Missions and Science DIR. Christlieb speaks as
follows: "All departments of knowledge, the de.
partmens Of geography language ant nth o.
ion so far as they stand in any relation to the mis-
sonary work, have an interest for the friends of
this enterprise All these departments are helps
to missions; aud missions, in turn, are helps to
them, and confess their obligations to them. So
the missionary enterprise has the greatest interest
in journals of exploration, by means of which we
are made acquainted with unknown countries, and
through which we are taught how often and how
deeply we are indebted to missionaries for our geo.
graphical knowledge, for instance, in the efforts of
DR. Livingstone.

SCRIBSER's MONTHLY for July contains some nota-

here begun with paper Ancestry, to be fOllowed
by another on the same subject. The much eontro
verted "Orthodox Minister is heard from again on

considerable detail as to its history resources and
enterprises Mr. King has little poem the same

One of the most characteristic
illustrated papers of the Number is
"Some Talks of an Astronomer" :"
contributed by Prof. Simon New
comb, Of the United States Observ-
atory at Washington. This paper
which will be concluded in the
November Number, meets a pop
nlar want, and is very timely in
connection with the prominence of
astronomical topics this year,
The admirable serial story, Grape
of the Camp is continued with
two of Mr.. Frederick's brilliant H.
lustrations; aud r. II Stoddard
contributes an excellent poem,
which is illustrated, entitled ''The
Two Anchors.
Especial interest will attach to
the resumption in this Number Of
Senor Castelar's series of papers on
g The Republican Movement in
Europe" The present installment is
an eloquent review of the connection
in the worlds history, between dis
tinctive types of nationality and the
various forms of religious faith.
This subject is treated with an es-
pecial application to the religious
movement in Germany during the
last hundred years, which will be
the subject of few subsequent
papers. Senor Castelar's estimate
eff Luther, Zwinglius, and Calvin
indicates predominant Protestant
impulse acting upon a judgmen OF
rare catholicity.
Three stories of unusual power,
poems by John G. SAKE and Mar
garet K. Sangster, and the five edi-
torial departments make up, with
the other articles which we have
noticed, an ideally perfect Number.

PRAIRIE DU CHEN ROAD NOT TO
ESCAPE THE POTTER LAW
From special dispatch dated
Madison Sept. 22nd, to the St. Paul
Press we learn OF" another argument
before the Wisconsin Supreme
Court, in favor of including the
Prairie du Chen road in the iniunc-
ton compelling compliance with
the provisions of the Potter law, as
well as the other roads of the State"
. This division was excepted from
the recent injunction for the reason
that it had an old territorial charter
which was not subject to the pro-
vision in the State constitution re-
serving the right to alter or repeal.
A general act passed by the terrific
rial Legislature in 1889 has since
been discovered, containing exactly
the same provision that was after
wards incorporated in the State
constitution. The court reserved
Its decision until the 29th, but no
doubt Is expressed that the iniunc-
tion will be issued"

Our farming season is drawing to
a close, and on every hand we
hear of abundant yields. A few
years ago, there was very general
belief, which still prevails with the
uninformed, that this was not an
agricultural country. But time has
demonstrated that the agricultural
capacities Of this section are unsur-
passed by the finest producing dis
tricts of the older states
The land in the greater part Of
this section Of country is red mari,
in some parts more or less mixed
with sand and black loan. 1t is a
soil that decomposes and retains
manure well, hence its great pro-
ductiveness 1t is well adapted to
wheat, particularly the winter yari-
ETY., and from thirty to fifty bushels
per acre of superior quality, is not
an uncommon yield. Oats, barley,
rye and peas are sure and abundant
crops; and for the production of
potatoes, turnips, cabbages, beets,
etc, this section Is unrivalled, as
The plenteous crops annually raised
attest.
The natural grasses that abound
in the valleys and aluviaI bottoms
are nearly sufficient to supply our
present demands, but timothy, red
top and clover are cultivated to
some extent and grow luxuriantly.
The characteristic perfecti on and
nutritious qualities in this section
enable the farmer and ttamster to
keep their horses and stock fat on it
all winter, with much less grain
than in the middle states.
The climate is peculiarly adapted
to the cultivation Of all these crops,
from the fact that when winter sets
in there IS no alternate thawing and
freezing, the operation that kills the
wheat, rye, timothy and clover in
the eastern and middle states.
The country around the head Of
the lake is thjckly wooded with SUI
gar maple, white and yellow birch,
spruce, poplar, ash and oak. In
several districts near the water cour-
ses, much excellent White and
Norway pine is found, the lumber
from which, as an article of com
merce, IS source Of great wealth ;
and atfording The best material for
building our wharves, piers, dwell
ling and business houses.
On the prairies south and west of
us, the high, cold winds which in
winter prevail, cause the snow to
drift, leaving in many places the
tender grains and grasses exposed.
But farms carved out of our sur
rounding forests are protected from
the winds that assail the prairies,
and the cold Of winter, even if as
intense, is certainly less sensibly
felt.
The climate is as favorable fer
the farmer As it is for his crops and
stock-the salubrity of the atmos-
phere, its general refreshing temper
ature, keeping him always in a
condition to drive work ahead.

The Mississippi Flood.

BosroN, June 2.-HoD. Henry G. Crowell,
who visited New Orleans as commissioner,
for the purpose Of ascertalDing what use was
being made of the fund contributed by the cltl.
zens of Boston, and what further assistance, IT
any. was necessary to alleviate the necessities
of the sufferers, made report to-day to the
Mayor and citizens at meeting 10 the City
Hail. After describing in terms of high praise
the method by which relief is distributed, Mr..
CroweI says The extent of the inundatiop Ca
lamity in extent and ruinous consequences is
one Of the greatest that has occurred from fire,
storm or food on this continent during the cur
rent century. To satisfy myself of the nature
of the great inundation [ went to Brashears,
eighty miles west of New Orleans, the last
twenty-three miles through an unbroken food,
varying in depth from three to six feet, which
pours from distant crevasses on the Mississippi
and devastates an immense region. | also went
up the Mississippi about two hundred miles
to Port Hudson, in order TO witness the pas
sage of the vast volume of water rushing
through several crevasses, varying in width
from 500 to 1900 feet, and in depth from 7 to
IL feet, roaring like cataract, having swept
away every obstacle in its course until it spread
itself like vast fall over the neighboriDg
country.

Horrible Crime.

NEW YORK, June Mrs. Michael Devine,
who lives with her husband and three children
at No. IS North 9th street, Brooklyn, E. D.,
this morning, shortly after arising, came be-
hind her husband and struck him a violent
blow on the head with cooper's adze. He
rushed to the station house and had his wound
dressed. Officers Immediately started for the
house, and, Oh arriving there, discovered that
the woman had murdered her three children,
Maggie, James, and Timothy, aged respective
ly 7, 4 aud years. 1t appears that after the
husband left the house she seized large fiat
iron and beat the childrens brains out with it.
On being asked why she had murdered her
childreu she said that she was going to Heav-
en-, and wanted her children to go before her.
Devine's skull is fractured and his Injury will
probably prove fatal. He has been 90 strike
for week past and thinks that has led 10 his
wife g arrangement.
