The police now believe that they have arrested all persons who were concerned in the murder of Fillipo Caruso, whose body was found in the trunk at Pittsburgh. At an early hour yesterday morning Detective McDonald arrested two Italians, named Antonio Mer-cucio and Boroconti Savoadori, and locked tbem up in tbe Desplalnes street station.

They were residents of the house where tbe murder is supposed to have been eom-nitted. Do! an, a boy, and Mamie Corbett identified Mercucio as the man who was in the room when the trunk was carried away, though be has since bad bis whiskers trimmed. Dr. B. F.

rough ton, of No. 71 Monroe street has also identified Mereinclo as the Italian he saw earry'nc a trunk past his efhee on April SO. Andre Kusso, who has been under arrest since the body was found in the trunk, will be released to-dsy, there being no evidence against him. Detective Boufield Unexpected te arrive from Sew York to-day with Augustine Jurado md Victoria Clarairato, the woman who left here with him for New York, whence they intended to sail for Italy. A I of Kafllaaa.

Oswxoo. N. May 1L Early Saturday night two masked men entered tbe house of F. S. Thrall, In this city, during tbe absence of Mr.

and Mrs. Thrall at church. A daughter, aged fourteen years, bad Just put a younger sister to bed and sat at the piano playing, when the two men appeared in the room; one of them with a drawn knife, seized ber, and under penalty of death, commanded silence, but said she would not be harmed if she made no outcry- He then cut off ber hair and cut her clothing, saying be wanted to be revenged on her father. They took some articles of silverware and left the bouse without doing the child further harm. THE It Has Coma The God-in-the-CoDxtitntion movement has reached Kansas and it ia safe to say that from now on, it and prohibition will walk hand in hand, and it will not be long before tbe Republican party will have this additional load saddled npon its poor, lauie back.

The 'visitation" struck at Hiawatha, where a Convention waa held, a few day ago. Bat justice demand that we shonld state that the thing was engineered by wild-eyed fanatic from Iowa and other States, and that the local ministers of Hiawatha, while sympathizing with the primary object of the movement, resisted aud combated the ultra and outrageous ideas advanced by the leading spirit. Bat letter ef sympathy and co-operation were read frem St. John and other leading prohibitionists, showing that they were in fall accord with the movement, and ready to add their force to help carry it through. One of the theories advanced, and upheld against all opposition, was that a Government that did not acknowledge God in it fundamental law wa immoral, and that Christian did not owe obedience to an immoral Government.

They cited the Fngitive Slave Law as a law that did not meet the approval of the Christian conscience of the nation, and it wa disobeyed and resisted. This fully sustains the position we' have taken heretofore. A certain elaas of men set themselves up as the exponent of sou-science, and the judges of right and wrong. Whatever they disapprove of, is wrong, and must be resisted, law or no law but whatever meet their approval, is right, beyond all eavil or controversy, and everybody else, whether approving it or not, must be compelled to obey, or submit to severe pain and penalties. Tbe Fugitive Slave Law waa just as sacred a any law that was ever enacted, and so decid ed by the highest Court in tbe land.

But it outraged the public ena of justice and right, and was resisted. Now we have a class of men travelling over tbe land, demanding that the prohibitory law, however oppressive and repugnant to public opinion it may be, must be enforced and olteyed, because it is the law and men of the same class proclaim that they do not owe obedience to the Katieaal Government, because their peculiar whims have not been gratified by inserting a puff of God Almighty in the Const it a tion of the United State. We imagine that those people who do not set themselves up a tbe custodian of the public conscience, will exercise the same freedom of action that the other aide proclaim. Prohibition conflict with their sense of justice, and they will not obey it. Legislatures and Courts may enaet and decide, and the officers of tbe law may become eppressive tools in enforcing the law, as waa the case under the Fugitive Slave Law but they cannot "stamp out" the spirit of resistance.

