A second crop bulletin of the Manitoba Government, issued to-day, referring to the spring wheat crop, says: " Correspondents invariably gave what in their opinion was as correct an estimate as possible of the average over their respective townships, and a careful compilation of these show that a yield of 108 bushels to the acre will be realized over the Province. The reports vary from 3 bushels in some townships to 35 and 40 in others. Taken by groups the eastern show an average of 14 5 bushels per acre, the southwestern 11.7, the central 15:2, and the northwestern 173. The counties of Souris River, Rock Lake, Turtle Mountain and Dennis show how great has been the destruction by gophers. Shoal Lake has also suffered largely, but the loss has not been as general as in other places named. The average yield of cats is placed at 21.5 bushels, barley 19.3 and peas 12.5. The total number of farmers in theProvince is placed at 13,320, and the average amount puiunder crop by_each _5§.2 acres.{’ 7 ‘ Hon. Mr. Dewdney, Minister of the In- terior. arrived here to-day by the Pacific express, accompanied by Mrs. Dewdney, Senator McInnes and his secretaries, Messrs. McGirr and Chisholm. A deputa- tion representing the old settlers waited on the minister and presented him with a largely signed petition asserting their claims, which have been published several times, and urging the early settlement thereof. The petition was presented by Mr. LaRiviere, M.P. for Provencher. In reply Mr. Dewdney said he could say noth- ing in reference to the general claims set forth in the petition until he had consulted hiigolleagues. V 7 The Sun to-night says : Whatever may have been the intention of the Government three weeks ago in regard to remodelling the educational system, recent events, more especially the resignation of Mr. Prendergast, have sealed the fate of the Separate Schools, and the decision now is to make a clean sweep of them and settle the question once and for all. The French language will also be wiped out. The statement that Mr. Prendergast’s resigna- tion was accepted was an error, as he attended a meeting of the Council yester- day. It will be accepted, however, on Mr. Greenway’s return, as it would be impos- sible for Mr. Prendergast to remain under the circumstances. It is stated upon good authority that Mr. Prendergast will con- tinue to support the Government in its general policy. Mr. H. J. Clarke, Q. 0., today withdrew the charge of criminal libel against Mr. Cyr, ex-M.P., for circulating libelous post- ers respecting complainant during the Pro- vincial election.

A Halifax despatch of Wednesday says A terrible suicide was committed at the mili- tary camp on Macnab’s Island at 5.30 o'clock this morning, the victim being Pri- vate Josaph Hill, of the West Riding Regi- ment. Hill was engaged as cook in the officers’ mess on the island, and last even- ing, was placed under arrest for some petty offence. but was not put in confinement, being what is known as a “ prisoner at large.” This morning he took a. loaded rifle, placed the muzzle fairly in his mouth and pulled the trigger. The top of his head was blown off and the pieces scattered in various directions. The body was brought up to the city to-duy. Hill was a. young man. _ At a large meeting of citizens to-night it was decided to erect a. public monument in memory of the late ex-Premier, John Nor- The Government will not at present fill the vacant Provincial Secretaryship, and it is likely that the French representation will be ignored. It is not improbable that a constituency will be made by which Mr. Martin will assume the new portfolio of Minister of Education, and some new man will be called in for one of the existing pogtfolips. There is in London a corporation, com- posed of men and women, calledthe Ladies’ Residential Dwelling Company. This company has already erected dwelling- houses in Gcwer street and Sloan Gardens for the use of educated women who are obliged to earn their living and to live in lodgings. It is now proposed to build a block of these dwellings in Hampstead. These buildings are arranged in sets of flats, renting from 10 to 25 shillings (from $2.50 to $6.25) per week, or from £2 to £5 per month. There is a cooking" range Set in each suite, but there is also a. large general dining-room connected with each house, in which dinner is served after the work of the day is finished.

