Mr.. Wilson, a well known citizen
of Mono county, and who was ranch
ing here ever since the Dogtown
placsrs were discovered, SAYS the
Bodie Free F.'eSS, is now residing
down near Mono Lake. He says
that during violent electric storms
the volcanoes aud springs on the
island in the lake spout fire and
no. waller. Not three weeks ago he
witnessed the performance, and de-
scribes it rs grand. Sparks were
thrown into the air for distance of
twenty feet. In the early days-ls56
and thereabouts-the island was con
stantly agltated. Sometimes a huge
column of wafer would run up, and
the steam would he so dense as TO
hide the cliffs aud rock of the island.
Wilson is of the opinion that "ledge
matter is forming down deep it the
ground.

THE BOSTON EXPOSITION.

The Boston Exposition was formally
opened last week. The display of foreign
products was first thrown open to the public
on Monday, when speeches were made in
many tongues. On Wednesday the Ameri-
can department was opened. Gov. Butler
delivered the welcome address and was re-
sponded to by Gov. Jarvis, of North Carroll
ma, on the partof the visitors and the South.
We have not received a copy of the speech
es but know the oratory was fine. The eX-
hibition is said to be in much more adj
vanced state at the time of the opening than
was expected. TO give an idea of the eX-
tent of the affair we give the following short
extract from the report of the first days
exercises: The exhibits in the west end,
where the opening exercises were held, are
in better shape than in other parts of the
building. They were arranged by nations,
national colors being prettily displayed in
front of each country's exhibit. Brazil, Ja-
pan, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Hungary,
Algiers, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Bel
gium, Denmark, Russia, Persia, Turkey,
Siam, Cuba, Tunis, and Hawaii, were the
countries representedin the Westhall. The
display consisted largely of fabrics, especial
ly carpets, porcelain, and pottery. Between
the two halls is the art gallery, which con-
tains very good, though not many pictures.
Among them is one painted by the Princess
Louise.

adopting the profession" of which he was

duce more humane and scientific methods
into executions and to lessen the pain OF
those he was called upon to deal with.
While, therefore, his country will have
cause to regret the loss of the foremost rep

fession, the criminal classes have reason TO
mourn as humane and mild hammered
man as ever tied knot or sprung trap.
- The trial, at Galatin, Mo-, of Frank
James, the highWayman and train robber,
on the charge of being concerned in the
robbery of a railroad train, was ended last
Friday by verdict of not guilty. The
certain parts of the court room. The Court,
however, quickly frowned it down, and
singling out the young man who had made
movement to throw up his hat, called
him up to the bar and administered severe
reprimand. The young man proved to be
Luther James, of Kansas City, cousin OF
the defendant. The question as to the
disposition of the remaining indictments
against Frank James for completely in the
killing of Westfall, at Winston and the
robbery and murder of Sheets at the Gala
I tin bank robbery in 1868 was then consider
ed and the cases were continued until the
October term, the prisoner being remanded
to await further trial. 1t is announced
that he will not attempt to furnish bail but
will remain in Jail until the next term.
The prisoner received the verdict with per-
feet composure, as did also his wife, but
Mrs. Samuels, his mother, was much atfec-
ted. In order to guard against any disturb,
ance which might follow the one saloon OF
the place was closed. 1t can be truthfully
said that the verdict was a genunine sur
prise to the community, and much indigna-
ton is expressed at its nature.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.

