is reported to have been 36 feet deep on the

very disastrous to life and property among 
the teeming population of China of late. The 
last calamity, however, is trifling compared 
with the flood which wiped out 100,000 lives 
along the Yellow River in September, 1887.... 
.. A Beet Root Syndicate Bank is to be found¬ 
ed at Brussels, Belgium, with a capital of $15,- 
000,000 and branches and agencies in all the 
principal cities in the world. It will do no 
speculative business, but will sell sugar on 
commission and make loans to manufacturers 
of beet sugar and also furnish them with 
news concerning the sugar markets every¬ 
where . 
There’s considerable talk about the Pope’s 
leaving Rome and finding a refuge in Spain, 
hoping for the restoration of the temporal 
power of the Papacy should Italy be crushed 
in a general European war. The “ temporal 
power” was first firmly established by 
Charlemagne in 744. During the troublous 
times between 1309 and 1377, the residence of 
the Popes was changed from Rome to Avig¬ 
non, a town in Provence, southeastern 
France, now possessing about 40,000 popula¬ 
tion. Since then the official residence of the 
Popes has been at Rome except for short inter¬ 
vals. Eugenius VI. was driven out for seven 
months by a popular insurrection in 1433. 
Pius VI. was taken prisoner to France (where 
he died) by Napoleon in 1798, and his successor 
Pius VII. met the same fate in 1809, and did 
not return till 1S14. Pius IX. escaped from 
the city in disguise during the revolution of 
1848, and remained away nearly a year. The 
temporal power was abolished 1870 by the 
occupation of the city by the Italian troops on 
the withdrawal of the French garrison to take 
part in the Franco-Prussian war. Though 
without much material power, the Pope’s in¬ 
fluence is still tremendous among the 250,000, 
000, Catholics throughout the world. 
The Czar has decreed the total suppression of 
the Lutheran Church in Russia. There are up¬ 
wards of 3,000,000 of Lutherans, mostly, if not 
all, of German parentage, special protdg^s of 
the German government which has frequent¬ 
ly intervened in their favor. They occupy 
the western and northern provinces of the 
empire and pray heartily that they may soon 
become German subjects. Intense indigna¬ 
tion, of course, in Berlin. 
The sad but glorious fate of the late Father 
Damien, the leper martyr of the Sandwich 
Islands, has roused public attention to the 
growing prevalence of leprosy in England, 
to which it is brought from China, British 
India and other Eastern countries. A leper 
ward is to be opened in London, and provis¬ 
ions are to be made for the outcasts in other 
parts of the Kingdom. A meeting presided 
over by the Prince of Wales, the other day, 
resolved to erect a fine memorial to Father 
Damien at Molokai, the barren little island 
set apa r t as a leper settlement in the Sand¬ 
wich Islands. Tuesday last a Portu¬ 
guese crank harmlessly shot at the popular, 
progressive and liberal-minded Emperor Dom 
Pedro of Brazil. The final abolition of slavery 
in the Empire went into effect last year, and 
contrary to the fears of the timid, the treed- 
men have kept the peace and have been dili¬ 
gent in doing the work for which they were 
paid on the plantations. Emancipation there 
was as much of a bugaDoo in 1888 as it was 
here in 18d3.

It seems that a person may be presented 
with an article, and yet not receive it. Sec¬ 
retary Rusk says that he will not receive the 
horse recently presented to him, and that he 
would not receive any present from any body. 
We need more of this Kind of public officers. 
. A Massachusetts inventor has patent¬ 
ed a method of baling silage.Cali¬ 
fornia fruit-growers are experiencing consid¬ 
erable difficulty in securing necessary help to 
gather and dry their fruit at a price which 
they can afford to pay. Chinese labor has 
proved the best as well as the cheapest in the 
past, but this is getting scarce, and a higher 
price than formerly is demanded . 
Robert Bonner, the dispatches say, has offered 
$65,000 for Axtell, the three-year-old stallion 
that trotted the Minneapolis track in 2:15>£ 
the other day, and a Chicago man, acting tor 
unknown capitalists, has supplemented this 
offer with one of $80,000, both propositions 
having been refused. The owner of Axtell is 
C. W. Williams of Independence, Iowa. The 
horse was sired by William L, a son of 
George Wilkes. Axtell made a record of 2:23 
as a two-year-old, the best record ever made 
by a stallion of his age, and which created a 
great sensation. The West seems to be com¬ 
ing to the front iu horse-breediug. 
Professor H M. Wiley, Chemist of the Agri¬ 
cultural Department, has recounnendea to 
Secretary Rusk the appointment of the fol¬ 
lowing persons as assistant chemists, to be as¬ 
signed during the fall to duty at the sorghum 
sugar experiment stations: T. F. Sanborn, 
New Hampshire; Ervin E. Elwell, Michigan; 
Lewis H. Bradford, S. B. Merrill and M. C. 
Meachem, Kansas. Professor Wiley will come 
to New York next week to secure apparatus 
for the new sugar stations established this year 
by Secretary Rusk.Secretary Hunt, 
of the New Jersey State Board of Health, has 
telegraphed Secretary Rusk that the latter’s 
protest against the raising of the pleuro-pneu- 
monia quarantine by the State authorities 
would receive immediate attention. 
Our Scotch exchanges report large sales of 
Clydesdales for exportation to the Argentine 
Republic, as well as to the United States. 
The first sale of new wheat of this crop was 
made last Saturday at the Produce Exchange. 
The lot of 100 bags was raised in New Jersey, 
and brought 95 cents a bushel.Santa 
Barbara County, California, claims a grape 
vine of immense proportions. The circum¬ 
ference of the trunk six inches above the 
ground is six feet two inches. It is seven 
feet high, and the main trunk is divided into 
branches which are trained on an arbor, and 
extend 110 feet one way and 90 feet the other. 
The annual yield of grapes from it averages 
four tons. Another big vine is on the Machado 
ranch, 19 miles southeast of San Diego, near the 
Mexican line. It is of the old Mission variety, 
and was planted m 1850. From the roots a 
trunk five feet in circumference reaches up 
about six feet, where it divides into three 
large branches which in turn divide and send 
out other branches, twined over an arbor; 
the whole vine covers something over half an 
acre of ground. This immense canopy of 
vine and fruit is within easy reaching dis¬ 
tance of the ground. The average yield is 
from three to four tons of grapes.

