apply at once for some shares—"

"No—no, thank you," interposed Claudo, with an ominous sinking at his heart. "The fact is, I have called to ask your per­mission to become engaged to your daughter Miriam."

"To my daughter Miriam—to Miss Pon­sonby Walker I" oxclaimed tho financier, staring at the young man with undis,guisod amazement. "Have you spoken to her on the subject!"

"Yes; last night, at Mrs. Anstruther's ball," said Claude eagerly.

"Really, this is very serious," said Mr. »onby Walker, solemnly. "I have heard

hMng of it. Will you have the goodness, — lien, tc state your position and pros-

1 blushing hotly. "Indeed, he has never answered the letter which I wrote to him some months ago when my father died."

"Upon my word, this is absolutely pre­posterous!" exclaimed Mr. Ponsonby Walker, bounding from his ehiar and glaring at bis unfortunate vbi tor from the center of the hearth rug- "Do you serious­ly suppose for an Instant, Mr. Darnien, that I can consent to your engaging yoursel' to —ahem—Miss Ponsonby Walker!"

"I love your daughter, sir. very deeply, and am doing my best w seek employ meat I hoped, perhaps, that you might consent conditionally upon my

"Pshaw! Mr. Damlen, you are wasting my time* and your own," interposed Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with an angry gesture. "Understand, please once for all, that I forb>d you to speak to my daughter again. Your conduct, sir, Is impertinent—nothing less than, impertinent. In fact, 1—I—Mr. Darnien, oblige me by leaving the room this instant."

•riaude Damlen realized, with pain-H|r*6ree, the utter hopelessness—not to say temerity—of his mission, as ho proceeded, in faltering accents to describe his unfor­tunate circumstances, and it is hardly sur­prising that the brief statement caused Mr. l'onsonby Walkor to grow crimson with Indignation.

"Do you mean to toll me Mr. Darnien, that you have no means, no occupation, and no expectation whatever!" exclaimod the financier, falling back in his chair and

ling at ' him with contemptuous lent. "No relatives, even or

whom you can look for assist-

% s

live an uncle—my poor mother's broth-ring in America. I have beard that he

is rich and a bachelor," said Claudo from sheer desperation.

"Well! and what is his name! and what will ho do for you?" inquired Mr. Ponsonby Walkor, a little more encourag­ingly.

•'His name is William Harness. He emigrated many years ago, and I beliove he lives at Princess Town, Kansas county. But I have no right to expect that ho will do anything for me," added poor Claude,

CLAX'PE DAMISS DASHBD OFF HIS BlGN'ATtTTB. But Claude Darnien had something else to

think of besides love-making and respond­ing to congratulatory epis ties, In tho first place, it was necessary to take steps to ob­tain possession of his property, and for this purpose h3 placed himself in the hands of a firm of solicitors, recomended by Mr. Pon­sonby Walker. Unfortunately, Mr. Blot­ting wrote in reply to telegraphic inquiries that the testator's estate consisted almost entirely of land and houses, which could not bo conveted into money until after the us­ual interval. This was a disappointment to Claude, for ho longed to taste the sweets of his inheritance, and moreover, he bad been applied to for the purchase money of his shares in the Grand El Dorado Diamond Mining Company. Having no means of meeting this demand, he had no alternative but to seek the advice and assistance of Mr. Ponsonby Walker. *

"What a ridiculous situation," exclaimed the financier, with a hearty laugh, as ho slapp»?d his future son-in-law on the back. "Imagine an impecunious millionaire!"

"It's awkward all the same," said Claude, laughing also.

"Pooh! There need be no difficulty," responded Mr. Ponsonby Walker. "I'll write you a check. Stay, though!" he added, thoughtfully. "I think, on consid­eration, that 1 had better not. One can't bo too careful in these matters, and remarks might bo made if it should transpire that the money came from me."

\5r. Ponsonby Walker winked confidenti­ally as he spoke, and looked so knowingly at the young man that the latter, without tho least understanding him, felt impressed by the wiadom of tho financier's remark.

"I suppose noV acquiesced Claude, doubtfully; ' 'but where shall I get the money from?"

"Y/oucan borrow it from your solicitor, or—well, perhaps it is well to be independ­ent, and you can afford the luxury—why not got it from Benlevi P said Mr. Ponsonby Walker.

