II Crop prospects I'd the West are excellent.
The continuous rains have drowned out the
chinch-bug, and It is expected thst the corn
yield will be enormous. The farmers are

Ratio Seymour has been mentioned; but he

The Indiana courts have decided that
girl may sue fifty suitors for breach of promise.
A girl that viii mix herself up in fifty breaches

its unparliamentary head for countenancing
any such things. .....l..
i Henri Rochefort is after the venerable
Paul de Cassagnac now. He wants the old
gentleman to come over to Geneva and meet
him on the green sward with duelling pistols.
A pretty picture, Henri, young, ambitious,
and lively, pftted against an old man with one
foot in the grave and the other lifted to follow.
The mediums have got Donaldson dead.
They have had nice, instructive, profitable
chat with him. His spirit tells them that If he

or sinner, "to take, sell or destroy any female

= The political outlook in New York must
be particularly gratifying to the Democracy.
0'Conor and Tflden are at logger-heads with
the Court Of Appeals; Morrissey and Often

- The Chicago Tribune sums up the case
briefly and peintedly thus: ''The fact Is the
Democratic party is not fit at this time to gov
ern anything the nation down to a VII
lage. Il has no leaders who can control the
lncongruous and discordant elements of which
u is composed. Its numerical strength is the
result of combination of the outs and disaf-

licsns, ex-Liberals, ex-Whigs, e1-Abolition-
lists, and largely Of ex rebels. These have no
common policy or principle. It is a combins-
ton Of factions, and each faction literally off,
cered BY demagogues." --S 49,. 1r'
