II was hasty traveller,
A capet bug he bore;
His face was closely shayen,
And blue spoctaclos he wore.
He tarricd at the window
Where they railway tickets sell,
But the place to which he'd journey
To the clerk he would not tell.
Then TO him the clorl, said, bluntly,
"Sir, you must not larry here
II you wish to buy no ticket"
Said the other, "Bank cashier
Then the clerk replied, "Six dollars !"
And without the least delay
Gave the customer ticket
Der the line to Canada.

THE LOCUSTS.

AS predicted by Prof Riley, the entimolo-
gist of the Agricultural Department, the
neutrality-suspicious. have made their
appearance in several parts of the Union.
In several of the Western States they are
very numerous, and quite destructive to
vegetation, especially shrubbery and fruit
trees. In portions of North Carolina they
have also appeared and in the counties of
Wilkes, Surrey and Davie they are in large
quantities and doing much damage. The
ravages OF the insect in Pennsylvania are
described by the York Dispatch:
The seventeen year locusts will in all
probability prove more destructive than
most people have imagined. They are al
ready at work boring into the tWigs of
young fruit trees in many of the orchards,
and the limbs of the trees they have stung
are drying up and dying, and the fruit
thereon is ruined. They are particularly
severe on young orchards. gentleman
informed us that young peach orchard of
400 trees which this year would have born
its first crop, is he fears ruined. The young
fruit is showing up, and will amount to
nothing when stung by the locusts. These
insects are particularly bad on peach and
ounce trees, also on young chestnuts and
the chincapin tree. In some places the
trees already show the signs OF their work,
and in a few weeks the leaves will turn
brown, and the first heavy wind will break
off the dead branches, which will fall to the
ground, and from these will come the crop
of locust for 1902.
We have not heard of their appearance in
any portion of this State as yet.

COTTON CULTURE IN BRAZIL.

Prof. John G. Brauner, of the Indiana
University, who during the winter of
1884 was sent to Brazil to collect certain
enthological information, and incidentally
to study the condition and extent of cotton
culture in that country, has submitted his
report upon cotton culture to the United
States commissioner Of agriculture. He says
that cotton in Brazil grows on its native soil,
and it is to be presumed under climatic and
other conditions best adapted to its highest
development. But though Brazil began
to export cotton more than a hundred years
before the United States, her annual product
to-day is only about one-eigteenth as much
as our own. TO be sure the population is
only one-fifth as large as ours, but then
almost the whole population lives in the
cotton growing region, while only a small
part of our people live in the cotton belt.
Under normal conditions Brazil can scarce
ly become competitor of the United
States in cotton production, but the disap-
pearance of slavery and consequent adop-
tion of some system of small farming will,
in the near future, materially increase the
present production. Slavery has fostered a
remarkable conservatism in agriculture,
which must, with the aid of educated plant
ers, soon disappear. Cotton factories are
already rapidly springing up and prosper

the assault and seized her arm. Kuhn then
ran into an office and asked that he be pro-
tected from the men, whom, he said, had
deliberately formed plot to assassinate

The reports of suffering in Virginia ap-
pear to be exaggerated. A special from
Richmond says that in response to inquiries
made by telegraph, at all important points
in Southwest Virginia, the reports are that
while the grain crop is very close, no suf-
fering prevails. A dispatch received there
on Wednesday from one of the best inform
ed gentlemen of Wytheville says: 'To.day

Patrick county. There is nothing bordering
on famine in that section. He saw relia-

ported the crops close, but no suffering

THE WHEAT CROP.

The printed report of the United States
Agricultural Department, giving the con-
dition of the various crops as shown by the
June returns, is just out and contains few
points concerning wheat not given in the
synopsis furnished the press and published
in these columns last week. 1t is stated
that the general average condition of 62 for
winter wheat is the worst official showing
since 1868. In 1881 it was "A and Is in 1883,
while in the great crop years of 1880 and
1882 it was 80 in June. From close study
of the returns it is certain that a large por-
ton of the reduction in area is discounted
in the returns of the condition; yet in a
few States it is evident that further allow
ance must be made for the unanticipated
destruction of area by replanting. Future
conditions or misconceptions of present ap-
pearances, or both together, are not likely
to change the total wheat crop of the coun-
try more than 100000 bushels above or
below the estimate given of 800, 900, 900 BUSH
els. Still, disasters prior to the harvest or
wet weather afterwards might possibly
make greater reduction.

MADE THEIR FINAL EXIT.

