Some Facts Regarding the Manufacturing
and Agricultural Productions of the Uni
ted States.
WAsHINGToS, Sept. Professor ]. r.
Dodge, statistician of the Agricultural De-
partment, has issued a small book upon the
industrial economy of the United States,
which presents some OF the striking results
of his investigations of the statistics of man
ufacturing and agricultural productions OF
the country for twenty years. Within tnat
period, owing to labor-saving machinery, ag
rieulture has more than doubled it's produc-
tion, with a smaller proportion of farm labor,
and now threatens glut in farm products,
unless this proportion shall be further re-
duced. The question of an outlet to foreign
markets is discussed, and the fact is shown
that the surplus OF TODD products merely
pays for imported food and beverages and
that the trade can not be extended without a
ruinous reduction in prices. In the distri-
button of labor in occupations, in this and
other countries, as shown, with
reference to comparative thrift aud
industry, it is found invariably
that inequality OF the distribution of indus
tries retards developments; that exclusively
agricultural nations are always poor. The
phenomenal progress of the Central West"
is presented in deductions from statistics
showing that halt the cultivated area OF the
United States lies in one fourth It's territory.
producing more than three-fOurths of some
Of the principal crops.
The fact is shown that the Ohio Valley is
the most fully occupied body of land. Ohio
having "a per cent. Of her surface in farms;
Indiana, IS 9; Illinois, IS 4: Kentucky, 81,
and no other State as much. 1t is shown
that nearly three-tenths of the manufactures
of the United States are produced within
Central West in less than three-tenths of
the area of the country within half CEN
tury from its settlement.

A Young Man Realizes That There is Many
a Slip Between the Cup and the Lip.
MUNc1E, Ind, Aug. ga little episode
took place near Eaton, few miles north OF
this place, last Sunday, which has much the
ring of romance and sensation. Joseph
Thompson, citizen of that vicinity, has for
a year past been courting young lady, Miss
Anne Pore, who finally accepted his suit,
and all arrangements we're made to solemn
iZe the vow on Sunday afternoon which
should join them as husband aud wife
Thompson procured the license, and on San
day, accompanied by the necessary clergy
man, proceeded to a certain school
house, where the service was to be
publicly performed. The young lady was
present but cold as an iceberg TO him who
had come to claim her as his own. She was
closely seated in buggy with another who
had been her admirer in other days,
and who now seemed willing to renew the
old affection. With him she seemed in the
highest state of enjoyment, and gave no
heed whatever to Thompsons entreaties,
though he pleaded with great fervor that
she should fulfill her engagement with him.
1t was useless, her heart was like adamant,
She even laughed in his face for presuming to
be so foolish as to think sne ever had any
idea of marrying him. After following her
up and down the road for an hour or two
and repeatedly pleading, bat always in vain,
he finally departed, leaving her in the care
of his rival. The scene was one OF peculiar
interest to the hundred or more people who
came 10 witness the marriage. Much SYM
patby is expressed for Thompson. while the
young lady and her accomplice in the be-
trayal are severely denounced. Thompson
destroyed his license, but it is reported that
yesterday he went in pursuit of the young
lady. who bad gone north in company with
his rival. He was in great frenzy, and his
friends are solicitous lest he should infict

For fullest information as to that you

By the way, the Indiana Democracy should
import Knott to speak aud ask him to make

what supe induced Blaine's sunstroke.
Knott received what purported to be

the Little Rock bond transactions. Knott
suspicioned that the fine hand of Blaine
might have wrought in the construction of

circle of friends Knott insisted that the

with the stroke which kept Blaine from ap-
pearing before the committee, and further
more that he had no physical alIment from

tired from political life. Blaine was within
few days well enough to travel, and taking
French leave of the committee. betook him

against further action by the committee in

to adduce the evidence OF Blaine's psrentage

mained away, out of range OF Knott's com
mittee to the end of the session."

Steamboat Company, plying between Boston,
Downer Landing and bingham. was sunk in

PROV of the tug forcing its way clear through
the deck and plankiDg into the engine room,
scattering the lighted Goals in every direc-

There We're i01 passengers on board. and for
moment there was great excitement. In
an instant Captain Ingraham saw his vessel
must sink. He blew the distress signal on
his steam whistle. This called five tugs
and the steamer William Harrison from
the adjacent wharves to the assistance of the
disabled steamer, and so excellent was the
discipline of the crew of the Standish and
the ability of the aiding boats, that every
passenger, in the language OF deckhand
was taken from the sinking steamer without
even getting their feet wet. The Standish
sank within six minutes after she was
struck. The Standish was rebuilt in 1877.
