New YORK, Oct. 10-A special
cable to the World from London says:
An extraordinary and, In many re-
spects, unprecedented publication by .
British or other high diplomat has
been discussed during the last few
days among the foreign Representa-.
tives to the court of ST. James. This
is a handsomely printed pamphlet
marked ''for private circulation only"
and entitled "My Mission to the United
States, $780," and has just been issued

ton for the period named.
1t will be remembered that President
Cleveland, almost on the eve of the
election of 1883, sent Sir Lionel his
passports because of q letter written
by him to an alleged Englishman in
California commenting upon the APP
preaching election. This pamphlet is
Lord Sackville's defense and explana-
ton, after seven years, of that incident
But the unprecedented part of it, and
the part which has aroused very ex.
cited comment, is, first, the freedom Of
his structures upon the American peo.
pie and American public men, and,
second, his own expressed Indignation
that the British ministry should have
accepted Mr.. Bayard as ambassador
to this country when as secretary OF
state of the United States Mr.. Bayard
had wantonly insulted in person its
accredited representative.
The pamphlet contains fifty.two
pages, $1,000 words, and is of very linn.
tied issue-not more than 100 copies.
These have been sent under seal only
to leading foreign diplomats, the high.
err English officials and few personal
friends.

New YORK, Oct. 12.-R. G. DUN q
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The price barometer gives indications
that are not entirely favorable. Cotton
goods go up with increased evidence
that the crop of cotton is short Prices
Of other manufactured products, Of
wool, hides and leather all show some
decline, general abatement in new or
ders being the principal cause. With
an immense volume of business not
much exceeded in the largest month
of the exceptional year, 1892, and with
evidence that in several branches the
volume has surpassed that of any
previous year, there is q growing un.
certainty about the near future of in.
dustries Money markets are neither
strained or threatening, foreign ex-
change no longer raising apprehension,
all fears about the great northern
crops are passed. There have been
few advances in wages of labor within
the past month, and only few works
have been closed by strikes for an ad.
vance.
In wooden manufacturers demand
for dress goods aud some specialties
keeps many fully employed, but most
of the works making woolens, for
which new orders are scanty, find not
enough to keep them running. To
pile up goods in advance wholly in the
dark as to future competition, involves
such risks that some concerns may
close for a time. Yet sales of wool
continue heavy, l1,l34, 100 pounds for
the week, largely speculative.
Wheat receipts have been 7,531.474
bushels, against 1850, 1s1 last year,

Varieties In Corn.


There have been as great changes in
the type Of corn as in any kind of Guilt
waited plant. In New England and most
of the northern states flint corn is al
most exclusively grown as field crop.
For the garden and to some extent for
general purposes sweet corn and pop
corn are grown. American Cultivator
says: We have known farmers to have
popcorn ground for meal, and they said
that when cooked it was sweeter and
better than that from most flint corn.
Sweet corn is to some extent grown as
food for milk COWS. The stalks, if cut
early, are sweeter than those of ordina-
ry corn.
Western people think the dent corn
makes better corn bread than does the
eastern flint corn, but our idea is that
the flint corn is best for all purposes
The weight of stalks of flint corn is less
per acre, but the yield by weight Of the
grain is larger than the average of that
grown at the west Still when an east
ern farmer wants to grow the largest
possible yield of corn he is apt to select
some of the early dent varieties to make
the trial with. That shows his belief
that it is the greater care which flint
corn usually gets that explains it's great
err average prolificacy.

The High School Ball.

The High school boys are working hard
TO make their Lall success. They have won
the pennant, it is here, and will be pre-
sented next Friday evening". The proceeds
of the pall will be devoted to paying the
debt accumulated during the last week of
training. Although the receipts of the Ban
gor games were large, yet there was big
expense attached TO the maintenance of the
eleven. The fact that between three and
four hundred dollars were paid during
the season for coaching alone, will give
some idea of the expenditure during the
year. Everyone who has been an admirer
of the good work of the team should turn
ont on this occasion and help the boys out
of tight place. The attraction ought to
be aatrong one. Governor Cleaves was ex-
tended an invitation to present the flag,
and stated that it would have been plea
sure for him to have done so. but his alb
sence from the city on Friday next will pre-
vent. G. A. Hight, ESQ.,, will probably make
the presentation. Tickets may be obtained
from members of the team or at the door
on the night of the ball. Be sure and go.

1tnIcs of Rotation.

As laid down by the Florida Times
Union tire best rules are, first, crops
of the same species and even of the
same natural order should not succeed
each othor; second, plants with perpen-
dicular roots should succeed those with
spreading and superficial roots, and vice
versa; third, crops which occupy the
soil for several years, like asparagus,
rhubarb, ETC., should be- followed by
those of short duration; fourth, two
crops alike favorable to the growth of
weeds should not occupy the soil in sue
cession; fifth, crops abstracting largely
from the soil the sulphates, phosphates
and nitrogen principles should not fol-
low each other Immediately, but be sue
ceeded by those which draw less from
the soil and more from the atmosphere
these exhausting crops should follow
and be followed by those which bear
and will profit by heavy manuring;
sixth, plants grown for their roots or
bulbs should not follow those grown
for the same purpose, and still less
should plants grown for their seeds fol-
low each other directly in succession.
