A correspondent of the London
Times states that the growing of early
potatoes has been completely super
seded as the chief industry of the
Scilly Islands by the cultivation of the
narcissus for the English flower mar
ket. Ten or fifteen years ago the mar
cissus was looked on as an unmitigated
pest by the farmers, and carloads of
bulbs were to be had for the asking by
the pioneers Of the new industry. But
now the better sorts of narcissi cost
from fl to f2 per 1000, and an acre of
land takes 100000 bulbs. About 400
acres are under this cultivation, and
the islanders draw about FAC, 900 a year
from this source. Nearly all the pota-
toes and other vegetables consumed in
Scilly have now to be imported. AS
soon as the forcing of narcissi is over,
the houses are filled with tomato plants.

Towns Destroyed by Forest Fires.

GLADYS, a station on the South Shore
line, eight miles from Sault Ste. Marie,
was wiped out of existence by forest
fires. One of the heaviest sufferers is
Judge A. C. Colwell, of the $780," who
had sawmill plant there, which was
destroyed, with the lumber and logs in
the yard Three South Shore cars
were burned on the siding, and several
houses were swept away, the inmates
being compe lied to flee for their lives.
Other towns near the $500" are also
in imminent danger of destruction.
The citizens of Dafter had to turn out
en- masse to fight the flames. 1t was
reported that Brimley was in the path
of the wind-driven flames. The farm
houses and crops of several of the
farmers in the outlying districts near
there were burned. Many of the in
habitants had narrow escapes. No
loss of lives has been reported. A
number of lumber camps that have
already started up, were burned, to-
gether with large quantity of pine.
Thousands of cords of pulp wood owned
by the Niagara Falls Paper Co. have
been consumed by the flames.
The high southwest winds caused
considerable trouble with forest fires
about the new town of Munising,
which was entirely surrounded by
flames and at times it seemed as though
the town would burn up. Had it not
been for the recently established water
system, there would have been no
hope. The forests a few miles south
of Wetmore are all on fire and it is
rapidly spreading. No rain has fallen
for weeks in the burning district
Everything in the forests is as dry as
finder, and unless there is rain soon
vast amount of valuable timber will be
destroyed.

Burial of Billy Bryan

For the San Antonio LIGHT.
Not a drum was heard, but a frantic
note
A weird, wild western wall.
Like the doleful howl of dying coyote
Testified to the truth of the tale.
For the story had flown over the tele-
graph lines
From Maine to the golden shore,
From the nations center to its utmost
confines,
That poor windy Bill was no more.
We buried him deep in the broad day
light
The sods with our ballots turning.
For that was funeral we wanted done
right
For the youngster who had such
yearning
To sit on the seat where Washington sat;
0And he dreamed 1t would come to pass
When he turned to the boys" and told
them that
They needn't keep off the grass"
A plain wood coffin enclosed his breast,
The timber for which was furnished
BY a platform built way out in the
west;
Apd with free silver dollars twas bur-
nished.
Few, il any, were the prayers we said,
And we felt not paDg Of sorrow,
So we gazed on the face Of poor Billy, so
That he'll never know any tomorrow.
We thought as he lay In his cold little
What pity he hadn't known better
Than say all the wearisome speeches he
AS he vainly endeavored to fetter
Dear old Uncle Sam with free silver
chain,
And the wages OF labor destroy,
As for months he attempted with might
aud with main
The wage-earner's vote to decoy."
Lightly they'll t,lk Of poor Bill, now he's
gone,
And perhaps at some time in the future
They Il think his unparalleled, massive
jaw bone
Belonged to four-footed creature,
Promptly aud quickly we laid him down
From the silver campaign fresh and
CORY,
And over his carcass we set up stone.
Aud on II was given this story:
EPITAPH,
Hic jacet beneath this sd,
AS cold and dead as two-etn Quad,
Bill Bryan, from Nebraska's hills
| who sought To cure the public ills
BY aliopathic silver pills.
But Uncle Sam the pills declined,
| Which DIR. Bryan thought unkind:
de heayed weary, heavy sigh,
Was stricken with vOx popuIi
And on Tuesday he did die.
No more we'll hear his silver tongue.
No more the silver song he sung
viii oil the POpocrats with glee,
For Bill is dead and gone, you see
May he reQuieScat in pace!

New Orleans, Nov. THE fol
lowing has been sent to Gov.
Foster:
Ruston, La, Nov. 8, 1896.
To His Excellency, NJ. j. Foster,
Governor of the State of Lou
isiana, and to the People of
louisiana:
On Saturday last mass meet
ing of the citizens of this parish,
requested the undersigned to
bring to your attention the condi
ton of the people resulting from
the long drouth during the sum
mer.
From April IL last until late
in September, very little rain fell
here and the consequence is that
| the crops of corn and cotton are
failures with our people. In
wards four and five there has
probably been one.half enough
corn made to suffice. AS the
cotton is also a failure, the means
! to purchase are not in hand. In
wards one, two, three, five and
| seven, about one-fourth enough.
We desire to state that the rule
has been in this parish for years
TO make enough corn to supply
our local demands. OF course
many of our people are able to
supply themselves, but very few
are able to do anything toward
helping others. A large majority
are not. able to meet their eX-
penses for this year and there
are very few, if any people in the
parish, who did not lose money
during the present year. There
is a large number of our people
who must receive aid from the
charitable or suffer, and the num-
Der is not so large that our peo-
pie cannot support the burden.
From all the data we have been
able to get it will take $4,000
bushels of corn or it's equivalent
in bread-stuffs to supply those
who will not be able to supply
themselves by any, means. A
large percentage of the corn that
has been made will not do to
make bread or feed to horses. 1t
is smutty.
1t is CALLING to us to ask it,
but the great necessities of our
