From revelations made iu a Bridgeport,
Conn., murder case, in which a man was
deliberately murdered in order that his
body might be sold to a medical college, it
would seem as if the crime were not an i?o
lated one. One person, a woman, testified
that she wanted to sell her b:Jy, and a
doctor directed her where she might
possibly find a purchaser. That person,
said the witness, belonged to the Yale
Medical School, and told her to bring other
liodies, and that when she was dead he
would buy her corpse An inference, de
ducible from the testimony, is that body
Eclling in the Last is a profession, and that
the people engaged in it are not scrupulous
as to whether the subjects arc dead or alive
at the start ; in other words, men are kil'ed
in order that their bodies may be sold.

While the grain cro-n of America have
been unusually large this year, some of the
older nations will fall far shcrt of .their an
ticipated production. Agricultural pur
suits in Buseia have been impeded by the
war, and much injury has resulted from
drought. The crops in India have cot been
by any means up to the expectation. There
is an estimated deficiency of thirty-two
million bushels in the French wheat crop.
To supply these deficits a great demand
will be made upon American grancries.
This trafic will be an imriortant clement in
expediting the return of jirosjierity, espec
ially in tie.wcst- Kansas, already begins
to feel the benefit "of it, and when her
twenty-five millions cf surplus wheat are
marketed, she will feel it still more sensi
bly. We bate lots of truck" to sell this
year, and all we want to makeonr farmers

The Japanese are an enterprising people;
indeed, they have bten dercribed as the
Yankees of the Eat. In Rtriking contrast
with their stereotyped neighbors of China,
they have made more advances toward con
formity with "Western civilization in a quar
ter ct a century than tha Celestials have
done in three centuries. But they are not
content with borrowing. They wish to re
turn the favors they have received. An

The Chicago Tiilune thinks the actual

from the yellow fever epidemic, will be al
most beyond computation. It eays :
While the Xortli Is giving without stint far
liio relief or the suffering, and reports of
death and distress occupy public Pttentlon,
there Is little thought taken of the real na
ture and extent of the tenlble calamity
which has overwhelmed the fever stricken

From the aprc-rencc of the Recorder,
with its column', week after week, well
filled with shtrifT sales, we should judge
that the Recorder is speaking ironically
when it talks so glowingly ot universal
prosperity in that county. Contraction and
taxation undoubtedly make rcsy-hued
prosperity for the lawyer, the sheriff, and
the printer, but possibly the prospect does
not apiiear so bright to the toor victims.

Some of the newspapers arc inquiring
what has become of the Grand Duke Alex

cut a figure in Xcw York fashionable soci
ety live or six yeara ago. The Xew York
XYma takes up the question, and re
marks :
About the time the Turco-ltns.Ian war be
gan he same over herewith several essels,
and at last s ccounts had sailed from the wa

That U more than twelve months ago, and
nothing lias since been heard, directly or in
directly, of Alexis, to whom a certain senti
mental Interest attaches on the part ot a
number or yonng women, who danced
and flirted with him mildly while be so
journed In this city. There used to be sun
dry stories ot his romantic passion for a
pretty Russian girl In humble station, whom
ho wanted to marry he did marry her, ac
cording to some accounts and of his Impe
rial papa sending him on distant service for
his enactions! Indiscretion. Is it possible
that he has eloped with his Inarcorta, or
that the Czar has thrown him Into a myste
rious dungeon, or banished him secretely to
Siberia, alter the hidden and enigmatical
manner peculiar to Muscovy T Whatever
the cause, Alexis has passed Into so deep and
Impenetrable a shadow that the scores of Eu

bring him back to the light.

The Garnet Journal thinks the LaCygne

a substantial reason for the faith that is

The LaCygne Jmmal Is hard money (Green

Ont of the abundance ot the people's woes

the paper now advocates. It received about
twenty-four columns of Saerlffs sales in one

took nearly two and a half pages, and now
the editor Is running the foreclosures
by the County Attorney under th. new de

It is a well known fact, as the Ittjmlluan

that those on foot have no rights that car
riage people are required to respect; very
few people have ever had occasion to fre
quently cross the streets of a city, who
have not learned by experience that thi is
true, and that although the eroding are
made for footmen, aud that footmen are
entitled to the walk in preference to car
riages, a man must cross at his peril if a
carriage chances to le coming at the same
time. We are glad to know that the St.
Louis justice had the courage to fine a car
driver for violating the rights of footmen,
and hope other officers may profit by his
example. The crossings belong to pedes
trians, just as much as the side walks do,
and drivers should understand this fact.

