The Chicago Tribune prints a comprehensive review of the condition of the new corn in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kan sas, Nebraska and Dakota, embracing all of the great corn belt especially susceptible to sudden changes in the harvesting season. The reports show, as a whole, that new corn in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa is in a condition anyt'i ng but satisfactory. Much of the crop was reported soft some weeks ago, and the continuance of warm weather has prevented its hardening to any appreciable degree. In many cases it has been found necessary to empty the cribs to dry the corn, which, in several localities is being fed to stock. In some portions of Indiana and on a few bottom lands in Illinois recent floods hawB worked - great injury to the crop still in the fields. Corn from Kansas and Nebraska seed is very generally reported in bad condition. While the yield in Kansas and Nebraska is fully up to the average, there appear to be good grounds for the belief that the quality is not so good as at first reported, and that thsre will be a shortage in the higher grades in those States.

"Say, mister," said fche bad boy to tbe grocery man, aa he came in burying Ha face in a California peav, "it is niiguty kind of you to give away htioIi nice pears as this, but I. don't seeiww you can afford it. I have seen more than twenty people stop and read your sign out there, take a pear and go off chewing it." "What's that," said the grocery man turning pale and starting for the door, where he found a woodgawyer taking a pear. "Get away from there," and he drove the woodsavfyer away and came in with a sign in his hand, on which was printed. "Tate one." "I painted that sign and put it on a pile of chromos of a new clothes-wringer, for people to take one, and, by gum, the wind has blowed that sign over on the basket of psora, and I suppose that every darned fool that has passed this morning has taken a pear, and there goes the profits on the whole day's business. Say, you didn't change that sign, did you?" and the grocery man looked at the bad boy. with a glance that was full of lurking suspicion. "No, sir-ee," said the boy as he wiped tlie pear juice off his face on a piece of tea paper, "I have quit all kinds of foolishness, and wouldn't play a joke on a graven image. But I. went to the Sullivan boxing match all the same, though," and the boy put up his hands like a prize-fighter and backed the grocery man up against a molasses barrel, and made him beg. "Oh, say," said the grocery man, confidentially, "there is a rumor that our minister is a reformed prize-fighter, and an old maid that was in here yesterday says that he has been fighting with your pa. Do you know anything about it?" "Know anything about it?- I know all about it. It was me that brought about the meetincr between them " and the boy dodged away from an imaginary opponent in a prize ring, and tipped over a barrel of ax helves. "Ypju see, me and my chum have a set of boxing gloves, and we go down in the laundry in the basement and box with each other, evening.-. Since I got the Irish boy to box with pa, last summer, and he pasted pa in the nose, pa has not visited the laundry to see us box, tilt last night the minister called to talk with pa about raising money to pay the chtrrch debt, ana tney Heard us down stairs warm ing each other with the gloves, and the minister asked pa what ii was, and pa said the boys were having a little inno cent amusement with .boxiSgaglojws, and he asked the minister if he thought there was any harm in it, and -the min ister said he didn't think there was. He said when he was in college the studt nts used to box in the gymnasium every day, and he enjoyed it very much and got so he didn't take a back seat for any of them. He said the only student that ever got the best of him in boxing was one who is now preaching in Chicago, and ha was the hardest hitter in the college. Pa asked the minister if he wouldn't like to go down cellar and see the boys box, and he said he didn't mind, and so they came down where we were. I felt really ashamed when the minister came down, and was going to apologize, but the minister said he considered boxing the healthiest exercise there was, and if our people would practice more with boxing-gloves and dumb-bells there would be less liver complaint and less need of summer vacations. Me and my chum boxed a couple ot rounds and the minister told us where we made several mistakes, and then pa got excited and wanted the minister to put on the gloves with him, but he said he was out of practice, and he did not know but it would cause talk in the church if it should get out that he had been boxing with one of the members, but pa told him nobody would ever know it, and it would do them both good, and so the minister took off his coat, let his suspenders hang down, rolled up his sleeves, and they put on the gloves. I tell you it was fun for us boys, and I enjoyed it better than a circus. Pa is a pretty hard hitter, bub he hasn't got the wind that the minister has. Pa pranced around, and the minister kept his face guarded, cause he didn't want to have to preach, wifcli a black eye, but .pretty soon pa made a pass at the preacher and took Uim 'biff' rignt on the nose, but he rallied and landed one on pa's stomach, and made pa grunt. The blow on the nose made the minister perspire, and he waa more excited than I ever Baw him when he was preaching, and he danced around pa until he got a good chance and then he landed one on pa's eye, and the other under pa's ear, and pa gave him one on the eye, and hey clinched, and the minister got pa's Lead under his arm and was giving it to pa real hard, just as ma and three of the sisters of the church came down, cellar to sea ma's canned fruit, and the mintiser got pa's leg tangled and threw him against ma and they both went into a elothes b isket of wet clothes, and ma yelled 'police,' and she scratched pa on the side of the face, and the minister turned suddenly and one glove hit

