Three Men Strung Up.

New ORLEANS, April 2S.-Six weeks
ago Mullican and Clark went to the house
of old man Rogers, in Ouachita Parish, and
were Hospitality treated. After supper they
murdered the old man and his wife for the
purpose of securing money they were known
to possess, and fled to Texas. "A reward Of
81, 900 was offered for their capture, which
was soon effected. The men were brought
back to Ouachita Parish and tried, and Sat
urday were sentenced to hang. Sunday
morning before daylight a large and
orderly mob surrounded the jail at Mon
roe and demanded the keys. Resist
ance was useless. the mob being prepared
to batter down the doors. The jailer sur
rendered the keys and the two murderers,
together with King Hill, also under sem
tence of death, were taken from the Jail
and hanged on tree in the street.

Royal IncOgnitO.

The Queen of Tahiti will shortly be
among us-traveling under the very
humble incognito of Mrs. Salmon. 1t
is not often that Industrious personaees
so closely veil their identity; though her
TahitiaR majesty has one or two notable
precedence to keep her in countenance.
Queen Anne, as we know, was Mrs.
Morley to her dearest friend and
Charles l., when Prince, used the alias
of Thomas Smith on his Spanish expe-
dition. But, generally speaking, the
incognito of royalty reminds one of the
answer a former Lord Seton is said to
have made to an invitation to dinner
Sin friendly. way "Well," he re-
piled, mot in too friendly way,
please" The King of the Greeks has
been known to travel under the daz-
zling pseudonym of Marquis of Sparta;
and Gar of Russia has dubbed him
self, for the nonce, "Comte du Nord,"
which is designation not altogether
savoring of humanity. Robert lie Fort,
too, was a proud name to take; still the
Duke of Charters had fair right to as
sumo it, the more so that he bore it so
calamity. His grandfather, after vacat-
ing the French throne, adopted the
modest incognito of Comte de Neuilly;
Louis XVIII, in exile, allowed himself
to be called Comte de Lille. More than
once the papers have announced that
the Empress Eugene has proceeded
hither to thither ATTENDED by the Com
tess de Pierrefonds, the fact, of course,
being that Confess de Pierrefonds is the
Gmperess' incognito, the title having
been also formally granted to the con-
sort by Napoleon III. Nor can the
designation of the Countess of Bal
moral" adopted by the Queen during
a trip to the continent, be considered
one entirely calculated to obscure to au-
gust voyager's Identity.

TRADE AND COMMERCE..
Business, as Usual at this Season of the
Year, Moving Along Quietly.

Business, as Usual at this Season of the
Year, Moving Along Quietly.
INDIANAPOLIS, June Is.
The more active trade of Monday and Tues
day was followed to-day by tameness, and, in all
departments, trade was light. No continued ac-
tivity from day to day is now looked for until
the fall trade sets in fairly. The weather in this
section of the country continues very favorable,
and crop reports are generally encouraging.
The South has been over-supplying this and
many other Northern cities with green stuff for
several weeks past, and it is evident that the
Southern people are giving more attention to
the raising of early vegetables every year, but
prices range so low it may be discouraging to
Southern producers. The egg market is rather
Offish, buyers holding off in expectation of lower
prices, and the receipts while by no means ex-
c~essive, are increasing. Butter, to use a com
mon phrase, continues as dead as a door nail,
particularly as regards ordinary country stock.
Cheese continues quiet and weak. Sugars are
decidedly stronger, while there is no imp ovel
ment in coffees. Our exports are increasing,
the movement of breadstuffs showing special
improvement. Last month wheat gained 70 per
cent. over the same month in 1883, though the
falling off for the year is somewhere near
30, 900, 900 bushels. The grain is only worth
$lO1 a bushel now for export. against 81. II a
year ago. Flour is worth 1888, a loss of Sc
cents a Daffel, ana Jne exports are increasing,
but corn shows no recovery from the depres-
sion. Another important item is the shipment
of refined sugar to Europe, and also to Aus
tralia.
GRAIN.
Both the wheat and corn markets locally seemed
to be in a stronger position than on Tuesday.
Dealers showed more interest in spot stuff, but
care but little about futures. The Board of
Trade Price Current says of wheat: Local
markets seem to be in a better position that yes
terday, and we notice a tirmer and more active
demand for spot No. 2. red. Sellers few and of
terings scarce. Futures dull and uninteresting.

main has been overtaxed. No specific rule can
be given to determine the size of the tile needed.
The rate of fall in the drain, the depth at which
the tile is laid, the character of the soil, and
especially, rapidity Of the rainfall at any given
time, greatly affect the question. In the case
of a remarkably heavy rainfall, almost any tile
will prove too smallto carry off the water.
The capacity of tile to carry water varies with
the square of their Misunderstanding no &C
count of the greater proportionate friction in
the smaller tile. Thus four-inch tile will carry
nearly twice as much as a three-inch; an eight
inch nearly twice as much as a
six-inch. Three lines Of three-inch
tile NAV be safely turned into a FIVE
inch main, if this receives no other water. It
rarely happens that it is advisable to use any
thing less than FIVE or siX-inch tile for main lines:
and seven or eight-inch are often much better.
The greater cost of the larger tile makes 1t de-
sirable to use as small sizes as will answer the
purpose, but it is much better to pay o larger
sum rather than have the work only partially
affective, or than to dig up and replace the hrst
laid tile by the larger ones.
Another common mistake is the use of the
same sized tile throughout a large line of drain
say for one hundred rods. If the tile at the
outlet are large enough, those at the upper half
are larger than need be. In cases in which
almost the sole work of a line of tile is to carry
the water from a pond nearly the same size Will
be needed throughout, but these are ex-
c%eptional cases.
Another very common mistake is in not secur-
ing a good outlet. No system of drainage can be
effective if there be no ready means Tor the
water to flow off at the outlet. Tile drains will
nothelp water to run up hill. A depth of three
feet is desirable for drains; but it is better to
have them much shallower at the outlet if this
be necessary to enable the water to flow off
readily. Some land is so extremely level that it
is difficult to get good outlets. If the impervious
sub-soil be underlaid with sand or gravel 1t
sometimes happens that a well sunk into this
will give a good outlet-or means of drain
ing ponds.
OF course there have been multitudes of mis-
takes made in doing the work; most commonly
from the failure to get the grade of the ditch
right, but often from careless laying of the tiles.
The closer together they can be put the better.
There need be no fear that the water will not
find its way in, but there is danger that earth
may be worked in if the ties are not closely laid.
