An unIuckY Number

English papers tell an amusing story
of q Well-knOWn banker OF Llege, b 5lg1-
UNI. A short time ago he gave little
dinner party, to which ten guests had
been hidden, beside himself and wife,
making twelve in all. They were just
about to sit down when in dropped q
friend from the autipodes, and invited
himself to dinner, thus making the fatal
number thirteen. The banker, to pre-
vent ilI-luck, rushed down stairs to his
Office, found the cashier just about to
leave for the evening, dragged him up
stairs, fitted him with a dress coat, and
led him triumphantly into the drawing
room amid the applause of the relieved
guests, three of whom declared that they
would not sit down to the best dinner
ever served if there were thirteen at ia
BILE. At that moment the bell rang, and
a note was brought for one of the guests
whose wife had suddenly fallen i'll, and
who consequently was unable to remain.
Thirteen again! Gloom and despair; and
the cashier, finding himself the Jonah
of the evening, volunteered to depart.
The banker saw him down stairs, and
was expressing his regret when-joy!-
the family doctor heaved in sight. Him
the host secured, and, happy in being
able to offer the hospitalities of his table
to his kind hearted and sorely- tried en-
plove, the three returned to the draw
ing-room. Dinner was ordered to be
placed upon the table, but, just as all
was ready, the hostess, who was IN deli
cate health, and who had been Hnduly
excited by all the untoward events, faint
ed dead away and had to be put to bed.
Thirteen again! This time there was
nothing for the cashier but to go and
dine with what appetite he might at the
nearest restaurant.

in Paris placards six feet long offering
gratuitous instruction IN art to every
person employed in certain trades who
would come to accept it. lie found
schools of art, which were attended by
hundreds and thousands of students, es-
tablished in every part of the country.
These schools were supported not only
by government aid, but also by different
MUNICIPALITIES out of the usual rates and
taxes. Thus, all the artisans of Paris
and large number of those in the
country were receiving gratuitous art
instruction. At Rouen artisans might
be seen in multitudes working ut their
studies at night, five or six nights in
the week. At Liege, ID Belgium, with
its population of 100000, 5000 young
men were at work in the art and science
schools every night. In strong contrast
to all this, the city of New York expends
about 81, 0O0,O00 annually for public IN
structicD of more or less fanciful and
useless character, but not dollar for
industrial education, and IN this regard
the experience of New York is that Of
nearly every city III America.

Clark Mills Furnace

The late Clark Mills was a man of or
iginal ideas and determination to carry
them into effect. Thirty-one years ago,
when he built furnace in Washington,
in which to melt the bronze for his great
statue of Jackson, scientific men ridi-
culed him for constructing it partly IN
derground. Away down there, they said.
there would not be oxygen enough to
melt bronze. He answered that he would
secure sufficient heat by preventing it's
escape through the chimney. On a
South Carolina farm, he said, he once
knew q heavy iron chain to be missing.
After long search it was found melted
into shapeless, at the bottom of char
coal pit. If there was heat enough con-
fined in that pit to melt iron, he felt sure
that he could melt bronze in his half
underground furnace. So he persevered,
and the logic of events in time proved
he was right.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1888.
THE GRAIN CROPS OF 1882.

By the latest figuring of the agricul-
Jural bureau at Washington it is report
ed the corn crop of 1882 is placed at
1856 .000,00 bushels, and the yield of
wheat at 10,000,00 bushels. These
estimates may be accepted as probably
not far from the amounts which will be
shown by the official and final returns,
and the results are highly encouraging.
Considering the fears which were freely
expressed for the corn crop in the early
part of last summer it appears from the
agricultural bureaus data to have been
exceptionally good. Up to 1879 the
maximum yield of Indian corn in this
country (Which occurred IN that year,
was l, SAT, 901, 900 bushels. Last years
crop, by the above estimate, exceeds
that of 1879 by 81, 900, 900 bushels, and
falls only about 207, 000,00 under the
crop of 1880. 1t fully justides the pre-
diction which the Herald made as early
as August I'd, that the estimates then
made of the probable yield of the corn
crop would have "to be revised and en-
Iarged." The latest official estimate of
that years wheat crop places it at about
60,000,0 900 bushels more than that of
1873, so, 900, 900 more than that of 1879,
and 100000 more than that of 1880.
The past year will, therefore, be mem
orable in the agricultural annals of the
country as one of fruitful seasons, fill
ing not only our own land but others
with food and gladness. While the
present winter began with some severe
weather ID the northwest the recent
conditions have been comparatively
nild over the country generally, SO that
there is now no unmistaBable menace of
hard winter, such as that of 18S0-'81
cold of ffty-nine degrees below zero
lin which on December 29th the terrible
was registered in MCntana) to mar the
crop prospects Of the new year.

Great excitement has been caused throughout
Alabama by the announcement made IN a
message from the governor 10 the legislature
that State Treasurer Vincent had decamped
after having absorbed large amount of the
public funds. The committee counted the
money in the treasury vault and found
1852, 800. The deficit is 1927, 0OO, amply
secured by good bondsmen. It has devei-
oped that the money was taken in the last
two years and nearly all before November
last. Vincent, by the statement of witness
before the committee, lost over 300, 900 in
cotton through one house, Fred Wolfe, and
some through others. It is surmised he
may have loaned some. The governor has
taken charge Of the keys of the treasury.
The default will not interfere with the
