THE CURSE OF BEAUTY.
Troy l,ress 10Th.

Troy Iress 10th.
Elizabeth Hogart, alias Copeland, is the
name Of a woman who was sentenced at the
session of Saratoga county court yesterday
at Ballston to two years Imprisonment at
the Sing Sing state prison ON the charge Of
stealing articles from the summer residence
Of james Il. Littcll, of New York, at S ara
toga. This unfortunate woman, although
yet quite young, has passed thu, ugh MAJ y
vicissitudes of life. The great curse of her
life was her beauty of form AID feature,
which is yet a distinctive mark. She was
born in Saratoga county, Of good family,
and when quite young was married, but not
very happily mated. Introduced into 8 ,ciety,
her beauty drew crowds of admirers about
her, and in a weak moment she was beguil-
ed from the path Of right by the voice of
the tcmpter. From the first wrong step her
course. has been steadily downward. She
has been a lobbist at Albany and a pampered
mistress of some Of the wealthicst state SEN
ators, and in one instance at least would
have been comfortably settled for life had she
but been true to hcr"lriend." 1t is no great
graduation, but still it tends downwards,
when from the kept mistress she became in
turn the head Of Il bagnio in Saratoga, and
as such a procureas, and at last a thief and
now a sentenced criminal. WHAT will be
the next chapter in her history?

THE RIVERSIDE A
After an.Apparant Failure 1t Occurs

Toronto, July 31.-After considerable
ing at last consented to act, and a row boat
being in readiness he was soon taken on
board the judges boat, and at 4:45 she
steamed down to Terryburn cave. The sig
nal to come out was at once sounded, and in
three minutes Boss was in his boat. Hanlon
appeared two minutes later and received
loud cheers from the crowd on the judges
boat. At 5 o'clock the men were given in
structions and ordered into line. The
water was in good condition, when at s min.
utes past 5 the men were sent off, Hanlon
being inside. Ross took the lead and struck
out vigorously, pulling 80. Hanlon follow
ed at the same pace, pulling q longer stroke,
soon got even and before he reached Ap.
pleby's wharf had passed Ross. Above the
wharf Hanlon was pulling 80 and going
along beautifully, Ross following at 80
strokes. Three hundred yards from Apple
by's Ross boat was seen to cap. ize and for a
minute it was feared he had been drowned.
He was soon seen, however, clinging to his
boat, and a skif went and picked kim up.
Ross the spring of the row.lock worked out,
and he upset, breaking the box of the boat.
Hanlon meantime went up the course, taking
his time, however, and went around the
stake boat at 6:38. On his return he showed
some fine rowing, but did over exert him
self.
The accident did not appear to do Ross
any harm. At the judges boat he wa very
%reticent, but feeling badly over the way he
lost the race. He says the boat got in bad
condition soon after the race started, and he
was watchingthe boat and not Hanlon.
General regret was felt at Ross misfor-
time, but the prevailing opinion was tina lie
was overmatched. Appleby's wharf is three
quarters Of a mile from the start. Hanlon
was a length ahead. Ross struggled game

LAWRENCE CoUNTY's CoNvEN.
TON.


A Deadwood telegram of July Both nn-
nounces the result Of the Lawrence county
republican convention to be the election Of
twenty delegates to the territorial congress.
ional convention, who are instructed by res.
olution to urge the nomination of Judge
G. G. Bennett as the candidate Of the party
for the office of delegate to congress This
action Is in conformity with the predictions
Of the Dcadwood Times of July 25lh in an
article commenting upon the result of the
caucuses. Upon this subject the Times
says:
The vote at the primary elections last
evening established and satisfactorily settled
two points: First. the ability of the repub.
licans to carry this county this fall, and sec
ond. that the delegation to the territorial
convention shall. support the nomination for
congress of Judge Bennett.
The Lawrence county primaries were
attended by large crowds of votes, great
interest having been engcndercd by
the contest between the Bennettites and the
anti Bennettites. It was a square issue b.
tween those two elements and Judge Ben
nett's victory is Il conclusive indication Of
the position to be taken by Hills repub-
licaas in influencing the action of the con-
%vention. The Times further says:
The anti Bennett ticket was advocated by
its friends on the ground that the ticket was
for the nomination of Judge Kidder.
The construction of the foregoing sentence
is somewhat ambiguous, but its logical inter-
probation, connecting it With the balance of
the article, is that the anti Bennett element
Of Lawrence county was favorable to Judge
Kidder. The latter is therefore weakened
In proportion that Judge Bennett is
strengthened by the result of the Lawrence
county convention. Bennett now stands before
the party as the only aspirant with a certain
following. The Lawrence county conven.
ton is the only one yet held aud its pos.
tive instructions will have an eject upon
other county conventions to follow. Pen
nington and Custer counties are certain to
60 for Judge Bennett almost unanimously
and this will give to him the entire Black
Hills delegation of Twenty-Five votes. The
Northern Pacific region will also be affect
cd by this action and will develop a consi
derab!e strength, for Judge Bennett. Col.
L~ounsberry's chances are all swept away
and Judge Kidder himself will there suffer
in consequence The Hills will exert y larger
influence Over norfhern Dtknia (w,ih -.

