balance. The pasha who resides there is
subject to the governor general OF
Syria. II would seem within the range
of possibility for the Christians and Jews
to unite and administer a severe fOgging
TO the Musselmans; in fact, there never
was a better time for revolution as sui
tan Murad has his hands full with the
formidable rebellion in European Tur-
key.
ENGLAND has at last released Wins
low. He is now a prisoner in England,
for it is safe to say that should he land
upon the continent he would soon be ex-
tradited. Even Holland, without any
extradition treaty, proposed to drive
him away. A few years since George
Bidwell, Austin b. Bidwell and George
Macdonnell, three Contemplating Ameri-
cans" landed in England, and by a
series of forgeries defrauded the bank of
England of more than hundred thou
sand pounds. One of the parties, and
the most important one, was arrested and
sent back from this country, and the
three were sentenced to penal servitude
for life. Had they committed the crime
in 1876, the bank of England would
have whistIed for the proof and portion
of the money.
Iowa claims a rival for the California
oy who sees what is going on in the
moon. His name is Neeley and he re-
sides at Dexter, where he has followed
the humble occupation of worker on
the road since his release last winter
from the state penitentiary after ten
years confinement. Neeley doesn't see
the interior working of the moon, but
when asleep he does see--unless his biog-
raphers lie Ike a st. Louis letter carrier
events that are happening miles away.
A few days ago, while at work on the
streets, he informed his fellow workmen
that his sister, who resided six miles
south of De Soto, had died the previous
night, for he had witnessed her death
scene during his sleep, and in half an
hour the telegraph operator brought him
dispatch corrobOrating his dream of the
night before. During his imprisonment
he witnessed the death of his father and
mother, and circumstances connected
Herewith. The events were corrobOrat-
ed Just rs he had dreamed, and what is
stranger STILL always before receiving let
ters from his wife while he was in prison.
he was always visited in his dreams by
L., ,,.b,,
told all that was written in his letters,
so that he always knew when the letters
were coming and what they contained
and would tell the news before he got it
to his prison comrades.
A MOST extraordinary disaster occurred
in st. Paul, Minnesota, the other day,
in the shape of an eruption of wheat
from one of the bins of an elevator. The
bin is, or was, twenty by thirty feet in
width, about seventy feet deep, and was
filled with wheat from bottom to top, the
amount being estimated at about thirty
four thousand bu ushels. Suddenly it was
discovered that the wheat was puehing
out the side of the elevator, thirty or
forty feet from the top, and that several
of the iron stays had snapped asunder.
Efforts were promptly made to reduce
the pressure by removing the wheat but
it was too late, and soon, with great
crash, the wooden timbers burst open.
the iron sheathing was ripped of, and
out rushed the wheat in gigantic stream
twenty feet in diameter. 1t poured over
the bluff, crushing to fragments a shanty
about fifty feet from the elevator, al !
though the inmates had time to escape |
The sight of this torrent of wheat was a
most singular one. The whole amount |
discharged from the ragged hole in the
elevator was variously estimated at from
seven to ten thousand bushels. 1t took |
but a few moments to deposit this golden
grain in pile at the foot of the elevator
about seventy-tive feet square. A force
OF men was at once employed to shovel
the wheat in upon the floor of the ele-
vauor, in the midst of which process a
shower came. But the grain was kept
comparatively dry.
