4 Tragedy in n Few Words.

The veil was lifted off London in
terror at an inquest held the other day
in Whitechapel, disclosing picture
to which Iogarth or Cruikshank would
have failed to do justice, and from
which the moral artists of to-day, who
show a husband beating out his wife's
brains with a chair or knocking her
down with bottle or a poker, might
fairly take hint. The victim in this
case was a child. The story is told by
a relative, who, himself drunk, still re-
tanned some of his wits. On a Tues
day night he came home about half
past seven. On entering the room he
saw his brother lying on the floor
drunk, and his wife lying on the bed,
with her face toward the wall, and
drunk. The deceased child was lying
at its fathers feet, with the head
toward the fender. There was
mug by the fathers side,
but he could not say what it con-
tanned. He woke the mother up, and
told her she ought to be ashamed to
leave the child on the floor, and he
then, at her request, picked the child
up, when he saw blood flowing from
the mouth, and discovered it was dead.
The doctor deposed that she accounted
for the abrasions on The side by the
child being dragged about, and it was
quite possible that the injuries to the
head were caused by some blunt instru-
ment, such as a poker or hatiron. 1t
was also possible that the child was
caught up by the legs and swung round
and came in contact with something
His opinion was that the child had
been struck by some blunt instrument.
The father of the child termed it ga
crime and a mystery" Unlike many q
London mystery" the solution does
not seem very difficult to discover.

Nearly 800 delegates were present. Mr.
Egan rendered his resignation as treasurer
Of the Irish land league and rendered state

A LATER dispatch says that fourteen of tha

by collision with the ship Coastautia, oil
Eddystone, England, were drownoi.
The committee of the new Irish National
league have adopted an address to the Irish
people in substance as follows: The landlords
have combined with the purpose of breaking
the spirit of the tenants. The dismay which
the present scale Of judicial rents has created
among the applicants to the land courts rem
ders it more necessary now than ever that
the tenantry should be reunited in vigilant
and lawful association for the purpose of
protecting themselves from injustice. The
inspiration of all our struggles is to transfer
all local power and patronage from privileged
strangers to the hands of the people, and SO
fortify the people for the work of self-gov-
ernment.
The English guards, who returned from
Egypt, received an enthusiastic welcome
from great crowds upon their arrival in

That he continued the war despite news of
peace. Fourth-With having melted civil
war, devastation, massacre and pillage in
Egyptian territory.

National Harvest Reports.

The department of agriculture at Washing
ton reports that the average yield OF oai.
will be somewhat higher than that of last
year or in 1879, and the product will be
nearly as large as that of wheat, probably
about 41S 600, 900 bushels. The average yield
of rye is Il 7-l0 bushels, making crop of
200OO,0G0 bushels. The indicated aver
ago yield Of barley is % bushels per
acre, aggreguting 45,O0000O bushels. Cali
fornia, New York and Wisconsin together
produce more than half, or p ,000,000 bushels.
Tho product in 1879 was 100000. The
prospect for buckwhe0t is good for nearly
average product, l1,OO0,OOC to l2,O0O,oOJ
bushels. The general average of the con
dition Of potatoes is 81. The returns lndl-

duction. In Illinois with per cent de-
crease of area) tho condition is only ~ i'll
Iowa 70 and in Ohio 81. These three States
produced 40 per cent. Of the crop of 1879. A
careful comparison Of changes in area and
condition indicates an average yield OF %

