BRAZIL’S COFFEE CROP.
The Recent ly Kmaucipafcd Slaves
Produce a Small Yield.
Some important information was received
on tho New York Coffee Exchange respect¬
ing the situation of the Brazilian coffee crop.
Brazilian coffee, being the only product dealt
in on the exchange, the information at hand
was deemed of the utmost importance. The
best informed houses in Rio now say that as
a yield 5,500,000 bags is a moderate estimate.
The quality good; of careful the crop preparation has, in general, is no longer not
been differences price be¬
profitable, and the in
tween the lower and higher grades are Previous now
much greater than for years past.
estimates of the new crop were fixed at
3,500,000 to 3,000,000 bags, but the severe
drought and excessive licat has reduced the
probable yield so much that, with the con¬
tinued disorganization of labor, about t,500.
000 bags below the regular crop is estimate expected, in
which is considered a moderate
one sense, as 5,500,000 was in another.
The quality of the new crop as shown by
arrivals so far is poor. Washed coffee is very
scarce, and of Serra abaixon none has been
seen. From July I, 1888, to June 30, 1889,
Rioshipped 3,343,883 bags to the United
States, against 1,336,509 in 18S7-8S, and 2,002,-
336 in 1880-87. and 2,449,160 in 1885-80. Things
are still in a transition state; it. has taken
time for the recently emancipated freedmau
to realize that he is free. Many ol the ex
slaves are already reduced to working people for
their keep. The condition of these
will have an important bearing upon the fu¬
ture coffee production of Brazil.
A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Tlircc Men Killed l»y an Accident to
a Threshing Machine.
A terrible accident occurred about noon at
the farm of Charles Dinsmore, eighteen miles
southwest of Aberdeen, Dakota. Three men
were killed and several others seriously in
jurecl by the explosion of a threshing-ma¬
chine engine boiler.
twenty-'liine The engineer, Frank Arnstvoldfc, aged
years, was blown seventeen rods
and instantly killed. William Sheeler, aged
twenty-three, was blown twelve rods, and
was dead when picked up. The fireman, whose
name is unknown, recently from Jackson,
Mich., aged about twenty-five, had his head
blown off.
J. Kritel had a leg broken and was badly
scalded on the other leg and body. Two
others were injured, attached but not dangerously. A
team of horses to a water wagon
was blown into the air and carried several
rods. The wreck of the engine was scattered
all J. over Hhinsky, the prairie. the of the engine,
owner was
absent at the time of the accident. It is su p¬
posed to have occurred from a defective boii
*r which had been used five years and
was cracked and rusty. The threshing crew
was composed mostly of Russians and infor¬
mation is difficult to obtain.

cl<«e and oppressive and that the bosses will
not allow them to o[,en the windows more
than an inch. The bosses claim that, when the

of time watching the people on the street.
About four hundred girls are employed in the

Act U -Old Gentleman: “Very!”—
j Scribner,
The English Sparrow.
Some twenty y tiara ago a peonliar ami
worm infuHtod the trooa in tho parks
jtuhlic plaoea of Now York city. An <-n
tomologist more learned than circum¬
spect suggested that this peculiar English worm
watt tho especial prey of tins
sparrow, and that ii thuthird should he
imported it would soon irinko ducks
and drakes of the peculiar worm. authorities Upon
this hint tho Ne.w York
spake, and they imported a nest of ling
lish sparrows. Wliove.upoti after a time
the peculiar worm disappeared and the
English sparrow flourished. Ho dis
covered a n<-w world and went in to
possess it. He was a pugnacious, offensive ag¬
gressive and generally an fanner’s do¬
bird. He entered on the
main and ate his grain and seeds in do
stmotive quantitii-H. He destroyed tho
fruifs and vegetables be could not con
suffie. Ho was a pugnacious wretch,
who, having but the squeakiest of
voices, undertook to sing down all
American warblers. He failed in that
attempt, and failing he went, to work to
eat up and kill all his rivals. He has
driven away all the ltnrisale I songst rs
who wen-the pi-id-.-.mi delight of our
fields. He is nothing but a nuisance,
and it is pleasant to note that the gov¬
ernment ornithologist, Dr. Merriam,
has so reported. The doctor declares
that this t jiurro v is of no account what
