faction that the leather-coated marshal ex-
patiates upon so glibly. Perhaps the men
who left Massllon with the outfit were &C
quainted with the objects of the ridiculous
crusade, and, to certain extent, under
stood what CoXey meant by his bills. but
the present commonweaI does not contain a
bakers dozen of the original Ohio army.

who left Massillon have either procured
work along the route or have become dis
gusted with the side show character into
which the affair degenerated by reason of
Browne and his panorama pyrotechnics.
The commonweal as 1t is now constituted,
will not hold together long. There are too
many nomads in its ranks to assure CO.
hesion for any length of time. and every day
the chronic wanderers grow weary of
steady loafing in one place, and bundle up
their meager belongings and sneak away.
The utterly lazy will remain until the last
dinner horn blows. There are two or three
scores of these individuals, who exist only
for the purpose of eating and sleeping and
sitting STILL
Nothing of interest occurred to mar the
dull monotony of camp life today, and only
cover what an utterly undressing plane
aggregated humanity can reach and settle
upon. Browne issued his customary order
ending up with an announcement that every
commonwealth should attend tonight's
meeting. as he had something important to
tell them. He has also promulgated a set
of rules for the government of the men, in
which he directs that no one shall leave
camp without a pass; that the gates shall
be closed at IL y. m, and that members
who violate these orders or who indulge in
drunkenness, fighting or begging shall be
expelled from the camp.

Quiet prevailed in the villages last even

afternoon and engaged quarters at the
hotel. Marshal Browne received several
new recruits. A little after s o'clock ,ast
night the marshal mounted the panorama
which was chiefly composed of cclored peo-
pie. He spoke about the citizens OF Hyatts-
vile being unnecessarily alarmed on last
Saturday night. and alluded to those who
had denied the general and himself the
right of free speech as a small political
clique who did not represent the sentiments
of the people of Hyattsville. He said that

Corn In Europe.

Charles j. Murphy, better known as
Corn bread" Murphy, who as special
| agent OF the department of agriculture,
has for some time past been laboring
to teach the Belgians what is good. His
efforts are, of course, not wholly ply
lanthropic; they are, in fact, chiefly
prompted by a desire to enlarge the
market for American maize, and incl
dentally for as many other products of
the United States as he can. He is not
only trying to get the Belgians to eat
corn bread, but use it for the purpose
of manufacturing gin and beer. We
understand that having effected the
partial conversion of Belgium, after
several months labor, to the idea of
eating maize meal in various forms, he
will let the leaven work there and de-
vote his time to missionary work on
behalf of the corn plant in Holland.-

Belgium, not larger than Maryland

chiefly by agriculture. A three-cor
nered piece of land containing about
two acres, and hemmed by bitches
filled with water, is the size and situa-
tion of d typical Belgium farm. AS
small as it is, it will contain patch OF
wheat or rye, and another of barley,
another fair proportion of it grows
potatoes. A row of cabbage grows
all around on the sloping sides of the
ditch, with row of onions just in
side, leaving bare walking room be-
tween them and the grain. The rest
of the tillable soil is planted with a
great variety of vegeta bles either for
