A French Lawsu;,

From Bordeaux comes the report OF
lawsuit which shows that French
officials have sometimes ideas of the
intensest originality. A merchant Of
that town had two casks of rum stolen
from his bonded store. The thieves
are caught and punished, but unluckily
they had disposed of the rum before
beng taken, and consequently the mer-
chant had no other satisfaction than is
afforded by the knowledge that his un-
welcome patrons will be the guests of
the State for few years. Having writ
ten off the value of his two casks of
rum, the merchant thought to have
done with the matter, but incredible as
il may appear the collectors of Revenue
Indirects came down on him for the
taxes due on the stolen spirits, because,
as they contended, it had gone into
consumption. Naturally enough the
application was treated as preposterous,
and the case will soon be submitted for
the decision of the Bordeaux tribunals.
The Sultan of Morocco has decided
to engage number of German officers
to instruct his army, which is to be re-
organized on the German military
basis.

one-half an average yield of corn. In
Chutauqua and Graham counties the yield
IS placed at three-fourths of an average.
In Minnesota corn has attained a growth
OF SIX to eight feet and the present outlook

Communication in Utica Herald
I see by the Herald of to-day that your
correspondent ''Rosicrucian" repeats a
statement he made six or seven years ago,
to the effect that Goblet. after taking the
exhumed bones of Thomas Paine from
America to England, left them in ware
house at Liverpool, land no one knows
what became of them" The facts are that
Goblet took the bones to his own house at
Farnham. where they remained slowed
away" till after Cobbet's death in 1885,
when his estate, real and personal. went
under the hammer. At the sale the box
was brought out into the upper hall of the
house. no one knowing the contents of the
package. On opening it plate plainly
told what was packed underneath. The
auctioneer, on reading the plate, uttered an
exclamation of establishment at the discov-
cry, and then said: Il have never sold hui
man flesh and never will sell human bones.
WhereupOn the lid was again nailed on and
the box removed. Such is the account of
the affair as read by the undersigned, now
over fifty years ago. Doubtless there are
those living of Cobbet's grandchildren, and
perhaps other persons, who know what at
last was done with the bones of the author
hero of the American revolution.

The Jilting Oh ssuri Cairns.

London World.
This time the tables are turned, and
Lord Cairns is fairly entitled to such conso-
lation as he can derive from the commiser-
alton of his friends. The engagement
which began so auspiciously and received
the solemn benedction of the patron saint
of American beauty and innocence among
the roses and revelries of the Riviera is at
an end, and the sole remaining memorial of
the projected union is an elaborate trous-
seau, literally besprnkled with C.'s and
coronets. The settlements proved an in
surmountable objection, and it was on this
rock that Lord Cairns matrimonial hopes
made shpwreck. Mr.. Grant pere is an in
valid, and never even saw his intended SON
in-law; Mrs. Grant, who arranged every
thing. imagined him to be rich and power
full, after the manner of most English earls;
the lawyers dispeIled her illusion; desira-
bic Dutch millionaire had been very atten-
tive at Cannes; II. R. II. was called into
council. and in the result Lord Cairns was
sacrificed. He will now have ample leisure to
mediate on the mutability of things in gen.
eral. and, above all, on the fckleness of
American ladies and the folly of putting
too much trust in the favor of princes.

Terrible fires are raging all around the

Late adviceS from Spencer tonight are
that the fire is practically under control,

At 2:20 freight train came up from below
and as the engineer saw he could not stop
before reaching the fire he went on at full
speed. The heat, however had warped
the rails and just as the engine and fe w
ears had passed safely through the burn

railed and a portion of the train was
left standing IN the midst of the flames.

Crops i'm Dakota.


WooNsoCKET. Aug From a careful
estimate of grain that has already been
thrashed. it is evident this section of the
country was not SO badly damaged by
drouth as some others. Wheat is yielding
from twelve to twenty bushels per acre and
is grading No. 2. Oats are not as regular
as wheat, some fields yielding heavy, while
others go very light. The late rains have
largely benefited corn, and unless we get
an early frost it will make good crop.
Early flax is poor, but late fax owing to
late rains may make half crop. In the
district devastated by hail. composing ter
ritory from half a mile to two miles in
width and some forty miles in length, losses
were from One-fourth to total, but great
portion was through section badly dam
aged by drouth previously. And most
farms were protected by insurance, The
adjusters of the farmers protective and
guarantee association of this city are nearly
through adjusting and average loss will foot
up about ten bushels per acre on wheat,
which has been paid as fast as adjusted.

western Wisconsin, which has prevailed this