The Septemberreturnst to the Department
of Agriculture at Washington are less fav-
orable than those of August. The principal
cause of injury is drought, which has re-
duced the prospect in every State except
Florida and Tennessee. The decline has
been greatest in Texas. In North Carolina
and Virginia the temperature has been too
low at night with serious drought The
Gulf States report more or less general pre-
valence of the caterpillar and the boil worm
at many points. The general average OF
the condition is reduced to "A. The State
averages are as follows: Virginia, y; North
Carolina, IS; South Carolina, 70; Georgia,
70; Florida, SO; Alabama, Is; Mississippi,
Is; Louisiana, II; Texas, 67; Arkansas,
80; Tennessee, SO. In Septempber of 1873
the general average of condition was So;
in 1881 it was 10; it was % in the great crop
years 1880 and 1882. In some counties the
drought still continues. In others recent
rains have caused some improvement. Rust
has appeared very generally and is most
threaenting in some districts.

lV rs small as GermanV'S

ly as small as Germany'S.
France, therefore, has provoked war where
her own interests are small, her probable
profits petty, save in prize money, and the
losses she inticts on others enormous. Her
consumption of tea is bare triflc, the least
of all civilized nations, the enhanced value
of her own silks will more than match the
loss of raw silk from China, and the market
for her own manufactures will be helped
rather than hindered. England will suffer
in her finances at home and in India, the
price of a necessity of life for her people
will be needleSSly advanced, the chief outlet
of her cotton goods will be closed, and ia
vorite field for the employment of English
shipping cut off; the United States will suf-
fer next at every like point, except her rev.
cnuc; Germany will come in for share OF
DANA &c to her growing foreign trade, and
all Europe will bear its share in the burdens
of a causeless war.
In the face of these facts, it may easily
prove that the protests of Europe will pre-
vent war and enforce peace. China has not
lacked for the powerful aid of Germany at
every step of her negotiations; the sympa-
thies of England are with China, and both
countries are in Il position to make it dan
gcrous for either combatant to refuse an
honorable mediation. Nor is the French
Government unlikely to shrink from the
untoward consequences Of an enterprise up
on which Challemel-I I.acour rashly ventures
with light heart. The Assembly which
voted $5,O0OO00 for az expedition of Ton
quin, but which refused the Egyptian cred
it, may well hesitate before a difficult and
vastly more costly conflict. The French
peasant has never borne with patience SER
vice abroad, the French army has never
been organized for campaigns beyond the
seas, and is least of aH ready for them now :;
nor is the issue of the war altogether GER
tain. France can inflict wounds upon Chi
na which that empire cannot return; but
the Asiatic power has steadily refused to
sign the articles of Paris and remains at full
liberty to prey on French merchantmen
with privateers purchased in this country or
Great Britain. BY the nature of the war,
France must do more than blockade the
Chinese coast, and, after port or two has
been shelled and the Chinese fleet driven
under cover, a landing, and still more, a
march inland will be no such easy work as
in 1859. China has shown in the last tWen-
ty years powers of growth, recuperation
and assimilation of Western ideas which
make it easily possible that in then cen
tury China and the United States will divide
between them the dominion of the Pacific,
while the present strength of China renders
it highly probable that on land France is
doomed to failure-if war comes.-Ihib0def-

Mr.. McKENZIE'S LOSS.

When last weeks issue was printed we
had only q meagre account of the burning
of Mr.. Joseph R. McKenzie's barn on Mon
day night the 9th instant. We have since
learned that his loss amounts to nearly
81 800. Besides the building, worth $3.50,
and horses and mules worth 5000, there was
also burned a thrasher and horsepower,
worth 1915; corn and other produce, worth
5000; wagon and all his harness, worth
500; straw and the fencing around the lot,
to the value of $50 was destroyed. The
fire was discovered at 10 o'clock, but it had
made such headway that any attempt to
extinguish it was entirely useless, and the
horses and mules in the stables were already
dead from suffocation. Mr.. Mckenzie has
good reasons for believing that the fire was
Of incendiary origin.

FRANCE AND CHINA.

