young lady named Matte Branham, from
Columbus Mo-, died in this city Wednesday.
She came to Minnesota for health, hoping the
air would relieve her, but the change caused a
relapse. Her mother and brother started for
home with the dead body last evening.
young lady, while driving horse and car
riage this morning, met with an accident,
which, but for the prompt assistance of the by
ISLANDERS, might have resulted fatally. At the
corner Of Nicolett and Washington avenue the
horse turned suddenly and upset the buggy,
throwing the young lady out and bruising her
severely.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5-The custom house investiga.
ton was continued to-day by further inquiries into
the mode of doing business. The deputy collector
having charge of the entries of all merchandise said
the only way to prevent errors in his department
would be to have extra set of entry clerks in busy
times. An officer of the division to facilitate
the collection of the revenue suggested the repeal of
the antimoety act, duty tea and coffee, and the
abolition of compound rates. Being asked: "What
by importers, the official answered: "Weu, if
had my way would abolish the whole system and let
the government take charge Of all imports for few
days, make up duties on them, and then say to the

Drought is the dreadful drawback to Aus.
lian life. 1t is the terror Of the sqnatter.
The New South Wales Agricultuqlst, under
date of January 26th, mentions how seriously
it impairs railroad extension. Forage for
horses can only be obtained at prices so ruin
Gus that contractors will not proceed with
work, the completion of which would mean
ruin. "On the Castlereagh and the Upper
Darling the work of destruction by drought
is nearly completed. Hot winds have set in );
herbage is consumed the late richly grassed
plains are now merely level tables of dusty
soil, over which scorching gusts travel incess-
antly, while hardened sky looks unrelent-
ingly down on the decimated herds and flocks
of half dead withered sheep" At such times
the settler begins to think that the moist eli
mate of his native Britain was not so bad

Resin AS u Beverage.

Neal Dow writes to the New York Tribune:
IA year ago l was in North Carolina, the
guest of Northern man, who had been there
many years. manufacturer of spirits of
turpentine and resin. He told me that the
latter is largely employed by the brewers to
be put into their beer, as provocation of
thirst The effect of it is to keep beer drink
ers constantly thirsty-'dry,' as their slang
phrase is-so that they are always ready for
a drink, and are never satisfied with the
drink except for few minutes This resin
manufacturer told me that he had sold as
many as 10000 barrels of resin in year to
one brewer. All of which goes into the
stolnachs of the beer drinkers, the effect
being to keep them in constant cotton
woolyness! The drinkers themselves call it
splitting cottonwood l was in the 'seizer's'
office in this city, on the day after this deci-
sion, and there was present 'saloonist,' who
had dealt largely in 'hop-lager,' and was Ia
menting that this great and honest industry
was so ruthlessly destroyed. told him the
story about the resin. and he said he had
taken from beer barrels pieces of resin as
large as hens egg. He made no conceal
ment whatever of this doctoring of the liquor
to produce incessant and tormenting thirst in
the consumers of it,"

Prolific Maize.

notwithstanding the immense production
of Indian corn in the United States, there is
a fair prospect of its being largely increased,
even though the acreage planted is not en-
larged. A new variety of maize, the result
of careful hybridization, has been brought
into the market, which. if all that is said is
true, will materially increase the product OF
this grain per acre. The stalks average from
eight to ten feet in hight, producing each
from four to ten we'll filled ears, averaging
from eight to ten inches in length. 1t is
called the improved prolific. is of the white
variety, and is susceptible Of being made into
flour resembling in taste and appearance that
made from the best wheat 1t ripens earlier
than the ordinary variety, and from the ex-
traordinary number of ears produced on the
stalk. the yield per acre is put at one hundred
bushels, where the cultivation is what it
should be. -

THE GRAZING LANDS OF MONTANA.

