the law says shall not fog this man. but saw /
will; he has refused duty at the wheel" The iop
ging was with knotted thread and some ratlin
stuff, and lasted twenty minutes. 1t was inflicted
by three different hands, the Captain also striking
a few blows, occasionally, to show the others how
to strike hard: Towards the last, Chadwick cried

THE CROPs.-lt is stated good authority, o
the Western corn crop, that the quality of the corn
this year will be far superior to last years, but in
quantity there is large deficiency compared
with average crops. Ohio will not yield in bushels
produced last year Indiana one-half Illinois and
Iowa three-fourths. Kentucky and Tennessee will
furnish full crops. The grain in quality, however,

and potatoes a full average Very little damage
by FROST and less complaints of potato disease than
Jersey, the greater part of New York and the
Southern part of Connecticut, is in general very
light. In Eastern New ork, above the Highlands,
and in New England, there is abundant crop. A
little farther South, the blossoms were mostly Dc
sroycd by severe frost. Where.the crop is most
abundant the buds were not sufficiently developed
to be seriously injured,

victon, opponents are unceasing and untlrlng
in their endeavors, to bring to the polls every fol-
lower of the Democracy to vote upon the State
ticket regardless of what may be his action upon
the local tickets. And it may well be doubted,
whether the pending split in the Democratic ranks,
not got up for the express purpose of incrGas-
ing the vote upon the GubernatOrial ticket. But
be this as it may-whether this split was the work
of accident or desgn-it admits of no doubt what

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT OVERLAND
MAIL FROM CALIFORNIA.
coNGRATU1AToRY MESSAGE OF THE president

1t is in the highest degree gratifying to be able
to announce the arrival at ST. Louis, Yesterday of
the overland mail from San Francisco, in twenty
three days and four hours. This wonderful achieve
ment of the contractors and the Post Office Depart
ment foreshadows early and complete consolida-
tion of all continental interests. The most re-
markable feature of this interesting news is to be
found in the fact, that the quickest express viii ch
has crossed the continent heretofore, occupied som
thing more than twice the time employed by Mr..
Butter field and his associates in conveying the mail
in four-horse stage coaches, which has just arrived
at st. Louis. The teegraphic despatch of Mr.. But
terfeld, of the Overland Mail Company to the
President and the significant reply OF the latter is
the very best commentary which can be made upon
this truly wonderful achievement:

MAnAGASCAR

This large and important, but comparatively
unknown island, is likely to become prominent
theme of discussion between the English and
French governments. The island was discovered
in 1906 by the Portuguese but energetic attempt
at colonization made until the middle OF the
18th century, when the French established one or
two settlements there. In l745 they extended their
plans of colonization, and asserted considerable
influence over the natives until 1914, when the En-
glish began to claim the right to exercise authority
on the somewhat incomprehenslole ground that
Madagascar, with its four mllllons OF lnnaoltants,
was Il dependency of the little island OF Maurltlus,
which had lust been ceded by France to England
number of English settlements were established,
with the friendly cooperation OF the natives
King Radama, a very remarkable and Intelligent
ruler who, though not sole monarch OF the island,
almost entirely controlled it, made an arrangement
with the English by which Il number of his subjects
were sent to England and Mauritius, and educated,
for the purpose of introducing the arts of education
among his people. The effect of this was to attract
numbers of missionaries to the island, and in 1926,
two years before his death, Radama had the salts
faction of seeing some five thousand Madagasse
children taught in the missionary schools. The
French have ever since 1914 proclaimed the indie
pendence Of Madagascar, and have constantly en-
deavored to augment their strength in that vicni-
ty, to prevent, if possible, the prevalence OF British
power. At present there is much talk OF both
French and English projected expeditions thither
with view on the part OF each to secure the com
mercal interests of the island which is believed to
be extremely fertile, and capable of producing a
great variety of gran and is also known to possess
considerable mineral wealth.
The French have Just made the small island OF 81.
Marie on the eastern coast of Madagascar, one OF
their naval stations Their other possessions in the
neighborhood the islands OF Keunlon l3O leagues
from Madagascar, of NosSI-3 Mayotte, NOssl-
Cumba Nossi-Fale, and surrounding isets, in the
Mozambique Channel These islands are all re-
markable for their fertility, anchorage, and excel
lent position for the development of the French CO.

THRILLING ScENE.-Mr. c. J. Thomas, of Niagara
Falls was crossing alone in a small boat from Navy
Island to Schlosser, last Thursday when the terrific
storm arose, and the boat was capsized. For
upward Of an hour he was driven about by the
furious gusts of wind. clnging to the boat Sever
al times he succeeded in rghting the craft, and as
often would it capsize; and though good swimmer
he had given himself up for lost, when he at length
succeeded in clambering into the boat; without
oars, and so thoroughly chilled to be almost
unable to help himself. The boat was filled with
water, and was driven past the head of Navy Island
into the rapid current which swiftly bore him
towards the rapids and the cataract But, fortu-
nately, he was seen by Mr.. Tompkins, and another
man on the island, who, taking boat, hastened to
rescue him. They reached him, but the wind and
sea high that it was impossible to take him
into their boat so they towed the boat
into Chippewa creek, on the Canada side. Mr..
Thomas would have certainly gone over the Falls
had he not been thus timely observed and rescued.
His situation during the storm terrible in the
extreme, the rain and seet being apparently car
ried over him in sheets. His own pluck and endu-
rance remarkable under the circumstances
