If Abd-el-Kader, the famous AL.
gerine chief, should return to his
native land, as he threatens to do,
and incite an insurrection against
his old enemies, the French would
have an amount of trouble on their
hands that they had not bargained
for. Though he is seventy.four
years old, age merely is no reason
why he could not fight the French
as effectively, il not more success
fully, than he did from 1883 to lS43,
in which later year he surrendered
to Marshal Bugeaud. In spite Of
the promise that he should be per.
mitted to retire to Alexandria or
st. Jean d'Acre, he was taken to
France, where he was kept in con.
finement for number of years.
In 1852 he was released by Louis
Napoleon. He retired to Constan-
tinople and then to Damascus.
Twice since that time it has been
reported that he was dead, but he
still clings to life with surprising
tenacity, considering the hardshipa
through which he has passed.

In some interesting geographic
cal Investigations, made and pub.
,ished by Prof. Reade of England,
the river Thames Is credited with
washing away IA tons OF solid mat
ter per square mile every year; the
Rhine about 92; the Rhone, 232; the
Danube, about %; the Garonne, 142;
the Seine, 81. He thinks that
probably throughout the world 100
tons of rock material are dissolved
per square mile every year; and,
taking. the solids removed nechan-
icaIly at six times those in solu.
tion, the total denudation on the
globe would be 600 tons q year per
square mile, to which may also be
added the third for denudation ef-
fected by the sea on its coasts and
for what volcanic eruptlons add to
given stratum.

For q number Of years 1t has
been quite the fashion for scien-
lists in certain parts Of Europe,
particularly in England, to dilate
upon the alleged physical deterior-
alton Of Americans, and the small
ness OF their size and stature in
comparison with the English,
Pfussians and various other Euro.
peans. Many Of them have even
gone so far as to maintain that
we're 1t not for the constant infu.
sion of fresh blood into America by
immigration from Europe, the
Caucasian race on this continent
would eventually either be trans'
formed into the aboriginal type OF
the North American Indians. or
become entirely extinct. Now the
tables have been turned upon our
British brethren. Some one
among them with q taste for re.
search has been investigating and
examining carefully the head
measures for hats, in many of the
Establishments where hats are
manufactured, and he has discov.
cred that the heads of Englishmen,
az shown by these measures, have
certainly been gradually decreas'
Ing in size for the last three or foul
generations. The matter created
quite a stir in scientific circles
some attempted to overthrow the
presumption Of degeneracy by
pleading that as people advance in
civilization the brain tissue be.
comes of closer, finer and firmel
texture, localized, as 1t were, and
therefore the head naturally is
smaller. The Sacramento Record
Union, Of a late date, has an edi.
torial on this subject, and it offers
the explanation that former gener.
ations wore more hair Oh theii
heads, while the modern british.
err crops his hair short,
that this accounts for the use oil
smaller sized hats and that the &C.
tual size OF the head itself Is &c
less, But the editor of the Record
Onion is an Englishman, which,
perhaps, may have Influenced him
in reaching this conclusion.

How They Get Rum at Rugby.

Rugby, as most of our readers
will remember, is the English col.
ony founded by Thomas Hughes in
Tennesse. Liquor is not allowed to
be sold there, but the Inhabitants
seem to have discovered way of
getting it. A correspondent writes:
The Rugby plan is peculiar and
works smoothly. I have it from
one of the initiated. 1t is as fol.
lows: When the devotee feels the
cravings coming on he starts out
alone for walk in some unfre.
quented part of pine grove, when
he suddenly makes the discovery
of bottle of moonshine on the
back side of tree. He picks it up
and walks solemnly away, medi-
tating on spiritual things. Before
he has gone far a stranger appears
and says: "Beg pardon, sir; I
would like to have you loan me a
dollar.n He loans the dollar and
the stranger departs without dis
closing his name.

- office.

