A Terrible Story.

LONDON, September 7.-The crew Of the
yacht Migonette, rescued after being many
days in open boats, captured turtle on the
fourth day after the sinking of the yacht, on
the 18th OF June. They were then seven days
without food, and five without water. They
discussed the question Of casting lots for which
should die that the others might live, but were
unable to agree. The next day they determin-
cd to kill the boy Parker. Capt Dudley opened
his jugular vein with a penknife and the boy
died instantly. The survivors, the captain and
two seamen, drank the boys blood and sus-
tained life by eating his flesh until rescued by
tho ship Montezuma on the 9Th Of July. Tho
reason assigned for desiding upon the boys
death is that lie suffered most from thirst and
was unmarried. When rescued, tho men
looked like skeletons. They will be charged
with murder.

A Chicago Ecatrteide.

CHICAGO, September 5.-William H. Downie
a member Of the board of trade, was found
dead in basement Of his house in La Sale
avenue, tonight, with bullet hole In his left
temple. He was alone in the house at the
time. From the fact that his face was powder.
burned and bis hair scorched, 1t was at first
supposed to be case Of suicide, but closer
examination Of the position and direction Of
the wound, and the fact that no weapon could
be found. led to the conclusion that it was
murder. He had brother, Charles ]. Downie,
with whom he had frequent alterations in re-
gard to an undivided estate loft them by their
mother, these troubles leading to their separa-
ton yesterday after an unusually stormy scene
and an attempt by Charles to brain his brother
with an Ak. This, with the fact that Charles
once shot at William, led to the suspicion that
it was a case Of fratricide. The police arrested
Charles on his way from the city to his subur.
ban home, and found on his person revolver
with one chamber empty.

PetersOn's Magazine.

Peterson's Magazine for October comes to
us with an increase Of pages, and more bril-
liant array than ever Of steel-plates, colored
fashions, colored patterns aud illustrated wood
engravings. The principal steel-plate, "Play-
ing at Being Grandpa and Grandma" is as
graphic as it is humorous-one Of the very best
things Of the kind we have ever seen. The
stories, continued and otherwise, are excep-
tionaly good: in this respect, 'Peterson' has
long been without rival. Some hints are
whispered, in this number, in advance, as to
what is 10 be done in 1856; and it is not too
early, it is added, to begin to get up clubs for
that year. The best way to see what is sintend-
ed, and to test the perits Of ''PetersoD," is to
send for specimen copy, Which will be sent,
gratis, if written for in good faith. Address

American and English Colonies.

1t is not generally known that there is an
American town in the realms of the Gar Of
Russia, yet SUCH is fact, it being near More
ton Bay, Kamtsehatka. The colony has been
formed, gradually, by immigrants attracted by
the establishment Of important numbering ope-
rations, including saw mills, by an American
company, and the town itself, according to the
Zacht, has SO far been practically ignored. It
is not down upon any known map, does not
appear in the cadastral register, nor on any
tax list. The consequence is that the inhabit-
ants thereof pay no kind OF tax, and, until re-
Gently at least, have remained Independent Of
local authorities. Another colony, OF English
origin, Of later establishment, but analogous
origin, exists near ArchaDgel, on the White
Sea, where are important saw mills managed
by capitalists of North Britain.

Conklins VIII Speak for Blaine.


WASHINGTON, September Sit is rumored
here that ex-senator Conkling has consented
to make six speeches for Blaine In the cam
paign. Tais lsportis received with great graf
ifieation by Republicans. 1t Is regarded by
others as rather singular in view Of Mr.. Conk-
ling's utterances at the time of Baine's nomi-
nation. While it las never been known that
he would not support or vote for the Republi-
can candidate, or that he had positively refus-
ID to openly declare for him, 1t was very gene.
rally believed tlrat he entertained a certain
lukewarmness toward Mr.. Blaine's candidacy.
Mr.. Conkling's friends here assert that he ls al
good Republican as he ever was, and has
the cause Of the party as much at heart as he
ever has had, and they say he has been greatly
absorbed in his numerous law suits and has
not given any attention to politics. His friends
in New York urge him to become candidate
for the senate term which will be vacant
March g. 1885, and it is thought that he will
consent. II he does, few ringing speeches
for Blaine in this campaign will greatly
strengthen his chances in the contest for ssna.

The Koh-i-N0or VanquisIled.

Avery extraordinary diamond Of no less than
457 carats has been shipped from South Africa
and sold by London firm to a syndicate Of
diamond merchants. The color equals, if not
excels that Of the finest India diamonds, and
in the opinion Of competent judges it will cut
to a perfect and lustrous brilliant. In drop
shape it will weigh, as nearly as can be esti-
mated, about 22O carats, Or in lozenge shape,
briolette, about 300 carats. The brilliant will,
therefore, exceed in weight all the historic
diamonds. The Koh-i-noor weighs 100 earata,
the Regent Of France 1856 carats, and the Orioff,
which was cut for eight, 1876 carats. In size,
color, purity, and quality, it is expected to
prove to be the most marvellous stone ever
known.

The Wheat Outlook,

A Chicago dispatch to the st. Paul Globe
says:
The results Of threshing in the United King
dom, have, in many instances, proved disap-
pointing, as although the yield is reported as
better than the average, it does not come up to
expectations. In France the yield is scarcely
up to the average, and that country il expect
ed to be buyer Of from 6O,00O,000 to 7O,OOO,-
600 bushels Of grain. In Austro-H Hungary,
where the reports have been more discourag-
ing than from any other European country,
the yield has turned out better than was ex-
pected. The surplus available for export is
estimated at about II, 600 bushels. Russia
will also have a surplus, but the harvest there
is very uneven and in some districts wheat was
failure, but in the best cultivated and best
producing areas good haryests have been real
lied. In Germany wheat and rye are fair
yield. The latest estimates place the amount
Of India wheat available for export at As, OOO,-
900 bushels, or about 10000 600 bushels more
than last year. Taken as whole, the in
dications are that Europe will need to import
full average amount OF wheat and -four,

Joaq1tim Miller.

Cincinnatus Fl. Miller, POLITICALLY known
as Yawkeen, now resides in the suburbs of
Washington. He does this in order to be
constantly reminded of his dearly beloved
Sierras. He wears slouched sombrero when
he visits the city, and strangers never fail to
ask who he is. His cabin is one story and
half in height, contains four rooms and is
composed of hewn logs chinked up with
plaster. The roof is slanting and nicely
shingled. The door is kept fastened with a
common bar, though the latch-string hangs
out. Rough logs compose the walls; there is
no carpet nor mat on the floor; the small,
square windows are shaded by white muslin
curtains; plain, long, low pine table, lit
tered with old letters and manuscripts, stands
in the middle of the apartment, and high,
broad chimney-place emits from its log fire
most grateful warmth and rudy glow
that lazily dances over the mammoth hearth
stone. Over in the further corner of the
room is a bedstead of Embarked posts.
straight, stanch and heavy, with delegate.
gray moses and lliputian lichens. The
poet uses bear-skins and buffalo robes for
bed-clothing. When visited the other dav
the poet pointed to the moss on the logs of
his cabin and said:l ssYou see Gods auto
graph here" 1t will be seen that Major
Miller has taken every precaution to have
his eccentricities noted. In this respect he
is now several lengths ahead of Walt Whit
man.
