A CLERICAL SCANDAL IN TEXAs-The Rev.
q. ". Veal, one Of the best known clergymen in
Texas, who was chaplain OF the Texas house of
GOV. IhTockmorton, is accused of ALTERNATING
feloniouS assault upon Mrs. E. H. Griffin, the
wife OF an intimate friend. Veal acknowledges
that he was IN the habit OF kissing Mrs. Griffin
without her husbands consent, but denies the
more serious accusation. and his friends allege
that Mrs. Griffin, ''from some sudden peryer-
sion OF her moral feelings supertnduced by her
pecula condition, gives Gtterance 10 mere hal
fluctuations. This physiological hypothesis
does not make an impression on the simple
minded Texans Veal is under arrest, and the
opinion based not only on Mrs. Grif1in'S oath,
but on Mr. Neal's statements, is blasting to his
pioGS pTetenceS.

THE REMARKABLE INTOXICATING EFFECT OF
nitrous oxide or laughing gas on the animal sys-
TEN is known to be largely utilized by The den
tai surgeon for producing a temporary insensi-
bility. The effect is very transient, and is not
followed by depression. The gas. however, as
ordinarily used, must not be reSpired for long
as process OF asphyxia goes on. The we'll
known French physiologist, NJ Paul Bert, has
lately sought way OF employing this agent for
CURED for more important surgical cases, and
LIE has discovered that with the gas under pres
sure this may be effected. His experiments
thus far indeed, have been only on some lower
animals, but the results may probably be taken
as applying to the human system as well After
few Inspirations in compressed atmosphere
containing one-SiXth OF nitrous oxide, a dog was
thrown into deep anntheSia. The heart con-
t1nued to beat and the temperature was nor
nal. NJ. Bert maintained this state q whole
hour. On admitting ordinary air to the lungs
at the end OF this time the ordinary functions
were seen to be restored after the third inSpira-
ton. SenSibility returned, and Herewith ac-
tivity, and even vivacity.

LIES NITALfTY--Hhat Baron HunlbolW Did
Not SG5. bit HhGt Needy Netr York Write, Did
Somebody. says the IribwHe of New York. has
revived the old story about Baron HumbOldt'S
having described MI. Bayard Taylor as a man
Who had travelled more and seen less than any
ether person he had ever heard Of. The rene
titi0n df this story at this particular time curl
Dusty Illustrates the vitality Of lie if il be only
malicious and witty. Baron humboldt never
said anything OF the kind. He took some
pains TO assure Mr.. Taylor, and to assure
many others, that he had never thought
or said this, or anything resembling
It, and had never heard Of ii until it came 10
MN from America. He emphasized afterwards
his cordial regard for Mr. Taylor, and one OF the
pest descriptions we have OF his later DAYS is to
be found in the account given by Mr.. Taylor OF
MS last visit to the baron. SO much for the facts
Now Tor the origin OF the story. A month or two
before 1t 1lrSt saw the light in an American
newspaper, rather seedy New York writer
addressed note to Mr.. Taylor requesting
from him the gift of a complete set OF his
WORKS. This amounted at that time even at
wholesale rates. to a request for a gift of $40
or 500; and Mr.. Taylor, whose means were then
limited, and who knew Of no sort of claim which
the applicant had upon him for such a courtesy
declined. The applicant was enraged and
60asted that he would pay Mr.. Taylor for what
re conceived TO be an affrOnt. Within fort
night he coined this story and set ii af1oat The
man has long been dead, and there is no Occa-
sion for fastening his dirty trick now to his
graveStone; but the facts have been SO well
known for many years that 1t is surprising to
see the Old calumny coming up agai n.

