Killed By a Kernal Of Corn.

An autopsy made by DR..
Ohnesorg a few days ago on the
body of a five year old girl OF
this city revealed singular
cause Of death. The child bad
been ailing for about three
weeks with an affection of the
throat. bat on the Cay Of her
death was around and seemed
to be improving. Soon after re-
firing in the evening she Was
taken violently ill with a convul-
sive attack, which soon ended in
her death, all medical measures
in the meantime proving of no
avail. The case was so mystic
rious to the family and the at
tending physician that it Was de-
cided to hold a post-mortem ex-
animation. This showed that
the source of the trouble was a
kei nal Of green corn, the point
Of which had lodged in the
throat just below the larynx.
There was slight CONGESTION a,
this place, but no other evidence
OF material injury. 1t was plain
to the doctors. however, that the
kernal had caused death by pro.
ducing irritation and a spasm oil

A Smart Scheme in the South.

The smartest railroad scheme
ever worked in the South mas
lust come to light. For months
past Gen. John B. Gordon, and
his brother, Maj Engene .. Tor
don aud Walter S. Gordon, with
Gov. Colqnit, have been project
ing railroad from Atlanta TO
Greenville or the Mississippi
river, and possibly to Texarkana.
Ia consideration of promise on
the part Of these gentlemen 10
build the road via Columbus and
Aberdeen, Miss, Columbus do
mated to them 100000 iu bonds,
and Mono, county, in which
Aberdeen is, $4,000 10 bonds.
To addition to this, owners OF
rich coal lands in Alabama,
through which the road Was to
pass, donated TO them 2O6O,OOO
acres. Not a dollar of capital
has been put 10 by the fortunate
quartette, but they have punched
these heavy donations with the
charter of the Georgia Western
railroad, owned by Gen. Gordon,
and transferred the whole to the
Georgia Pacific railroad com
pany, and will receive in return
$75O.O0O and twenty-nlne sew
enths of the 100000 of sub
scription taken in the Georgia
Pacific. The subscription books
of the company will be opened
at once, and work upon the
Georgia Pacific will be com
mepced by the Richmond aud
DanviIle construction company
Immediately. General Gordon
still remains President, but tc
Major Eugene Gordon mainly
belongs the credit of working ur
the donation part of the scheme
This master stroke has made
Gov. Colqnit and the Gordons
immensely rich men. The con
tract will be let to the construc
ton company at once, and the
road, which will run from Allan
ia to Texarkana, will pas;
through Birmingham, Ala.

The Western Corn Crop.

Three-6fths of a crop, as COM
pared with last year, appears to
be a fair estimate for the State
Of Illinois The crop Of 1880
was a remarkably large one.
This fact tends to bring this
years average crop up TO that Of
ordinary years of production and
smaller acreage. Reports from
Iowa are not harmonious. lu
10 section, however, is a full
crop expected. The varying re
ports are due to the tact that
many sections were less severely
visited by drouth than others,
but the acreage reported is
somewhat greater than last year.
The yield. compared with last
year is, in some localities, placed
as low as SO per cent, and the
average bushels per acre at 10
to IS, instead Of the usual Is or
so bushels. The crop last year
was unprecedentedly great, so
the crop may not be much below
an average one. In Missouri the
| drouth was severe and long, and
the crop will be cut down one
quarter to one half. The crop
of Kansas appears likely to fall
considerably below the average
In other States the drouth was
more or less severely felt, anc
the crop does not promise to be
a tuIl one. The only relief iron
q shortage will be the increased
acreage, so that after oil the dis
couragements of bad weather
the crop may not be much below
an average one.

Fifteen Miles Of Fire.

Some thonghtless Or malicious
person set the pine woods on
fir, two weeks ago, and they
have been burning steadily ever
since. Many thousands OF acres
have been burned over, and a
great deal Of valuable timber
destroyed. We are told that
several families have bad mar
row escape from having their
homes burned. A constant
watch is kept on the fire hend 70
prevent damage to properly,
but considerable fencing has been
destroyed 10 spite of all the ef-
forts used. If it does not rain
pretty soon and put stop to its
ravages, there is no telling where
the raging flames will be stayed.
It should be a penal ofense to
set the woods on fire at any
time, and we hope to see an end
put to this foolish and destruc-
tive practice, which is INDUCED
in every spring with the. false
notion that it benefits the stock
range. The danger attending il
is very great, and, during a long
dry spell like the present it be.
comes appalling. Should such 9
wind prevail as that which swept
over Michigan few years ago
the loss OF life and property
would equal that frightfal catas'
trophe. Let US have an end C

The Boldest Robbery on Record.