"By all means. But who is Benlevi?" in­quired Claude.

"Benlevi, of Burlington street," replied Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with another sagacious wink. "A money lender, but hon­est as they go. He will make you pay for tho accomodation, but what will that matter to you!"

So Claude, nothing loath, paid a visit to Mr. Benlevi, who received him very civilly, having evidently read all about him in the newspapers. From this worthy the young man obtained, on somewhat startling terms, a sum of money which enabled him to tako up his shares and left something over. Be­ing thus in funds, Claude Damlen did not scruple to launch out a little by taking an i expensive set of chambers and furnishing . them luxuriously. He found no difficulty '•• In obtaining credit from tradespeople, and i having once set the ball rolling, he soon : raised a very considerable crop of debts, j and began to live in a mariner worthy of | his enviable circumstances. j ' At the instance of his future father-in-

law, who represented that he ought not to J neglect his own interests, Claude Damlen ' attended one or two meetings of the direct- j ors of the Grand El Dorado Diaajfnd Min- I ing Company, though the proceedings, and j indeed the company itself, rather bored i him. It was gratifying, however, to the young man to learn that his connection with the company had had a very good effect, nnd that its shares were being eagerly ap­plied for, especially as he understood that I in some mysterious way the success of thV] company was an excellent thing for Miri- j am's father. Claude was a little puzzled at this, because Mr. Ponsonby Walker's name did not appear on tho prospectus oi tho company nor among the list of shareholders. But the young man asked no questions, be­ing completely absorbed with the raptures of love-making and the delights of luxuri­ous living, and as Mr. Ponsonby Walker soon ceased to trouble him any more about the company, Claudo was perfectly content not to refer to it.

It was, perhaps, fortunate for the young man's peace of mind, that he shirked tho Directors' meetings, and never road tho financial columns of the newspapers, for he thus remained in happy ignorance of ugly rumors which began to be circulated about tho now venture He did, indeed, hear something of an unfavorable report which had come to hand concerning the company's mines, and which had causod a panic and a

great outcry among the share holders. Still this gave him but little uneasiness.

Early one morning, however, a few day* after these rumors first came tQ his ears, Claude Damlen found bis sitting room occupied by a araunt-lcoking, elderly gentle­man, who was seated in his beat-easy chair, tranquilly smoking a cigar and read­ing the newspaper. Claude stared in amazement at the stranger, whose shriv­eled features seemed oddly familiar, though he was not conscious of ever seeing him before. His unceremonious visitor stared at him in return with an amused, half-contemptuous expression which ex­cited the young man's wrathful indigna­tion.

"Who are you, sir? and what are you do-in? hero?" demauded Claudo angrily.

"I'm a corpse'" taid the old gentleman with a sardonic grin.

"A what!" exclaimed Claude, starting. "I used to t e your mother's brother Will­

iam, and consequently your uncle, young man," said the stranger, with a decided American twang. "But it seems, on this Side, I'm only a testator. When I heard the news over yonder, there seemed to me to be something kinder wrong about it, so I've come over to make Inquiries."

"Good neavensl" gasped Claude, turning pale. "If—if what you say is true, I have been duped. But Mr. Silas Blotting, of Princess Town "

"There is no such person," interposed the old gentleman, calmly.

"What does it mean, then?" cried Claude, wildly. "I have had letters from him. He told me that my uncle, W illiam Barnes, of Princess Town, was dead."

Mr. Ponsonby Walker was purple in the face with furious indignation, and he even made a stop toward Claude as though he meditated violence. The young man had sense enouph to perceive that to attempt to prolong the interview would probably lead to a regrettable scene, and he therefore pru dently withdrew, feeling more deeply humil-nted and crestfallen than he had ever done in his life.

The truth was that Claude Darnien was thoroughly ashamed of himself, for he was an honest lad, and b3 painfully realized that he had acted the part of an impudent ad­venturer. It was, no doubt, the height of presumption on his part, contdderir.g that he was absolutely penniless and friendless, to aspire to marry the daughter of a rich man. To do him justice, nothing had been further from his mind than to profit by the circumstance of the girl he loved being an heiress. He was just at that romantic age when to make a fortune seems only a ques­tion of giving the mind to it; and he had vaguely determined that he would set to work with that laudable object without a moment's delay. Mr. Ponsonby Walker's indignation, however, had opened his eyes to the unpleasant fact that his conduct was worse than thoughtless, and he was so re­morseful and contrite that he immediately wrote a heart-broken and penitent letter to Miriam Walker, releasing her from her en­gagement.