deacon's wife c;tli3 bangs and knocked the bjdr oft and tho minister was ex cited and he said, 'Whoop! I'm a bud man. Thh makes me think of when I was on the turf,' and the woman ydl.Kl murder. Ma picked pa out of tli. clothes basket, and held his head, aai b; wiped his bloody nose cn a pillow case, and pa was mad at the minister or -

striking so hard, and the muiisfcersfids he shouldn't have struck hard only Impasted him on the nose, and pa said itwas no such thing, and referred to my chum, who was referee, and the womea--11 -J !i l-J i ' . hii kiuu 11 was a pei tmhjii aiuipitt w bod o rainlster descend to become a slugger, and I guess they are goingfjx bring the-

minister up before the cojBamittee' and bounce him. We all goMm our coatsand went up stairs, and finally ma furnished some court plaster lor the ministev'a nose, and he went home with two of tho slaters, though they insisted thai he should wear soft gloves, so if he got on a boxing tantrum on the wa home' he couldn't hurt them. The minister 1 felt real bad about hurfcing pa, and pa says that he will never attend that ohurch again, as he should feel alf; the time as though the minister would be liable to escape from the pulpit and knock him out in one round. If the women had kept ont of the cellarnobody would ever have known anything about it, but it is all over town, now. Say, do you think it is right for a minister to hide his talents under a bushel, or should he put on the gloveswhen members of his church want him to?" "By gum, I don't know," said the grocery man. "But if I was a minister, and could box, and anybody went to put on any scollops over me, I would, at least I think I would, from the light I have before me now, knock his two eyes into one. What's the use of learning to box, and then allow folks to boss you around. I have seen some ministers go around in a meek and lowly manner, taking slack from every Deacon in church, and being made tofeel as though he was an .object Of charity, who could whip the whole congregation in a fair, stand-up fight, and I sometimes think if such a minister would get on his ear and knock a few of his persecutors down a couple of pair of stairs, they would have more respect for him. But it is fashionable for ministers to seem to be dependent sort of people, and I sapposa it al wayswill be." "Well, I must go and get a couple of oysters to put on pa's eyes to take out

the black," and the boy went out and put the sign 'take one' on a pile of dressed chickens. Peck's Sim. AMERICAN ItESTLESSKESS. From the beginning, the Americans' have been a migratory people. New Englanders, as we have seen, planted! themsslves in Westchester and on Long; island, came by throngs into New Jersey, and migrated to the more southern colonies. So Virginians helped to people Maryland and North Carolina, migrated north to New York, and even before tho Revolution, began to look wistfully over the mountain barrier into the great interior valley. New York Dutch migrated to South Carolina; some of them settled also in Maine, Pennsylvania and Maryland; while Pennsylvanians, excited by fear of Indian massacre during tbe French, wars, occupied ranch of the mountains and "piedmont" regions of the colonies to the southward. It is said that of 3,000 militiamen of Orange county in North Carolina, during the Revolution every man was a native of Pennsylva nia, mere was an incessant movement to and fro of people seeking to better their condition. Once the European had broken away from his moorings of centuries, the vastness of the new continent piqued him, and he became a rover. This instability ts to place re mains yet in the American character. The mental alertness, which comes of changing circumstances, new scenes and unexpected dilhculties, was early remarked by travelers as a characteristic of the native of the colonies.
