With Illustrations,

An amusing scene was that once enact
ed in an English hospital, between the
celebrated DIR. Abernethy and an Irish
patient. The doctor had been absent
from the hospital for a short time, and
conseoueutly many cases were no longer
in the condition in which he had lett
them. He was passing through one OF
the wards, pointing out At every step
some instructive fact to the crowd OF
pupils who followed him, when an Irish
man suddenly leaped from one OF the
beds. and prostrated himself at Aber-
nethy's feet.
Everybody was momentarily bewll-
dered d, but the poor fellow began pour
ing forth such a torrent of thanks and
blessings, illustrated by pantomimic dis
play of his leg, that the scene speedily
explained itself.

S. L. Mallory and w. A. Davis. 1t is
claimed the assets are sufficient to cover
the liabilities. The assignment is supposed
to have been caused by slow payments in
the South, where nearly all the firms
debtors are located. The creditors are
principally in the East. 1t is not thought

exceed 500, 900, but those of Trabue, Davis

DYING BY DEGREES.
Ex.President Arthur not Expected
to- Leave His House Alive.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Times this
morning says: Ex-President Arthur has
been growing steadily worse during the past
week, but has not relapsed so far as to have
lost all the ground gained during his unex-
pected rally of ten days ago. Some of the
more enthusiastic of his friends believed
that the turn for the better had come. but
the steady decline since has dampened this
enthusiasm, and there are few, if any. who
now believe that the eX-president will ever
again leave his house alive. Sudden and
unexpected rallies, followed by gradual but
steady declines, are peculiarities of Mr..
Arthur's disease, well known to physicians
and watched by them with grave fears. The
danger is ever present that the poisoned
blood of the patient will sufftse the brain,
and when that happens the victim OF
Bright's disease feels the last of his suffer-
ings. Mr.. Arthur bears his, confinement
patiently and bravely, and, knowing as he
does the hopelessness of his case, makes
the labor of love of his attendants as light
as possible by his gentleness and unvarying
cheerfulnesS.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-The president
has transmitted to congress report of the
secretary Of state. with accompanying pa
pers in respect to the location of a frontier
line between Alaska and British Columbia.
Mr.. Bayard says the British government
is prepared to take part in preliminary
investigation of the boundary question, and
that nothing now delays action but the
want of an appropriation by congress to
enable this government TO take part in the
survey.
I'm view of the facts he says, that i'm
portant and grave international questions of
Jurisdiction may at any time iarise owing to
the circumstance that great mineral wealth
exists in the territory which is traversed by
the boundary line. the secretary of state has
the honor to recommend that congress be re-
quested to enact a law to authorize the sur
vey and to appropriate the sum Of 500, 600
or so muchE thereof as may be necessary to
defray the expenses of the preliminary sur
vey.
The president in his letter of transmittal
says:
In view of the Importance of the subject,
recommend that provision be made by law
for the preliminary survey of the boundary
line in question, by officers of the United
States in order that the information nee
essary for the basis of a treaty between this
country and Great Britain for the establish
ment of definite boundary line may be OBJ
tanned.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE following crop
summary will be printed in this weeks is
sue of the Farmers Review:
The heavy rains of the past week have les
sened somewhat the former excellent outlook
for spring wheat in Nebraska, Wisconsin,

has also occasioned some injury to the winter
wheat in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and In
diana, where in some of the fields it was begin
ming to head out. The reports do not indi-
cate, however, any sserious damage
as yet. In other respects the outlook for all
the grains in all the states and territories
continues excellent. The reports of poor
showing for winter wheat, or reports of in
jury from insect life. with the exception OF
the permanent damage heretofore noted in
various counties in Kansas, are rare and iso-
lated. the presence OF the chinch bug is
noted in Morrisonvlle county, in central
Illinois, and several Indiana counties In In
diana winter wheat has attained a growth of
from ten to fifteen inches in Crawford,
Henry, Jay, Lagrange, Switzerland and Ver-
million, which send III such reports this week
that the outlook continues excellent. The
only county in Missouri to send in the report
of poor showing for winter wheat is Clay.
The report states that one-third of the acre
age has been plowed up. The generality Of
the reports of Missouri indicate d crop of 20
per cent
ABOVE THE AVERAGE.
In Harrison and Shelby counties the outlook
is declared to be tho best ever known. In
Kansas some of the counties note the i'm
provement in the winter wheat outlook
within the last thirty days. In Jefferson
county there is the promise of Is per cent. of
an average crop. In Lincoln county the early
sown wheat has been saved, and in Pawnee
county the present prospect is for fair av-
erage crop. Butler is to be added to the list
of counties where the crop is an entire fail
ure. The reports from Michigan indicate an
Improvement in the wheat outlook within the
past two weeks. The reports from
Ohio are generally of promising
character. In Ashtabula county, however
the reports indicate a poor outlook The
reports from Dakota continue favorable.
Fargo, one of the principal wheat raising
counties in the Red River valley, reports
that the outlook could not be improved,
while Cass county reports the condition of
wheat 20 per cent above the average. The
reports from Minnesota are uniformly good
The Nebraska counties still complain OF too
much rain, and that wheat on all low lands
is generally looking poorly. The general
