A Mysterious Murder.

Mrs. Cora Chessman, of New York
city, who was mysteriously shot one night
last week, has made statement, claiming
that she committed the deed herself, because
her husband threatened to desert her, and
that after the shooting .Chessman left, on her
advice, for fear that he would be arrested.
The probability is thatthe shooting was done
by the, husband, and that his victim, faithful
to the end, gives the. last. moments Of her life
to shield him@trom the penalty Of his crime.

says: Looking over the whole situation; how

The world wants more sunshine in
it's disposition, in it's business, in it's
charities, and in it's theology. Forlten
thousand of the aches and pains and
irritations Of men and women. we
recommend sunshine. 1t soothes bet
ter than morphine. 1t stimulates bet
ter than champagne. 1t is the best
plaster for wound. The good Sam
aritan poured out into the fallen tray
eler's cash more of this than of oil.
Florence Nightingale used it on the
Crimean battlefelds. Take it into all
the alleys, on board all the ships, by
all the sick beds. It is good for spleen,
for liver complaint, for neuralgia, for
rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for
melancholy. We suspect that Heaven
itself is only more sunshine.

Fight With a Catamount.

The Honesdale Chronicle says that
George Gillespie, of Scott, Wayne co.,
Pennsylvania, while passing through
the woods in that township one night
last week, on his way to hunt pigeons,
saw crouching on the limb of a maple
tree, about ten feet from the ground,
large catamount, and thoughtlessly
fired a load of shot at the animal. It
dropped to the ground and glared saw
agely at the hunter. Gillespie eluded
it, and quickly put the contents of the
other barrel into the animals face and
eyes. This blinded the Infatuated ami
NAL, but it was not inclined to surren-
der, and sprang about wildly after it's
assailant, guided by the sound of his
feet. He dubbed it with his gun, and
by several heavy blows succeeded in
rendering it unconscious. when he cut
it's throat with a knife. The cata-
mount was three feet four inches long,
and weighed sixty pounds.

Sir William Thomson on the Center Of the
&C.. Earth. - fg.i


49,: Earth. Fl
London Spectator. f+s:5h arl ~. = ~.
A remarkable address has been de.
livered by Sir William Thomson, in
the Physical Section Of the British AS
ISOLATION, on the subject of the fluid
or solid nature of the earth's kernel.
While not denying that certain por-
lions of the earth's interior are in a
molten or fluid state Sir William Thorn
son maintained, on various more or
less reconcile grounds, that no large
proportion of the earth's interior can,
by any possibility, be in the condi-
ton of molten fluid. 81 may say, with
almost perfect certainty, that what
ever may be the relative densities of
rock, solid and melted, at or about the
temperature of liquefaction, it is,
think, quite certain that cold solid
rock is denser than hot melted rock :;
and no possible degree of rigidity in
the crust could prevent it from break
ing in pieces and shaking wholly below
the liquid lava. Something like this
may have gone on, and probably did
go on, for thousands of years after
OC11NlLnO1Ol . OAl
tions of the melted material losing
heat, freezing and sinking immedi-
ately, or growing to the thickness of Il
few metres where the surface would
be cool, and the whole solid dense
enough to sink. This prossess must
go on until the sunk portions Of the
crust build up from the bottom a suf
fiiciently close-ribbed skeleton or
frame to allow fresh incrustations or
remain, bridging across the now small
areas Of lava-pools or lakes.''
That is a striking picture of the
growth of the ''round earth,'' which
was once supposed to have been made
from the first $50 fast that it can not
be moved We are rather sorry to be
robbed Of the belief in the central lava
ocean after all.

trade movement, it must be born in mind
great sources Of supply for wheat, will, be cut
of, good part of the. wheat which supplies
the world coming from Russia; that there
will be an enormous demand for our bread
stufs and provisions, in fact all good products;
that there also will be great demand for
coarse manufactures and particularly for ev-
erything that comes under the head of war
supplies, and that this demand will directly
help the transportation lines OF all kinds, and
will indirectly stimulate every branch of in
dustry. 1t must not be forgotten, however.
that at least part of what our exports will
gain in This way will be lost on cotton, OF
which we have an enormous crop this year.
Whether the domestic consumption of cotton
can be increased so as to compensate for what
ever reduction there may be in the foreign
demands is another question.
The Markets.
A steady and firm market, rather
bouyant, ruled during the past week, at all
western points, the news OF prospective Eu-
rOpean war being regarded as rather too SEN
sational to risk much speculation upon. Of
course the war-like news had its effect, and
not without reason. Should there be a gene
raj war, i'll which Russia takes hand, the eff
feet must be an active demand for American
grain and flour in England at increased values.
Tho uncertainty of the result of the nego-
tiations, and hope that some solution Of the
problem will be arrived at without resort to
arms by the great powers, prevents any great
advance at present either in this country or
Europe.
The quality Of the grain now being market
ed in the Northwest is mainly No. 2, but very
little being graded down to No. 8. The grain
is generally sound, but light weight, making
good quality of flour but not satisfactory
yield, and most millers complain that they
cannot turn out as many barrels Of flour in "a
hours as of former crops. There has been
prevailing opinion that the standard grade of
wheat in the Northwest was higher than that
OF Milwaukee. This is not the case this year
at least as they have raised the standard
weight of No. 2 in that city from IS to Sc lbs.
and require the grain to be sound and we'll
cleaned.
Prices at Chicago, s1.15 seller December !;
Milwaukee, S1.2l cash; Minneapolis and
St. Paul, s1.08 for No. 1, Sl.O3 for No. 2. The
eastern markets were fiuctuating.

PUSH ON.

The Democrats in Congress have done we'll
in pushing investigation into the very heart
Of the Radical camp, and have won the de-
served applause Of all honest men in the coun-
try. The independent voter, upon whose suf-
frage depends the result Of the next cam
'paign, has undoubtedly been favorably i'm
pressed with the honest intentions of the
Democratic House in it's effort to unearth the
the fraud and corruption which everybody
believes to have existed in official circles ever
since the advent of Grant to the Presidential
chair. Much has been DONE but much more
remains yet to do; it is only the initial step
that has been taken 30 far. and even that has
not been made as positive and firm as neces-
sary. This Belknap affair must be brought
fully to light, and the offender must be made
to suffer the full penalty Of his crimes. Il is
not enough to have exposed to the country
his villainy-an example must be made Of him,
and Presidential influence and threats must
not be allowed to intimidate in the slightest
degree the members of Mr.. Olymer's commit
tee.

the committee has been directed to other and
even more stupendous robberies and frauds in
official circles, and the demand for more in
vestigation and more energetic labor has be-
come general. The late elections in two
Eastern States demonstrated the fact that the
Radical party are determined to hold together
as fast % possible they have discovered the
fact that their only hope of salvation lies in
their allegiance to their parry, and they see
that if they fail in the next campaign . long
train of disasters will follow their leaders as
soon as they lose the power Of the Executive.
1t is to the intelligence and reason of the
independent voter that the Democratic party
must address itself, and they can do SO in no
better way that in evidencing q sincere desire
to punish those who have perpetrated such
hAgrant outrages upon the people, and if pos
sible to despoil them Of the fruits Of their
knavery.
This is no time for halting-the members of
the various committees of the House must
push on in the good work. Every department
Of the government must be subjected to an
earnest, exhaustive and thorough investiga-
ton, and the results must be made public as
