Struck Dead,
From LlOyd's News. LONDON,

From LlOyd's News. London,
One of the most terrible instances of
a scoffer struck down in the moment
OF his blasphemy was revealed before
Mr.. Carter, ut the Bose and crown
tavern. Est street, Lambeth walk,
recently. The deceased was an en-
gineer, named Thomas Hudson, aged
81, who resided at "a Saunders street,
Lambeth. and had been employed at
Messrs. Mnudelay's for % years. He
returned home at q quarter past 5
O'Clock on Thursday evening and hsked
his daughtsr-in-law to get him an egg
from the fowl-house. On proceeding
into the yard be became excited, and
after using q fearful oath in reference
to his death, he ran into the parlor,
vomiting blood, and fell dead in the
arms OF female who had been nurs-
ing his daughter. DIR. Fall stated
that deceased did not say "God strike
me Dead" but he used words of
similar character, The jury found
a verdict of "death from excitement"
and the coroner's experience enabled
him to narrate "a parallel case. A
number of persons had assembled in
y tavern at Putney. when a man
charged another with taking from him
II twopence. The man after being ac-
cused. said. "Bfay God strike me dead
III did it, and be Immediately after
fell dead. On being picked up the
missing twopence was found firmly
cIutcbed in the deceased's right hand.
He would strongly advise men against
taking such wicked oaths.

what a CoIOred Editor Says.

The Chicago Conservative says:
Northern Republicans close their
factories in the face of the black man,
merchants refuse to hire him, mechan.
les refuse to labor with him, and COM
mon laborers will strike if he dare
intrude. The Southerner gives the
negro a place to work wherever his
ability fits him to serve. Factories,
farms, toundries and stores are fire.
quently managed by colored men.
The Southern man holds that labor is
the sphere of the negro and will help
him fill it, but the northerper will
feed him fat upon principle hut allow
him to starve to death in practice"

THE YELLOW FEVER,
NO Repetition of the Epidemic
Expected this Summer.


Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WARRINGTON, June 25.-High
medical authority here, including
members of the national board of
health, who have given the matter
constant and careful attention, and
are fully informed by medical experts
travelling in the South, are of the
opinion that the Southern states are to
escape a visitation of the fever this
summer. In the early spring there
was a great deal of alarm here about
it, more than got into the papers, but
this feeling has given way to the OPP
posite extreme, and now the chances
are considered altogether against re-
newal of last years visitation. Had
the spring months been fashioned pur-
posely to bring out the hidden fever
poison in the Soulful there is such
to bring out-they could hardly have
been better adapted to the purpose, as
they were essentially tropical spring
mOnths--hot and dry--the very at
mospheric condition that bring out the
fever in tropical chimes, when there is
any to bring out. This is regarded
as evidence that the disease is not,
any more than it ever has been, edo.
INVESTIGATED" in the United States, and |
that we are not to have it this summer i
or any other summer unless it is rein-
PRODUCED from the tropics, and that it |
can be kept out of this country entire
ly by proper system of quarantine,
such as the national board of health |
are putting in force this year.
The visitation last year was owing
to importation of the poison at New
Orleans, and unless there is a fresh
importation, fear of a renewal of the
fever is very slight, from the fact that,
even if the poison of last year has
kept over" it will not cause an cpl
demic, although it may be well
marked and perhaps fatal in a few in-
dividual cases.
The visitation of last year is con.
sidered the "high-water mark" of the
disease in this country, and many en-
inent medical men here do not believe
that it will again be repeated in our
time. That it should have reached
such high.altitudes as Gallpolis, Ohio,
and Chattanooga, Tenn, is considered
evidence of its exceptional ferocity
md strength of resisting what has
heretofore been natural barriers,
These however, were the highest
points reached by the plague last year,
he two places being almost identic-
lily the same in altitude above sea
evel. Chattanooga and Gallipolis
we're the "high water marks" reached
~ the disease, being the first time in
he United States that the fever was
pidemic at an altitude of over $50
eet above the sea. These two young
titles are about 675 feet above the
evel and Chattanooga is surrounded
y mountains from 1000 to 1900
Get higher, which is considered still
lore unfayorable to the spread of the c
isease, as Yellow Jack never climbs

THE DROUTH INTHE NORTH
WEST.
Unfavorable Accounts Of the
Growing Crops.
Chisago Correspondents Of the Kew York Com.
nercial Bulletin,