It will still survive and increase, until, prohibition becomes a thing of the past, and Connty Attorneys and Sheriffs cease to be bloodhounds, and are allowed to pursue their legitimate duties. The Difference. Under Republican rule, when a man was appointed to an important office, a sketch of his life almost invariably contained an account of his service in the Union army during tbe Rebellion. But now there i a change perhaps the "change" that the people clamored for. It is a rarity to read of the Union service of an appointee of Cleveland.

If he is a Southerner, (as most of them are,) hi passport seems to have been acceptable service in the Confederate army. If he is a Northern man (like Nelson F. Aeers, of Kansas, for instance,) we are told bow he had graduated at college, and just completed the study of the law when the war broke out, and with the patriotic of youth, he stack himself away ia some law office, and never bodged from it until the war was ended. Kansas has a number of prominent Democrats who were Union soldiers; bat if a single one of tbem has received an office, or has any prospect of it, we have not heard of it. Rather Mixed.

Bill Hackney, of the State Temperance Union, has appointed a Mr. Ray Judge of the Sumner District Court, in place of Orner, frozen out. Troy Chief. Then in another column of the same issue tbe Chief says George D. Orner, appointed Judge of tbe new Sumner Judicial District, has found public opinion so hostile to htm that be has been compelled to resign.

Gov. Martin will find that even Ac cannot afford to defy public opinion, bv appointing obnoxious men to office on the ground of political favoritism. The conclusion would be that Mr. Hackney and the Temperance Union represented ''public opinion," and did tbe right thing in having Orner bounced. This sort of editorial logic does not become Sol.

Miller. Paola Spirit. On what principle of logic, reason, or common goose sense, do you arrive at tbe conclusion that Hackney and the Temperance Union had Orner bounced There is nothing in either of the extracts quoted from which such an inference can be drawn. Is THIS PtUIBUEf Report comes that General Grant's unproved condition ia due to the fact that he is using a "simple vegetable preparation" forwarded by one of our eonxals from Sonth America, and sent him by tbe Surgeon General Is this possible I By an "unauthorised" remedy Shockin And yet, if this "simple vegetable preparation'' were owned and advertised by any one as a specific for this terrible disease, certainly the Surgeon General would not commend it. nor would bigoted physicians prescribe it Nevertheless it is a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the day, as the late Dr.

J. G. Holland stated ia Scribner't Men more JCjessfal than many phy-i Jans, and most of them, it should beie-membered, were at first discovered or used in actual medieal practice. When, however, any shrewd persons, knowing of their virtue aad foreseeing their popularity, secured aad advertised them, then, ia the opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out of them! Isn't this absurd We believe that a remedy, if properly made, is just as effective when put-np, advertised and sold in bulk, as when doled out to patients at enormous expense by their physicians. Why not! If General Grant ia getting better through a simple unauthorized vegetable preparation, where is the vaunted exclusive skill of the medical profession Apropos of tbe suspension of some very prominent members by the Medical aud Chirugical faculty of Maryland, for endorsing advertised remedies, the Baltimore American (April 25) gays that "when a patent medicine goes on ear after year widening its eircle ef believers, it is a pretty fair evidence that there is merit in it.

Tbe regular doctors may ignore it, and expel any of their members who use it, but when they do so, their action looks more like enry against a sucessful remedy than a desire to protect the publie." The failure in the Garfield and Grant cases, the American thinks, and properly, haa knocked professional pretensions higher than a kite. But this is not a singular instance of unprofessional power over "incurable diseases. That "simple vegetable preparation" now everywhere known as Warner's safe enre, was once an authorized remedy; was pronounced a "god-send'' to tbe medical profession for the cure of kidney and liver disorders, malaria, general debility, spring feebleness, female irregularities, but when the formula was fully perfected, and the medicine put np in bulk, and advertised so that every sufferer might know of it, anil treat himself, then the profession turned upon it, and let their patients die rather than to nse it. This is certainly a strange proceeding, but it ia on a level with all the rules and regulations of a code which has gone so far as to forbid a physician displaying beyond a certain size his name and profession upon his sign But the world moves, and merit wins the ght 1st a aid About Doniphan. Last Sunday night, the Rev.