A New British Colony Formed at Old Calabar. The question of the future government of the West African oil rivers from Benin to Old Calabar is being investigated by Her Majesty's Commissioner (Major Claude Maxwell McDonald), who is now on the coast, and has held a “ palaver ” with the kings and chiefs at Old Calabar. From a recent report it would seem that two pro- posals were placed before the natives for their consideration. The first was that the oil rivers should be governed by a royal chartered trading company, and the second was that the rivers should be made into a Crown colony. The candid opinion of the natives was asked by the Commissioner, who gave the natives time to consider the matter before replying. They were also requested to ask any question they wished, but they were not to ask the probable amount of taxation, as that question could not then be answered, though for their in- formation they oould get particulars of the duties which are now levied at Lagos and in the Royal Niger Company’s territories. The natives retired, and next day they one and all decided to accept a Crown colony, preferring to be under the direct rule of Her Majesty‘s Government. It is further stated that the missionaries were also in favor of a Crown colony. Members of his family were then sent for,bnt they professed to see nothingin the dead man’s features that resembled their relative. His wife, his brother-in- lsw, end a daughter 22 years old said it was not be, but when the dead man‘s little 14-year-old daughter visited the place alone the story was told.

A last Wednesdny night’s cable from London says; The coroner’s jury to-day returned a. verdict that Alice Mackenzie, the latest victim of Jack-the-Ripper, was murdered. The verdict is onapar with much of the matter in the summing up by the coroner. He said there were grave doubts of her respectability, though it was proven she had lived for six years with a man not her husband, and was open to in- ducements from anybody else.

REJUVENATING CRIMINALS‘ Jackâ€"the-Ripper Will Laugh. VOL XII OUR YOUNGEST SISTER. HE ARTLESS RELATIVES. Anything But That. After the Shooting Deputy U. B. Marshal Nagle backed up against the wall of the dining-room and warned everyone not to arrest him, saying he was a United States officer in the discharge of his duty. There was no semblance of any attempt to arrest him. Constable Walker took Deputy Nagle from the train at Tracy and proceeded with him to Stockton, where he is in jail. Dis- trict Attorney White has ordered the arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival is Sam Francisco. The announcement that Judge Terry had been killed caused extraordinary excite- ment here. The scene of the tragedy is 83 miles from this city. The possibility of an encounter between Terry and Justice Field has been recognized ever since the impri- sonment of Terry for contempt of court ten months ago. Terry was at one time Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California and has always been a prominent figure in the political history of the State. He was married to Sarah Althea Hill, who claimed to be the wife of ex-Senator Sharon, while prosecuting her claim against the Sharon estate. Justice Field last year rendered a decision denying her claim to be the wife of Sharon. Mrs. Terry created a scene in court, charging Justice Field with being corrupt. The woman resisted a deputy- marshal who tried to remove her. Terry interfered, drawing a dagger. He was dis- armed, and Terry and his wife were adjudged in contempt and committed to jail. Justice Field went to Washington, returning to this city six weeks ago. News- paper articles were printed intimating it would be dangerous for Justice Field and Terry to meet personally, as it was thought the latter might insult the former, while the fact was also recognized that Justice Feld would be quick to resent an attack from Terry, knowing it could only result fatally to one or the other in view of Terry's record. Terry was born in Ken- tucky in 1823. He served in the Texan army under Sam Houston. He came to California in 1849, and in 1855 was elected Justice of the Supreme Court of California on the Native American ticket. Upon the death of Chief Justice Murray in 1857, Terry became Chief Justice. He opposed the Vigilance Committee of 1856 and stabbed one of the members who attempted to arrest his friend Maloney. Terry killed Senator Broderick in 1859 in a. duel as the result of political differences. Previous to the entrance of Constable Walker into the car Sheriff Purvis and his deputy, of Stanislaus County, had already taken charge of Negle. During the time the train was standing at the depot Mrs. Terry was runningwildly alternately