Corn Panic Threatened.

CHICAGO, December ia panic
is threatened among the corn opera
tors here because of heavy decline.
Since the Kreig & Davis failure, at
the beginning of this month, and on
account of the unloading of an i'm
mense amount of corn, the market is
completely demoralized. Cash corn
was sold this afternoon at fiftyAone
cents, decline of 154c. during the
month, and of 44c. during the week.
January and February delivery sold
at 508c. May has fallen 2ssc. since
Monday. The longs sunk thousands
of dollars in margins. Failures are
expected. The feeling is very
uneasy,

The American: The furnace at
Cowan, the furnace at Rising Fawn
and one of the furnaces at South
Pittsburg (the other is undergoing
repairs) made during the month of
October six thousand tons of iron,
and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road Company shipped twenty thou,
sand one hundred and thirty-nine
tons of coal and coke, the coal and
coax being about equally divided
This was about 10000 bushels of
coal mined, and was an increase
over the month of September
of about $50 tons, so that it
will be seen the company is min
ing about 10000 bushels of coal
daily. The using Fawn furnace
does not belong to the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad Company,
but the Cowan furnace and the
South Pittsburg furnace do, and
when the furnace undergoing res
pairs, is put in blast, which will be
during this month for this furnace
is capable of doing about what the
Rising Fawn furnace does,) this com
pany will be mining 10000 bushels
of coal, burning $4,000 to $4,000
bushels of coke, and making 200 to
225 tons of iron per day, the gross
receipts of which will be from $3.50,
900 to $175 cooper month, or in the
neighborhood of 1000, 900 annually.

DISEASED LUNGS ARE GREATLY ON AN In
CREASE IN THIS CoUNTBY.-The sudden
changing of the weather has done much to
give rise to Consumption. But there are
thousands of cases who bring it on by their
own imprudence-such as wearing damp
clothing, and going from the warm room
into the cold air, and checking the perspira-
ton, which causes irritation of the lungs,
and then matter or phlegm will collect,
which nature will try to relieve by coughing
it up, to prevent pestules from formingr
If nature does not raise the matter with
ease, and stop this inflammation, tubercles
will soon form, and consumption will soon
follow. ALIENS LUNG BALsAM will cure
and prevent thousands of cases of Consump-
ton if it is only taken in time.

The Anglo-American Language Be-
coming Universal.

Father Alexander Diligentsky, a
Russian priest, upon being asked
what he considered the most re-
markable fact impressed upon his
mind by his recent journey around
the world, replied that it was ''the
lead that English-speaking people
have taken everywhere. English has
become the international language.
With my limited knowledge of Eng
lish during my trip I have been far
better off than any of my occasional
Germen and French friends. English
has a glorious future; it is bound to
become the universal language of
science, trade and industry. There
have been three great epochs
in which all the educated men talked
Greek, Latin, French respectively.
Now we are entering the epoch of
English. The Greek world was too
limited in both area and age. The
Latin world was larger than the
Greek, but its field, politics, was too
narrow. The French epoch was d.
plomatlc. Now the English, or rather
Anglo-American, epoch will embrace
the whole world The English
speaking nations lead the world III
higher politics and industry and
trade, and they are unsurpassed by
any nation in scientific, religious or
philosophical thought. Our Ger
man friends object to English on the
ground that it is in their opinion not
an original language, being rather
mixture of German and Latin. In
my opinion this is rather an advan-
tage, for English is not quite for
eign tongue to Germans and to the
nations of Latin origin, and SO
much the more easily can be adopt
ed by all of them