Williamson, of Missouri, preached in Doniphan, to a full house. He is of the Christian, or commonly called Campbcllite church. It makes no difference as to name, he is an able divine, and held his audience spell-bound for an hour. He will preach here again, the 3d Saturday night and Sunday night in June, which will be five weeks frem last Sunday. As we will probably have this gentleman to preach regularly, it ia to be hoped that our people will turn out.

Do not complain; we have had an abundance of rain. The road below town will soon be in good repair. D. Quinn is pushing the work with a full force. Father Leak ia troubled badly with rheumatic pains, but still attends to his official duties.

A great deal of corn was planted, last week. The opinion is that a great deal of the eoming crop of wheat will go to cheat. Stephen Jett has returned from his long fishing expedition. River rising, at this point. Oar colored brethren and sisters had quite a large turn-out to the baptising, last Sunday.

Harry Fry and Edward Craig's wife were immers ed in the branch west of town. Just before the baptising commenced, two dogs got to fighting, and tumbled into the dam of water, which caused them to suspend, after a little tussle in the water. There were some (fifty or more white persons present, to witness the baptising. Afterwards, the colored members repaired to their church, whore the sacrament was administered. Sewing machine and organ agents are flooding the couutry.

The only way to get rid of them, is to let your dog loose. Tbe ladies of Spring Grove are getting up a carpet for the benefit of the Library. Tickets will be sold at 10c apiece. Tbe Incky ticket-holder wins the carpet. Our Marshal, when not engaged in bis official capacity, ia practicing with his gun, killing rats.

Doniphan has become one of the ost sober, quiet towns this side of the Capital town of prohibition, Topeka. It waa amusing to see Esq. Forman, Monday morning, holding a pig in each hand, when Baughman wanted some of former's ague cure, and he could not let go to get it out of his pocket, but told Baughman to look in the right hand pocket, and get it. The pigs kept np snch a squealing that he could not understand which pocket, and got out a bottle of Soothing Syrup. Win.

James has ont near two thousand sweet potato plants. Several other parties have as many. The weather is flue, so far, for sweet potato. A good evidence of business is to see sample men about. We have a good many, and they are taking orders from our merchants.

We need not be frightened about there being no fruit, for there will be plenty of it. Thomas Langan and his new wife went through Doniphan. Sunday. We do not think that Tom waa aware that he bad reached Doniphan, as he kept on north. Moke Anon.

am New York City Haa trie Laxsreat Dry Goods Sale Ever Known. Goods Prices Obtained and Nearly S.OOO, OOO Worth of Goods KoM The Texas Wool Clip Good Outlook for the Arkansas Cotton Crop. New Tobk, May 18. More than 1,000 men, representing all tbe leading dry goods bouses in the United States, and an aggregate capital of many hundred millions of dollars, packed themselves Into tbe big auction room of Wiluierding, Hoguet A No. 66 White street, and for eight bours wrestled with a glib-tongued auctioneer over 30,000 packages of cotton goods from the miUa represented by Bliss, Fabyan A the selling agents.

Throughout tbe entire day the crowd waa immense and tbe interest in the sale was maintained, with no signs of diminution. Buyers were present from every State in the Union, rep-presenting all the important houses in the trade. Notices of tbe sale were sent out by telegraph on Friday, and were published by the leading newspaper in all tbe cities. Among the more important houses present were Marshall. Field John V.

Far-well John 11. Walker Ccl, Strong Hill, and Carson. Scott of Chicago (oll Frank, of Milwaukee; S. C. Davis A of St.

Loni. Twenty thousand packages of cotton goods composed the catalogue, but nearly 23,000 were sold, for many were disposed of in excess of the manufactured good in tbe hands of the sellers. The selling was personally conducted by Mr. Wilmerding, and with him stood Mr. Lilis-i.

