Condition of the Wheat Crop

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Tribune pub
fishes number of special dispatches reIa-
tive to the condition of winter wheat in
Indiana and Illinois. In Southern Indiana
the plants have suffered severely from
the alternating thawing and freezing.
In eleven counties in Indiana and four
counties in Illinois not even fair crop is
expected, but the reports from eight Illinois
and two Indiana counties indicate that the
crop is uninjured. Even the most discour-
aging dispatches do not indicate any great
injury to the roots, and the farmers hope
that few weeks of good growing weather
will repair all damages Peaches in all Sec
tons are total failure. Apples and small
fruits escaped better and the indications
point to good average crop.
LYNCHBURG, Va, March IL Reports
from the principal wheat-growing counties
in this State show the acreage planted to
have been small, and the plants, have been,
to large extent, frozen out of the ground,
ard greatly damaged.

an Unlooked-For Result OF AdverLisi.

CoHoEs, N. Y, March A. For the pur-
pose of attracting attention to their estab-
lishment, drs-goods firm here advertised
that it would sell three yards Of silk for
one cent. The store was thronged with
women at an early hour yesterday and
a quantity of silk was secured by the
first tomers. This heightened the excite
ment, and soon the store and sidewalk
were blocked with half frantic women.
Some of them climbed on the counters
others screamed, few tainted and others
were trampled upon and severely injured,
Several hundred dollars, worth Of goods
was destroyed and fora while pandcmonium

The Important Changes in Rates of POST
age to Take Place July /.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The Post
Office Department has received inquiries
from all quarters as to the new legislation
in the Post-Office Appropriation bill. 1t
was not possible, on account of the
changes made in conference, to ascertain
what the changes as to postage were until
the bill had been officially printed. A GER
tilted copy of the bill, furnished by the
State Department, has just been received
from the Government Printer. The fol-
lowing are the important changes which
will take effect, beginning with July 1,
1885:
First-The weight of all single-rata letters is
increased from one-haf ounce each or frac-
ton thereof to one ounce each or fraction
thereof The same increase of weight is
allowed for drop.letters, whether mailed at
stations where there is free delivery or
where carrier service is not established.
Second-All newspapers sent from the office
of publication, including sample copies, or
when sent from news agency to actual sub
scribers thereto, or to other news agents, shall
be entitled to transmission at one cent per
pound or fraction thereof, the postage to be
prepaid. This is a reduction of one-half from
existing rates.
Third-Any article in a newspaper or other
publication mag be marked for obs ervat Oh,
except by written or printed words, without
1HCTCaSC Oh pOSlttSt.
Fourth-l'hat special stamp of the value
of ID cents may be issued, which, when at
tached to q letter, in addition to the lawful
postage thereon, shall entitle the letter to
jmmed ate delivery at any Pace
according to the Federal census,
within tie carrier limit of any free delivery
Off be-, or within one III lie OF tie post Office, or
any other post Office coming within the pro-
visions of this law, which may, in Ike man
ner, be designated as special delivery office;
that such specially stamped letters shall be
delivered between seven o'clock a. m. and
midnight; that a book shall be provided in
which the person to whom the letter is
addressed shall acknowledge its receipt;
that messengers for this special delivery
are to be paid eighty per cent. of the face
value of all the stamps received and recorded
in moath provided that the aggregate COM
penSation pad to any one person for such
service shall not exceed thirty dollars per
month; and provided, further that the regu-
at'ons for the delivery of these specially
stamped letters shall in no way interfere with
the prompt delivery of letters as provided by
existing law and regulations.
These are all the provisions of the new
law which make changes in relation to
postage. The Government has doubled tho
weight which may be carried for two cents,
has reduced the postage one-half OH news
papers sent from publication Offices, and
has provided that a letter, for ten cents adj
ditional, may be Immediately delivered by
special messenger at any time between sew
en- O'Clock in the morning and midnight.

HOW LONDON IS GOVERNED.
ny RLToT MCCORMICK.


In striking contrast to the misgov-
crnment OF the City of London is the
orderly and economical rule which,
for the most part, prevails over the
rest Of the Metropolis. This, how
ever, dates back only to the year
1855. Before that timc the condi-
tion of things outside the City limits
was unspeakably worse than 1t was
within. The villages and parishes,
which in old times cnyironed the City
walls, at little distances apart, had
grown together, and become, by the
mere process Of expansion, q great
city. AT the same time they retained
their several forms of local govern
mcnt, coming into inter-eommunica
ton only 0pon questions Of sewerage
and the making Of mortality returns
Within what is now the Metropolitan
area comprising about l20 square
miles around The City Of London
there were as many as 800 different
governing bodies, deriving their pow
ers from more than $50 separate acts
Of Parliament, and having q member
ship of 10000 persons. In the exer
else Of these powers, one set Of au-
thorities frequently came into con-
tract with another, and condition of
chaos generally prevailed, which is
not inaptly described BY Sir BeDja
min Hill-the initiaor Of the Metro
politan system-as ''the most extra
ordinary state Of local management
that ever existed 10 any country"
Under the Metropolis Local Man
agement Acs Of 1856 the first effort
was made to remedy these evils. 1t
was not attempted to construct
municipal government, or. indeed, to
build up any new framework, but
rather to organize and coordinate
the existing machinery. Heretofore,
what government there was had
been administered through The parish
es; Of these twenty three larger ones
we're how adopted as self governing
centres, or vestries, while the remain
ing filty-Iiye were divided into lfteen
groups of vestries-- known as Dis
trict Boards, and numbering two to
eight parishes each-making aitogeth-
er thirty -eigbt organizations for local
government with an aggregate mems
bersbip Of about 5000. Under this
arrangement the vestrymen were to
be elected by the rate-prayers, for
terms Of three years, one-third going
out each year; but where there was q
District Board it's members were to
be chosen, not by the rate-payers,
but the members Of the vestries Of
which it was composed Thus, in
two-thirds Of the entire number of
parishes the people are denied direct
representation; and It has not infre-
quently happened that persons de-
ieated On the popular election for
vestrymen have afterwards been Sc
lected BY the vestries as members OF
the District Boards The principal
duties Of the v6stries and boards ere
connected with the management of
the public highways, and include
paving, watering, cleansing, dusting,
lighting, and minor drainage. besides
the collection Of the public rates
Their most important function, how
ever. Is the election Of representatives
10 The Metropolitan Board Of Works
the central authority in respect to
public improvements for the entire
Metropolitan District

ECZEMA.

For the benefit of suffering humanity deem
it only my duty to give this unsolicited testi
mony in favor of Swift's Specific. Ny wife has
been afflicted with Eczema from infancy. We
tried every known remedy but to no avail She
was also afflicted with periodical nervous
headache. sometimes followed by an inter
mittent fever, so that her life became burden
to her. Finally | determined to try Swifss
Specific. She commenced seven weeks ago.
After taking the first large bottle the disease
seemed to increase; the burning, itching and in
hammation became unbearable She. however.
persevered in the use of the medicine. After
taking the second bottle the Inflammation be-
gan to subSide. After the third bottle the in
hammati9n disappeared, and sore spots dried
up and turned white and scaly. and finally she
brushed them off in an impalpab!e white pow
der resembling pure salt. She is now taking
the sixth bottle; every appearance of the dis
ease is gone, and her flesh is soft and white as
child's. Her headaches have disappeared and
she enjoys the only good health she has known
in 40 years. No wonder she deems every bottle
of S. s. S. is worth thousand times its weight
in gold.
Any further information concerning her case
will be cheerfully given by herself at her resi-
deIce, 49, Mullett street. or oy me.
