The sad affliction of the young lady who was sent to the insane asylum yesterday again calls attention to the question whether our educators do not believe in too much education?

Mr. Bayard was in St. Louis yesterday lie wits "received" this side of the bridge, escorted over to the "Merchant's Ex change," saw "Shaw's Garden," and was then allowed to proceed on his way, leaving St. Louisans with the belief that if ever afterward he did not say St. Louis was the greatest city in the country, he is a man of ignorance and not fit to be considered an American citizen.

In spite of their unwillingness to do so the authorities at Washington weie compelled by the force of public sentiment to issue a permit for the firing of cannon on the occasion of the reception to be tendered General Logan to night or to-mor-row night. "Black Jack" Eas many ad mirers, and they are of the kind of men who like the sound of cannon. It may not be a pleasant occasion for the occupant of the White House but we imagine he will have to put up with the annoyance of hearing the booming of the guns in the White House lot, the regular place for such affairs in Washington.

At Hartford, Connecticut, a general warrant has been issued against the dealers in "Spearhead" tobacco. The informations all allege violation of the law relative to lotteries. Alreadv nroso° tions have

There is not much consistency in this enforcement of ths law any more than there is in enforcing the law in this state against newspapers for publishing lottery advertisements. Lotteries are bad things without doubt but what sense is there in preventing the Express, for in stance, publishing a lottery advertisement when on the side of the Express building there is posted a large advertisement of the Louisiana lottery?

The Paris communists belive they lost their greatest opportunity since 1871 by bad generalship on the occasion of Hugo's funeral. The leaders and their journals thought a bloody reign of the commune would have been a tribute to the memory of Hugo. The trouble seems to have been that there was no one directing mind and the police were, able to get all the red banner brigades into one street where they were flanked, in fact captured and their flags taken from them. The communists had hoped that they might be able to start the mob spirit throughout ihe city, and the torch once started, the great numbers of crazed men aud women could never have been brought under the control of the police. It was a narrow escape for Paris, and will be a great help in putting down the commune spirit because the revolutionists realize that they have lost their great opportunity.

There is a dispute as to whether exSenator McDonald or Mr. Tilden f-e-cured the appointment of George W, Julian as surveyor general of New Mexico. The friends of McDonald use the event to magnify his influence with the administration in contrast with Mr. Hendricks, who, the same day, cured for an Indianian a position watchman about the treasury build ing. They say that Mr. Julian was supported bv Senator Voorhees and all the democrats in the Indiana delegation for commissioner of the land office and was defeated, but that ex-Senator McDonald dined with the president one day last week and the appointment to the sur-veyor-generalship is the result of his recommendation on that occasion. If this be the true story and that Mr. Tilden did not make the request for the appointment, the only favor he has asked as reported, ihen it signifies but one thing. It shows that ex-Senator McDonald is the recipient of all of the president's favors for Indiana simply because he is Mr. Hendricks' enemy. There is no other reason why the ex-Senator should be chosen by the president to represent the Indiana democracy. He has never had the cordial support of the party in the state as has Mr. Hendricks and, by the way, nothing like the endorsement by his paity as its leader that' has been bestowed upon Senator Voorhees. In this latter connection it is becoming pertinent to inquire where Voorhees stands with the administration. He has defended it, plead for it and remained in Washington laboring with it since it has been in existence, but in every instance that a prominent Indiana appointment has-been made the credit for it has been given to the exsenator. True, it is always said that Senator Voorhees has endorsed the appointment, but Magee. Denby, McLean, Julian —all of them are considered as "McDon-

MR KXPRB88, TEKRfi HAUTE, THt HSDAY, .JUNE 4,1886.

THE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS. introduction of 7. whi^i foalt fce

Wheat Will Yield Below the Average, But Other Crops iTomlne Well.

The Indiana Farmer of tiiis w^ek will publish its regular monthly statement concerning the outlook-iox„ staple crops, and as it is compiled with great care, may be regarded as a reasonably accuatte statement cf their true condition. The Farmer says: "There is no longer" a "donbt that the wheat crop will fall far below an average one, and while all may not agtee in our views, yet experience justifies them, that it is well that we are not to have a full crop of wheat this season. There may conre personal and sectional hardships, but for the farming interests and the country geneially it is well ordered that the wheat crop of this season is to be short of an average one. It is well known that there is a large surplus of old wheat in this country, and whatever may prove to be true respecting the, production in India and other countries, a full crop here, added to the pretty full bins, would utterly break down the prices, and there is such a thing as the productive and business interests Btarving and perishing with full stores and plenty.

