The police will not permit Anarchist Lucy 
Parsons to lecture in Chicago. Many say she 
ought to be allowed to speak and be punished 
"for any criminal language she might use. 
All reports about the recall of Minister Phelps 
from England are said to be unfounded 
-On December 23, the steamboat Kate 
Adams, one of the finest and swiftest boats 
on the Mississippi, was burned near Com¬ 
merce, Mississippi, about 40 miles below 
Memphis, Tenn. She had about 200 persons 
on board of whom 80 belonged to the crew. 
All those in the cabiu escaped, but 50 of the 
deck hands and passengers perished. The 
officers and crew behaved bravely and saved 
many lives.Pawnee Bill is the 
new leader of the Oklahoma boomers who are 
said to number from 10,000 to 14,000 in South¬ 
western Kansas and Western Arkansas. 
Wichita is at present the headquarters. Some 
want to march at once; but it appears to be 
the opinion of the majority that they ought 
to wait for the result of the Oklahoma bill now 
before Congress. Should this be unfavor¬ 
able they will start at once, “using 
arms only for self-protection.”. 
Christmas Day the steamboat JohnH. Hanna 
was burned on the Mississippi near Plaquemi¬ 
nes, La., and over 30 of the passengers and 
crew were burned to death or drowned. The 
pilot, Jim Givens, acted as heroically as Jim 
JBludso, keeping the vessel’s nose to the bank 
though his eyes were burned in their sockets 
and his ribs laid bare by the flames. The hero 
died in great agony a few hours later . 
On Christmas day 37 of the principal build¬ 
ing in Marblehead, Mass , were cremated, in¬ 
cluding several factories. Indeed, most of the 
town was burned. Nearly 1.500 persons have 
been thrown out of employment. Distress is 
great and pressing and public charity is 
earnestly solicited.The most start¬ 
ling train robbery in years is that of the Cen¬ 
tral Pacific the other day near Clipper Gap, 
in the Sierras. The booty is said to be as high 
as 850,000 .A 14-year-old boy, named 
Gleck, broke the lock on a powder and dyna¬ 
mite magazine at Mount Pleasant, 17 miles 
from Wheeling, W. Va , on December 23, and 
with two other youngsters entered the build¬ 
ing smoking. There were 210 kegs of powder, 
and 10 cases of dynamite. All went off, blow¬ 
ing Gleck into atoms and severely injuring his 
two companions, who had run away before the 
explosion. Seventeen men were badly in¬ 
jured and nearly every house within a mile 
was badly wrecked. It felt like an earth¬ 
quake away in Wheeling.Hermansville, 
Ki-^je-UppM PeninsiiJa of Micfeigac,-has been 
wiped out by fire. Loss, $250,000. 
It is estimated that there are 2,500 women in 
the United States who hold diplomas from 
medical colleges, either American or foreign.. 
.There is a decided movement in West 
Virginia in favor of changing the name of 
that State. Its promoters say that every 
State should have a distinct name of its own, 
so far removed from the name of any other 
State that no confusion of names can arise. 
West Virginia is so nearly like Virginia that 
the people do not enjoy it. Curiously enough, 
they all agree that “Kanawha” is the name 
for the State.Dr. James Scott, author 
of the famous Scott liquor laws, died the 
other day at Columbus, Ohio, aged 73 . 
The dead body of the second daughter of 
Hawes, the Birmingham, Ala., murderer, 
was found over a week ago in the lake where 
her sister’s was discovered. He is now held 
for the murder of his wife and two daughters. 
No more rioting. .Axworthy, Cleve¬ 
land’s defaulting treasurer, has settled by pay¬ 
ing down $160,000 and making over to his 
creditors all his American property. 
The Indiana Legislature will have to borrow 
$2,000,000 for the running expenses of the 
State for the next two years .. The Texas Cap¬ 
itol, built by Chicago men for three million 
acres of land, valued at $1 per acre, has been 
turned over to the State and accepted. 
Samuel J Tilden’s will which left about $4, 
000,000 for founding a great public library in 
this city, and which has been contested by his 
nephew, has been sustaind by the Supreme 
Court. It will now be taken to the Court of 
Appeals—the Court of final arbitrament. 
Governor Hill has ordered an extraordinary 
session of the Court of Oyer and Terminer tor 
the trial of the New York “boodle” Aldermen 
