"Don't ask me conundrums, but 90

swell, sir, I've been married to
this woman for five years. She's what
they call the melancholy sort. She sits

The Mississippi Pilot embraces the
present excellent opportunity to offer
the following remarks: Riots are pre-
vailing in many of the Northern States,
and the civil authorities are compelled
to call on the President for troops TO aid
in suppressing them In 1875 riots pre-
vailed all over this state. and men were
murdered by hundreds, the main object
being to kill and intimidate Republi.
cans, while the main object of the strik-
ers-or rioters-of the North is to COM
pei an increase or prevent decrease in
their wages; and if not interfered with
no lives are endangered. When the
riots prevailed in this State and Gov.
Ames called on the President for troops,
a great cry went up from the sentimen-
tai and dough- faced Republicans of the
North not to send them: "Let him call
ont his militia and suppress his riots"
This time the shoe is on the other foot
and the sentimentalist's money and
property are in jeopardy, and we ven
ture to say that in nine cases out of ten,
they are the first to cry for national in
reference, for they are the last ones to
endanger their lives or money by trying
or aiding in suppressing the riots"
They now cry: "Give US soldiers to pro-
tect our property" but when Republican
lives were endangered and their rights
were being taken away, they cried, "Do
not interfere; let them call out their
amiliti and protect themselves"

THE Kansas City Times of Wednesday
has the following telegraphic despatch
dated Garrett, August l4th: g.,
The remains of an unknown man
were found in Rich township, Anderson,
county, six miles south of this place,
yesterday. The body was in q wagon
which had been drawn into ravine by
horses. The horses we're pitched to the
wagon but dead and partially decayed.
They had evidently starved to death, ~
they had eaten all the grass and shrubs
within their reach. The mans body was
very much decayed, but there was .
bullet hole through his clothes which
convinced the jury that he had been
murdered. There was g. 80 in silver on
his person, also revolver, . rifle and
Barlow knife. The team consisted of Q
dark bay with three white spots on left
side. and bright bay with star in fore
head. There was nothing to identify the
man.
The Times reporter il mistaken in re-
gard to the distance to the locality
where the body was found. Rich town.
ship is in the southeastern corner of An
derson County, and the ravine in which
the discovery was made. is about eigh-
teen miles southeast of Garrett. We get
this information from persons living in
the locality.

Topeka, Kansas, l3.-The July
monthly report of the State Board Of
Agriculture is ready for distribution, and
is of great value. There was about
$4,000 acres more in wheat than in 1876,
yet the crop of this year is 954, 2S7 BUSH
els less than that of last year. Taking
the report of the agents of the Board,
wheat averages Is bushels to the acre,
the report believes that as that estimate
was made in some instances too soon, it
is too high. and that thirteen bushels
the average. On that basis the
crop this year is 1866, 93S bushels
The report gives the acreage in each
crop and the increase or decrease COM
pared with last years crop. It also gives
for the first time the total valuation of
all crops and stock for 1876. The
increase in the products of cheese from
March LIST 1876, to the same date in 1877,
is 360. 282 pounds; in butter 1885,, 638
pounds; in wool 1880 pounds. The
valuation of live stock and products of
live stock exceeds the total valuation of
all the field and garden products by
nearly five per cent.

TIE CASE OF ADELlNA- -PATT1~-The French nSWspspers contain the complaint of Patti against her husband and his re-. ply. SheZ alleges that her husband, M. Louis Sebastian Henry de Cahuzac, Mar quis of Caax, has treated her in a shame ful manner, going so far as to infict a
 bts and loving disposition, he is jealous and unsympathetic. That he regarded her simply as gold mine; that he refus- cd to allow her to wear mourning for her father, to attend church or enjoy any liberty; that he has frequently said, tsCur.. sed be the day that Imarried a strolliue actress, like You;" that he claims to have taken her, from the mud, and that when she asked regarding the income she was earning. he replied. "Sing, and don't meddle with the rest. The sMarquis on the other hand denies all these alleea- tions'and charges her with infidelity. al- luding to Nicolini. and asserts that she is unworthy of the care and tenderness which he has given to her. The order of separation, it will be remembered, was in favor of the Marquis. As they. were mar red without q contract, the separation decreed. carries with it division of their wealth. which is said to have accumulated to nearly two millions oi frances. one-haf of which the Marquis will take. As they have been married nine years. the fortune which the husband takes may be consld- cred ample Fecompense for all his seryi. oes. This marriage was one of Empress Eugenies making, and it has terminated as was then predicte d. rl1 1.4a