Further, within the past six years the farmers of the west have realized more money out of a wheat crop of many, millions of bushels below an average one than out of a fall crop. We have Tjefore noted this specifically for Indiana, giving the data in detail.

Tliur far everything points to a large co'rn crop, which is much more needed^ the country than that of wheat. The demand for our surplus corn abroad as well as at home is rapidly increasing. There is far less probability that we shall have competitors in this line of production than that of wheat. They have not appeared yet, and are not likely to appear. Furthermore,'the surplus corn can be converted into meat at home,-and the demand and price of this promises fair in the future as it has been in the past. We can see no reasons for difcouragement to the productive or business industry.' If there are any, they have grown out of wild speculations, extrav.agant living, and gambling in grain, stock, etc. .=?-

WHEAT SUMMARY.

Indiana—The May report showed the condition of 64 per cent, of the average. It will be noticed that the June reports j.ut it at 61 per cent.

Illinois—May report, condition 59 the June reports give it at 49 pej cent. Ohio—The May condition was 76, whereas it is now reported 79 per cent.

In the southern sections of all three of the states a large area of wheat fields were planted to corn in May, or sown to oats.

CORN—ARB A.

As has already been stated, the corn has been planted in good condition and in good season. Planting wasgoing on June 1, the date of our reports. The area is large, and will probably be the largest ever planted in the central west. Gen erally the stand is good and plants vig orous. Indiana, area 104 Ilinois, 110 Ohio, 109 pi-r cent, of an average acreage. Everything now indicates a large crop.

OATS.

The area to this crop is also a fair one the plants are in good condition, though in some sections reported backward and late. Our May report showed nearly a full average acreage, and the condition to June 1 in Indiana is 95, IUonois 98 and Ohio 92 per cent, of an average crop.

Meadows—Indiana, timothy 96, clover 86 per cent, of average condition. Illinois, timothy 97, clover 79 per cent, OhijO, timothy 98, clover 83 per cent.

Fruit—The prospect is now fair for the best apple crop for several years. This is also especially true of Small fruits—the strawberry, raspberry, grapes, etc. Apples per cent, of condition based on a full crop, in Indiana, 82 Illinois, 90 Ohio, 89. The condition of the small fruit crops in the three states is reported at a full average in nearly all sections.

Rye and barley—Indiana, rye 82, barley 67 Illinois, rye 70, barlev 73: Ohio, rye 90, barley 79 percent of the condition of full crops.

Live stock—The condition of live stock is reported fair Indiana, horses 96, cattle 95, hogs 94, sheep 94 Illinois, .horses 98, cattle 84, hogs 81, sheep 89 Ohio, horses 96, cattle 98, hogs 94, sheep 94.

Plants Used by Man.

It is stated that the number of plants used by man at the present time does not exceed 3,000. Of these about 2,500 are cultivated in America. The varieties used for food do not exceed 600. Of ediVle fruits and seeds there are 100 classed as vegetables, 100 as roots and bulbs, fifty varieties of grain, about twenty of which produce sugar and syrup. In addition to this, perhaps thirty kinds will yield oil and six kinds wine. The number of medicine-supply plants is nearly double that of the fruityielding, amounting to 1,140, about 350 of which are employed in the various branches of industry. Of the latier, seventy-six furnish dye-stuff, eight wax, sixteen salt and more than foitv supply food for cattle. There are no fewer than 250 kinds of poisonons plants cultivated, among which are only sixty-six of a narcotic sort, the remainder being classed as deadly poisons.

The Fiddle and the Bow. The fashionable girls of Philadelphia have taken up thb fiddle and the bow. The outlay for instruments is often extravagant. One /onng belle has what she declares is a Stradivarious, 150 years old. She has had it inlaid with pearl. The addition has ruined its tone. Still, that doesn't matter, since she has made the instrument an oddity and can say that its cost has been nearly $700. Another enthusiast has a fiddle that she declares was a favorite of Paganini's. Its present extraordinary tone may be due to the fact that it is all tied up with old gold ribbons. Her teacher warned her that the tight bands would impair the quality, but the young woman answered that the difference didn't seem much to her mind, and in any event she was determined to retain the ribbons, because they suited her complexion.

