One of the attorneys Of the Rich
mond Company has suddenly become
deeply SOLICITORS for the welfare OF the
Albion shareholders. After bringing
six or eight suits to recover disputed
territory, he complacently informs the
holders OF Albion that there is nothing
in the ground, and considerably adj
yises them to part with their stock. 1t
may be good time to sell: the Sentinel
has no advice to give on this point, but
it submits that the whole thing smacks
Of a desire on the part of the Richmond
to get control Of the Albion mlne' by
purchase. The advice may be good,
hut the taste is wretched.-,Soattnef.

Corn.

The corn crop throughout all portions
of Eastern and Northern Mississippi
and adjacent parts of Alabama, com
prising also an extensive area in north
Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, is
largely failure. From every section
of that region the reports from local
papers tell the same story, and attribute
the cause to the unusually hot weather
that burned the corn with intense heat
waves while no rain fell to give it vi
tally or strength to resist the excessive
and long-continued warmth. But what
was death and destrution to corn proved
benefit and vitalizer to cotton. The
failure of the corn crop, however, is
unfortunately very serious matter to
those planters who made an effort to
raise varied crop. Many of them are
greatly dishearted and disguised to an
extent that makes them threaten to
never try the experiment again. But
those who pursue such q silly course
will be vast losers in the future, for it is
not probable that such a peculiarly
phenomenal season as that of the pres
emit year will ever occur again. There
are many planters, especially in the
prairie country of Mississippi and Ala
bama, and alluvial bottoms throughout
all portions of the South, who have al
ways made all the corn they required
for their own use, and their failure this
season will not deter those wise persons
from trying again. These have proved
the value of diversified cropping, and
are not apt to give it up in despair be-
cause of one failure in an extraordinary
season like that of this year. As o
great many Of the planters in the South
have added stock-raising to their list of
farm industries, the loss of their coru
crop will have serious effect on that
enterprise; but next year holds out
hopeful promises, and they will act
wisely who act according to their hopes.

Aerial Navigation,

Step by step progress is being made
toward the fulfllment of the prediction
l.,ade for centuries by far-seeing minds,
that men would eventually be able to
journey through the air as easily and
safely as upon the earth. The recent
discovery of portable electric force
has awakened renewed interest in the
subject, and given @ronauts encourage
ment to hope they will ere long have
their anticipations fully realized. Many
of them believe, says the Liverpool
Post, that if balloon can carry with it
in aportable shape reserve force such
as Sir William Thompson found in the
famous box sent him from Paris, bal
looms can be fitted up with steering ap-
paratus that will enable the aronaut to
control their passage through the air
and 60 whithersoever he will, rather
than where the wind hsteth. A meet
ing of the Aeronautical Society is to
be held forthwith to discuss this new
factor.

Death Of an Old Printer In Texas.

A few weeks ago, an old and feeble
man stepped into the EEpress office ana
asked for work, saying he was aprinter.
He secured sufficient labor, "subbing"
for the regularly employed type settlers,
to earn living, and worked pretty
steadily until last week, when he was
taken suddenly i'll and died. His fell
low craftsmen attended his remains to
their long home. A trunk was left by
the old man, which was brought to this
office, and on being opened yesterday
il was found to contain large amount
of manuscripts and various literary
productions of the deceased. Also o
neat little box, which was opened, and
within which was found q badge OF the
national association of veterans, and
also beautiful and very large silver
medal, bearing upon one side the words
Presented by the city of New York to
Edward Schiller, Company D,-New
York Regiment OF Volunteers in Mex
ico." On the other side, "Cerro Gordo,
Chapultepec, Vera Cruz, Cherubusco. 4"
These are the points at which four OF
the greatest battles Of the Mexican war
were fought, and in which Edward
Schiller had honored himself as mem
Der of the New York regiment.
There were also in the box with the
medals numerous clippings from the
newspapers Of the country highly COM
plimenting Edward Schiller for work
on moral philosophy, which he pro-
duced while at Fort Scott, Kansas. The
criticisms upon the work, which was
the first book ever published in Kansas,
indicated that it was awell and thought
fully written and an instructive work.
And not until the old man died did 1t
become known that he had been man
of prominence in his day. He is sup
posed to have been a descendant from
a great German family of his name.
When he died there was no one present
who knew of his family or friends
abroad. He went away as he came
quietly-without any tale to unfold.

He, or his wife, owned river boat,
which was sold to the government, and

when he left New Orleans. He is re-
membered as quiet, industrious man,

A Large Sheep Ranch.

The largest sheep ranch in Texas
and probably the largest in the United
States is what is known as the Charley
Callaghan ranch in Encinal county. In
a San Antonio letter the writer says
that the number of sheep on this ranch
must be between $4,000 and 100000
head. The ranch was founded by
Charles Callaghan with nothing, and
before he died, he and his partner, Mr.
G. M. Macdonnel, of Laredo, had up
wards of $4,000 head of sheep and
several hundred thousand acres of land.
On his death his portion fell to cou-
pie of his nephews, one of whom, Mr..
Charles Star, is ct present superintend-
emit of the ranch and successfully car
rying on the lucrative business begun
by his uncle. As an indication of the
wool business of Texas, look to the
amount of wool shipped. The wool
trade of San Antonio has more than
doubled itself in the last two years.
From fair calculation it is estimated
that the shipments have amounted to
10000 0 pounds, and there is yet in
StOre uDOut OUO,UUU pOuuuS, iudhiu6 III
aggregate of 4,500,000 pounds of wool
handled here the spring season past.
Add to That 100000 to be handled,
and we have S,5OO,0OO pounds of wool
handled in San Antonio in 1881. Only
three or four years ago !, 0OO, 900 pounds
of wool was an incomprehensible guam
tity in the experience of the wool.buyer
of San Antonio. What will be the
wool-trade of this city a few years
hence? The sheep business in Texes
is actually only in its infancy. Ten
years from now men will laugh at our
boast of to-day. San Antonio is not
the only wool warket, and, in fact, it is
not the first, as Corpus Christi takes
that rank, and much wool is handled
in Austin, Waco, Forth Worth, Abeline
and other points in the State. Looking
at it in this light, am / not right in say
ing that wool-growing is one of the
most important and rapidly growing
industries in Texas, the great South.

PROMPT REPORT Mr.. Willard. when
at the Soand, told the people that the
branch road across the Cascades would
not be built for FIVE or eight years.
Whereupon, the legislature then in
session on the 2Sth ult, according to
the Transcript, took the following ac-
ton:
"a memorial, asking Congress to
compel the Northern Pacific to build
the road over the Cascades Immediate
ly or relnGuish the lands held by them
as subsidy, passed the House of Rep
resentatives yesterday morning, with
out a single dissenting vote. This ac.
ton justly represents the feeling of
tie people of the Territory. If they
will not build the road they should
give up the lands.
This is as it should be. If they do
not build, let Congrese transfer the
land grant 10 company who will
oulld at once, or 81 any rate take away
the land grant from that company and
another company will build the road.
Foolipg with the peoples rights, and
playing upon the credulity of tho un-
sagacious must sooner or later cease.
