ApARAPHRAsE OF SENECA.

Happy the man that, when his day is DONE
Lies down to sleep with nothing of regret
The battle he has fought may not be won
The fame he sought be just as feeting yet;
Folding at last his hands upon his breast,
Happy is he, If, hoary and forscent.
He sinks into the last, eternal rest,
Breathing these only words ~ am content. y
But happier he, that, while his blood is warm,
Sees hopes and friendships dead about him lie
Bares his brave breast to envy's bitter storm,
Nor shuns the poison barbs of calumny;
And mid it all stands sturdy aud elate,
Girt only in the armor God hsth meant
For him who meath the buffetings of fate
Can say to God and man: 81 am content

The Corners in Chicago and New York
are Favorable to Russia.
WASHINGTON, August 2d.-The State De.
partment is in receipt of an exhaustive re.
port upon Russian agriculture and the
cereal trade, from United States Consul.
General Way, at st. Petersburg, He saws
the export of cereals from Russia in the
past two years show. abnormal increases,
due to three causes: First, the enormous
crops gathered from both the black lands
and the arabic prairies. Second, the
depreciation of the paper roub!e, and third,
the foolish practice of systems of corners
in the United States.
The arabic lands of Russia and Europe,
Mr.. Way says, excluding Poland, cover
an area of 100000 square miles. The
wheat growers OF Kansas and Dakota will
see at glance that the area of that fertile
territory, which, with the cheap labor
of Russia, will always prove to be a
formidable rival, and the merchants of
Chicago and New York who imagine
by cornering wheat that they will
control the markets of the world
can always take into their calculations the
product of this country as an effectual
check to their operations.
Every corner" engineered in the United
States makes an opportunity for Russia
Not one dollar is added to the import of
wealth in America. but exports from our
country being stopped Russia steps in and
gets rid of her surplus at remunerative
prices, but still far below the prehibitive
values established in Chicago and New
York, AS long as Russian wheat exists
any attempt to force the western nations
OF Europe to pay artificial prices for Amer
ican grain can but result in an absolute
failure. Perhaps if this fact were known
corners would become rare and infrequent.

NJ. Hull, editor of the BoliUdr County Demo
crat, to-day, by L. A. Weisslnger, {. lawyer.
Hull was prominently connected.
Weissinger is the editor of the Boliyar
County ReVieg, published in the same town.
There has been an editorial fight between
the two men for some time, and the last
issue of the ReVies0 contains some pointed
rejoinders to previous remarks in the Dem
ocrGt Yesterdays issue of the latter paper
contained the following on the editorial
page: "The publisher of the Democrat as
sures the editor of the Review that it will at
any time cffer him qualification to mete
out full returns for his lacerated feel
ings whenever asked, this either with bare
knuckles or at the end of glistening horse
pistols, at the point of the keenest foils, or,
if the gentleman bears Mahommedan
idea as he had proclaimed, and would like
to die as a Moslen, we will endeavor to
secure the original scimetar of Caleb and
chop off his head with its historical blade.
In other words, if Mr.. Weissinger at any
time be consuming to fight Mr. Hull, he
can be accommodated any day 10 the week
and on half an hours notice, the Missis-
sippi river being convenient and boats
plentiful"
While Hull was returning from dinner
to-day he was shot by Weissinger with a
shotgun, the charge entering his breast
and killing him. Weissinger was arrested.

KANSAS CRY, August 2d.-At half past
two this afternoon a well-dressed young
man entered the jewe!ry store of F. G.
Altman in the heart of the business center
of the city, and asked to see some diamonds.
A tray containing large number of valua-
BILE set stones was placed on the counter be-
fore him, and after an examination he
grabbed q handful and bolted through the
door and attempted to mount a saddle
horse, which ne had left unhitched in front
of the door. Before be could mount, how
ever, Altman was out and grappled with
him, but large revolver in the thief's
hands caused him to be somewhat defiant
about holding on. The thief ran down
the street followed by large crowd, but
after short distance had been covered he
turned and hourished his revolver in such
q threatening manner that most of his
pursuers gave up the chase. The bold
robber dashed into saloon, snatched
hat from one of the inmates, to replace his
which had been lost in the scuffls, and
running through the alley entered the base
ment of book store. He walked leisurely
into the store and out to the street., the
clerks having no suspicion that he was a
thief. Reaching Main street he found
hack, which he entered and was driven
away. Since then he has not been seen.
The value of the stones taken was about
81, 500.

DETERMINED TRAMP.
A Farmer Has to Fight for His Life with
a Ferocious vagabond.


rerOclOuS tagaDOnds
Woodland Democrat
A few mornings ago Lou Cramer who
lives on the other side of Cache creek, was
sitting in his house. when he heard a noise
at his front door. He went to the place.
and was confronted by big burly tramp,
who demanded something 20 eat. Mr..
Cramer told him he could give him some
thing, but before giving him anything pro-
ceeded to give him a lecture for begging at
this time of the year, he being very large
strong man, and so much harvesting being
done that he could easily find work The
tramp replied that il was none of his id
business whether he got work or not; that
sll he asked him to do was to give him
something to eat, and he was going to have
it.
Mr.. Cramer is rather a good-sized man
himself and not easily scared, and when
the tramp made this kind of a speech il
made him mad, and he ordered him off
his place, telling him he would not give
him anything. The tramp said he would
have II il he had TO whip Cramer, and be-
gan to advance toward him. Cramer
stepped backward step or two. and
through window drew out his rifle, but
before he could get it in position to use the
tramp was upon him and he was COM
PEELED to strike him with the gun Being
so close to him he could not hit him yery
hard, and he only staggered back against
a tree, and again advanced, all the time
using the most violent language toward
Cramer, and saying that he would kill him
if he could get hold of that gun. Once
again he was struck, again staggered. aud
the third time advanced, still threatening.
Cramer then struck him with the gun as
hard as he could and this time he went to
earth and appeared to be rather dazed.
When he arose Cramer ordered him to go
on, and he did so for short distance, when
he again turned round and stopped.
Cramer then told him if he came back he
would kill him. The tramp changed his
mind and went his way. Undoubtedly
had not Cramer been at home he would
have had things his own way that day

How They Harvest in California,

The Williams Farmer of recent date thus
describes W. G. Curtis big combined hary-
ester and traction engine which is at work
in that neighborhood;
Last Monday we rode out to the Curtis
ranch, in company with Joseph Lanoutte,
to see the steam traction harvester. We
may truly liken it unto the steamer Solano
which plies between Port Costa and BENZ
cia, inasmuch as it is the largest machine
ever built. The entire machine is covered
with canvas, which gave it an aspect re-
sembling large vessel, while the reel to
the header, flashing in the sun, reminded
US of an old-fashioned side-w steamer.
This winter the traction engine
will be utilized in blowing and will run
day and night. An electric light will be
used after night, the engine generating the
electricity for the same.

this summer. that Wyoming and Idaho
will be admitted as States at the coming

AT the same time New Mexico, Arizona

first and last named will not, it is believed,
stand the least prospect of success, owing to
the character of the population in New

1T is possible. though not probable, that
Arizona will come in as compromise with
Wyoming and Idaho. Statehood for the
