Where a man and his wife are lost at
sea the law always supposes that he, be
ing the stronger, survived her by some
minutes or hours. In seven different
cases followed up in the French courts
within the last ten years it was found
that the wife outlived her husband, and
the practice of the law had to be re
versed.
The genius that led to the manufac
ture of wooden nutmegs, some years ago
—a genius for making money by filling
one’s fellow men with sawdust, like chil
dren's dolls—has broken loose again.
This time flour, water and some unknown
ingredient like mucilage, take the place
of wood and instead of nutmegs, coffee
—genuine Rio, Java, Mocha, or any de
sired brand—is manufactured.
The report that the Scandinavians in
Utah are rapidly leaving the Mormon
Church is probably not exaggerated.
These people, observes the San Francisco
Chronicle, as naturally as moral as they
are industrious, and they are secured by
the Mormon elders as colonists simply
because they hope to get homes of their
own. When the enormity of Mormon
ism is fully presented to them they are
pretty sure to abandon, the doctrines of
the Saints. Such a revival as is now
being carried on in various parts of Utah
will be anathematized by the Mormons,
but, in the opinion of that paper, the
general public will rejoice over it, as it
means the addition of a number of good
citizens to the Territory.
The eventful fall of the British House

template introducing once more at the
next session of Parliament the black
sheep bill, the object of which is to keep
out of the upper*House those peers who
are a discredit to their order. The bill
will differ from others, iu that it will in
vest a committee of the House, consisting
of judicial peers and certain lay peers,
with the power of penal discipline over
the House of Lords. The actiou of the
committee will be subject to confirmation
or rejection by the House itself, but il
the bill is literally construed upon the
lines designated the membership of the
House of Lords will be materially de

Admiral Shufeldt, of the United States
Navy, tells how the Russians are filching
territory from the Chinese on the bound
ary between Siberia and China. The
means of communication are so poor in
China and the avenues of news are so
few that it is impossible for the Chinese
to keep track of the goings on in their
provinces. The Russians send a regi
ment of Cossacks, with their families,
about ten or fifteen miles into China.
The regiment will settle down, take up
the land and cultivate it. They take up
the boundary stones as they settle down,
and put them at the edge i' tneir settle
ments, and the next year another regi
ment comes along, takes up the land be
low and moves the boundary stone;
further on toward Pekin. These eu
croachments have been going on for
years, and the Chinese cannot understand
the perpetual shrinkage of their nort..
srn frontier.
Details come from France of tne Afri
can journey of Captain Trivier, tile
French explorer. The gallant Captain
stayed for five days with Tippu Tib. tiiu
famous African chief. He says he found
Tippu to be the real master of Centra;
Africa, having far more power than the
Sultan of Zanzibar. Tippu declared that
he did not like the English, and that he
preferred the French, This statement,
however, the New York Sun thinks may
have been mere politeness on his part,
one of Tippu's characteristics is always
to be particularly charmed with the na
tionality of the European who happens
to be in his company, Trivier says he
found that the districts he traversed were
superb in all natural features, and that
the natives were the only bad point. Oa
the east coast o. Africa, t.ae < apt.... be
lieves, the French have no chance oi ad
vancing their interests, as the Germans
nave have nrauy firmly esiaumm established themselves there
after numberless difficulties. The Bn.isn,
he says, are losing ground. Tne Captain

A GREAT SCHEME.
TOR THE RELIEF OF THE FARMER—SENA
TOR v ance’s uu.i,.
Senator Zeb Vance, of North Carolina,
lias introduced into the upper house oi
congress a novel bill, intended as a relic!
measure for the funnel's. Briefly outlined
the bill appropriates $50,000,000 for the
erection of agricultural depositories or
warehouses in each county in tlm United
States where the sheriff and clerk of such
county may certify that the average gross
amount per annum of cotton, wheat,
corn, the oats mid tobacco for produced and preced- sold
in county the lust
ing two years exceeds the sum
of $500,000 at current prices.
The scheme is to allow owners of cotton,
corn, warehouse etc., to deposit the point same produc- in the
nearest the or
tion, and receive therefor treasury notes
equal at of the the date of vftltie deposit of such to eighty products, per
centum net
based ou prices eurrout in the leading
cotton, tobacco and grain markets of the
United States. The bill authorizes the
secretary of the treasury to prepare treas
ury notes iu sueh amounts as may be re
quired to do business, but no notes so
prepared are to lie of less denomination
than one dollar or greater than $10.00.
These notes are made receivable for eus
toms, and are to be legal tender for all
debts, both private and public.
The main object of the bill is to have the
government lend money to the farmers at
tlie low interest of one pcrccntum per
annum. It. will allow a farmer to hold
his goods, if lit; cares to, for a better
market without paying the enormous
rates charged by banks and unlicensed
money lenders. It heads off aft trusts
snd comoiniitious, and if it could become
i law the supposition is that peace and
plenty, il not luxury, would once more
oltta.ia throughout the land.
