Monday, July 12 th, 1880. 
An exceedingly Interesting experiment Is at 
present taking place at Clarendon Hall, East 13th 
8t., tills city. A man named Dr. Tanner 18 there 
voluntarily Btarvlng himself for the purpose of 
demonstrating to the world that life Is compara¬ 
tively Independent of food, and that he, at least j 
can live for a much longer period, without par¬ 
taking of any nourishment whatever, than has 
hitherto been sanctioned by science. Dr. Tanner 
halls from Minnesota, and he says he has there at 
one time lasted forty consecutive days, and he 
proposes to perform the same feat here. He has 
already passed through thirteen days of his course 
of starvation, and he la confident that he can 
complete the proposed forty days 7 fast without 
difficulty. The hall la open to the public and he 
sleeps and spendB his entire time under the public 
eye. Two doctors of medicine are constantly 
watching him to make sure that no nourishment 
of any kind passes to his lips, the watch being 
changed every six hours. Nobody is remitted to 
communicate with him without being overheard 
by his guard, and every article that he needs for 
comfort undergoes the strictest examination for 
possibly concealed food, before he is permitted to 
get It in hands. He spends much of his time In 
reading, but even a dally newspaper Is examined 
as scrupulously as If It were possible to bide a 
good-sized ham in Us folds. 
During the first five days he lost over two 
pounds of flesh a day, hut after that the loss grad, 
ually subsided and he is uow even gaining per¬ 
ceptibly In weight. At first all visitors to this 
peculiar exhibition were admitted without charge, 
but it was soon found necessary to fix upon an 
entrance fee in order to keep out the numerous 
loafers by profession who found the hall a very 
convenient place to spend their time, and no w an 
entrance fee of twenty-five cents Is charged. Med¬ 
ical men, according to whoso predictions he ought 
to have died several days ago, are losing faith In 
their own skill, and many expect him to drop dead 
at any moment; meanwhile Dr. Tanner continues 
active, In apparently good health and In full pos¬ 
session of his mental faculties. The Interest In¬ 
creases with each passing day, and we shall keep 
our readers Informed upon the subject until the 
close ot the cruel experiment. 
About the 'hind ult,. Victoria's Apaches attacked 
Gov. Louis Terraaa's ranch at San Lorenzo, 
about thirty miles from Chihuahua, killed some 
men and stole about one hundred horses. They then 
attacked Kanch De Sonia Clara, about sixty miles 
from Chihuahua, killing some more men and steal 
lng a large number of horses. Gov. Terrasa, with 
two hundred federal Mexican troops and a large 
body of volunteers, la In pursuit of the baud, the 
trail leading toward the sierra Guzman. Gen. 
Hatch ts making active preparations for another 
campaign upon Victoria's return. Maj. Morrow 
Is ordered to Knight’s ranehe, and Is to scout that 
section of the territory. Col Buell Is ordered to 
Fort Cummings, and will have a farce of nine 
companies of cavalry and live of infantry, and 
will scout and guard the frontier from Fort Cum¬ 
mings to the Kio Grande. Detachments are being 
placed at all exposed points, mining camps and 
ranches. Two companies of cavalry and five 
companies of the 18th Infantry are now en route 
to the Navajoe Indian agency, to keep the Nava- 
joes quiet. A force of two companies of cavalry 
and one of lufantry has been stationed at the 
Nlereolvra Indian reservation, and the reserva¬ 
tion has been turned over to the military.... 
The loss caused by the recent breaking of the 
Sny levee on the Mississippi river, near Quincy, 
111., Is placed at $i,oou,ooo. The crevasse at Cin¬ 
cinnati landing is half a mile wide, and there are 
other breaks. The levee protected a stretch of 
coubtry to miles long and from five to 12 miles 
wide, and a third of the tract, or fully 200,000 
acres of cultivated land, is overflowed.... The cen¬ 
sus man has struck something Interesting away 
downcast InOldtown, Me. He found and “enu¬ 
merated ” a youth 12 years old, named Joseph H- 
Fortier. He 1s the fifth In succession bearing the 
same name. A further circumstance is that each 
of the five was the first-born, and all five were 
born on the first day of April. 