During the recent campaign in New
York, hardly public meeting was held,
but there was general resort to circulars
forwarded to electors through the mails.
The choice of this method of city de-
livery shows its certainty, celebrity and
economy. The work done in the New
York city postoff1ce is without precedent
A dispatch from that city says: son Sat-
urday, $4,000 two-cent stamps and 400,
600 stamped envelopes were sold. This
represents total of 1,220, 900 pieces sent
through the mail for delivery in this city.
Postoff1ce officials, who have been in the
service almost their entire lives, say, that
at no previous election were so many circu-
lars sent through the mails. In fact,
they say that this year three times as many
circulars have been mailed as at any other
election in the history of the country. On
Saturday the crowd ofmatter was so great
at two of the stations that it was found
necessary to forward 1t all to the general
Office to be marked and forwarded. The
first delivery on Saturday was delayed
forty-five minutes by the great amount
of matter that had to be handled, and in
uptown districts on some of the delivery
routes the delay extended to two hours
This delay occurred Notwithstanding the
fact that there were forty additional car
riers. In some of the tenement house dis
tricts, four carriers were required to dc
the work usally performed by one.

Damages.
A Milwaukee dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune, dated Nov. 9, says: There is a
fair prospect that Sheriff Rugee will be
obliged to defend suit for damages by
the relatives of William Kuhl, the young
man taken into custody as vagrant and
held here under mistaken impression
that the struggling stranger was none
other than Lon Williams, the desperate
and murderer, and not the plain farm
hand he represented himself to be.
Peter Schertz, one of the brothers.
in-law of Kuhl, and Samuel S. Page, of
Peoria, his counsel, arrived to-day, pro-
cured copies of the warrants, commit
ments, affidavits and orders in the
case for the purpose of institute
ing legal proceedings against the
sheriff and his deputies. Mr.. Schertz will
have legal redress if possible, and was
not at all reserved in making known the
object of his mission. He stated he had
met with better treatment among the
officials of Dunn and Pepin counties than
he experienced here, which is remarkable
in view of the fact that the officers
here seemed to entertain no very fatter-
ing opinion of the people in that section.
There was every disposition to be fair,
even the brothers of the murdered men
exerting themselves in favor of law and
order, and not in persecution and prose-
cution of right or wrong. Mr.. Schertz
stated that Kuhl ran bare chance of
being lynched at Camp Douglas, num-
har Of men having searched a train there
to hang the suspected man, the parties
first having provided themselves with
ropes, lanterns, etc. The Illinoisans
started for home this evening, after leav-
ing their case in competent hands. The
damages claimed will be $50, 900 for false
Imprisonment and unlawful detention
otherwise. A suit will be brought in the
United States court.

But with brio. a-brac enough to craze a

eral himself cannot be numbered with
the Oscar Wildes. Army and tannery life
do not conduce to the development OF
that kind of taste. In sending to Galena
for the ornamental spoils deposited there
the general wrote to friend: "You will

department of agriculture was represented by
its former statistlcian, Mr.. j. r. Dodge. The
main topic under discussion was the status OF
state and national crop reporting, and the
means of obtaining uniformity and superior
accuracy. A plan of cooperation with the
national department was agreed upon, which
will be presented to the commissioners
Of agriculture, who is also urgently requested
to inaugurate some plan for obtaining and
publishing reasonable and permane mt
reports Of the condition of the growing
crop, and grain crops, with reference to the
propable demand for our grain surplus and
other products. A harmonious and enthusi-
astic feeling characterized the meetings and
permanent organization was affected.

Discussions exist in st. Paul's church,
Boston. The rector, the Rev. W. W.
Newton, has resigned, and the church is
divided into two factions The church
is in the heart of the business portion of
the city, and the property is valued at
from s25O, 900 to $500, 200. One faction
desires to transfer the property to the
control of the Episcopal board of dona-
lions, which holds in trust much Of the
Episcopal church property in Massa-
chusetts. This would probably result in
making St. Paul's the bishops church fol-
that diocese. The other faction wishes
to sell the property and to build an ele,
CANT church in the Back Bay district. II
IS said dry goods firm offered to buy the
land. It is said that the remains OF
nearly $500 dead persons lie in the vaults
