gustus would furnish the amount and marry, she
made the bestowal of her hand-one-half cash

The DIRECTORS OF THE GREAT EASTERN Coming TO
THEIR SENsEs.-We are glad to announce that the
persons in charge of the big ship have seen the
folly of their attempt to carry out the high price
system for visitors, and have reduced the tariff one
halt-that is, fifty cents for adult visitors, and
quarter for the little folks. They have also ap-
pointed Mr.. II. C. Jarrett clever entrepreneur
to take charge of the visiting department of the
ship, and arrange excursions to her from all the
principal cities and towns throughout the country
1t Is also stated that in the course of the month the
Great Eastern will make an excursion to some point
on the sea-board-we suggest Cape May-returning
on the next day after her departure-Ne,0 York

CHINESE FRE-CRACKERs.--T editor of the
Providence Journal thus discourseh on the Chinese
frecrackers:
GAS for the Chinese cracker, it is internal ma
chine-and it should be prohibited BY laws and
undo" penalties. 1t frightens nervous women-it
scares horses usually sedate and sober-it cracks
the cart puts out the eye-it suff0cates the nos
tril-t strangles the throat-it is a nuisance to
human nature without one redeeming quality
If we cannot have black tea, or pongees. or Dor.
celain jars, or Chyloong's ginger. without that
internal machine, that accursed torpedo, that
devilish cracker-we are ready to give them all up
and live without these Injuries for the sake of rest
and quiet.
The HARvEsr-The Chicago Press, of the 9th
inst, states that: "From all parts of this State
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, we continue to
| receive most favorable accounts of the crops
especially corn, wheat, OATS and barley. In the
central part of Illinois the corn is high enough tC
cover the horses while blowing, and the spring
wheat in many places is already beaded out. Win
ter wheat is being harvested and from the accounts
| received there Is no doubt whatever about the
yield being light, although the quality is good
The farmers having their crops all secured in the
ground, have made free deliveries of grain, espe
cially corn, the receipts of which, at this point
during the week amount to 704, 900 bushels-tht
| heaviest of the season.

| CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA.-A letter is published il
the New York Post, detailing the horrors of a civi
war now raging in Syria. The Druses aided b.
Turks, Moslems, Arabs and others have simultane
ously attacked and massacred the native Chris
tians. Their villages have been burned, and ever,
violence that barbarism could invent has been Wis
tied upon them. 1t appears that the war is til
result of long and violent luminosity, and tina
unless interrupted it will be one of determination
to one party or the other.
