Favorable reports of the corn crop in The
west are beginning to come in, but they
will probably not materially affect the gen
eral outlook in the cereal market as es-
timated in the MORNING NEWS recently.
According to an authority twelve of the
principal western states will average very
nearly as follows: Illinois. 224, CPS, 712; In
diana, 1O5, 03S 1872; Ohio, 92,229, 12S; Ken
lucky, 56,92O,446; Missouri, 1874, 5sS, 612;
Kansas, 9s, ,05s; Wisconsin, Al, 4s7, 800;
Michigan. al, 81; Iowa, 26s, Asa, $50;
Nebraska, "a ASA, 666; Minnesota. %, 3S2, O12;
Dakota, 1882, OLA total Of / ,229. SSS 374
Deducting from the above gross product the
large percentage of understandable corn,
the estimate of the total marketable corn in
the twelve states named is S25, 1886, 253
bushels. According to the October report
OF the department. of agriculture, the con-
dition of the corn crop in the remaining
states not covered by this report is about IS
per cent Of an average.

down off its perch and very meekly apollo

against some of the trickiest and most cor

trying to hold not only their own. but
everybody else's that they can get hold on.

Kentucky turns loose upon the world q
great many wonders. Among them it fur
nishes the most novel legal case of self
defense on record. A man named Oder,
living in Harrison county, claimed Co have
heard that one Lewis, living in Cynthiana,
had threatened to kill him. Oder resided
twenty-five miles in the country. He vert
to the field. saddled horse, and, taking a
shotgun, rode to Cynthiana to defend him
self against the bood-thirsty Lewis 1t
happened that Lewis was out of town, but
in order that he might properly defend him
self from being murdered, Oder waited
three days for the return of his enemy
When he heard that he was in town, Oder
hid behind house and as Lewis passed he
blazed away with his gun, killing Instantly
the man who had threatened his life. On
the trial it was shown that Lewis was read
ing postal card. 1t was shot all to pieces,
but the prisoners attorney claimed that it
contained a complete description of
how Lewis would kill Oder. In the
dead mans pocket was found a small paper
containing a white powder. This was not
analysed, but the theory of the defense was
that 1t was probably arsenic, which Lewis
intended to force down Oder's throat when
he met HIM BY all this damaging test
mony against the dead man and his un-
| doubted purpose to annihilate Oder when he
saw him, the jury was greatly troubled,
and they failed to agree. Whether that
jury had spiritual guide TO show the
members the way home is not stated. But
if they had found match on the deceased

Editor Burnand of the London Punch is
said to be at present decidedly the maddest
man on earth. Last week play Of his was
to have been produced in London theater,
but was for some reason delayed. Never
theless lengthy criticism duly appeared in
a London journal abusing it up mill and
down dale just as if it had appeared to
empty benches. Doubtless that was pre-
mature discharge of weapon that one of
Mr.. Burnand's journalistic friends has had
loaded and held in reserve for him some
time.

Copeland hotel, when he was approached by a

Quite likely" responded the senator, my

The Peculiar Figure Nine.

Did you ever notice the popularity in
the figure 8? When an error his arisen
from any transpositlon of figures, the
difference between such transposed num-
beers is universally a multiple of the
numeral 8. For an instance: Suppose an
error occurs in bringing out trial bal
auce or cash settlement, or Tia 1t the sum
short can be divided by 8 without any
remainder. If it has occurred in this
was there is a strong probability that the
mistake has been made by transporting
figures; at any rate, if such mistake
takes place by reason of transportation.
The sum i'll question will always divide
by without remainder. To illustrate
this: Il 81 has been put down as 70, the
error would be IS, or tw ice 9, exactly; If
322 be set down as 223 the error will be
80; or 11x9, and SO between any trarspos
ed numbers Try it and prove it.
