good a right? He asked for Justice, not mer-
cy. He was g%ratitied that he was on trial
before Englishmen. There was no clap-trap
as in Ireland. The prosecution, hesaid, failed

The Situation in Dakota.

The condition of the wheat crop in Dakota
has not changed since the last report. From
the latest reports it is learned that the damage
by the storms in the vicinity of Tower City will
reach 10000 acres or q total of 100000 bushels.
This will not effect the general crop and u but
as a drop in the bucket. A special from st.
Vincent says the farmers of that section of tho
Red River valley arc now prepared to harvest
their hay, which isa very fine crop. Wheat
and oats are fine. Crops are far in advance of
anything that has been seen for years, but will
not be ready to cut for three weeks yet. Reports
of crops from Rolette and Cavileer counties in
Dakota are very ilattering. A light frost visited
that locality Monday night and the night before,
but as yet has done no material injury, though
come cases its effects were quite visible, but
it was not SO severe as to injure wheat or
oats.
Ct. S. Barnes, president of the Northern
Pacific Elevator company, in an interview,
takes a rather conservative view of the situa-
ton, and While sanSuinc as to the average yield,
thinks that farmers should be prepared to ex-
poet low prices for their product. He draws
his differences from the fact that advices from
the wheat fields, not only Of the Northwest, but
of the countrya at large, place the average pros
han the most sanguine have ss imag hssi's" If
any accident should happen to the fast ripen-
ing grain, an accident that would have moro
than o local influence on the situation.
there might be reason to expect fair
prices; but Mr.. Barnes does not
look for aught else than a generous yield, and
consequently bases his opinion on what is al
ready in sight. In the vicinity of Fargo, he
says the crop will be fair, but out toward Bis
marck, where last year there was a great def
cheney. this year there will be a big crop.
There is considerable trust in the wheat
along the Winona u st. petor road in Southern
Dakota, and smut is doing Il great deal of dam

Dio Lewis reaches the conclusion
that consumption is found in every eli
mate. Inhabitants Of the frozen region,
and those who live under the equator,
die of consumption. AS to the United
States, there is no doubt that New
England has the largest ratio of NOR
tality from consumption. But the diff
ference is slight, and IS probably &C.
counted for by her immense cotton,
woolen, and other great factories, and
her very close houses, and by the hered-
itary tendency in families.

He was born in Prussian Silesia in 1906, and
the author of numerous dramas, novels, and
books of travel.
Tho British ambassador to France has urged
Minister Ferry to withdraw the bill relating to
penal colonies. This action is based upon tho
determined hostility Of Australia, which is de-
cldedly opposed to being q continued resortfor
escaped French criminals.
Burne-Jones has just completed in Rome a
design for the decoration of the apse in tho
American Protestant church there. The cen-
ter picture will represent Christ seated and
holding the world nhis left hand. Archangcls
are pictured around the Saviour, and an angelic

The wholesale destruction of forests
along the Ohio Valley, within the past
ten years, may have had something to
do with the alarming drought that is
said to prevail within a radius of $50

are signs of an almost complete failure
in the crops of the Kentucky tobacco
fields; and the corn of southern Ohio.

The Boston Herald, in addition to
many interviews on the business and
commercial outlook, publishes Especial
dispatches" from Mr.. H. Vanderbilt
and Mr. Jay Gould, on the financial and
business situation of the country.
These gentlemen are presumed to he as
much interested as any others in the
country, from their connection with
railroad enterprises. They profess to
have many optomistic views Of things,
and can see nothing that is not of the
color of the rose. Mr.. Vanderbilt be-
lieves that "by November everybody
will be satisfied that the panic we have
had has been good thing for the coun-
try and q sufficient reason why people
and corporations should live within
their means" MI. Gould is not so con-
else i'll the expression of his opinions,
but he says practically the same thing.
His advices lead him to tho conclusion
that in both quantity and quality the
country will be blessed with u phenom-
email harvest, while the crop prospects in
Europe are far from favorable. He
says the present crop has been raised on
a lower basis than was ever before
known, as labor and all the necessaries
of life have been at bottom prices. AS
a result he believes that farmers can
sell their products cheaper than before
and still make a profit. Arguing from
these conditions, he reaches the conclu-
sion that banks, general business and
railways will find themselves in better
shape this fall than for many years. 1t
is quite evident that Messrs. Wander
bilt and Gould are no longer on the bear
side of the market, but there area
good many thousand m in the
west who will hesitate to believe that
sixty or seventy cent wheat is the per.
fection of human prosperity.

to the great meeting of Irish Republicans in

Physicians often speak Of the very
large number Of persons who imagine
they have some form of heart disease,
and Dr.. Gibbons, q distinguished medi-
cal writer says: Diseases of the heart,
when known to the patient, are very
apt to create anxiety md dependency.
The same effect follows a belief that such
disease exists, even when there is no
disease. In the great majority of per-
o II who suffer from this apprehension,
there is no zeal disease-nothing but a
functional disturbance OF palpitation
due to disorder of the stomach"

Speaking of people who raise an
alarm of cholera over common summer
complaints, the New York Sun says:
"When epidemic cholera visits a coun-

known that many people have been sub
jected to cholera from fright alone-or
rather, fright was the predisposing
cause The effects of anxiety and ter
ror can scarcely be exaggerated. Even
in times of real danger it will be we'll
to remember the moral conveyed in the
old couplet:

The brave man dies at once"