Seth Green’s attempt to grow salt-water fish in 
fresh water proves a failure, the shad and ale- 
wives put into Lake Ontario dyffig in such num¬ 
bers that the stench of their bodies is well-nigh 
Intolerable as they are washed upon the shore. 
Bach fish has a yellow spot with red edges on 
some part ot the body, Out It has not been deter¬ 
mined whether it la due to a parasilo or the fresh¬ 
ness of the water_one af tno scncmea tor prac¬ 
tical telephoning at long distances has taken 
shape In the formation at Albany of the interstate 
Telephone Company, which Is to construct a line 
from Boston to Washington. The enterprise seems 
to be in good hands. Ex-Secretary Benjamin n. 
Bristow is one of the directors, and with him are 
associated on the board Charles S. Smith, Fred¬ 
erick Kuhne and others....What Is called the 
largest elevator in the world has been finished for 
the Washington monument. It will carry 10 
tons to the bight of 500 feet and, after holding 
the material tor finishing the monument will, 
be transformed Into a passenger elevator.... 
Bt. Louis was so “ hopping mad ” when the census 
supervisors retured but 276,09u inhabitants as her 
quota, that a number of public-spirited citizens 
subscribed a fund to pay the letter-carriers for 
finding out Just how many had been missed. The 
earners have turned In 24,200 names overlooked 
altogether, and, while this leaves the Mound City 
100,000 behind rival Chicago, they conceal their 
chagrin under a bitter attack on the careless enu¬ 
merating which skips one name In every 16....

1,076 steamers and 1,822 sailing vessels, cleared 
from Netv York for Europe during 1879 carrying 
192,318,56s bushels of grain.A pretty story 
comes from Nantasket Beach. Miss Hall, a young 
lady of Boston, quarreled with her lover one day 
last week, and to spite him went on a fishing ex¬ 
cursion with a party of young folks, the lover be¬ 
ing excluded. A little way from the shore the 
boat capsized, and Miss Hall was dumped into the 
sea. The young manswatn promptly to the rescue, 
and, though Miss Han would have been saved any- 
now, her lover got the credit of saving her life.... 
The American Institute of instruction was Is ses¬ 
sion at. Saratoga, IS. last week. Wednesday 
evening Kev. George K. Ellis read the paper pre¬ 
pared by Rev. Dr. Barnaa Sears on educational 
progress in the United States during the last 50 
years. During this period the nchool system of 
New England hue spread over all the Western 
States and In the last to years has made good pro¬ 
gress South... .Turkey and Greece seem to be pre¬ 
paring for war, Turkey declining to accept the de¬ 
cision of the late German conference. In Greece 
the enlistment of volunteers, principally Epirotes 
and Thessalians, Is proceeding rapidly. Troops 
are concentrating on the eastern and western fron¬ 
tiers, In consequence of tne concentration of Turk¬ 
ish troops and also to prevent brigand Inroads.

AGRICULTURAL N EWS. 
The seventeen-year locusts have appeared In 
countless numbers in western Pennsylvania and 
West Virginia, and the air is filled with their pe¬ 
culiar noises. They do but little damage to vege¬ 
tation, the principal injury being the 6tlnglng of 
the ends of the branches of oaks and chestnuts, 
which kill the extremities thus punctured. 
As many as 15,000 horses and mules are said to ho 
employed at I^advUle, Colorado, hauling supplies 
and doing other work. It Is estimated that these 
animals consume 3 , 000,000 pounds of grain and 
hay per annum, or the product ot 37,400 acres, be¬ 
ing a much greater extent of land than the State 
sowed last year.As passed by congress, the 
agricultural appropriation bill devotes |7,600 for 
experiments In the manufacture of sugar from 
sorghum and cornstalks, and uow provides for an 
additional chemist and proper appliances. 
There are now so.ooo head of cattle and 8 , 000,000 
sheep 011 the hills and plains of California—a re¬ 
spectable Increase since 1796, when the Spaniards 
there began the business of stock breeding . 
In 1S76, Russia made her first exportation of sugar, 
but now has half a million of acres under sugar 
beets, and sends 65,00o tons of sugar, from her suo 
factories, across the frontiers—... In Oregon this 
year the seasons are luke rvarm and cold. Peach 
trees as far south as Portland were nearly all 
killed by the severity of the winter, and the deli¬ 
cate species ot grapes so successful In California, 
fall entirely In Oregon. Wheat ralsmg and sal¬ 
mon fishing are their productive Industries. 
