SOudanese Spears.

The Haden dowa spear is from six to
seven feet long. The handle is of a
piece of hard mimosa or acacia, thinner
than a broom handle. There is a long
socket attached to tine blade, into which
the wood is driven and fastened. At
the reverse end there is commonly a
piece of twisted iron or telegraph wire,
which serve the double purpose of
weighing the handle, so as to counter
balance the blade, and to prevent the
weapon being pulled from the grasp.
The spear head or blade is rarely more
than two inches broad by eight inches
long. Going into battle the Haden-
dowas grease their spears. from blade
to hilt, so that it is impossible to wrest
the weapon from their hands in a strug-
gle.
The spears used by the tribes up the
Nile are much ore formidable weap-
ons. The handle is from seven to nine
feet long, made of male bamboo wood.
1t is furnished with a terrible broad
bladed long spear head, like that Of the
Hadendowas, kept bright as a mirror
and sharp as 4 q The blades are
sometimes fourteen inches long and five
inches wide. In truth, an Arab spear
up the Nile looks more like an elongat-
ed trowel blade than anything else.
Shovel-heads our soldiers used to call
them. They make a fearful wound,
and it was with one of these Col. Burn
ably was struck in the throat and killed.
Being exceedingly light weapons, al
though badly balanced, the Arabs can
handle them with great dexterity.-

He Didn't Want Office.

Sitting Bull had never seen the presi-
dent and anticipated a long powwow
with the great father. The room vas
filled with seekers, and Sitting Bull had
only time to express his pleasure at
meeting the president when the latter
dismissed him rather unceremoniously
by saving hat he was too busy to chat
with him. Sitting Bull was terribly dis.
appointed. Gathering up his robes he
swept out of the room, making no effort
TO conceal his displeasure. The inter-
prefer, thinking to mollify him, said:
"You mustn't be angry with the great
father; he is very busy. Sometimes the
pale faces come here and stay two
moons before they can see him." To
which Sitting Bull srunted out the en-
clamation: "Humph!. White man
heap damn fool"

JOHN RUSSELL Young, ex-minister to
China, has arrived at San Francisco.
Regarding the restriction of Chinese inn
migration he says: "The British govern
or of Hong Kong could enforce the Uni
ted States restriction treaty if he were re-
quired to do so by his government. The
Chinese government have done all in
their power to prevent immigration of
Chinese to the United States, but there
is no restriction to their going from Hong
Kong. To completely carry out the re-
striction act, the United States should
negotiate a treaty with England, by
which coolies from Hong Kong would
be prohibited from sailing to this coun-
try"

WILD

From a copy of the Grand. Forks
Weekly Herald we learn that the late
legislature passed law similar to the law
in Minnesota and other states relative to
the destruction ofgrowing mustard. The
information on the subject is contained
in the advertisement of the board of su-
pervisors of one of the townships of
Grand Forks county ordering the official
destruction of mustard according to
law" which requires the town boards to
give two weeks notice by publication, or
dering farmers to do the work, and if
they fail to destroy all mustard growing
in their fields by the 18th of July, the
board is authorized to have the work
done and tax the cost proportionately.
1t will be impossible for the town
boards in Ramsey county to secure the
necessary two weeks notice prior to July
Is, owing to the fact that they were not
aware of the existence of such a law.
Nevertheless. the remedy is in the hands
of the farmers themselves, and there
/ should be no delay in the work of weed
ing the tares from the wheat. Mustard
is now in blossom, and the work of de.
stroying it is comparatively easy.

The Growing Crops.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1O.-As to crop
prospects C. NJ. Shultz in the North
western Miller says: The spring wheat
crop is just now passing the most crit
ital period So far it has escaped serious
damage and three weeks of good
weather will place most OF the crop be-
yond damage. There has been a good
deal of rain in Minnesota and Dakota
since July |. which has been a great
benefit in ONE places and caused some
damage III others. Up to Sunday there
had not been any too much rain, but
during the past three days farmers in
the Red river valley and along the
James river in Dakota are complaining
that moisture and hot weather COM
bined are hurting the crop. Wheat is
beginning to rust in some places, but
not enough to u any serious alarm
as yet. In the northern portion of
Minnesota and Dakota the crop is all
right so tar, but late rains have caused
some apprehension. With cool and
windy weather there will be no damage.
Reports from the southern portion of
this state are not as favorable as a week
ago. Wheat is turning yellow in places
and much of it is going to head only six
to eight inches above ground. Reports
from the country adjacent to the
Winona & St. Peter road in Minnesota
say the crop will not be as large as that
of 1884. and late reports from the James
river valley and along the Milwaukee
road are less favorable than a week ago
The present condition of the crop, with
| the exception of the southern countie:
in this state, is in excellent.
