Judge Trumbull, in speaking of the
means used by the Republicans IN the
late election, says: sThe contest of the
future will be between the aggregated
wealth of the country on the one side
and the people on the other. There is
no hope of overthrowing the Republican
party until that is made the issue. And
by the aggregated wealth mean the cor
porations. the national banks, the tariff,
and all that favon the moneyed power"

Mary Pyatt rejected John K Ar
nold's offer of marriage for long time,
at Kimberly, Pa, but he was persistent.
and at length che consented. There was
q great wedding, and the couple went off
on tour. After a week the bride re-
turned to her home, declaring that she
had no recollection of anything between
her last refusal of Arnold and her awak-
ening to find, to her great surprise and
displeasure,, that she was his wife. She
insisted that she was out of her mind dur
ing the interval, and declines to even see
her husband.
The minister of the United States at
St. Petersburg, Russia, in recent dis
patch to the department of State, draws
a gloomy picture of the present economic
and social condition of Russia. The
grain crop of the past season, he states,
has proved failure, and American wheat
is imported now even at St. Petersburg.
1t is also entering at Odessa and other
Russian ports. But a large market for
this American cereal cannot be predicted,
as very little bread made of wheat is
used in Russia. The mass of the people
must have cheaper article, such as rye
or Indian corn.
The great boat race between Hanlan
and Trickett came off last Monday on
the Thames. Hanlan won easily by about
three lengths, in 26 minutes and IL sec
onds. Trickett was i'll and haggard, and
at the close was much exhausted, while
Hanlan was perfectly fresh. He treated
the race throughout more as joke than
q serious undertaking, although Tnckett
did his best to win. Trickett's time was
2e minutes and 20 seconds Great excite
ment prevailed in Canada over the result
of the race. and the Governor General
and other dignitaries sent Hanlan con-
gratulations ON his success.
The finest sugar crop that was ever
raised in Louisiana is now being gathered
The yield will be fully fifty per cent. be-
yond the average. The use of proper
fertilizers and careful cultivation have
improved and increased the sugar as well
as the cotton crop in the South Hitherto
an average yield of one hogshead to the
acre has been considered good, bat this
year it will not be less than one and
half hogsheads. On some plantations
three hogsheads per acre are being gath
cred. The unusually large crop has had
the effect of reducing the price Of raw
sugar from one to two cents per pound
below the price last year.
= Charles Nathan, the agent sent to
Spain by the Louisiana planters to get
workmen, only succeeded in bringing
back some l24, as the emigration agents
for Cuba and South America circulated
the report among the simple Spanish
peasantry that they would be fed to alli-
gators on their arrival at New Orleans
These yarns will be contradicted, however,
when those now here, who are pleasantly
located and giving satisfaction, send back
reports of their actual reception. The