. During November 25,419 
immigrants arrived at the several ports of the 
United States.Judging trom the num¬ 
ber of steamboat and railroad accidents, 
deaths by drowning, murders and stabbing 
cases reported during the last few days, the 
correctness of the old saw about a “green” 
Christmas fattening the churchyards has beeD 
partially established. Illinois, following 
the example of Ohio, Indiana and New Hamp¬ 
shire, passed a law last year forbidding the 
marriage of first cousins; but its passage was 
overlooked until the other day, and many il¬ 
legal marriages of the kind have been con¬ 
tracted since it was to go into force. 
.... Governor Hill has just appointed George 
B. McClellan, son of Little Mac, an aid on his 
staff. This makes young McClellan a Colonel 
at a jump. He is one of the Wall street 
reporters for the New York Herald. 
The body of Gen. Logan was removed from 
its temporary resting place at Washington, 
Wednesday to the mortuary chapel erected 
by Mrs. Logan at the Soldiers’ Home.. 
Attorney-General Garland has decided to 
locate permanently in Washington, where he 
will open a law office after the 4th of March. 
. James Matthews, editor and proprie¬ 
tor of the Buffalo, (N. Y.) Express, died 
Dec. 20, aged 60.Oliver Ditson, the 
well known music publisher, died at 
Boston, December 21, aged 77. 
Indian scouts under Lieut. McComb have 
driven all the settlers “like so many hogs” from 
Oklahoma Station. Many prisoners have been 
made.A severe storm prevailed in Iowa, 
Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, Wednesday 
and Tbursdav. Over a foot of snow fell. 
Last week a terrible blizzard swept over the 
Province of Quebec, Canada, causing heavy 
pecuniary losses,a va*t amount of suffering and 
several deaths.The Prohibitionists cast 
a total popular vote in the Presidential elec¬ 
tion of 257,243. This is to be compared with 
the 151,808 votes for St. John in 1884: 10,305 
in 1880, and 9.522 in 1876 .The South 
Carolina Legislature, just before its recent 
adjournment, reduced Confederate pensions 
from $50 to $80 a year. 
There has been “e war of races” at Wahalak, 
Miss, where one white has been killed and 
several wounded. As the negroes retired to 
the woods and swamps and the pursuing 
whites swore terrible vengeance, it is not 
known how many colored persons were killed 
and wounded. At a riot at Lamar, Miss, two 
whites and five negroes were killed. There 
has also been a good deal of rioting between 
whites and blacks at Wilmiugton, Del. and 
several other places,but no deaths are record¬ 
ed . In all cases of negro rioting in the South 
numerous armed white volunteers flock to the 
scene from all the surrounding country; for 
all feel that negro turbulence must be prompt¬ 
ly suppressed at any cost. The little 
propeller Leif Ericksen, with 33 persons on 
board, plying between Seattle and Sidney, 
W. T., was burned Monday when off 
Alkali Point, and five certainly, and 
possible seven lives were lost. 
Chicago packers are again denouncing the 
freight rates on Western railroads to go into 
effect on Jan. 1. They say rates on live hogs 
are higher than on packing-house products 
from Kansas City and Omaha to Chicago, 
thereby giving the packers at Mississippi 
river points an advantage over Chicago pack¬ 
ers..Mayor Hewitt, of this city, says 
his expenses in his late unsuccessful attempt 
to secure a re-election were $40,000. 
With Apologies to Pope. 
“Then know thyself, presume not God to scan 
The proper study of mankind is man.’’ 
Place the deft touch upon the pulsing wrist, 
Or at the breast unto its throbblngs list.’’ 
Note thou the crimson tide in ebb and flow, 
Now quick in heat and now in languor slow. 
See vigor more with its impatient stride, 
Or being faint, as swells or sinks its tide. 
Consider then, the air we breathe is rife 
Will ill or ailment of throbbing life, 
With food or poison charged, to turn the blood 
A bounteous flow or an infectious flood. 
But bland and molllent to the sharp distress, 
Is nature’s breath in magnetized excess. 
All purient clog and obstacle to purge, 
With blessings come—with weaknesses emerge. 
Sweet, transient guest, the lungs one moment hold 
To bring a glow depart with choking cold. 
To urge new vigor thrill with rare content,

FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, December 29,1888. 
After all, it looks very much is if De 
Lesseps’s grand project, the Panama Canal, 
had collapsed, so that the “Big Ditch” is likely 
never to be dug or at any rate not by those 
who have already buried so much money in it. 
The originial stock of the company was $60. 
000,000 in shares of $100 each or thereabouts 
in French money, the face value being 500 
francs per share. De Lesseps promised that the 
work should be done for between $125 000 000 
and $170,000,000 and that the canal should be 
opened on Jan. 1. 1889. The funded debt now 
amounts to $350,000,000 and the outstanding 
obligations to $50,000,000 more, and not much 
more than one-third of the work is completed, 
while the engineers can’t furnish even proxi¬ 
mate estimates of the sum required to finish it. 
There are 800,000 shareholders, most of them 
poor French people—chiefly economical arti¬ 
sans and farmers, who, remembering the bril¬ 
liant success of the Suez Canal, and deceived 
by the alluring talles of De Lesseps and his 
coadjutors, timej after time entrusted 
then savings for investment in the ditch. 
Moreover, they were tempted by large in¬ 
terest on their money from the very first, 
though it wasn’t earning a cent, the 
interest being taken out of the capital. 
Probably the investors will lose every cent. 
Not long ago the shares sold at a premium— 
at over 500 francs each—now they are going 
down at 117 francs. After failing in various 
other schemes for raising money, DeLesseps, 
some months ago, aitei much pleading and 
threatening, obtained permission from the 
French Government to issue 400,000 fresh 
Panama bonds in the shape of a lottery loan. 
A little over a’fortnight ago it was found that 
only a little over 180,000 of the bonds could be 
put off on the public, and as it was agreed 
that the money should be refunded unless all 
were taken, this has been done. Efforts have 
been made and are still being made to induce 
the Government to guarantee interest on the 
loan as the only means of floating it, but it is 
hardly likely to do this. It is already too 
much involved in the matter, and a guarantee 
of a loan would involve the ultimate comple¬ 
tion of the project by the Government at a 
ruinous cost, in defiance of the unequivocal 
assurance it gave our Government in 1880 
that it would continue a purely private busi¬ 
ness. It is very unlikely that our Govern¬ 
ment would permit a canal across the Isthmus 
to fall under the control of any European 
Government contrary to the “Monroe Doc¬ 
trine’’ and with much danger to our com¬ 
mercial and national safety and welfare. 
Efforts are being made in France to find some 
expedient for continuing the work to the end, 
but none has hitherto been discovered. About 
2,000 workmen have been discharged, but 
about 9,000 are still plodding along. Boulan¬ 
ger has availed himself of the Panama 
collapse to seek fresh adherents among the 
discontented elements of all kinds. He writes 
a letter sympathizing with De Lesseps and 
blaming the Government. A meeting of 4,000 
Panama share-holders in Paris adopt the 
same policy. In fact, all the stockholders who 
have spoken do the same. Boulanger’s popu¬ 
larity is growing. Although already a Deputy, 
he will contest the seat for Paris made vacant 
by the late occupant. Gen. Montauban, a 
man of great influence in civil and military 
life, has come out solidly in his favor, and how 
to defeat his party at the next elections is 
sadly puzzling the Government.

WIRE NETTING FENCES. 
Tuts style of fencing has been in use for many years 
in a limited way, but in the last five or six years thou- 
lands of miles of it has been put up. It lias proved 
to be the best fence for all purposes that has yet been 
tried. Sedgwick Bros., of Richmond. Ind., are large 
manufacturers of these excellent fences, and will 
send catalogues to all applicants. The Rural New- 
Yorker takes pleasure in inviting its readers to write

appointed a commission to study the whole 
dairy subject of the State. John E. 
Wood, proprietor of the Knickerbocker Stock

founded the Knickerbocker Ice Company when 
he was a young man.Just before Christ¬ 
mas, Smith’s Falls, Ont., Canada, shipped 200 
tons of dressed poultry to the Boston market 
in 20 refrigerator cars over the Canadian

in various parts of the country are beginning 
the cultivation of the indigo plant, which 
forms a very important feature of Chinese 
agriculture. The indigo fern is one of the

darker green in color. It is very hardy, easily 
cultivated, and unlike many of our native 
products, is never attacked by insects.
