Ucenso law Chicago has issued 3,000 liquor
licenses thin far with aggregate receipts
amounting to 400,000. Tlie majority of the
licenses are for four months, and it is estima

f 1,600,000. About COO saloons hare been fro
wn out.
Tiis Boston Journal ssys that tlio weekly

The fllk culturo industry is growing In the

sociations, numerous stock companies, a colony
of Italians in Texas, a German colony in North
Carolina, a sottlement of Norwegians in Geor

leaves to tlio dainty silk worm.
Tub establishment of a cancer hospital in
New York was a magnificent idea, and its sue.
cess has been ensured by a gift of f 200,000
from John Jacob Alitor. Other generous gifts
havo been received, one of 25,0l)0,onof
000, snntlicr of (15,000, besides firo amounts of
15,000 each, and four of l,000 each. A vacant

TntFrcnrh niodo of executing criminals by
the ghillutinc is rapid enough to satisfy any
one. When the criminal's neck is fairly under
tho knifo a lover is touched, the blado flashes
downward, tho head falls into a zinc ease
standing in readiness to receive it, tho body is
thrown into a tumbril, and the remains are
galloped oft to tho Turnip Field, there to bo
btiricd with paupers and uuclaimcd inmates
from the morgue, Tlio, spectators at these ex
ecutions compriso dundics, looso women, Jour

quietly.
Ix the middle states sinco 1874 farming lands
havo r'eertased in valuo fully fifty per ccut.
The depreciation is not due to any general and
heavy full in the pricos of farm products. The
eiplnnsl ion given by a recent writer is that
tho taxes levied by tho geno-al government
sinco tho war aro vastly heavier than they
were hrforo tho war. As tho burden of all
taxation falls ultimately on productive indus
try, it follows that land, which is the founda
tion of that industry, must fall in value as the
tsx bunion is ma e houvier, and rise in price
whenever this burden is inado lighter.
Riuck the departure of Mr. Henry Irving the
newnpapers are comparing bis rccoiptB with
those of other talented dramatic artistes.
Bcrnhardt's total turnings here for 20 necks
were t3!K,000. Mrs. I.angtry's total was 223,
663. Irvlng's receipts wero J405.C04. Mr.
Irvlng's greatest success was in lloston. There
in one week ho played before 27,000 hearers.
The week's receipts wore (24,087. It must be
recollected that Mr. Irving began with quail,
fled success and ended by eclipsing all com
petitors. Utah has now 10,000 small farms averaging
Cwenty-flvo acres, and the wholo must be irri
gated. There is oidy one large farm in the
territory, and it is owned by a coinpaiiv. The
Great Salt Lake, according to Elder Cannon,
contains enough salt to supply America for
centuries. All that is necessary in preparing
It for the market is to drive to the edge of tho
lake with a wagon and a man with a pair ol
rubber boats can load it with a shovel. The
salt lies on the bottom of the lake in small
coarse crystals. After loading It is taken to a
grinding machine and being run through it is
fit for the table.
In six years Henry M. Stanley has succeeded
In establishing a chain of international station,
across the African continent. In 1880 he foun
ded Viva, the first of the sorits of stations in
western Africa. Before tho end of tho third
yearLeopoldville,, a station on Stanley Tool, at
the boad of tho'lower cataracts, and the key of
the uppsr Congo, was founded, and four steam
ers wore launched on the groat river. In 1883
the station of Btanley Falls, 1,000 miles np the
liver, was founded. About 3,600 miles of river
transit of the Congo and its tributaries are
opened to commerce by this chain of stations.
The Import to the west coast of Africa last
year were over (32,000,000, while the export
were over 137,000,000.
Aocordiho to Mulhall's Dictionary of Stall,
ties murder is a causa of death:
In England to 337 per 10,000,000
In Belgium to 340 "
In France to 205 "
In Scandinavia to SCO
In Germany to 379 "
In Ireland (1879) to 391 "
In Austria to 310 "
In Russia t 83 I
Inltally to 60 " j
In Spain to 53 "
In the United States to 83 "
The exceedingly unfavorable reoord of thi
Onited States is the natural result of a low con
dition of publio sentiment on tho subject ot
murder.

