THB presbytery for Oregon has de« cidea that all candidates for license must quit the use of tobacco.

MOBEKLY BELL, the now manager of the London Timos, is author of a book entitled "From Pharoah to Fellah." l'his sounds more oriental than "From Poor to Peasant"

SOME people are so sympathetic that the sound of a bell brings tears to their eyes, reminded of the sufferings of the poor fellow when his brother Cain hit him villi a base ball club.

SA.M JONF.S says his ideal of a man (s John the Baptist, who jumped on a king and atom pod the very life out of him. When he was put in jail ke said ke would slay there until the ants Barried him out through tha koyhole before ho would modify anything that he had said.

IT will be of no interest to man, but woman—married woman—will be glad to learn a very ingenious electrical device has lately been patented by which tho hands of a clock set to a certain hour are made to complete an elootric eurrent connected with the kitchen stove so that the fire is started when tho given hour arrives.

STATK TUKASURKR ARCHER'S downfall is now fully explained. He was a Sevotee of poker and gambled aw Maryland's money. All old sports will lympathize with him. He was an honest man after all. If he had not (flayed a fair game ho would not have f*ind it necessary to steal the state's noney.

A New YORK judge who recently lectured an applicant for divorce on the sacredness of the marriage tie and the evils of hasty divorces, and refused to grant a decree, has just married a divorced woman who had to gat her decree in Illinois because the New York courts would not grant it under her flimsy excuse.

THEKE is a degree of reasoning in the theory that man was evolved from the fish, from the fact that so many•till retain ihe "symptoms." Suckers are not uncommon among the humsMi family. Some get insane and others can scarcely look at water without their heads swimming. Yes, and there be quite many who are somewhat scaly.

SMALL shopkeepers in London often complain of being ruined by the monster establishments which sell everything and monopolize the trade formerly shared by their minor neighbors. The same complaint is raised in Paris, but the French government now proposes to lay additional license duties on b'g shops, so as to restrict their operations and allow small traders a fair chance.

QueNG LEE, an allluent lanndryman pf Plattsburg, Nebraska, lias made Jclaration to become a citizen of the United States, and recently submitted (the question to the treasury department whether he could bring his wifo and children here. In reply, he is informed that they can not bo admitted !into the United States. Fifty years Hienco this will read like an old slave tale notice does to us now.

The corn crop of tho Stato last year averagtd thirty-one bushels per ucre, which was 2.5 bushels per acre above tho average for tho last ten years. Tippecanoe county leads her ninety-one sisters in the amount produced, her contribution to the total crop of tno State boing 2,457,420 bushels. Crawford county produced tho most to tho acre, lorty-five bushels, while Vermillion county raised tho most corn to the square milo of territory, 5,$49 bushels. Tho wheat orop for 1889 was tho largest ever raised in the State, with thrjo exceptions. The total production amounted to 41,541,570 bushels, against 28,750,764 in the year previous. For the fourth year in succession, Benton county produced a larger crop of oats than any other county. Last year the yield was 1,420,403 bushels. Carroll county's yield of forty-three bushels per aero was tho largest recorded. The timothy and clover crops of the State wero the largest in ten years. Tney aggregated a total of 4,172,575 tons.

Vanderburgh county the average was ]50 bushels per acre. Floyd county raised 1V5 bushels of sweet potatoes per acre, which was tho best county record on those esculent roots.

Dr. Zucchinett, of Cairo, has received a letter from Emin Pasha, dated Bagamoyo, March 81. In this letter Emin sayB: When I left tho hospital I found myself between the English and the Germans. My decision to return to tho beart ol Africa in the interest of the Germans wai soon taken when I saw that the English were endeavoring to derive advantage from the prestige of my name. With reference to Stanley and Tippoo Tib, have information in my possossion which, if published, would creato a great scnsation. Stanley will be tho first to stir up the people against mo.

During the debate on the East Africa credits in the Reichstag Monday, Baron Von Marshall explained that tho mission of Emin Pasha in Africa on tho part of the Germans would be confined to establishing friendly relations with those tribes in the interior who are within tho German sphore o* interest, and to estimating the cost of eventually forming some fortified stations in tho Interior. In the negotiations with England regarding tho boundaries of thoir respective possessions in Africa, tho predominating wish of Germany was to go band in hand with England and to cultivate tho common interests of both countries.

Tho object was not to acquire as much territory as possible, but to keep together what was naturally connoctod by a course of water ways as a means of communication. On this point Germany was prepared to come^to an understanding with England.

Mr. Henry M. Stanley, in an interview on the 12th, regarding the German movements in Africa, said that he was wearied by England's apathy and pliancy in regardto the operations being carried on by the Germans. If England continued to remain inactive tho Germans would secure paramount influence in Africa.
