These buoys are of English manufacture and are said to burn continuously for three months. In order to try them the last Congress appropriated $30,009 for fifteen buoys to * cost not more than $2,000 each. The * board has just been informed that the $2,000 limit is insufficient to purchase the buoys, as they cannot be bought for les- than $2,700. This cuts off all possibility of getting the new device for the lakes and practically nullifies the $30,(.09 for lighthouse purposes. Fraz’l’s Pres d nt 111. The city of Rio Janeiro is in a state of great excitement. President Da Fonseca is a very sick man and the most alarming reports of his condition are in circulation.

A New York paper says that ex-Pres-ident R. B. Hayes, who suffered last winter from a severe attack of the grip, has had his memory affected as an after . effect of the disease. He can talk but a minute or two when he forgets the topic of conversation. A cloud seems at inter- j vals to obscure his.mej.tal vision, and ho must pause until it passes and leaves his mind free again. Even then on most occasions he has completely forgotten what he has just been talking about. Mr. i Hay es feels his misfortune keenly, but' his friends all hope that his affliction will not be protracted.

The coal company claimed that the Memphis hau ed coal from Carbon Center. Mo , to Kansas City for other co ...ies. notably the Keith & Perry Ct apany, in which the Memphis is said to be interested, cheaper than it made the same haul for the Sewell Compony. The suit was brought in the State court. The railway company claimed that the State court could have no jurisdiction, inasmuch as a ] art of the haul was made through the State of Kansas, and it will take an appeal. Ix a voice that admits of no misunderstanding the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in session at Detroit. has vetoed the appointment of Dr. Chas. A. Briggs, professor elect in Union Theological Seminary.

FOREIGN GOSSIP. , The differences between the Germans Snathe Czechs at Prague are manifesting themselves with an intensity that threatens trouble. The Czechs use only the color and arms of the Bohemian crown—that is, of Bohemia, Moravia ami Silesia—whereus the Germans decorate their houses and clubs exactly in the colors of Austria —black and yellow. The two races are ceasing to mingle, politically or socially, and much embarrassment is caused to the German officials by the Czechs insisting on the use of the Bohemian language. \ James M< Henry, well known as the principal Htteant in the suits against the management ot tho Erle Kaluga oowa yours ago, died in London. The Christian missions at Nankin Wave been attacked and pillaged by natives. Tho Ininates narrowly escaped with their lives.

