snow that the condition of the crop on the

1881 the average was GO and the
crop less than 5.j00,0O0 bales. The
rate of the yield per acre was a third
greater than last year. The indications
point to crop little larger than that of
1881, but falling short of the last cr0p bv
more than 100000 bales. The highest
condition is in Florida, where the small

The lowest is in Texas. The entire Gulf

HOLMAN INTERVIEWED.
His Alleged Candidacy Due to Dana's
AmiabfIitV

CiHciHRHti ComiaercjaE Gdzette
Judge Holman, how is the old ticket,
looked upon by the Democrats of the
West"' l asked, rather abruptly chang
ing the topic from principles to persons.
Il found, alter quite extensive lnoui
ries, that the people of the West look
upon Governor Tildcn and Governor Hen
bricks very favOrably," replied Dana's
tayOrite, land they believe that the great
fraud of 1867 should be vindicated by
the reelection of those candidates to the
Office of which they were fraudulently de-
prived. If the health of Mr.. Tilden will
permit his being candidate, and both he
ana Mr.. Hendricks express a willingness
to make the race, their nomination bv the
Democratic party is assured beyond any
question or doubt. The general impress
sion in the West, however, and, so far as
| know, it is the same elsewhere, is that
neither of the gentlemen will consent TO
again be candidates."
''HOw does Senator Mcdonald stand in
the estimation of the West?" | asked.
Every well indeed. He is well and
favOrably known in California and
throughout the West"
"As between Mcdonald and Hendricks
how does the favor stand ~
THAT | could not say. | heard no ex-
preston on that question. Governor
Hendricks is only talked of in connection
with the 'old ticket but l heard no COM
parison drawn between Mcdonald and
Hendricks"
"There is another gentleman" ! re-
marked, scarcely Venturing TO look at
Judge Holman, ''whOm the New York
san and quite number of other prOmi-
nent papers are advocating for the Presi-
dency."
The modest Judge Holman blushed like
bashful maiden at the early hints of
love, as he replied: "Oh, that is all due
to Mr.. Dana's amiability. That gentle
man you speak of is very humble per-
sonage, and has no such political am
bltIOn. The two men who are most talked
of by the people in the West are Judge
Thurman, of Ohio, on the Democratic
side, and +. b. Washburne on the Repub-
lican side. Both of these men are very
strong in their parties'
you don't hear much more talk about
Judge Hoadly for the Presidency, do
yOuT' | queried.
''NO; he is very kindly esteemed though
throughout the West. His speech before
the Presidential Commission i'm 1876 gave
him very high place in the estimation of
Democrats throughout the country. and
the people in the West hope very strongly
for his success"
AS we were leaving the dining room of
the Ilitzfeld House. IA few minutes after
the above conversation occurred, we met
General McChristie, of Greensburg, who
said: "Ah, Judge Holman, am glad to
see you looking well after your trip.
and hope | may see you well until YOU
become President"
"YOu always were amiable," replied
the Judge, laughing, and reaching for his

How Captain Catlin Foretens a storm .


DR.. 5. Weir Mitchell, of this city. the
eminent specialist in nervous disorders.
recently read before the PHILADELPHIA Col
lege of Physicians an interesting paper.
containing the experiences of Capt. Robt.
Catlin, of the United States army, who
claims to be able to foretell the approach
of storms by pains resulting from the loss
of foot, crushed in battle, in August,
1864. The Captain is victim of trau-
matte neuralgia, through the mutillation
OF his foot. Storms frequently announce
their coming by the twitching of his nerves
when the storm centre is at distance
of $50 miles. 1t is stated that "stOrms
from the Pacific are felt the farthest
off very soon after crossing the Rocky
Mountains. Those which move along the
coast from the Gulf of Mexico are asso-
ciated with neuralgia not quite so intense,
and are not felt, as a rule, until within
the average neuralgia distance. Should
the pain be on day of intermitting rain,
1t takes on an additional activity Just be-
fore the increasing shower, and continues
20 to 30 minutes. Each little increment
OF pain seems to bear about the same re-
lation to the showers as the main attack
bears to the storm. Eating a meal hast
ems an attack and intensifies it when on.
There is an ebb tide of pain Just preced-
ing meals, and storms coming within
range during the early and middle Sleep
ing hours do not originally arouse their
victim, but delay their attacks until
sleep becomes less profound. Intense
auroral periods are also believed to pro-
duce the pain"

DES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. II, A. Nj
Governor Sherman will have 10000 or
more over Kinne, and probably 1000 or
$1,000 over all. Judge Reed Will have
nearly the same. The Legislature is Re
publican on joint ballot by at least 40.
The House is close, but the Republicans
will have from 5 to 10 majority.
1t the Sixth Congressional district the
indications are favorable to stiles, Repub-
lican. Prohibition is probably assured.
The Democrats cOncede that sherman is
elected, but put his majority at 5000, and
concede j to s Republican majority in the
lower house Of the Legislature and l. in

hundred and thirty-three precincts show
"A net Republican loss of 1855. In 56 pre-
cincts Hayes runs some 400 votes ahead
of his ticket. Taking these figures for
basis, it is estimated that Sherman's pIu-
rality will not be less than 10000 in the
State. Reed, for Judge, will probably run
few hundred votes behind his
ticket, owing to the feeling in
some quarters on the question
of prohibition. There Is no doubt that
the Legislature is strongly Republican.
The Democratic State Committee have
closed their quarters and gone home.
They concede the State and Legislature
to the Republicans. Nothing definite has
been heard from the Sixth Congressional
district, but it is thought that Shields, the
Republican, is elected by good majority.
