vessel in our wretched navy, and the
contrast between her ability and our
impotence is a daily shame to every cit

Sweet Corn Better Than SORGHUM.

I do not think sorghum for fodder i
near equal to the sweet varieties of COIL
of the smaller and medium size like the
Minnesota. I have raised these crop:
near each other in the same kind of soil
manfred and cultivated alike. The
yield in fodder of both was about the
same in weight. The stalks of sorghum
are tougher thanthose of corn and when
cut up and placed in different racks
COWS would not touch the sorghum sc
long as any corn was left; nor even Their
unless pretty hungry; if fed to then
alone they would eat only the uppe,
part of the stalks. Cows allowed tc
get excessively hungry and having
nothing else to eat would probably
consume the entire stalk:
but T do not keep my COWS in that way.
Sorghum stalks have probably create,
proportion of saccharine matter thar
that of sweet corn, and are therefore
preferable to grind for making molasses;
syrup and sugar but as they are tough.
er they are not so palatable for feeding
stock, being harder to masticate, and,
1 presume, to digest. Cut up and
steamed, or packed in silo, they might
be as greedily eaten. Sorghum does
best in light soil, and will endure 8
drouth rather better than corn. In con.
sequence of this, I would advise Mr.
Higbie and other farmers to cultivate a
little of it every season. The best vari.
ETY. have tried is the sort called Amber
cane. In my latitude, 80 degrees,
planted the last of April, it heads out
early in July, and is then cut for fodder.
Afterward there is second growth
from it, but this is not so tall and album.

Order Against Dynamiters.

The following circular has been issued in
Washington:
Department of Justice, Washington, March
IL, 1884 To District Attorneys and Marshals
of the United States: By direction of the pres
ident have to inform you that it is reported
certain persons are aiding in the prosecution
of various heinous crimes by shipping to for
eign parts explosives dangerous in the highest
degree to life and property: No proof has
been adduced that this rumor is founded upon
fact, and the president cannot believe it truth.
Tho honor of this nation, however, requires
that it should not be open to the imputation,
unfounded though it be, of the slightest ap-
pearance of tolerating such crimes, whether to
be committed against our people or those of
other countries Your attention is therefore
called to sections 1858, 1854, 5355, 427S and
1919, Revised Statutes of the United States,
which regulate the shipment of explosives and
the punishment of those who infringe on their
provisions, and you are instructed to be dill
gent in your efforts to prevent the offences
described; Ind to detect and prosecute those
who have or may commit them. Very respect
fully. BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER,
ATTORNEY General

believed will amount to $3.50, 600 Help was
telegraphed for, and sent by the fire depart
ments of Kalamazoo and Muskegon and Hol-
land Among the business places burned were
the Sherman house, the First
National bank, and three newspaper offices,
viz: The Journal, Gazette and Democrat.
The principal building was known as the
Union block, containing five stores, which cost
500, GOO, and now estimated as worth $4O,O
Three of the stores were owned by the Hall es-
tate Of Allegan; half insured. J. K. Wagner
and the Fleming estate of kalamazoo owned
the other two; Wagner's insurance $4,000.
The Sherman house bio ok was owned by D. H.

A Real TRAGEDY in a Texan Theatre.

Two men named Thompson and Fisher, who
had been drinking together, entered the San
Antonio theatre in each others company They
met man named Foster in the dress circle,
and some words were exchanged bringing about
a melee, during which Thompson and Fisher
were killed and Foster wounded. The circle
was quickly cleared the occupants jumping in

promptly arrested. The remains of the two
victims were takenin charge by hostof friends,
and obsequies have been ordered on the grand

where the affray occurred was the scene last

One may form some idea of the extent
of the possessions belonging to the
Russian emperor, as property imme-
diately attached to the crown when we
hear that the Altai estates alone cover
an area of 100000 desjatins, or over
10000 square miles, being about three
times the size of England and Wales.
The Netchinsk estates, in eastern Siberia
are estimated at about Is ZOO, 900 desjat-
ms. In the Altai estates are situated the
gold and silver mines of Barnaul, Paulov,
Smijoy, Lol<tjepp, the copper foundry
at the Sasoum, and the great iron works
at Gavrilov, in the Salagirov district.
The receipts from these enormous estates
are in aridiculorsly pitiful ratio to their
extent. In the year 1882 they amounted
to 100000 roubles, or little more than
EOS 900 while for 1883 the revenue was
estimated at less than half this sum, or
about 400, 900 roubles. The rents, etc. :,
gave surplus over expense Of admins
tration of about million and half Of
roubles. On the other hand, its work
ing of the mines showed deficit of over
a million; hence the result just indicated.
A partial explanation of this very unsat-
isfactory state of things is to he found in
the situation of the mines, which are
generally in places quite destitute Of
wood, while the smelling works were
naturally situated in districts where
wood abounds, sometimes as much as 600
or 700 kilometres distant from the mines.
The cost of transport Of raw materials
became considerable in this way. By
degrees all the wood available in the
neighborhood of the smelling works be-
came used up, and it was necessary to
bring wood from distances of even over a
hundred kilometres. Formerly worked
by convicts, who were partly helped by
immigrants whose sons were exempted
from military service on the condition of
working the mines. But since the aboli-
ton of serfdom this system has been quite
altered, and there is now great deal of
free labor on the ordinary conditions

Gen. Grant in BAD Condition.

A republican representative who has just re-
turned from Fortress Monroe, said he was sur,
prised to see how much Gen. Grant has changed
during his recent illness From newspaper re-
ports he had supposed that Grant was getting
well, but he found the old commander fallen
away, his face twisted out of shape, with inhanl-
matory rheumatism tending toward the upper
portion of his limbs and bearing every appear
ance of man whose time on earth is limited tc
few months or a few years, at least. He looks
very badly and like a man who has outlived
both legs and stomach. He doubts very much
if Grant ever gets we'll. This was discourag
ing view, he said, but the others who called on
Grant agreed with it.

A Good Record for Mormons.

The criminal census of 1881 showed fifty lone
prisoners in the Utah penitentiary. Mormons
constitute 50 per cent. of the population, and
hence should have furnished forty-two of these
prisoners; but instead they furnished only five,
and two Of these were in for polygamy. The
Salt Lake county jail contained six convicts,
and by the same proportion five Of these should
have been Mormons; but instead nota Mormon
was there and only three had been there in five
years. The Salt Lake city prison, at the same
time, contained twenty-nino convicts. Three
fourtlls of the city population were Mormons,
and hence we should expect twenty-five of
these prisoners to come from them but instead
not Mormon was among them The Gentle
fourth of the city had furnished the prison
with every one of it's criminals.
