lfrOm tine Boston JOuruall
Mr.. Jay A. Hubbell is as impartial as grim
death himself, who is reputed to take equal
satisfaction in knocking at the cottage and the
palace gate. Mr. Hubbell has reached the
laborors employed upon the excavations at
He'll Gate with his invitations to make vol
untary contributions" of a weeks wages to
perpetuate Republican principles and the cleo
ton of Republican Congressman. Some OF
the men whom the invitation has reached
have been heard from, and their dizziness in
taking in the voluntary" character of the
transaction is truly painful. One married
rock driller, of whom Mr.. Hubbell demands
$3.50, says this means that he must give up
enough money to pay for a months rent, and
$3.50 besides. He thinks this rather hard, as
he has been at work but few months, after
being idle seven weeks but he admits that
he will have to pay it or take the risk of be-
ing idle again. He denounees the voluntary
contribution" clause as fraud, and adds that
those who wrote and mailed the letter knew
that ii was in fact as stern as sheriff s writ
of execution. Other of the men talk in the
same way. This exaction of $3.50 each
from day laborers is one of the most pitiful
developments of this execrable business. II
Mr.. Hubbell had set himself TO illustrate be-
fore the country the worst features of the
spols and assessment system, he could moi
have succeeded any better than he has

The completed report of the department of
agriculture on the condition of crops for the
month of July shows that there is an increas-
ed area of potatoes in nearly every state and
territory the natural effect of the high prices.
This increase amounts to about 7 per cent
The condition is also high, falling little short
of 100 anywhere and averaging 102. There
is an increase in the breadth of sweet pota-
toes especially in the southern states west of
the Mississippi. The acreage of tobacco is
nearly the same as in 1881. Its condition is
high in Kentucky, Tennessee and North Car
olina, but below the average in the Connecti-
cut valley, Maryland and Virginia. Apples
and peaches will be fairly abundant. The
Delaware aud Maryland crop of peaches may
exceed 4 1000, 600 baskets. medium crop
will be gathered in the Michigan, Illinois and
Missouri peach regions. The condition of
fruit is better west of the Mississippi than in
the Ohio valley. The Iowa harvest is now
far enough advanced to dispel any gloomy
thoughts which the farmers may have in
dulged in. Winter wheat never looked bet
ter. The stand is thick, stalk strong, and
heads heavy. Harvesting began Friday and
is proceeding vigorously. The best fields
will run from 80 to 80 bushels an acre.

The old city of Alexandria was founded in
232 b. @. by Alexander the Great, and soon
became one of the most populous and mag
nifcent cities in the world 1t is supposed
that during its greatest prosperity Alexandria
had GOO, 900 inhabitants, a majority of whom
were Greeks and Jews; but at the opening of
this century its population did not exceed
600O. When Mehamet Ali became master of
Egypt he saw the great advantages of Alexan-
dria as a seaport town, and set about to re-
store some of its former importance. From
then till now Alexandria has been steadily in
creasing in Importance, until it has become
one of the greatest commercial emporiums
between Europe and India. The chief arti-
cles of export are grain, sugar, drugs, cotton,
gums rice, dates and hides. In 1871 The pop
ulation was 219, G02; among whom there were
25, 600 Greeks, 20, 900 Italians, Ii, 900 French,
and large number of English, Americans,
Germans, Swiss, and other nationalities,
Some of the modern business houses were
models of their kind, and, taken as whole,
the doomed city was one of the most impor-
liant in the East.

Mrs Mary Todd Lincoln, widow of Presi-
dent Lincoln, died at Springfield, ILL.,, Sunday
evening. She had been i'll for long time,
but few days ago she grew worse. Saturday
night she suffered shock of paralysis and
from that time lay in a comatose state until
she died. Mrs. Lincoln was daughter of
Robert S. Todd of Lexington, KY, and was
born about the year 1921. Her early child
hood was passed at her Kentucky home, but
when Just merging into womanhood she went
to live with her sister at Springfield, Ill.
While residing at Springfield she made the
acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln, who was
then practicing law in that town. and on No
vember 4, 1912, when 81 years of age, she be-
came his wife. Four years later Mr.. Lincoln
was elected to Congress, but Mrs. Lincoln re-
manned with her children in Springfield. On
tho election of Mr.. Lincoln to the Presidency
she went to Washington. The shock of her
husbands violent death was one from which
she doubtless never recovered; certainly since
the terrible event she has never enjoyed per-
feet sanity. OF late years she has shown un-
mistakable signs of insanity, and that COM
bined with melancholy has made it extremely
hard for her friends. Her only remaining
child is Robert Todd Lincoln, the present
Secretary of War, and he has been unremit-
ting in his fiial solicitude and care for his I'M
fortunate mother,