CONDITION OF CROPS. i ; TILLERS OF THE SOIL EXPECT A ' GOOD HARVEST. Wheat in Some Sections of Minnesota anti tho Dakotas Injured by Drought and I'rost—ln Illinois Corn Has Been I)amuged by Insects and Many Farmers Atu Now Iteplantlng—Reiiorts from Southern States. Showers In tho spring-wheat region of Minnesota and the Dakotas during the last week have been light and not well distributed, and in some localities some injury has resulted from drought and frost, but crops are doing fairly well. In the States of the Missouri Valley the weather was gen* rally favorable for small grains, but It was too cold for corn. The drought In No;theast Nebraska has been relieved by generous rains In Kansas all crops were improved, especially wheat, which is well headed. Prospects arc reported as generally good in lowa and Missouri; frost did little damage; in some sections corn is being replanted, owing to damage by cut worms, and in a small area wheat was plowed under on account of injury by Hessian fly. Missouri reports wheat average; meadows never better, and fruit, except apples, continue excellent. In Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois rain was very light and badly tanka *'■» was Kenorally lajiirlou®!' e<:t tlie wee k Many farmers in Illinois are replanting corn on a m ount of its injury from insects. Grasses and grain are dying in isconsin on account of droughts, and some fruits are injured by frosts in Michigan. Indiana and Illinois, however, report grain in good condition and the indications are that the pending drought will be succeeded by general rain within forty-eight hours. Crops were generally improved by recent rains in Ohio, although frosts in ured wheat in northern sections. Cool weather has retarded all growth in Kentucky, where the outlook is not promising and wheat lias been injured by rust Local show ts have given temj orary relief in Tennessee, Arkansas and northern portions of Louisiana, but in localities nut so favored cotton has been injured and in some sections p owed up and corn planted instead. In Texas, where nail injured crops, cotton has been replanted and reports state that corn, cotton and wheat are in good condition. 1 he drought continues over the greater portion of I onisiana. and all crops are more or les* injured. In the east portion of the cotton region the prospects are much more favorable, owing to recent rains, but the cool, cloudy weather was unfavorable, though South Caro Ina reports the crops in good condition. Excessive rains in central North Carolina, attended by cold weather, retarded growth, while drought continues in the vicinity of Wilmington. OLD TIMES RECALLED. Col. Kind's Property Is Restored to Him. The Supreme Court of Tennessee has rendered a decision in one of the most sensational cases ever tri»d in this country, and in which murdeTplayed an important part It was from the chancery docket, and was that of 11. Clay King vs. Mary E. Pillow. King is the author of “King’s Digest of Tennessee,” and has a reputation throughout the South for brilliancy ns a lawyer and courage as a soWTcfr. Hr fitted out a company of cavalry for the Confederates during the war, mounting his men on horses bred bj’ himself in Kentucky. He fought his way to the command of a regiment and “Clay Kind’s Tigers” made a name as the most desperate regiment of cavalry in the West, not even excepting Forrest's troopers. King is now in jail on a charge of murder. Mary E. Pillow is the widow of General Gideon J. Pillow, of Mexican war and ch 11 war fame, and a woman of rare qualiti s of mind and person. She and King formed a liaison about ten y< ars ago, and oecupiel the King manor house, about forty miles from Memphis. The I artnershlp was alleged to be a pureiy business affair, but Mrs. Grundy said otherwise It was an open secret that King was very much in love with Mrs. Pillow, and about three years ago he filed a bill in chancery asking the court to divorce him from his own wife, stating । as a reason that he wanted to marry | Mrs. Pillow. The bill never saw tho i light at that time, for King withdrew it. before the newspapers got hold of it. A short time later Mrs. Pillow ti ed deeds from Colonel King giving her all of his property—plantations in Arkansas and real estate in Memphis- in consideration of his having a home under her roof during his life. Still there was no scandal, but finally the fair widow ousted the Colonel from the plantation. He then filed a bill against her in chancery reciting that she had swindled him out of his estate. The widow came back at him with a voluminous cross bill charging him with robbing her and trying to force her to live with him He ' responded with an an w r containing i a stack of love letters from Mrs. Pillow to himself The case was tried last fall, and King won it. The affair was supposed to be settled but it was not, for on the 22d day of last March King met Mrs. Pillow's attorney, David H. Posten, on Main street and shot him without a word of warning. Posten died the next day. On account of the prominence of the murdeier and his victim the tragedy created intense excitement. Posten was very popular with brother lawyers and King is decidedly unpopular, consequently he has found it nece sary employ non-resident lawyers to assist in defending him. The Supreme Court has now rendered a decision in the suit of King vs. Pillow, affirming the < hancellor’s decree. This puts King in a better shape financially to fight for his life in the Criminal Court than he would otherwise have been, but public feeling against him is very strong, and unless he dies in jail, which is not unlikely, as he is 65 years oid, he will probably be found guilty of mur ler. His counsel have endeavored to get a change of venue, but. failed. <»!<!-World Nanins. Corsica signifies a woody place. .Etna signifies a furna 'o. dark or smoky.

