1 take it that it will be now as it was
then. July and August, 1888 were both
dry-the latter month very hot and dry.
Then came fall rains, after which the
season was about as now. 1t was very
warm the last days Of December, 1888,
with two rains previous to the snow OF
the 4th OF January. In these two facts
is some hope that the present loses will
not be 30 serious as then.
The completion of terminal growth,
and the ripening of buds at midsummer,
followed by weather inducing further
growth, Of course impaired the resistive-
ness Of all such tissues. Then the rains
just preceding the intense cold also rem
dered the buds more liable to injury. To
what extent these trivial circumstances
will alter sequences can not of course be
determined.
Only twoscatastrOphes have overtaken
the Kentucky fruitgrower in the past
sixty years, and as the effect of only one
of these is known to US, the data on
which comparison and analogy rest is
meagre.
But we will venture the opinion that
when another autumn shall have come,
that bounties in full measure will have
gladdened the year.

FRUIT YIELD UNCERTAIN.

the future by the past is entirely fair,
and know Of no better way to deter
mine the measure of injury inflicted by
the recent intense cold than by compar-
ison Of conditions now and in January,
1884.
In that year the loss Of the peach crop
was total, there we're some cherries and
plums, full crop Of apples and grapes,
and pears in modern abundance. The
raspberries were considerably injured
and blackberries nearly total lops. Cur
rants and gooseberries are entirely hardy,
and strawberries, then, as now, we're in
no ways injured. 1t was, however, FIVE
years before we knew absolutely what
was lost. The pignut-hickory disap-
peared from our woodlands, the pawpaw
froze to the ground, and many an ash
and walnut holds aloft a deadened top
by reason of the cold Of that fearful Sat-
urday morning.

MExIco,s STRANGE ACTION.
Co-operation In Preventing Spread
Of Yellow Jnck Refused


The officials OF the State and Treasury
departments have experienced not a little
surprise at the attitude assumed by Mexico
toward recent proposition of this Govern
ment TO cooperate in preventing the spread
of yellow fever across the southern border
into the United States Recently il was
proposed by the Treasury Department that
surgeons and sanitary inspectors OF the Ma
rine Hospital Service be stationed at various
points on Mexican soil to examine persons
and baggage bound for the United States
oy way OF the trunk railway lines The
State Department thereupon instructed
Powell Clayton, the United States Minister
TO Mexico, TO lay the proposal
before the Mexican Government. believing
that prompt acquiescenee would be the re-
suit. Minister Clayton has just informed
the State Department that he carried out the
instructions, and that the proposition was
politely received, although the answer was
withheld. In the same communication Mr..
Clayton enclosed clipping from a Mexican
newspaper which says that the Department
of Communications has informed the trunk
lines OF railway that they may not re-
quire buyers of tickets over their lines &c
show certificates of health as il is Illegal
for United States officers TO examine pas
sengers and issue such certificates in Mex
leo. Minister Clayton says that he was
surprised TO see this statement, as he had
received no reply to his official eommunca-
tion from the Government. and that. more
over, he found, upon investigation, that the
published report of the Government letter
to the railways was entirely correct Vel
low fever has been very prevalent in eer-
tain ports Of Mexico during the last few
months. and the United States authorities
have been making special efforts TO prevent
its spread across the border.

Boats to Save Their Lives.

ASHTABULA, Aug. 27.-The entire sup

Tilley were destroyed by fire while that
vessel was on Lake Erie, six miles from
shore, off Fairport, about midnight last
night. At a. m. today the burned vessel
was brought into Fairport Harbor with the
fire still eating it's way into her hull The
tugs Favorite, Annie, and Paige and the

leave the vessel to save their lives, and ii

struggled for nearly half an hour. He was
finally picked up by the tug Favorite. The
crew was then taken aboard the tug Favor

other tug got line TO the burning vessel
and followed the Favorite. On board the
Tilley were nineteen people, two of them
passengers. They were a Miss Lee and
Miss MacPhalen, Of Fort Williams, Canada.
The fire broke out just as several persons
had retired. The TiIley is almost total

Chamberlain ON Kruger.

In a speech at Highbury on Saturday
evening, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, British
Secretary Of State for the Colonies, said:
The issues Of peace and war are in the hands

difficulties, TO secure and confirm the independ-
ence Of his State and pave the way for a better

words2 The sands are running down and the
situation Is frsught with danger and Is too
strained for indefinite postPonement
If words like the foregoing do not carry
an ultimatum to the Beers the English
language can no longer be called ex-
pressive There is some evidence of an
opinion, in which the English correspond
ents of several leading American papers
seem TO share, that the authorities at Pre-
toria will take the hint, and, at last
climb down" from their truculent and
defiant position. We fancy that this idea
is born of knowledge that the alternative
must be a struggle in which the South
African Republic would disappear from the
map. perhaps before many weeks. 1t may
be feared that it does not take sufficient
account OF the insane fatalism and fanat-
icism of Kruger and his ignorant burghers;
nor of their ridiculous confidence in their
ability to resist a British invasion. This
last, we may say in passing, is a senti-

is itself foolishly responsible. The Beers

detachment OF imperial troops at Majuba
Hill. After that sanguinary affair they
were surrounded by a strong force Of red
coats under Sir Evelyn Wood, who was
ready to give them a severe and needed
lesson: but MIR. Gladstone then Premier,

France prides herself on being able

What does this boast amount to? Upon
the outbreak of war in these days of rapid

upon the troops first in the field, and
these troops, upon whose behavior in the
brunt of sudden battle the salvation of
their country might depend, would be not

ened with veterans and relying upon their
leaders with glad confidence, but a crowd

they know and hate.