But Miss Ponsonby Walker was evident­ly a young lady of considerable spirit and force of character, for she absolutely re­fused to give up her lover, and declared that she was ready to wuit for him for a thousand years. Sho hinted that sho did not despair of overcoming her father's opposition, and peremptorily commanded Claude to meet her at the house of a mutual friend to which they had both been invited. The young man had neither the strength of mind nor, indeed tho inclination to resist tho opportunity of renewing his protesta­tions of ardent devotion, and the conse­quence was that, much against his con­science, Claude Darnien continued to carry on his clandestine courtship. In extenua­tion of the conduct of these imprudent young people, it may be urged that Mrs. Ponsonby Walker was hardly less to blame than they, for Miriam's mother, who was a stout lady of an easy-going phlegmatic dis­position, must either have been intention­ally blind or extremely stupid. At all events she never interferred, though Claude Darnien contrived to obtain invitations to several entertainments to which the Pon­sonby Walkers were bidden, and, as the financier rarely accompanied his wife and daughter into society, the young man found no obstacle to his love-making.

Meanwhile Claude made strenuous efforts to obtain employment, but unfortunately without success. His friends were chiefly retired half-pay brother officers of his late father, who had no Influence whatever in the commercial world, and the lad possessed no accomplishments or resources of any kind which he could turn to account Luck­ily for himself, his temperament was sanguine, and he found Miriam's sweet en­couragement a sufficient antidote against the demoralizing influence of perpetual dis­appointment In this manner a month or six weeks passed, and the only result ef this lapse of time was that Claude Damlen became more infatuated than ever. He was even oeglnning to feel a little depressed in moments of solitude when one day he was startled by receiving a formidable looking letter, addressed in an unknown hand and bearing an American stamp. The sight of it caused the young man an anxious thrill of expectation, for he immediately conclud­ed that It was a reply from his maternal uncle, to whom he had written mauy months previously. Wrhen, with a trembling hand, he broke the seal, the following communica­tion met his astonished gaze:

":>37 BLOCK A, Pnr*CKss Towy, KANSAS COUNTY.—SIR: I beg to acquaint you that, by the will of your late uncie, Mr. William Barnes, of this city (copy of which I in­close), you are entitled, as residuary legatee, to the whole of his property, estimated at about 15,000,000. The testator died on tho 'Jlst of last month. Awaiting tho honor of your instructions, I am, sir. yours obedient­ly,

SH-AS G. BLOTTING, Barrister, etc. "To Mr. Claude Darnien. The young man fairly gasped for breath

as ho read this amazing intelligence, and for several minutes he stared blankly at the letter, unable to realize that be was actually a millionaire. But as ho grew calm­er, and proceeded to road the will of the de­ceased relative, ho grasped the situation sufficiently to jump into a cab and drive straight to the office of Mr. Ponsonby Walker.

Miriam's father reooived him with scant courtesy, but when he announced bis good fortune and produced the letter of Mr. Silas

Blotting, and the copy of his uncle's will; the financier's manner changed completely.

"My dear Damlen," exclaimod Mr. Pon­sonby Walker, in an almost awe-stricken voice, **this is glorious news I I congratu­late you."

"I love yoor daughter, sir," murmured the young man tremulously.

"A million sterling!" ejaculated Mr. Pon­sonby Walker, rising excitedly in his chair.

"It belongs to MirJ^m," cried Claude with emotion.

"My dear Claude, your constancy is touch­ing," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, quite overcome. "God bless you, my boy!" "Thank you, sir," said Claude, wringing the hand of his future father-in law.

"Claude, my boy, regardless of your for­tune, it would be better that you should have some employment As a start, there­fore, I would suggest that you ahold join tne board of tha Grand El Dorado Diamond Mining Company," cried Mr. Ponsonby Walker, with sudden eagerness.

"Certainly, sir," said the young man, promptly.

