RAIN RE. GINS.
A Wet aud Backward Season In Germany
Grain Badly Lodged and Damaged.

A Wet aud Backward Season In Germany
Grain Badly Lodged and Damaged.
New York, Aug. 6.-The Eoening Post
has private letter from gentleman in
Eastern German, who SAYS: ssThere has
been this Summer nothing but rain nearly
every day. The Thermometer in my room
ranges from 60 to Is, degrees. In some
places harvesting has begun, but unless we
have some warm, dry weather soon, much of
the grain must rot in the field. On our way
recently to and from the mountains, BY two
different routes, observed that at least half
of the wheat we passed was laying fat and
tangled in the field, broken down by daily
rain storms. All will ue difficult to cut and
much must rot or spoil before it can be Sc
cured. Adding to the immense amount Of
grain and other food crops destroyed by in
undations last month, it looks as if America
would be called upon to feed Germany as
well as England and France next winter.
The accounts from Russia are also not very
encouraging. OF rye the crop will be below
an average. In Podolia and Valhyria the
yield of rye will be very light. In the gov
eminent of Pnltowa, noted for its usually
large yield Of rye, the prospects are little
better, although the harvest will not equal
that of fairly good year. The outlook for
wheat is slightly better in some govern
ments, but in Kief there are some fields that
will scarcely repay the labor of harvesting !;
in short, the entire yield Of breadstuffs will
fall considerably below that of last year.

SHERMaN,S MISTAKE.

Among the sufferers by Sherman's fnan-
oial policy, none will take their grievances
more to heart than the national banks. For
many years these institutions have been the
most favored by the government. They had
come to regard themselves as the especial
wards of the nation, entitled to especial priv
,,eg-s. These privileges had been accorded
to them by Mr.. Sherman, and it is possible
hat he did not take in the full significance
If his action in refunding the debt in the
manner he pursued. Or, perhaps, his per-
sonal relations with one or two banks in
New York induced him to sacrifice the others
three thousand or more in number, upon the
altar of personal cupiditN He has succeeded,
whatever his motive may have been, in in
aicting very serious injury upon the great
mass of the banks.
BY giving to the New York syndicate the
privilege of purchasing large mass of the
four per cent. bonds Mr.. Sherman, perhaps
unconsciously, did a great injury to the ma
tonsl banks. All OF them had called bonds
on deposit as security for their circulation
bearing six per cent. interest. The syndi.
cate, however, had gathered in the four per
cents. for which they were e1changeable, SO
that they were not to be had, except at an
extortionate premium. The consequences
has been that the banks have preferred to al
low their bonds to remain, without drawing
interest, rather than pay the premium ex-
torted, in the hope and expectation that the
corner on four per cents will be soon
broken.
Mr.. sherman started out with the view of
assisting the national banks, and with the
"vowed purpose of making national bank
currency the only paper currency of the
land. He has made a mistake, probably not
of intention, but it is nevertheless costly
one to the national banks. 1t makes no
difference to them whether they pay tribute
to the general public or to syndicate of
bankers. The fact that they are bled is
sufficient for them. They may take comfort
from the fact that one of their own kin is
bleeding them, yet that comfort will be
Ii sht.
Mr.. Sherman, if appealed to to-day, would
acknowledge that he had made mistake.
he desired above all things to secure the
support of the national banks to his Presi-
Dental aspirations. They would have proved
q valuable aid, but he can derive little G. M
fort from q contemplation of the results
thus far manifest from his policy. While
be has secured the active support of half a
iozen capitalists he has estranged the bulk
# the moneyed men of the country, for he
'as favored few at the expense of the
many.

THE CIRCUIT JUDGsH1P.