little better than out doors. BY the
time required we were unloaded and
everything put in shape. On Sun
day morning we went to church and
listened to the preaching of God s
word. On Monday morning we
loaded two loads of lumber and
started for our claims" By Thurs
day evening we Lad built a shelter
on the prairie. Friday morning we
moved out; and here we are, not
monarch of all we survey" for we
can see long way.
Houses are sprlnging up on every
hand. We nave 10 neighbors very
near yet, but in very short time we
expect them as close as we shall de-
sire. We can't say much about the
country yet. The prairie looks beau.
tiful, the soil is very deep and rich !.
Save few days of rain the weather
has been pleasant. The Fire Steel
runs one and one-half miles south of
us, and I of mile west of us there
is nice little sheet of water COW
ering some three or four acres; it
will probably dry out in the summer.
We are trifle more than mile
west of the main road from Plank
inton to Washington, so we see
something if we 40 not talk much.
The immigration to this country is
simply wonderful. From 30 to 40
cars arrive weekly bringing mimi
grants goods On Friday last it
was stated at the depot that 40 fam
lilies came that day to Plankinton.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul are not bringing all the immi-
grants, but they are bringing many
Of them; and when we notice how
they accommodate and furnish, in
almost all instances, the large lum-
Der cars to settlers, we do not won

THERE is small wonder modern
whiskcy incites men to such acts
when we note how it is doctored.
An old liquor-dealer, now retired
from business, in an interview says:
On most Of the Gin sold there will
be found oil of yiuiol, oil of turpcn-
tine, oil of almonds, sulphuric ether,
and extract of grains of paradise,
Ii Is IN the manufacture of whiskey,
however that the adultemtors do
their finest work. You can purchase
oils and essences from which wills
key of any age can be produced,
This style of whiskey when tested
will show sulphuric acld, caustic pc,
tassa, benzine, nuX yomica, and 9th
er poisons This is the sort of stuff
that bores into the coatings Of the
stomach and creates ulcers Pure
whiskey, in my opinion, win hurt
no one when taken in reasonable
quantities, but this adnIterated stuff
is murderous. In porter you will
find opium, herbane, capsicum, coccu.
Ius indicns, coppcras, tobacco, and
sulphuric acid. In beer, alum, OPT
um, nuX yomica, green coppcras, Wit
riol, sub-carbonate of potash, and

Guiteau no longer partakes of the
pleasure of seeing visitors and sell
ing his pictures, and in consequence
has become sloyenly in dress, loung.
ing about arrayed in red flannel
undershirt, dark pants, and shoes
very much run down at the heel.
He still retains a considerable sum
of money, which he terms his "bank
roll, /" and counts the same a dozen
times day--a seeming sourse of
consolation and amusement. The
Supreme Courts decision sustains
that of Judge Cox, consigning the
arch murderer to the gallows on
June 30lh. District Attorney Cork
hill has determined upon eXamina
ton of the brain of the assassin by
a board of the most eminent medi-
cal experts Of the United States, to
put at rest, as he believes, forever
the question of his sanity. After
the autopsy the body will be deliver
ed to the relatives of the doomed
man, if any of them call for it.

n NATIONAL DAIRY FAIR is TO be
held in Milwaukee, some time in
September next, after the Exposition
there has been closed for the season.
The dairy business in Wisconsin has
now become very large for West
ern state, and the product sold last
year for export amounted to over
Sl 100000, after reserving all that
was necessary for home consumption
The farmers Of some of the counties
are devoting all their energies to the
manufacture of butter and cheese
and new factories are springing W
, IN all directions. Sheboygau county
alone contains over sixty cheese-fac
tories already, and the counties OF
Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Jefferson
Green Lake, Dane and others, are
abandoning the raising of grain aut
devoting their land to pasturage
stock raising and dairying. Tn,
farmers find it more profitable to di
yersify their labor.

THERE is great excitement in the
oil market at Bradford and other i'm
portant points. Oil has declined
from SO to 84t per barrel in April to
655, at which figure it closed Satur.
day. The decline is caused by the
opening of a new well called "646-
Mystery" 1t was struck some three
months ago, but was plugged up,
and has been kept under an armed
guard ever since. The parties who
own it, understood to be the Union
Oil Company, used their knowledge
to operate in the market. One day
last week the well was opened, and
is reported flowing at the rate of
800 to 600 barrels per day-the most
reliable report says 500 barrels per
day. AS a consequence, there was
almost a panic. The price fell from
"A cents on ednesday morning to
653 cents Saturday. This is the
lowest price for oil in ten years, ex-
