The Recommendations OF Corn.

HE HkebashelizntiOm Of Corn.
The New York Graphic illus
trates the insane howl about the
reconciliation OF silver by relating
the experience of Mr.. Samuel
Klumby, of Iowa, whose case is
somewhat similar to that of the
people, who ask permission to pay
their debts according to contract.
Mr.. Klumby was a prosperous far
mer some years ago, but the grass
hoppers swarmed down upon him,
ate out his substance, and, finally.
he was compelled to go to his
neighbors for help. Said he:
81 must hire men to help me
fight the hoppers. Lend me 10000
bushels of oats, and will pay you
per cent. interest on them, and
will in twenty years wipe out the
debt by giving you 10000 bushels of
corn or oats at my option. In this
way l can sell the oats and hire
men to kill the hoppers."
They readily agreed to the profit
able bargain, for they knew that
Uncle Sans fine estate was worth
ten times the debt. They delivered
TO him the 10000 bushels of oats,
and took his secured twentv-year
notes, in which he bound himself
to pay the interest regularly, and
to give them two bushels for one at
maturity "in corn or oats"
Uncle Sam sold the oats, hired
hundred men, and killed and drove
off all the hoppers. For twenty
years he has paid the interest every
fall.
When the loan was first made,
corn was worth much more than
oats, and the holders of Klumby
notes hoped he wonld redeem them,
when the time came, in corn but
in fow years the relative prices
changed-corn fell and oats rose.
Then the holders of the notes
went to the Iowa Legislature and
hired the members TO pass an act
on the last night of the session,
when nobody was noticing what
was going on, saying that it should
thereafter take forty quarts of corn
TO make bushel.
1t was put through in tho dark,
under the title of can act to change
the name of Ann Ejit to Seraphina
Seroilia Scram,a and for other purpo-
ses."
The passage of this swindling law
made a great excitement in Iowa !;
and, taking advantage of the indig-
nation, Samuel Klumby and others
succeeded in electiDg legislature
last fall favorable to changing the
corn-bushel back to thirty-twO
quarts, and enabling Uncle Sam to
pay his debt in corn if he wishes to
do so, according to contract.
At this the absurd cry of Fraud
"Repudiation," ETC., has been raised.
Some of the Klumby notes have
been bought by the New York bro
kers, who own most of the New
York newspapers, and they echo
the cry of ''FraudW The follow
ing letters are exhibited in Iowa by
those who are determined TO make
old Klumby pay more than he
agreed to-:

How They Were Taken In.


THIS is the story as told by the Boston
Herald: Not many weeks ago a gentle
man engaged apartments at one of our
fashionable family hotels. In appear
anCe he was not prepossessing; he had
an unpleasant manner and an ungainly
figure, and possessed none of those
qualities calculated to recommend one to
the gentler sex. After several days So
iouIn he had succeeded in making him
self disagreeable to all those he came in
contact with. On the eleventh day after
his arrival middle-aged and a young
lady entered the hotel office and, regis
tering their names as mother and daugh-
ter, engaged an apartment. Their APP
pearance in the diningroom on the morn
ing after their arrival caused quite a
sensation among the eligible young
bachelors, the young lady proving eX-
ceedingly attractive, and before many
days considerable rivalry sprang up
among the young men and marriageable
old ones, each endeavoring to ingratiate
himself in the young lady's affections.
She received their attentions with
naughty dignity and GOODNESS which
proved very discouraging to the less-de
termined and faint-hearted males. Our
awkward friend, the first arrival, was
among the candidates for the damsel's
favor. His repeated Announcements and
obstrusive remarks to her brought down
on him the justly-merited ridicule of all,
especially those interested, and more
particularly of one young man who was
possessed of considerable wealth and q
limited supply of brains. He declared
that the ugly fellows attentions were in
sulting to the fair lady, while the homely
member of the race thought that he was
more acceptable in the young lady's eyes
than any other man in the hotel, and
with taunting boast offered to bet the
rich young man $500 that before twenty
four hours he would accompany her TO
the theater. Foolish as it may seem, the
young man took the bet, and 81, 600 were
placed in the hands of the hotel clerk.
True to his boast, within the prescribed
time the ugly man took the handsome
woman to the Globe Theater. On re-
turning to the hotel the clerk handed
him $1,000. Going upstairs, the lady
was overheard asking: How much was
the bet?" Zone thousand dollars" he
replied. Stupid little husband" she
said, why didn't you double it," Next
morning three persons had an early
breakfast at that hotel, then folded their
tents and stole away.

