THE SEA OF LIFE.
BY WILL H. COCK.

Bubbling brook, in laughter flowing,
Onward to dark, deep sea,
Little guessing, never knowing
What the future holds for thee.
Thus the joys of childhood blending
With bright nature, ever Free
Joys soon ending, ever tending
Toward the tolls of life's sad sea-
So with fateful manhood, linking
y Childhood's faith to deaths decree;
Toiling, troubling, never thinking
Of eternity's dread sea. n'

A DELUDED MAN

On last Tuesday morning, about o'clock. Mr.
McCann who resides corner of 10th and High
streets was aroused by some one hammering at
his door, and creating general disturbance; he
arose, went down and inquired who was there,
when voice with Celtic accent replied ut don't
make dom bit of difference who am or what
want only yez jist open the door," Mr.. Mccain
made no further reply, but the man outside con-
tinued to storm the door and swear vengeance If
they didn'topenit. In nthemeantime Mr. McCann's
son George, recently returned from California,
arose took large revolver, and went to the door.
He repeated his fathers question to the intruder,
who again replied thatit was none of their dom
bizneSs what he wanted" then George opened the
door, and just as the fellow stepped in he received
a stunning blow from the handle of the revolver,
which laid him in the yard outside; then he arose,
rubbed his headl uttered farewell interjec-
ton, and started away as fast as he could rum
He had evidently been somewhat befuddled, and
in that state had evidently mistaken the house
but it is not probable that he will do so again.

The Nations Crops.

The October report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture contains accounts
from New Jersey, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, showing n large decrease
in the cranberry crops by insect and
ir0sts. The rice crop in South caro-
lima, Florida, Georgia and Louisiana is
much larger than usual. In North
Carolina the great crop was formerly
rice. but since the war the production
has fallen OF and no crop has taken
the place upon large and valuable rice
plantations, which, consequently, are
almost gone to ruin. The sugar cane
in Georgia was cut short by the
drought In some parts Of Florida no
more than three per cent. crop was
planted, for want of seed. In other
parts of the state the crops were
brought up to the full average by Au-
gust and September rains. In Ala
6ama there was largely increased
acreage IN an average condition. In
Mississippi the leading planters are
manufacturing their sugar and mo-
lasscs nj home, from Louisiana and
African cane. Much cane will not be
ground for want of mills, and will
therefore be lost. Louisiana has not
Justified the promise of its fine appear
ance in securing its sorghum crop,
which, though injured in some sec,
tions, is represented as generally fine.
The hop crop is quite good in New
York; the yield was one.third more
than any crop. For the last five years
there was large yield on all fields in
Oregon. The culture there is yet in
its infancy, but bottom lands of the
Willamette will probably prove the
finest lands in the world for hop-grow-
ing. The hemp crop in Kentucky is
very fine, and has been cut In good
time. The numoer of fattening cattle
in the country is somewhat greater
than last year. There is q falling Off
in the New England States, except
Connecticut, which reports an increase
nearly balancing the deficiency in the

The Indian Nation.

A dispath from Parsons, Kansas,
dated October "A, and published in the

report, contained some statements 30
far from the truth that II Is deemed
proper to correct them. The Creek
Council did not legislate to suppress
Bondinot Il Harris paper, the Indian
Progress. If the paper is suppressed 1t
will be In consequence of the non-com-
pliance with law of the Cherokee Ma
tion, applicable to all adopted citizens,
aud according to an act of the Grand
Council, the highest legislative body
IN the Territory, established 10y the
treaty of $3.50. The Creek Council sim
ply ordered Harris from the Nation as
an intruder, aud 1t was the duty of the
United States Agent to enforce the or
der. Harris property was liable to
coniiscation under the law, but the
Council gave him ten days to remove
his building. The United States au.
thorities here decline TO interfere in
the matter, the difficulty being an tier
tribal one, both Hurts and Bondinot
claiming to be citizens of the Cherokee
Nation.
The chiefs of the Cherokees, Chloe.
taws, Creeks, Seminoles and Chicka-
saws, and number of the most prom
