A much smaller cotton crop than was
hoped for seems to be a settled point. But
then with the abundance of everything else
which is assured, a half crop of cotton will
be as good or better than full one without
the corn, sorghum, potatoes, etc., etc., with
which we are this year blest.

Mr.. GALLAGHER, practical chemist, OF
Roxbury. Mass, who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
"a friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, was disposed to quit
them; but he urged perseverance, and,
before ] had finished the second box,
began to experience relief. i continued
taking them, ut intervals, until / had
used eleven boxes. Suffice IL to say,
that am now well man, and grateful

That's What They Called Him.

The late Dean of Chichester has been tho subject of many amusing stories When the dean was vicar of St. Mary the Virgins church, Oxford-from the pulpit of which Cardinal Newman delivered his famous ser mons-a parishioner brought @ mals child to be christened. When asked the name they desired to give, the sponsors replied, "Vanus" "Venus!" he exclaimed, indig-, nantly. "How dare you ask me-" said the vicar, Ito call it any such namel In the first place it is not mans name at all, but that of a most wicked and abandoned female" "Please, sir, the childs grandfather was christened Vanus," exclaimed the godmother, very much alarmed What! do you mean to say he's got grandfather called 'Venusr Where is his grandfatherp The christening was suspended till he came-a poor old fel- low, bent double with rheumatism, years and toll, and looking little like Venus as can possibly be imagined. 'Do you mean to tell me, my good man, that you were christ ened Venuss' :'Wen, no, sir" he coughed and stammered, "I was christened 'Sylvanus,' , but folks always called me Vanus".-Home Journal.

Throughout this statement-excepting changes of names and places-I have told the truth. I still tell the truth, when I declare that it is impossible for me to describe what I felt, when Priscilla's name confronted ma like written confession of guilt. How long it was before recovered myself in some de- gree, cannot say. The only thing can clearly call to my mind is, that I frightened the poor engraver.
 My first desire was to get possession of the manuscript inscription. What little money 1 had about me offered to the engraver He drew back from my hand. "You shall have it for nothing" he said, Eff you will go away and never come here again" He tried to cut it out of the psge-but his trembling hands were helpless. cut it out myself and attempted to thank him. He wouldn't hear me. "Go away" he said; Fl don't like the look of you"
 It may here be objected that ought not to have felt so sure Gs did of the woman's guilt until had got more evidence against her. The knife might have been stolen from her after she had snatched out of the engraver's hands, and used by the thief ts commit the murder. All very true. But never had a moments doubt in my own mind from the time when read the damnable limo in the engravers book.
 went back to tho railway without any plan in my head. The train by which had proposed to follow her had left Gravesend. The next train that arrived was for London. I took my place in it-still without any plan in my head

Petroleum as a Remedy.

Among the safe and simple remedies which are good for curing local ailments is crude petroleum. have used it for twenty years, and it never did me any harm, and mostly a good deal of good. Twenty years ago, having purchased barrel of the oil, directed . hired man to apply it to the outsides and roofs of barn buildings, He objected that his hands were sore and he feared the oil would iujure them, He concluded, however, to mako the trial. He worked at it three days, at the end of which time he told me his hands were quite we'll, It had cured them. In applying it as an external remedy, it does not produce quick and brilliant effect, but used several times at intervals its work is safe and certain, Country Gentleman.

Accidents and Casualties.

Charles Wheeler, "a years old, the son of
j. w. Wheeler, of Washington county, Mimi
was instantly killed at White Bear Lake He
was driving his team, his sister and Bella
Delano being with him in the buggy, and the
horses, scared by alocomotive, ran the buggy
against tree, tipping it over on the side,
and striking his head against the tree,
breaking his skull. His death was instan-
taneous. Miss Delano had a collar bone
broken.
An explosion occurred upon Lincoln Az
enue, Chicago and upon investigation the
fragments of an exploded gas pipe bomb
were discovered on the sidewalk 1t had been
abou eight inches long and two inches in di-
ameter, and had evidently contained no
more powerful explosive than powder, as the
pipe, itself had not been wholly blown to
pieces. Apparently the bomb had been
placed upon the sidewalk, the fuse lighted
and left to explode while the perpetrators de-
camped.
The west-bound fast train on the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad collided
with a freight car at Round Grove, thirty
five miles west of Quincy. The fast train was
running at full speed, and the freight car,
which was loaded with grain, was knocked
into kindlingwood. The engine is complete
wreck. The engineer and fireman were badly
injured. None of the passengers were hurt
1t is thought one of the freight cars ran
through the switch to the main track, as the
brake was out of the order. There are sus-
picions that the car was placed on the main
line to wreck the fast train.