Where Fine Women are Raised. London Truth. Very beautiful women and fine-looking men are "raised," as the Americans would say, in Persia and the khanates of Central Asia. Europe^or America never produced such a paragon of loveliness as General Nazar Aga's wile. Some of the noblest types of the Caucasian and the Semitic races are still found in the valleys of Central*Asia. They are physically as superior to a civilized European as

However, when not in the first bloom of youth,the women have a sorrowful, not to say a morose, look, which impairs their beauly.v This is shown in Vereschagin'S album of sketches made between the Caspian and the Ganges, which will soon be exhibited in London.

Gas and Electric Street Lights. A statement of the relative cot of illuminating the streets with the electric light and gas was placed before the board' of aldermen of New York City recently, by Secretary S. McCormick, of the gas commission. At present there are in use 647 electric lights, costing the city J165,-

r,Q-

2,093 more, the cost of $534,762.. The lights

displaced 3,061 gas lamps, $112,558

less than is now paid for the electric lights. Mr. MeCormick advises against the removal of the gas lamps in districts now'illuminated by electric lights, as the city may some time be forced to fall back on gas. "I have not," says the secretary, "discovered any advantage which the electric light possesses that can not be obtained from gas lamps, except the instantaneous lighting."

A Remarkable Clock.

Brockton Cor. Boston Journal. Within a, fortnight Mr. Leander Pratt, of Brockton, will have completed a clock which will be one of the most interesting and various time-pieces ever made in this country. Mr. Pratt is a natural genius. A retoucher of photographs by trade, lie has spent all of ms spare time for years in the manufacture of automatons.

Mr. Pratt's latest achievement, and the one which he regards as certain to bring him fame and sneckles, is the manufacture of the clock alluded to above. For four years ha has toiled and labored on his invention, working night and^day as his time would permit, until now it has aJbont reached completion. It is about twelve feet high and four feet wide, with a depth of perhaps three feet. Its case is made of black walnut and cherry, very handsomely carved and ornamented. The dial is about the size of an ordinary "grandfather's Jclock." Toward the top-of the case three ^balconies jut out one over the other, and the summit is crowned by two tall towers. As the reporter was looking at it the minute hand crept slowly around the dial and paused for an instant at the iquarter's hour, a slight whirring noise iwas heard, and a door opened in the clock case, from which jssued a gayly costumed Turk aJsout a foot high. His Uttle head with its gleaming eye# turned nervously from side to side. With sweeping salaam he advanced two or three paces, and raising one arm struck a little gong. Hardly had the silvery note died away when he disappeared and the Goddess of Liberty stepped upon the lititle balcony. In her right hand she held a silken American flag, which she waved to and fro. A moment laier a curtain rose, and seven bell-ringers were seen standing behind a table. The leader of the troupe raised his hand, and the nfel ody of the "Star Spangled Banner" was heard. The little players followed the motions of their leader with great accnriacy, and the Goddess of Liberty leaned over the balcony, waving the Stars and

Stripes in time to the music. Fifteen minutes passed, and as the minate hand i-eached the hour the figures of the Twelve Apostles appeared on the upper balcon passing along until they reach a little alcove, in which stood the figure of Christ the Disciples passed before Ilim in khgle file He raised His eyes and extend }ng His arms blessed each one separately The figure of Peter turned its back on reaching his Lord, and at the same time Satan could be seen lowering upon him from one of the towers above. The fi ures, twenty-three in number, are ma of wood, except the hands and face which are gutta percha. No two of the faces are- alike. The leader of the bell-ringers has features the very counterpart of Freebethyser, the well-known Swiss bell-ringer, who. was in this country some twenty years ago with his troupe. It requires a sixty*pound weight to run the bell-ring-ers. The clock winds up in four places, and the machinery is lemarkable for its uimpVifity. Several partitw aw negotiating for its purchase, and it will probably ioon be on exhibition.

