POPE Plus PARALYZED.

New YORK, Nov. PA special
to the "World" from Rome says !;
The gravest fears are entertained for
the life of the Pope. A short time
ago his physician feeling anxious
about the pontiff's condition sum-
moned some of the most eminent
men of the medical profession in
Italy, among others Van Zetti, pro,
fessor of surgery at Padou, for con-
sultation. After most careful ex-
animation the consulting physicians
have given up all hope of his re-
covery. His condition was such
that he may die at any moment, and
if he rallies the recovery will only be
temporary. His lower limbs are
paralyzed and he cannot live very
long.

A COMPANY has been formed in
California with a capital of $780,
900, divided into 5000 shares, for
the manufacture of paper from tule
grass. The company is about to
erect in Stockton large brick
building in which will be placed
three paper machines-two 62inch
aud one 48-inch. A large double
hydraulic press for the manufacture
Of q superior material for book
binders will also be introduced.
Strong board fer the manufacture of
trunks, boxes and barrels will be
made. This material is also used
for the construction Of refrigerator
cars, being one Of the best non-con-
ductors Of heat known. Newspa-
pers will also be manufactured.

that the enormous wheat crop oi
Minnesota, the exportable portion
of which is variously estimated from
twenty-five to thirty-six millions OF
bushels, and which may approxima
tely be stated at about thirty mil
lions of bushels, does not exceed
the grinding capacity of Minnesota
mills.
The census statistics of 1870,
which have become -measurably
valueless for exhibiting the present
condition of the progressive States
of the West, gave Minnesota 2I6
Touring mills, with lap runs of
stone, having a capacity of grind
ing daily l49,23o bushels of wheat !;
which vas equivalent to 1921 bush
els for each mill, or 12l bushels for
each run of stone per day.
In Minneapolis alone to-day there
are mills with 120 run of stone !;
while the towns of Minnesota on the
Mississippi river have mills with
about 12O run of stone; and the
mills along the Southern Minnesota
railroad and tributary country have
about l65 runs of stone, which
makes an aggregate of 5O7 runs of
stone, or nearly as much as the to-
tai capacity of the year 1870.
With list of 27O good Touring
mills in Minnesota before me, hav-
ing an average capacity Of five runs
OF stone each, or an aggregate of
1850 runs of stone, and the GER
tainty of many other small mills in
isolated localities that are not class
ed as commercial, it is safe to estl-
mate the present capacity of 800
Minnesota Touring mills at 1900
runs of stone; but as the improved
French system of grinding wheat
reduces the speed to secure better
flour, the average daily capacity of
each run of stone may be stated at
100 bushels; which would call for
$50, 900 bushels of wheat per day,
for 100000 bushels per month of
twenty-six days, or, for easy compu-
tation, say 100000 bushels per
month for nine months-36, 100000
bushels Correspondence Chicago

THE AMERICAN FARMER.-Re-
cent revelations from high life, and
the tales of poverty aud suffering
that daily reach US from among the
laboring classes in our cities, will
doubtless have a tendency to make
the farmer more contented and hap
py in his circumstances. Indeed,
in the midst of present financial un-
certainties, a good farm, free from
debt, may be well likened to a
strongly built vessel out on mid
ocean during storm. Though the
pillows dash high, and wrecks are
strewn on every hand, yet this
strong vessel, guided by a vigilant
pilot, triumphs bravely over wind
aud wave, and bears its passengers
safely to tie desired haven. SO,
too, with the farm. It's happy pos
SCISSOR can stand III the midst Of
financial crisis, and can behold on
every hand the crash of business
and the wreck of fortunes, and ex-
cept from sympathy for the fate OF
others, he is unmoved. For him
there are no fears of poverty, dis
tress and ruin. Mother Earth is
lavish with her gifts, and nourishes
with faithful care her devoted chill
dren. AS ye SOW, So shall ye reap !;
"while earth remaineth, seed time
and harvest shall not cease"
Trained in the school of virtue to
habits of industry and economy, the
American farmer, as rule, is neither
corrupted by vice nor enfeebled by
luxuries. And while hundreds, nay
thousands, of people in our land are
mourning over wealth and luxuries
once enjoyed, but now lost to them,
perhaps forever, through the cruel
and relentless fate of war, or the
worse than cruel fate of wild and
hazardous speculations, the faithful
and intelligent tiller of the soil, lives
on in contentment in the same un-
pretentious style that has been bis

PRINCIPLE OF TRUE GREATNESS.
Governor Seymour never showed
better appreciation Of the prln-
ciples of true greatness than when
in recent review Of his life he in
qulred what twenty acts OF his life
he would prefer to wipe out had he
the power to do so. Should they
be his business mistakes, his foolish
acts or his grievances After con-
sidering he concluded that he could
not spare these-the things by
which he profted, the very price of
wisdom. He could not afford to
miss the tonic of modification, the
refinement Of sorrow; he needed
them every one. All his acquain-
tance with the eminent men of ou,
country he said had taught that the
key to greatness is found in fear
less self examination. How true
that is. The great pivotal differ.
erence by which We rise or fall
turns upon the way in which we
grapple our faults, and the expe
rience Of New York's great states
man, has been repeated again and
again in the lives of other men
small and great.

Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like fast>fittng meteor, a fast-iying cloud.
A flash ofthe lightning, break of the wave,
He passeth from life to his rest in the grave
The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade.
Be scattered around and together be laid
And the young and the old and the low and the high
Shall moulder to dust and together shall lie.
The child hat mother attended and loved;
The mother that infants affection who proved
The husband that mother and infant who blessed

The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in whose
eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure-her triumphs are by;
And the memory of those who loved her and praised
Are alike from the minds of the living erased
The hand the king that the sceptre hath borne;
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn:
The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave
The peasant, whose lot was TO and to reap;
The herdman who climed with his goats to the steep
The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread.

Inc saint, VINO enjoyed the communion of heaven;
The sinner, who dared to remain unforgiyen;
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust
So the multitude goes like the flower and the weed,
That wither away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes, even those we hehold,

For we are the same things our fathers have been;
We see the same sights our fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream and feel the same sum-
And run the same course fathers have run.

Yea, hope and dependence, and pleasure and pain
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear the song and the dirge

Nor does the American farmer
occupy mean station is life. From
his ranks have arisen many of the
men whose names embellish the
pages of our country's history. To-
day, were we to 60 into our more
enterprising towns and cities, and
inquire into the history of the men
who are leaders in business circles,
who are eminent for culture and
ability, We would find in majority
of cases that they had passed the
happy period of childhood and
youth on the "good old farm" in
some quiet rural town.
Living in country whose agri-
cultural resources are unrlvaled,
protected by laws wise and Just,
and aided by literature which
aims at the development of the
highest perfection in his art, the in
telligent farmer may well look tor
ward to continued prosperity, to a
lie of comfort, if not of atfluence,
and to the enjoyment of a position
which, if rightly filed, will rebound
to the honor Of our nation, and gain
for him the respect of the truly
wise and good everywhere.
