Oil sbale Discovered in Iowa.

Frank Alexander, one of the propric-
tors of the inhammablc shale mine late
ly discovered in Charles, Mix county,
Iowa, i'm answer to q question from
Sioux CITY Journal reporter about the
mine. said that the burning qualities of
the rock were discovered by u piece
thrown out by blast falling into fire
which the workmen had near the mouth
of the shaft. The shaft was sunk in
search of coal. Some of the shale had
been tried in coal stoves in Bon Homme
and worked we'll A pile of some three
bushels of the stuff was set on fire out of
doors and burned freely. There were
live embers left twenty-four hours after
the fire was kindled. Mr.. Alexander
said that on his return wagon-load OF
this new fuel would be hauled to Plank
ington, on the Milwaukee road, where it
will be tested rs fuel for engines. The
shaft where the shale is found Is a ril-
vine within few rods of the river. The
shale is found thirty-siX feet from the
surface. Over it is roof OF slate, and
under it q block of earth that is neither
clay nor loan. The bed of shale could
be traced along the river bluff for sever
al miles, but, excepting in one place,
was not as thick as where found in the
shaft. A piece of the shale about as
big as a hickory nut had been tried in %
retort by Yankton scientist, and found
to contain three drops of oil. The in
flammable property of the shale came
from this oil. at will be remembered
says the Journal, "that a little oil was
found in the artcsian well at this city
when the shale was being penetrated,
and the same was noticed at Yankton
and Ponca." A small piece of the shale
which Mr.. Alexander had in his pocket
was shown to the reporter. 1t looked
gray and gritless, like common shale,
only it had greasy look and touch
something like camel coal. The only
foreign mineral that showed were specEs
of iron pyrites. The owner of the mine
evidently has no knowledge of true
Scotch shale oils.

Michigan Crop Report.

The Secretary Of State has issued
the following circular, under date of
April Ist, 1882:
For this report returns have been
received from 928 correspondents,
representing 6S2 townships. Six
hundred and one Of these returns are
from Ala townships in the southern
four tiers of counties.
The growing wheat in Michigan
suffered little or no injury during the
month of March. According to the
estimates, six per cent. of the acreage
sown last fall has been winter killed.
The crop in the southern four tiers of
counties promises ii per cent. better,
and in the entire State thirty-eight
per cent. better than on the first of
April, 1881.
The condition of clover is not SO
promising. Twenty-nine per cent
of the entire acreage in clover mead
ows and clover pastures is reported
winter-killed, and the condition Of
that portion not winter killed is four
per cent. below the condition one
year ago.
The prospects for apples and peach
es are favorable.
Cattle and sheep throughout the
State are generally in good condition.

The Black Bears Cunning,

In the Century for March, Charles c.
Ward has an entertaining illustrated
article on "The Black Bear" in which
he describes Bruins haunt's in Maine
and New Brunswick, relates several
hunting incidents, and depicts Bruins
peculiarities, in part as follows:

sense of humor, at all events his actions
that he is extremely cunning and OBJ
serving l once had an English friend
visiting me, who played the flute. He
was in the habit of marching up and
down, while playing. near a tame bear
l had mt the time. The bear had piece
of stick about two feet long, which he
tossed about for amusement. After
time, he came to handle the stick very
much as my friend did his flute. This
annoyed my sensitive friend, and in re-
venge he teased the bear with uncouth
noises. Bruin shifted and whined, and
waited his opportunity for delivering a
tremendous blow with his paw at his
enemy. whose tall hat was knocked
completely over his eyes. He escaped

bear spent much of his time in the tree
to which he was chained, and when
climbing usually got his chain twisted
over and under the branches in a most
intricate manner, but never failed to
take out every turn rs he descended. A
friend who owned q tame bear told me
that, for long time, he could not ac-
count for the mysterious way in which
the poultry disappeared. Observing, Mt
different times, good many feathers
around Bruins pole, he began TO suspect
that the bear was the culprit. Close
watching confirmed his suspicious.
When Bruin thought he was unobserved.
he would seize an unfortunate hen or
chicken within his reach, and devour It;
but II any ono approached before he
could complete the meal, he would sit
upon his prey until the danger Of dis
covery had passed. He was betrayed,
at last, by the csckling Of an old hen
that he had failed to silence.

