THE CORN CROP.
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa Report the
Poorest Crop in Many Years.

CHICAGO, November 22.-Reliable re-
ports of the corn crop of 1883 for the
states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas
and Nebraska have been received. The
advlces from the three states first named
are, with a few local exceptions, of SINH
Lar character, and all are unanimous III
the statement that it is the poorest crop
harvested in many years. The disore-
pRncy Ppplies more to the quality than
the quantity of grain raised. The
corn was damp and soggy when
the first frosts occurred, and as
o result was frozen hard. Then
came milder weather, which was followed
by rains, and the corn thus had no
chance to dry out and become hard and
mature. The consequence Is that large
percentage Of the grain is soft and fit
only as food for hogs and other stock.
The question of seed for next year
Will prove most serious one, sas there
Will be q large deficiency. The re-
ports from Kansas Ere Of % particular
ly cheerful character. The state will
harvest the largest crop eve. grown in
her borders, and the grain is of an ex-
ira good quality. Many of the farm
ers not satisfied with prevailing prices.
are cribbing their corn and will hold it
Tor o rise. But very small percentage
OF the crop In Nebraska was injured by
frost, and the grain is hard, sound and
IN excellent shape in every respect.

FRANCE AND TONQUIN.

Although no formal declaration of war
has been made by France against China,
it is not unlikely that a cG8uS bella has
already been given. There is naturally
considerable excitement In Paris over
the reported advance of the French
forces upon Sontay, and rumors of a
French repulse add to the prevailing
agitation. The Bourse is frightened by
alarming news, and one disseminator
of evil tidings has been arrested. As it
has already been announced that the
French advance would begin some time
between November 18th and Goth, there
is probability that the news-mongers
are merely specializing at guesses on the
truth. The French journals are motor
iously untrustworthy in all matters of
alleged news, and, since the Franco
Chinese complication has seriously deep
ened, they seem to vie with each other
In issuing contradictory bulletins. There
is no trustworthy report that hostilities
have begun, much less that the French
have been defeated. But if an attack
has not been made, there is every reason
to believe that that movement cannot be
long postponed.

ture.

Lord Coleridge, the chief justice Of
England, has been paying us visit
Before leaving, he was rendered recep-
ton in the Academy of Music, in New
York, where he made a sensible and
felicitous speech. What struck him, he
said, was our great middle class. 1t was
evident that more people owned their
own homes and farms in the United
States than in any other nation. he did
not think we ought to boast quite SO much
Of the biguess of our country. Quality
was of more importance than size.
Lord Coleridge, however, ventured upon
one criticism. He thought justice was
swifter, surer, and better administered
In Great Britain than in this country.
The complaint of the laws delay was
truer of the United States than of other
nations. What he said was true enough,
and he might have been still more Sc
we're In his condemnation of our Ameri-
can legal machinery. All our courts
are in arrears and everything is done to
procrastinate trials and swell the fees of
lawyers. But then we are ruled in this
country by lawyers. Nearly all our
presidents, cabinet officers, governors,
members of congress and Legislators are
lawyers. That class Is supreme; hence,
insensibly, matters are so fixed as to add
to the emoluments and fees of the fa-
vored ruling caste. Another English
man, Matthew Arnold, is also on visit
to this country, and will doubtless write
about us. He is man Of great culture,
brilliant essayist, as well as poet of
some merit. He is the apostle of the
creed of sweetness and light" He
has written about America already, in a
way to give offense to some of our peo-
pie. What he will say about US upon
his return, will be read with great inter-
est, not only by Americans butby Euro
peans, as he is trained observer and
critic, and writer Of force and origin

UNITED STATES MAILS.