from the body of her husband to the sleeper, demanding admittance, that she might slap Justice Field’s face, and at the same time beggingthat they be detained and have their examination here. Then ensued a scene of the wildest ex- citement. People rushed from the dining- room and others rushed in. During this time Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle retreated to a sleeping car, where they were securely locked within. At times Mrs. Terry would call upon the citizens to arrest them. Before the train pulled out Constable Walker entered the sleeper and was carried away on board. He informed the spectators that he knew his duty and would perform it. ‘ A Stockton despatch says: The coroner arrived here at 11.40 to-day with Judge Terry’s body in sbox covered with white cloth. Mrs. Terry rode in the express oer with the remains. Deputy-Marshal Nagle was brought here from Tracy in a. buggy. He refused to be interviewed, but said, “ I am a. Deputy United States Marshal and simply did my duty as anofficer.” He was locked up alone and soon after sent for the local attorney. Nagle was very cool and determined, but looked pale. A warrant of arret was served upon Justice Field at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the latter’s chambers. A writ of habeas corpus was at once sworn out before Judge Sawyer, of the Circuit Court, and heard by him in Chambers. The Supreme Court of the State of Cali- fornia, of which the late David S. Terry was formerly Chief Justice, this morning refused to adjourn out of respect to Terry’s memory. This decision was announced from the bench, and the reasons given were that Terry resigned his judicial position to fight a. duel, and that he was killed while in the not of assaulting a. justice of the United States Supreme Court. A Boston despatch of yesterday says The Nova Scotia sohooners Francis Arthenius and Aurora Borealis, arrived in port to-day and were held by the Customs officials in libel'for $1.000 fine on a charge made by Captain Fengar, of the revenue cutter Woodbury, of having been in Ameri- can waters over 24 hours and not reporting at the nearest custom house. It seems the two vessels were on August 1st in Passa- maquoddy Bay, near Quoddy roads, during very thick weather, and both captains claim they were becalmed in the fog and could not tell whether they were in Ameri- can or Canadian waters until after the prescribed time. They have both appealed to Washington to have the fines remitted, but will be held until the national authori- ties have been heard from. Lymeâ€"Yes, I copied them myself from the originals, some of which were perfectly hon-id. Blytheâ€"Your autograph album is one of the finest I have ever seen.

Supreme Court Judge Stephen J. Field and. Deputy U. S. Marshal David Nagle walked into the depot dining-room for breakfast and sat down side by side. Soon afterwards Judge David S. Terry and wife came in. They were proceeding to another table when Mrs. Terry, evidently recognizing Justice Field, did not sit down, but retired to the train for some unknown purpose. Before she reached it, however, and as soon as she had left the dining-room, Judge Terry approached Justice Field and steeping over him slapped his face. At this juncture Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from his seat and shot Judge Terry through the heart. As he was falling the Deputy Marshal shot again. but missed him, the bullet going through the floor. The Judge did not utter a sound. He had hardly fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of her husband’s body and threw herself upon it. A California Marshal Shoots Down an ex-Judge. A DINING CAR TRAGEDY. THROUGH THE HEART. Yankees Paying Us Back. RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1889. A Revised Edition. Tomorrow’s Lancet, after a thorough review of the medical testimony, will say 2 “ We can have no desire that the royal prerogative of mercy should not be exer- cised in this case, but as aduty to theliving relatives of the deceased, to a painstaking, fearless and honest jury, and to one of the greatest ornaments of the English bench, we solemnly assert as our unbiased opin- ion that the verdict arrived at in Mrs. Maybrick’s trial was warranted by the evidence." A last Friday night’s London oable says: The Press Association states that Home Secretary Matthews will recommend to the Queen the commutation of the death sentence of Mrs. Maybrick to penal servi- tude for life. and that the commutation of sentence will be announced after the Queen has given her formal assent. The Home Secretary and the experts assumed that Mrs. Maybrick was not guilty, and acting upon this assumption sifted every scrap of the testimony