MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. 
Monday, June 28Ch, 1890. 
Reports from tlie Mississippi state that the river 
rose very high last week and flooded the surround¬ 
ing country. A speolal from McGregor. Iowa, 
says that the Mississippi River has risen over 
20 feet. Travel on all roads is cut off, except 
west of St. Paul. Saw mills are Btopped, and bus¬ 
iness la at a stand-still. Hundreds of thousands 
of tons of ice were carried off by the waters. The 
freshet comes from the Wisconsin River; above 
that point the river Is falling. The stage is now 
13 Inches below the high-water mark of 1ST0. 
Wood dealers have lost 1,000 cords of wood, which 
tumbled into the water and floated away. Travel 
north 1 b abandoned, and there are no trains either 
way...,The Wesleyan Chapel, in City-road, Lon¬ 
don, founded by John Wesley, which was par¬ 
tially destroyed by fire In December last, has been 
restored, and was reopened the 20th ult —ah epi¬ 
demic- of a peculiar character broke out In North 
Adams, Mass, a week ago. The town has o.ooo 
inhabitants and of t hese over 1,000 were suddenly 
taken sick one evening, all suffering in the same 
manner from severe pains in the stomacn. Toward 
morning the majority got better and soon all re¬ 
covered, no case proving fatal. Some relapses have 
since occurred. The cause of tho disorder which 
was at first very puzzling is now laid to the water 
Two ministers of the Gospel. Rev. John s. in- 
klp and Rev, John A. Wood, started with their 
wives from New York on the 20th ult. on an 
evangelical tour around the world... According to 
an official statement of the chiet civil authority 
In the District of Lauban, near Breslau, Prussia, 
recent torrential rains have killed 56 persons and 
destroyed 105 houses. .Swiss papers state that 
the St. Gothard tunnel is In great danger ot falling 
In. Land-slips continue to threaten the masonry i 
and the engineers think that the only way to 
avert the danger Is to modify the line traced out 
lor the tunnel .. The commanding general of the 
military division of the Pacific has been ordered 
to prevent an invasion of Mexico by armed forceg 
and the observance of the neutrality laws.... 
The Government ts having great success 
with the fish-hatching establishment in Wash¬ 
ington. This season It has hatched out nearly 
twenty million shad. Of these nearly fifteen 
million have been turned into the Potomac. .. 
The colored oadet, Whittaker, at West Point, 
who a few weeks ago figured so conspicuously in 
the press of the country while the outrage upon 
him was being investigated, was at the. examina¬ 
tion ot his class found deficient in philosophy. It 
may be a consolation to his friends, however, as 
well as to himself, to know that the questions 
which he failed to answer satisfactorily were put 
by "Prof. Mlchie” and “ Capt. sears,” iwomemoers 
of the Faculty who were strongly' opposed to him 
throughout his recent ordeal, and who pronounced 
him guilty of outraging blhlseU. The questions 
were: “ What do you understand as to the surface 
of electricity.”’ and “ What is a wave’s suriacev” 
Capt. Sears was not satisfied with his answers to 
these, and when told to explain the principles that, 
govern the Galilean telescope, on the board, Prof. 
Mlchie pronounced his figure wrong, and told him 
to take his seat. With this the curtain dropped 
on cadet Whittaker, and his dreams ot military 
glory were forever doomed to remain unreallted. 
The National Democratic Convention met at 
Cincinnati on the 22d ult. Judge Hoadley was 
chosen temporary chairman. Toward evening on 
the 23 d the first ballot was taken, In widen Gen. 
