THE latest crop reports tromGreat
Britain promise anything but a IA
vorable prospect for the farmers. In
every part of the country the season
is exceptionally late. In some
places, notably, in the north of
Scotland, the delay is from three
weeks to a month. The changeable
and unpropitious nature OF the
weather has been so marked that n
parallel can not he found without
going back to 1886. In several
places there are Indications Of dis
ease in turnips and potatoes. While
no real want IS anticipated, the le-
turns will certainly be below the
average of former years.
"MUM socIALs" have been quite
popular throughout the State. The
manner in which they are conducted
is this: An admission of ten cents
is charged at the door, after that the
first time any person speaks they
will be fined fifteen cents. When
they have n c paid their fine they
are at liberty to talk as much as

Iron SlAipbuiilNin..

Hall Il Kelshaw, No. AZ Fremont
street. Saturday tried new steam iron
launch they have recently built by way
of experimenting on the question of cost
of building iron vessels in San Francisco.
This is the first iron vessel ever built in
this city, and the projectors hope to
make it the pioneer of long line Of
iron vessels to he hnIlt on the Pacific
Coast. The boat is steamer yacht,
closed in, SO feet in length over all, 5 feet
4 inches beam and 3 feet depth of hold.
The huh is made of No. II boiler iron.
strongly fastened The frames are one
inch square, and the deck beams arc
made one and one halt inches thick.
The builders have introduced peculiar.
ity in her construction, and that is, the
rudder is attached to the hull, inside the
propeller. The propeller is four blade,
Hurst pattern, and is 30 inches IN diam.
cter, working on n steel shaft one and
one. half inches thick. The engine was
made by Ingram Brothers, OF Fremont
street, and is five inches bore with six
and half inches stroke. II can work
up to 220 revolutions minute, and to
seven.horse power. The model of the
launch is adapted for bay or inland traf-
fic. A water-tight compartment has
been made in the forward part Of the
hull, ami all the modern Improvements
in boat building have been put into the
boat. Messrs. Hall & Kelshaw are both
graduates of the iron shipbuiIding yards
at Hull and London, England, and have
for some years past given much attention
to the question whether iron shipbuild
ing could be proiitably conducted on the
Pacific coast, and both have come to the
conclusion that it can; and have con-
structed the boat they tried Saturday to
ascertain, in moderate way, the relative
cost Of constructing iron and wooden
vessels. Their success, they say, has
fully justified them in their belief as
their vessel was put into the water at
considerable less cost than a similar
boat built of wood would have cost.
The trial trip was made from Long
Bridge to Hunters Point, thence to
North Point. The trip was made from
Hunters Point to the Pacific Mail dock
in 22t minutes, and to North Point in
80 minutes, or at the rate Of more than
fifteen miles an hour.

You must not murder in this land

And I'll speak to brother Watkins,

We both shall write to Washington
And have you pardoned out.

And all who wish to kill

THE INDIAN WAR IN IDAHO.

Fortho NORTHERN STAR ry SGoohum the
IwpprrD
ON CamaS PrnimrN grassy plain
In northern Idaho,
The settler, are aiming,
To fght the deadly foe,
The wild war whoop is ringing,
Where blooms the verdant slope,
And flashing wires bringing
Cries of help, where lives no hope,
Ilclp--help. Oh Indian fighters
Where ever YOU may be,
Come save us from the danger,
OF an Indian massacre.
In the bright warm days of summer,
When the wild birds swCetly sang,
Like pealing clap OF thunder,
These cries OF pity rang,
Startling settlers from their slumbets
There was danger everywhere,
For the savages in great numbers came
To slay his family dear.
Where's the army Where's the army,
With their Generals so brave,
Who will fight the red ticnIs till they
die
The dctenceless ones TO save.
And the Freedman's Bureau Hero came
And said he was no coward,
And fighting Indians was his game;
I'll settlcit, says Howard.
He had borne the brunt of battle
And held high command,
And where muskets loudly rattle
For home and country bravely stand.
lie had fought the rebels in the south,
In Arizonia; Indians wild,
He drove them from the canons mouth
And then baptized red skin child.
In lecture given at Lewiston
The fate of Gettysburg had hung,
lie charged and broke the rebel line
And the hard fought victory rung;
He forgot to mention Chancleryillc,
The rebels changed him there
And drove him from his stronghold,
That night he could out run deer.
Well this warrior came to Idaho,
To settle all the trouble. But he
never thought
That Joseph-Like fox round him
Would double. Come to the Reser-
walton
] have at Lapwai
And I'll forgive your murders,
If you learn to sing and pray.
The war whoop rang out loud and
shrill
And the settler in haste must fly,
For the sayages swarmed from every
With their war cry--all must Gle.
IL there no helping band to save
In this dread hour OF danger
Our loved ones your assistance crave
Oh come brave hardy ranger.
IN answer to this cry for help,
From hamlet, town and villiage,
Brave volunteers who felt no fears,
Nor came for wealth or pillage.
Where the snowy Cascade mountains
Reared their rough and rugged
head,
Where sparkles natures fountains
The Indian fighter sped.
Down the steep and narrow canyon
Through the dark aud gloomy wood,
Over dry and dusty by roads
Like rushing mountain foodl
From every point of compass,
The piercing eye could scan,
Rushed the brave and hardy noun
taineer
To save his fellow man.
Ur ibrothersl Mount your festest
steed
Dash In the deadly fray -
For helpless ones your presence need
Up! Mount and spur away
So from cabin town and city
The brave and fearless came,
They for murderers felt no pity,