General Anson Stager.

Secretary Bruch, of the Telegraphers Mutual Benefit association, has issued a circular, in which it is stated that upon the envelope containing General Stager'i certificate of membership was this in dorsement: "To be presented-to the association at my death, April 20,1880." The amount, $1,000, has been deducted from the surplus and added to the reserve fund. The June assesbment has been omitted, as the treasurer has enough funds on hand to meet all claims. Du ing this year $5,000, including the $1,000 referred to above, hat been added to the reserve fund, making it $40,000.

The New York Times, speaking of General Stager's gift, tells these stories: "One day a year or so ago General Stager got into a Fourth avenue horse-car to ride up town. He had his evening paper and was deep in the intricacies of the abundant miscellany, when a cold hearted conductor tapped his shoulder and asked for fare. Carelessly he reached into a pocket for the needed coin. It was a vain search. One pocket after another gave back the same message. He was down town without a penny. Some weak-minded yourig women, with some weak-minded young men on the seat over the way, affected merriment over the passenger's evident confusion. Then a mere lad at the other end of the car pressed a nickel into the conductor's hand. 'What's your name and where do you live?' demanded Stager, as a few blocks further on he prepared to leave the car. The boy answered. When he went to school the next day he wore a gold watch. A self-contained young man came to General Stager to ask his help toward securing a responsi'ble place in a down-town banking-house. 'Have yon got a sweetheart?' was the bluff and pointed question the caller met. 'No, sir,' was his somewhat proud rep" 'Then go and get one. I'm afraid of young men who are mashed on themselves. Go and find an honest girl that's a better guarantee of honesty than all the bonds your friends can give.' The coveted place, it is related, went to another man."

Treatment of Scarlet Fever. Dr. A. W. Jackson, of Brooklyn, calls attention to the treatment of scarlatina, first brought prominently into notice by Dr. Peart, of. England. This consists in the administration of from three to seven grains of carbonate of ammonia every hour for the first day, and then at longer intervals. Purgatives are to be avoided during the early stages of the disease. The writer states that he has had occasion to test this mode of treatment, and can indorse it heartily. In addition he employs the fluid extract of eucalyptus internally and as a gargle. When there is much exudation a mixture of carbolic acid and iodine in glycerine is painted over the parts. In too rapid recession of the rash Dr. Jackson applies cloths dipped in thick mustard-water, or wrapsthe child in blankets wrung out in hot water.

France's Decreasing Population. The population' of France is decreasing instead of increasing. The mortality among infants belonging to the poorer class is appalling. So also is the deathrate ameng the orphans and foundlings left to the charge of the Communes, who are placed out to nnrse, and drop out of life in numbers during the first years of their existence. This can hardly be wondered at when babies in the first year of their existence are paid for at the rate of onlv 6 to 15 francs a month, and of this sum of from 4 to 10 sous a day the nurse is supposed to lodge, feed and care for the child. After the first year the pay is reduced by a third, while from 6 to 13 years of age in no fewer than ten French departments, the nurse's pay is only from 3 to 9 francs a month, or from 2 to 6 sous per diem.

The Fatal State Department. The state department, which at the beginning of our government, was looked upon as the stepping stone to the presidency, became later on singularly fatal to the ambitions of almost every man who took charge 6Tit, and its possession in many cases has been the forerunner of disaster, disease and death. Upshur, one of Tyler's secretaries of state, was blown up on the Princeton while he was in office, and Hugh S. Legate, the secretary of state who preceded Upshur, died at Boston at the celebration of the

Bunker Hill monument, which he was attending with the president in his capacity as secretary. Daniel Webster, while acting as Fillmore's secretary of state, was, in 1852, thrown from his carriage and then? received the injuries which caused his death the following October. Secretary William H. Seward never recovered fully from the blow of the assassin Payne, -which he received on the night Liheoln was killed, and his political future was injured by his connection with Johnson in the state department in the following administration. James G. Blaine narrowly escaped Guiteau's bullet when he walked down to the depot arm-in-arm with President Garfield to see him off to Long Branch, and the dissatisfaction with Blaine's aggressive policy as secretary of state probably lost him enough votes during the last election to put Cleveland into the White House. Had Henry Clay not accepted the state portfolio from John Quincy Adams the "bargain" and "corruption" cry would never have been raised, and Clay would probably not have died disapointed in his ambition to be president. John C. Calhoun's future was largely affected by the fights he had while he was secretary of state, by which he became estranged from Jackson aud his party, and Marcy and Cass dropped out of the state department into existing nonentitvness.