Tub chiof of forestry of the agricultural do

attention. Within a few yoars American farm
ers will havo to meet strong competition in the
grain markets of tho old world. Wo must nn
admit that India can produce enough whoat to
seriously sfTcct prices in Ameiica. Already
with a crop of 85.OTO.000 bushuls short th.
prieo of wheat hns gono 18 cents below that of
ino timo wnon our wheat crop was tho lament
evor known.. In future when Egypt, India and
central Africa iour their wheat into tho mar
kets tno farmers or this country will absndou
all hope of profitable competition. The Amer.
lean farmer must now adopt methods of farm
ing which will msko him comparatively inde
pendent of tho world's wheat market. Tlio
lesson taught l.y the East India experiment
with wheat is enough toopunoureyes, and now
that England is preparing to open a short mad
to the vast fertile districts in Africa thero is
no estimating the outcome,
GniNNEi.ii is tho pimieer temperanco city of
Iowa. Thirty years ago a few families settled
on the Grinncll tract and went to work to
build up a town. Tho owner of tho land incor
porated a provision in ovcry deed to the effect
that any lot on which liquor was sold should
rovert to tho first owner or his heirs. There
has novcr been a rovcrsion, and novcr a saloon
in the placo, and no holder of real citato has
been known to favor tho salo of spirits. Tho
town has now between 3,000 and 4,000 pooplo,
throo railways, and manufacturing industries
which employ several hundred men of various
nationalities and every shade of roliginus and
political belief. Thero is no desiro to change
tho present ordor of things becauso taxes are
low, real estate is advancing, and a good clans
of peoplo come to tho placo. There aro flvo
churches. Of tho Inhabitants from first to
lsst not ono ever went to Jail, to prison or to
tho poor house. The cyclono of laxi destroyed
all the colleges, 100 dwellings and 40 lives, but
there has been a full recovery from Iho ilTccts
of one of tho most disastrous storms on record.
Grinnell enjoys an enviablo reputation for
good order, entorurise and prosperity. Tho
temperanco peoplo may well Imj proud of it, and
after thirty years it can hardly bo called an ex
periment. It is an accomplished fact.
Irour consular repor:s are to be belioved,
Mexico is no place for men of energy unless
thoy have abundant capital. Enterprising
Americans of largo means can mako money in
Mexico, but it is no country for poor men.
Everything in Mexico is now in a transition
state and it is difficult to predict the outcome.
The government is autocratic, the president
possessing greator power than any potcntato in
Europe. Tho governors of tho soveral states
iro responsible to tho ceutr.il pownr which ex
sreises a preponderating influence inolectlons.
Publio education is now pushed for all it is
worth. There has been a great advance in the
condition of the cities. Real estate has doub
led aud in some instances trohlcd in value. The
Capital is now gridironcd with mulo railways
leading out into tho country for miles in every
direction. Agricultural lauds do not advance
in proportion. The cost of irrigation in almost
every section is a big item and keeps agricul.
turo iu the background. Ono great drawbaok
ta the progress of the country is tho condition
of society. Thero are only two classos in Mex
!o, the highest and the lowest. Thero is no
Middle class. Tlie wealthy, educated non-producers
never mingle in any way with the com
mon people, and it is not at all surprising aa
the latter are the lowest and most degraded
specimens of humanity to bo found anywbore
in tho world. Tho Americans who havo
swarmed into tho country aro in tho main a bad
lot, composod of bonier ruffians, filibusters,
speculators, coarse adventurers and broken
down professional men. Tho Mexicans fear
and suspect these now-enmers snd it must be
admitted that until we send a better class of
settlors thore we can not expect our flag, our
civilization and our citizons to bo rcspeotod.

THE LITTLE NEWSBOY.
A I'lensant Picture ol l.lfe 1st a Great City. '
Prom Our Continent.
There is a newsboy who comes io the
ofllce of ono of onr busy neighbors a
great metropolitan daily every afler
noon, for the btiudlo of papers which he
sells. His mother lias a stand upon a
breezy corner, a few blocks away. Sorao
times he conies tilono, but usually sbo is
with bim. Ho is only a littlo fellow, ton
or twolve years old. Bhe is old olilor
looking than one would suppose per
haps, after all, sho is bis grandmother.
We hnve watched them a dozen times
during tho winter, going up the slippery
steps, along tho icy pavement, across
the crowded thoroughfare. She is harsh
featured, stoops, is very limit I motive,
Her clothing, though not discreditable,
is very plain nnd cheap, nnd has been
altogether too light for tlio season. The
littlu fellow's face is always bright and
cheerful. Onco or twice wo havo fol
lowed them from the ollieo to tho news
stand. He chatters to her nil the way.
His bright young face is often upturned
to her grave, wrinkled one, and ho
seems always to havo some message of
hope for her old heart. Hmtill as he is,
he never allows her to cross the street
without tlio utmost watchfulness for ve
hicles passing either way. Ho never
permits her to climb tho steps without
assistance from his ready band. While
he carries under one arm a portion of
the package thoy bear away from tho of
ilco, he is always careful to seo that sho
is not only protected from any barm,
but also shielded, as much as possible,
from discomfort. Again aud again,
when tlio cohl wind has thrown tho thin,
black shawl from tho arm under which
alio carries her bundle of papers, wo
have seen Iho littlo fellow pnsa around
to that sido, carefully and tenderly
gather the Hying garment, tuck it under
her arm, so aa to protect it from thn
cold, and then return to luko her othor
arm, and guide her safely along tho
lliiiruiighfiiro. Ho does tins without
onco ceasing his pretty chatter without
a word uf suggestion from her but with
(lint honest kindliness, that delieato re
gard for others' comfort, (hut marks
only tlio very fluent gotility. (lotl bless
the little fellow I lie may never know
thut any ono bus noted his thoughtful
care; he may never even dremu that his
cheerful and kindly consideration forliis
aged friend is anything worthy of note,
but one, nt least, has man him, and has
Imhui cheered and elevi 4ed by bis sweet
courtesy. Ono heart, at least, has
warmed with love for tlio gallant littlo

newsboy's name, aud write it first of all

bo nfraid to wager something that tlio
littlo fellow has already beguu to tako

Has the Enrlli a Ring I
There aro all kinds of rings in the
InisiuoKS nnd political world, but tho
greatest ring of nil is the ono which
some astronomers say is forming outside
tho atniosphoro of the earth. There aro
pooplo who gravely maintain that the
extraordinary sunsots ami sunshines
which havo boon noticed for months art
duo to tlio formation of a ring or lings
nrottnd our ourtli, similar to those re
vealed with the teloscopo encircling the
plniiet Sal urn. No scientist of note has
dared, 11s yet, to seriously consider this
theory, but thoso sunsets aro, neverthe
less, ns great a mystery as evor. That
thoy aro duo to moisture iu the atmos
phere, or to dust hurled np into the air
nt the volcanic eruptions last Btimmor iu
Java, is now discredited. A lady has
ventured tlio surmiso that tho red sun
sets aro duo to an effect on the part of
tho sun to adjust itself to tho new stand

it is clear that tuore aro more tilings in

dreamed of, not only by tho philosophy
but by tho sotonoe of modern times.