A Sirs. Clara P. Boss has delivered a
lecture on "Woman's Kingdom" iu Boston,
in which she took ground against woman
suffrage. In closicg, she said :
"So woman's life Is complete without hus
band and children. Never was monarchy so
absolute, never a klugdom so loyal as the
Hock of little ones over whom a woman
reigns. To those women who, blessed by
love, consecrated by wifehood, refuse the
crowning glory of their life, the mtjesty of
motherhood, she said there is no sunshine
like a baby s face, no music like the patter of
its little feet; its prattle sweetens every cup
of disappointment and blunts the edge of
care. The time will come when the hair on
your temples Is gray ; that the heart beneath
which no child has lain will ache for the sa
cred burden; when the claspof little Angers
wlllba passionately longed for ; when to be
called by the dear name of mother would
mke jou a radiant queen."
The Omaha Republican copies the forego
ing paragraph from the lecture of Mrs.
Bom, and says :
All of which Is very fine and much of
which Is very true. Bat Mrs. Boss cannot be
oblll(.us to the fict that although theoreti
cally "no woman's life is complete without
Lusband and children," practically it always
has been Ihataverylnrge.mlLorityofwomeu
have been, and they are still, compelled by
force of circumstances to lead lives not
'complete" in this respect. A considerable
percentage of women, in dense y sett'ed
communities, have neither husbands to pro
tect or provide for them, nor children to
love and comfort them. Now, If lt.were only
the Interests of these that were Involved,
every c:nsideration of reason, morality, pru
deaee and necessity would point to that en
largement of "woman's sphere" which has
been going on for the last quarter of a ceD-
tuty, mainly through the efforts of women
whodemanded the ballot lor taeir sex, and
otherwise s an Indirect result ot this much-
despised, long-suffering "woman s move-

"If Tbcy TO ill Only Ect ns Alone."
Xew Yolk Herald, 6
It is Director Potter of the broken Glas
gow bank, who asks to be "let alone." He
who, with kis brothers of the board, saw
the millions of other leople's money in
trusted to their care poured out in thewild
est speculations upon phantom securities,
now asks to be "let alone." They were "let
alone" too long. When the bank was tak-
irjc acceptences by tht hundred thousand
pounds at a time they Wcnted very much
to be "let alone;" when these highly re
spectable people were lei ding money upon
cattle on the hocf, ranging the Pampas of
South America they were unspeakably anx
ious to be "let olone." A burglar at the
bank safe a week ago would also have
prayed, if he ever did pray, to be "let
alone :" but with all tLe opportunity to
steal that "he could desire he could
not have left such a beggarly bole
in the deposits as these eminently
respectable Scotch and English men
of business managed to make during
the long time they wtre "let alune." They
were "let alone" when cooking the balance
sheet. The wealthy and "canny" people
who got out of the sinking craft, getting
their pejorer but thrifty fellow subjects of
Her Britannic Majesty to take their places,
are happy in the thought that they will be
"let alone" when the assessments for losses
are sent around. Indeed, all concerned in
the management of the bank did so much
toward bursting it when they were ''let
alone" that there is little chance of their
beine onwatched when thev are picking up
the fragments. It is the most refreshing
thine for years, this Director Potter's "if
they will only let us alone." It is, how
ever, approached in coolness by the official
who congratulates the British public that
a loss of four and a half million dollars out
of the grand total of fifty millions falls
at present upon the Rothschilds "so o.uch
clear gain to pair Scotland 1"