In Wilkes Spirit Of tile Times, March 9th,
General Brisbin has a very interesting article
on Seattle Growing Out West" In the
course of this admiralty prepared paper the
General cites high military and other good
authority in support of his glowing but not
overdrawn descriptive accounts of the graz
ing fields of the interior West and Northwest.
The Yellowstone and its tributary valleys are
especially mentioned, and the testimony of
Generals Myers and Bradley, whose official
reports are generously quoted from. fully sus-
tain the assertions of Brisbin. A brief ex-
tract from the article which we are unable to
print in full, gives a fair estimate of the
Generals views of Montana's inducements TO
stock growing and bis opinion of most i'm
portant and rapidly developing section of the
Territory. He says:
''Montana has, undoubtedly, the best graz
ing grounds in America, and parts of Dakota
stand next. The Yellowstone, Big Horn,
Tongue River, and Powder River regions
contain the maximum of advantages to the
cattle grower. Except on the Upper Yellow
stone no herds are yet located in Eastern
Montana, but in future the O'Connor's,

THE BELL PUNCH.

That Virginia is in bad way financially
there is but little doubt, and that her legisla-
tors are also equally bad off mentally will
soon be an established fact A year or so
ago, when the States purse began to be des-
perately pinched, the Moffet register law,
which imposed tax upon every cocktail,
whisky-straight or Bourbon.sour consumed
in the Old Dominion, (and there are good
many of them) was enacted, but although, rs
was to haye been expected in such fine old
community of such fine old fellows and gay
young men, the bell has been ringing for
whisky and taxes ever since. Virginia is still
woefully behind in her revenues and the
other day the Treasurer reported that all the
public funds in his possession did not exceed
one hundred and three dollars and some odd
cents. Virginia, however, is equal to the oc-
casion-when was she not ?-and one of her
lawmakers has introduced bill applying the
Moffet bell punch to the consumption Of ci.
gars; that is to say that every time man buys
a cigar the dealer must punch his bell and
pay the State certain tax upon the sale The
bill is said to have been received with favor,
and the arithmeticians of the Virginia press
are already estimating the income based upon
the internal revenue returns which will flow
into the treasury after the bill becomes law.
While they are about it why don't these finan-
ciers apply the Moffet register to plug tobac-
co and make the unfortunate victims of the
habit of ''chawing are good many
of them in Virginia, too-punch the bell every
time they take a chew. Or, to carry out the
idea to its natural sequence, why don't they
enact law attaching bell punches. to corn
cob pipes-more of them are smoked in Vir-
ginia than in any other State in the Union
and make the smoker register and pay tax
for every puff? If the Legislature of the
Mother of Presidents" will only do these
and two or three other things that naturally
suggest themselves there would be no trouble
at all about her raising sufficient revenue to
meet current expenses and to increase that
one hundred and three dollars and odd cents
now in her treasury to one hundred thousand
and three dollars and many more odd cents.

Correspondence St. Louis Post

Correspondence St. Louis Postl
have lately met with an octogenarian who
was acquainted with Beau Brummel when he
resided in squalor, neglected by his former
friends, in Calais. At that time the Beau
had fallen from his high estate, and his brain
was enfeebled. He was SO changed as to be
scarcely recognizable. Yet, amidst all his
imbeciity, Beau Brummel clung to his for
mer state, and his weak, almost idiOtic, mind
would conjure up phantasmagOric phantoms
of bygone fetes and receptions. Although
sunk ia abject poverty, he would order his
servant to be ready at O'clock to receive the
guests, and to have the apartment duly ar
ranged and illuminated. The servant had to
acquiesce in Beau's whims, and would an
nounce the arrivals. Often and often would
Brummel have this farce enacted, imagining
that all was real and 'hathe was transported
hack into those laaicy,'n days when creditors
harlassed him not. He would go through
the mock ceremony of receiving his guests,
would welcome and make his courtliest bow
to the phantoms of his brain. Then he
would hold imaginary coverse with them,
and the melancholy comedy would be ter
minated by the servant announcing the ar
rival of the carriages Of the respective guests.
Alas! poor Beau he deserved q better fate.
Cravats and coats were his Lares and Penates,
and in his palmY days he was more of king
than George, the First Gentleman of Europe,
whom he so mercilessly snubbed when he
inquired of a gentleman loud enough for the
Prince to hear, WHO was your fat
friend ?"
