THE CROPS.

Comprehensive Reports from Mime
MILWAUKEE, July 27--Trusty CORE
sponderts in the territory drained by the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway system
write from 293 points respecting the grain
outlook. The burden of these reports is a
large wheat yield, halt crop of corn, and
the largest oat crop ever known. In nearly
all parts ofMinnesota the weather has stopped
ped the rust which appeared in few coun-
ties and fine crop is insured The Hes
ian fly appeared only to vanish promptly.
Winter grain is being harvested and spring
wheat will be cut in about ten days. In
some parts of the state, notably in the north,
corn will be total failure, except for the
fodder; weeds, fostered by wet, cold weather,
having choked the corn. The crop will
be about One-third the average All
parts OF the state promise an enormous Weld
of oats and an excellent crop Of rye
In Iowa, harvesting is more forward, and
corn is simproving very rapidly. Otherwise,
the condition of crops in the two states is
nearly identical. Chinch bugs have appeared,
but too late to do damage. About three.
fourths of crop of corn is expected, and fine
weather for three or four weeks may secure
it from frost and make the yield consider
ably larger. There is not an unfayorable
feature in the oat crop, which willSbe enor.

In Wisconsin the wheat crop is the best
for many years. Some of it has ripened too
much, and there is some rust but these are
incidental, not general defects Harvest

Nearly all grain is well headed. Corn will
be about half crop. The low lands have
been too wet. Oats will be the heaviest cror

patch says: The assassin of Lord Frederick

ton before the British consul. He says he
was employed by O'Connor and other int1u-
ential persons. Parties who have seen the
man give credence to his confession. In ap-
pearance he is tall and slender. He saws
the price of the deed was EGO to each of the
assassins. He said that EGO pounds was
worth more to an Irishman than an English
mans life. 1t is believed that the Venezuela
government will surrender him, although
there is no extradition treaty

A Bloodless Duel i'm Virginia.

Capt. Jno. s. Wise, readjuster candidate
for congressman at large, and Jno. Crockett,
commonwealth attorney of Wythe county,
Va, came to Christianlng, Va, on an early
train Tuesday morning and fought duel
near there with pistols
First Round-Both fired at the word with
out effect
Second Round-Crockett's pistol went off
prematurely. After reloading the weapon
both combatants were placed in position for
another exchange of shots Wise's pistol
missed fire and Crockett's fire was again
harmless, Crockett the challenging party, ex-
pressed himself satisfied and the fight ter
minated. The meeting had its origin in a
personal renconoitre which took place Mon
day, the 18th inst, at Marion, when Capt
Wise met Crockett and interrogated him
about certain language which was attributed
to Wise. Crockett acknowledged that he
made the statement, and said it was time.
Wise denounced it as false and struck
Crockett. Before the latter could resent the
blow outsiders interfered, and both were ar
rested and fined for breach OF the peace.
This caused the subsequent correspondence
which resulted in duel No arrests

The Rage for New Words.

A few months ago, somebody in En-
gland hit upon the word cI0t1lre as the
French expression for the contemplated
parliamentary measure of shutting off
debate at a certain stage. This word
was caught up like an Inspiration, and
the changes ring on it. 1t was fitted
into all possible phrases and sentences,
and set out in all possible ways, since
the appearance of any leading word, in
public discussion, that has not previous
" been familiar, produces a sort of
mania in English journalism, whole ar
ticles being written for the purpose Of
introducing if. and of showing respect
for it or acquaintance with it. The
swimming of a new planet into an
astronomer ken is the thing most COM
parable to the injection of a word like
cI0t1tre into British politics. But still
more recently some other bright person
discovered that the word closure was a
good substitute for clotltrc, and so used
il. The effect was again extraordinary.
All the British leader writer's rushed
madly TO be first in talking of the
closure instead of their previous cloture.
Their articles were no longer speckled
with this key-word in all the glory of
italics and circumfiex accent; and now
it is instructive to see how the later
equivalent has almost everywhere de-
throned the earlier in British Journal
ism. Such are the fortunes of words in
our day of repetitions and hasty imita-

A few years ago it was the fashion
among a certain clique of politicians,
whose utterances were echoed by por-
ton of the press, to clanor for the renew

topic seemed to prove a seven days won

The Tea-Firing Process.

A description of the process of curing
or firing the tea will give your readers
an idea of the intense heat these women
work in, and that for about the sum of
eleven cents of American money a day,
and fall day at that. These establish
ments are fitted up with double rows of
iron or copper kettles, or rather deep
cOnical pans, placed overfurnaces which
are kept fired up to the limit of 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Each pan has its at
tendant operative, who bends to her
labor as a woman at the WaShtub, only
she bends more, to stir the tea which is
being fired. A quantity of leaves, say
five pounds, are placed in the pan and
operative for about twenty minutes.
Then little sOapstone, finely pulver-
lied, is 9sprinkled over the leaves, and
for twenty minutes more the rapid
movement of agitating and stirring
them is continued. Then more pull
verified soapstone or gypsum and
tanIarak bark is sprinkled upon the
mass, the stirring process again con-
tinued for twenty minutes longer and
the firing process is ended. That the
tea may have a finer polish than it has
received during this stirring, it is put
into a cold iron or copper pan and con-
stantly rubbed against its sides for an
other hour; then it is the tea of COM
merce, and ready forpacking into boxes
as soon as it has passed over series of
screens or series of different sleeves, that
all the dust and stems and refuse may
be extracted from it. This process of
firing causes "a loss of weight of about
ten to twelve per cent The Worl-must

the gangs are changed, giving the labor

into a Bedlam to visit one of these es-
Establishments Such constant babble
and cIamor of the human voice. pitched
to all notes, is seldom heard elsewhere;
the chattering and laughing can be
heard outside, the premises, sounding
like the roar of traffic. in a great city,
and the aroma of tea is borne upon the
air, so you can never be mistaken about
the location of q tea-fring godown. The

An Anecdote of Auerbach.

Der, great lottery-ticket broker in

mind, and one night he had a dream in
which he clearly saw the figures IL, $50
That was evidently the finger of fate.
He arose next morning, told Schneider
of his dream, and said he would play
that number and none other. Schroeder
looked over his vast stock of tickets, but
was unable to find the one in question.
He thereupon wrote to the chief bureau
at Berlin, and after a time received an
answer to the effect that the ticket re-
quested was an heirloom in the family
of a large property-Owner- in POmme-
rama, had been played by those parties
Tor over sixty years, ana, alJhougn not
as yet drawn, they refused to part with
it. The agent, however, took the Hber-
ty of forwarding two half-tickets, the
one IL, 5S5, the other IL 1887. re -t
Schneider informed Auerbach of the
offer and insisted that he should avail
himself of it. It was unlucky, he said
not to take numbers thus sent. Auer.
bach refused to accede to the proposal
however, and as he could not have the
ticket he wanted determined upon max
ING his own selection. From large
pack he drew number one. Now it has
always been supposed that the King o