The American comedian Ben

gibes and his merriment that were
wont to set the house in a roar2"
"Quite chap fallen" so far as this
poor stage is concerned. There
have been greater actors, but none
more conscientious or painstaking,
none a truer artist than he. His
text was his law and his author his
law giver, whose conceptions were
to be filed out, and he filed them
in a manner rarely excelled. AS a
comedian Ben DeBar had equals in
some roles, but none excelled him
in versatility. lie embraced in his
repertoire almost the circle of
English standard comedy. lie was
natural, and yet he did not allow
nature to obtrude itself upon the
domain of art. His characters
stood out in the perspective OF the
stage, and he had not that, Of all
faults most a%bominable, the fault Of
over .~naturalness. The actor who
talks as do Tom, Dick and Harry
in the street has sunk art in the
commonplace and everyday. That
Mr.. DeBar never did. He has been
called coarse, and perhaps he was
not delicate; he was not gross.
He drew his outlines so they could
be seen. He was not obscure. He
was known of late years better as
a manager, and was immensely
popular. Edwin Adams said of
him once, laying his hand on his
shoulder and turning to an ac-
quaintance: "You have heard Of
the gods Of the g%allery--here is the
god of the theater, from pit to
oome." He was a genial man whose
life gave others pleasure, who lived
for bis art, and loved and enjoyed
with a keen zest the pleasure he
gave others. Those who deny to
such men a Legitimate place in this
world and the next are few and be-
coming fewer, and the last crab
apple of that sour species will soon
drop of, and the men who cultivate
a beautiful art and give other.

The Captured Outlaw for whom Ihe

Dallas, Texas. Herald
His father was a preacher who
lived in Southwest Texas. AS boy
he was remarkably quiet, and gave
no evidence of the terrible passions
which, in after life, made him thirst
for blood. When almost sixteen
years Of age, and while the State
was under military rule, a darby on
his fathers place provoked him,
and he shot him. For this he was
arrested and placed under guard of
some soldiers who started for
Huntsville with him. AS he was
only a boy they did not watch him
very closely, and at night lay
dewn to sleep. Hardin arose in
the night and killed every one
of them. This outlawed him.
His next act was the muir
der of Jack Helm, out of
which grew the Sutton and Taylor
troubles, Hardin siding with the
Taylors. His father and brother
got mixed up and were taken out
and hung in Western Texas. From
this time on he was a desperate Of
the worst order. Missouri and
Kansas became the field of opera
ton, and before he left them he
added many more to the death list.
In those States there are at present
large rewards offered for him. From
there he came back to Texas, and
kept the border in a state Of terror
ism. His last murder was the kill
ing OF Webb, the deputy sheriff OF
Brown county at Comanche. 1t is
estimated that in various sections
of the county there are over twenty
thousand dollars of rewards offered.
Hardin is a young man about
twenty-seven or twenty-eight years
of age, five feet eight inches and a
half in hight, weighs $50 pounds,
has haxen hair, blue eyes, and not
an u~npleasing countenance.
