In short,more than two-thirds of
the canal are now underway, with
formal engagement on the part
of the contractors to have their
sections finished at an epoch that
shall not exceed the end of 1887.
The execution of the canal, then,
is a problem that is now solved.
The parties who have contracted
to perform their work cannot

NEAT JOB.
ISan Francisco Post.

A man entered the bank about
1870 o'clock yesterday afternoon
aud asked for a bill of exchange
for s65 so, depositing on the eoRn-
ter at the same time the necessary
silver coin. Receiving the check
be had asked for, the person de-
parted quickly. There was IN the
bank at the time John Z. Auzerais,
the cashier, aud L Mclaughlin,
the manager. A very short time
after the hurried departure of the
strange man the cashier discovered
the loss of a tray containing .slO,-
900 in $50 gold pieces. The alarm
was at once given, and the San
Jose police commenced a search.
The supposition was that four men
are concerned in the robbery, and
that one slipped inside of the bank
door from the stairway adjoining
while the others attracted the at
tention of the bank officers. The
bank offers q reward Of $1,000.
The draft was made out to the or
der of II. +. Anderson, of New
York. The young man who called
for the draft was about thirty
years old, neatly dressed in a dark
summer suit and wearing light
moustache. Soon after his depart
ure one of the coin trays was no.
ticed to be disarranged, and being
lifted, was found too amazingly
light for the amount of gold which
it was supposed to represent.
What appeared to be stacks of s20
pieces were,in reality, gilded wood.
The scheme Of the bank robbery
came over Manager Mclaughlin

The mare made the running from

not fast. Murphy rode Freeland
under an easy pull two lengths
behind he mare. He made no ef-
fort to shorten the space between
them as they fitted through the
first half mile. Then Mclaughlin
glanced back. The sight of Free
land moving with great power un.
der pull was not reassuring, and
Mclaughlin began to hurry the
mare. The first half mile was run
in "a 3 4 seconds. The next quar-.
ter mile along the backstretch was
a spurt of breathless speed. 1t
was run in 244 seconds. Murphy

Laughlin kept the mare close TO
the inner rail as they entered the
homestretch and Murphy had to
take Freeland to the outside. The
mare sprang forward for the final
struggle with renewed spirit and
speed, and though Murphy now
began to ride Freeland with vigor,
he could not get nearer until the
last hundred yards was reached.

Two Singular LunatIgs.

The Morristown Jerseymap tells
of lupatic at the Morris Plains
Asylum who was mute for five
years. Even the physicians
thought he had lost the power of
speech. One day two of his ting
ers were mangled in a washing
machine. To the astonishment of
everybody who heard him he ex.
claimed: "By the great and jump.
ing Moses, devil is better than
an inventor" That was three
years ago, and he has not spoken
since. Another patient, a boy in
the same institution, Is lightning
calculator. The most intricate
problems are solved by him in
fractions of a minute. The boy be.
lieves that his head is filed with
little blocks with figures upon
them, and they instantly fall into
different positions aud work out
the problems. He thinks his
brain, in fact, Is a multiplication
table. His insanity seems pardon
able, for only few sane men can
compete with him as a mathema-
tician. Every day he soaks his
head in water to prevent the
blocks from rafting, and OCCASION
ally he begs for oil to put into his
ears, so that the imaginary squares
will slip upon each other more
easily.

Cur Nest Imnortant crop.

The Minneapolis Tribune says !:
The section OF the United States
known as the West is pre-emi-
nently the corn region ofthe world.
Nowhere else save in the Danu-
bian principalities and the south
of Russia can corn be raised as it
can be raised in Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska. Nowhere except in tho
United States is corn produced
in quantities more than sufficient
to supply the home demand, and
there is no market in the world
where American corn is not a wei.
come importation. A writer it the
New York Sun declares that this
crop is the most important as well
as the largest which the United
Suites produces, and gives in the
same connection: "Aceording to
the census of 1880 the corn crop
is nearly four times that of the
wheat crop and nearly twice as
much as the crop of wheat, barley
oats,rye and buckwheat combined.
The total production of corn for
the entire United States was (crop
year 1879 ,7J4,S61,535 bushels /;
wheat, 459, ,479, sos bushels, and the
total production of wheat, oats,
barley, rye and buckwheat was on.
ly 6i3, 100,921 bughels. The States
which stand at the head as corn
producing States are Illinois, $780,
792,4Sl bushels; Iowa, 275,024, ,2i7
bushels Indiana, ll5, ,4S2 800 bush.
els; Ohio, 1ll,S77, 1924; and Kan
sas, 105,729,225 bushels. Ken
tucky comes next with 72,009, ,O000
bushels, and Nebraska follows,
with 65,O00,000 bushels. 1t will be
observed that the four States, Hi.
nois, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana
produced more than one-half of
the entire crop.
That the corn crop Of the pres
ont year will be one of the largest
ever gathered, seems now very
well assured, aud it is likely to
prove animportant element in the
restoration of a satisfactory con.
dition Of business affairs in the
West. Some limitation of the
wheat crop need not prevent this
result, aud of course will not, be
cause this latter crop is going &c
be fairly good even after all of its
drawbacks have done their worst
| We look for the corn crop o
1885 to have a large influence upol
Western business, and for that In
iluenee TO be favorable in the ex
treme.
