as ar WiIde-He Doesn't Like American
Newspapers.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
NEw YORK, Oct. 25.-Mr. Mathew Arnold,
in a conversation this afternoon, said
among other things: "Poor Wilde, whom
your newspapers treated SO harshly when
he was here last, did not. take away any
thing like the sum of money that was
mentioned at the time-nothing like it.
I was sorry to find he was so badly used,
for there is latent good in him, believe.
My lectures will be in the nature of
an experiment" Mr.. Arnold cannot &C
custom himself to the newspapers. 81
cannot" he says, "yet get used to reading
these short paragraphs of your daily press
with any comfort. l am so accustomed to
go through the heavy leaders of our own
Times that to find the newspaper articles
themselves scarcely larger than the double
loaded heads you put over them, disturbs
my sense of proportion. 1 suppose that
the practice comes, as some one has sug
gested to me, from your American habit
of reading in the cars and omnibusses.
The American newspaper page has a frag
mentary look TO me.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25.-The wind has
ben blowing from the northword for d
week, lacking ore day, and navigation at
this and other Lake Michigan ports is at a
stand still. All the docks between East
Water street bridge and Wolf g. Davison's
yard, al the slips and all the branches ere
filed with wind bound crafts, and reports
from Racine, Sheboygan, Manitowoc and
smaller ports show the same condition of
affairs, nothing having moved during the
week. Among the fleet are steam craft
grain laden vessels and large number OF
vessels bound for Escanaba. 1t is esti-
mated that over 100 wind bound vessels
are in port here to-day. The loss to own
ers by the delay is said to be very heavy.

An Ingenious American Engineer i'm
China.
Mechanical Engineer.1

An American engineer of long experience
in one of the Oldest marine engine shops in
this country went to China some few years
since and took charge of a line of steamers
there. One of these vessels had Hirsch
wheel, which is variable in pitch, and as it
did not prove satisfactory, the American
engineer demanded of the makers of the
engines, Randolph & Elder, Glasgow, another
kind, forwarding a drawing Of the one
wanted, which was simply a true screw eleven
feet diameter. Randolph & Elder replied in
due course, declining to furnish another, say
ing that if the Hirsch wheel was taken off
the vibration would be very great, and
further that the drawing sent was evidently
made by a person unacquainted with screw
propulsion!
In going up the river subsequently the ship
lost her wheel and had to have another.
Being unable to get one otherwise, the Amer
lean engineer had a screw made in China BY
native moulders, sweeping it up in the usual
way. There being no large foundries then,
the iron was melted by natives in small cru
cibles and poured into a large ladle, which
was kept hot until it was full by fire exter-
nally. The casting was a complete success,
and the ship made two miles an hour better
time than with the HirSch wheel.

FARGO, Oct. 25.-The latest sensation
in regard to the gold discoveries about
Lisbon is the report to-day that gold has
been found in the immediate vicinity of
the town. A placer claim on 200 acres in
the Lisbon town site has been fled to-day,
being land on both sides of the Cheyenne
river: one and quarter miles in length.
A mining association has been organized,
comprising large number of prominent
citizens of Fargo and Lisbon. The dis
covery of gold was made By John Kingr,
who has brick yard on the premises. 1t
is discovered that no patents have been is
sued on the land, and it is said that the
whole town will at once be covered by

New ToRK, Oct. 25.-The action brought
by John A. Wash against Thomas ]. Brady

The matter came up on motion to vaoate
the order granted for the examination of

upon claim of about $4,000. The or
der was vacated. II connection with this
suit an order has also been obtained to
examine Senator VIM. P. Kellogg rs a
witness, so that his deposition could be
used upon the trial. Senator Kellogg. ia
an aff1ayit, says the order was not Oh
tanned IN good faith, but was intended 70
prejudice him on his trial on indictments.
Judge Barrett vacated this order.

