EUROPEAN CROPS.

Recent cable dispatches give the gen.
eral condition of the grain crops in Eu-
rope, and show that, while the results
will be fair, there will be market for
our grain, While Holland, Belgium
and Central Europe are favored, the
prospects in Southern Europe are only
fair, and in France and Italy the yield
of wheat may be below the average.
Should the cholera spread to Turkey
and Southern Russia the grain from
that quarter will be practically shut out
from Europe, and the appearance of the
disease in India would still further re-
strict the sources from which Europe
supplies her wants. On the other hand
the market for cereals is continually
growing. The census of 1880 showed
that Germany must be in the future
classed among the industrial states, as
her agricultural population is decidedly
in the minority. Within the last eight
years she has taken her place among the
nations that import more corn than they
export. There is prospect that our
farmers may yet largely market their
surplus products in Europe.

oUACKs AND PATENT MEDICINES.

The state of Missouri has adopted a
stringent measure against quacks. No
one is allowed to practice medicine in
Missouri unless holding diploma from
a medical college of recognized stand
ing. All other practitioners must
undergo an examination before the state
board of health, which consists of seven
members, including two physicians.
Every county clerk is required to keep
a list of authorized medical practitioners
in his district, and the health board
keeps list for the entire state. This
law applies also to dentists and bone
settlers. Dealersin patent medicines are
required to take out special license,
and persons violating any of these pro-
visions are subject to a fine of not less
than $50 and not more than $500, or i'm
prisonment up to whole year. It is a
unique fact that, in this respect, Mas
sachusetts is among the least protected
states in the Union, and that Boston in
particular is very paradise for quacks.

A PeriIous Journey.


Two sprigs of the nobility, the one
English and the other Austrian, who left
Victoria last fall to cross the Rocky
Mountains on the Yeliowhead trail, have
Just arrived in the city. They tell q ter
rible tale ofwhat they went through on the
trip. 1t was too late when they started, and
the excellent fishing along the Thompson
Rriver temped them to put off the difficult
part of the journey untile winter had
actually set in. They managed, how
ever, to keep on the trail, but the deep
snow, In the canyons made their progress
very slow, and as they could not get any
hay for their horses two of the animals
soon died, and the other team were
reduced to mere skeletons. They could
hardly draw the tent and other utensils
of camp life. About half way across
the mountains their food supply gave
out, and starvation stared them In the
face. They trudged along for two days
without bite but few frozen biscuits
and the bark of trees. They camped at
night In the shelter of a huge projecting
rock, and while gathering wood to make
fire one of them discovered cave near
by, which he entered from curiosity,
thinking it would make a good grave for
them. To his establishment and delight
he found a quantity of ham, buffalo
meat, and corn meal in it, moldy, but
still very palatable food under the circum-
stances. Unjust have been stored there
by surveying party in 1876, as this
was the date of papers found among the
parcels. They made fresh start, carry
ing all the provisions they could on their
backs, and by the middle of January
they descended into the Peace River val
ley, where band of Indians supplied
them with enough frozen fish to last
them till they reached Edmonton. They
were none the worse for their adventure,
but they would not care to go through
it again. Like Joaquin Miller's squaw,
they look as wrinkled and brown as bag
of leather.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST Is, 1888.
A YEAR OF CALAMITIES.

This is unquestionably the year OF
calamities. Recently we published the
intelligence of an earthquake which
destroyed a town on the island of
Ischia, just off Naples, in the Medi-
terranean, wiping out 5000 lives.
Ischia is a part of what Buchanan
Reade POLITICALLY terms "the volcanic
lands" It is an igneous island, the re-
suit of an upheaval itself, and its
highest point, Monte Epomeo, is an
active volcano. Several earthquakes
have already visited the island, and yet,
at last accounts, $4,000 people made
their homes there, with wholesale death
staring them in the face hourly. The
island contains about $4,000 square
miles, and is noted for It's rich soil and
the excellence of its fruits. The whole
region, embracing the range of Sicily,
Strombola and Etna, rests over a
seething mass of fire, and is honey
combed from end to end. One of these
days the city of Naples may take a
notion to slide into the bay. Certainly
no surprise will be occasioned when it
is shaken to pieces by an earthquake.

