The Canadian Government is growing uneasy over the influx of Mormons into the Northwest provinces. The efforts now being made in China for the construction of their own heavy guns promise to be very successful. Bradlaugh. the infidel English agita¬ tor, strongly urges a soveoty-five per cent, cut in “the wages of Queen Victoria.” Russia is said to be farther behindhand than any other country in what are con¬ sidered the requisite tools of the trade oi war.

According to a German militarj journal, no less than 150,000 young men in Alsace-Lorraine have since 1S74 evaded military service. The population of school age in the United States is about 20,000,000. The number of children attending Sunday, school is estimated at 7,000,000. In Maine the mortgages on the farms of that State have been reduced, figures the New York Telegram from nineteen , In twenty to one in twenty. Foreign powers have lately taken up the discussion as to whether or not war correspondents were to be allowed to take part in future campaigns. Very good, cheap land is rapidly dis- ippearing in the United States,announces the Chicago Sun, and speculative hold¬ ings are increasing at an alarming rate. Wyoming has a smaller percentage ot Illiteracy, asserts the New York Mail and Express, than any other State or Terri¬ tory, and Dakota and Oregon follow' her closely. It is predicted that a substitute will be found for iron within the next twenty-five years, but if this comes true it is ten to Dne, boasts the Detroit Free Press, that a i ankee discovers it. Lumber is reaching market from a much larger number of places than a few years ago, discovers Goodall's Sun, and hence the influence of lumber centers on the market is declining. To the American Statistical Association Mr. Amos G. Warner has lately furnished a paper in which he argues that poverty is u disease, although he does not con. tend that it has its distinguishing mio robe. Queen Victoria, Julia Ward Howe anc Walt hitman have celebrated tbeii seventieth birthdays wdthin the last few weeks.

At the rate the population of Norway is now r leaving that country for the United States not one will be left there in fifteen years, and the world can use the ' acan t spaces, suggests the ingenius De¬ troit Tree Press, for cold storage pur- poses. Merchant John AY anamaker savs his eo operative plan of distributing a portior ot his profits among his employes has nol been a success, and he proposes to appoint a committee of his clerks to devise some- thing that will be more satisfactory all around. Thc fact has just leaked out that Presi¬ dent Garfield died entirely alone, “At the time of his death,” records the Atlanta Constitution, “his doctors and attendants had all loft the room.

The overflow of the Kong-Ho River iu China iu December, 1887, drow ned nearly a million of people and drove many of the survivors to cannibal¬ ism. The famous Leaning Tower of Pisa has been put up for sale by lottery. The municipality of Pisa having been greatlv straitened for money on account of ex¬ pensive improvements, offers the tower for sale, in order to prevent the town hall from being seized, aud lias adopted the method of a lottery so as to get the high¬ est price possible. Among the very remarkable incidents of Lord Lonsdale s journey due North is his meeting in the Arctic Zone, remarks the New York Independent with the , nation called the Caribou & Moose Mc¬ Kenzie River Esquimaux, which sounds like a firm, and “the Long Firm.” They were all six feet high and upward, and much though not handsomely—deco¬ rated. For each mau they kill they cut a gasn in their own cheek as a mark of honor, so tuat their face becomes a sort of alpenstock of homicide. The phrase “an ugly customer,” must be one ex- dingly appropriate among these war¬ riors. \ GENERAL NEWS.

Judge Horton, in the circuit court at Chicago, Ill., on Monday, decided that the law requires a written complaint in every case of arrest by the police. Heie- tofore, this has not decisb been required, and the effect of this n, if carried to its legitimate result, will be to release about six hundred prisoners from the house of correction. The celebration at Adair, la., on the fourth, had a serious termination, neatly a hundred people having been poisoned by eating ice cream. They were at a gen¬ eral picnic, and after dinner the people by scores were taken with terrible pains. It was found that the ice cream was made in some new cans, and it is thought that sulphate of zinc from the cans entered the ice cream. The big brewery ot F ilk, Jung& Bar- ehert, in Wauwatesa, just beyond the city limits of Milwaukee, Wis., was to¬ tally destroyed by lire Thursday after¬ noon. The loss is $1,000,000, and there is an insurance of but $300,000. Two hundred meu were thrown out of em¬ ployment until the firm can rebuild.

It was reported to the police at Mil¬ Louis waukee, Wis., on Friday evening that Houghton, Cherier, cashier of the bank at has disappeared Avith a la ; ge amount in his possession. It is not known definitely, but it is surmi-ed that Cherier has in his possession money which was to be used in the paying off of the employes of the Hecta and other great mines. If that is correct, he has with him something over $50,000 in The jury in the Mungenmaier murder case, returned at Charleston, S.