speak particularly of Ainsworth, because,
as has been said, there is not a spot between
Fargo and Portland which in appearance is
less inviting to the farmer. The outlook is
simply disheartening. The town is railroad
settlement, owing its existence to the fact
that big bridge Is building over the Snake
liver at that point
A year or two ago it occurred to a German
blacksmith named Schunemann, who had
found it hard to support his wife and children
at the east, that this Sahara, tufted with sage
brush, might not be SO bad as it looked. He
took up quarter section of sage and sand,
and bought some adjoining land of the same
sort from the railroad company, paying the
lowest price on the schedule, Sc. 60 an acre.
Then he began to try to raise crops without
artificial irrigation
"What did people say?' remarked Schune-
mann, cutting as good watermelon as is Of
ten sold in Washington market. "They said
was a id fool"
Out of the sand, stripped of its sage brush,
MIR. Schunemann has raised wheat, forty
bushels to the acre, or three times the aver
age acre yield of the whole country, and
two-thirds of the yield of the crack land in
the Gallatin valley. He has raised oats, bar
ley, millet, and rye, all Of excellent quality,
and in remunerative quantities. He exhibits
pumpkins, squashes, beets carrots, and pota-
toes, these vegetables being larger and fuller
than their kinds as we are accustomed to see
them and eat them at the east. His corn
fourishes, especially some of the dented vari-
cites. His tomatoes are creditable. He has
planted fruit trees, apple, pear, and peach,
and they are doing well, but are
still too young to bear. The same
may be said of the small fruits,
the raspberries and blackberries. His
melons are first-rate in flavor; young neigh
Dor OF his, a practical farmer from Wiscon-
sin, who followed the pioneer into the Aims
worth desert, told me he had sold S4O0 worth
of watermelons this season. Mr.. Schune-
marn believes he can add grapes to the long
list of products which he cultivates with
profit; in fact, he believes that anything will
grow in the sage brush desert. He dug a
well and struck water at twenty eight feet,
but does not irrigate his fields. "Where does
the moisture come from!' he was asked. 81
don't know" said he, "unless it rains up on
the roots from under ground"
All this has been done in almost rainless
seasons, on parallel Forty-six, the latitude of
Moosehead lake and Montreal, without arti-
fetal irrigation, and in soil which thousands
of the neediest emigrants had passed over
with scorn. Schunemann's is single case,
and it is not mentioned as typical; but the
pluck Of the man, the absence of anything on
his part like a desire to "boom the coun try"
and the contrast between the prospects and
results of his experiment struck me as re-
markable

The Pat riarchaI Circle.

The decision which was finally reached
was to the effect that the circle should con-
stltute a separate society, as distinct from
Odd Fellowship as Masonry is. The mem
bers are still Odd Fellows, but candidates
will gain admission hereafter by election
and not by promotion. The demand of
the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows
that the qualification of the royal purple
adopted by the circle should be abolished
is thus thought to be avoided and the
members saved from accommodation.

1t is inexcusable perhaps to dispel so pleas

They are a singular and interesting people,
who defy the United States of America to
collect tax on spirits They are out of
chronological order. For twenty-oro years
the excise laws have been of force, and yet
the patriotic red men, who, with revolution
airy ardor emptied the tea in Boston Ilarbor,
were not more hostile to the stamp tax, or the
tax on tea than the moonshiner u the revenue

a NOvelist's Strange Disease.


The external symptoms Of the deep-lyins
disease of Turgeneff, the Russian novelist,
were those of cancer. His complexion was
as of yellow wax; in no position was the suf-
ferer at rest; his nights were full of terrors;
shooting pains, Ike those Of toothache, ex-
tended over sets Of nerves, at times paralyzed
the limbs and rendered breathing difficult,
but the patient could not point out the seat
of the disease. All he could say was that his
whole body was as it were a swollen
foot in tight boot and that he was obliged
to keep walking The post mortem finally
discovered that his disease was a cancer in
the spinal marrow, and that an affection of
the heart which he exhibited was only a re-
aay rDoladu
