 It was fully five years later that 8 private easel think it was divorce took me out to Sydney.
 From Sydney to Melbourne is con- siderable distance, but Australians do not consider it too long a journey to travel to see the great sporting event of the year-the running of the Melbourne cup. And so when @ party of friends with whom I was seeing the sights of beautiful Sydney invited me to join them in an excursion to Melbourne for cup day I enthusiastically accepted their invitation.
 have travelled great deal and wit messed all the great races of the world, from our own Suburban in New York and the Derby in Chicago to the Grand Prix at Paris and the English Derby at Epsom Downs. But must declare that the concourse of people ill Melbourne on that cup. day exceeded in greatness, rich ness and bonhommie any had ever be- held. The women were resplendent in fine costumes, for in Melbourne even the servant girls save from cup to cup for new gowns and from the clubhouse and grandstand out to the free field be- yond, which rises in a hillock back of the clubhouse, all was ablaze with life and beauty.
 The course, which is short cropped green sward, firm and thick, wound round the center field where gathered the common pleasure seekers; while in- to the coffers of the fakirs, the wheel of fortune men and the cup souvenir stands there flowed constant stream of silver.
 But the most attractive scene of all to my eyes was the front row of boxes on the grandstand. These were filled with all the beauty of Melbourne, while aloft sat the several governors of the Australian colonies and parties of off cials and their ladies.
 In the boxes were not only all the aristocrats of Melbourne, but wealthy visitors from all the cities from Queens land to Tasmania and from South Aus tralia to New Zealand.
 My friends were we'll acquainted in Melbourne, and as we passed along the grandstand they were kept busy bow ing here and there to assemblages of elegantly dressed people whom they knew. As l was presented to everybody I had no cause to complain of loneliness Everybody greeted me with effusion as visitor from America who had hon. ored the race by coming many thousand miles to see it. And to them was wealthy traveller drawn hither by this great gala occasion.
 As we passed on from one party to another my attention was attracted to couple in box The man looked quite familiar from distance, and could have sworn, too, that I had seen the i woman before.
 "Who are those people?" I asked of pny friend
 "Oh," said he, "you have happened 1pon couple of your own countryfolk

It happens, curiously enough, that while in China women do most of the work in the silk factories, men are great buyers and consumers of silk. A China man, when about to fit himself out with 8 new suit of clothes, takes the matter seriously. He goes to the merchant, seats himself on bamboo stool, and has va rious silks spread out before him on square matted tables. The purchaser con- suits with the merchant and decides mayhap upon palR green crape for trou- sers; heliotrope crape for the second gar ment, worn over these to protect them, and rich blue brocade for coat, with 8 paler shade for lining. All men of po- sition wear silk. It is the coolies that wear cotton. Exchange.

A new plant for forage has
been discovered, as is reported in
the June Consular Report. It is
a giant knob-weed called sagha-
line, from the island of Saghali-
an, off Liberia, whence it was in
troduced into France two years
ago. The scientific name is Poly
gonum saghalinese. 1t is peren-
nial, grows to a height of from
six to ten feet, and has large
smooth leaves, eight by twelve
inches in size. In France they
NOV from it three times a year
and get 80 20 $50 tons per acre of
the green fodder. Chemical an
alysis shows that the plant has 10
per cent of nitrogenous and 4 per
cent of fatty matter, white clover
has 10 per cent of. the former and
3 per cent of the latter. Saghal;-
an has severe winters and long
dry summers, SO that it seems
that the plant would grow easily
IA almost any of the northern
states of this country. 1t may
prove a valuable substitute for
alfalfa and clover in localities
where those plants do not flour
Iish.

Mr.. Harvey in his debate charg-
ed Senator Sherman with being
instrumental i'll having the silver
dollar surreptitiotsly stri c G II
from the act of 1878. The charge
was too close for comfort for the
senator and he offered a vigorous
denial and to which Mr.. Harvey
replied as follows:
II want every man and woman in
America who wishes to preserve free
government to this republic to read
the Congressional Record giving the
words uttered in the senate on January
IL, 1873. 1t shows that the silver dol
lar was in the bill that came from the
house that was to put us on tha-EEench
ratio and that the senate aereedHs6 it.
MIR. Sherman himself eStolled it and
sssa it was q dellar that would Eoat
around the world. This dollar was
agreed to by both hoeses. and was in
the bill when it went to the conference
committee, The duty OF the conference
committee was to settle disputed ques-
tions on which the two ho.lses had dis
agreed. The silver dollar was not one
of the questions on which the two
houses had disagreed, and yet the bill
turns up enrolled with this silver dol
lar erased from the bill by the confer
ence committee. Senator Sherman and
Mr.. Hooper OF the house, handled the
Z bill, and either these two men or a cor
rupt clerk made the commission. The
significance OF this can be best under
stood when say that these men repre-
sented that they were .re-enacting the
law of 1858 except in changing the size
of the silver dollar, and ander the law
oflS53 the silver dollar only had free
access to the mints.n

ITEMS FROM ALIENS REAL EsrATER.

slNiS lSoIfl ALLEN > tLIl2AlI- sLAs
From The Hurley Real-Estater
of autumn 1894:
Don't get discouraged, don't lose
faith in the country, you know it
has always been all right before and
it will be all right again. Just stick
to it. Don't try to sell out. Take the
best possible care of your live stock
and we will all pull through all right
and next season will bring every thing
into tune again.
We told you SO and we told it
to you straight, too. Last year
was a tough one and we all saw
hard times; but we are all right
here yet, none the worse for the
experience and in good trim to
enjoy the prosperity which we
now have. Yes, truly, Every
thing is in tune again"
1t would be we'll for prospective
investors to bear in mind that
prices of good farm lands in this
vicinity are going to be much
higher soon, partly on account of
the immense crops raised here
this season and partly on account
of financial matters easing up all
over the country. Buy now, IS
Our advice.
South Dakota butter makers re-
ceive quite compliment from
Chicago butter buyers. They ex-
press the opinion that this state
will lead all others in this line in
short time. Hurley is soon to
have a creamery, one of the best
in the state.
Estimated yield of crops per
acre in this vicinity for 1895:
Corn 80 to 90 bushels. Oat 40
to 65. Wheat 20 to 35. Bar
| ley---some fields have been thresh-
ed and yielded from so to 65 bush
els per acre. Potatoes will be i'm
mense this year.
Don't look for farm west of
the Missouri river. There is some
good grazing land there but if
you want a home farm buy in the
Southeastern part of the state
Turner county.
We have asserted from time to
time that 'CRops NEVER FAIL IN
TURNER County, and we repeat
| it now with emphasis. Just
watch for crop reports this fall.
What is the matter with Turn
er county? Nothing, it is all
right, always was and always will
lbe.
We can suit you on location,
soil, water, price and terms, come
and see us if You want farm.
Corn is King and Turner coun-
ty is one of the wealthiest king

Hurley is the best all around