Heilman, vice-president of the company, is interested in the milling bus¬ iness, and that the firm gets a rate of six cents, while Webb & Co. have to pay eight in cents. It is the first case brought court under the inter-state commerce bill, and will doubtless be taken to the United States supreme court. It is to be a test case. Large quantities qr goto com rrom soutn America are passing through Antwerp for Russia and Austria, the same as in the Frau co-German war. A 8HOOTING AFFRAY. A LOT OF COLORED PEOPLE GET INTO TROUBLE NEAR BIRMINGHAM, ALA. A bloody affray among negro gamblers occurred at Gate City, six miles from Birmingham, Ala., Sunday morning. Henry Nioholls, Jack Saunders and Bub Dickson were killed and three other par- ,i es wounded, two of them seriously. A crowd of negro gamblers were shooting ‘‘craps in the Roods. Henry Jucho.ls and Wmeou Wh,m juatre. ed over* fhe L, inflicting a dangerous wouu°d. Nicholls fled and the other gamblers or- gsnized a pursuing hoarded party train to capture him. The paity a for Binning- ham, all of them well armed. At the next station Nicholls got aboard the train and as he entered the door he caught sight of his black pursuers. His pistol was in his hand end he opened fire at once, creating a panic on the train. Nich- oils fhot Jack Saunders through the head and Bob Dickson through the lungs, killing them before Smith, they could rise from their seats. Will of the pursuing party, had a finger shot off and Jick Chaney, a white hrakeman on the train, was shot in the body and dangerously wounded. His pistol was emptied by this time and Nicholls leaped from the moving train. At this, the other negroes seemed to regain their nerve and opening fire they riddled Nicholls with balls and buckshot. He fell dead in his tracks, one side of his head being torn off by a heavy charge of buck-shot. All the ne¬ groes who had been engaged in the shoot¬ ing and were not killed or wounded leaped from the train und escaped. BOTH KILLED. A SHERIFF AND HIS DEPUTY ARE KILLED IN ATTEMPTING TO ARREST OUTLAW'S. A dispatch from Chadwick, Mo., re¬ ports a double murder at Sheriff Kerberville, Mo., on the 4th icst. G. E. Branson and his deputy were both shot down and instantly killed by the two noted Miles brothers—Bill and Jim. It appears that the sheriff and his deputy sought to arrest the Miles brothers on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. The deputy made the first demand for the surrender of the outlaws, and not knowing their dangerous character, ac¬ companied the command with an attempt to draw his pistol. Jim Miles, the younger of the two brothers, anticipated the officer’s movement, and had his pistol out in an instant firing one shot before the deputy could aim his pistol. Young Miles dropped the officer dead. Seeing the danger of the deputy’s situa¬ tion, Sheriff Branson drew his pistol and leveled ou Jim Miles, but not in time to render the doomed man any assistance. Before the sheriff could shoot, Bill Miles lmd covered Branson with his pistol and fired. Branson Avas killed by Bill Miles’ first shot, hut firetl three times at Jim Miles before falling. A large company of men took the trail of the fugitives and gave them a hot chase, and ou Sunday, Jim Miles Avas captured near Forsyth, Mo., unable to flee further on account of his wounrls, which are thought to be fatal. Bill Miles, the older brother, and the slaver of Captain Kinney, e caped. NUMEROUS HUSBANDS. A NORTn CAROLINA WOMAN HAS FIVE LIV¬ ING HUSBANDS.

The li¬ cense Avas promptly issue.!, hut before it had been used it was discovered that the woman was already married, and her husband was yet living. Further 6he inves¬ tigation reve aled the fact that Avas a bigamist, and consequently a Avarrant for her arrest Avas put in the hands of an officer. She was arraigned before a jus¬ tice of the peace. The evidence accumu¬ lated against her, and it soon was proven that she has now living five husbands. The woman is only about thirty-two years old. Hex son, a lad about sixteen years old, testified against her in court. She married the first time at fifteen, aud has lived with no one husband more than eighteen months. She married first in 1872 to Amos Johnson, and separated the following year. In 1875 she married A. B. McCowe, and lived with him till Christmas of 1876. Again, in 1878,she married Red Abram McElmore, and left him in 1879. In 1885 she married Paul R. Holton, and left him the same year. She married William R. Ferguson last year, but only lived with him a few weeks. All are now living. All parties ha\ r e been bound over to the ciiminal court. WANTED m SHAVE. A MAN IS ROBBED OF TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS BY A SUPPOSED BARBER. Several days ago a man named Henry Hage,went to Minneapolis,to be married. Tuesday morning last he left the house to get shaved. He found no one at the shop, and while on the way back was accosted by a stranger, who told him he was a barber and would take him to his house and Avould shave him. Hage ac¬ companied him and they had proceeded but a short distance when tlr_- newly- made acquaintance dashed a quantity of v triol into Hage’s face. Hage was then taken cut in the woods and robbed by the stranger and his accomplices. After robbing him of about $20,000 in the form of two negotiable drafts, the brutes then bound him hind and foot aud tied him to a tree. Hage remained in the woods unconscious, bound and helpless, for three days. Friday he succeeded in free¬ ing himself and Avandered home. He has not yet regained consciousness and may become permanently deranged. There is no clue to the thieves. DAMAGING STORM. FIVE FEET OF WATER IN THE STREETS OF A PENNSYLVANIA TOWN. A heavy rniu-s'orm parsed over Holli- daysburg,Pa., Wednesday night,causing a great flood. The Juniata river rose rap- idly, and by midnight the water s'ood fifieen feet above low water mark, and only two feet lower than the flood of May 31st. The lowt r streets of the town were covered with from three to five feet of water, and many people had to leave their houses, Stores, iron mill and houses on the river bank were all flooded, and truck gardens and faims in the sur¬ rounding country badly damaged.

