The police of Paris do not seem to
be exactly "the finest police force in
the wurrld, sur" 1t is the common
complaint either that they are too
lax and permit scoundrels to go scot
free, or too severe, and club innocent
people. There has been reported re-
Gently the singular performance of the
arrest of a woman and her detention
for five days on the charge of insult
ing an officer, but without any kind of
trial, the excuse for this high-handed
act being that the roll of accused per-
sons was so heavy that there was not
time to send the case before magis-
trate. Meantime her husband and FAM
lily, quite ignorant of her whereabouts
Gor while at the Prefecture of Police
she was not allowed to communicate
with her home), of course suffered the
greatest anxiety on her account. This
occurrence got into all the papt rs and
there was great cutlery, SO entirely
have the practices of the glorious
times before the revolution. when
men were seized and put to death or
banished without trial, been departed
from. And yet the spy system still
exists. though greatly modified.
Against the regular French police
nothing can be said, save that they
are often violent and presumptuouS;
their honesty is great. and they are
most punctuI and temperate. But
the clandestine employees OF the Pre-
lecture de P;slice, such as the Agents.
des Moeurs. are too frequently IN

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-09-27

The most recent accounts to
show that the reported damage to the
corn crop in the Northwestern states
has been exaggerated. The August re-
port gave the average in the corn
crop as SO, one more than in July.
This average of SO pointed to crop
of about 100000 bushels. The bulls
and bears are disputing as to whether
this should be discounted by or 10
per cent, on account of the recent
frosts. The area of the corn crop of
1888 was estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture at 100000
acres, an increase of 100000
acres, in round numbers, over the
area of 1882. The crop of 1882
amounted to 1,625,OOOOOO bushels,
which was about $4,000 less than the
crops of 1880 and 1879, but was 43O.-
100000 bushels greater than the crop
of 1881, and considerably in excess of
any prior crop to 1879. The average
crop from 1895 to 1879 was about
1,35O,OO0,OO0 bushels. The average
yield of corn in the last decade has va
ried between 1876 bushels per acre, in
1881, as the minimum, and 29.1 BUSH
els per acre in 1879, as the maximum.
A general average is probably about
q bushels per acre. The acreage of
1888 would yield, at the maximum,
1885, 100000 bushels, at the minimum,
1895, 100000 bushels, and at the gen.
sral average of ~ bushels, 1,840,OOO,-
