around the depot was no great that It
required much effort on the part Of the

ments, after which Mr.. Blaine held an

the Iuean,,cide Case,

Nothing fu, ther has been developed
In the case OF the dead child found yes
terdsy morn ng on the lot at Seventh
aud Poplar streets. The Coroner spent
the greater part of sterday in trying
to find some evidence bearing on the
case, but was unsuccessful, and it Is
scarcely probable that an inquest can
be held. There are many who now
think that the body had been concealed
in the woods for several days,a pull
ed to where it was found by dog. In
confirmation of this theory, 1t is stated
that the slip on the child was filled with
burdock burrs, as though it had been
dragged through them, and also that
none of these were growing in the i'm
mediate vicinity where the body was
found. There is a deep mystery about
the whole affair that will in all proba-
bility never be unraveled.

Generosity is a privilege that a man
has no right to indulge In AZ long as he
refuses TO perform single well.defined

assert not only that all men and women
should be just before they are generous,
but that they cannot be really generous
before they are just. Should we call
that man generous who took the bread

children and gave it to another family

The Potato OrOp.

The New England Homestead pub.
fishes an elaborate report on the po.
tato crop, gathered from nearly 1000
special correspondents, which shows
that throughout Canada, New England
and New York the acreage and yield
are considerably below those of last
year. As q whole the acreage has de-
creased about l5 per cent and the yield
is about one third less than in 1888.
This makes the acreage nearly the
same as in 1882, with consid-
erably higher yield. Prices now range
from % cents per busl,ei as the lowest
shipping prices in New York State to
81 at Eastern Massachusetts towns,
averaging 35 and 80 cents per bushel.
The rot is quite prevalent and the grubs
have greatly injured the tubeTs In
many sections. The crop in the East
ern provinces and Quebec is short. In
Nova Scotia 1t is almost q complete
failure. New York's acreage and yield
are below the figures for 1888, and there
is general disposition to hold. The
Western crop Ia below the average, and
the Southern demand promises to be
larger than usual.
