Crops Suffering From the Heat.

A Columbus. Ohio, telegram says: The
terrible heat OF the past ten days has had
the effect OF most efiectually driving up
and whitening the pastures. aud at the pre-
.ent time vegetation OF all kinds Is in q
dropping condition. The timely rains OF
July I'd to 9Th gave the corn crop lease OF
life, but what was then gained promises to
f,ll below the estimate OF the crop made on
the LIST instant. The rivers and streams are
an very low, and majority OF springs are
rlpidly drying up. The roadways through
ont Central Ohio are covered with dust to
the depth of two and three inches, and pas
mrago in all localities Is very poor. The
weather continues burning hot, no rain
having fallen in nearly four weeks.

GREEIY'S DEAD COMRADES.
The Evidence Of Canni bslism Found In kis-
liuabury's Body.

A Rochester On. ~ special says: In
continuing their examination OF Lieuten.
ant KIsingbury's body, Drs. Charles Buck.
lev, +. A. Vaudeville, and James Buckley
have bad recourse 10 the microscope In ex-
amIning the contents Of the intestines.
They have found here woody fibre, cellu-
lose. spiral flores OF air vessels OF plants,
shells and mineral substances, striped MUS
cular tissue, epidermis, red blood corpus
cleS. and oil globues.
1--WE believe" said the physicians, I" that
the epidermis and muscular tissue found
was that OF human being. the epider-
mis- contrasting exactly with eplderms
taken from the arm OF one OF Us and put
under the microscope. The tissue present.
ed the same characteristics as laid down In
plates OF eminent authors, and while we
cannot say positively that Lieutenant ks.
lingbury partook 81 hGman flesh, yet de-
auctions warranted TO be drawn from the
admissions OF the survivors of the eXpedi.
ton. the scarcity or entire absence OF fo)d
from the camp, and the large quantities OF
epi1 ermis and striped muscular tissue
found by us satisfy US that the story OF can
nibalism was truthful one. What we under
magnIiying glass on Friday last thought
was hair under the microscope seems more
like vegetable fibre. kislingbury's physt-
cal condition Just previous 10 his death was
such that perfect or even approximate di-
gestion was impossible"
The examination OF the body OF Lieuten-
ant Kislngbury in the chapel OF Mount
HOPE cemetery on Thursday last was
nearly completed when nr. Buckley broke
the silence and said: "Gentlemen, the
dissection Of that body was the work OF an
expert. There was no hacking with
knives. but 1t was the work OF n sharp
Scalpel in the hands OF a clever anatomlst.
Gentlemen. DR.. Paws work is before
you"
DR.. Vaudeville: - It was the work OF an
artist. Nearly every ligament and tendon
was utilized"
\ person present said "Dr. Pavy died
before Lieutenant Kislingbury and your
conclusions are therefore wrong"
On FRIDAY Drs. Buckley and Vaudeville
again expressed the opinion that Kisling-
bury's body was dssected by DR.. Payy,
and that be PAW died after kiSlingbury,
and that at the time Of the dissection OF
kisliugbury Payy was quite strong. y
search OF the record was made. and it was
found officially announced that Kislngbury

How the Irish are for Blaine.

There is a little joke told on Mr.. Snyder,
Of the Cedar Falls Gazette, which has
created considerable amusement among
Republicans as well as Democrats. Mr.. Sny-
der bad been reading in his Republican
exchanges that the Irish and Catholics
were all going for Blaine, and as he had
always been liberal in his abuse OF both
these classes OF citizens. he thought 1t
would be good stroke Of policy to take a
vote OF the Marshalltown Catholic excur-
sionists who were at Cedar Falls the first
Of last week, and thus have the proof posi-
tive that such was the case. The vote was
accordingly taken on the train as they left.
II stood IL for Cleveland, for Blaine.
The result was discOuraging to the mis-
sionary Of the Gazette, and that paper neg
lected TO publish 1t.
