Major y. J. Russell, who visited
Monticello on yesterday, to set in motion
the machinery of the "Teacher', Insti-
tute," which is to continue two weeks,
was captured by citizens and influenced
to deliver an address in CarrolI's Hall last
evening. A very fair audience was pres
ent, and the subject treated of was educa-
cation. We have neither time nor space
TO refer to this address as it merits, but
all who have ever heard Major Russell,
from stump or rostrum, need not be told
that it was logical, forcible, earnest and
eloquent. He is grand man and grand
speaker, and we are satisfied that his i'm
promptu effort on this occasion will result
in good.-Monticelo Constitution.

The result OF the labcrs Of the Ccns;i-
tutional Convention which adjourned
Mauday is laid before orr readers to-day.
That the session was lengthy and its pro-
ceedings vexed by much heated discussion

The door OF deliberati.e body being
thus made partisan arena it is not
surprising that the majority in Con
yention did not have the gene

Maxwell Admits He Killed TreIler.

Maxwell. in the presence OF several re-
porters and the Jail guards at st. Louis
confessed that he had killed Prellcr by ud
ministering an overdose OF chioroiornl. In
order to pin him down he was asked TO sign
q statement to that effect, and this he did
in the presence OF several witnesses. He
said that all other statements which he
had made were given under instructions
from his attorney. In making this state
ment Maxwell said:
'Whcn .Pre!ler died there was no groan-
ing. When IL man takes chloroform he
hreathes like this': and Maxwell il
lustria ted in /. Inost striking man
ner how one chloformed breathcs.
He threw back his head and emit
ted q sound which was most peculiar, fore
ing the air from his lungs with q singular
choking result "'Nhat is the way u man
brcathes who has taken chloform, > he said,
apparently charmed with his misnicry. He
said that it would be proved that Preller
had been a sufferer from heart disease, and
he asked naively. Do you know the effect
OF chloTorm on a person who has heart dis
ease, SO that it will do no harm, but the
chances are always against it, as any doc
tor will tell you. Now Preller had heart
disease, a fact which could be proved out
side of my testimony. His family knew it,
and others knew. He told ncabout it long
ago. Whenever administered chloroiorsn
TO him [ did it with the greatest care, on
this account

a Large Load Of LOGS,

Some time ago Harrer's Weekly drew
some unfavorable comment to itself by
O. cut purporting to represent load Of
fourteen logs loaded in one Of the Wis
consin timber camps. It was said by
the untraveled fastener, who had been
taught that one log was a big load for a
team, that no team could STIR such
load even if it could be made up. The
present issue Of the Weekly vindicates
its former statement. In 8 half page
cut Of Michigan lumber scenery it gives
q load OF twenty logs with tho driver
perched on the top Of the pile, appar.
entity on aIevel with the surrounding
tree tops. The letter which az
companies the photograph from which
the illustration was taken states that tho
load was made up in one OF the numer-
Gus camps Of the Gratwick, Smith s.
Fryer Lumber Company Of Tonawanda.
The logs were sixteen feet long and seal
ed IA, 595 feet, board measure. It was
hauled, four miles and banked in Otsego
Lake, Michigan. It is reckoned the
largest load of pine logs ever handled
by one team.

1t has been the custom Of Eastern
newspapers to speak OF the West as
the home OF cyclones and tornadoes,
but recent experiences at home have
made them change their tune. Some
of the worst blows ever recorded We're
in tine Eastern states. A Washington
paper is moved to say: obstructive
storms are'evidentkJ more common in
the east now than formerly, What
the reason is, and possible remedies,
should engage the close attention Of
science tits likely that the American
architect of the future will pay more
attention to cellars and Easements
tth.4dsn has heretofore been given to that
branch OF domestic architecture
The West has got q bad reputation,
mainly on account Of frequent exagg-
CREATIONS by. reporters OF the damage
done. 1t is not enough to state facts,
as they do at the east, but accounts
must contain a 'fina writing and the
product Of vivid inlaginations. and
these things are transferred bodily
INTO eastern papers to the detriment
,fwestern sections where such q thing
ilsa cyclone. was never known.

In England, as in the United States,
railroad freights are higher for short
hauls than for long hauls; and smaller
towns complain that they are dis
criminated against. The town OF Hull
is just now complaining that her mer-
chants and manufacturers are charged
as high rates as those of Newcastle,
which is much farther from London.
They demand that their rates shall
be lowered, or those for Newcastle
raised, in proportion to distance.
Thus this question is not settled in

No Fears of Cholera.

Surgeon General Hamilton, OF the Marine
hospital at Washington, says that there is
as yet nothing to alarm the people OF the
United States in the reports coming by ca
bic Of the spread OF cholera. despite
all that has been said about the
shores, this year, he says there is not single
crcumstanceto render the risk grca ter tina n
it was last year. There is every indication
that this years outbreaks are TO follow tbs
course OF those OF last year, the localities
suffering most severely being those which
have not taken the most ordinary precau-
tions Of cleanliness and distinction. DR..
Hamilton says Americas danger is mainly
from cholera in England or in Cuba. 1t has
been his impression that ii it comes to the
United Sta tss it would come by " a. Of Cuba,
and for this reason the efforts OF the service
have been directed mainly against contasion
in that direction.