The bill for the repression of crime in Ire
land, which greatly enlarges the powers of the
police and provides new and unusual tribu-
nails, has become law by virtue of the royal
sanctions and 1t remains to be seen what its
enforcement may accomplish toward the OBJ
ject in view. The point with regard to which
disappointment is most likely to come to
those who are sanguine concerning the eilicien-
cy of the new law, is that the old difficulty of
procuring evidence on which to base arrests
remains untouched by this, as il must be by
any law. The root of the trouble in Ireland
is the sympathy which whole communities
feel for the perpetrators of crime. This is
strikingly shown in the recent murder of Mr..
John H. Blake and his servant near Lough-
rea, in county Galway. The murder occur
red on the forenoon of the Doth of June. Mr..
Blake had been with his wife to attend mass
at the Loughrea chapel, and on his way home
he was fired upon from q roadside wall and
he and his driver were killed and his wife BE-
riously wounded. The assassins drilled large
holes through the stone wall, and through
these loop holes iiredupon their Victims wait
ing until they had just passed, and discharg-
ing two volleys The locality was populous
one, not more than half a mile from the
centre of the village; the day was not only a
church holiday, but fair day, and the roads
were unusually busting with people The
road selected by the assassns was an open
highway, and beyond the wall behind which
they were waiting was a large, fiat field
across which they must have fed. Yet no
person could be found who saw or heard the
deed committed, no one had seen any stran-
gers in the vicinity, and no armed men had
been seen anywhere in the district. The
men who did this deed must have counted
upon the sympathy of any one who might see
them, either while they were waiting for
their victims, or when they fired, or when
they made their escape; and events proved
that they did not reckon in vain. This is fair
illustration of the way in which the Irish peo-
pie regard such crimes; and another illustra-
ton is found in the fact that although $780,
600 has been offered for the discovery of the
murderers of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke,
not a clue to them hos been obtained.

banks whose charters are extended to have

SEARCHING FOR TREASURE TRoyE IN YER
notwithstanding from Brandon into the
town of Pittsford there il a long valley known
as Sugar Hollow, and in this valley near the
southeastern part of Brandon there is now
in active operation a mining project. The
company is made up of highly respectable
citizens of Brandon aud Pittsford besides
several other men from out of the state.
They claim to be in search of a vein of silver
discovered over a hundred years ago, and
they are also looking for bars of worked sill
yer that were buried there in concealment
from the Indians. Many are prosecuting the
work, not because they find indications of
silver, but because they firmly believe an old
tradition that runs somewhat rs follows;
About 1875 years ago a Spanish seer saw in
a vision the richest vein of silver in the world,
and lac offered to direct an expedition TO it,
They formed company, chartered a vessel,
crossed tho Atlantic, sailed up the st. Law
renee, through the sound, into Lake Cham.
plain as far south as Larabee's Point. From
this point the "seer" directed part of the
ships company into the primeval forest, un-
til they reached the above spot in
Brandon. Here the "seer" ordered halt,
commanding his men to dig specified dis
lance in q certain direction, where they soon
found the identical vein which he had seen
from far beyond the Atlantic. But as tradi-
ton has it, they were soon driven away by
the Indians aud in their flight they left silver
enough to buy the city of Troy. 1t was care
fully concealed, however, so that in returning
to Spain they felt confident that they could
return in stronger force and recover it all !;
but the French and Indian war prevented
their return and the matter rested.

ono horse could draw, and still there was
room. He then cut up the stalks from piece
of sweet corn, and with lot of rowon man
aged at last to fill his hogshead. He made a
close-ftting cover, and with a iack-screw set
under one of the floor timbers pressed it down
as tight as possible. This was in September.
In the middle of December he opened his sio

COW half bushel Of ensilage morning and

This year he proposes to fill the hogshead