The bidding was brisk from the start, and at times the excitement in the room became Intense. A lot of 000 bales of brown sheetings, from the Fepperell Mills, sold at 5 cents. The current price is 6 cents. A lot of packages of wide sheetings of tbe same manufacture sold at within 1 per cent, of the current prices. One thousand biue checks sold at only 5 per cent off from tbe regular price.

Six hundred cases of sateen corsets of the Androscoggin manufacture brought six cents a yard, they being oidy half a cent more In the jobbers' stores. A lot of 630 cases of Laconia Mill corset jeans sold for cents, within ot a cent of their regular price. Eight hundred cases of colored cheviots gold at from to cents, with only a margin of or uf a cent of the current figure. One thousand five hundred quilts of the Bates mauufacture, sold at within 5 per cent, of the regular price. The ducks, the denims and the brown tickings at a similar figure.

A lot of 1,000 Laconia flaniM-is sold at cent, which is removed from their current price only 14 cent When the sales were ended at rive p. m. every yard bad been disposed of and enough more to tax tlte mills represented by tiie selling firm for a month to come. Great surprise was expressed by many buyers at the extraordinary prices received, considering the dull condition of the general trade. One merchant said "There is not a commission house In the country that does not wish its goods were In this sale.

These prices are astonisbinz." The total proceeds reached nearly if not quite 1,750,000. Auctioneer Wiluierding said that they would not fall much below 3,000,000. It was the largest diy goods sale ever made, aud its proceeds reached a larger figure than any public sale of a single day's duration. St. Louis, May 10.

T. Saunders Foster, of Nolan County, was on the floor at the Cotton Exchange yesterday afternoon. In regard to the wool clip in that State, Mr. Foster said "The clip will be much heavier than Jast year, though almost thirty per cent of the sheep were winter-killed. Why, one man near Colorado City lost all but twenty-eight out of a flock of 6.000 during the cold weather.

The number of flocks has been so increased, however, that the clip will amount to 60,000,000 pounds, notwithstanding the bud winter. About one-half the sheep are now sheared, and the fleeces are now being hauled to the depots. Abilene received nearly LOOO.OOO pounds during the first week of tins mouth. For the whole season it is estimated that Abilene will receive 6,000.000 pounds; Colorado City, 3,000,000 pounds; San Antonio, pounds. I speak of these places especially because St Louis should get all their shipments.

Wool-raisers down ther are now holding their fleeces at the depots, waiting to find out what inducements the different markets can offer. They are afraid of Boston and Philadelphia, bee; they have been so overcharged for storage, insurance and commission in those cities. All of them profess to be anxious to ship to St. Louis on account of the transportation facilities, but are afraid to do so on account of the uncertainty of sales." "Are there many buyers from Eastern cities now in Texas?" "Yes; a dozen or more. They are scared up by the talk of the extra effort to be made in St.

Louis. They are scouring the country there, buying up wool in lumps, without paying any attention to cleanliness or quality. According to the new system here, you see, every assignment of wool will be sold on ito merita." Little Kock, May 16. The prospect for a good cotton crop in this State is fair. On the river bottoms much of the crop was destroyed by the April overflow.

In Pulaski, Jefferson, and other large cot-ten counties washed by the Arkansas River many plantations were wholly or partly inundated and the crop mined. Miller, Hempstead, add other counties on Red Kiver also suffered from the overflow as did Clark and Dallas on the Ouachita. The crop in the counties bordering en tlie Mississippi has not been injured! Replanting has been vigorously pushed and will be completed by the 20th. There will be a slight failing Off in the acreage in consequence of tlte overflow, but 93 per cent, of the original crop will be replanted. Much of the replant is beginning to show above ground.