Youthful Roudyism in Iowa

Sheriff st. John of Usage, Iowa. was called
to Douglass township, ten miles distantsto
arrested Cornie O'Brian, aged seventeen years
and Warren Murphy, aged fifteen. They were
arrest and charged with murder in the first
degree. The facts are as follows: Not long
since young O'Brian was discovered BY
Henry Stocum, age nineteen years, in the act
of turning several cans of cream into well.
Some words concerning the matter were
passed between them at the time One night
a few days later, when young Stocum was
returning home from neighbours where he
had been working, he was waylaid by
two young men whom he recognized as
O'Brian and Murphy He was beaten so
severely that his injuries demanded the
skilled treatment of a physician. The par
ties were arrested the next day and taken to
Riceville, where they were tried in the justice
court, and to the surprise of every body, were
discharged, after paying fine of SIS and
costs. Stocum, despite the most skillful
medical treatment and careful nursing, failed
to rally from the severe pounding which he
had undergone, and after lingering be-
tween life and death for q little more than q
wsek, died.

Elder William R. Slocum, of Beach
Pond, R. l., who was arrested the
other day charged with cruelty to
animals, is called 'squeer' by his
neighbors. He is rs years old, and
lives in long, low house, in which
are table, blacksmith shop, a
kitchen, sitting room and a parlor.
Across the ridgeboard Of the house
he has placed a big table, so that it
forms a platform, from which he
breaches long sermons to imaginary
audiences. The cruelty to animals
consists in not feeding his cow and
calf, andin abusing them in his efforts
to train them. The calf is pretty
well trained, and will march to the
right or left and halt at command.
Not long ago he drove his cow to the
pond, and. went through the ceremony
of baptizing her. She is SO poor that
she can hardly stand. When the of.
f1cials went to arrest them he met them
at the outer gate of a circle of gates
leading to the house, armed with a
two-edged sword, made from an old
scythe, commanded them to halt and
told them that they were about to
tread on sacred soil, and must enter
each gate with the right foot in ad.

The proposed bridge over the Hud-
son river at New York City is GER
tainly the most stupendous under
taking it's kind yet proposed in
this country. The cost is estimated
at $40, 100000, or nearly twice as
much again as the Brooklyn bridge.
The bridge proper is to absorb $16,-
100000 Of this; the approaches $12,
100000, and the land necessary for
the approaches $14, 100000. There
is but one span over the stream,
which is a good deal wider at it's mar
roWest available point than the East
river at it's broadcast.

The British Columbia Indian War.

The steamer Caroline returned to Victoria,
B. C. from her visit to Skeena river to look
into the reported revolt among the Indians
and if necessary to quell it. The vessel left
for Skeena on July 16, having on board c
battery and sixteen special constables, in all
about one hundred men. When the Caroline
arrived at the mouth of the Skeena iEforma-
ton was first sought as to the condition of
affairs at Hazleton, which is $50 miles from
the mouth of the river, and distant ten days
by canoe, the river being mad torrent en-
closed by lofty canyons. A trader named
Hazleton and stated that the reports
about the Hudson Bay company's agent
and Others were totally unfounded.
With the exception of the missionary at
Hazleton, all the white residents had en-
tered the shelter formed by the Hudson Bay
compaDys barricaded post. The Indians
were very threatening in their demeanor and
still very excited over the killing of Kit Wan
cool Jim by Constable Green, who is now
said to be q deserter from the American
army. He was of the opinion that serious
trouble would probably ensue unless special
police proceeded Immediately to Hazleton.
Two more Indians had been killed, caused by
some tribal feud A letter from Constable
Washburn at Hazleton, sent to the govern
ment, contains an account of the killing of
these two men. The trip to Hazleton in
canoes will take nine or ten days, and as
soon as facts are ascertained a messenger
will be forwarded to Commandment Holmes
ofC. Battery. If trouble occurs the battery
will at once proceed up the river.
A Winnipeg telegram saws: Mr.. Wrigley,
chief commissioner of the Hudson Bay COM
pany, was seen regarding the Skeena river
trouble. He was not inclined to take as
sanguine a view of the condition of affairs as
the newspaper reports Indicated It was a
case of two extremes. Too much was made
of the matter at first, and now the tendency
| seemed to be to underestimate the probable
| seriousness of the affair.