Rivalry Among Women.

San Francisco Post.• Women who want to- be clerks Washington have found anew grievance. It has been understood for some tiuie that they were being discriminated against under the civil service rules, which allow the heads of departments to call for male clerks if they prefer them when vacancies are to be filled. It is now claimed by the blondes thiu not only do they have to fight favoritism shown to men, but also that evinced toward brunettes of their own sex. Tine startling discovery announced that such appointnfents as are now given to women are invariably bestowed upon the dark-haired sisterhood. When taxed upon making this cruel distinction the officials excuse themselves .v saying that blondes are apt to be quick tempered and do Hot make as jrootl ••!.-: ks as brunettes. Naturally there is great iivalry and hatred between these factions—a war of white and red roses, so to speak. The blondes, however, are aile to score one over their despised antagonists owing to the appointment of one of their number to a coveted position in the treasury. She was apparently a brunette, but, as subsequently transpired, wore a dark wig while passing through the ordeal of examination. It is supposed that hereafter the discomfitted powers will insert into the listof questions one requiring a sworn statement as to the genuineness and ownership of each applicant's hair. In the meantime the fair-haired sisters are enjoying their triumph, but propose a serious movement on ,the enemy by requiring national action in f.hoir hplmlf hy t.lio woman suffragists of the country.

A Type-Setting Contest.

New York Herald A novel contesi will take place next Thursday afternoon in a New York printing office. The principals are two well-known type setters-Joseph McCann and Ira Somers—and the audience will be mainly composed of the delegates to the International typographical convention. There is no enmity between the opponents, and it is safe to say that no blood will be shed. The object of the meeting is not to see which of the two men has the better biceps, but which can set the greatest anount

of type in a given number of hours. The articles of agreement provide that the type used shall be solid minion without paragraphs that each competitor shall correct his composition at the termination of the type-setting, and that one line, of work shall be deducted from the amount performed for each minute or fraction of a minutb spent in correction that each competitor shall be allowed an assistant to empty his sticks that the copy shall be strictly identical, and that the stakes shall be $250 a side.

The printers iu this city and the delegates from other cities-are intensely in terested in the contest., and it is certain that an immense number of them will be present.

He See'd Him a' Splutterin'.". New York Telegraph. "He," he, he," tittered little Johnnie Hannigan in the Essex Market court this morning as he was led to the bar and his laughing eyes fell on a redheaded young Irisliman who appeared as complain ant. "What are yon laughing at?" said Ihe court, severely. "I can't help it," said Johnnie, trying to look sedate, "when 1 think o' de fix dat bloice wus in." "What's the trouble?" said his honor to the complainant. "There's enough the matter," said he. "A crowd of them young rascals set a pail o' wather on a fence an' whin Oi pasht it th' upset't an me. Oi was drowned intoirely." Johnnie stuffed his hat in his mouth when he heard the story and shook with -glee and devilment. "Did you do that, Johnnie?" "Naw," said Johnnie, "but I seed him a splutterin' sif he was in de river'n I laughed so much he grabbed me'n had me rested." The complainant could not swear that Johnnie was concerned in the trick and was discharged.

What Blaine Might Have Done. Gath. In the republican party there is a mixed feeling concerning Mr. Blaine. Many believe that if he had been elected last November the public policy of this country would have been vigilant and active, and the present stagnation would have been .transient. There is, of course, a set of great men who have pissed their lives around the newspaper offices selling articles and inscribing wind, who poon-pooh the idea that there ever can be any improvement unless it is in the era. Nevertheless we live in the shadow of thatgreat civil war which did more to push this country forward, notwithstanding the loss of treasure and life, than any thing which ever happened in our history. We simpletons are not beyond the belief that a bright-minded spirit in the presidency might have set the wheels of activity to revolving. We remember that all nations owed their resuscitation to gome man rather, than to some atmosphere.
