on Main street IN st Joseph, Mo-,
they discovered human head stuck
on an iron picket in front of the
place. The head had been freshly
cut off. At first it was supposed that
a murder had been committed. The
head was identified as that of John
Han, a well known German. He died
of paralysis at the Northwestern
hospital college. Saturday night
medical students broke into the
hospital, cut off the head, carried it
to the brawdy house and afterwards
placed it on the fence.

Irrigation in China.

The Irrigation Age: In Ningpo,
Fo-Kien and Shanghai the modes of
irrigation are generally from small
bitches taken from streams or large
canals. At Ningpo the bitches are
mainly supplied from underground
waters, supplied from springs that
come to the surface in the hills and
valleys. The river water is brackish
and is never used for irrigation. Sup
ply canals are genera ly from two to
three miles in length and fill the
shallow laterals, which are dug at
right angles from 200 to 300 feet apart
and from 10 to 80 feet wide. In the
province of FO-Kien the rainfall is
quite heavy, but irrigation has be-
come an additional security against
drouth. There are no storage dams,
though the country is well adapted
to their construction.
According to the latest idea of his
torical students the Chinese derive
their methods of irrigation from AS
syria and Babylon. There is an eX-
tension of knowledge and interest
manifested by the Chinese in the
study of irrigation. Water is lifted
from main channels, where the tides
do not rise sufficiently for irrigation,
by rude machinery. This consists Of
a main cog wheel, worked by oxen,
which turns roller at the upper end
of the trough; at the lower end of
which, immersed in the canal, there
is another roller, and over these an
endless series of wooden boxes revolve.
The boxes or boards fitting the trough
elevate the water and pour it into
the fields, over which it is distributed
by open drains. The whole machine
is readily moved from place to place
and the trough can be arranged at
any angle to suit the inclination of
the bank. The chain or rope-pump
process has already been described
in The Age. 1t is operated by either
man or animal power. This is the
oldest method but is destined to
gradually be supplanted by modern
appliances, of which the most ad-
vanced natives are securing informa-

Hayes had some distinguished men
in his cabinet during his tetm of the
presidency and was not jealous of
them. Among them were William
M. Eyarts, secretary of state; Carl
Schurz, secretary of the interior, and
John Sherman, secretary OF the
treasury. Carl SchurZ supports Mr..
Cleveland now, but he was stanch
Republican in 1876. John Sherman
distinguished himself by the return
to specie payments throughout the
country Jan. /, 1879. Six months
before that date he had accumu-
lated in the United States treasury
$40, 900, 600 in the expectation that
there would be a demand for it in
exchange for legal tender notes. But
there was little or no demand, and
thus, quietly, without shock or
disturbance, United States money
passed from paper to specie
basis.

g. Gresham, of Chicago, is to be
secretary of state in the Cleveland
administration.
The friends of Col. VIM. r..
Morrison have decided authoritive
information that he will not be a
member of the cabinet. They have
also been informed that what killed
Col. Morrison was protest against
him from Gov. Altgeld.
VIM. V. Allen, Populist, was
elected United States senator on
joint ballot of the Nebraska legis-
lature, receiving seventy votes to
Paddock's tifty-seven. All the indie
pendents and democrats voted for
him. His election was then made
unanimous.

There is one more church-goer at
Orange, n. Y, than there was and it
is all owing to an athletic rector.
The latter had been urging the man
to attend service and was somewhat
astonished at his parishioner's prop
osition that they should settle the
question of his going to church or
staying away by about with the
gloves at the Orange Athletic club.
The rector accepted the challenge
and gave his parishioner handsome
and effectual drubbing. On the next
Sunday the rector on his way to
church called for his late antagonist
and the latter faithfully kept his
work.

Robert j. Burdette says: Remem-
Der my boy, the good things in the
world are always the cheapest.
Spring water costs less than whiskey,
box of cigars will buy two or three
Bibles: a state conviction will cost
more than a revival of religion; you
can sleep in church every Sabbath
morning, but nap in Pullman
cost you two dollars every time; the
circus takes fifty cents and the theater
one dollar but the missionary box is
grateful for even penny: the race
scoops in $4,000 the first day while
the church bazaar lasts week, works
twenty-five or thirty Of the best
woman of America to death, and
come out $40 in debt.

There are some yet living who can
recall the thrilling Shakespearean
recitations of Fanny Kemble, and
these perhaps will be surprised that
she died only lately, so completely
had she dropped out of notice in her
last days. She was a month older
than Gladstone. Since Mrs. Siddons
no woman has possessed her dramatic
greatness. She not only had the
power of expression, but had master
full intellectually of her own. More
than sixty years ago she began her
stage career in London and won fame
and success. at bouud. For her
there was no grievous toiling by slow
steps up the hill. She occupies a
place in American social and
dramatic history because she lived
long among us and because of her
South Carolina husband, Colonel
Pierce Butler, whose home on the
plantation she left because she could
not tolerate slavery. After abandon
ing the regular life Of the actress
she continued giving Shakespearean
recitations till she was sixty years
old; then she followed authorship
Her last book was published so late
as 1882. This gifted woman had
extraordinary grace Of figure and
carriage, which she said was largely
owing to the fact that in her girl
hood her mother had required her to
be drilled in military exercises by the
regular drill master of one of the
regiments stationed in her native
town in England.

Pierre Capital: South Dakota is
indeed mineral state. In intelli-
gence she is second to none. In her
natural products she is astonishing
the world. Our annual cattle crop
S., 100000; wheat crop of $4,000, 900
bushels and our gold annual output
of S., 100000 are few of the remark
able enterprises of this state. Add
to this our fax, barley, rye, horses,
hogs, corn, wool, and sheep and you
have some idea of the resources of
this state. We employ $4,000 miners
and will soon supply the United