In general, wliere the seed has germinated the stand is good, but the piSnt looks bad, being affected by the cool nights. The cool weather has also brought on the cut-worm, which Is thinning out the stand. Farmers report labor plentiful and plow stock in good condition. All improved agricultural implements are in general use among the cotton growers, and any misfortunes that may happen to itie crop will be through other causes tlirg, imperfect cultivation. North Arkansas reports an increase In the acreage rf four per cent.

In this vicinity aud sonth the acreage is about the same as last season. WASHINGTON NOTES. What Admiral Jonett Has to Say About Panama VFyman's Accounts Other Koc- a. Washisgtow, May 10. Admiral Jouett Informs the Navy Department that the rebels having been forced to retreat from Carthage Barenqullla is the only point on the isthmus where they hold possession.

Commissioner IS. II. McCallar, who commanded the land forces of the navy on the isthmus during the recent trouble there, returned to Washington to-day. tie reports the health of the men who remained excellent The cause of the recent revolution was the denuding the isthmus of national forces. There are a number of adventur ers like Preston, though not so bright as be, who are ready to take advantage of the absence of troops.

Every month the canal company pays out $1,500,000 to the workmen. These adventurers commit regular high way robbery whenever opportunity offers, and take the money that has been paid to the day laborers. Rum is the great evil great quantities are drank after every pay day. The workmen and the adventurers then indulge in a war of words and wind up with a war of anus. Preston has gone to Carthagena.

That place is besieged, and I understand before leaving, that it was running short of provisions. Eggs were selling at thirty cents a piece. Carthagena is a splendidly fortified city, and contains probably 30.000 or 40.000 people. Warhtnoton, May 18. The committee appointed to examine the assets and bonks of the United States Treasurer at the close of business, April 3, has made its report to the Secretary of the Treasury.

It shows a complete verification of the books and ao-counts of the late Treasurer, Mr. Wyman. Tbe reports say, however, that the verification of the correctness of the balances reported to the credit of public disbursing officers was not as complete as the committee would prefer. They consider that tbe only satisfactory test of the correctness ol an acconnt of this kind is a statement by tAc depositor to that effect. To secure this verification, tbe accounts were written np to April 80 last, and sent to the several depositors for verification and.

report. In many instances these reports have been received, and others will come in from time to time and will be examined. An excess of thirteen cents was found in the balances due from tbe Treasurer as Sinking Fund Commissioner of the District of Columbia oo accounts settled by tbe officers of tbe Treasury. WAsnntOTOS', May 13. Several days ago a delegation from the order of Good Templars, of the District of Columbia, called on President Cleveland aad left with him a written address urging him to make diligent inquiry into tbe personal habits and associations of the persons he should appoint to ofnoes in the district, In reply to the address the President said: "I read your address late last night with great Interest.

It is something tangible, and if all men would come to me yon have my labor would be greatly lessened. The temperance people are good people and friends of law and order. Before I left New York I determined to give tbe District a good Government, but there are as many conflicting interests that I am sometimes at a loss to know wbat to do; but yon come with dear 'statements, of which I will take further notice." WASHTjreTOW, Kay 18.

SOL. MILLBB, TROY. KANSAS: Thursday, ay 21, 1885. Fr im 1888, JAMES C. BLAINE.

Death of a Type Founder. It is with regret we learo, as 'tbe printer throughout the entire West and Sooth will, of the death of Charles Wells, the head of the old reliable Cincinnati Type Foundry. He died at bia home near Cincinnati, on Sunday, Hay 10th, aged 63 year. Mr. Wells had been fur more tban thirty year at the head of that house, and was known and respected by all printer from the Alleghaniea to the Mississippi River.

He succeeded his father in tbe management of the business, who had succeeded hi father, the founder of the establishment. He was straight-forward, honorable, and reliable. Whatever came from that house, could be depended upon. We have done business with the bonse for thirty-three years, under Mr. Well' management, and were never disappointed.