A cablegram from London on the 9th sayB that 
grain crops have been almost ruined by Immense 
swarms of insects in several parte of Russia, and 
and that the harvest In many parts of Germany 
will be considerably poorer than was con¬ 
fidently anticipated a short time ago. 
APeslh dispatch of July 7, says: “The harvest 
has begun and promises fairly.”.A dispatch 
from Dublin of the same date, says: “ The weather 
all over Ireland up to the present has been most 
favorable. It is expected that the potato crop 
win be enormous. It promises to exceed any thing 
seen In Ireland since the period anterior to the 
famine of 1847. Root and cereal crops are also 
luxuriant. 1 ’.According to a cablegram of 
July 8th, the reports from different provinces of 
the Prussian monarchy on the harvest prospects 
prove that the alarm which arose alter the cold 
days of May, was In a great measure justified. 
The corn harvest will be very small In all the 
northern districts, and It is reckoned that only 60 
per cent of the ordinary harvest will be got in. 
Reports from Russia, Hungary, and Galicia also 
announce tnat a great deficit la expected. 
In response to a letter of Inquiry as to the proper 
construction of the act passed by the last Congress 
amending the Internal Revenue laws so as to 
exempt, certain dealers in leaf tobacco from the 
the $25 license tax, the commissioner of internal 
Revenue on June 18 made the following decision: 
First —In regard to the amount of leaf tobacco 
branded by such dealers, their sales and consign¬ 
ments cannot exceed 26 ,wu pounds in any one 
special tax year. .Second—Tills class of dealers 
can only purchase or receive leaf tobacco In the 
hand, nitra —Dealufaunder this $5 special tax 
can only sell or sale, or consign for sale 
on commission, such real tobacco as they purchase 
or receive directly from fanners or planters who 
have produced the same on land owned, rented or 
leased by them, or received as rent from tenants, 
etc. Dealers In leaf tobacco who purchase or re¬ 
ceive tobacco from persons other than farmers or 
planters who produced It themselves, or received 
it as rent from their tenants who produced it; 
that Is to say, all persons who purchase or receive 
leaf tobacco which has passed from the possession 
of the producer, or his landlord, into the pos¬ 
session of other parties, anti sell, or offer It 
for Bale, or consign It for sale on commission, 
are liable to pay the special tax of |26, irre¬ 
spective of the amount of tholr sales or ship¬ 
ments In any one special tax year.There 
has been a considerable disturbance at St. Patii 
lately among grain dealers and others about ru¬ 
mors of the prospective failure of the wheat crop 
In Minnesota The worst reports came from the 
southeastern portion of the State, where rust, 
blight and chinch bugs are said to be ruining the 
crop. Reports from other parte of the State are 
lens gloomy, but along the sc. Paul, Minneapolis 
and Manitoba railroad It is claimed that It has 
suffered greatly from excessive ram ana hail 
Btorms. Telegraphic Inquiries made through the 
State show that these reports are greatly exag¬ 
gerated. The wheat crop In the southeastern 
part of the State, on old lands and near the river, 
has suffered greatly from wet weather and floods. 
The warm weather following rain has Induced 
rust. Wheat, though not yet dangerously In¬ 
jured, will become so unless checked by cool, dry¬ 
ing days this month. On some of the lowlands 
near the river, something like blight appears to 
have attacked the stalk. Several counties are 
suffering severely from chinch bugs. As the re¬ 
sult of all these causes, It Is estimated that the 
crop In Olmstead, Winona, Wabash, and Houston, 
all heavy wheat-growing counties, will fall from 
20 to 36 per cent, below the average. In the south¬ 
western and central frontier counties the outlook 
Is much better, while the reports of damage in the 
north and Red River VaUey are thought to he 
without foundation. There the weather has been 
favorable since the storms ceased, and the prospect 
for a crop of good q uallty Is excellent. The serious 
damage la confined to the southeast. 