9EO~hnB OEORss
Chicago Correspondence Of the Kew York Com
nercial Bulletin.
The weather has been very dry al
over the Northwest during the pres
ent week. This has been, Of course, /.
favorable condition for the harvest O
the early winter wheat, with which
good progress has been made. The
general opinion now upon the open
ing of harvest is, that SO far as quail
ty Ia concerned the grain Is better
than last year. The most serious
damage this crop received was during
the severe weather in March and
April. So far as yield is concerned,
at present it is simply conjectural.
The reports received so far from Kan.
sas would indicate great falling off in
comparison with last season. As the
season advances the fact becomes more
and more apparent that the spring
wheat also has had about all it could
do to hold its own. Minnesota has
now for month had more rain than
all the rest of the Northwestern States
put together. This has not only
helped the wheat, but the weeds have
made great growth. AS one Of our
correspondents writes, "the drouth
combined with other causes, has In
jured small grain in this part of the
State (western) especially wheat, one
third Of a crop. The best filling can
only give us an average crop. The
only fact now which may bring up
the crop to a full one is that the i'm
mense acreage sown in the spring will
make up the loss from drouth and the
contingencies which may yet arise.
In Iowa very similar situation ex-
lists, with the difference that the rain
fall has not been so great. Some
counties also in Nebraska have been
suffering all the season for rain, and
crop yields will be reduced. In ILL.,
nois, except in the extreme northern
portion of the State, the drouth has
continued with great severity. Flax,
which was sown largely in the place
of oats this season, has been almost
ruined; not over eight inches high and
headed out" The Oat crop, as we
wrote in our last "Crop Bulletin" will
be the poorest for years. What there
is of it will have to be mOwn. There
is a very large portion of our State
this season, say one hundred miles
long and Fifty wide, comprising as 1T
does the choicest lands Of the State,
where the drouth has even up to the |
present writing held supreme sway.
The crops Of oats aud fax, meadows
and pastures will hardly pay for cut
ting. Corn is also an important crop
IN this region; In fact, the main de-
pendence. So far 1t has withstood
the drouth remarkably, but needs rain
now sadly. The peculiar feature Of
this season still prevails; one locality
having all the lain needed and the ad-
joining country perfectly destitute of
it. There has yet been no rain this
season which has fonnG its way down

A FEW WORDS TO THE PEOPLE.

A party should be judged as an individ-
Gal is; that is, by its acts and general rep
utation for honesty and integrity. The
history OF the Democratic party wherever
and whenever it has been in the ascenden-
cy is bloted all over with the most damn
ing evidences OF fraud, embezzlemeat and
corruption in its various forms. and the
exhibition which is here given uf the ma n
ner in which it has betrayed its trust in
the several counties Of this State where it
has been in power, is OF itself sufficient to
excite the most serious distrust in the
breast Of every honest and respectable citi-
zen who will stop to give the subject
moments serious consideration.
On the other hand, the escutcheon of the
Republican party, notwithstanding its al
most unlimited sway and power in this
country, is, comparatively speaking, free
from spot or blemish, and it is the only
party to day, as it has been in the past, to
which the people can go with confidence
when the life or integrity Of the Govern
ment is in danger.
These startling facts that have been pre-
semted appeal to the best citizens every
where, without regard to party; and, up
Oh the eve III an important election, let
each voter examine this record, and by it
answer for himself the questions:
l. What party has been the most
faithful to the trusts imposed upon it by
the people?
.. What party, then, is the safest to
trust
Read, examine, reflect and make such
answer a. becomes good citizen who re-
gards public integrity and honesty in
Office superior 10 party success.

the South have suffered terribly for the
sins their leaders were more directly re-
sponsible for;" that after all the greatest
fault of a large majority of them were
similar to the sins committed by the peo.
pie OF the North, viz that the better class
of citizens abstain from an active partci-
patton in politics, and thus allow the as
sassins, buldo1ers, gamblers and cut throats
to control political organizations in many
localities Further along in the same arti.

The reference made to that gallant band
OF slave drivers and secession howers
whose occupation was tarring and feather
ing union.m men who were citizens or home
guards in war; and soldiers or bulldoLers
in peace, forcibly calls to mind Gen. JEFF.

his band Of bushwhackers to come in and
surrender their arms 10 the ". s. Govern
ment. He damned them for being towards
never reporting, only TO draw rations
and accused them OF skulking in the
swamps until the moss had grown an inch
long on their backs.
These are the men who are controlling the

Democratic ticket ia the Northern States
is an encouragement for them to lersist