Xo one will deny Secretary Schurz' state
ment in his Cincinnati speech that the na
tional banking system is "the best and
safest we ever had ;" even the more ques
tionable statement that "business men de
posit their money as a general thing in na
tional banks with a greater sense of securi
ty than they ever felt with regard to any
o htr banking system," may be passed over
in silence. Let both assertions be admitted.
We never had what could be called a bank
ing system iu this country before the pres
ent national banks were estanlished, and
the Secretary's comparison of the piesent
system, therefore, is with no system at all.
Prior to the war some of the States had no
banks, and the others had each its own
scheme of banking. There was no gen
eral system ; some of the State banks
were Very good, but the ereater number
were worthless, and no man in the country
wi.-hes to see them restored. We speak of
banks of issue ; state banks of deposit still
exi-t, and do a very useful service. Mr.
Schurz is fighting a shadow when he says :
"You call it economy to wipe out this sate
system and substitute for it, as would in
etilabiybe the case, the old state banks,
with the-ir wild-cat and yellow-dog cur
r.ncy, which robbed the people wholesale."
No sue proposes to do any such thing. It
is not desired to substitute for the national
bank currency the old wild-cat and yellow
dog currency of twenty years ago. The
currency proposed to be substituted for the
withdrawn national bank notes is green
back) United States treasury notes and
even Mr Schurz cannot deny that they are
epiile as good as the bink notes.
Mr. Schurz quotes the comptroller of the
curreucv to prove that "if the capi al nec
essary to purchase the $3G3,272,000 bonds
on whieh the national bank notes are is
sued were loaned out by them at eight per
cent, interest the annual income therefrom
would be ?29,0C0,82S, and the difference be
tween this sum and the whole income from
their bonds and circulation which is $9,644,
317, or theC3-100 per cent, on the capital
invested, represents the profits that the
banks would receive over and above what
could be obtained from the loan of the
same amount of capital at the rate of in
terest named " If he means by this that
the banks make a profit of only 63 100 ol
one per cent, on their circulation, he makes
the banks take a great deal of trouble for a
very small profit. A circulation tliat
yields only 63-100 of one per cent,
profit is not worth issuing. The banks
make a great deal more than that on their
notes ; otherwise they would not keep out
$322,000,000 of them. -.Their net profits last
year were 5 62-100 per cent, on their capi
tal and surplus, or about 6J per cent on
their capital alone, which is a much larger
profit than any other interest in the coun
try, agriculture, manufactures or railroads,
yielded the same year. Mr. Schurz says if
national banking is as profitable as Dem
e)crals attempt'to show, "it is a wonder that
not more of you go into so profitable a
business ;" but it may be replied, if nation
al banking is so unprofitable as he and the
comptroller of the currency make out, it is
a wonder that more banks do not go out of
the business.

The Yanderbilt will case is becoming as
complicated and puzzling as the Beecher-
Tilton scandal. It will be remembered that
on the 27th ulL, one Mrs. Lilian Stoddart,
claiming to be the widow of Dr. Charles A.
Stoddart, a clairvoyant physician, took the
stand. She testified that she had met Com
modore Yanderbilt at a Spiritual meeting
in Boston, and afterwards had interviews
with him in the office of the doctor. Sub
sequently, according to her testimony, Wil
liam 11. Yanderbilt entered into a
conspiracy with herself and husband by
whi Jh, in consideration of a certain sum of
money. Dr. Stoddart was to make the Com
modore believe that he was in communica
tion with his dead wife, who would
demand of him that he make a will in fa
vor of William H. Yanderbilt, and to im
press upon him that all the rest of his chil
dren hated him. She testified further that
William paid her husband the money, and
that they had a seance with the Commo
dore, in attendance at which the purported
spirit of his wife appeared and urged him
to make his will in favor of William, as he
was the only one of his children competent
to manage nis business ana the only one
who loved him. According to tbe witness.
the Commodore was very much excited, and
declared "William (hall have all" and
subsequently notified Mr. and Mrs Stoddart
that he should make the will as directed
by the spirit.