The Mark Lane Express of July «, in Its review 
of the British grain trade the past week, says : 
The weather has been fairly seasonable, and crops 
have made further steady progress, though advices 
relative to oats are somewhat variable. The sup¬ 
ply of English wheat la very sinuU, but difficult 
to sell, though holders willingly offered conces¬ 
sions of one aud.aometlmes twoshUUngs per quart¬ 
er. Imports of foreign wheat fair, hut not exces¬ 
sive. Though granary stocks are reduced to al¬ 
most an unprecedented point, yet as long as the 
arrivals suffice to meet the immediate wants of 
buyers, they can afford to disregard the present 
moderate extent of arrivals in the confident anti¬ 
cipation of a future abundance, to which every¬ 
thing seems to point. A large Continental demand 
has hitherto been the chief influence in favor of 
sellers; but, as the French harvest Is now almost 
due, continental needs mustsbortly cease to affect 
the situation. In short, the weather, despite, some 
rain, has been too fine lor the trade. Wheat de¬ 
clined one shilling to two shillings In the week. 
Even Russian has fallen, despite the extreme 
scarcity. Business of all descriptions very limited.

There are three or four other estimates, such as 
that by the Agricultural Department, and that by 
the Cotton Exchanges ol the South, all of which 
differ a trifle in the estimate of the yield and area 
under the crop; but all agree that it will probably 
be an exceptionally large one. 
False Reasoning;, 
Suppose a machine should fall to perform Its 
work, and the owner. Instead of trying to ascer¬ 
tain tho cause or failure and remedy U, should 
conclude to run right along, and argue that as the 
machine had heretofore come around ail right, it 
would Boon be 80 again, U a general and per¬ 
manent break-down ensued could anybody bo 
blamed butblraselt ? Now, precisely In this way do 
people act and argue when the “ human machine ” 
la out of order. When the liver la “ torpid ” and 
bowels constipated every one knows that Dr. 
Rleroe's Pleasant Purgative Pellets afford prompt 
and permanent relief. Yet some guess the “ ma¬ 
chine” will come around all right, and do-nothing. 
Could any system of false reasoning be more per¬ 
nicious ? Suppose the blood be out of order and 
tbere be pimples, ulcers or running sores with 
scrofulous tumors, swellings and general debility, 
and those thus affected should refuse to use Dr. 
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, guessing that 
the blood would purity itself, could anybody be 
blamed but themselves, if a general and permanent 
break-down of health ensued? No remedy yet 
known equals the Discovery In curing all scrofu¬ 
lous, throat, bronchial and lung diseases. Hold by 
druggists. ^ ^ ^_ 
The Universal V^dlct. 
The Youths’ Companion, one ot the most con¬ 
servative papers published, says of the Robbins’s 
Family Washer and Bleacher: 
“ This washer is very simple In construction, yet 
It la the best we have ever known. We speak from 
ex.penmi*. when wo say this. It is truly the 
woman’s friend, for witn It the hard work of 
washing almost disappears, livery housekeeper 
kuows uiat ordinary modes of washing are apt to 
wear the clothing. With the Robins's v> aaher there 
la absolutely no wear at all, even to the most deli¬ 
cate lace fabric. We have known of this washer 
for several years, but we had no Idea that It was 
such a prize until we were Induced lo give It a 
trial, and now with us It has taken Its place as a 
household necessity. ” 
it is manufactured and sold by the Bissell mt’g 
C o., 60 Barclay Street, New York.

The Amekican Boo* Exchange.— This house t 
which Is advertising standard and valuable books 
so largely, at such marvelously low prices, reports 
a remarkably lively business for the season of the 
year, a season when people are not supposed to 
read much •* solid ” literature, and booksellers *• go 
fishing ” because they have no oustomers. Not a 
day passes that they do not reoelve telegraphic 
orders. The little three-oent books are going at 
the rate of nearly 100,000 a week. Tho “ Library' 
of Universal Knowledge” has already reached a 
sale of nearly half a million volumes. 
Kidney-Wort Is a remedy which removes 
foul humors from the blood, and creates healthy 
action in every organ. Bold by all druggists. 
Torpid kidneys and liver lead to gravel, diabetes, 
constipation, piles and rheumatism. Kidney- 
Wort la the surest and safest remedy to use.