China has acted at last and France stands
face to face with a difficult, dangerous and
doubtful war, the last, worst result of an eX-
petition begun rashly, and continued in
foolish disregard ofitSpossible consequences
TO extend the boundaries of a colony whose
chief trade has been carried on under the
English flag, and whose revenue has never
paid the cost of occupation. France has
risked war which will need land force OF
10000 men, the better part of her fleet, and
from $4,000, 600 to 500, 900 of treasure.
| The close approach of this war finds France
with 6, 800 men all fully occupied in TGuquin,
fleet large enough to seize Chinese port
or two, but unable to blockade a tithe Of the
Chinese coast, and with three
months distant, for, while France has been
able thus far to send ships, troops and sup
plies through the Suez Canal, in the prose
cuton of petty enterprises in the Tonquin
delta and on the coast of AMMAN, it is gross
ly unlikely that England, in full possession
of the Suez Canal, will permit that water
way to be used against a friendly power,
even by France.
England, it must be remembered, has in
this war all to lose and nothing to gain from
a quarrel whose early origin hasarOused the
jealousy and disturbed the trade of Great
Britain. Of the total trade of the Chinese
Will NHlNii III lo''u NSS
gated 1923, 100000, France enjoys barely Il
sixth, and her exports to China, the real
measure of the interruption of her traffic,
are barely ST ,O00, 600 annually. Great Brit
ain enjoys one-third Of the Chinese trade,
sells nearly one-half of China's imports and
buys two-thirds of China's exports, while
one-fifth of the revenue of India is derived
from opium, which will fall dead on the
market on the declaration of Chinese war.
This alone will entail sudden confusion and
hopeless loss on the delicately balanced bud
get of British India, whose enormous total
of $500 600 quivers year by year on the
edge of a deficit. Our own share in the
Chinese trade is not small, nearly a tenth of
the whole, averaging for the last three years,
over So, ,OOO, 600, and while, unlike our gen.
eral trade, it is divided between the Attain
tic and the Pacific coast, seven-eighths of it
enters at New York, Philadelphia and BOs-
ton, and q war between China and France
means silent looms at Patterson. Tothe in
terruptiOn of her direct trade, Great Britain
must add the loss of an enormous carrying
trade, 5S per cent of the II 900, 900 tons en-
ployed in the Chinese trade, coast and for
eign, being under the British flag in 1879.
For, like ourselves enjoying broad curve
of seacoast, China has coast trade equal in
value to its aggregate foreign traffic, and
employing an enormous tonnage under eve
ry maritime flag but the French, which fur
nishesa bare per cent. ofthc tonnage against

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The fear is expressed in some of the Dem
ocratic papers, that the Democracy of Ohio
made mistake in nominating Hoadley for
Governor. Though an able man, he is not
popular with old line Democrats, who prefer
a candidate whose allegiance to Democracy
is of longer standing. He salso proving,
as was predicted would be the case when he
made his first speech of the present canvass,
a very indiscreet campaigner. The Repub-
licans are now very confident of carrying
the State in the approaching election. With
them Ohio is absolutely essential to victo-
ry next year. They cannot base calcula-
ton for success in the Presidential campaign
without counting Ohioasa Republican State,
and hence their energies in the present con-
test will he redOubled.

KILLED BY A FALLING TREE.

Last Saturday evening about sundoWn,
Lancaster Bratton, colored, who lives about
six miles east of town, in the "Nation," sent
his two sons, Alexander and Beney, to the
field for some corn tops. About half an
hour after they left the house, deadened
tree in the field was blown down and in
falling it struck Alexander on the neck.
The tree crushed the bones of his face and
fractured his left thigh bone. Death re-
suited almost Immediately. An inquest

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

The trains on the Chester and Lenoir
Railroad were delayed about fourteen hours
on Wednesday of last week by the result of
anaccident occurring at Newton just as the
train started out. 1t seems that the switch
near the Newton depot was left open and
the train, running at slow speed, went
headlong into the opening before the engin-
eer made the discovery that an accident
had occurred. The engine and tender and
a box car were thrown off the track. Though
a portion of the train was thus derailed,
fortunately no one was hurt. The engine
sustained some damage, and an accident
occurring from such cause might have
proved very serious in its consequences.
The accident was Immediately investigated
and as result engineer Hughes and conduc-
tor Rummel were suspended from the SER
vice, and baggage master Jim Gill was dis
charged.
