A good story is told at the expense
of one of tho Young fellows of the
academy who conceived a strong lik-

The lady teachers never permit boxes
from home or elsewhere containing

their fair charges. The young fellow

the fact that many unpromising boys
develop into famous and brilliant men.

Worked too Well for Him,

WATERTowN,, N. Y, May o.
1t seems probable that Cornelius
Donnelly, of this city, who was found
by his wife yesterday afternoon with
a rope around his neck and in the
last struggles of strangulation. did
not intend to kill himself, and only
wanted TO frighten Mrs. DonnelIy, to
whom he had been married only
about four months, into giving him
possession of her property, amount
ing to about $4,000. On Thursday
he took up his razor and told her he
would cut his throat, but was easily
persuaded not to do so, and on Fri
day afternoon he pretended to try to
hang himself in the manner in which
he finally ended his life. This Sec
ond attempt was apparently frustra-
ted by his wife. Yesterday he tried
again, but his wife believing him to
be feigning was not so prompt in res
cuing him, and when she did arrive
he was past saving. He took
clothes line, put moose abo1t his
neck and throwing the line over
some clothes hooks on the wall, he
leaned forward, holding the other
end of the rope in his hands, with
looking glass leaned against the win
dow opposite, so that he might see
the progress of events. He was a
handsome fellow, had good trade
and his wife was dutiful in every
thing, except the giving up of her
wealth. About 500 was found in his
pocket.

even if this were so. there are local
issues which in all probability may
lose us the same number of votes

condition squarely in the face, not to
temporarily bridge it over. because
this perhaps may be done, but in
order to adopt some permanent plan
that will bring us back to our moor
ings and keep this State in accord
ance with the true sentiments OF a
large majority of our people, safely
within the Democratic ranks. 1t Is
not the controversies among political
factions that should occasion the
whole alarm, because sometimes they
drift apart very widely and come to-
gether very closely afterWard. What
ought to concern us is the spirit OF
discomfort and dissatisfaction among
the people who are Democrats from
principle. who want no political
office, and vino have no party favors
to ask except an honest administra-
ton of the party's affairs. We might
convene all the warning factions in
this city and apportion among them
the public perquisites and patronage
according to their influence and re-
quirements, but there is power be-
hind the factions that cannot be pur'
chased and silenced in this way.

Alarmed Democracy.

Hon. Isador Rayner, who repre-
scented the Fourth District of Mary
land in the Fiftieth Congress and was
defeated for reelection by Hon,
Henry Stockbridge, Jr., deliverd an
address at the Concordia Opera
House, Baltimore. on Tuesday even
ing, before a large audience of his
fellow Democrats, chiefly of the bet
ter element of that organization, in
which he plainly expressed the alarm
now prevailing as to the future pros
poets of the party in this State. On
this point he said;
The Democratic party in Mary
land is in a critical condition we
may say otherwise and deceive our
selves in thinking to the contrary,
but the fact still remains that it is.
IF we deduct the majority in the
Third Congressional district, 900
votes will cover the majority in the

How TO REAP JURY.-Officials
in criminal courts who take the
trouble to make study of jurors can
usually tell just what sort of YER
dict jury will give as soon as its
members return after deliberating
upon case. There is always some-
thing in their faces which indicates
to the experienced eye, whether the
verdict is guilty or not guilty. "This
man is going to be acquitted. sure"
said an old court officer in General
Sessions as a jury came in with a
verdict in an important case few
days ago. "You see, about every
man in the box turned his face to the
defendant as soon as he took his seat.
That's always sure sign. I never
knew it to fail. When the verdict is
for conviction the jurors invariably
keep their eyes on the judge or on
the ceiling. Members of convict
ing jury often seem to find it very
difficult to look upon the prisoner.
even when the clerk instructs them
to do so. suppose the explanation
of it is that with most people it is a
hard matter to infiict pain, even on a
guilty man.-New YORK Times.

Western Crop Prospects.

CHICAGO. May 27.-The following
will appear in this weeks issue Of
the Farmers ReUiea0:
From the information furnished by
our crop correspondents relative tC
the condition of wheat. oats and bar
ley. it would appear that the pr0s
poets tor grain crops are. on the whole
very favorable in all the territory
covered by our report, except in
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, where
drouth still continues. The cOndi-
ton of winter wheat has changed but
little since our last report. the aver.
age percentages being slightly lower
in Illinois. Indiana. Kentucky aud
Kansas, and a trif1e higher in Ohio,
Missouri and Wisconsin. The con-
dition of spring wheat is unchanged
in Minnesota and Dakota. Nebraska
reports show some improvement,
and those from Iowa slight falling
off. Dat prospects are good in Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan,
Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa and Wis
consin. particularly in the two States
last named. Reports from Indiana,
Illinois. Ohio and Kentucky are not
so favorable, doubtless owing to the
drouth. The barley growing sections
report the condition of that grain
nearly average in all the States ex-
cept Dakota. where it falls consider.
ably below 100 per cent. The usual
acreage has been soWn to corn in Hi
nois and Kansas, but an increase is
notable iu other States, particularly
in Nebraska, Minnesota and Dakota.
