The Crops I'm England.

The Standard, in an article on the harvest,
says the general opinion in Mark Lane is that
there is an average wheat crop in England, and
the great majority of reports from different
districts confirm that estimate. The barley
crop can not fail to be an average one. Root
crops are less promising than they have been
at this period for many years. Potatoes, how
ever, are as good as the roots are bad. The
prospects in Scotland are much less favorabls
than in England. The most suspicious reports
of all the crops come from Ireland

The Internal Machines.

Mr.. s. W. Grove, well-known member Of
the United Irishmen, and partner Of O'Donovan
Rossa, has declared that all the machines lately
seized in England we're made in Peoria, Illinois,
and out Of the skirmishing fund. Each ma
chime weighs forty-fve pounds. The outside
is made Of iron; within it is zinc, with a re-
ceptacle containing clock arrangement. After
running six hours the clock liberates q hammer
that strikes nipple and explodes percussion
cap; this fires charge of an ounce and half
Of Illuminating mercury and a pound and q
half of dynamite, sufficient to blow up the
largest block of buildings in the world. He
deposits it in an open stairway or by the side
of building. Once placed he walks away and
provides for his own escape. Mr.. Grove says q
large number of these machines are in Peoria,
and will be sent out, a few at time, until the
people are afraid to patronize British ships or
live in British dwellings,. He says war is always
cruel, put the most cruel and surest way is the
best, and they intend to keep up this until
they force England to concede the liberation of
Ireland.

Power of Wind.

In paper before theAmerican Socle-
ty of Civil Engincesr, Mr.. c. Shalcr
Smith gives the results of many years
observation of wind pressure and its eff
fects. He has personally visited the
tracks Of destructive storms rs soon as
possible after their occurrence, for the
purpose Of determining the moXimum
force and the width of the path Of the
storm in every instance. The most vio-
lent storm in his records was mt East st.
Louis, in 1871, when the wind overturn-
ed q locomotive, the maximum force de-
vclopcd in so doing being estimated at
no less than so lbs. per square foot. At
st. Charles, in 1877, Jail was destroyed
the wind force required being S4.3 lbs.
per square foot. AT Marshtield MO in
1880, Il brick mansion was levclcd, the
force required being 5S lbs. per square
foot. Below these extraordinary pres
surcs there were sundry cases of
trains blown OF rails, and bridges, ETC.,
ablown down by gales Of wind of from n
to 81 lbs. per square foot. Mr.. Smith
observes that in all of his examples he
has taken the minimum force required
to do the observed damage, and has con-
sidered this as the maximum force of the
wind. although, of course, 1t may have
been much higher. Some of the hurri-
canes were very destructive, the one at
Marshfeld having cut down everything
along path 4G miles long and 800 feet
wide, killing 250 people.

to the vicious and irresponsible charac-

no moral attributes whatever. He paid

source of great trouble to his family,
from whom he estranged himself, and
who seem to regard him as vicious and
immoral.

referring to Guitteau's abominable and
deceitful dealings:

pable of almost any folly, stupidity or

render for him is that he is insane. In