AMERICAN SOIL.

If only the native productions of
American soil are displayed to foreign
er he is impressed with their diversity,
and astonished at the varieties of soil
and climate which they evidence. To
our own minds, however, the way in
which the marvellous capacity of the
country is best brought out is by re-
viewing the number of products which
are now cultivated to advantage and to
the profit of large sections of the coun-
try, but which are ours by adoption on
". From the earliest settlement of the
continent experiments have been made
in the domestication of alien plants and
animals, and In nearly all cases some
part of the country has furnished soil,
temperature and humidity suited to the
demands of the foundlings. The state
ment that successful attempts to raise
olives have been made in Georgia is the
most recent proof of the ability of the
country to reconcile all transpIanted life
TO new surroundings.

A telegram from the Spanish frontier under

grave and bands of armed men have marched
north, their object being to concentrate at
some selected point for a combined movement.

the morning of the 9Th. The civil guard were
not molested by the smgents and remained in
their ban acks, but the rebels expelled the mil
itary governor of the town. Ten battalions of
infantry and six batteries have been sent from
Barcelona to 500 de Urgel to suppress the out
break there. Great agitation prevails at Bar

IMPORTED RAGS,

The importation of rags from Egypt
to this country is largely in the control
of one firm In New York. The cargo
that created the recent scare, lest the
cholera should be spread by that means,
was consigned to this firm, and its de-
tention caused them some little annoy
ance, because, as they say, the fright
was so ridiculous, for the reason that
the rags were packed before the cholera
broke out in Egypt. This firm avow
that there is no possible danger of in
lection, as they were baled and stored in
Alexandria, a city free from contagion,
long before the first case appeared in
Damietta. Any danger of getting rags
containing the germ of cholera is dis
claimed, for the reason that their
agents in that country would be as
10th to handle or pack rags thathad been
exposed to infection as the firm in this
country would be to receive them. The
cargo protested against cleared from
May 18th.

Tar and Feathers.

Mrs. Engstraw, Of Bird Island, Mimi, left
her husband, who is a cripple, a short time
ago. ana went to her fathers house in the
neighborhood. Soon afterwards one of her
children was taken i'll. and the father went
after his wife to get her to come home and
care Tor the child. When he arrived, the
woman's father and a man named Stokes
elected him from the house, and in the melee
the cripple was pretty severely injured. The
neighbors, getting wind of the affair, pro-
posed to tar and feather Stokes. who, it was
claimed, was at the bottom of the trouble.
One of the parties. named Desmond, got
drunk and gave the thing away to Stokes on
the 9th inst. They made an attempt to carry
out their plan, but were met by Stokes, who
shot one of them in the face with a shot
gun. Thereupon they changed their plans
and gave their coat Of feathers to Desmond.

SUING BANK STOCKHOLDERS.

The suits brought by Receiver Will
liams against the stockholders of the
City Bank of Jersey City, for wrecking
which Boice and Shaw are now perform
ing hard labor at Trenton, should pro-
duce serious condition of mind among
the holders of stock IN other banks. In
national banks and in most state banks
shareholders are liable for an amount
equal to the par of their shares, and the
Jersey City stockholders against
whom two suits have been begun
will doubtless be made to suffer
severely for their negligence in
permitting pair of rogues to have en-
tire control of their bank. Receiver
Williams demands so per cent. of the
as1ount of their shares to make up the
deficiency due depositors, and the Sec
ond suit is to recover deposits which
they received after the bank became in
solvent. Their punishment will perhaps
impress upon other holders of bank
stock a sense of the responsibility which
such possession involves. 1t will be
strange if vast number of discreet per-
sons who have an interest In banks do
not insist upon the employment of ex-

A Princes Power 70 Kill.

