The Duke of Marlborough.

The Duke of Marlborough died last week Of
calcareOus degeneration of large vessel of the
heart The Chronicle in it's obituary article
says: He was by habit breaker of moral
law, by desire a founder of economic laws. He
was a man of whose ancestor it was said he
proved false to every woman and every cause
that be was connected with. But the late Duke
was not connected with any causes. Nothing,
however, but good of the dead is the more OK
less hypocriical fashion of the day"
The Duchess of Marlborough can justly lay
claim to being the most beautiful of the Ameri-
can women who have exchanged their money
for worthless titles. The Duchess of MarI-
borough was the rich and handsome Mrs.
Hamersey, and before that she was Miss Lily
Price, girl of many accomplishments, and
exquisite in beauty.
The Dukes son and successor is not yet y
years old. In the event of his death Lord
Randolph Churchill steps in. and Lady Church.
i'll, who was Miss Jerome. of New York, becomes
the Duchess of Marlborough. Thus the title
which has been held till now by an American
may succeed to another American.

daughter of the late Leonard w. Jerome, mar

was poor man. In answer TO The proceedings
brought by a creditor OF the estate to compel an

left no real or personal estate, save few per

Capt VIM. A. Andrews has safely made the
trip across the broad Atlantic in his little boat

and depth of less than three feet. The boat
is made of haf-inch cedar. and the whole is
covered with canvas drawn as tight as drum

back. There is an opening in it about two by
three feet, in which there is hardly room for
one person to sit comfortably. Under the deck
are compartments for provisions. The mast
rises eight feet above the deck aud the boom is
13 feet long. The amount of sal. carried is less
than 10 square yards. The Captains main diet
during the trip was oyster crackers and water.
He carried 40 pounds of the crackers and 30
gallons of water. He had canned goods and
baked beans, condensed milk, whisky and to-
bacco.

The Frisco and Salt Lake.

San Francisco Bulletin.
1t is semi.officially said that the
subscription list for shares in the San
francisco and Great Salt Lake Rail
way will probably be opened next
week. No further facts are given out
in reference to the list yet. 1t is how
ever, we'll known that the committee
in charge of the enterprise continues
to add to Its mem bership aud all the
new members are su bscribing to the
stock. There will probably be fifty
members OF the committee who have
hown their faith in the enterprise by
large subscrip ions before the public
is invited to take action TO help
build the road. Those who have inter.
ested themselves In the work from
the first seem more and more SAN
guiue. Mr.. Kennedy, the engineer
who has the field work in charge,
was in the city yesterday and called
on several of the railroad projectors
and advisers. An attempt was mad Q
to interview Mr.. Kennedy, but the
engineer refused to talk about the
lines run, or, in fact. about the field
work in any way. The same care is
manifested by all who are concerned
in the road building project. This is
why so little definite information
appears in the daily press concerning
progress. When the su descriptions
are opened the capitalists Of the
interior, as well as those OF this city,
will have q chance to take part in the
enterprise. Already certain persons
of considerable wealth have ex-
pressed y desire to take hold. One
person said that he would lake $780,
900 worth of stock because he thought
that road OF the sort projected
would increase the value of his land
holdings at least 500, 900.

The Cost of Cholera.

From the Cincinnati TimeS-Star.
In the current North American Re-
view DR.. Eggleston shows that III
three months of 1888 cholera cost
Egypt from 10000 to $4,000 lives;
France in lSS4-S6, not less than 15,-
000;in 1854 So, Spain $50 900; in 1884 81,
Italy, about SOC, 600; or in all Europe
in the years named, not less than
$50, 600 lives and not less than $780,
O00, 900 in money A report to the de-
partment OF State from the United
States Consul at Marseilles is to the
effect that cholera found its way into
Europe in 1883 through that city and
was imported directly from Egypt,
and that its presence was carefully
concealed until 1854. when the terri
BILE outbreak in Toulon made further
concealment impossible. The author
titles of France are now engaged in an
effort to conceal it's presence by call I.
ing Ii another name. 1t is contended
that the disease was brought to New
York in the fall of 1857 on French
steamer from Marseilles, but that

ven ted it's spreading.
The home of cholera Is in India.
Mr. Eggleston says:
SIT never originated anywhere else.
It never came to America until Eu-
r ,pe had been infected. 1t is spread
by pilgrims who travel to the holy
cities -Hurdwar, at the base of the
Himalaysis; Meschid, in Persia, west
Of Herat, and Mecca. These three
places, receiving hundreds of filthy
pilgrims become, SO to speak, three

Saving Seed Corn.

Lee Rood in the Practical Farmer.
The amount of corn that the farmer
raises depends very much on the kind
of seed W Mich be plants and the con-
dition of that seed when 1t is planted.
sow tares and you may expect to reap
tares; plant small corn, gather small
ears; plant bad seed corn, and you
have no stand; consequently short
crop.
It is very easy matter and but
very little trouble tor the farmer to
have tirst.class seed corn, so when he
plants he may expect a good stand.
To obtain the Oest seed corn, go
through your corn field ia the tall,
lust when the ears are beginning to
harden, and pull off the largest and
earliest ears. A two bushel sack or q
basse will do to carry the ears to the
wagon. Now take this corn to the
barn, husk ii, and take the Irvine
that is around the sheaves of wheat
or oats, and tie two ears together, one
at each end of the string. When l
am feeding my oats in the sheaf l
always save enough of these strings
to tie my corn as described.
Hang the corn in the kitchen to
dry. Hang two ears over o joist,
which you can put up temporarily,
and let the corn dry out thorough,
After it is dry, you can then shell it
and place In the barn where it will
not get damp, and where the rats aud
mice can not destroy it. Large ears
of seed corn are an ornament to any
farm kitchen.
wish few of those farmers who
always have hard time to get n
stand of corn In thu spring, could look
into our kitchen in the tall, and see
those rows of ears of Early MastodoD
corn, for the next spring planting.
My wife takes as much delight in
showing the corn as 1 do. In fact
large ears of seed corn, especially the
sstodon, nicely dried out, are q
sight of which no farmer need be
ashamed. Try this plan once. and see
what splendid success you will have
in getting your corn to come up.
Do we not bury our seed potatoes in
a careful manner to keep them from
freezing? Do we not keep our seed
wheat and oats dry? Then, why do
you dig around in the crib, or in some
pen o, corn exposed 10 the winter
storms, for your next years seed,
when you can have seed that can be
relied upon? 1t is best to plant a
small field well MANFRED, from which
to gather your seed corn. The farmer
needs to plant his corn early so it will
be matured before the dry weather Of
August comes.