On the last day of the Kansas
City Exposition in 1872, the
James and Younger brothers
committed robbery which for
boldness and originality dis
counted the efforts OF any rob-
bers before or since. At five
O'Clock in the afternoon, after
Mr.. Hall, the treasurer Of the
association, now of the Chicago
Jockey Club, had been around
to the various entrances to COL
lect the money, six ordinary
appearing men rode up to the
\ Office at the principal gate, and
one OF them looking through the
window, said to Mr.. Hall, as if
from curiosity
"How much money is there in
that box?"
To which the accommodating
treasurer replied that there was
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Then said the inquisitive stran-
ger:
Suppose Jessie James should
come along here and tell you to
give that up, what would you
do?"
II should refuse" said Mr..
Hall, laughingly.
swell, ! am Jessie James"
sail the questioner, leaning half
way through the window. and
holding a cooked navy under the
tereasurer's nose, "and I reckon
you had better pass that money
over"
Mr.. Hail thought SO too and
acted accordingly. The money
was placed in a sack carried by
one of the party, and they rode
calmly down Twelfth street in
full view of the populace.
The cheek displayed can only
be appreciated when the fact is
taken into consideration that
there were at the least calcula-
ton 5000 people on the ground,
and men were passing in and out
the gate every minute.
That evening party Of men
rode up in front Of . newspaper
office on Fourth street and called
loudly By name for the editor.
the gentleman came down stairs
and was presented with and ele-
giant gold watch and chain with
the compliments Of Jessie James
and command" The gentleman
who received the present is at
present editing q paper in an
interior town, and still regulates
the movement OF the sun by bis
time-piece. The police of the
city did not apprshend any Of
the outlaws at the time, and have
continuedjto do so every SINCE

Silver District.

The smelter of the Red Cloud Mining company Is in full blast.
 Ten tons of silver bullion arriv. ed by last river steamer.
 The Princess mine is becoming too rich to handle-the lead dis, appearing and silver taking its place. This is the first mine we ever heard of as being. too rich in precious metal.
 The Silver Glance is being sur veyed preparatory to obtaining a patent.
 All hands are hard at work and the ore piling up.
 Messrs. Shugert and Clark, of Tombstone, visited the district last week and returned enthuI siastic. They had supposed the district overrated, but found that it had not had justice done it. AS a fact the policy has been to let Silver District assert itself, ,and it has done so, in spite of the croak. ings of old timers and of the evil disposed.
 It ls rumored that 8 prominent employee of the R. R. Go. at this place, has consistently blackballed the district, but as he could have no motive other than pure cuss. edness, we are inclined to believe it is all a mistake.

Board. Why reward your perse- cutors, gentlemen? Again both Norton and PoIhamus are appli- cants for places on the Board of Prison Commissioners, and a long petition of the citizens of Yuma has gone Wp against the appoint ment of the latter.
 We object to Norton for the position for the reason that we think it hardly to the credit of Yuma county that it's representa- tive should seek all the political pap. He and Darlington are min. ing partners-at least we presume so as all his mines are in Dori rington's name, and one not knowing these gentlemen might imagine they were making a job office out of the legislature. We are of opinion, also, that the gov ernor should not fill vacancies in the Board. It should be left to the Board of Supervisors of the county. Why should the govI ernOr have direct voice ia the administration of county affairs? One other very bad feature about the bill is that it sets no limit in point of time. A road from here to Ehrenberg can be constructed easily in three months. and yet this bill provides for a possibility of it's nonIcompletion in two years. Oh! for a grain of sense! At all events give us the road no matter what evil the gift may be hampered with.

Commissioner of Emigration.

Speaker Knapp has introduced, in the House, a bill providing for the appointment of a Comissionsr of Emigration for the Territory. We have not seen the bill but learn it's object is to bring about . dissemination of the mining and other resources of Arizona. If we have been correctly informed as to the idea involved, we are strongly in favor of the creation of such an office. It would be of incalculable benefit in giving &C., curate and complete information Ofall matters tending to attract the attention of capital and ensr- gy. There is not a newspaper in the Territory but what is overrun by letters of inquiry, and not one that can devote the time necsss. ary for sensible replies. We have seen letters addressed to Gov. Fremont and other Territorial officials needing elaborate an, swers from the fact that they were written by men of prominence and wealth.
 Neither the governor nor oth. CTS can find the tune for the la- bor involved in gathering and publishing the required informa- tion. A Commissioner of Emi- grafton, in our opinion if we have conceived his proba ble du- ties correctly, is a much needed officer.