Their goods were without a superior, and their dealings without crookedness. We learned the trade on type of their manufacture, and printed the Chief on it for fifteen years and even now have much of their display and job type in daily use. A it has been used for thirty years, no better evidence of it good quality is needed. Our first power press was also from the Wells Foundry. If a man is known and rewarded hereafter for hi good work, Charley Wells ha entered upon an eternity ef happiness.

E7 Perhaps the Chief and those other Kansas papers that oppose prohibition are wrong in saying so mncb about it. If they wonld keep still, the prohibitionists themselves wonld go to tearing out each other's eyes out over the question. There is evidently great dissatisfaction among tbe faithful, and a disposition to kick. Judge Carey, of Topeka a strong prohibitionist, eannot see the sense or wisdom in closing ap the saloons, and losing the amount of the license, and sending tbe topers across to the drug store. He finds, by actual examination, that the prescriptions filed in the Probate Judge's office iu Shawnee County amonnt to 17,500 per month, on which tbe Probate Judge's fees amount to $875 per month, with country drug stores on the increase, and still to hear from.

Tbe Probate Judge aud Connty Attorney undertake to dispute bis statement, through the Capital, bnt as these two officers have a bonanza nnder the law, at the expense of the public, they are simply protecting their gold-mine. CF The Iola Register explains that what it objected to in the Chief, was it calling prohibitionists hypocrite. Dear sir, we did not call all prohibitionists hypocrites, for thousands of them are far from it. The ones we called hypocrites, compose very numerous class, and are tbe most noisy ones, and are at the bead of the heap in demanding the most stringent and unreasonable laws. We called them hypocrites and shysters, because that is what they are.

If the Register will be so kind a to suggest a more suitable name, we shall nse it. The men we referred to as hypocrites, are those who bowl for the enforcement of law, and favor the enactment of iron-clad laws, bnt who take their regular drams every day of their lives, aud big drams, too. Some of them were in the Legislature, and were too drunk to stand on their feet steadily while making their prohibition speeches. What shall we call them E7 Some of the Kansas papers express the belief that tbe drivelling editorials in tbe Topeka Capital on the decisions of Judges Crozier and Foster were written by Chief Justice Horton aud it is also asserted that tbe new liquor law was submitted to Judge Horton, before it passed the Legislature, and was by him pronounced impregnable. They must have a poor opinion of Judge Morton's common sense.

He is not a man likely to be cangbt on a pin-book. He is too shrewd and politic, even if he had the desire, to write a newspaper article or give expression upon a question of such importauce, that must inevitably come before him for final settlement. Those articles evidently came from some member of tbe Governor's body-guard the State Temperance Union. Ear" A cry for relief come from New England. It is complained that the girls of that section are monopolizing work of all kinds, and tbe serious question is, wbat is to become of tbe boysf We can tackle that problem.

Turn back, turn back, oh, Time, in your flight, and restore the good old era of witchcraft. Accuse these working girls of being witches, and hang them. As all such things must be accomplished through some political party, saddle this witchcraft crusade upon tbe Republican party. It is a patient pack-horse that carries everything of the kind that is picked op. It is nsed to being loaded down with something, and it seems to make bnt little difference to tbe drivers whether the load is a sack of diamonds or a bag of guano.

t3T Judge Foster, of the United State District Court, has made the same decision on the new liquor law that Jndge Crozier did, but going further, and deciding that -it conflicts with the Constitution of the United State. Tbe question will probably soon find it way to the Supreme Courts of the State and of the United States. But we doubt whether the prohibitionists will take any steps to get it there. The chances are that it wonld be decided against them bnt a long a they can keep it in the hand of the District Judges, a majority of whom are of their own strain, they can enforce their tyranny in a large portion of the State. But their victims may be forced to take the question up.

E7" The proclamation of John Walruff, the Lawrence brewer, has horrified the prohibitionists. Wbat else could John Walruff do to save himself Tbe law make a petty despot of the Probate Judge, whose arbitrary will is supreme. There is do limit to his discretion, even if the entire community petitioned him. The law shonld either have made it ob-ligatory npon him to issue upon tbe fnl-fi lluieut of certain conditions, or it shonld not have placed the authority in his hands at all. Actuated by stubbornness, malice, or pecuniary consideration, he can override the wishea of an entire Connty.