Hancock took the lead. When the convention 
again met, on the forenoon of the 24th, the ballov 
ing was renewed, and Winfield Scott Hancock, of 
Pennsylvania, was nominated lor President on the 
fourth ballot, and shortly after W. H. Fngllsh, of 
Indiana, received the nomination tor Vice-Presi¬ 
dent. __ 
AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
That first barrel of of flour from this season’s 
growth, that was sold in this city, on May 7, for 
$ 15 , for the benefit of the Episcopal church of 
Arnei lous. Ga,, and which was resold In London, 
England, lor $25, to be devoted to tho same object, 
at last came Into the hands of tho queen's baker, 
who has presented a loaf or bread made of It to 
Her Majesty. At the same time he sent a small 
loaf thereof to some ot his other distinguished cus¬ 
tomers, with the following circular: “ We take 
the li^ty of forwarding in you a small loaf made 
froinWur oi this year’s crop. Such an early pro¬ 
duction in the month of May ts an unheard of 
novelty, and almost incredible. Of the many won¬ 
ders we who have the good fortune to live in the 
nineteenth cent ury have been the witnesses, we 
venture to think that to eat bread which la the 
result ot the 1 S 8 U harvest in May, 18S0, la not one 
of the least marvelous.” That puff is, most Ukely, 
the last ot it, yet here's a mile more:—the seed of 
the wheat ot which iiwfts made was sowed Nov.

tained the gold medal from the Royal Agricultural 
Society (Ireland) tor his tenants’ cottages In the 
county oi cork, which, according to the Judges, com¬ 
bine comfort, accommodation and economy m a 
remarkable manner, being not only the best hut 
the cheapest In the competition. All the materials 
used In building them were obtained from the 
estate, and the cost has been found to be $150.56 
each, without offices, or $494.54 with offices.... The 
export of champagne to foreign countries, from 
France, has greatly increased of late. According 
to an official return, the champagne stored in the 
cellars of Kheuns amounted on the 1st of last 
April to 08,540,802 bottles. From the 1st o£ April, 
1879, to the 1st of April, 1890, 17,171,164 bottles 
were sent out, of whloh 16 , 000,000 were for foreign 
countries-1,750,617 more than in the correspond¬ 
ing period from 1878 to 1870....The unfavorable 
weather of last summer In Germany and France 
has, among other causes, contributed to stimulate 
very considerably the export wine trade of Italy. 
The consumption of Italian wines abroad, how¬ 
ever, was even previously largely on the increase. 
Thus, while the quantity exported from the Pen¬ 
insula during the first quarter of 1877 was only 97,- 
095 hectolitres, It rose to 145,866 hectolitres in the 
same period In 1878, and Increased to20i,663 hecto¬ 
liters In the first three months of 1879. For the 
corresponding period of 1880 the quantity exported 
has shot up nearly lml per cent, further, the re¬ 
turns showing that, In that period no less than 
491,311 hectolitres of Italian wines were Bent 
abroad, The hectolUtre contains 26 * gallons... 
Augustus Mongredlen, a prominent political 
economist, estimates that the farmers of our great 
Central and Western States expend annually *i,- 
400,000,000 In manufactured goods. He Is writing 
In favor of Free Trade.... Last year Indiana stood 
first In the yield of wheat per acre—20.3 bushels. 
The average of all the States was only 18 bushels. 
.Cows are going blind in the neighbor¬ 
hood of Jackson, Tennesee, and no cause can 
be assigned tor so remarkable a disease.... 
The Lexington (Ky.) Record, a trustworthy au¬ 
thority, has figured up that “last year there were 
2,710 horse races, occupying in ail *78 days. The 
valued the stakes amounted to $2,600,000. The 
winner of the Derby made $35,000. The races last¬ 
ed trom February to November. Noblemen were 
the greatest participants. The Record shows that 
the trotting time for a mile has been lowered rrom 
three minutes in 1820 , to 2:12*, Oct. 25, 1879 -81. 
.Julian at San Francisco.”.... A movement, origin¬ 
ated by Sir Andrew Galt and a few enthusiasts, Is 
on foot tor a British emigration scheme on a gigan¬ 
tic scale. The ldeu Is a combination of the lead¬ 
ing classes to help out with aid from the State em¬ 
igration to British colonies, for It Is noted with 
alarm that those now seeking elbow room outside 
the strained and crowded limits of England go to 
swell the growth and greatness of the United 
States, Instead of aiding to build up the colonies. 
In 15 years, out or 2 , 000,000 ot people wno left the 
United KlDgdomror lauds beyond the sea, only a 
quarter of a million went to Canada, seven out of 
every eight (i,760,ooo) going to tho United States. 