given, especially that in rela- tion to the husband’s craze for arsenic, which is of great weight, and will, it is believed, turn the scale in the prisoner‘s favor. It is a noteworthy fact that the Lord Chancellor is seldom consulted in such cases except yvhen s. reprieve is meditated. Lord Herschel coolly stated that it was impossible to obtain attention to the neces- sity of any particular reform except when the public mind was excited on the subject. He trusted the matter would be seriously considered bv the Government at the com- ing recess, as there was undoubtedly a wide-spread ieeling that such a tribunal would give additional security against in- justice and against such an agitation as the suspicion of injustiuo created. A despatoh from Norfolk, Va., says a well-known woman of this city, Mme. Mary Hogwood, yesterday went before a notary and made oath to some startling statements concerning the late J ames Maybriok, whose wife is now under sentence of death in Liv- erpool. charged with her husband’s murder. Despite the bad character of the woman, she hears a fair reputation for truth and veracity, and hex~ affidavit will be accom- panied by letters from several of the moat respectable men of Norfolk attesting that fact. Hezj statement is as follows: Know all men by these presents. That I, Mary Hogwood, residing in the city of Norfolk, Va., do unhesitatingly say that I knew the late James Maybriok for several years, and that up to the time of his mar- riage he called at my house, when in Nor- folk, at least two or three times a week, and that I saw him frequently in his differ- ent moods and fancies. It was a common thing for him to take arsenic two or three times during an evening. He would always say before taking it, “ Well, I am going to take my evening dose." He would pull from his pocket 3 small vial in which he carried his arsenic, and putting a small quantity on his tongue would wash it down with a sip of wine. In fact so often did he repeat this that I became afraid that he would die suddenly in my house, and then some of us would be suspected of his mur- der. When drunk Mr. James Maybriok would pour the powder into the palm of his hand and lick it up with his tongue. I often cautioned him, but he answered : “ Oh, I am used to it ; it will not harm me." One of the vials used by Mr. Maybriok to carry arsenic was left by him in my care during his last visit here ; and I shall be glad to turn it over to the authorities if it can be of any use. I have been quite ill for a long time â€"-so sick that I have paid little attention to the newspapers, and therefore I knew hardly anything about the facts concerning the alleged murder; but knowing Mr. Maybrick as I do and his habits, I am not surprised in the least at hearing of his death, and do not believe that his wife had any more to do with causing his death than I had. I have always believed that his habit of greenic eating would_carry him off. Didn’t; Agree With Him. An Eastern man who moved to Chicago lost 120 pounds in three weeks. His wife sloped with a car driver. The press is still filled with communica- tions from people who claim Mrs. Maybriok is innocent. Mrs. Maybriek may be pos- sessed of many desires. but one is pre- eminent‘ From morning till night she en- treate to be permitted to write to the Queen. She has not been allowed to do so. She is but a wreck of her former self. Her attire is blue home-spun, her food is regular prison fare. To-day her mail consisted of eleven hundred letters. None containing a reference to the case are given to her, so that she is not allowed to read many. Baroness von Roque wanted to give her a peach to-day‘ but was not permitted to do so. THE late Dr. Dio Lewis said : “The truth is, the medical profession stands dazed and helpless in the presence of more than one kidney malady.” He also said: “If I found my self the victim of a serious kidney trouble I guild use Warner's Safe Cure." The face of the Lord Chancellor became covered will] a. hue that betokened a rapid approach of apoplexy. He could only imperfectly express his regret, he said, that such a question should be raised. It was a matter he preferred not to discuss at such a time. A Thursday’s London cable says : The Maybriek case found its way into the House of Lords to-day and ruffled the tem- per of the Lord Chancellor to an extent absolutely dangerous to his health. In language mild and choice Lord Fitzgerald asked if during the coming recess the ques- tion of constituting an effective Court of Appeal in criminal cases would be consid- ered, and if it were deemed expedient would the measure to effect such an object be pre- seated. All sorta of rumors touching Mrs. Mny- brick’s health are afloat. Herlateat