"May I put you down for a hundred shares?" inquired Mr. Ponsonby Walker, in a business-like tone.

"I'll take a thousand," replied Claude, with a new and delightful sense of reckless­ness.

"No, no, you musn't put all your eggs in one basket. The Grand El Dorado, how­ever, will be a Bpiendid thing, a splendid thing. But a hundred shares will be enough," said Mr. Ponsonby Walker, rap­idly fillinc up a printed form. "There my boy, sign that and you will discover that I have given you a princely wedding g i f t"

Claude Darnien dashad off bis signature in a lordly manner, and then started off in a state of delirious happiness to claim his affianced bride. Then came a period of de­licious excitement, during which the young man was scarcely consious of his own iden­tity. His sudden elevation from poverty to extreme wealth almost turned his head.

Not only was he received with affection­ate defference into the bosom of the Pon­sonby Walker family, but he was over­whelmed with congratulations and polite at­tentions from every one. The fame of his good luck spread abroad like wildfire, and before a week had elapsed every newspaper in England published paragraphs alluding to the event, and also mentioning the happy circumstance of his engagement Mr. Pon­sonby Walker expressed great annoyance and indignation at the introduction of his daughter's name into public prints, but Claude could not help fancying that his father in-law elect was not so dUpleased as he affected to be.

"There is no such man as William Barne3, of Princess Town either, I guess," said the old gentleman with another grin. "I'm lo­cated at Chicago, and left Princess Town a dozen years ago. Have you any doubt that I'm your unole, young man, and that I'm alive still?"

Claude looked earnastly at tho face before him, bu t in truth, his scrutiny was unnec­essary. Already the conviction had been borne upon him that he was speaking to his mother's brother, for the family likeness was unmistakable.

"Seem.* to me, nephew, that you've em­barked on a pretty big swindle," said his uncle, with a significant glance round the well-appointed room.

"I am ruined, dishonored!" exclaimed Claude, overwhelmed with shame as he thought of his debts and the difficulty of his position. "What will Mr. Ponsonby Walker—what will Miriam think? I am innocent of any swindle, Uncle William," he added, with fierce energy.

"Say, bow did it all happen, then?" in­quired his uncle in a more friendly tone.

Claude Darnien, feeling that he was on his defense, pulled himself together, and gave a tolerably lucid and coherent account of the events which have besn narrated. His uncle listened with close attention, and occasionally asked questions, which, if the young man had been less agitated, would have given rise to a suspicion that the pld gentleman bad already made himself ac­quainted with the circumstances.

"Well, nephew, if you ain't a knave you are a fool, which is almost as bad in theso days," said his nnclo when he had finished. "Your Mr. Ponsonby Walker has played you a nice trick."

"Mr. Ponsonby Walker!" exclaimed Claude with a s tar t

"Why, certainly. It was a plan of his to boom his precious company, whoso shares, by tho by, are now worthless. But that don't matter to him. He floated the con­cern, and got his promotion money, you bet," said the old gentleman with quiet con­viction.

"Impossible!" gasped Claude, horrified at the suggestion.

"That is so, and you've got into an awk­ward scrape. The best thing you can do 13 to clear out of it and como along with me," said his uncle, not unkindly. "I've a busi­ness over yonder in Princess Town—a dry goods store. I call myself Wlldams over there because he's in trade and don't want to hurt the family pride," added the old gentleman sarcastically.

"Hang family pride! I'll go with you, uncle, certainly, and, if necessary, sweep out the shop," cried Claude, with heartfelt easnestness. "But what about my debts '"

"Never mind your debts," replied the old gentleman, who seemed pleased at his nephew's evident sincerity. "They arc not your debts; they are Mr. Ponsonby Wal­ker's. He shall see to 'em."

"And—and Miriam!" exclaimed the young > man with a beating hear t

"Miriam! Oh! That is tho girl? You don't suppose that she really cares for you, you young idiot," said his uncle brusquely.

"I'm sure she does. Whatever her father may be, Miriam is true, and—and 1 love her, Uncle William, better than my life, ex­claimed Claude excitedly.

"Well, if that is so," said his uncle, in a quiet, matter-of-fact tone, "as Tve no room for absent minded-iovors in my establish­ment you had better marry her straight away. You think* she would come, eh?"

