MUMMY WHEAT.

A story comes from Colorado of
the growing Of mummy wheat with
astonishing results. The seed was
sent by gentleman in Europe to
brother in Colorado. 1t was secured
from an Egyptian grave and is sup
posed to have been buried thousands
of years ago with one of the servants
of the Pharaohs. The grains were
planted and grew. The crop was
carefully saved, and larger one was
grown the next year. The product
of the second crop was sown this
year on three acres of land and has
made yield of 100 bushels to the
acre. Instead of single head, as
many as dozen spring from each
stalk. The grain is plump and prom
ises to be as good for the purpose of
making -four as any other.
This story comes very straight. If
it is correct it clearly points to So
luton of the problem of food supply
for future generations which has been
bothering the philosophers. When
wheat land can be made to yield four
times as much grain as has been GUS
tomary, the needs of the race will be
provided for long time to come. If
Egypt shall come to the rescue of
mankind, giving to the world from
its sepulchers species of wheat
which is SO prolific as to quadruple
the crops of our nineteenth century
farmers, the burial habits of those
people who populated the banks of
the Nile will take place in the pub
lie mind as part OF divine plan in
which centuries count only as days
and which reaches through the gen.
erations of five thousand years to ac-
comphsb its purpose.-Salt Lake

Democratic Robbery.

The Philadelphia Press, in discuss
ing Republican prospects III the
South, says:
"The Republicans of Florida have
accepted the inevitable, and have
concluded to make no nominations.
The Republicans in Mississippi and
in some other States will follow the
same course. In the face of the leg
islation in those States an effort to
carry any of them for the Republicans
would be entirely useless. In South
Carolina the infamous eight ballot
box law, in addition to the control of
all the election officers, enabled the
Democrats to have their own way.
To make assurance doubly sure, Flor
ida passed similar laws. But before
that was done Pensacola, Jackson
vile, and other cities were robbed of
self-government. The governor
was given power to name commissions
to govern these cities, and also to APP
point election officers. Under such
circumstances 1t would be useless for
Republicans to expect to have their
votes counted"

At seGREGoH MoUNTAIN.

Mt. McGREcoa, N. Y, Aug. 90
On arrival of the Presidential party
this afternoon the President proceed
ed to the cottage OF w. J. Arkell.
In honor Of the President, Arkell had
arranged for a pleasant birthday
dinner at the Hotel Barmoral.
About 100 guests participated, IN
Guiding Commander-in-Chief Palmer,
Of the q. A. r., Spencer Trask and
John A. Sleicher. Shortly before 5
o'clock Mr.. Arkell arose and said the
President, on account OF his worn
lungs and throat, is solicitous that
this be Quaker meeting, one OF I'M
spoken eloquence. Let me say,
however, that this being the 58th
birthday OF the President. we can
properly extend to him our heartiest
and most sincere wishes. His ad-
ministration will be known in the
hereafter not SO much as Republican
administration as an American ad-
ministration. Cheers.
President Harrison, in replying,
SAID: alt is part Of the covenant
that this feast should be silent one,
not exactly Quaker meeting, as Mr..
Arkell has said, because silence that
is apt to be broken by a moving OF
the spirit, IS not safe for banquet.
Laughter.
We are gathered here on spot
that is historic. This mountain has
been fixed in the affection and rev.
erence of the memory of all our peo-
pie, and has been glorifed by the
death on its summit of General
Ulysses S. Grant. Applause.
It is fit that tho great spirit that
had already lifted its fame to height
unknown in American history, should
take its fight from this mountain top.
It has been said that great life
went out here, but lives like that Of
General Grant do not 60 out. They
90 on. Cries Of good, and great ap-
plause.
| will ask you in reverence and
affectionate and patriotic remem-
brance OF that man who came to re.
cover all failures in military advance
ment, and with his great generalship
and inaexible purpose, to carry the
flag Of the republic to ultimate tri-
umph, recalling with reverent interest
his memory, to drink a toast in ST.
lencc as pledge that we will ever
keep in mind bis great services, and
in SO doing perpetuate his great citi-
zenship and glory of the nation he
fought to save"
This evening literary and musical
entertainment was given the Presi
dent ut the Hotel Belmont.

A California Judge Makes a sensa-
tion in Court.

Derrick poid In San Francisco Examiner.
One of the peculiar brand Of judges
peculiar to this peculiar community
invested in ready-made outing coat
on his way down to court the other
morning. AS the day was excessively
warm, his honor concluded to slip
on the garment just as it was taken
from the window, and, unmlndful
that a placard was still attached to
its tail, proceeded calmy or his way.
"Glad you don't make any bones
about saying SOL remarked a friend,
slapping him on the shoulder at the
next corner. There's nothing like
coming out Aat-footed and above
board"
"What the blazes do you mean?"
asked the court, but his friend work
ed off an INDISPENSABLE wink and
passed on.
"That's right" warmly CALCULATED
a police court lawyer as the jurist
reached the city hall. "Nothing like
getting down to bedrock rates these
hard times. See you later"
81 always thought that man was
crazy" unused his honor, as he enter
ed the court room, whore he observ-
ed that his advent created marked
sensation indeed. One of the regu-
lar practitioners grasped his hand ex-
citedly ana whispered: "That's the
way to do business, Judge. Now,
how about this Glucky VS.. McCorken
caseP Would $75 strike you as
about right?"
"Is everybody insane--or-or is
this some dreadful dream?" gasped
the bewildered dispenser of justice,
"Have L"
Just then the placard became de-
taohed and fell to the floor. Even
the ragged vagrant in the dock smiled
hopefully as the Judge picked it up
and read:

Hard on Engiish Manufacturers.

The st. James Gazette has the fol-
lowing:
Judging by the returns issued by
the board of trade 1t looks as though
we had already reached the end of
the good times. The great decline
in the exports from Great Britain is
undoubtedly due to the operation of
the Mckinley law in the United
States. We have been told that the
act would eventually prove a misfort-
une to the United States, but its i'm
mediate object was to hit foreign
manufacturers, especially those of
Great Britain, and it is plainly evil
dent that this object has been at
tanned.

The latest in the way of a
Farmers Alliance commercial organ
ization are shipping associations.
They form part of the Alliance
plan for managing the wheat sales
without the use of agents, and the
charters of three organizations have
been filed with the Secretary of State
OF Kansas. Congressman Baker
quotes Mr.. Pillsbury as saying that
there is no reason why the farmers
should not, under normal conditions,
be now receiving sl.25 bushel for
wheat at the farms. Commenting on
this the Alliance Advocate says the
farmers are masters of the situation,
il they hold the grain six months.

PUNCH" HAaINs' SLAYER.

He is Sesn in ths City and an Unsuc-
cessfol Effort to Capture sim.
Isaac Simons tcoloredi, the murderer oE
punch" Hagins, was seen lettering, night
before last, around the house where he COM
mitted the crime. Several colored mon
tried to capture him, but be ran down West
Boundary street and escaped through the
high coffee weeds at the foot of Jones street.
One Of the pursueIs fired twice at Simons
and the murderer staggered as if he had
bsen hit and dropped down among the
weeds, but when the men reached the place
where they expected to find the murderer
lying wounded no trace of him was to be
seen except the broken weeds He evidently
crawled out of the weeds and escaped up
into the city while his pursuets had taeir
eyes upon the spot where he fell.
