The freezing, thawing and subsequent
wet weather in Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa during the time when the corn
crop was maturing has nearly ruined
the quality of the crop. 1t is soft, unfit
to put in cribs and not suitable for
seed. The farmers can only feed it to
their cattle and hogs. There is so much
understandable corn that the price of
sound corn is likely to advance in con-
sequence

house. This is an improvement over the
old way Of having general prayer-meetins
called for the purpose. And now that prayers
read over the afflicted do the desired work,
it will not be long until the proper remedies
can be forwarded by postal card. In the
same line, but in larger way, is the Rev.
Dr. Monck, of the Apostolic Church, Brook
lyn. He makes regular business of laying
on of hands, and is reported to have had
great success in curing the sick, though, the
account says, SIT is not infrequent that it
is necessary to touch a sick person two or
three times" In cases where the diseased
are unable to come to the church, the Doctor
attends to them by laying his hands on an
apron or handkerchief, which friends carry
to them. The postal-card way is certain to
be adopted sooner or later.

darkness. passing boat picked the girl up
and she was afterward sent to Hamburg. At a
railroad depot there she met again the man who
had saved her. They had been entire strangers
before, but the life-saVing episode was bond
which by all written and unwritten codes of
romance was not to be ignored. fortunately the
man, Gustave BOeek, had no other bonds in the
way, SO the couple, with little preliminary court
ship, naturally fell into sch others arms after
the fashion most approved by writer's of highly
colored fiction, which is, after all, no stranger
than truth. AS had been the previous intention,
the lovers took passage in another vessel and

THE ENGLISH BLACK COUNTRY. !"

The letters of Hon. Robert p. Porter to
the New York Tribune, from the industrial
centers of England, are causing considerable
comment in free-trade circles, the cruel facts
therein contained going far toward disproy-
ing their pet theories. That they are true in
their statement of facts as he sees them there
can be no doubt, and their revela-
tons are such that honest men in America
can but congratulate themselves that the
same condition OF affairs does not exist here.
1t is sufficient, without comment, to repro
duce portions of his last published letter,
written from Lye Waste, Worcestershire, in
which region the women and young girls
attend the nail and bolt FORCES the same as
men. Here are few extracts;
1.-The inhabitants of this desolate district
are among the most industrious, and yet the
most wretched in England. They are en-
gagged in making all kinds of nails, rivets
and chains The work is done in little
'smithys' attached to the novels in which the
workers reside, and for which the usual rent
seems to be about rs 4d to Is Cd
week, trifle over fifty cents These
houses, as rule contain little or no furni-
ture. They are filthy and wretched beyond
description. What spare time the unhappy
nailer's wife gets from nursing the baby and
preparing the meager meals, is spent at the
smithy fire pounding away at the anvil until
late at night. But the extra work that the
woman does, combined with that of one
child-say a girl of fourteen-will barely
keep the family from starvation. For exam
pie; An expert mailer, working steadily
from Monday morning to Friday night, can
only make two and a half bundles of iron
rods into nails, for which he gets 6s I'D,
per bundle, or for his weeks work, les Sd,
exactly 81. Now, his wife, by working every
moment of her spare time and late into the
night-neglecting the wretched little
children-can make bundle of commoner
nails, for which she is paid IS ID and the lit
tie half-starved, stunted girl Of twelve, with
her brown arms and steady unerring aim,
will hammer out half a bundle, Is 6d%.