"Uncle!" ejaculated Claude, completely staggered by the boldness of the proposi­tion. "Why—why, of course she would. But—but, her parents would never consent Mr. Ponsonby Walker "

"Leave him to me," said tho old gentle­man, with a grim smile. "He will be only too anxious to get rid of tho ghost he baa

raised on any terms, yoo bet! I T e got «ri-i dence in my pocket which will make him listen to reason. If yon can persuade t t o girl to come back with as in the Etruria a t the end of the month, Til fix matters with her father and get his blessing—for what it's worth!—into the bargain."

Claude never quite understood now it all occurred, but he not only received Mr. Pon­sonby Walker's blessing, but, what waa more to the point, the hand of his daughter and receipts for all the money he owed.

Dish Cloths vs. Dish Sags. #

" I guess you will find a dish r ag 1A some place about the s ink," was t h e direction the daughter of the house gave to the neighbor who had come t o help in the emergency. W h a t she found was a black, damp rag, wi th t h e peculiar odor of many stale dish waters clinging about i t Fever had a t t acked the different members of this family* and the neighbor wondered if he re w e r e not the clue to iU origin, as she p u t tha t dish rag into the stove and sup­plied its place with a dish cloth. One * of the most difficult things to teach an ordinary servant girl is to tako proper care of the disb cloths. After using they should rinsa them thoroughly in clean water, and perfectly dry them, in the sun in the summer and by the stove in the winter. The ideal dish cloth of the model housewife is clean, soft, white nnd medium sized. Worn table linen is excellent to make into d ish cloths. Take the worn out napk ins , or the moat worn parts from an old table cloth; ten inches square is a good size. Pu t two of these squares toge the r and stitch across three or four times on the machine. Then turn and sti tch the same number of times across the rows already stitched. The whole is now quilted firmly together and with proper care will last a long time. As the various parcels come into t he house, t ake the cotton s t r ing wi th which they are tied, knot together and wind into a ball. It only requires a moment 's work, and in a short t ime a large ball of s trong cotton cord will re­su l t Wi th this cord, using large wooden kni t t ing needles, cast on stitches enough to make a str ip twelve inches long when pulled out; kni t back and forth in gar te r stitch until square . Cast off loosely, and you have a very strong, serviceable dish cloth. Two dishcloths oughtalways to be provided; one for the dishes and another for t h e pans and kettles. For these lat ter a-wire dish cloth is very handy. This can be purchased for a few cents a t a house furnishing store. A vine to shade the porch and the next year 's supply of dish cloths may be -g rowu at the same time by planting a few seeds of luffa or dish rag ground. It is qui te common in the south. The vine with its dark, silvery green leaves is quite pretty. Tho fruit is about two feet long, and it is the tough, elastic, fibrous lining that is used for dish cloths. -American Agriculturalist.

Died a Queer Death.

New York dispatch: In the dea th of William Koch last Friday at his residence, 455 First avenue, from a disease whose rarity is well known, some interest ha3 been aroused among members of the. medical profession. The diseaso was due to the growth in the liver, in the present instance, of a fungus or germ termed actinomycis, a fine, high-colored sandiiko substance, which grows with astonishing rap id­ity, devoloping millions of the ge rms in a short time. The diseaso is ex­tremely rare and is peculiar to cat t le and swine.

Koch began to complain of sorenes3 over the r igh t region of the liver Last February and examination by leading physicians revealed very peculiar sand -like pellets in the pus drained from the wound. These were revealed by t h e microscope to be true aetinomyces and consisted of round, fine, thread- l ike fibers, bulbed at the ends and rad ia t ing from a common center. Several ope­rations were performed, but pyaemia setin, pneumonia followed, and the patient died. An autopsy to-day showed tha t the ravagos of the fungi were astonishing. They appeared to have first attacked the large inter-nure. then to have worked t h r o u g h the gall duct into the liver, and so strongly did they work on this o r g a n tha t its whole left lobe was gangrened and studded with myriads of the fungi. The liver was abnormally enlarged to nine and one-half pounds. It is thought tha t the dead man swallowed the fungi while eating.

Koch was tho son of Andrew Koch, the wealthy weiss-beer brewer. Only four cases of the kind have occurred in the United States in 100 years.