Joe Barbour and Horace Terrell were
hanged last Thursday morning at 9'clock,
in the Jail yard at Charlottesville, Va, the
former for the murder of Randall Jackson,
and the latter for the murder of a girl NAM
ed Mary Foster. The criminals and their
victims were all colored. The execution
was private, tWenty-four citizens, the Off
GERS of the law and Company D, Third Reg
iment, being present. Joe Barbour con-
that Randall Jackson was killed we were
going down the street, having started home.
I tried to get Bob Lewis to 60 back up town
and get something-think it was whisky.
Randall Jackson caught Bob Lewis by the
arm and told him to come and 60 back up
street. I asked Jackson what he had to
do with it. / don't know what he said. l
struck him with knife and ran off," Bar
bour said he believed God had forgiven him
and he was ready to die. Horace Terrell did
not confess his crime.
Perry and William Melton, father and
son, were hanged in the parish prison at
Farmersville, La, last Friday afternoon,
for the murder of John w. Cherry, April
18th, 1854. The drop fell at 1.25. The
old man Melton's neck was dislocated,
and with the exception of slight shrug
of the shoulders he died Immediately after
the fall without struggle. His son Will
liam died in terrible agony, the loop hav-
ing caught over his chin descending, and
remaining so, allowing easy respiration.
After Is minutes his condition being un-
changed, the rope was readusted and death
resulted in II minutes. At minutes after
> the physicians pronounced life extinct.
The bodies were placed in collins and turn
ed over to friends. Both men were remark
ably cool and collected. When asked if
they had anything to say, they replied,
NO" They requested the reading OF the
death warrant and papers be dispensed
with as they wanted to get Through. Meth
er had anything to say in connection with
their crime.
On Fiday, Charles Campbell, colored, was
hanged at Point a la Hache, Plaquermine
parish, La, for murder committed in Au-
gust, 1884. The drop fell at l P. M. The
mans neck was broken and he died without
a struggle. He made no statement on the
galloWs.
George Schneider was hanged on Friday
at Hamilton, Ohio, for the murder of his
mother last fall. He made confession, at
tributing the commission to a diseased state
of the mind caused by sickness though he
said hew actuated to the crime by motive
of robbery.
Henry Etheredge, colored, was hanged on
Friday at Chiffon, Jones county, Ga, for
the murder of Tom Clemens last June. He
confessed on the scatfold. The execution
was private, but the town was filled with
people who came from all parts of the sur
rounding country hoping to see it.

RIEL'S TRIAL.

The Crown counsel who are to conduct
the prosecution on behalf of the Government
in the trial of Riel, the leader of the Mani
toba rebellion, are now in Ottawa, receiving
instructions, and up to the present the
date of the trial has not been fixed. 1t is
understood that the defense will first en-
deavor to prove Rielss American citizen
ship. This fact established, his counsel will
point out that he can only be tried forurging
war against a foreign country. The trial
would then have to be under court martial,
but as martial law was not proclaimed in
the Dominion, the trial could not be con-
Quoted in this way, and would have to be
abandoned. If tried as Canadian citizen,
it must be for high treason, and as three out
of the six jurors are to be half-breeds, it is
believed that the jury would disagree.
This would involve new trial, when the
same difficulty would undoubtedly be en-
countered. It is understood that Riels
counsel will enter the plea of insanity.

BARTHOLDI,S STATUE.

The formal reception of Bartholdi's Stat
ue of Liberty Enlightening the World took
place in New York harbor last Friday.
The lower part of the city had quite holi-
day-like appearance, being decorated with
flags and bunting, from the Battery to the
City Hall, along Broadway, the route OF
the procession in honor of the arrival Of the
statue. Up town, to the statues Of WASH
ington and Lafayette, were adorned with
flowers and evergreens. All along the river
front the shipping was adorned with the
flags of all nations.
The programme was an elaborate one.
The ceremonies began at o'clock and oc-
cupied all the forenoon and part Of the
afternoon.
The vessel conveying the statue was re-
ceived inside of Sandy Hook by fleet of
war vessels, under commodore Chandler,
and the American Yacht Club fleet, and was
escorted up the harbor to her destination
off Bedloe's Island, where the colossal stat
ue finds its home. The demonstrations
connected with the reception included a
military and civic parade, and other fea-
lures of an appropriate and imposing char
acter. The fourteenth course Of the pedes-
tai, on which the statue is to stand, was
finished, and on this course the steel girders
of the statue were placed. The pedestal,
when completed, will be eighty-nine feet
in height, the statue, including the torch,
which the figure of Liberty holds in her
hand, 151 feet and inch, and the height of
the foundation mass above mean low water
IS feet and 10 inches, making the height of
the torch above mean low water 3Oj feet and
II inches. According to these figures the
completed statute will be q feet higher
than thespire of Trinity Church, New York,
and % feet higher than the towers Of Brook
lyn Bridge.
