1t is the popular opinion that the skull
of a negro is thick enough to withstand
violent treatment. JOIN Harris shared in
this view of the matter, and as a result has
gone to prison for seven years. He was the
colored ianitor Of a fiat building in New
York. He and his son quarreled in the
basement Of the fats, and Harris struck
his son upon the head with a bit OF board
not more than two feet long. The autopsy
bowed that young Harris skull was alb
normally thin, consequently the fathers
blow, which would nave done no serious
injury to a person with a normal skull,

ENRiCHING THE FARMER.
This Year He VIII Get $3.50, O,OOO, 900 Nor.
for Grain Than Last Year.

This Year He VIII Get $45O,OOO,O 900 More
for Grain Than Last Year.
New YORK, Aug. 16.-The American Agri-
culturist, in its annual review of haryests to
be published in the September issue, esti-
mates that the farm profits this year will be
billion dollars more than during the re-
cent years of depression. On the basis of
present prospects the corn crop of 1891 is
estimated to be 1900, 100000 bushels, wheat
100000 600 bushels. oats 622,OO 600 bushels.
The total yield of wheat, corn and oats will
be 2S.8 per cent greater than last year and
147 per cent above the average of the pre-
ceding eleven years. On this basis the
value of the corn crop to the farm
era will be billion dollars. wheat half
billion and oats quarter of q
billion. This is $3.50, ,OOO, 600 more than the
value of these crops in 1890 and $625 5000, 600
more than the average valae of these crops
from 1880 to 1890 inclusive. Cotton and rice
will command better prices than last sea-
son. Cattle is worth one third more than
eighteen months ago. with other live stock
in proportion. Tobacco is advancing hea-
Willy. Hops are firm at good prices. Win
ter trust will command large values and all
vegetables are yielding fairly with every
indication of remunerative market. The
export outlook was never better. Immense
ly increased sums will be sent to the United
States for produce. OF course ulterior in
huences may interfere with these brilliant
predictions. but it is almost certain farmers
will receive better profits on their crops
than ever before.

PARIS, Aug. 16.-The Paris Eclair, which
is not given to sensationalism. prints the
ollowing as confirmed by unquestionable
authority:
On the night following the departure Of
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern from En-
gland, tho crew was beaten to quarters and
were surprised to find the quarter deck
brilliantly illuminated. An altar had been
erected on the deck, bearing the
old and new testaments, and the
Kaiser stood by wearing white chauble,
with crosier in his hand and black and
white mitre on his head. He read the most
war-like passages from the testaments and
invited the crew to respond. He then
preached a long sermon on the duty of sov-
ereigns to the people. The whose service
lasted from II p. m. to two a. m. The crew
were then piped below. At five a. m. the
kaiser appeared on the bridge in the uni
form of a high admiral, looking extremely
haggard, and addressing the commander
said: "Sir, retire to your cabin; 1 shall
take charge.'' The commander replied:
''Sire, permit me to observe we are in a
dangerous passage and it is advisable for
your majesty's safety, as we'll as that of the
crew, that a sailor remain in command"
The emperor responded: "Never mind.
God will inspire me-" The commander
bowed and retired. The second officer re-
manning. the emperor angrily bade him re-
tire. The officer respectfully protesting
the emperor said: "You resist, wretched
creature! You trouble the spirit of God
which is in me. This is the vengeance of
God upon you." dealing the officer a
heavy blow upon the cheek. The
officer turned crimson but remained
until the emperor seized him by
the throat and tried to throw him
overheard. In the struggle that followed
the emperor fell and broke his knee cap.
The emperor howled with pain; his eyes
started from their sockets; he foamed at
the mouth; he swore terribly and displayed
symptoms of madness. The officers, after
consultation, carried him into the cabin,
nobody being admitted except the doctor.

strain him until the leg was bandaged and
a straight jacket put on him. The crisis

Il. w. Frayser Thursday last. He is DR..
James Edwin Clemmens, a young physi-
clan, and has been partially identified by
those who saw the robber. He gives no
satisfactory account of his whereabouts on
the day of the robbery and his statements
of his actions that day are entirely at vari-
ance with the positive testimony of others
on the subject. He formerly wore full
brown beard. People who knew him saw
him Thursday evening between seven and
eight and tho whiskers were black. Later
the same evening he had the beard cut en-
tirely off, wearing only small mustache.
He is man in financial straits and has
been in hiding for two weeks, pretending to
be out of town. although he was known to
be in Memphis. If Col. Frayser's identih-
cation of him Is strong as that Of the 9TH

ST. PAUL, Aug. 16.-State Park Commits

lake basin which contains some hitherto
unpublished facts in regard to the source of

The report shows conclusively that the true
source of the Mississippi river is in great
reservoir nine miles above Lake Itasca,
making the longest surface channel of the
Mississippi river from the gulf of Mexico to
the extreme limit of this reservoir 2555.25

week. 1t had been generally expected that
the oeded portion of the Crow Indian reser-

should be added to Yellowstone county.
would be proclaimed opened by the presi-
dent before this time, but the people have
been disappointed. This would have added
81, 100000 to the assessable property. How
ever, the total assessment figures up to
$3.823, 14O, an increase over last year of
ST, 153OSs, pretty fair showing after all.
The tax rate will be seventeen mills on the
dollar, a reduction of four mills, and the
lowest in the history of the county.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Owing to the depres-

of the principal iron works in the Cumber-
land district have been suspended for some
time past, and the inability of workmen to
procure employment is causing the most
acute distress. Six Thousand were thrown
out of employment and large number of
them have earned nothing for year. The
outlook for the coming winter is gloomy.
Hundreds of families are on the verge of
starvation. So serious has the situation
become that the authorities have decided
to start public works to give employment
to the many idle men in the district and
thus avert the famine now threatened.
