Lin Yang Fu, commander of the Black

longo:
" You French freebooters look like
tigers on the world, seeking how to givo
vent to crafty schemes and cruel deeds,
There is no land for which yonr month

sire to to devour. Religious teaching
you employ to undermine and injure
people. International commerce is to
you n pretext for swallowing countries.
“Your cruelty is infinite. Your
wickedness is extreme. On Jtonr
strength you rely to dot much ou r women,
which excites tho indignation of gods
and men and is unendurable* in heaven
and earth. Now you want to avail your
selves of an excuse to endeavor to ac
quire Annam, and under tho pretext of
international eonuMjroo (o depart from
the treaty, trying to befool the world in
order to givo vent to your mnrtinl de
signs and seize oUics, storm towns,
slaughtering oilloials, roUijng tho rovo

cruelties have rateJmKr and wide.
Yonr crimes aro numerous
for words. Your shame could not bo
washed out though you were to exhaust
the water of the West, River.
“The issuer of QjhoMochimation hav

“This would lie a matter of great re

belonging to tho government, and that
tho traders there aro all respectable,
loyal people, I could not endure that

THE MIIXINIJ INDUSTRY.
l*iow;c*ci of on Kxlrn Fine ISrmlo of Flour
From ifir l'rrirDl Wlirnl Crop.
8. H. Hearn aim, Secretary of the Na
tional Millers' Association, taken an en
couraging view of the outlook for the
flour milling industry in the crop year
which ih now commencing. Hpoaking
on the subject to n newspaper corro
spomlent, he said: “I think we are going
to have a better gradn of flour the com
ing year than wo have had for a good
many years. Starting hh wo are at
pretty low prices, I think the prospaota
for midors aro very encouraging, al
though tho markets, both domestic and
and foreign, are at present very dull,
I noticed by the latest cables that stocks
of flour in London aro lining reduced
quite rapidly, and it would seem that
just os soon as these largo stocks have
gone into consumption wo shall have a
good demand and hotter prices. At
yresent, however, there is no margin of
profit in tho export business. The stock l
of flour in New England is nothing.
Like everybody else, buyers there aro
waiting for lower prices. As soon as
they appreciate tho fact that prices aro
not going to he much lower they will
naturally take hold and lay in slocks,
instead of aa at present buying only
from liand to month.” Speaking par
ticularly of the wheat now being received
hero, Mr. Beamans remarked that, we
were getting a bettor quality ol' wheat
from the spring wheat section than lias
been grown for several pears past. \i
most tho only complaint from millers has
been on account of tho presence of snmt
i in some of tho receipts, a very nmi-ual
thing in spring wheat. Burnt be been
most confined to wintci
Wheat. A great deal of Hie spring
Wheat is going into a lower glade on
account of smut, and there seems to be
no machinery capable of removing il cn
tirely. “I learn,” said Mr. Beamans,
"that a good many of the millers have
Vieen suffering from this smut, but, I
think the inspootiou here now is pretty
thorough in regard to it, so that most ol
it will Ik* kept off No. 2 and the higlici
grades, ”
A Mystery Unsolved..
The mystery of the whereabouts ol
Mary Churchill, the sixteen-year-old
daughter of Colonel Churchill, ol St,
Louis, is still unsolved, and the father is
issuing circulars yet to different parts of
the country giving a description of tho
girl, with her portrait. The case is a
pathetic one in every respect. The giil
has bet'll missing now for two months.
Unless she is in the power of unscrupu
lous persons, or is dead, she eau end the
suspense of her parents at any time.
She is not so completely helpless as a
child would be, even in the hands of ala
doctors, and the supposition which her
parents seem to indulge, that she has
gone on the stage or is trying to get j
there, and still conceals herself from |
thorn, in one that could bo welcome only |
to an agonised father and mother whose |
overwhelming desire is simply to find i
her alive. To others such cold-hearted i
indifference will seem almost i icredible,
and they will l>o inclined to believe that j
it is not in her power to communicate
with her parents.
Eaten Up.—The Bangor (Me.) Com
mercial says that a moil who owns
mud that is overflowed by the waters
of Pusbaw in the spring has made out a
bill against the Slate for the damage
which black bass and white perch have
done by eating the roots of the grass.
A Study of Maize.
If thero is one thing that farmers
writing upon corn require to learn be
fore they can generalize tho directions
for planting or cnlture, it is that there
nro two races of corn, the flint and the
dent, each with its peculiar character
istics in a sense requiring different treat
ment. Thero is also, in all probability,
u variety difference oven within the
same taco of coni. The flint kernel has
•he(peculiarity of ripening from without
