BRITISH

printed cloths have been found

to contain so much arsenic that it has seriously injured the trade in Norway.

CROPS throughout the country are reported in excellent coudition, from which it is to be inferred that this will be a very bad year for the political calamity crank who lives by the sweat of his jaw, the misfortunes of his fellow man and bad crops.

MANY Philadelphia, landlords allow their tenants five percent, discount on rents paid the day tbey fall due, and the custom is said to be very satisfactory all round. It saves much inconvenience, abolishes agents, and in the end brings much more money.

TUB political parties are preparing to open quarters in Washington, and during the dog days campaign literature will be flying la all directions. With this prospect before them a year before the opening of the campaign the people are by no means satisfied.

THE new Court of Private Land Claims will have its hands lull for a long time to come. Titles to about 37,000,000 acres of land are to be settled, and as the lands are all located in tho west the contestants will make it luteresting for the court no matter which side is successful.

AN Iowa couple have a family of twenty-nine children, one of whom is married and the other twenty-eight live at homo. A family row in that household, if such a thing ever occurs, is calculated to rouse the whole neighborhood, and might necessitate the calling out of the troops.

THIS numbor of Italians arriving in J,hls country i» diminishing. This week ail emigrant steamer arrived in New York with only 158 of them on board the (general averago being from 000 1000 on steamers of the*amo line. The decrease is rather hard on the steamship companies, but is a source of congratulation to all good citizens of this country.

RUSSIA throntons to crowd American pork out of the English market. This Is to bo done by means of cheap feed, quick curing, and rapid transportation at low rates. It sounds very plausible on paper, but there is no reason to believe that it can be done with any greater dregree of suecoss that could Russian grain run tho American article out of European markets.

JOSKPH K. EMMKTT, better known as "Fritz" Einmett, died of pneumonia at his homo, C'ornwall-or-tbo Hudson, last Monday, aged 50 yenrs. At one time he was tho most popular and accomplished aotor of his kind in America and soon accumulated large fortune. Of lRte ysars, however, whisky ruined his business, overcome his popularity, and loft him with a fortune seriously Impaired.

Six years ago R. T. Jono«, of Edgefield county, South Carolina, murdered three men in oold blood and on tho sixth trial •was convicted of manslaughter. That is the way they do things down there. Had Ire been a negro he would have been hung by a mob within twelvo hours of the commission of the crime. As he is a whjte man he will probably ,geta now trial, and will be acquitted next time.

Turn third party recently born in Cincinnati is already iu the throes dissolution. Up to date twenty-five Suballiances in Kansas have repudiated it, and the only county In the state having an alliance member In the state seuate has resolved to return to the republican ranks. The indications now are that the political freaks elected to congress by the alliance in 1S90 will be retired without ceremony iu LTSFI.

TUK body of a Minnesota man, who It ad been burled twenty years, was removed from the grave the other day, and was found to have a beard twentythree inches long, although the face had been shaven before burial. As there is ao election iu Minnesota this year the story can no be a campaign lie, but has probably bs*n set afloat as an offset to some of the boom yarns regarding the richness of Kansas soil.

THK faith cure fools are not all dead yet. Of the thousands who flocked to Pittsburg to see Father Molllnger, only a few pro fees to have received any relief, nearly all going away in that condition In which they came, and most of them penniless, having spent alt they had to reach the supposed healing power. On Tuesday last the depot in Pituburg presented the appearance of a hospital, so numerous were the patient*. In jostle® to the reverned father, however, it should be stated* that he has never claimed to poesees supernatural healing powers.

Tits sixteen states which contributed ft.JWMOG to the Centennial Exposition of ISTTT h*f» appropriated 82,044,000 for the Columbian World's Fair in Chicago. In Arkansas. Kansas, New York, Oregon and Rhode Island appropriation bills have failed in Delaware, Kentucky Maryland, Michigan, lasts*! ppl, and

Nevada, action is pending or the legislatures have not met. The states which have refused to give anything this year gave $68,500 in 1876, and those In which no action has yet been taken that year gave $54,500. Ten states which gave nothing to the Centennial have appro* priated 9730,000 for the Chicago fair. Thus far the Columbian World's Fair has $8,275,000 in sight, against a total of $5,166,750 for the Centennial. It is safe to assume that several states will yet make liberal appropriations, so it will be seen that the Chicago fair is in a healthy condition, even if New York did fail to countenance it.