A Bride that Slammed Death That She
Might Elope.

A Deadwood correspondent writes: A
very peculiar proceeding was related to
me tonight affecting a gallant officer of
the army, brother of n lieutenant at Fort
Meade, and one out of which an interest
ing romance might be woven. l do not
care TO give the gentleman's name, but
will state that he is nephew of apromi-
nent Union general of the rebellion
period and ex-member of Congress. A
year or 80 ago he became enamored with
a handsome and accomplished Eastern
woman, wooed and won her. The honey
moon was all that loving hearts could
make it, and their future gave promise
of great continuous happiness. The
lady was blessed with more than ordi-
nary musical talent. but uncultivated,
and to perfect the divine art she was
sent abroad by her husband. She visit
ed the various Conservatives of the
Continent and finally located in Paris
for two years instruction. While there
she was reported as being very sick, and
soon afterward the terrible announce
ment of her death reached Lieut.
by cable. He at once directed that the
remains be embalmed and returned to
America for burial, which order was
complied with; but rs the grief-stricken
husband was unable to go East he re-
quested friend in New York to re-
ceive the casket and cause its interment
in Greenwood. This was done.
Subsequently certain intelligence
reached the widower of character that
aroused his suspicious and caused him
to hasten to the beautiful cemetery over
looking the harbor of New York, where
the remains were exhumed, the casket
opened and found to contain the decay
ing body of man. An investigation
was at once instituted and resulted in
establishing the fact that the wife had
eloped with her music teacher, first
causing n report of her sickness and
death to be sent for her PARKWAY home.
and in confederation of it had secured
corpse from the morguc, which was sent
as her own, with the result above stated.

A Case of Good Luck.

The connection Of II. A. Chaplin,
of Niles, Mich, with the Chaplin iron
mine at Iron mountain, on the Men
ominee range, is one of the most sing
ular instances of remarkable "luck"
for one can call it nothing else -
we ever heard of, and illustrates the
verify of the old saying, "that truth is
stranger than fiction"
The Chaplin mine is one those OPP
Grated by the Menominee Mining
Company, and is one of the largest
deposits of good, merchantable iron
ore there is on the Upper Peninsul a
of Michigan. Mr.. Chaplin is owner
in fee of the property, and the com
pany operates the mine on twenty
year lease, at royalty of SO cents
per ton.
Mr.. Chaplin was a merchant at
Niles some years ago. At the time
of the panic in 1873, he failed in
business, and honestly turned all his
property over to creditors.
Among the assets were a number
of small tracts Of land, located on
the Upper Peninsula with Agricul-
tural College scrip, and one tract of
100 acres located with a land warrant.
Mr.. Chapin's creditors who were
mostly eastern men, considered these
lands worthless as they were on the
Menominee range, destitute Of tim
Der, not good for agricultural pur-
poses, and the mineral resources of the
region were not at that time devel-
oped to any great extent. They
therefore relinquished their claims on
these lands, releasing Mr.. Chaplin
and allowing him out Of the wreck to
make what use he could of these
lands for his own benefit. 1t hap
pened that the State of Michigan had,
at the time of those college scrip
entries, already more scrip on the
market than she was entitled to, and
all of Mr.. Chapin's scrip entries were
cancelled. There was, however, this
land warrant entry of 100 acres that
was left in fact, and his title was at
least good to this diminutive piece Of
real estate. There was very few, if
any, surface indications of iron on
this tract-in fact where the i'm
mense vein is located, none at all.
Mr.. Chaplin made several efforts to
dispose of the land at a mere NOM
inal sum, but was unable to get rid
of it at any price.
1t seems that fate had decreed that
he should be rich, whether he would
or not. The Menominee Mining
Company, in the course of its ex-
plorations, accidentally discovered
this deposit. During the past year
Mr.. Chapin's royalty has yielded him
an income of about $40, 900 and in
all probability will average hence
forth from 500, 900 to $I25,ooo in
come for him for many years to come.
The company, while they have de-
cidedly the best of it, at least for
seventeen or eighteen years yet,
would no doubt be willing TO pay
Mr. Chaplin not less than one mil
lion dollars for the fee ofthe property.
There is deposit here of clean,
rich blue steel ore, free from rock,
silica, sulphur or phosphorus, from g
to 68 per cent. metallic. iron, that
has been EXPLORED nearly 1900 feet,
and shafts are in places down nearly
900 feet in the ore. 1t is one of the
most valuable mines ever discovered,
and is a veritable bonanza to its
lessees, most of whom are Milwaukee
men.