CP It is said that the main reason for discharging Miss Stephen from the corps of teeohers in the State University waa that she is a free thinker, although aha doe not obtrude her religion opin ions upon her classes. The streng argument in favor of retaining Prof. Can field, notwithstanding hi Free Trade doctrines, baa been that he doe not mix them np in hi teachings in the University. Why give Mis Stephens tbe same rights as Prof. Can field 1 jy Two or three time every week, we read in paper here and there, that "Bryant C.

Preston, of the Sabetha Herald, gave us a call." We would gently whisper in the ear of Bryant C. Preston, that if he intends to follow op that sort of thing on the same scale, it will not be long nntil the Sabetha Herald will be ripe for a new management. There is danger that the new Government building project at St. Joseph will be abandoned. We notice that the Saxton and Barnes banks are scrambling to become custodian of the Government funds appropriated for tbe purpose and by the time that is ended, the Government will have lost all desire for a building in St.

Joseph. 7 Another waterspout, with destruction of life and property, in Elk County, ansas, Tuesday. WABRASTT. D. C.

Harper Magazine for June is in every way a streng and entertaining number. Tbe frontispiece is a remarkably good engraving by W. B. Closson, from G. F.

Watts' painting, "Paolo and Francesca," illustrating an article by F. D. Millet on the Watts Exhibition, in which the writer asks and answers the significant question, "What shall our artists paint!" This number contains the sixth part of Miss Woolson's interesting novel, "East Angels," and the concluding part of "At the Red illustratod by C. S. Reinhart-We are promis ed in the July number the first part of a new novel by W.

D. Howells, entitled "Indian Summer." Mr. Millet's quaint and entertaining Baltic sketches are concluded with rambles in Jutland aad Vierlande, illustrated from drawings by the author and B. Swain Gif-ford. The number ia especially rich in illustrated articles on American subjects.

No brighter magazine sketch has ever been published tban Mrs. Alice Wellington Boiling's Day at the Ranch" (in Kansas), illustrated by Mr. and Mrs. R. Swain Gifford.

"Knoxville in the Olden Time," by Edmund Kirke, is a well-written sketch of much historical value, and entirely novel in its portraiture of frontier life in the South-west. Tbe central figure in the sketch is John Sevier, the old Indian-fighter and "the rear guard of the Revolution." The illustrations of tbe article are from drawings by Howard Pyle. Bogota the capital of the United States of Columbia is the subject of an interesting sketch by Lieutenant H. II. Lemly, U.

S. A. finely illustrated. R. F.

Zogbaum contributes a paper, effec tively illustrated from his own drawings, entitled "A Night with the Germans," describ ing the military manoeuvres of the Gorman army in its Thuringian encampment-a sketck similar to those previously contributed by tbe same writer on French and English manoeuvres. Autin Dobson contributes a poem. "To a June Rose," beautifully illustrated by Alfred Parso ns. A novelette, entitled "A Secret of the Sea," by Brander Matthews, is a very strik ing and dramatic story. A humorous sketch is contributed by Mary Tucker Magill, entitled "A Georgian at the Opera." Among the important articles of the num ber are "English in Schools," by Professor A.

S. Hill, and "How Earthquakes are Caus ed," by Richard A. Proctor. Apropos of the recent discussion concerning Margaret ul-ler, some reminiscences of that remarkable woman, in a communication from Mrs. Re becca B.

Spring, are very timely and inter esting. "Jane Days" is a very striking piece of work by a new Krntackian poet, Robert Burns Wilson. Other poems, besides those already mentioned, are contributed by Joel Benton and Louise Chandler Houlton. Mr. George William Curtis, in the "Edi tor's Easy Chair," discusses the nature of newspaper pictures of life, the acting of Henry Irving, the evil spell upon our geography of classic nomenclature, and the abus es of interviewing.