From the London Daily News.
An important state trial has recently
taken place at Rangoon. A Shan prince
soiourning in British Burmah, being
prosecuted at the sessions for murder,
demurred to the Jurisdiction of the
court; averring that he was invested
with the power of life and death over
his subjects and retainers, and had,
therefore, committed no crime under
his law. The British court Of Rangoon,
abiding by the Indian penal code, over
ruled the demurrer, and he was tried
and found guilty. The case has since
come on upon appeal before the special
court, which, however, confirmed the
finding and the sentence Of death.
CuriousIy enough, the view taken by
the prince of his prerogative appears to.
excite sympathy If organs representing
native opinion. The paper called Refs
and Rayyet, for example, observes that
sit may readily be believed that as
Shan chief the accused thought nothing
of cutting down one of his Shan fol-
lowers who had done wrong, and that
he honestly believed in his right. ,"
The writer adds that the argument of
the appellate judges is far from con-
yincing. and is worth nothing in a
court In ASIA" On these grounds
hope is expressed that "Mr. Cross.
thwaite will see his way to a reprieve, !"
or, failing this, that ''the vlceroy will
come to the rescue.

{" Ambassador of Commerce. ;,

[From the Hartford Post.J
Not long ago Hartford drummer was
warned of the crusty disposition of re-
taller in one of the central New York
cities, and informed that while he had
better call upon him, the firm would not
be disappointed should he fail to tran
sact any business. "I'll sell, said the
Hartford boy, confidently. Arriving at
the city in question, he paid his first
call upon the man he had been warned
against. He found him sitting upon a
high stool before desk, porting over the
pages of a ledger, AS the drummer
entered he just turned MS head, took in
the sample case, said: "Hump," and
went on with his figures. After a lapse
of five minutes he said without looking
up:
eff you're drummer I don't want
to see you, so don't waste time here"
but I'm not drummer" was the
reply.
"'What in are you, then ?" inquired
the retailer.
CT am an ambassador of commerce, :"
answered the salesman, nothing daunted.
Ambassador what we'll I can't talk
with you"
"H you only knewit, there's man in
one of the leading institutions In Hart
ford that would givea hundred dollars to
talk with me.
"What sort of a man is he %
"He's deaf and dumb"
At this response tie retailer came down
from his high stool and before he left
the drummer had his name in his book
for handsome bill OF goods.

An Old Charge Against Jews.
From the New York Tribunal


The trial of tn Jews accused of MUIR
dering Christian child and of mixing
her blood with their Passover bread. in
small city of Hungary. is almost pre-
cisely similar in details to that of the
ninety-two Jews who were tried at
Westminster, A. D., 1850, charged with
the murder of Hugh of Lincoln, boy
OF s. Hugh's body being found in the
well OF Hebrew usurer, it was de-
clared that he had been crucifed by
the principal Jews of England and his
blood mixed with their bread; where
upon the boy was elevated into saint,
whose bones had healing qualities.
Eighteen of the Jews, who were mad
enough to demand that they should
not be judged by Christians alone,
were sentenced by Henry VIII. to be
drawn IN his presence, which was done,
we are told, in the morning; and after
the king had his dinner they were quar-
tered" The property of the ninety-two
Jews were seized by the rapacious
Queen Eleanor which conclusion ex-
plains the whole story from the begin
ming. The famous burning of Jews IN
Brussels in 1870 grew out of similar
charge, only there it was the sacred wa
tiers that were profanely stabbed and
Immediately became alive, spouting
blood with groans and cries. In short,
whenever the money or land of the
Jews was wanted by the king or the
church in any European country this
story of the murdered child and Pass
over bread has cropped up. If the re-
ports are true of the present trial in
Nyireghyhaza, it will prove quite as eff
fective IN wringing money out of the
Jews as it has ever done
