John Winter and Isaac Mari both from
Burlington, Iowa, have been chopping wood
on the bluffs near Cleveland for some
time past. They were chopping on their
own hook, intending to leave the wood lie
until fall. and then dispose of it.. But Mar
got homesick and wanted to sell out his
share in the wood. Winter objected. This
state of things created a wrath between
them. Yesterday morning they had some
more words on the subject, and fell tc
blows. Winter happened to have an ak
handle in his hand, ard with this he bea'
Mari over the head until he was insensible.
His cries attracted the neighbors, who came
to the rescue. Winter has fled the cour.
Try, and Mari is in a bad condition.

We are now in the midst of harvest, re-
markable fine days and nights, cool, quiet
and i%nvigorating m~ornings-a gentle breeze
at midday, the sun setting clear, followed
by a smiling harvest moon. The crops
bountifully calls forth silent and fervent
thanks from the farmer TO Almighty for
this good and plenteous reward for his la
Dor; hut yet there is a fear, as there always
is, in the mind of the husbandman, that
something yet may befall them, and snatch
from them their plentiful gleanings. Now
and then, as the %grasshopper sails around
between us and the sun, you see a dense
smoke rising on the prairie, the product of
some one who is determined to fight it out,
and by this means warns MIR. G%rasshopper
not to light on his premises, or he will
warm him up worse than old Satan will
sinners. But | think there is no fear from
the present locust from the fact that he
seems to have no destination in view-some
days going north, and some days south,
sitting down at night, and rising with the
breeze at midday. AT least, no injury has
been sustained from him as yet.

II. A. Hamilton, agent of the Illinois
Central railroad at this station, yesterday
received a telegram from Vim. p. Johnson,
general passenger agent, announcing that to-
day a change OF time will take effect on that
road, by which the regular passenger train
will leave this city ten minutes af,erthe reg
ular leaving time of the Sioux City and
Pacific, reaching Chicago at 3:15, which is
twenty-five minutes earlier than the Chicago
and Northwestern trains, and an hour earlier
than heretofore on the Central, thus reduc-
ing the time an hour and a half between this
city and Chicago. The sleeping car will
hereafter run through from Newell to Chi
cago, instead of stopping at Freeport as has
previously been the case.

4 HUGE TREASURE FOR THE SUI
TAN.

The Scherif Of Mecca, a recent Lon.
don dispatch states, has placed the
treasures Of the Kaaba-the holiest
shrine known TO the Mohammedan
world-at the Sultan's disposal The
treasures, which are the gifts of pilgrims
accumulated during several hundred
years past, amount TO 200,OO0,0O0 pias-
ters, or $50 10000. A pilgrimage TO the
Temple Of Mecca is enjoined upon every
Mohammedan whose means and health
permit. The twelfth month Of the Mo-
hsmmedsn year is the time when the
chief religious ceremonies at the shrine
take place. Most of the pilgrims doubt
less begin their journey foT the far dis
tant religious capital one or two months
beforehand. Having arrived near
Mecca, the pilgrims assemble at various
appointed places and prepare themsel-
YES to take part in the holy ceremonies
The wall pilgrims put on a sacred gar
ment, consisting Of two wooden wrap
pers-One around their waist, the other
around their shoulders. The head il
left bare and the heel and instep Of the
foot. They begin their holy rites upon
arriving in Mecca by walking seven

ny is followed by running first slowly
and then quickly between two mounts,
where before the prophets time idols
were worshiped. Nine days afterward
the pilgrims stand in prayer on the
mountain Of Arafat, near Mecca, until
sunset. The whole Of the succeeding
night is also spent in prayer. The fol-
lowing morning at daybreak the pill
grims visit the Masheral Haram, the
Sacred monument Ia place where, ac-
cording 10 tradition, the prophet stood
80 long in prayer that his face began to
shine), and then 60 10 the Mira valley
where they throw seven Tor seventy
stones at three devils for the avowed
purpose Of putting Satan 10 flight. The
is completed with sacrifices
on the same day and in the same place
The pilgrims shave their heads and cut
their nails, buTying the latter on the
same spot. They then bid farewell 10
the Kaaba, and, taking with them some
sacred souvenirs, such as dust from the
tomb, proceed to their homes
It is from these pilgrims that the treasu-
res referred to in the cable dispatch
we're collected. The amount yielded
every year must be very large In
1873, 100000 pilgrims visited the holy
places.

ANOTHER RI. VAR.

Railroad wars are getting TO be so
Common OF late years, that they viii
soon attract little attention, outside Of
the parties directly interested. Itis on
ly few weeks ago that we announced,
in the Reporter, the close oftke war be-
tween the corporations that run the iron
horses, and now we have new one
brewing. Advices from New York, Of
inst, say that the event in business
circles that excites most attention is the
official announcement that the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railroad
has really reduced its passenger fares 10
New York to SIS, thus confirming the
reports to that effect which have been
in circulation during the week. Itisno
secret that this has been done 10 retali>
ate upon the Pennsylvania railroad CON-
psny, for not taking of its fast train, at
the command Of Mr.. Vanderbilt. The
real importance Of the movement, how.
ever, extends beyond passenger fares,
the public accepting it rs a speedy re-
duction in freights also; in other words,
the commencement of another trunk
railroad war, which may send some Of
them into bankruptcy.
The mere possibility of such q thing,
1t is needless to say, seriously Affects
many important financial and business
enterprises, fact which explains, in
good part, the vide interest which the
Lake Shore action has excited. There
IS some reason for believing that the
real object OF Mr.. Vanderbilt's Journey
to England Was to make such arrange
ments with the steamship companies as
will enable his railroads TO carry freieh;s
at cheaper rates than any other compl-
ny can afford, and that the break, now
with Colonel Scott, is but part of his |
plan TO free himself from existing en-
gagenents with that and other compe~ |
ting lines. When this theory was first
projected, it was secuted at; but in the |
light of what is now taking place, it has
TO say the least OF it, AN air of strong
probability. Mr.. Vanderbilt will be
home ON the 10Th Of this month and any
explanations he may then condescend
to make, it is needless TO add, will be
eagerly received by the business COM
munity, who are in no mood to fall in
with his ambitious scheme thus to make
his great corporation supreme by crush
ing out, or trying to crush out, his COM
petitoIs.

II is aqueer revolution in politics thal
reyerses parties and moi leaders. The
st. Louis Republican claims that Mr
Hayes is supported by the Democrats
and opposed by the Republicans. In its
own words, "The victors and the van
quished have changed places, almost
without knowing it. The Democratic
party has not been demoraliZed and dis
inteRrated by the installation Of Hayes
but the Republican party has. Demo
Gratis are very well satisfied with the
present and the future Republican are
dissatisfied with both" This seems to
be about the truth, at least so far as re-
CARDS Hayes Southern policy. We have
heard some pretty strong language from
Democrats about the theft of the Presi>
dency, but nothing as strong as the
abuse and profanity Republican office
holder once poured into our cars about
the recognition of Nichols and Hamp.
ton. He wanted a sympathizing audi
tor and we credited the epithets to the
electoral miscount, where they properly
belonged.