.'EVangeline," the burleSQue, is the Lame
Fisherman" lie is In every scene of the play
but has no relation to the other characters of
the story. and does not utter word His gro
tesqueness of looks and actions make him com
1cal and bis utter abSurdity is what the audi
ence laughs at. The success OF the "Lame
Fisherman led the authors of ''Evangeline" to
uy similar pantomimic feature In their next
b,lrlesque, .'iifawatha." They resolved to intro
duce TWO men, who should cross the stage in
every scene as pedestrians engaged in a COM
pttitiYe walk through the country. Like the
:. -, Lame Fisherman they were to say nothing
Two clever pantommists were engaged, and
they set themselves about deYislng laughable
pecullai1tieS OF gait, and exaggerated express
sions OF fatigue, lalneness, and so On. lila
Watga' was put on the stage in Boston. and
went very wei except as TO the pedestrians, at
whom NOBODY laughed. Why they did not
excite mirth it would be hard to tell. They
walked for one evening only, and "HfaWatha''
has since been played without them.
Mr.. G. oRcET, in o recent pamphlet published
in Paris upon agrailan socialism In Italy. dis
cusses the possibility of preventing in that
country the terrible convulsion which over
threw the old French regime. He thinks that
it cannot be avoided. In a description OF peas
ant life he illustrates the condition of the daily
labolerS OF Calabrta. Until the age of g. he
says, the young Calabrian guards pigs and
sheep and takes care Of the dOnkeyS. He then
works In the fields and gains eight cents day
AT 10, he gains fourteen cents; at 20, seventeen
cents and what soup he needs, Or twenty five
cents without soup; He then thinks OF marry
ing, and lives with his wife in one-story hut
with an earthen floor. the light to which gen
orally comes by the door. If there should
chance to be a window, it has neither glass nor
shutters: His bed is Of straw, and his food of
the simplest description, without meat or wine.
AN AMUSING GAME.-A little girl writes to st.
Nicholas this description of game they play
where She lives:-A makes B, C, d and E sit
down IN q row with their backs toward him
Then standing behind BIS CHAIR he ways his
head, or scowls and threatens an unseen foe
with his fist, or makes some comical gestures at
the same time asking B this question: What
am doing?" If BIS answer is right, A leaves
him and tries c, and so on, all along the line
But whoever guesseS wrong must initiate lust
what was doing when putting the question:
only in perfect silence. OF course, very few
give the right answers. and it is funny to see q
whole row of boys and girls busily making all
kinds OF queer motions and odd grmaceS OF
posed like some statues in sublime and ridcll-
lOuS positions Five minutes Is long enough fol-

BIG CLANS FROM LONG IsLAND.-Captain John

hundreds of bushels OF these clans, which
were washed ashore in the Late gale. We nave

AGRICULTURAL.
Agriculture in Great Britain.

Returns to the secretary OF the English
Board of Trade for this year, which are very
full and voldminous show that for the year
ending June 4, the people in England as in
Illinois hesitat d to give returns thinking
that they were intended as basis for tax
alton. It should be needless to remark that
there is no connection whatever between the
two. From the returns we condense as fol-
lows: The total quantity of land returned in
1878 as under all crops, bare fallow and grass.
amounted, for Great Britain to 1856, 600
acres. For Ireland the returns obtaipeI by
the register-seneral show total of 1885,
900 acres, and tor the Isle of man and Chan
mel Islands the totals are respectively SO, 223
acres and 30, 439 acres. Thus for the whole
of the United Kingdom the cultivated area
in 1878 was 1892, 900, acres. exclusive of
heath and mountain pasture land, and of
woods and plantations. In Great Britain the
area returned as under cultivation has further
Increased by 142 600 acres siRce 1877, and by
more than 1, 100000 acres since 1869. two
thirds OF this Increase. or Loaf 900 acres,
being in England, $4,000 in Wales, and
252,0O0 acres 10 Scotland. In Ireland there
Is further decrease OF $4,000 acres in the
cultivated area, last years decrease having
been nearly 10000 acres.
The wheat crop of the United Kingdom
aggregates 8. 1882, 900 acres. Under the head
vi corn crops, small grain, beans, etc., the
Kingdom for 1873 had II 200, 900 acres. This
Is ,000,0 900 acres less than in 1869.
The small area cultivated in fax iu England
is about tine same this year as last. In Ire
land this area has declined to very consider
able etxent. Hops in England show a small
increase, the area planted being $4,000 acres.
Agricultural horses have increased in mum.
bers, but not so but that 30,54 were impor-
ted In 1877. and $1,000 for the first eight
months OF the present year. The falling off
OF horned cattle in 1877 has not continued
this year. The number OF mich cows is the
same, and other cattle show an increase of
OF lper cent, Pigs have declined per cent.
In England and ID per cent. in Ireland sheep
have also declined In number. owing it is said
to the favorable season for fattening earlier
than usual. Lambs show an increase of 3
per cent, the lambing season being reported
as favorable almost everywhere. American