ail- ment i‘a quick gongumption. _ Mrs. Briggs was about the only interest- ing feature oft-he case to-day. Goaded by the interview with Baronesss Von Roque, Mrs. Briggs came to the front and denied that she had worked up the case against Mrs. Maybrick, of whom she was a. friend, she affirmed. Mrs. Briggs contradictea herself curiously. In the first part of the interview she said she hna first heard of the poison when the women Yapp told her that her mistress was poisoning the master. Towards the finish of the interview she said the idea of poison never entered her head until the doctor refused the death certificate. Petitions Being Numeronsly Signedâ€"Mrs. Briggs’ Contradictory Story. A Wednesday’s London cable says: There are no new developments of importance in the Maybrick case. The army of letter writers are still filling the newspaper offices with waste paper. Ho e Secretary Mat- thews, in spite of the flange of letters and petitions, keeps his own counsel. Fifty-two members of Parliament have signed the memorial asking for a commutation of Mrs. Msybrick's sentence. The signers of the petitions in Liverpool number 46,000. THE MAYBRIGK CASE. A Zanzibar caBle of Friday says The Sultan’s principal adviser Mohammad Bakashmal, to whom I recently referred, since the deportation of Leesperadewjee, his predecessor, has been conducting pub- lic affairs and exercising a most nefarious influence upon the Sultan, has been exiled, and leaves by the French mail at the end of the month. The British war vessel Mariner left for Seychelles this morning. The Cossack is expected from the opposite coast to replace her. The men~of-war now in harbor are the British Agamemnon and Griffon, the German Pfest and Cariola, the American Swatara, and also one French and one Italian. The Griffon is now moored just below the palace on the north- west side of the town, so as to be able to shell any party coming from the district called Melinda, which is inhabited by Hin- dees and Arabs and their slaves. If an outbreak should occur, it is there it will commence, and then after the rioters have plundered the Hindees they will repair to the German Custom-house and wreck it. The Agamemnon is moored off the con- sulate. Everything is ready on board the British and German ships to assist in maintaining order. To-day the place is unusually quiet. Although it is Friday, there has been no selambik or parade of troops, the Sultan having shut himself up in his country house. Some soldiers are on guard in the streets, chiefly in the Hin- dee quarter. There is almost a panic among the well-to-do Arabs, Who fear an occupation. The fall of the Sultan's chief adviser has completely set aside all idea of a rising, and Zanzibar is now quiet. Patients on Whom the Elixir ls Tried Die â€"â€"Was It or the Doctors to Blame ‘I A Friday night's Cincinnati dispatch says 2 Last Saturday Dr. George K.'1‘aylor. one of the best physicians here, invited Chas. S. Steele, who was almost helpless from paralysis, to enter his office, and the doctor injected a quantity of the Brown- Sequard‘ elixir in each of his hips without Steele knowing what it was. The man suffered intense agony, but was told that he would soon get well. The agony was so great that on Monday he called on Dr. Taylor, who told him the more pain he had the more complete would be his final re- covery. Yesterday Steele sent for Dr. Watson, who found the inside of Steele’s thighs terribly infiammed, swollen, and in amottled condition, as if gangrene had set in, though it may prove only blood poisoning. Steele has a high fever and is out of his mind. He has a large family, which he supported by taking orders for coal, His friends have retained a lawyer to sue Dr. Taylor for heavy damages. fl SHAMOKIN, 13‘s., Aug. 16.â€"George Robert- son, of Mount Carmel, has died from the effeets of an injection of the Brown-Sequard elixir, made in his breast. He suffered from inflammation of the bowels. The new remedy was administered by a competent physician, but its first effect was to make the patient almost delirious from pain. He died in two hours after the operation. Pilgrims to Knock. A Thursday’s Dublin cable says : About 40,000 persons visited the celebrated Shrine of Knock to-day. The vast throng par- ticipated in the customary devotions. Several masses were celebrated, followed by a procession, the spectacle being most impressive. Archdeacon Kavanagh, the central figure, was assisted by several clergyman, including two American priests. In the evening a benediction was given to a large number of pilgrims from England, Scotland and America. Anarchy in Zanzibar. Ayeeterday’e cable from Zanzibar has the following: Last night a party of natives entered the Indian bazaar and commenced threshing the Indian men and women without distinction until they were ultimately stopped by the soldiers. Eighteen arrests only have been made and these men are in the fort. To-day they were flogged. The police arrangements here are infamous. Smash-up on the W. P.R.