is in danger of being rapidly destroyed
and its natural beauties defaced 10y
wantonneSs and vandalism, unless the
government steps in to protect it. 1t
is said that the first thing the foreigner
does after registering at the Brevoort
house is to start for the Yellowstone
Park and needlessly shoot down scores
Of its large game-deer, buffaloes,
bears, antelope and mountain sheep.
Nor are foreigners always the chief
sinners in this respect. Many of the
most famous Yellowstone geysers have
ALREADY been ruined by people who
amuse themselves by hurting immense
trunks of pine trees into them in order
to see the water force them high in the
air. In many cases these logs have
stuck in the water apaItures, and have
completely stopped the spouting. In
Wyoming the people are taking steps
to put stop to such vandalism, and
the wholesale slaughter Of buffaloes
and other game by tourists.
The adulteration in drugs that is
said to be going on is a matter Of
serious import, and the London Satur-
day Re0ielC discusses ii as follows:
cit is astonishing how little suspicious
even suspicious people are Of the drugs
they take when they are i'll. Thcy are
quite alive to the prevalence Of adul-
teration in other trades, but they viii
swallow medicines hastily fetched
from the nearest chemists without SO
much as misgiying that they are not
in all respects what they profess to be.
Yet in nothing is adulteration so easy
and so profitable as in drugs. The
taste will some times do something
toward detecting it in articles of food,
but in medicines the taste is almost
powerless. The patient classes the
remedies he is condemned to take
under the general heads Of nauseous
and not nauseous, and he does not care
to draw any finer distinctions. Genu-
inc drugs are often extremely costly,
so that the gains which can
be made by substituting other
substances for them may easily be
very large. Yet in no trade are the
effects of adulteration so disastrous as
Al Uia'U VI VIC uluSSloI' AuulIcidI'u
food or drink may. sometimes provoke
disease, but adulterated drugs are use
less to cure it. 1t is impossible to say
how many cases deaths have been
set to the violence Of the malady or to
want of skill on the part of the doctor
which have really been caused by
worthless medicines. The doctor or
dered the medicines he thought appro-
pirate, and if actually administered
these remedies would probably have
been sufficient to check the course of
the disease. But what was admins
tered was not these remedies, but
counterfeit of them, and, though the
patient did not detect the difference,
the disease did, and the patient died.
How to insure that drugs shall be
what they profess to be is one of the
most important problems in practical
medicine, and one to the solution of
which very few contributions have
yet been made.

head of the executive committee, has
issued report which informs us that

carrier boats; four money prizes,
offered by Ashmead Bartlett Burdett
Coutts for the best collection of fishing
rods; prize of 800, given by the
Baroness Burdett Coutts, for the best

$500 for the best model of carrier
boat, the boat to be specially adapted

FACTS AND COMMENTS.

Ellwood Cooper, Of Santa Barbara,
the leading olive grower of California,
says he has trees eight years old that
have produced 1000 gallons of olives
to the acre. This would be equivalent
to 250 gallons Of oil to the acre, and
the oil finds a ready market at SIS
gallon. The yield of one acre would
thus be 81 ,250, which for q 100-acre
ranch would be pretty fair income.
But these figures are not represented
to apply to any except the very
choicest trees, and an uncommonly good
year. But even computing profits of
olive culture at as low figure as one
tenth, a twenty-acre ranch would sup
port family very comfortably after
six or seven years Of waiting.
Half of life of sixty years spent
in the Eastern penitentiary at Phila-
delphia by Jack Canter, one of the
most expert forgers in the country,
has come to an end Having brushed
his thin gray hair and his mustache,
he called for his shoes and broadcloth
suit. The insatiate moth, however,
had riddled the overgaiters and feasted
royalty on the garments. He had to
buy new outfit, which he was well
able to do, as he had a credit of several
thousand dollars with the warden.
When the new clothes and carriage
came he shook hands with the gate
keepers, stepped into the carriage and
drove away to prominent hotel.
Some say he has $4,000, and some say
more, with which to sustain his new
station as a private gentleman. He is
well educated, writes and speaks
several languages, and has Travelled a
great deal and mingled in good society.
The United States eXpend $S4,000,-
600 a year upon education. The
figures from all the States and Terri
tories have been collated from official
sources by the bureau Of education at
Washington, and various other inter
esting items are included in the great
statement. In pa cities, each with
more than $500 inhabitants, there is
a school population of 1861 ,49S, with
an average daily attendance of 1,105,-
763, and an aggregate annual eXpend-
iture of more than $25,OOO,0OO. The
city of New York heads the list, with
3S5,000 children of school age, of
whom 270,176 are enrolled in 127
schools; the annual expenditure being
in round numbers $3,400,000. There
are in the different States 220 normal
schools, 1862 business colleges, 232
kindergartens, 227 colleges in which
women are RECEIVED, 80 scientific
schools, 1+2 schools of theology and
120 medical colleges and schools.
