party despOtism by indicating the rights of

If / respect Horace Greeley for ANYTHING,
it is for the courage and pluck he displayed
on SO many occasions by differing from the
sentiments temporarily prevailing in his
party and by doing or saying things which
he considered right, although they were
against the current of public opinion or not
in accordance with the intolerant fancy or
prejudice of the hour. 1Cheers. 1t
takes great deal of pluck and courage
to do so.
There is physical courage which may
be displayed by commander on tho field
of battle, who shrinks not at the critical
hour from the awful responsibility he must
assume, without time for reflection, and
with defeat and disgrace as the inevitable
result of mistake. But there is a moral
courage which may be manifested by the
statesman who yields not to the popular
clamor and prejudice of the hour, and, I'M
disturbed by Misrepresentation and abuse,
sacrifices the prospects of his own personal
advancement to the conviction that he can
render an important service to his country.
[Applause.l Give me the one for the field;
give me the other for the Cabinet. The
one may lead our armies to victory, but
the other will heal the wounds of the wal
and give us again truly united, a recon
clled, a prosperous and happy country
Prolonged applause and cheers

The area of the city Of Washington, ID.
c., in acres is Clio 04-100. A report made
to Congress by the commissioner of public
buildings some twenty or thirty years ago,
shows that there were then tWenty-one
avenues and one hundred and sixteen
streets on the plan of the city, which Gov
cred an area Of two thousand six hundred
and fifty-four acres, while the public reser-
vatiOns, &c, comprised five hundred and
forty-one acres, one rood and twenty nine
perches. 1t will be seen from this that of
the entire area Of the city oyer one half is
occupied by streets and public reservations,
the exact amount being 3,195 acres, leav-
ing 2,915 acres for dwelling houses, &c
Since the date of the report above referred
to several new streets have been opened;
and no calculation is made in the above of
the area covered by alleys. 1t is probably
safe to say that considerably over one halt
of the area of the city is taken up by streets,
avenues and alleys.

A SINGULAR CASE.
NAN 4 MURDERER FOR PERMITTING
HIMSELF TO BE SHOT.

There is charge of murder pending in
the London courts against man for per-
hitting himself to be shot. The circum-
stances OF the case are extraordinary in all
respects. Two young German gentlemen,
of respectable family, visited London, and
in four days managed to expend the sum
Of 81, 900 in the pursuit of pleasure. At
the end Of that time, having exhausted
their money, they came TO the conclusion
that there was nothing left to them worth
living for, and agreed to die together. A
few lines of farewell were written to some
young girls who had assisted them i'll their
revelries, after which they locked their door
and stripped themselves for death. One
of the young men, named Paul May, stood
up, and the other shot him through the
breast. AS May fell to the floor, his com
paniOn finished his work by shooting him
self through the heart. 1t 50 happened
that May was not MORALLY wounded, but
is in fair way Of recovery, and when he
is convalescent he is to be taken before the
| authorities to stand his trial for willfully
numbering the companion who shot him,
| in accordance with the verdict rendered
| by the cOr0ner's jury which investigated
his case, as in England, where two persons
mutually agree to commit suicide to-
| gether, and only one dies, the survivor is
held guilty of the murder of the one who
died. Some of the greatest English judges
have ruled that such is the law. The last
trial of this kind occurred in the OLE
Bailey in 1898, when Benjamin Allison
was indicted for the willful murder o
Emma Grips, woman with whom III
had been living. The two had agreed Il
commit suicide together, and drank three
parts of a esp of laudanum each. TIL

man, and he survived. These facts wer
proven on the trial, and the man was con
victed of numbering the woman, and sen
fenced to death.

wheat crop OF Livermore and San Joaquin
valleys, California, is estimated at from
twelve to fifteen million bushels, which
have all been gathered and bagged, and
are now lying in heaps along the Central
Pacific railroad, awaiting transportation
One field in LivermOre valley covers sixty
eight thousand acres, or over one hundred
and six square miles, and has yielded forty
bushels of first-class wheat to the acre.
Within seven days the wheat yield of that
large farm was standing stacked within

commonly used for sending grain to mar

Theodore Tilton in late number Of his
paper says:
The worst ire eaters, the hardest slave
owners, the most cruel slave drivers, and
the politicians who made the most trouble
in the South before the war were Northern
men. The most scurrilous papers printed
in the South like the Newbern Times are
edited By Northern 2QVenturers; consider
ing these facts in connection With the fact
that the carpet-bag governments have rob-
ted the South Of about two hundred mil
lion dollars, it is not wonderful that South
erners look somewhat coldiy upon an in
crease of Northern immigration. Where
is the Northern community that would
welcome the population OF Blackwell'S