Frequent reference has been made in these 
columns to the supply of California Fruits in 
this market. A visit to one of the auction 
rooms where this fruit is distributed with be¬ 
wildering rapidity is both interesting and in¬ 
structive. To such a science has railroading 
been reduced, that the exact time of the ar¬ 
rival of the cars direct from the place of ship¬ 
ment, 3,000 miles away, can be foretold. 
The consignees advertise the time of sale, and 
the articles to be sold. The loaded cars reach 
the docks in New York the same morning, the 
contents are overhauled, samples are taken 
of each lot, the condition is noted, any bruised 
or “wets” are parceled out by themselves, and 
the samples are opened and displayed in the 
auction room, each lot being labeled and 
numbered. 
Catalogues of the different lots by number, 
together with their marks and description are 
iu readiness before the sale. As the prospect¬ 
ive buyers examine the samples, each marks up¬ 
on his catalogue the price he thinks the goods 
are worth. When the hour of sale arrives, all 
are ready; if the auctioneer be one minute late, 
cries of: “ Time!” are heard, so thoroughly do 
these men realize that time is money. The 
auctioneer mounts the platform; no time is 
spent in praising the quality, or in useless 
talk; the goods have all been examined, and 
each man knows exactly what is what. 
The choice of several lots of Royal Apricots 
is offered, the lots contain generally 50 boxes, 
sometimes less. The start is slow, and low. 
No one seems anxious to raise the price, and 
the first choice sells at the lowest price of any 
of the 800 boxes. The buyer is entitled to his 
choice of any of the lots offered, or to 20 
boxes cf any lot, uot less than 20 boxe6 being 
sold unless a lot should contain a smaller 
number, which sometimes happens. The re¬ 
mainder of the lots is disposed of in the 
same manner, and then several more lots are 
grouped together in the same way. The auc¬ 
tioneer with an eye like a hawk’s and with a 
tongue you might readily believe had more 
than the proverbial two ends to it, sees every 
motion and every suggestion of a bid, and is 
ready to profit by it. 
Truly, selling the fruit is as much of an art 
as growing it, and a proper division of labor 
should be to the advantage of all. 
Next, first choice of several lots of Bartlett 
Pears was offered, and these were disposed 
of the same as the apricots. Then a lot of 
German Prunes, Magnum Bonum, Purple 
Duane, Washington, and Peach Plums were 
sold, after which the samples, and a tew boxes 
of “wets” and “bruised” were offered. 
About 800 boxes of Royal Apricots were sold, 
the price ranging from 60 cents to $1 50 per 
box. The Bartlettt Pears ranged in price 
from $2.80 to $3.50 per box, about 350 
boxes being sold. Thirty-nine boxes of 
Peach Plums brought $4.60 per box, while 
the sample box sold for $4.45. There were 
88 boxes of German Prunes, which went for 
$1.90 per box, the sample box bringing $2.10. 
A dozen crates of Magnum Bonum Plums sold 
for $2.15 to $2.55 per crate, while 100 boxes of 
Purple Duane Plums brought from $2 25 to 
$2 60 per box. Thirteen boxes of Washington 
Plums sold well, bringing $3.40 per box, the 
sample box selling for $4.05. The goods are 
sold on 10 days’ credit, the purchaser paying 
cartage. 
The sale of this entire lot, comprising two 
car-loads, occupied just one hour. A striking 
feature of the crowd present was the number 
of Italians, many of them buying heavily. 
These sales are of weekly, and sometimes al¬ 
most daily occurrence, and are a popular and 
successful means of handling fruit rapidiy 
and satisfactorily.