The commission which has been in
vestigating the transportation of mails
by railroads, under the provision of an
appropriation by congress, has made its
report, which will be transmitted to con-
gress the coming session. The report
will be accompanied with bill, which
is believed by the commission to be a
great Improvement on the present law,
under which the compensation is deter
mined by weights solely, without regard
to the space occupied by the mails or
the speed at which they ora carried.
The proposed bill VIII provide for pay
ments by weight, but will also take into
account the amount of space occupied
by the mails and the speed of the train
upon which they are transported. This
plan, if adopted, will secure to the gov
eminent what it pays for, ana to the
railroads fair compensation for the ac-
commodations and facilities furnished.
1t will encourage the railroads to pro-
vide suitable accommodations for rail-
way postoffices and to run postal cars on
fast trains. It will also circumscribe
the limits of official discretion In the
matter of fixing rates of compensation
for the railway mail service.

Learn a Trade RoYs.

Boys, learn a trade. Learn trade
even if you are In a position which may
seem to insure you against want as long
as you may live. You may not follow a
trade for a living, but tune invested in
learning trade, and learning it thorough
Iy, is the layins away of capital stock
on which you may find it very con-
venient to draw some day. Life is said
to be an uncertain existence. 1t is, so
far as wealth is concerned. You may
be rich man to-day, but by some I'M
lucky investment which made great pro-
misses at the start, and failed, you are
poor man. With good trade under
such circumstances, you have nothing to
fear. You have an exhaustless reserve
fund to draw from. Not only learn the
theory of a trade but learn its practical
worth, and learn it thoroughly. In ~the
Carriage Makers Convention at New
Haven, Conn, after the Committee on
Apprenticeship had reported In favor of
restoring the old system Of ipdenturing
apprentices until they reach their
majority, John ". Britton, of New
York. said: 'One of the serious wants
of this country, and our trade is good
boys. Our boys are deterioratiDg, as
are our men. The greatest difficulty
that we experience in New York, is that
of getting boys who have brains and are
willing to learn trade thoroughly. The
example Of men who have made millions
in few years, is held up before our
boys in school, and the boys become in
famed with the notion that they must
make their millions and be able to found
crossroads colleges before they die. So
they eschew trades and become poor
professionals. America to, day depends
upon Europe for her most skilled and
finest workmen, simply because her
young men slight the minuti@ of the.
trade they go to learn, and merely OBJ
tain superficial or general knowledge
of 1t. We have too many professional
men in the country to day, and as the
speaker above referred to says, our
schools love to dwell too much on the
achievements of professional men. A
man with trade, trade well learned,
next to the farmer, is the most indepen-
dent, and most to be envied among men.
He is prepared for any emergency.

What Bones Are Used For.

From the Syracuse Standard.
A recent visit to Breer's honeyard re-
vealed to Standard reporter some in
terestipg facts in regard to the utilza-
ton of the bones and flesh of dead
animals. When a horse dies the bone
man pays from 81 to So for the carcass
delivered at his unattractiye place of
business. The same enterprising citizen
collects all the bones he can get from
near and far. He buys all that the
slaughter houses have for sale, and
does not disdain accessions of dogs and
horses which have been for some days
in the canal. The boneman's business
is said to be extremely profitable, as in
deed it ought to be to Offset its disgree-
able nature. A dead horse or COW on
arriving at the boneyard is first skinned,
the hide, if in good state Of preserva-
ton, being sold for leather, The car
cass is next chopped up and every bit
of it Is cast into a tank and the meat
boiled from the bones. The bones
themselves yield "bone grease" which
is sold to'the soap men and others. The
flesh, together with all the refuse or offal
of the animal, is steam dried and after
ward ground up and disposed of as
fertilizing agent. Then the bones are
collected and sent to New York city,
where they bring $50 q ton. The de-
mand for bones is very great They
are put to variety of uses, chief among
which are, first, the refining of sugar.
For this purpose they are burned or
charred in retort. The result is bone
carbon, through the agency of which
sugar is petrifed. Second, in the MAX
ing of bone phosphate, which is the
most valued of fertilizers. Hoofs and
horns are as is well known, utilized in
manufacturing industries. Thus it is
seen that every atom of the defunct
horse or COW is in some way useful and
is marketable property for which there
Is a sure demand
