The importation of eggs from Ger
many and France, of onions from Ber-
muda; of cabbages from Holland, into
such a vast and fertile country as the
United States, is one of the curious enor-
MATES of our civilized life. But these
are not all the articles imported, which
can be raised in the greatest abundance
at home with comparatively little labor.
In regard to imported cabbages a New
York paper says, the origin of importa-
ton was a scarcity of vegetables about
three years ago, and an effort was made
to bring over all kinds of European gar
den stuff, but cabbage vas the only
thing that proved a success. The ship
ments are made every fourteen days, and
range from 10000 to $50 900 head in
each. The importation this season of
red cabbage for picking has not been so
large, the aggregate being about 100 900.
These cabbages are much smaller than
the white cabbage, but are equally COM
pact. They are brought from Holland,
and shipments are made every ten days.
The demand being more limited, the
importation has been restricted to pre-
vent a glut in the market.

Rive Murderers nangea in Arizona.

On the night of Dec. s, 1888, six mounted and
weI-armed men raided the town of Bisbee,
Ariz, and killed J.. c.. Tappines, ]. H. Molly
and u. A. Smith and ounde Mrs. Roberts.
They then robbed Castenada's store of 81 200
and fed in the direction of Sonora, hoping to
get over the border. Five of them, o. W. Sam
pie, James Howard, Dan Dowd, William De-
lane and Dan Kelly were hanged at Tombstone,
Arizona on Friday, all declared their innocence.
Heath, who was lynched there Feb 22d, was al
so innocent They babe good by to their friends,
and expressed faith in the Christian religion.
The .murderers were all dropped off together,
and, excepting Dowd, dice without a struggle.

ton. The criminals did not show the slightest
fear at the near approach of death. After be-

some familiar faces in the crowd, and called
out their names, cheerfully bidding them good

The rulings of the courts have been SC
uniformly against the legality of all
gambling contracts-dealings where no
delivery of the goods bought or sold Is
ever made or expected to be made
that there is no novelty in the announce
ment that the Court of Appeals of Mis-
souri, has sustained such a decision made
by a lower court. Judge Thompson, in
delivering the opinion of the court, said
the evidence fully warranted the find
ing that the transactions between the
plaintiff and the defendant were not in
tended in their conception to be bona
fde sales and purchases. but were in
tended to be mere bets or wagers upon
the future state of the market; and if
this were so they were such contracts
as the law condemns and as courts Of
justice will not enforce.

Farmers in Iowa and other states are
looking about for good seed corn. The
seed gathered after the severe freezing
of the middle Of last November, has
been subjected to the usual tests has
failed to grow in a way to indicate it
safe to plant in the most favorable
spring. On the other hand all the spec
linens gathered prior to this date
ever when in the first stages of glazing
and carefully dried have terminated
in that perfect vigorous way that indi-
Gates safe seed for the most unfavorable
seasons. There are few things more
disheartening than the failure of seeds
and the greatest cause will doubtless be
exercised in planting this year. Corn
especially, will be closely scrutinized
and tested, and more attention than
usual should be bestowed upon seed

A real estate dealer in Fitchburg,
Mass, advertises in the Springfield
Republican as follows: "Why go West
to the land of floods, h~ail-storms, biz
yards, cyclones and other discomforts
when you can buy farms in good old
Massachusetts, that will produce as much
corn, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes and hay
per acre as any land there. We can
sell youa farm for what it will cost you
to construct your buildings, with all
The advantages, social, religious, educa-
Fional, and the best market in the world
Tor all that can be produced from the
tarm." The Yankee real estate
lealer promises too much. The fact
and it is a fact, that farms in New Eng
land are offered and sold for less than
ihe cost of buildings also proves too
much. If the product of these farms
and other alleged advantages were as
represented, shrewd New Engl anders,
who are as canny and shrewd as any in
the world, would not sell their farms
Tor less than the cost of buildings.
Statements to the contrary are an insult
otheir intelligence, for they know tina
more money is to be made by raising
produce OF rich westesn lands to supply
the eastern market than by raising and
selling at home, while educational and
other desirable things are quite as
readily obtained at the west as at the
east.

Hon. Emory A. Storrs, one of the first
lawyers of Chicago, finds serious fauP
with the pleuro-pneumonia bill, o be-

pass because cit is not proper, or right,
or reasonable, or just to place the NOR
nous cattle interests of this country
under the absolute control of a few
horse dealers, veterinary politicians,
and give them power to prevent the
shipment of cattle to market every time

about the size of it, not only here but
in foreign countries where such enact

A MAINE MYSTERY
Probable Double Murder at BiddefOrd-A
Doctors Strange Story

BIDDEFoRD, Me-, Dec. 31.-Several pools of
blood on the snow on Sunday morning led to the
belief that a murder had been committed the
previous night In this connection DR.. CASTOR
says he was called on Saturday night by three
men who wanted him to go with them. They
refused to give their names. When they reached
Franklin street they bandaged his eyes After
traversing several streets they entered house.
The Doctor was led to uncarpeted bedroom,
where he was locked in, the men leaving him.
Here he found a young woman with a deep cash
extending from the right ear down the throat.
She was extremely weak from the loss of blood.
She said doctor, for Gods sake save my life, y
He feared she would die while he was there and
does not think she could have lived five minutes
longer without care. After bandaging the
wounds, the doctor knocked on the door, which
was opened He was Immediately taken to
another room, where he found man with a cut
from his nostril to his mouth After treating
this patient he was taken back to Franklin
street blndfolded, where the men left him They
were out of sight before he could unbandage his
ewes.