A convention for the purpose of promoting Im¬ 
migration, especially into the northwest of the 
State, was held at Sheldon. la., on June 22. Ac¬ 
cording to all reports that scctlOD Is now highly 
prosperous In all material Interests. In many 
counties large attention Is being devoted to dairy 
products and stock-growing, while the statements, 
in regard to grain-growing and agricultural inter¬ 
ests generally were ot a very flattering character. 
It was shown that there are hundreds of thous¬ 
ands of acres of choice lands sttU open to settle¬ 
ment which may be had at $3 to $10 an acre, and 
that the immigration of thrifty settlers to north¬ 
western Iowa was never so large as now ...The 
Mark Lane Express of June 21, the last before we 
go to press, says: u Rains at the beginning of the 
week, and subsequent, sunshine, materially im¬ 
proved the condition of cereals. Although the 
wheat plant In some places is reported thin, gener¬ 
ally speaking, there are sanguine hopes of a fail- 
average crop. The prospects of barley ore also 
favorable. The supplies of English wheat in both 
Mark-iane and the Provinces have continued 
small, and the sales restricted. There has been 
an occasional decline of Is. per quarler for inferior 
descriptions. The demand for the little fine white 
English wheat which was on offer has doubtless 
been interfered with the large arrivals of Austra¬ 
lian. The imports of foreign into London consisted 
almost entirely of white irom Australia, New 
Zealand and India. Trade has been less firm. The 
consumptive requirements of the country during 
the next two months should be quite sufficient to 
neutralize the tendency to discount the effects of 
a good home crop, while the Continent may be re¬ 
lied upon to relieve us of a fair proportion oi the 
shipments from America. Purchases durlug the 
past week have been for present requirements. 
All descriptions of white wheat receded is. under 
the pressure of large supplies. Red has not shared 
the decline, as the stocks of American and Russian 
now remaining In London are sufficiently low to 
warrant, holders in showing great firmness. It 
needs omy a slight increase in demand to advance 
prices is. or 2s., aa Russia is shipping hardly any, 
while red Winter American has been bought off 
the coast for the continent, and large quantities 
have also been shipped thither direct. The mar¬ 
kets will now, to a great extent, be influenced by 
the weather, but there does not seem to be much 
probability of the price oi wheat varying greatly 
from that of tire previous harvest. If, however, 
the present crop prospects upon both hemispheres 
are realized, the trade will have to deal with an 
unprecedented surplus of breadBtuffs Arrivals 
at ports oi call have been limited, but prices are 
drooping. The coast Is still hare ot maize—. 
The visible supply oi wheat In the United states 
on June 12 was nearly is,ooo,ooo bushels, or 4,000,- 
uoo more than at the same time last year . .The 
total value of breadstuffs exported duglng eleven 
months ended May 31, 1S80, was $247,695,101, 
against, ft S3,974.061 last year A Buffalo paper of 
List Saturday says: “ in round numbers a, 000,000 
bushels of grain were shipped to tire east by canal 
durlDg tho week now ending, while the amount 
afloat on thecanal Is not far from 5 . 000,000 bushels. 
. Fifteen years ago Chicago merchants obtained 
their supplies of cheese from the East, while now 
100 , 000,000 pounds pass through that city annual¬ 
ly for New York. One manufacturer In Western 
New Pork has over 40 factories, while others In 
different parts ot the country have five to 30 each, 
. .The Army worm la leaving bare the fields of 
Stratford, Fairfield. Newton, and about Danbury, 
Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford, Conn. One 
farmer counted 44 worms In the space covered by 
his hand, and 627 in a square foot, and In some 
places tire ground seems a moving mass uf 11 te, 
muffling the sound of carriage wheels on the 
road. The worm has eaten bare 100 acres of the 
Cromwell meadows, a rich tract of land near 
Middletown.... The production of honey Is becom¬ 
ing an interest of some importance. It is estimat¬ 
ed that there are about 9,000,000 bee-hives in the 
United States, each yielding on an average about 
22 pounds of honey and a revenue of about $8,000,- 
000. and, In addition the Industrious bees supply 
us with 24,000,000 pounds ot wax. ..Dispatches 
from Constantinople speak of the breaking out 
of the plague of locusts In Asiatic Turkey and 
throughout the region of the Caucasus. Intelli¬ 
gence trom Kara states that 20.000 men are em¬ 
ployed in efforts to dest roy these pests, and that 
the damage already done in the districts from 
Kars to Astraehan. and from Astrachan to the 
Black Sea, is enormous. Vast swarms have In¬ 
vaded Southern Russia and the army there has 
been called out to aid the people in exterminating 
or checking them. The accounts of their vast 
numbers are almost incredible ... Owen Buck of 
Oceanic, Md had a vicious, kicking horse, which 
he was anxious to sell. While trying to make a 
bargain wltn a probable purchaser, he remarked: 
“ That horse Is so gentle that my little girl could 
go up behind him and twist his tall, and he 
wouldn't raise a roof.” The girl overheard this 
lie. took It for the truth, tried the experiment being 
left alone wtth the horse and was killed by a kick. 