The vestibule train, eastbouud, on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, was wrecked by a slide in the chute near Ona, W. Va., Thursday morning. There had been a very severe rain, which caused the slide. George W. Walsh, the oldest engineer on the road, and his fireman, whose name cannot be learned, were killed. It was an unavoidable accident. No passengers were injured. The freight and accomodation train which left Charlotte, N. C., Thursday night for Wilmington, met with a bad wreck near Wadesboro. When approach¬ ing Pin chant culvert the engineer dis¬ covered that the heavy rains had com¬ pletely overflooded it.. It was too late tc stop, and consequently the wreck could not be avoided. The engine passed over safely, but the cab with five cars went down and are a complete wreck. On last Tuesday, a new born colored infant was found abandoned in James City, a suburb of Newberne, N. C. When found, it had only some strips of clothes wrapped $150, around it. In Ike bas¬ ket with it was and a can of con¬ densed milk. Investigation C. H. led to the arrest of Rev.

COVERINGS FOR FARLOR FLOORS. The latest thing in floor decorations foi parlors is a variety of matting with check¬ ered figures. It has become very popular, and promises to supersede all the material this summer as a floor covering. Many of the designs are striking and attractive, and the stuff is quite durable. In pur¬ chasing it, however, care must be taken to select only that which is closely woven. Loosely woven straw matting, like loose¬ ly woven ingrain carpets, wear out very rapidly, and the trifling amount addi¬ tional which will be paid for matting closely woven will be made up by its durability. Handsome rugs are almost indispensa¬ ble adjuncts to the straw matting. Also wicker chairs and settees, tastefully deco¬ rated with chair scarfs, while the pianc cover must be of heavy material of lighf colors.— St. Louis Star-Sayings. THE FAMILY WASHING. This seems to be the bugbear of al houskeeping, and in fact there is nothing that seems to upset the whole household machinery as w T ash day. It always seemed to me that Monday, of all days, was the worst possible day to select for ibis. Many ladies have stepped out and down from the old custom; some have selected Saturday and others Tuesday. The advantage of Saturday is that it is next after sweeping day, when the bed linen is changed, and then, too, it is a day that so many housekeepers take to scrub their kitchen; if the washing is done the same day one scrubbing day is en¬ tirely done away with. Then, too, Sun¬ day following it gives one day of rest be- tAveen the washing and ironing. If the washing is done on Monday, no matter how much is provided on Saturday in the way of baking and cooking, it is all gone bv Monday, and finds you on that day with only “pickups” for dinner. The advantage of Tuesday is that you have all day Monday to prepare for your Avashing. To repair any serious rents, Avliich are much better done before the starch is in; any patching, Avhich, after it is ironed, is scarcely noticeable. In many families too much preparation for Monday is done upon the Sabbath evening, a time I never like anything to encroach upon. To all young housekeepers I would say —order your own houshold to suit your¬ self, and do not act entirely to please your neighbors. For a family of six put on the boiler two-thirds full of soft water, two table¬ spoonfuls of coal oil, two-thirds of a bar of soap, let it come to a boil. Wet your clothes in clear water, wring out, putting the cleanest clothes in first, let boil for thirty minutes, put yotii' wringer on the boiler and Avring out, and so on, until all the white clothes are boiled, putting in more oil and soap each time. Be sure and have the Avater boil¬ ing hot before putting in the clothes. Rinse thoroughly, blue, starch, and hang out. Should there be any very soiled places, rub on a little soap and put upon the board.— Sunshine. TESTED RECirES.

News from Susanville, Cal., in the Sierra Nevadas says slight earthquake shocks con¬ tinue, and that the people have become so ac- customed to the constant trembling of the earth that they pay no attention to it. These shocks, however, have revived recollections of old settlcrs v , ho prC( iict volcanic disturb- anceslike those of 1850.
