mol it shall never be said that gave up
two young girls who had sought refuge in
the sanctuary of my convent!"
An instant afterward she fell back,
wounded in the arm by trust from Cor

"Where are theyg" reared Corceli, foam
ing with rage.
The abbess answered nothing.
"Nuns Of hell" exclaimed he. twill you de-
liver up to me Isabella, the daughter of tho
Duke of ARGOS, and Jeanne, the sister OF Mn-
saniello"
No voice returned an answer.
Corcelli repeated his question.
Then an old sister advanced, and taking
God to witness that she and her companions
were acting under the influence Of fear she
led the bandit into the cell occupied by thu
young girls.
Jeanne and Isabella were asleep in the
same bed.
The old nun awoke the sister md the afil-
anced of Masaniello.
'Rise and dress yourselves, my dear chill
dren," said she.
"Why so, good mother" asked Isabella.
"You will know but too soon. Easteu,
then, and dress yourselves, and offer up a
fervent prayer to heaven. The convent has
been invaded"
''But where is my brotherl" exclaimed
Jeanne.
''Masnniello is doubtless still ignorant Of
thy misfortune. The holy Madonna alone
can save u.s."
The two girls pat their clothes on hastily.
Corcelli summoned Isabella to his pres
ence.

Isabella hestatod
"Your companion must also accompany
you. Tho Duke Of ARGOS wills it So"
But my father does not know Jeanne"
''It is who have spoken TO Kim Of the SIS

'What can be Iny fataer's object in wish

"Masaniello holds you as hostage"
"Wellf'
'Corpo Sartol the Duke Of ARGOS would
not be sorry to have, in his turn, the sister Of

with Indignation. My father is a Castil-
ian, my father is a robloman, ard he is in
capable Of having given you such an order"
LESS words, if you please" cried Corceli;
and turning to his men, he added ITO your
duty!'
Five or six briSands rushed into tho cell,
seized the young girls, bound them in spite
OF their cries, and then gagged them both.
Corceli returned To the chapel, barricaded
tho gates of the convent on the outside, and
effected his retreat with his double prey
without having aroused any ono in the whole
ueighborhood.

The report of the Department of Aari.

The report of the Department of Agri-
culture says:
Low temperature and deficient rainfall
with drying winds and some frost have
reduced the condition of winter wheat
/ in the central States. 1t has also been
cool on the Atlantic coast and not favor
| able to improvement, and vet the plant
has nearly held its own in this region.
On the Pacific coast only medium devel-
opment is reported Southern States
changes are slight, several averages be-
ing the same as last month. Pennsylvania
shows decline of points, New York
l6, Ohio 10, Michigan 12, Indiana 6, Illi-
Dois z, Missouri 2, Kansas 8. The gen.
eral average is reduced points-from
SO to 73. Last year the condition was
reduced from SO in April to S3.S in May
State averages of winter wheat in the
principal States are as follows: New
York 76, Pennsylvania 81, Virginia 80,
Ohio Sc, Michigan GA, Indiana SO, ILL.,
nois 81, Mississippi 80, Kansas "a, Texas
90. Spring ploughing is not quite so
well advanced as usual. It is relatively
later in the more Northern States of the
Atlantic coast, slightly later than usual
in the Middle States, and scarcely up to
a full average in the South. It's progress
is an average in the Ohio Valley, but
late in the Northwest, especially in
Dakota.
Cotton planting was delayed by exssec
of moisture in February and low tempera-
ture in March, the soil not being in con-
dition for early planting. The delay was
greatest in Texas and Louisiana. In
Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina
from to 6 per cent less than usual was
planted on the first of May. In States
on the coast, from South Carolina to
Mississippi, planting is nearly up to its
average advancement.
Investigation of the rate of wages of
agricultural labor shows that no material
change has occurred since the last pre-
vious inquiry, in May, 1885. There is a
slight increase in New England, in the
northern tier of States from Michigan
westward, and in some of the Southern
States. There is no appreciable change
in the Central States. Next months re-
port will give rates by States.
Winter rye remains very nearly as in
April, the average being 92.9 instead of
93.5. The condition of winter barley is
sS.3, promising a medium crop.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS.
Report Of the State AariculturaI Depart
ment.

The State Department of Agriculture
publishes a report made up from 244
returns from all the counties except
Georgetown, showing the condition Of
crops at the close of April. The area in
cotton is slightly greater than last years,
and the condition as compared with last
years is rated at Al per cent. The area
in corn is increased, and its condition
rated at 90. The area in rice is slightly
smaller than last years, condition a..
Tobacco is being planted simply to ex-
pertinent, the number of plants being the
same as last years. The department is
cooperating in these experiments in or
der, if possible, to add tobacco to the
staple crops of the State. The condi-
ton of the wheat crop is reported at "a,
and oats at 92, both below last years
estimate. The pay of farm laborers en-
ployed by the year averages $3.50 per
month, with board. This rate is an adj
vance of forty-two cents per month over
the average rate last year. The depart
ment notes increased interest among the
farmers in its work, and more general
desire for information.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.
Loose Cars RIM Into a Train at Fountain,
Col.-severai Persons Killed.


Train No. Z, known as the Thunder
bolt, arrived at Fountain, Col, at 2:41
a. m. Sunday, and had only been stand
ing few minutes when caboose and
some cars, the brakes of which had got
loose in some way, ran down from the
side-track and struck the train with ter
rife force. One car was loaded with
naptha, which exploded, throwing oil
over everything and setting the train on
fire. Trainmen showed the uniniured
cars back from the wreck, and were try
ing to save the depot, when il was dis
covered that two cars were standing on
the main track that were not wrecked.
The nearest one was burning, and was
tagged powder Shortly afterward
the car exploded, completely demolish-
ing the depot, several buildings, and a
number of cars. Three persons, one
woman and two men, were killed BY the
iexplosion, and some twelve or fifteen
injured, but none very seriously. There
a hole in the ground where the car
stood about thirty feet in diameter and
twelve feet deep. Two cars were burned,
and sixteen, together with the locomo-
tive, were more or less wrecked. It is
supposed that tramps slipped off the
brakes from the cars.

An ingenious writer has been figuring
out in the Contemporary RevieD the com
parative burden OF the national debts
and war expenditure of the chief
Euro can nations and that Of the United
States. Taking France and England
together he shows that they pay some
S4O7, 900, 900 a year on their public
debt, and $40, 900, 900 for army and
navy, besides giving up to military
service the productive energy of 7SO, 900
able bodied men. Estimating the value
OF this labor at 800 each, there is an
other $73, 900, 900 TO be added TO the
annual charge which France and Eng
land pay for their armies, navies and
debts. This, it will be seen, reaches the
appalling total of $500, 900, 900, to be
paid by a population only % per cent.
greater than that OF the United States,
and one certainly very much less able
10 bear such a burden. As against
this we pay little more than $3.50, 0OO,-
900 year for army, navy and debt,
leaving $3.50, 900, 900 year in our favor
as compared with France and England
together. That, under such conditions,
this country must go ahead in the race
for world supremacy as rapidly and as
surely as European nations must fall b.
hind, needs no prophet to totsteIL