â€"Three Killed, Many Ind ured. A Pittsburg despatch of last Friday night says: The south bound passenger train on the Butler branch of the Western Pennsylvania Railroud, which left Butler, P5,, at 2.35 o’clock this afternoon, jumped the track at Servers station. and the entire train, consisting of two passenger coaches and a combination smoking and baggage car, went over an embankment and was totally wrecked. Three persons were killed outright and 25 others injured, a number of whom will die. The accident was caused by the spreading of the rails on a small bridge. The rails were on stringers, which had rotted with time and long service. The engine passed over the bridge safely. but the first car was detailed and plunged down into the abyss some thirty feet below. The rails ploughed through the second car, and the escapes were miraculous. TROY, Ohio, Aug. 16.â€"The only experi- ment made with the Brown-Sequard elixir in this town has proved fatal. Dr. Serron used it yesterday upon Wm. Liedel, a. Buf- ferer from rheumatism, and the latter died this morning. Rioters Arrested and Flaggedâ€"Fears of ‘ Another Outbreak. A Zanzibar despatch of Thursday says : Of the eighteen prisoners arrested yester- ‘ day for a raid on the Indian bazaar sixteen were in the employ of the Sultan, one was in the employ of the Germans, and the other, an Arab, had no employer. Each received fifty blows with a stick yesterday, and they are lying confined in the barracks. The riot occurred between 6 and 7 in the evening, but as no police are ever on duty in the streets in the daytimefisoldiers had to be brought from a distant part of the town, and these, after restoring order, patrolled the quarter until 3 in the morn- ing. To-day there was another slight riot in the bazaar between Arabs and Banyans, and two of the latter were beaten. There is still much talk of disturbance brewing for Saturday or Sunday. The authorities should be compelled to have the streets guarded by the police by day as well as by night. The Sultan was absent at his country house when the riot occurred, and ‘ drove into town early this morning. There , are only two German ships here. The ‘ Fifael and Carola have left their moorings and anchored off the German Consulate as a measure of precaution. It is reported that the German Consul has telegraphed to the German commander at Mozambique to return with_the Leipzig. _ Dr. Nansen, the explorer, says that the ice in Greenland is 6,000 teat thick. â€"â€"All things come to those who waitâ€" including disappointment.

I have no desire to take Williamson’s life." “ What I say," Calhoun replied, “ is that I wanted the Legislature to under- stand that your road was offered the Cen- tral in 1887. You came to the Kimball House to see me. Do you remember that? All I want before firing my remaining balls is for you to say that you came to my office in 1887.” King took one pistol and Jackson the other. King placed his in Williamson’s hand. Jackson walked over and handed his to Calhoun. The two seconds took their positions. The principals and seconds formed the four corners of a square. Col. John Seay rushed in and begged the seconds to settle the matter and not allow the fight. “ It is a shame,” he said, “ to have two such fine men stand up here and shoot at one another.” The seconds could not agree upon a settlement, and so announced. It had been arranged that each principal was to empty his pistolâ€"shoot five times. Sud- denly King's voice rang out: “ Are you ready, gentlemen ?” “ Yes,” answered both. " Then fire.” The first shots were simultaneous. Wil- liamson emptied his revolver, the five shots being fired very rapidly. Calhoun fired only once, and then slowly lowered his pistol as Williamson’s bullets were whist- ling past his head. - “ Are you hurt, Pat ’2” some one cried. “ No, sir,” Calhoun cooly replied. “ Williamson, did he hit you?” asked King. “ I was not touched.” Both gentlemen, with smoking pistols in their hands, stood as calm as statues. The silence was broken by the ringing voice of Calhoun. “I will,” replied Williamson, in a clear voice, " provided you will say that you intended no personal rsflutioa up “ I will Withdraw it," replied William- son, “ when you say that you meant no personal reflection.” “ I will do so,” replied Williamson, “ pro- vided you say you meant no personal re- flection.” Capt. Jackson interrupted with : ” Mr. Williamson, have you any respect for me as a gentleman of honor ‘2” “ Ihave,” replied Williamson. “ Well," said Capt. Jackson, “ I say as a gentleman that I would withdraw the statement.” " I am ready fdrryorlifltâ€"o' fire,” was Wil- liamson’s firm reply. “Then We will load and {.