CHARITY IN SILENCE.

For q long time the English newspapers
have been acknowledging the receipt OF
checks for q thousand pounds for various
benevolent objects from a person whose
name never could be discovered The
money was generally sent by post, either
through the Times or some other respecta-
Bile journal, Much curiosity was manifest
ed to know the name of this extraordinary
and modest benefactor, who would, under
no circumstances, allow his candle to be
taken from under the bushel. Rumour
grew, and it came to be widely believed
that the Queen was actually taking this
method of disbursing a part of her enor-
nous fortune, and that she was earning
q new title to the endearment OF her
subjects by scattering thousand pound
notes for purposes of general beneVoIence.
It has now been ascertained that the real
person was o Mr.. Atwood, an old gentle
man living near Chestnut. He was
about eighty years ofage, a bachelor, and
had amassed a large fortune In the manu-
facture of glass, He lived in complete
retirement and has recently died. Since
his death it has been discovered that he
gave away one million seven hundred
thousand dollars in this manner, and that
in the last year of his life his donations
amounted to two hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars. Notwithstanding the
enormou sums thus contributed to the
public welfare Mr.. Atwood left a fortune
of five million dollars. This is an odd
but pleasing evidence of an eccentric
disposition. 1t destroys, however, one of
the most popular decisions concerning the
Queen.

Great enterprises are springing up
all over the world. Besides the Mount
Gents tunnel tho Alps are being
pierced by a still greater bore under
Mount st. Gothard. The Suez Canal
finds a counterpart in the projected
inter-oceanic canal across the Isthmus
of Panama. The problem OF a tunnel
beneath the English Channel, which
has long been moo,ed, begins to as.
sumo tangible shape, and now it il
seriously proposed to unite Europe
and Africa by tunnel under the
Straights of Gibralter. As now pro.
jected, the tunnel is to be constructed
in straight line, and be extended be-
tween Tarifa aud Algcziras, on the
Spanish coast, toward Ceuta and Tan.
gier, on the coast of Morocco. The
submarine part will be A. 6O feet long,
or nearly nine English miles. This
enterprise, however, presents greater
difficulties than that under the English
Channel, though the latter is twice az
long az the former. The maximum
depth of the channel at the points to be
cut through is but l63 2 feet while that
of the Straits amounts to 262l feet. In
case the tunnel under Gibrslter be
bored at . depth Of 1000 feet, It's total
depth beneath the surface OF the sea
would be more than 5000 feet, while
the galleries leading to it on each side
would be three miles long.-Syracuse

THE FROST.
How 1t Affected the Crops.

HOW II Affected the Crops
Peru, Ind, May 2-The prospects
for wheat are better than last year.
Richmond, Ind, May 3-There will
be about one-third of an average crop.
All fruit except apples. is killed, and
there will be about quarter of the
usual yield.
indianapolis, May 3.-Wheat Is not
materially injured, but fruit is serious
ly damaged.
Kokomo, May S-All fruits are sc.
ltously damaged, If not entirely killed
Wheat is badly frozen, and there will
not be an average yield.
Atchison-Tho prospect Is flattering
for a good wheat harvest in this Sec
ton. 1t is not believed that the grass
hoppers will do much harm.
Peoria, In.--Wheat and oats have
been damaged In this section very
much by the recent cold weather.
There is g prospectfor some fruit In
some orchards.
Dubuque, 1owa--The frosts lately
have been severe, but have done no
serious damage 10 the wheat crops,
which are TOO backward to be badly
injured. The breadth offspring wheat
sown is larger than usual.
Topeka, May 3-Rcports show that
tho prospects for all kinds of crops
were never better. No damage has
been done by the recent frost. The
cold rains are killing tho young grass
hoppers as fast as they appear. The
average amount of wheat sown 10
much larger than last year. More
corn is being planted than usual.

the opinion that all persons have le.

ductor Of railroad train cannot as
sign special car to ladies and child
rem and the attendants to the exclu.
sion of others, unprovided for, or
until other passengers are furnished
with cars and all necessary facilities
for travelling therefore my view of
the act is that 1t was not intended to
affect social rights, but civil and legal
rights. In conclusion the Judge sta
ted that If it shall be made to appear
that any inn-keeper, manager Of .
theatre, or transportation agent has
refused proper facilities to any one on
account of race or previous condition
of servitude, the Grand Jury has au.
thority to ind q true bill against

West. Everywhere the superiority of
wheat seeded with a drill, and the
great advantage of this mode over
broadcas,ing, are conspicnously ap-
parent. The entire report seems to
indicate that the prospect for winter
wheat is quite below the average of
last year" In the Northwest, below
the extreme northern portion, the con-
dition OF winter wheat is reported
quite bad.
In regard to the condition of farm
animals, the report says: "The status
of farm animals for the whole coun'
try is fully up to the average spring
condition in a series of years, notwi!h-
standing the remarkable severity OF
the winter, and far above average,
taking into consideration comparative
numbers of animals represented by
the counties making the best reports
There has been no prevailing disease

DR.. Patton is truly good man, who chron-

as he possibly can. For when he dies the
devil will get him, sure pop not to keep

it the devil isn't for the benefit Of such