Why We Have Hot Weather.

The sun was in apogee and the earth
in aphelion this morning at "a minutes
after o'clock; that is, the earth reached
the part of her orbit in which she is at
the greatest distance from the sun. For,
strange as it may seem, the earth is now
three millions of miles further from the
sun than she was on the 1st of last Jan
uary. Taking the most approved esti-
nation of the suns distance, and using
round numbers to express the same, the
distance between the sun and earth is at
present ninety-three millions of miles,
while in mid winter the two bodies are
ninety millions of miles apart. The
question naturally arises as to the reason
why we do not have the coolest weather
when the sun is farthest away. This is
easily explained, for the suns rays fall
perpendicularly upon the earth in mid
summer, and obliquely in mid-winter;
the intensity of the heat far overbalanc-
ing the difference in the distance. The
summerheat is, however, tempered by
the greater distance Jf the central fire,
for in the southern hemisphere, where
the sun is in perigee at midsummer, the
heat is intensified, and the temperature
is higher in Australia and Southern AT:
RIGA than in corresponding latitudes
north of the equator. 1t is well we
were not living about thrty-six hundred
years before the creation of Adam for
the SUI was then in perigec during the
northern summer, and in apogee during
the northern winter. Sir John Herschel
estimates that the northern summer at
that distant period of the worlds histo-
ry was twenty-three degrees hotter, and
the northern winter twenty-three degrees
colder than it is at present. Every in
habitant Of the north temperate zonc has
therefore reason to be grateful that the
sun is in apogee at this season, for what
would become of the poor mortals who
have been simmering in the intense heat
of the last five days if they were requir-
cd to bear temperature of from ten to
twenty degrees higher than the nine
ties, in which the thermometer has been
mercilessly reyeling?

Crop Review.

The New York HcraN has kilograms
from all portions of the country, and is
able, therefore, to give an accurate and
thorough review of tao growing crops.
The outlook is most satisfactory, and
everything promises cheap bread in 1879.
There is now under plow in the United
States an area of not less than 50,000,-
900 acres, being greater amount of
land under cultivation than ever before.
This land is principally planted in
grain. There is an increase of 2,000,-
600 acres planted in wheat over 1877.
The crop, moreover, is in a very prom
ising condition. The Coast States, Cali
tornia, Virginia, ETC., with the exception
of Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, Show
Il poor crop, but in all the Central and
Western States, the great wheat growing
States Of the Union, the outlook is grand.
Kansas, il is thought, will lead off with
45,00O,000 bushels, the largest wheat
crop by 80 per cent. ever raised in any
State of the Union.
Most of the other Western States show
an increase in the expected wheat crop
in Wisconsin this increase is estimated
at fully one sixth in Iowa, at one fourth
in Minnesota at three-tenths; in Ne
braska, at four-tenths. The condition of
the crops in these States is almost without
parallel. 1t is estimated that this coun-
try will raise between 990,000.000 and
420, 900, 900 bushels. Of this, 23j, j,000,-
900 is needed for home consumption,
$4,000, 900 Tor seed, leaving surplus of
from 1l0,0O0,000 to 140, 0,l00,0OO bush
els for export.
The wheat crop Of the rest of the
world this year is poor. The crop is
failure in Germany, Belgium and Hol-
land /; is behindhand in France, and is
poor in India. We will, therefore, send
larger amount of wheat abroad this
year than usual. 1t is impossible, how
ever, that we can ship as much as no.
900, 900 bushels.
There are 5O,000,O0O acres of land
planted with corn. The crop, therefore,
will be larger than last year. The other
grains, barley and rye, are of small i'm
portance, but Of these also the acreage
this year is larger than in 1877, and the
condition far superior.
Tobacco is the ouly staple that will
show III actual decrease in production
this year. The excessive crop of last
year and the small prices paid discouraged
the farmers, and the consequence is
decrease in the acreage planted in to-
bacco.
With this single exception, the crops
of 1878 will exceed those OF any preyi-
Gus year in the history Of this country.
