Strange Execution.

Ithaca, in the Adriatic has a strange
mode of inflicting the death penalty.
The victim is placed in a wooden box,
With the lid off, and tied down. The
executioner then takes him by the hair,
sticks his knife into his throat as he
would into that of a sheep, and turns it
until death ensues. Then the lid is
nailed on, and the body is dispatched
to be buried.

At DeKalb H., last week, balloon broke
from its fastening before the gronaut had
entered and started upon its upward career.
The rope became entangled around the leg Of
man named McMann, and carried him up
100 feet with his head hanging downwards.
The involuntary aronaut extricated himself
from this horrible position and climbed into
the basket. When at the height OF 400 feet
the terrified man leaped out, and was. of
course, instantly killed. subsequently the
balloon took fire and was consumed.

SHE'D and broke the pole of the buggy. Gen.
Grant, to save himself, leaped from the
vehicle, and not moment too soon, for he
had scarcely touched the ground when the
unruly horses kicked in the dashboard with
great violence.
1t is rumored that the President is about to
change his Indian policy that the military
arm is to be brought to bear upon We gentle
savage, and that the policy of cajoling and
coaxing is to be abandoned. In other words,
that he has slowly and reluctantly arrived at
the conclusion that the Quaker plan of deal

downright farce.

The crop report of the Department of Agri-
culture for October shows that the record of
the yield Of wheat is quite as variable as was
that of its condition during the summer The
New England States have about sustained
their usual average, while the Middle States
show falling off of 80 per cent, and the
Southern States have largely increased their
production. California has increased her
Weld IS per cent. Minnesota and Iowa have
made a material increase, while Missouri and
Kansas show falling off. Virginia and Ken
lucky have good crops, while Maryland and
Ohio return diminished yields, as does the
entire district between the Ohio river and the
lakes. 1t is probable that the completed esti-
mate will not fall short of 240, 900, 600 bushels
upon an area Of little less than 20, 900, 600

The Center of Population.

A good and curious work has been
done by Prof. Hilgard, of the Coast
Survey, in connection with fixing the
"center Of population in the United
States at different periods by means OF
the several census reports. AS the
"center Of gravity" becomes a fixed
point, so does Prof. Hillgard fix
the center of population, demonstrate
ing that il is constantly moving west
ward. In 1910 this point was adjacent
to the foot of the Cumberland Noun
tains in Virginia in 1850 it was moved
westwardly sixty.seven miles to the
south of Parkersburg, still in Virginia !;
in 1860 it had got as far west, about
eighty.two miles, as a place south of
Chillicothe, Ohio, not far distant from
the boundary of Virginia and Ken
lucky; in 1870 it has still "gone west. >
but not so rapidly as in either of the
preceding ten years, it having moved
only forty.fve miles, and is now at Viii.
mington, in Clinton county, Ohio. The
Professor deduces from his very curious
calculations that in the year 1900 the
center Of population will be near
Bloomington, Indiana, about forty.tive
miles southwest of indianapolis. Real
estate spectators who are looking for
large returns about the year 1900 will
consequently take notice.

FoR CONGRESSMAN AT LARGE.
find the following paragraph in the New
York Standard. of Monday, the 18th
instant:
"Major L. e. johnson is in the city,
staying at the Everett House. Major
johnson was formerly United States
Marshal Of South Carolina, and was the
official who made the wholesale arrests
of the members of the Ku Klux orga

was placed in the singular position of
having his father. the Hon. Reverdy

Major johnson will leave for South Ca

he will be- nominated for Congressman
at large on the Republican ticket in that
State"
Decapitated United States Marshals
in this vicinity seem to have fondness
for the position of "Congressman at

cording to the New York Standard, is
about to follow in the footsteps of his
successor in Office, Marshal Epping, who
was elected "Congressman ct Large