inwlkrd. When an ear is plucked in an
edfblo condition from tho plant, and the
corn kernels carefully removed from the
cob so as not to injure tlipm, these ker
nels will grow readily. When this same
flint corn is stooked when just com
mencing to glaze, with somo varieties,
certainly, and perhaps with nil, tho
process of ripening goes on, the kernel
drawing its nutriment from tho stalk,
and tho result seems equally good us
witli that left until riper before being
cut,
Although the prejudices of many years
lend mo to leave corn uncut so long as
tho season will allow, yet so fnr ns ex
perience aud experiment have thus far
gone, oorn will ripen in fho stock from
an earlier stage than would seem possi
ble. How early this flint corn can tic cut
without great loss seems as yet unde
termined. But in cutting corn, oven,
the intelligence of tho farmer requires
to lie brought into requisition. A few
trials on a small seale will tell him, cer
tainly convince him, far more than any
words that I could say. When we come
to dent corn, the circumstances appear
different. Dent corn is more subject to
injury in the seed (ban is the flint. Tho
kernel ripens from outside in. When
out early it shrivels badly. The seed of
an immature specimen seems not to grow
us readily as that from a riper specimen.
It seems probable that, in somo varieties
at least, (lent corn will not endure tho
-hardships of tho early season as well as
will the flint corn.
'Jh • great drawback towards obtaining
satisfactory yields of corn comes from
slovenly culture, and by this I mean
not only tho operations in the field but
tho planning ou the part of tho farmer.
The habit of generalizing from iusuffl
eiont evidonoe, or from one plant to an
other, is universal, and but few of us
aro free from it, A great portion of the
mistakes made in giving advice seems to
come from this custom. If correspond
ents would state accurately tlio varie
ties of com to which their remarks ap
ply there would bo u prospect of greater
good coming from their remarks. Va
riety characteristics are powerful; this
muoh is certain. Wo have not yet ad
vanced fur enough to justify any largo
generalization, but if an observing ex
perience of many years, without accu
rate notation, would justify belief, then
1 can say that for flint oorn early plant
ing seems to lie productive of a larger
j crop than a later planting of tho same
variety.— E. Lnwts Stuhtevant, M. D.
The (Ironl August Sea Wave.
| A letter from Panama shows that the
great tidal wave caused by the Java
earthquake was propagated to tho Pa
cific coast of South America, At Taloo
huano, Chile the ocean roso on August
28th two feet above high water mark,
and tho day after earthquakes were felt
ill Salvador, Colombia and Ecuador.
Alarming detonations about the same
time were heard in all tho towns of the
Bogota plateau, while at Mauabi, Ecua
dor, troops wero turned out ready to
meet the supposed enemy.
| This rooord will enable seismologists
I to ascertath tho extent of the distur
bance caused by tho Java earthquake.
Almost simultaneously with (lie Andean
| earth shocks ami tho Chilean ti
dal wave tho ocean rase on
the California coast, as reported
by Professor Davidson on Au
gust 2ff. In the West Indies ail extra
; ordinary tide rose in the lmrhor of St.
Thomas at half-past seven p. m., Ali
gns! 27. As the tides at St. Thomas
seldom go above twelve inches, and
that of August 27 rose three and a half
• feet and was followed oil the 30th by a
heavy earthquake shock, there eau be
l little doubt that this disturbance was
the result of the terrible commotion
in the Sniula Straits, If to the same
j agency l>o attributed tho destructive
tidal wave which visited our Jersey
coast on August 2S and 29 it wou’d seem
that tile agitation extended to all the
oceanic area around the globe forty de
grees on lioth sides of the equator.
This enormous sea wave as it expand
i'd eastward and westward from the
Indian Ocean produced no fatal results,
as did the famous Ariea sea wave of
August 13th, 18CS. But its disturbing
effects upon the earth’s crust in the
South American earthquake belt must
have been considerable. Though a vast
| ocean wave is the consequence rather
! than the cause of seismic convulsions, it
| will be wise for the inhabitants of the
! volcanic countries recently shaken In
the Java tidal wave to lie on the lookout
forauch convulsions, especially as this
epoch of the century is one often distin
guished by fatal earth throes.
On Duty.
The survival of some economic prac
tice so common in ancient communities
is illustrated by a story told by a rccci t
traveler iu Russia. A sentinel was
served always to pace up and down a
palace lawn, no one knowing why, until
it was discovered in the military ar
chives that once upon a time a solitary
snowdrop Inal appeared upon that lawn,
and the Empress Catherine had ordered
a guard to lx* stationed to prevent the
plucking of the unusual visitor.

