WEATHER REPORT.

The first three days of the past week
were characterized by excessive heat,
the last four by temperature more
nearly normal. The precipitation has
been pretty generally above the average.
A heavy thunder. shower, on the
morning of the 18th, passed from west
to east over New England, and covered
nearly the whole area. The heavy rain

siderable injury to all crops.
The corn crop is still reported good in
all sections. Berries are plenty, but the
season nearly over Apples are fair in
the northern sections, but much below
the average in the south. Many fields
of grain still uncut in Northern New

received serious injury from the recent
heavy storms, badly lodging them and

General sheridan lntetORated by an
Irishman-The Result.
Ha ing beeen in Great Britain for five
or six months investigating the con-
dition of workingmen under free trade
as compared with the prosperity of
American workingmen, General Sheri-
dan is the first we'll equipped Republican
campaigner to take the field this year.
He has been speaking steadily for two
weeks to meetings in and around New
York city. At FoTdham on recent
night, he had spoken for the usual
length of time, and was preparing to
close his remarks, when big man in
the rear of the hall whose brogue pro.
claimed his Irish birth, cried out denial
of statement that the workingmen of
England got lower wages and lived poor
er than Americans. There was a
general demand that the man should be
put out, but the General said he pre-
ferred to close his speech by letting the
man explain himself. This colloquy
took place:
"You say, SIR" said the General,
that am not telling the truth about
the difference in conditions between
British and American workingmen?
What is your trade and what wages do
you SeG9
I'm a carpenter, and l get $3.50 a
day."
"Did you ever get such wages in
Ireland, or live as we'll there as you do
here?n
"That was not phwa- yea wuz talkin
about. Yez sed British workin' men,"
"Well, isn't Ireland part of Great
Britain? Now, answer faiFly-did you
ever get $3.50, or half Of it. day in
Ireland working as a carpenter?'
'iNo, nivir did. Phwat wud be
here for, if did?"
There was sound of laughter in the
hall that shook the roof as the General
said: "Thank you. Ladies and gentle
men. will let this practical illustration
of what have been telling you close my
speech"

Nancy Hanks Queen,

Nancy Hanks Wednesday at Chicago,
lowered the worlds trotting record
2.0Sa, made by Maud S.-tO 2:074.
The trial was at Washington park in
the presence of 10000 spectators. Budd
Doble drove the mare. The track was
trife dusty in places, but as fast as it
well could be. The mare was in excel
lent condition. Nancy was without boots
or trappings of any sort and was hitched
to a sull1y with ball bearings and pneu-
matte tires. Frank Starr drove the
peacemaker Abe Lincoln. The official
time for the mile, which was as honest a
mile as was ever trOtted, is: 1871, :038,
1854, 2:074.
The last quarter was trotted in 300
seconds. The exhibition was given for a
certain sum to be paid by the Northwes-
tern Breeders association. An addition
al sum was to be paid if the record was
beaten. Doble said his mare finished
fresh and strong. He did not touch her
once with the whip. He believed that
she will yet beat her present record.
She weighed to-day $40 pounds and
pulled Doble, who weighed $50 pounds,
and sulky Weighing 62i pounds.

A number of people from this vicinity

proved very comfortable, however, there
was no rain, except a slight shower
during the day. If all those who go on
excursions, would drink only mineral
water, and leave firewater severely alone
the result would be much more agreeable
and creditable. We are glad to note that

Paper . Hundred Years Hence.

Experts are predicting hat the books
of today will fall to pieces before the
middle Of the next century. The paper
in the books that have survived two or
three centuries was made by hand of
honest rags and without the aid of
strong chemicals, while the ink was
made of nutgalls. Today much of the
paper for books is made, at least in part,
of wood pulp treated with powerful
acids, while the ink is a compound of
various substances naturally at war
with the flimsy paper upon which it is
laid. The printing of two centuries ago
has improved with age; that Of today, it

Peterson's Magazine for September
Is a star number from beginning to end.
1t is beautifully and copiously illustrated
and the literary portion canno be too
highly praised. Miss Calline," by
Robert c. V. Meyers, is a story that would
make a reputation for this rapidly rising
young author. MIR. ~Englehardt's Ne
phew,' by William Bilbo, and a Sum-
mer Fallow," by Lois Pease, are a couple
of tales as unlike as they are good. I'm
der the Rose" by Miss Kent, is the first
instalment of a novelet which promises
to be admirable. The Court of Monte
negro "Home Decoration" a Sea
Change" and Meath Orchard Boughs,"
are all illustrated in a way which makes
the different stories, articles and poems
very attractive, and each and all deserve
high praise. The fashion and household
departments are thoroughly practical;
for these Peterson has always been no.
ticeable. In its literary features the ma
gazine has during the past few years been
Forging ahead" rapidly. 1t ranks among
its contributors numbers of the best and
most popular authors of the day. 1t is
evident that the literary and artistic ele-
ment is becoming more and more impor-
tant in the publishers eyes. We predict
that it will not be long before Peterson
will develop into a purely literary pc.
riodical, and it will be certain to prove a
first class one. Terms, 50 a year; 81 for