County, Ca, a few days ago. The negro
struck him on the head with an ak, kill
ing him instantly He then took O'Brien's
goods and peddled them among the ne
groes in the vicinity. The body was
found buried in the woods. Wells was
arrested and placed in the Waynesboro
Jail, and the same night was taken out
by a crowd of unknown men and lynched.
He confessed having murdered O'Brien
to obtain his goods and money.
AT Goshen, Mass, few nights since,
Mrs. Freedom w. Packard attempted to
murder her husband and take her own
life Mrs. Packard is thirty-one years
old, and her husband is respectable and
well-to-do farmer of sixty She secreted
a razor in the bed, and after she and her
husband had retired for the night, and
the light had been extinguished, sud-
denly began to carry out her desperate
purpose. The result was that she cut
her husbands throat badly and her own
worse. Mr.. Packard will probably re.
cover, but his wife's fate is doubtful.
She had long been in Respondent state
of mind and had attempted suicide be-
FORE
Mrs. ELIZABETH DoRNER, an elderly
woman, while building fire at her
home in Baltimore, the other afternoon,
attempted to quicken the flames by pour
ing kerosene-oil in the stove from can.
The fire communicated to the can, which
exploded, and she was at once enveloped
in flames. Uttering piercing shrieks she
fled to the yard, and, throwing herself
under hydrant, endeavored to eXtin-
gdfsh the flames. Some men, hearing
her screams, came to her assistance, and
tearing her clothes off it was found that
her body was completely charred from
head to foot. The flames had been so
fierce that they had partially burned the
hydrant, and could only be eXtinguished
with difficulty. The poor woman lin
gered in intense agony for some ten
hours, when death came to her relief.
AN unknown man recently met most
singular death on the premises of DR..
Harms, at Claysville, Ky. During the
night the doctor heard noise in his
yard and, looking out, saw something re-
sembling human being near his smoke
house. He fired his shotgun at the OBJ
ject, which vanished, and the doctor
slept till morning. Upon examining the
smoke-house in the morning he was as
tonished to find a man crushed to death
under the corner of the building. A
lever under the building, with blood
stains at the end of it, showed that the
man who was shot at was pressing down
the lever to lift the corner of the house,
while his comrade crawled under to the
inside. The man at the lever had evil
IDENTIFY been wounded and, loosing his hold
on the lever, allowed the building to fall
back, crushing the other to death.

Power of Sympathy.

WEDNESDAY night at the Union Depot
a coffin lay on baggage-truck, waiting
to be put on Lake Shore train No
s, when it should 90 out. 1t was d.
rected to Mrs. -, Parma, Jackson
County, Mich. 1t contained the remains
of the son of IA woman who, in one short
year, had lost every near relative she
possessed on earth-husband, daughter
and two sons. This was her last son,
who had just died in Cincinnati She
had been summoned to his side when he
was suddenly taken ill, and had arrived
just one hour after he breathed his last,
calling vainly in the agonies Of death for
his mother. At times the realization of
her terrible grief and loneliness would
weigh down on her with such unbearable
force that she would almost grow wild
with anguish. She paced the floor of
the depot impatiently, and finally walked
out and stood over the coffin, wringing
her hands and moaning with grief. An
other woman saw her and came to her
side. They were utter strangers, but
sorrow made them sisters. "Do not
give way to your grief SO completely"
said the strange lady to the poor woman.
"How can l help it," said she, almost