‘1_r_e again.” Williamson’s response was : “ It Mr. Calhoun will say that he intended no per- sonal reflection." “Will you withdraw?’ demanded Gal- houn. “ If you say it." “ Will you withdraw ?” again asked Cal- houn. “ I hold four bslls." Kingafipronohed Williamson and, while talking, began to examine his revolver. Capt. Jackson approached quickly and asked what that meant. “ 1 am simply examining Mr. Williamson‘s revolver,” re- plied Mr. King, “ to see if it fired all five bulls.” ' “ Allowvme to speak to Mr. Williamson.” wig-King, his qeoqnd. If you want a real good argument any day touch up the black bass issue among the local fishermen. Some of them say that he is an enemy to all sport, a mean, low-lived, viciou specimen of the tribe of fish who sleep in the mud all winter and is worm-eaten all summer. Fish Commis- sioner Stanley says that the black bass is a splendid mannered, high bred fish, afighter it is true, but an honest fighter, and one of the best food fishes that swim the streams of Northern America. He says that the stocking of ponds with the fish was wise, and that in years to come more sport will be realized with this fish than the sporting men of rod and line have yet dreamed.â€" Lcwiston Journal.

Blotterwick (who keeps a large store) dubiouslyâ€"Hardly possible. I never knew of his paying anything before. “ You may come up and see. That’s all right,” said Capt. Jackson. Calhoun had remained quiet during this talk. but as soon as it ended, and King was withdraw- ing, his voice rang out clearly : “ In my remarks before the Legislative Committee Mr. Williamson personally did not enter my mind.” Then raising his pistol he said: ” With the understanding that you with- draw your remarks after my statement, I fire the remaining shots in the air. I ex- pressly reserved my shots to do this." With these remarks four shots rang out and four balls went skyward. Then Cal- houn approached and the two principals shook hands, and the party started quickly for the car. Entering the gear, Calhoun said : “ Mr. Williamson, we will let this matter end here.” “We will,” replied Williamson, giving his late antagonist’s hand a heurty shake. Details concerning the bloodless duel be- tween Calhoun and Williamson, of Atlanta, Saturday evening show that the affair, though terminating harmlessly, really had exciting and realistic features. When the contestants and seconds reached a battle- ground undisturbed by officers it was quite dark. All around stretched a dense forest, and, while the men’s figures were clearly defined, faces could not be recognized at 10 paces. The men were soon in position, apparently as cool as though the affair was merely a midnight picnic. Capt. Jackson, Calhoun’s second, and Mr. King, Williamson‘s second, met just between the two men. -â€"-A Great Injury Done: “ I’ve been injured by a. statement in your paper.” “ I am sorry, sir.

Williamson Faced Four Bullets Without Weakeninzâ€"No Blood. Character of the Black Bass. A SOUTHERN DUEL. Not Ills Usual Way. Mrs. Gladstone. Margaret F. Sullivan in New York World. Her figure is tall, shapst and impres~ sive ; her carriage is a. little too rapid to be entirely graceful ; her coshuming is-il English, which requires no elucidation. Despite deficiencies in externals, which a. French modiste would have no difficulty in abolishingâ€"for Mrs. Gladstone would be a charming subject for a. dressmsker of taste â€"â€"she would be singled out in any oompsny as its m_ost distinguished woman. The face is uncommonly long even in England, very high in the forehead, and very strong and gentle, equally devoid of romance and of pedantry. The eyes are large, liquid, well-shaped, dark blue, and meditative. The silvering hair is parted in the usual way, and combed in natural waves down either cheek, as in the tamilisr portraits of noted women forty years ago. Her mouth is well proportioned to the other dimensions other face, and her voice is low and vibrant with oordiality toward those she addresses. J apan‘s Future Sovereign Being Educated According to Western Notions. His Imperial Highness Prince Haru,heir apparent to the throne of J apan, is now in his tenth year. A delicate child in his early days, he has happily acquired health and strength as years went by. No im- perial prince in this empire has ever been similarly brought up. The prince’s mode of life is modelled almost entirely upon western lines. He attends the nobles’ school daily, and studies precisely as