STORIES OF FORTUNE.
lIW a Water Well llrrnmo an ll Well
and nn Oil Writ n Water Well.
“Talk about tumbles In the price of
oil,” said a veteran operator on the Brad
ford, Pa., Petroleum Kxchange, “nothing
like the one of tho winter of 18(50 has
been known in the modern days of the
trade. That was the winter that Jesse
Heydrick put down the old Farmers'and
Mechanic*' well, or rather the company
that he formed put it down, and that was
tho first comimny ever formed to develop
the oil territory. The well came in good
for about 3,C00 barrels a day, and half
of it couldn't lie taken caro of, but ran
down the crc ek in a regular flood. Oil
was oil then, and was worth 813 a bar
rel. Pittsburg was the only market, and
wo had only one way to get oil there,
and that was by running it in barges
down the Allegheny River from Oil City.
Of courpo ibwas necessary to have fresh
ets to transport it in this way. ‘The
winter that Heydrick struck his well the
river was frozen over, but ho was bound
to get some oil to Pittsburg. Ho suc
ceeded in cutting a way through, and
ran ten flat boats down. He sold all his
oil for 813 a barrel. Tho next clay a
tlmw set in, and in two days tho river
broke up. Then the boats began to
run, and in a short timo tho market was
overstocked, and in less than a week oil
was selling at 90 cents a barrel.
“The early days of oil production were
attended by many curious incidents.
One of tho queerest was a streak of luck
a well owner struck on the creek in 18(53.
He had drilled a well down to tho third
sand, but found nothing but water, and
tlirco days’ continuous pumping failed
to bring anything else to the surface, so
lie abandoned the well in disgust. Tho
next day a neighbor of liis, who was
operating oil an adjoining lease, came
over to see the disgusted well owner,
and informed him with much excitement
that since, the pumping of water had
ceased at his well great trouble had re
sulted at the other well, which had
yielded thirty bam is of oil a day os long
as tho water was lxung pumped, but
upon tho stopping of tho water pumping
had tilled up with water and produced
no more oil.
“Tho result was that tho man who
owned Hie producing well hired tho less
fortunate operator to keep his pump
going, for which he paid him 810 a week.
The producing well was thus restored to
its former condition, and things worked
satisfactorily for six months, when sud
denly one day tho well that had been
yielding nothing but water began pump
ing oil. and tho -one that had yielded oil
in turn became a water well. Tho
changed situatiou resulted in a lawsuit,
which was won by the owner of the well
that had at first yielded nothing but
water."
Signs of sn Open Winter.
“What kind of a winter aro wo going
to have, uncle?" asked a reporter of an
old squirrel hunter and mink trapper,
who makos his home in tho hills of In
diana.
“I kinder calculate that we will have
a rather mild winter; all tho indications
point to such }”
“What signs do yon go by, uncle?”
“I have a good many signs, and 1
never know one of them to fail yet.
When I say wo aro going to liavo a mild
winter, you can depend ou it. Haven’t
T lived in this country for forty years,
and haven’t I watched tho winters right
along, and oughtn’t Ibo able to tell ?”
"Are tho corn husks thin this year?”
"You had better reokou they are.
There are only two or tiiroo payers of
them, aud they are as thin as calico.
Why, tho oorn is oil dry enough now to
go through a snow without injury. The
olio or two frosts wo liavo had have
uckod all the sap out of it.”
“Aro there any other iudicatians be
sides the corn huskH ?”
“You better believe there are. Now,
when tho sun crossed the lino the wind
blew from the southeast That indi
cates a mild winter every timo. If it
Imd Mown from the north you could have
boon )iro]>arod to hear the wind blow
great guns.”
“Is that nil ?”
“Not by a long ways. I oould tell
you enough to fill a liook. My dog
holed a ground hog the other day. I
had nothing to do, so I set to work and
-lug tho animal out. Ho didn’t have a
leaf or a twig in his hole; hadn’t noth
ing in tho shape of a neat.”
“Isn’t it too early for ground hogs to
make their nest?”
"Now I see how little you know about
a ground hog. A ground hog has his
hole dug, or has picked out his hole, by
Ibo first of September. If it’s going to
Is? a cold winter be bas it filled with
leaves by this time.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Yes. The ooous haven’t commenced
to gnaw the corn. That is a splendid
sign. And another sign, and a sign
that never fails, tho woodpeckers haven’t
■omtuenced to drum. Now, if this was
;oing to be a oold winter all the dead
tves would bo oovered with redheads
pecking away at a hole in which to store
mts.”
“Isn’t it too early for that yet?”
“Not a bit. They should have their
ioii-3 all {locked by this time and be
eady to fill them. There is not a
-mitrter bird than the woodpecker; he
mows what he’s about when he is peek
mr iwayatanold limb from morning

Sr.NATOB Peon, ok Alabama, a dili
gout member of the Committee on La
i)or, recently said; “I liavo been very
much interested in the wonderful
icluevemouts of the New England peo
ple. During the past summer I went

A HUMAN FIRE.
Hie Phenomenon of a llurnlti* Min© lie.

