The Burlington, kas., Patriot thus
tells farmers what to do with their corn ::
Our state is iull to overlooking with Il
big corn crop, and the question forces
itself on farmers painfully what is to be
done with it when it commands but 20
cents per bushel. Not 4 bushel should
be sold at these figures. when farmers
can avoid 1t. All surplus corn should
be fed to cattle and hogs. where it nets
from - cents to 5 per bushel. Not less
than million and half bushels OF corn
have been grown by farmers in our
county this year, and we hope to see it
all ted in this manner The county is
tull OF hogs. aud it is only necessary to
see the difference in price between corn
ana pork to see where the profit lies
Our advice to farmers Is to part with nc
corn, but gather up cattle and hogs and
teed. Fat cattle and hogs in this coun-
try net handsome profit in cash, while
/ 20 cent corn has no ecouomy in il.

A SAN FRANCISCO TRAGEDY.
A HORRIBLE SUNDAY MORNING SCENE IN
. A HOTEL.
San Francisco Mail. 7th,

Yesterday forenoon, about ten o'clock,
the guests of the International hotel,
Nos. '624 and s26 Kearny street, were
startled by the report of a pistol. There
was general rush to tho second story
of the house whence the sound came.
Smoke was seen coming through the open
window of one of the inside rooms. Be-
fore any one could enter the pistol was
discharged again. The door was found
to be unlocked, aud the people who en-
tered were confronted by horrible
scene. A man, his head in pool of
blood, lay upon the floor, and across him
was stretched the body of woman.
Hewas breathing his last in unconscious

Alas! she is no moro

On the other shore.
Tho afflicted one uneasily took a chew

But here's one thing that spiles it. Marier
hadn't any more mleody in her than an
old plow, and it's deliberate lyin to
speak other as 8 vocalist. None of them

Physicians were in vain.

dispatch of August 18th says:
The Times's Bellary correspond
dent, describing the awful effects o
the famine in southern India, says
the great bulk of the people are
now emacia:ed, their ribs are stick
ing out in pain!u. prominence, and
their skins covered with a dirty
rocking desquamation of cuticle,
described in the Irish famine OF
1861, hy DR.. Donovan, as a "pe.
cu!iar famine eruption. If we
look at the thousands Of people
collected on the relief works, these
famine-marks are Of almost univer-
sal prevalence. The superinteLd.
ent Of the relief operations in Adoni
reports that thejourney over one Of
his roads resembled q path of tho
great battles in numbers of the
dead and dying. If the people had
been smitten by local outbreaks Of
cholera in ordinary times they
would have fed from tho works
and never returned, but so severe
is the pressure tor food that none
could afford to leave the works and
lose their pay even for a single
day.

A HUNT FOR AN EPITAPH.

He was country-looking chap, with
an odd mixture of sorrow and resignation
on his lean countenance, he dropped up
on the startled advertising clerk with
the mysterious whisper Of
"She's gone!'
"Who's gone? ?" asked the clerk.

"Who in thunder's Marier:'
"My wife; she's gone."
"Gone herew

''What allied her."
"Lock.jaw. She lay for three weeks
and couldn't speak. Never had such u
quiet time in the house before. Just do
the notice up fine, will you, and I'll sea
that everything is fixed up all right"
Accordingly the clerk scribbled away
for moment, handed out what he had
written for inspection, and curtly re-
marked
"Dollar thirty-tive.'
The bercaved husband read it over
carefully, and finally gave u sigh of
satisfaction.
''That's all right" said he, handing
over the required specie, "but I s'pose
you could put verse Oh the end, couldn't
you ?"
.Well. yes,' ruminated the clerk. ~
guess so; what kind of verse do you
wants W
"Sumthin' tender-like and sorrowful."
s'How would this do" asked the clerk,
scratching his head with the end of his
penholder:
A perfect female, folks did consider her;
She's gone and left a weeping widower.
'"That's kinder melancholy, reflected
the stranger, 'sbut I reckon it's le otle-
Just leetle-too personal. Just you try
again. I don't mind putin up hansum
for sumthin' that'n rake folks heart
strings"
The clerk gazed at the ceiling for q mo-
ment and then suggested:
The husband lost a wife,
The children ma;
Died on Friday night,
From the lockjaw.
"Yes," broke out the mourner, wiping
his nose on q black-bordered handker-
chief, "but don't own any young uns !"
"What do you think of this, then 7"
She always was contented,
At life she'd never carp,
Gone to be an angle,
And play on a golden harp.
"Don't believe that'll suit. You see

"I know" meekly replied the sweep