and lambs, with few exceptions, is re-
ported no greater than usual. The
mortality among swine is reported
greater than usual by thirty seven
correspondents. Cholera is given
as the cause in Branch, Cass. Ionia,
Lenawee, Monroe, Oakland, St. Jo-
seph, and Wexford counties. Two
correspondents in Kalamazoo county
state that there are fewer cases of
cholera than one year ago.
Reports have been received of the
quantity of wheat marketed by farm
ers during the month of March at
2o4 elevators and mills. OF these
al are in the southern four tiers of
counties. The total number of BUSH
els reported marketed is 44S,I55, of
which I56,s5a bushels were marketed
in the first or southern tier of coun-
ties, I33,o35 bushels in the second
tier. 65,7a3 bushels in the third tier,
1888 bushels in the fourth tier, and
25,o72 bushels in the counties north
of the southern four tiers. AT Al
elevators and mills, or 10 per cent.
of the whole number from which re-
ports have been received, there was
no wheat marketed during the month.
At 23o elevators and mills the guam
tity of wheat marketed was 42o,247
bushels, which is 22 per cent. of tire
quantity marketed at the same places
during the months Of January and
February.
REPORTS FROM OTHER STATES.
The Indiana Crop Report for April
shows that the acreage of wheat in
that State is about two per cent.
greater than in 1881, and that the
condition is about eleven per cent.
better than ga fair average condition
of any year at this date"
A statement received from the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton shows that in the seven States
producing a surplus Of corn, viz:
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Nebraska-there
were, on March 20, I74,32I,2oo bush
els of corn on hand, against 3SS, 4oS,-
622 bushels on March 20, 1881, and
that in the same States there were
35,622, o4o bushels of wheat on hand,
against 64,3o3,953 bushels on March
20, 1881. Mr.. ]. r. Dodge, the
statistician, closes his report as follows:
"Assuming these results as repre-
senting approximately the grain in
the hands Of farmers, there is still a
quantity in the hands of grain deal
ers in country and city, a consider
able portion of which may be traced
in commercial records Of stocks on
hand.
The consumption Of wheat during
the four remaining months, for over
100000 people of these States
would be about 2I.ooo,ooo bushels,
some Of which will be supplied from
flour already manufactured. In five
of these States very little seed will be
required for spring wheat. In Iowa
and Nebraska, spring wheat States,
and for small area Of spring wheat
in the others, about 5000, 900 bushels
will be needed for seed, leaving as
900, 900 bushels for consumption and
market, nearly half of which may
possibly be spared as a surplus
There is also a small surplus in Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and
on the Pacific coast"

Prices.
Special TO The National Tribune.
NEW YORK, Nov. %, lSs2-The course of
the market to-day has been rather contrary to
expectations. 1t was supposed that the con-
tinustion of the railroad fight would sgain
depress prices, but soon after the opening it
became evident that some one was buying
stocks, and in consequence Of this there was
rush by the Bears to cover, and the stocks on
which there was a considerable short interest
were correspondingly advanced. 1t now looks
as if the market had cut loose from the rail-
road question, and that, if there is no serions
change in the position, this factor may be of
less importance than 1t has been for the last
few days. Still, ii is a market that requires con-
siderable caution to operate in, as one or
two large operators who are supposed to have
bought this morning may become sellers ct any
moment. During the day there was nothing
outside of this buying to affect the market
either way. Money loaned from to per
cent. being more plenty as is usual before