A few yearn ago one of the most important
xml mines in Pennsylvania caught Are. Jt
iterted slowly but mjoi obtained such head
way tliat it spread through the greater por
tion of the entire mine. To flood it with
water would exiingu s'i the fire but well nigh
| ruin the mine; and still the flam s continue!
to increase. At that jun tnre a young man
itep|,d forward and suggested that all the
entrance* and vent holes of the mine l>e cov

ply of air. His advice was followed an! the
flames were Anally mbdued
To compare the con! ton of thb mine with
many phases of the human system m most
natural and appropri tte. “Fire in t!e blood”
is not a riwre expression, it is a most serous
fact. How it originates it may lie impossible
to Bay ; but that it burns and r iges with an
increasing fm y, the one who is its victim
only too painfully knows. The blood is the
life It is dei-fgno Iby nature to lurify,
strsiigthen an I siistnin the system, it is too
ofVn made Ik a channel through which
poi on and death are transported. Poisonous
acids coming through the veins ami arteries
inflame and cause a fire ju ft ns real at the
one which existed in the mine. They burn
and irritate, causing the brain to bo -ome
weak and the ncr\e< tin trung; they carry
pains to the mu c o.anl le.iveagonies in tho
joints; they bring destruction instead of
Hireugth; they devastate tho very portions
of the b aly that inosl roqilire help, and they
hasten the approach of death in its most hor

Abuses by tho Press.
Tho New York Hour, in speaking of
the notoriously sensational articles that
disgrace tho press of late, says ; An
other odious result of this taking the
public along on the hunt is the oppor
tunity it offers to unscrupulous detec
tives to levy blackmail. If that nefa
rious business has not been carried on in
connection with this particular case,
then appearances are sadly deceitful.
The most outrageous ,statements have
Ween published in the papers of this
city, which were furnished by the detec
j lives apparently for tho purpose of
frightening one or two wealthy men into
shutting the mouths either of the detec
tives or the reporters—probably both.
I The stories, as printed, were ridiculously
' improbable; nevertheless they were of a
kind which a man with money would
willingly pay well not to have published.
The daily press of this city is in a great
measure responsible for the present state
of affairs in this case ns in most others.
They sent reporters to the scene of tho
murder—for what purpose? To tell the
main story of the crime, and describe
what took place at tho public sessions of
the coroner’s jury? Certainly all that;
but much more. Each reporter knew
perfectly well when he left this city on
the work, that his place on his paper did
not depend upon his telling what it
was proper the public should know, but
upon his telling just those things which
the public had no business to want to
know, at least at that stage of the game.
For example, if the Times published
one day a story which tho Herald or
TYibune did not have also (no matter
how mprobable), or which the Herald
or the Tribune could not match by an
other equally sensational, the reporters
of the last two papers knew perfectly
well that they would be abused high and
low in their respective offices for ‘‘being
beaten,” and perhaps they would even
lose their places. And still it might be
that the Times's story had lie and
blackmail written all over the face of it.
This is supposing an extreme case; but
it illustrates the point. In a word, the
insane fear in the offices of our great
journals of being “beaten ” is at the bot
tom of most of the abuses of which the
press of this country is guilty at the
present day.

j.iKe ail Evil Spirit.
In dll'-’ ll tunes it was thought that evil spirits came in through cracks
find keyholes. The generally approve and way to keep them out was to plug
up the keyholes and stop the cracks with cotton. Notwithstanding these
1 retentive measures, the evil things had their own way and often came in
as they pleased.
So comes malaria now a-days. We try to keep it out of the keyhole
and it comes mby the crack. \\ e stop up the crack, and lo! it comes from
" leals m o' e phimbing, or an opening from some neglected drain, or from
some unsuspected source and unguarded direction
\ve cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give it battle and
drive its efleets from olir systems. If Brown's Iron Bitters is taken in
*' ne * Palananot a ghost of a dtar.ee. This ; s , , at f aui ;i y ,nedi

An Open

The fact I:i well underslood
that the MEXICAN MUS
TANG LINIMENT is by fat
the best external known for
man or boast. The reason
why becomes an “open
ecr(p” when wo explain that
“Mustang’’ penetrates skin,
flesh ami muscle to the tery
bone, removing ail disease
and soreness. No other lini-
I ment does tiiis. hence none
oilier is so largely used or
does such worlds of good.
