A Frenchman, who loved twenty women
and was adored by all of them, . shot him.
self yesterday. The wonder is that, under
these circumstances, he wasn't an inmate
OF an insane asylum long ago. Even with
ice-cream at fifty cents plate, and bou-
quets and earimals at cost, mans life
with twenty sweethearts would be a per-
petual and expensive nightmare.

Seed Corn Famine.

The gener failure Of the corn crop
Of 1883 to ripen fully has created what
may we'll be called a famine in seed corn,
especially in the northern tier of States.
Professor Henry, of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural College, estimates that the farm
ers Of that State must purchase $50,
bushels O: seed.corn for next springs
planting. In New York, especially in
the eastern coulties, the farmers are
better of, but poor seed is a general
condition throughout the corn belt.
Some varieties are notably an excep.
ton to this rule, especially "Sibley's
Pride Of the North" which ripene.l in
New-Englaud, New York, and so on
through Michigan, Wis onsin and North
ern Iowa. Messrs. Hiram Sibley & Co. :
the Rochester and Chicago seeAsmen,
claim this to be the earliest aud eurest
to-ripen OF the Dent varieties. In some
sections it has excelled even the flint
c0rns OF the Canadian type. The good

from selected seed. have ripen we'll
The Waushakum,' yellow flint in Mas

corn will prompt the offering of infe-
rior stocks, which should be-
guarded against. Last year some
4 81, 900 bushels of corn were carried from
Nebraska and Kansas into the Missis
aipps Valley for seed, hut it proved q
failure. Seed-corn from southern sec

NEW TACO MA.
! The Northwestern Terminus of the
Nor, h t.rn Pacific Railroad

Inc Northwestern terminus OF the
Nor. hern Pacific Railroad
Tacoma, the terminus of the Northern
Pacific railroad, is far different in it's
surroundings and general features from
ton from eastern cousins. :as we'll as from
Calllornians and Oregonians. To most
people, the first view is one of disap-
pointment, followe d almost instantly by
the question, "Can this be the terminus
of the Northern Pacific%' But such the
president and board Of directors Of this
road have affirmed it to be, whether for
all time to come or only for the present,
is still mooted question.
At the head of this great inland sea,
Puget Sound, lies a safe harbor, with
anchorage for ships. Overhanging it is
deep bluff, $50 feet in height, upon
which Tacoma is built. The town is
reached by steeply-gra led roadway
leading from the waters edge. There
is just room enough along the shore for
wharves and tracks for cars. Manid-
rent coal bunkers, built at q cost of 25,-
600, extend far into the Sound and large
cav mil are also built on piles, and
skirt the town. But the business por.
ton of our terminus is mainly built
above. I: is laid out apparently on 9
grand scale, with broad streets we'll
graded. The houses rise tier above tier,
stretching far ack to the forest ofgiant
FRS that serve as q. background. Ten
years ago this was q vast wilderness. Now
it boasts of 1900 Inhabitants. These are
mainly emplo. ed in the railroad and
car shops, the saw mi Is and the coal
bunkers. Most of the buildings are
; wooden, and bear the appearance OF
they have. having tr,pled in the last
: three years. Some fine buildings have
been built recently, however, among
them large bank and y railroad hotel,
the latter at cost of $125. 900. A stone
church, the finest north OF San Francis
60. was fnishe, two months ago. It
was built by Charles Wright, one of the
Directors Of the Northern Pacific, who
is styled here the Father of Tacoma. It
is erected in memory of his wife and
daughter, lately deceased. The cost is
$40 900. 1t was made free will gift to
the Episcopal Church. The same gen.
tleman is now building girls school at
q cost Of $50, 00O. This is entirely at his
own expense. "A fine public school,
worth $2U,,O0 was opened recently.
There are also various private schools
and number of churches. However,
1t is still an embryo city. but fortune
points to promising future which even
the recent depression Of n. T. Il. 4.
stocks cannot annoy.
f Standing over all is the grand old SEN
tinel Mr. Tacoma, stern in his mantle of
eternal snow, magnificent feature in
the la1 dsrape. And far before our eyes
lies the blue waters of the Souns. Ia
com has many possibilities which time
certainly will realize. # Fl,