OM0De DtALOnS Resignation Cannot be Re.
catted-Justice Miller Will Not Perror.,
the Duties of the Circuit, and 1lcCra,.y
Wtt Not Until Confirmed.
Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
The statement to the effect that an ar
rangement had been made by which Justice
Miller, of the United States supreme court,
will hold the circuit court in the Iowa cir
cnt for six weeks after the retirement Of
Judge Dillon, in September, is not correct
Justice Miller has not made any such ar
rangement, and probably will not. He has
just returned from Colorado, where for some
SIX weeks he has been engaged in the
trial of the very important suits in which
the Denver & Rio Grande and the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad companies were
parties. From this work he returned quite
exhausted, and, after stopping in this city a
day or SO during which time he had a con-
ference with Senator McCrary) he started
with his family for Block Island, where he
hopes and expects to stop until the October
meeting in Washington of the United States
supreme court.
1t will be remembered that last year JUS
tice Miller vas extremely ill, that his life
was endangered, and to save it he was com
PEELED to submit to q hazardous and danger
GUS surgical operation. He, however, took
bis seat on the United States supreme bench
at the beginning of the fall term, last Octo-
Der, and regularly attended to the very la
borious duties of that bench until the sum-
mer vacation. he then wentlon circuit duty,
and instead of having light duty for two or
three weeks in q healthful atmosphere, he
was Immediately compelled to preside over
the complicated railroad case referred to
during an intensely hot season. The conse-
quence is that Justice Miller is greatly in
need of rest, and it is not probable that he
will feel it prpoent for him to attempt to do
circuit duty in September, and to fill the va
cancy created by the retirement of judge
Dillon, and by the failure of Secretary Nc
Crazy to be confirmed. It will be quite an
easy matter for the lawyers of the Iowa cir
cult to secure the services of some other
United States judge in this emergency. The
name of Judge Treat has been mentioned,
and perhaps the department. of justice may
suggest that he assume the duties of that
circuit until December. .
One'thing is certain: McCrary will not
enter upon the duties of judge of that court
prior to his confirmation. He told his friends
that under the circumstances, he thinks that
it would be unwise for him to do 40. OF his
ultimate confirmation there is said to be no
doubt. ssa
Another thing is certain; Judge Dillon
nothing that Judge Dillon himself or the
President can do can continue him in Office
after that date. The suggestion that has

A Modern Sampson.

The Hon. Samuel Clark. of Horizon.
Wis, told correspondent these stories
about q half-breed named Pauquettc,
who i still living and who thirty: years
ago was called the Sampson Of Wiscon-
sin: =.
must have known Pauquette rs long
ago rs 1880. You see, Panquette, who
is q half-brced, used TO make the vicinity
of the old Fort Winnebago his head
quarters. and every now and then. us
occasion happened. we would see some
new evidence of his wonderful powers
of endurance or strength. He was not Il
heavy man, or, rather, is not, for he is
still alive, but was quite slim, although
his arms and legs were big with muscles.
almost dislike to give instances of lis
tr;,ts, rs | remember them, they seem so
incredible. The first remarkable eXcr-
ton l ever saw Panquette make was to
take IN iron weight that had been used
us q pile-driver, and lift it clear from
the ground and swing it around more
easily than l could handle 4 hundred
pounds, and | have got muscle myself.
Quite crowd of us saw him do it, and
we got the exact weight of the iron: it
was $500 pounds. don't believe L
man has ever lived who cauld do il. en-
ccpt Pauuuette, and | declare he didn't
seem to exert himself much either. One
day party was proceeding by boat up
the Fox, intending to go down the Wis
cOnsin. When the portage came to be
made, q yoke of oxen was procured to
draw the boat across. The boat was
very heavy, and before half the distance
| had been made one Of the oxen gave out
completely. Pauquette was along, and
what do you suppose he did? We'll, he
took the end Of the ropo vacated by tic
played-out OK and pulled against the
other OK, and the novel team hauled the
boat across all right, and Pete didn't
seem to mind the strain half as much us
the old OK did. Now, I know that
! Iese assertions seem like rather tough
yarns.
His muscles were like iron in their
hardness. have had him bare his arm
to me and | have taken n hammer and
cracked hickory nuts upon the muscles,
and it was like cracking them on q stone.
One feat that l know of Pauquette's S
doing, and to which there were num-
ber of witnesses, seems so absolutely i'm
possible that no one will believe the
story if tell it, but it is true, true as
iltc.
Well, it happened at Cream Bay.
Everybody up that way had heard of
Pete;s power, and was anxious to see
some evidence of it. The Samson
had friend who kept grocery store,
and in the evening quite a crowd gath
cred there in hopes of seeing IN eXhibi-
| ton of strength. PauQuette came in in
his quiet way, noted the crowd and took
in tie situation at glrnce. A barrel
of hickory nuts sat by the counter, and,
without word, he took up handful OF
the dry, hard nuts, held them out so al
could see, and then crushed them tC
pieces by simply closing his hand on
them. just rs you or would crush q
| handful of birds eggs.