The annual meeting of the Entomologlal Club of 
the American Association forthe Advancement of 
Science, will be held at the Museum of the Boston 
Society of Natural History, corner of Berkeley and 
RoylBtan streets, Boston, commencing at 2 p. m. 
Tuesday, August 24. 1890. it Is proposed to send 
to every member of the American Association, 
and to all others who may favor the undersigned 
with their address for that purpose, a circular an¬ 
nouncing the special subjects which will he pre¬ 
sented at this meeting Of the Club; and therefore 
all entomologists who desire to read communica¬ 
tions at that time are requested to notify one of 
the undersigned before August 1st. Tbts will 
ensure a fuller discussion of the topics presented, 
and. It Is hoped, a larger attendance.—Samuel H.

$500 Reward—Catarrh. Cured. 
Some people would rather he humbugged than 
to get “value received” for their money. Hence It 
Is that such persons run after this and that pre¬ 
tended cure for catarrh, forgetting that Dr. Sage’s 
Catarrh Remedy is so positive In its effects, that 
Its former proprietor advertised It for years 
throughout the United States under a positive 
guarantee, offering $500 reward for an incurable 
case and was never called upon to pay this reward 
except In two cases. This remedy has acquired 
such a fame that a branch office has been estab¬ 
lished in London, England W supply the foreign 
demand lor It. Sold by dnrgglstsal so cents. 
UNABLE TO BREATHE THROUGH NOSE. 
poRTLANDViLLK, Iowa, March 11th, 1879. 
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Dear Sir: -some time ago I 
bought a Douche, some of your Dr. Sages' Catarrh 
Remedy and Golden Medical Discovery and com¬ 
menced to use them. The aches and pains as 
well as sore throat and catarrh from which I have 
been for so long a time a sufferer, have entirely 
left me with their use. I feel like a new man as 
well as look tike one. For four years I was unable 
to breathe through my nose. From the use of the 
Catarrh Remedy I can now do so freely. Your 
medicines l know to he all that they are repre¬ 
sented. Long live Dr. Pleroe and the gentlemen 
connecte 1 with him. Gratefully yours, 
Watson Smith.

The Literary Revolution. 
The climax in cheap book-making has surely 
been reached In the twelve little books advertised 
elsewhere by the American Book Exchange, of New 
York. They are worth getting merely as curiosi¬ 
ties, even If they were not each of them intrinsi¬ 
cally valuable. A great point to be commended In 
the “ Revolution ’’ publications is that they are all 
books of high literary character and worthy of 
universal circulation.

Tlie Premier Shot Gun. 
We wish to call special attention to the advertise¬ 
ment of tjhe premier Shot Gun. We have personally 
examined and own one of these guns, it Is the 
handsomest and best single breech-loading shot 
gun In the market, equal In all particulars to high- 
priced double guns, and much better than a cheap 
double barrel. They are exactly aa represented 
in the advertisement In every particular, and are 
well worth fis to $ 20 . No sportsman should neg¬ 
lect to purchase one, for at the advertised price 
they <*re a rare bargain. The advertisers are one 
of the best known and most reliable firms in the 
trade, and manufacture the Premier Gun them¬ 
selves. They are offered at the wholesale price 
to reduce a very large stock during the Summer 
months.