The other Editorial De partments are filled with timely and interes ting matter. In the "Drawer," Charles Dudley Warner writes of literature as the fashion, and among bis selections is a par ticularly characteristic poem by Charles Fol-len Adams, entitled "Mother's Department." Th Xortk American Renew concludes its seventieth year with its June numbar. It never had so large a circulation, nor greater influence, or a more nniliant atan ot con-toihnfAM.

"The Tardiness of Justice" is diaoussed by Judge W.

L. Learned, and "Prohibition in Polities" by Gail Hamilton; "The Swearing Habit" by E. P. Whipple, and "French Spoliation Claims" by Edward Everett. The poliey of the Roman Catholio hierarchy to ward our Fublie Schools is assailed in a learned essay by a new polemic, Mr.

At ortuaea await taa address Tans Saaacaea-lJ. CO- Augusta, Maiaa. Last Saturday's Chisago Inter-Ocean contained special crop report from the nine principal wheat-growing States of the West. The report show that in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska, the wheat is either lees tban one-fourth of an average crop, or a total failure. Indiana is less than half a crop, and Michigan and Wisconsin less than three-fourths of a crop.

In most oi these States, the prospect was unfavorable for tbe wheat that was not killed, and the surplus of old wheat on hand was barely sufficient for home nse and seed. Xr The oldest of the existing religions was established by Zoroaster, in Persia, about 1.200 years B. The youngest was 'revealed" to Joseph Smith, in Ii7. Et. A mistake.

There is one more tban twenty years younger. It was began in 1849, by the Fox girls, at Rochester, New York, as a elever piece of trickery to astonish the neighbors; and to-day thousands upon thousands of people are crazy over it, and call it their "religion." They now call it "Spiritualism," in place of Legerdemain. E7 Tbe Sabetha Republican is en gaged 1 in a war with on Rev. Hogbin. It seems that Hogbin made an agreement with a saloon-keeper, that if he would leave the State, be should not be proses a ted for violating the liquor law.

The man afterward returned, to attend th funeral of one of hi children, when Hegbin caused his arrest. Ha it oonie to this, that the preacher ean say who ahall or ball not be prosecuted, and can compel men to leave the State ltT A person in Topeka, answering to the flatulent nam of Bean, calls vaccination a remnant of auperstittion, and withdraw hi children from the public schools, rather than submit to the order of the School Board to have thetn vaccinated. He seems to think that if his children are "annoculated" with matter taken from an unhealthy cow, they will be liable to contract foot and mouth dis ease. Troughton haa a disciple. Let the good work go on.

CF" The Sam Patch business still fail to work. Prof. Odium gave a public exhibition of jumping from the Brooklyn bridge, Toesday, and knocked the wind out of himself. He recovered consciousness sufficiently to be informed that he bad made a good jump, and then he went dead a a mackerel. EgT The Enterprise Anti Monopolist raises the question "If Rev.

Dr. Kroho should die, would John A. Martin become acting Governor!" No, indeed. Krohn ia Governor 4e facto, and A. B.

Dbak Chif 1 walked through the orchard, the other day, and thongh the trees are very full of bloom, yet it seemed as silent as a grave-yard; not a honey bee could be seen anywhere nothing but here and there the old enemy of all boys, the Now, I would like very mnch to inquire, through the Chief, as to the condition of the bees throughout the County, and from any other person li v-ing outside, and adjacent to the County; if the loss has been as great generally as in this vicinity. I would suggest that each bee keeper report to the Chief the condition of his bees, up to say May first. To begin, I would say, but August I bad about thirty stands; the first ef May, this year, I have none. Let us hear from all, so that when we restock our apiary, we can unite and all get the Italian bees from seme one of the large apiaries. Now is probably the beet time we may have to stock the country, so that we eaa be safely secured from honey famine.
