IN addition to the facts shown by the Coroner's Jury relating to the murdered Baker family, MT. John B. Allen informs us that Mrs. Baker had a certificate show ing that up to her departure for Arizona, she was member in good standing of the Methodist Episcopal Church at New Lon don, Iowa. Mir. Baker served in the Union army during the rebellion, and every fact we know of his life, was highly creditable to him as man and a citizen. Had his life been spared short time longer, he would have removed to farm in the Gila settlements. He formerly drove stage from this place to Blue Water, and sev- eral times was attacked and slightly shot by the Apaches, and finally he quit to be- come victim of nearly as bad public en- emies-the Sonora bandits.

\ Very Coed Size Fish Story.


The Doylestown pa Democrat
gets oTthe following fisAstory, which,
if true, will remove many a doubt
from the skeptical miad as to the adj
ventures recorded of Jonah: .a
Up the river, in town called Eas-
ton, two of its inventive citizens are
training surgeons to a novel use.
They cause q couple of the fish to
draw q small boat, in harness, and at
taoh them also to two imitation swans
which float above than and prevent
their diving. The boat is shaped
like a shell. The mode of Harvesting
the surgeons is peculiar. A broad
India rubber band, encircling each
fish behind the peGtoral fin, has a
brass ring attached On top. Through
these rings "a stout aslleu pole, about
eight feet long is inserted, and to two
staples in the pole the traces are fas-
tened. There is also q Sum-elastic
band around each sturgeon, just be-
hind the dOrsal fin, with loop In the
side holding the opposite ends OF a
much lighter pole, 70 compel them to
swim at a regular distance from each
other. PhiiIippi, who acts a. driver,
has his seat in the bow, and directs
their course with a goad, which is a
long pole, and "a thick as ones wrist
with 4 sharp spike sticking outat right
angles from the.end, and IL is surpris-
lug with what aiRcTity they obey.
When they are 20 Ge turned to the
right or lcli, sudden prick on the
Opposite side OF each sturgeon causes
tie pair 10 take the desired course;
when a greater speed is desired they

FoLIowING the lead of Mr.. GREE
LEY Of the Tribune, the Springfield
ReUyJiicu,, the most influential Re-
publican paper in New England, files
the following terrific indictment
against the carpel-baggers. It sur
passes the larcsst denUnciations Of
anything .hat has emanated in a
Southern newspaper, and presents a
picture, in all respects, true to life:
They are doing more harm to the
country today than the locust or cat
erpillar, or any other kindred pest.
They are teaching the less Intelligent
and discriminating SOutheIners TO
despise and hate the Northern people
more heartily than ever; they are de-
I bauching the freedmen; they aye bring
| ing disgrace upon the great Bepubii-
can party and upon the National
| Government. That their rapacity is
| Unsuitable, and that they steal every
penny they can lay their hands on,
are comparatively trivial counts IN
! the indictment against them. Yet
this constant plundering is very
| serious matter to the communities
which are plundered. 1t means in.
| creased indebtedness and heavier tax
alton. 1t is lust such ras1al,,y that j;
making the name of Republican 8
stencil ia the Southern States, and
bringing suspicion and eRmity upon
/ honest immigrants. And matters will
not mend much SO long as needy and
! greedy adventures are appointed 70
! responsible Federal offices, and fellow
SHIPPED by Northern Republicans on
! the floor Of Congress"

The heather Chinese government
has recently issued orders which will
very materially interfere with the OPP
erations Of the Christian missionaries in
that county. it is asserted that the
popular dissal lslaGlICn at tie presence
of the foreign clergy has become deep
and outspoken, and that this influence,
exeraise.i through tho Mandarins upon
the Government, has fcsuit6I ia Inc
withdrawal Of tine concessions TO tho
Missionaries. The new regulations pro-
vide that hereafter all missions shall be
under the supervision of Chinese Off
Gals; that rot less than fOrty-iive native
converts shall be received III any mis-
sionary establishment, and that full
record OF every baptism shalt be return
ed to the public registration office. It IS
also directed chat all female mission
aries must return u tulit CGa gEuH-
tries. and that all male missionaries not
residing in consular ports shall be I'M
der the jurisdiction of the local Manda-
rims. Chinese women are prohibited
from ATTENDING Christian worship, and

United to attend the mission school

tio,l OF thg property Of the missionaries,

A Railroad Blessing.

An experiment of interest to all
travellers has recently been tried on
one of the English railroads. This ex-
pertinent consists in the introduction
of what is known as the "lunch basket
system,n devised by well known
firm of public caterers, for the accom-
mediation of the travelling public who
have no opportunity to obtain refresh
ments on long journeys. The con-
tractors furnish baskets of an easily
portable and compact size and form,
well stocked with material for cO0-
Portable luncheOn-that is to say, hall
a fowl, ham, bread and butter, cheese,
salad, a pint of claret or other light
beverage, plates, knives and forks,
glasses and napkins-the price being
three shillings. The baskets, which
are made for the purpose are provided
with every necessity and convenience,
and inside the lid is affixed printed
card requesting that, as no deposit Is
required no charge made for the use OF
the conveniences in the basket, all the
articles will be replaced in their proper
positions, and the basket delivered up
at the end of the journey. American
railroad managers would do well to fol-
low this excellent example. Lunch
baskets furnished with the materials
for a comfortable meal will be accept
ed as a most agreeable substitute for
the saloon System" which Is salts
factory to nobody but the conscience
less proprietors.

The Crops.

The July report Of the Department
of Agriculture, shows very markell
increase in the acreage of corn,
amounting to fully three million acres,
of which two millions are in the South,
presenting the very gratifying fact
that the people of the Southern States
have had the wisdom and good sense
to reduce the cultivation of cotton in
order to grow food and raise stock.
The area planted in corn, it is esti-
mated, amounts to forty-two millions
OF acres, or more than fifty per cent.
of the total acreage of all the TILED
crops. The Pacific States, the New
England States and New York, have
failed to increase the area planted in
corn. The other States have increas-
ed the area in corn as follows: Kan
sas, fifty per cent; Nebraska, thirty;
Arkansas, twenty-four; Iowa, Louis
lana and Texas, fifteen per cent. each;
Mississippi, fourteen; South Carolina,
twelve; Alabama, and Minnesota,
eleven per cent. each, and Georgia
and Missouri ten per cent. each. The
remaining States have smaller per
centages of increase, Pennsylvania
being credited with only one rer cent.
The winter wheat, on July LIST, it is
stated, was somewhat above its aver
age condition, having ripened fully
a week earlier than usual, and large
proportion having been cut at the
date Uf tn --~i.-..la- Tho TPIvInIse
of the crop in the early spring
it is stated, was never better, and
the prevalence of insects and local
injuries from drought, it is reported
have been the principal drawbacks
The New England States, Virgins
and all the more Southern States ex.
eept Texas, show comparatively
low condition of the winter wheat crop
while Kentucky presents an average
of thirty-five per cent. deterioration
California seventeen, and Indians
seven per cent. The majority of thu
winter wheat States, it is said, repor
comparatively poor condition of tht
crop. The spring wheat, it is stated
presents worse appearance than ha
been reported for years, the chincl
bug having been very destructive
The report states, that after allowing
for increase in acreage, and the larg
yield of winter wheat districts, tn
loss in the spring variety will reduc
the aggregate wheat crop, below al
average. The hay crop it is report
ed, will he comparatively small
Potatoes promise an average yield,
they escape the rot and the drought il
the future.