TBK daily bulletins continue to show a marked improvement in the condition of Mr. Blaine's health. Tbey also show that his boom eontinues, notwithstanding the efforts of politicians to choke it off. Beyond peradventure Mr. Harrison wants to succeed himself in the White House, and the Blaine boom, if the Maine statesman has really any thought of being a canditate, must cause him much a easiness. Oa the ether hand it is confidently asserted, and there Is every reason to believe it, that under no circumstances will Mr. Blaine be a candidate. In his present position he has been given every opportunity to carry out his South American .policy, he has been given due credit for his work by the American people, and he is apparently well satisfied with the situation. It is more likely that Mr. Blaine favors the renomination of Mr. Harrison. To kill the Blaine boom now, would only result in bringing out other candidates and developing the strength of the opposition to Harrisou by concentrating it on some ether man. As long as Blaine is in the field any other candidate is out of the question, consequently bis name may be held before the people until the meeting of the convention, when it will be suddenly withdrawn. It will theu be too late to concentrate the Blaine strength upon any one man against the centralized force of Harrison, so the latter candidate will walk off with the nomination. Probably this is a mistake, and Mr. Blaine is a candidate. If he is there is no power in the country which can prevent his nomination, and if be is not a candidate his followers will control the nomination. Mr. Harrison has given the country a clean administration, but bis administration has an air of unpopularity about It which would seriously cripple him in a race for a second term.

EXPLORING MEXICO.

Nearly a year ago, Dr. Carl Lumholtz, a Norxveiglan, under the auspices of an eastern geological society, siarted out to explore Northern Mexico. He bad several years experience in the same kind of work In Australia, and before starting on his Mexican trip spent several months among the various tribes of Indians in New Mexico and Arizona, learning what he could of their history, habits, customs aud traditions, and when he found a man who has made Indian life a study, and who waspaactical, he employed him for his expedition when his services could be procured. In this way he surrounded himself with material from whose work the best results are to be expected. It is now about ten months since the party started from Bisbee, Arizona, and two wetks ago the first official news was hoard from them. After leaviug the United States they went south through Sonora and scaled mountains 9,000 feet in height. Thus far the journey has been a most interesting one from a scientific standpoint Muny specimens of birds and plants were collected, as well as some Important fossils. Cave and cliff dwellings were found, somo of which wore In perfect condition, and bore evidence of having been inhabited by men who had reached a comparatively high stage of culture. Stairs were found In one building. In the largest cave the remains of a whole village wero found, and in front of it stood a huge Mexican water jar, made of clay mixed with straw and very solid, the pottery being eight inches thick. This jar was twelve feet high and of the same diameter, and when first seen presented tho appearance of a huge balloon. A complete skeleton was found In one of the cliff dwelling*, and an examination showed that it had undergone some process of mummification. The country in which the expedition was when hoard from is dotted over with numerous large mouods, some of which it was the intention to open. The country through which Dr. Lumholtx is traveling has never been explored before, at least nothing is known concerning it, aud he will bring back with him much valuable information, which will be an important addition to that which is already known concerning northern Mexico. Many believe the country to be rich in mineral, and should these investigations confirm it there will be a rash for the unknown land as soon as it is knowD.

The premium list for the twenty-sixth fair of the Vigo Agriculture society came from the hands of the printer this week. It contains 64 pages, and the premiums in the various departments aggregate $12,000. Typographically it hi one of the neatest jobs over produced in Terre Haute. It is from tho office of Moore A Langen, who have an enviable reputation aa job printers throughout this entire region, and who are now turning oat work second to none in the country. The excellence of their work is attested by the fact that their establishment is one of the largest in the State, and the demand upon their capacity is steadily Increasing.