against taking our promissory notes or pur

Tbe Grent laue Dinvii In Dixie.
Chicago Tribune, 7
Nearly all the political orators now on
the stump on both sides in the north con
fine themselves almost exclusively to a dis
cussion of the currency question, regarding
that as paramount to all others, but down
in Dixie they have another isMie quite su
perior to any financial scheme that involves
hard or soft money. Gen. Toombs, of Geor
gia, has publi-bed a letter in which he says
that the "first and greatest work to be done
by the Democracy is the destruction of the
Bepublican party," and the Atlanta ConMi
twton indorres the declaration of Toombs,
and adds that "It is the only issue now be
fore the country." Possibly, as soon as
these gentlemen get through with this little
job, they will turn their attention next to a
discussion of finance, the tariiT laws, civi
service reform, the labor cspital controvert
sy, and other questions that seriously con
cern our material prosperity. The de
struction of tbe Bepublican party in tbe
South has been already pretty well started,
it must be admitted, owing to bulldozing,
rill 2 clubs, ku klux, and other similar in
strumentalities, but its ghost, in the shape
of an Independent movement, already
stalks abroad in every Southern State to
frighten and worry the inhabitants. Mr.
Toombs and his Southern Democratic yoke
fellows will bnd the Republican party in
the ISbrth a very lively corpse fcr some
years to come.

The members of the Presbvteritn
association have just completed a
most handsome, neat and commodious
church building. The edifice is situated in
one of the mest beautiful locations in the
citv, and is built of stone and its general con
tour displaying a very pleasicg architectu
ral appearance, ihe audience room is 5x
44 feet and capableof seating three hundred
persons comfortably.5 The seats are arranged
in three tiers leaving two wide aisles the
whole length of the hall.
The walls arc fourteen feet high and the
hall is twenty feet high in the center. The
pulpit stands in front of an alcove and is
the fruits of the energy of the ladies of the
society.
In the rear of the audience room and back
of the pulpit there are three rooms connect
ed to the main room by two doors and to
each other by double folding doors, one of
these rooms is intended as the pastor's
study, and all are to be used as Sabbath
School class rooms. They will also be use
ful as a reception icom for those who come
from a distance to attend service, espec
ially in bad weather, and for sociables, eta,
eta
At the entrance we noticed two grand
steps C by VI feet, of stone, neatlv cut and '
carved. There is a rood basement under-
neath the building for wood and heatinz
iurnace.
The whole structure hag cost about 54,000
of which sum $3,000 has been raised in this
community and the building is now clear
of debt.

Make a Xote of what Remains to be
Done Thtre are a score of things to be
doEe on eTei7 farm that may be considered
of little account singly, but which in the
aggregate make up a serious total. Even
one should look about, note down what
needs to be done, and frequently examine
the record.
CirrriNO Corn Every day tbe corn re
mains uncut, alter maturity, there is lews
Corn gains nothing Ly standing utter the
kernels are elaz.-it, but tbe fueider Io-c
rapidlv in quality. Much of its digestible
matter is changed into woody fiber, becom
ing hard and (indigestible, ihe sooner 11
is cut and shocked, the sooner it can be
boused in safety.
Green tODDER for tPRiNG. Bye may
be sown anv time this month ; the sooner
this better for early spring feed. Sow
thickly, 4 bushels per acre, and fertilize
well. Where the winter are oieo.as in the
harder and Southern States, this will make
excellent winter pssturc and give a crop of
grain or green lodder besides.
Turnip will resist considerable frost and
grow rr pidly in cool weather- If ttanding
to thickly in the rows, using those removed
as fodder. If fed to cows, they should be
given at milking time. The flavor will
disappear before twelve hours have expired
and will not materially affect the milk.
Horses that have been on pasture, should
now be taken up at night, end have some
dry feed.
The change of feed, from green to drv
should Ie gradual with all stock; other
wise, the appetite may fall, and the animals
lose ihereby.
Milking cows can not lie kept in full flow
without ample ration of fresh feidder. As
the pastures become bare, newly cured corn
stalks, cut and mixed with chopped roots
and sprinkled with middlings, and ground
corn and oats, may be given. Liberal feed
always pays with the right kind of rows.
I lie aim in feeding, now, should be to
get the stock into good condition before
cold weather, remembering that an animal
beginning the winter well is as good as half
through it already.
Sheep, if fed liberally, and managed care
fully, are most profitable stock. The better
we do for them, ihe better they will do for
us; badly managed, they are Pke-Iy to prove
a failure.
For March lambs, the ewes should be
coupled this month. The best ewe is a
common grade Merino or native sheep. For
the earliest, tho e which come from Ohio,
or Western Pennsylvania, weighing about
W to I(X) pounds, are excellent for this pur
pose. A pure South-Down ram, and next,
a Hampshire-Down, and next, a Cotswold
is the best animal to cross upon these. A
plump, fat lamb of moderate size, will
bring more than a "scrawney" one half as
big again. The black face and legs of
the "Dow n" breeds are desirable in market
lambs.
Swine. Brood sows can be well fed now
so that they will bo in good condition for
coupling next month for March pigs
Grades or half breeds of any good breed
are more profi ib!e than full bloods for the
farmer. Keep no pig over a year old for
fattening, it the met pro tit is looked or.
Feeding for pork, m3y best be begun at
once, using tip the poor corn first- Some
feed green stalks, cut fine and mixed with
meal ; this will bring the pigs into a thrifty
condition, to be finished very rapidly in
November.
Fall pigs, may be carried over on skim
milk, a few cut corn stalks, potatoes or
roots, with a little bran, and plenty of fresh
water.
Water. It is a great mistake to stint
animals io water; 75 ier cent, of their
weight is water. Digestion cannot go on
without it. Water is therefore food in one
sense, and an ample supply should be pro
vided for every animal to drink when in
clined. Poultry If f-s are eifc-ted during