do his fellow-students. The Ghoya Shimbun says that in both literature and military science he has made extraordinary progress, but of what this bugez’ (military science) consists ,we cannot precisely say. In olden times a noble Japanese began, at a very early age, to study the use of the bow, the sword and the lance, but even in the case of an im- perial prince skill in managing such weapons scarcely continues to be included among essential accomplishments. Doubt- less Prince Haru takes lessons in fenc- ing and equestrianism as a part of his school course, and in archery as a pastime. The Ghoya tells us that he has a cold bath every morning; that his diet is chiefly meat; that he has shaken himself entirely free from petticoat government; that his constant companions are officers and tutors; that he is fond of visiting beautiful scenery as at Enoshima and Atami; that he plays on the seashore and in the woods like any ordinary boy, and that in consequence he is lusty and active. Our contemporary quotes Mr. Takasaki, Vice-Grand Master of the Board of Ceremonies, as saying that it such an education had always been given to the youthful Diamyo, the present repre- sentatives of that body would occupy a very diflerent place in the national polity, and that the history of Japan during the past two thousand years contains no in- stance of the heir to the throne being brought up in such a manner. We learn on the same authority that Prince Haru treats everybody, even to the lowest of those about him, with the greatest cour- tesy; that .he takes a keen interest in his fellow-students at the nobles' school, mak- ing minute inquiries whenever any one of them is prevented by sickness from attend- ing, and that his conduct is in every re- spect exemplary.â€"â€"San Franciso Examiner. Economy in Food. Farmer Sawyer. of Wallingford, had quite an experience last winter with his cattle. His stock of hay ran out, and being unable to get more in time he gave the cows some of the dry leaves he had col- lected for bedding, and he was surprised to see that they appeared to enjoy them. The leaves went so well that he concluded that he wouldn’t get any more hay for a while, and, in fact, leaves were the only thing that the six cows and two horses lived on during the last half of the winter. While eating hay the cows had given 12 quarts of milk weekly, yielding five ounde of butter. After being put on iet of leaves the quantity and quality of milk in- creased until they gave 15 quarts of milk, 3yielding eeven pounds of butter. Mr. Saw- iyer intends to use nothing but leaves dur- ling the winter hereafter, as the leaves can ibe had for the trouble of collecting them, and are better than costly hay or grain.â€" Meriden Republican. When the Shah arrived at Berlin a smell boy, dressed in gorgeous garments of gold and purple, was noticed at one of the windows of the train. Nobody knew who he was, and many stories were current, but it is now stated that the little lad, who is only 5 or 6 years old, and who accom- panies the Shah everywhere, is a sorcerer from Teheran, whose presence is supposed to guard Nasr-ed-Deen from all ills and all misfortunes during his journey.-â€"-0nce a Week. A man never atoope to the means employed by women; he is broader, more liberal, he applies himself to the things which belong to the day, the hour and the object for which we live. Whoever heard of a man losing his temper because his unit would not match his complexion, or fume because six button gloves had been sent when he had ordered seven? What man would faint on Broadway beeauee-lthe clasp that held his hosiery gave way and wriggled on the sidewalk? None! Yet I saw that happen to a woman recently. Yet men are very much like children. Humor them, and they will do your bidding. Make them believe they are always having their own way ; don't let them see the silken net you have woven about them, and they will blandly obey your will ; but once let them believe they are captive and no puny woman’s power will avail against their superior strengthâ€"Marie Jansen. in New York World. Fannnnmox T. Rowers, M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine at University College Hospital, London,England, says ; " Bright’s disease has no symptom’s of its own and may long exist without the knowledge of the patient or preotioioner and no pain will be felt in the kidneys or their vicinity." Ordinary common kidney diseases, many times unreognized as such, will become chronic and terminate in Bright’s (organic) disease of the kidney’s, unless taken in hand. Warner's Safe Cure is the only recognized specific that has ever been dis- covered for this disease. The late Dr. Dio Lewis said, over his own signature : “ I!
