THERE is a new wrinkle Just start
ed about ensilage which may be
worth thinking about-that is, to al
low onehalf the crop Of corn to ma.
ture, and after securing the ears cut
the stalks up the same as it is now
done for the silo, with the younger
corn and mixing it all in one, This
would have the advantage that while
the matured corn-stalks would bc
just as good as the other the entire
crop of grain would be secured. and
il would he Just so much gained.
or course the two crops would have
10 be planted at different dates to use
in this way. Another wrinkle is TO
allow the old corn, after the ears are
removed, TO be dried. then cut up and
add to the young green crop and
place and press in the silo.

LOUISVILLE, August7.-The returns from
the election come in slowly, but Demo-
cratic gains are reported from many conn
ties, which render IT almost .cer-
tain that Knots majority will be not
less than 10000, while the State Central
Committee al Frankfort think 1t may reach
$4,000. On the Republican ticket, Asbury,
candidate for Register for the Laud
Office; is colored man. His abil-
ity and character are good, but he ran
very much behind his ticket in most ot the
interior counties. In this city he ran
well up ahead Of his ticket. One year
ago Asbury was Republican candidate
for Congress against Joe Blackburn.
It is impossible to furnish de.
tailed: vote. tonight owing to the returns
coming in by mail at very late hour, but
the final result will be not widely differ
ent from the majority herein stated.

WASHINGTON, August 7.-The customs
division OF the Treasury Department finds
plenty OF employment in straightening out
the tangles Of the tariff, caused by differ.
ence OF opinions between Collectors and
importers, in regard to the classification OF
goods. AS many as twenty appeals have
been received at one time from various
ports, and these have increased the mum,
Der on hand, until over fifty cases have
been pending at once. Most are Of trivial
character and easily disposed Of. For in.
stance, whether small porcelain figures
should be classed as dolls or toys, the dii-
ferenca 10 duty making It an object to have
ruling contrary to that made by the COL
lector. r
The latest appeal comes from Boston
firm, importing round iron in coils for
fencing purposes, on which Collector
Worthington claims duty Of one and TWO.
tenths OF one cent per pound, according TO
a paragraph in the tariff act, which specifies
that duty for round iron in coils or rods
lea than seyen.sIxteenihs Of an iuch in
diameter. The importer claims that char.
coal having been used in the manufacture
OF the iron Il comes under another provis,
ion Of the act, which imposes duty Of but
S22 per ton, or s. less than claimed by the
Collector. The Customs Division, in look.
ing up the matter, found another section Of
The act under which the iron In question
might be classed, which would still further
reduce the duty. In making decision,
however, 1t Is likely that the higher rate
will be imposed, this being the rule in all
cases where there Is any doubt.

PrrrsBuRGH, Pa, August 1.-THE order

have been more productive Of conflicting
statements than anything else. So far as
the Pittsburgh division Of the Baltimore

the woods Near Mns0p.
LEBANON, o., August 7.-For several
weeks past the citizens Of Mason and vi
cinity have been in state OF excitement
over the discovery Of a wild man in the
woods near that place by some women and
children out blackberying. He was sleep
ing when they came upon him, and the
surprise was as great on one side as the
other. They described Kim as being en-
tirely nude, with long hair and beard, and
ola copper color. A party was organized
for his capture. Last night he vas
caught In the woods, and this
morning the Marshal brought him
here hand-cuffed, and took him before
the Probate Judge, where an inquest OF
lunacy was held. He is a German, ap-
parently unable to speak English. An in
terpreter was called in, but nothing could
be got out OF him concerning his past liie.
When -he-was told that he would be con-
fined in jail il he did not tell his name, he
fell to the floor on his face and raved and
kicked so that there was a great stampede
OF the spectators down stairs, some ofwhom
came near being ttampled to death in tie
great haste Of the crowd to get away. He
would not give his name, or tell anything
about himself.
He is a medium sized man, with old,
torn clothes, long hair and beard, and if
not actually crazy, knows how 10 play it
pretty we'll. How he has subsisted during
the time he was wandering through the
woods is a matter Of conjecture. Some
think he must have begged Of the farmers,

HUDSON, n. Y, August 7.-Mr. William
orcutt told reporter Of the extraordinary
manner in which he was cured Of painful
disease OF his eyes, that had practically
made him blind for four years. During
this time he suffered terribly, and was ali
the time under the best treatment he could
procure. At various times seventeen
medical men were engaged in his case, in.
Guiding the best oculists Of this city. They
did not give him the slightest relief. One
day, as he was sitting in his darkened
room, he overheard his wife tell friend
that the family did not expect William to
recover, but they did not tell him so
because he still had hopes Of getting well.
BE was terribly shocked by what he
heard, for he had never once lost hope OF
regaining his eyesight. He stag.
gered to his bedside, iell Of bis knees, and
prayed as he had meyer prayed before that
God would restore his sight. Suddenly he
heard voice saying, Get some clay" He
was almost overcome when he heard the
voice, but he had no doubt whatever that
the words were an answer to his prayer.
His uncle procured some, clay for him.
His wife objected to his making use OF the
clay, and Tor five days he kept It under the
stove, not knowing how It would be best
to apply it. He prayed earnestly for
guidance in the matter, and on the
fifth day, as he was sitting in his
room be heard the voice again.
It distinctly said, "Gst the clay"
He procured the pieces from under
the stove and found that they had been
baked hard, in which condition, as he
afterward found, the clay; could be most
effectively applied. He placed the clay in
contact with each eyelid, 1tstuck to them
like leeches, and finally could not be re-
moved except by using considerable force.
The removal OF the clay was followed by
the complete restoration to sight.

MADRID, August 7.-General BlaBco,
commander OF the forces in Estremadura,
will make a strict inquiry into the causes
Of the uprising at Badojoee. The papers
severely blame the officials Of Badojose for
allowing the insurgents to surprise them.
The insurgents arrested the Prefect, the
General commanding the troops and four
officers in their beds Sunday morning.
The editor OF a Republican newspaper was
one Of the leaders Of the insurgents.
ttThe Imperial says the ring leaders OF the
revolt were Colonel Gutierrez. Mayor
Marino, Lieutenant Colonel Vego and
Mayor Barrigo. The former two enlisted
thirty years ago and owe their present rank
to bravery in actien. The latter two are
distinguished officers. No news has been
received relative to their whereabouts.
Six million pesetas in gold in the bank Of
Spain at Badsjose was lett untouched by
the insurgents. Some refugees telegraphed
to newspaper that the statement that the
object OF the revolt was to conceal detic.

It Is reported the object Of the rising was
to cover up the robbery OF public money
and that deficiency OF R9,600 has been
discovered in the Badojose treasury.