Leave no dead weeils, grass, or oler rub

cently planted trees should have a conical
mound of earth, about a foot high, around
them.
Strawberries are sometimes injured by
too much covering ; tbe straw, marsh, hay,
er other material, should tie placed freely
upon the soil, but only an inch ortwo thick
over the plants tkenirelveu.
Raspberries of tender sorts are laid down

Sprin; Bulbs should be planted as scon

who are not fanciers, but wish a general
effect, without regard to names, can buy as
sorted Hyacinths, Tulips, etc, by tbe doz
en, of the dealer's section, much cheaper
than named kinds. Double iuliis are
very showy, they make a blaze of color,
and are deserving of more attention than
they receive.
Bulb Beds need a light, open, and very
rich soil ; the general rule is to put the
bulbs below the surface to a depth equal
to their own thickness.
Cannas do not keep so well if tbe foliage

cut away all above ground, and leave the

them early, handling carelully, as they
break easily; fixed the label securely to
each, and allow them to dry in the sun all
day. Store in a place that will keep pota
toes in good order.
Tender bulb, like Tiger-flowers, Gladio
luses, ete, must be lifted before the ground
freezes, and stored in a cool, dry place. Tu
beroses that have not yet flowered, or have
yet many buds, may be lifted and put in
boxes of earth ; placed in a green-house or
sunny window, they will finish blooming.
A covering ot leaves, straw, or littery
manure, while not absolutely needed, may
be given to most haidy herbaceous plants
with benefit; it will cau-e a stronger bloom
in the spring, while it will be of great ser
vice to those that are barely hardy.
Leaves should be raked up not only as a
matter of neatness, but for the sake of the
leaves, which are one of the best possible
covering materials.
Plants for forcing. Many of the ear
ly blooming plants, including shrubs, force
readily, even in window culture, and give
an abundance of bloom in February and
later. Among the most useful are Peren

If a farmer keeps hens at all, it is folly

fowls around a farmer's premises, that get
their living as best they can, are not credit

not to be wondered at, that there are so few
fresh eggs lor the table, or that the sugar,

ftbeep a Fertilizing; Agents.
American Farmer.
More than once, and on more than one
farm, I have seen dry, barren spots, such as
gravel knolls and side hills made fertile and
productive in a single season, simply by
salting small flock of sheep on these bar
ren sjKits twice a week during the summer.
The sheep would be sure to resort there
several times a day to lick up the salt, and
thus leave their droppings, both liquid and
folid, which-are very rich fertilizers ; then
the next season, tbe most rank and luxuri
ant growths of grass or grain would be pro
duced on these "galled spots" of any other
portion of the field ; thus, the best kind of
manure was applied and spread just where
most wanted without any hard labor.
Weight for weight, sheep manure is more
fertilizing than either horse or cow manure,
and next in value to hen or heg droppings.