SOUGHT IIIS SON IN VAd j COUNT KAROLYI’S MISSION IN AMERICA. 1 lio Former lYemier of tlio Austrian EmP ro Visits Flits Country In Search ot His H-ir, Who, After Gotti„ s Into the (lutche- of a of Vienna Usurers, Llopod with an Adventuress, but Returns W Ithout Him. r A ,cttor Vienna savs that Count Stephen Karolyi, one of tho most powerful and wealthy members of the old Hungar.an aristociacy. has just returneo there from the United States without having succeeded in his mission. Ihe object of this journey across the Atlantic was to recover his son, the young Count George, who landed in Boston accompanied by an actress named Banska Frank, tho star of one of the lourth-rate theaters of Buda Posth. According to tho statements of the old tount, the woman forms part of a gang or \ ienna usurers, whose solo object Is to exploit the family of tho young man. Hie latter has boon in their power for mure than a year and it was only when, oward the end of last summer, he was on the point of making a full confession, to his father of his troubles and of appealing to him to save him from their clutches, that the gang, fearing to lose their prey, causing Bariska to induce him to elope with her to America. In February tho Count received the news that his son had married the acUm?: aud lie immediately set out for the he begaTa’•search 7oVYM™ Boston. Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, San Francisco, Baltimore, Atlanta and New Orleans. At the latter place all traces of the couple were lost. The Count accordingly returned to Vienna. The object, of the gang in keeping father and son apart will be easily appreciated when it is stated that the young Count is an only son and legally entitled on the death of his father to at least one-half of the latter’s vast fortune. According to the Hungarian laws he cannot be disinherited, and is, therefore, being persuaded to discount his future inheritance at a ruinous rate by the gang. FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL. Funds Fairly Well Employed—Fair Prices Kxpected lor Produce. From one end of the country to the other business is seasonably active, and the general omTO».'jc_J^-?xceptionally bright. The month of May is always richer in prospects than in results, however, and this year it has not violated the time-honored rule, says the Inter Ocean. In a negative way a good deal of ground has been gained. The usual labor disturbances have proven remarkably insignificant outside the iron, regions of Pennsylvania, and even thero a final settlement has happily been reached. The enemies of the grain crops have not carried on their ordinary work of devastation in the principal agricultural sections, and the European consuming markets have not spent a very great amount of money or energy in depressing the prices for our produce. Then, again, the United States has sent nearly $30,0.10,000 in gold to Great Britain and Europe during the past month without causing the slightest semblance of financial distress in this country. When resumption occurred the Treasury held $114,000,000 in gold, besides that held for certificates that was all the gold appuicnl hi country; now there is about $214,000,000 in the Treasury, and about $400,000,000 in circulation in the country, or was May 1. Russia's seemingly insatiable demands for the yellow metal are yet quite inexplicable to financiers on this side of the Atlantic, and no satisfactory excuse for their continuence has been made by foreign bankers. This enormous gold export from New York has had a strongly conservative influence upon both the speculative and legitimate interests, and served to keep loanable funds fairly well employed at profitable rates of interest. But the chief end of this peculiar condition of financial affairs will be one of great protit to America. It will demonstrate to the world at large that the United States is a nation of immense monetary resources, as well as a land of unparallelled powers of [ reduction. The apparent ease withwhUh our markets have absorbed the tens of millions of American securities that foreign holders have returned us since last autumn has given them a higher place in the estimation of investors abroad than whole decades of wise and honest administration and any amount of handsome interest.bearing operations would do. Last November the great Bank of England was forced to ca'l upon the leading financial institution of the most prominent republic of Europe to relieve its pe uniary distresses and in order to avert a world-v 4. panic. For more than a month now tho proud old monarchies of Great Britain and Europe ' have sought monetary aid and support ' from the most prosperous republic of the ■ “New Woild. ” There are in these two ' statements a decidedly significent suggestion to the subjects of kings and princes, and one not unworthy of consideration by some of our own dissatisfied people. In another direction the course of events abroad of late has been of benefit te Americans in a prospective manner. The French Government has reduced its duty on wheat for the period of ten months, from August, 1891, to June 1, 1832, while the Chamber of Deputies has 1 passed a bill providing for the storage of ; grain in every fortified town in France sufficient to feed all citizens for two [ months in ca;e of war. The Municipal ( Council at Berlin has also voted in favor ; of suspending the tariff on cereals. In the meantime the weather has gen- ; orally been favorable to our growing ; grain crops, and general business has been conducted in a healthily active way ; for the season. Even the iron trade has developed symptoms of expansion. Speculation is well within bounds every where, and the situation is exceptionally free from pyrotechni s hi all quarters.
