L'ur,r. :iie ar rival of the 3ia!Iory Comal fron from New York yesterday the master ol j the vessel, Captain Johu ili.-ko, reporter that during the voyage a coal-passer, Johr H. Graham, of 2sev.- York, had died o1 : overheat and cramps, and was burned a' sea. This was the substance of Cuptair : Riske's report at the Naval Office, as re ! 'iuirtu by the United States statues in sucl cases. Nothing more was thought of tin ; matter during the day and no suspicion o! foul play existed at the Custom House. Ii was therefore a matter of very great sur prise when, later, one of the coal-haudlers. named Riley, who made the trip will Graham, visited the cilice of the Unitet States' Commission and made affidavit i charging William II. McCollough. with th( v.ilfu. murder oi' Graham. Riiey's story, forvsavage and devilish in humanity, surpasses belief. In substance he swears that he was working in the same watch with Graham when they were foui da^s cut from New York. Graham, while in the tire room at work, complained to bin: (Ri;ey) and others of being sick and unabl< longer to "hold up his end" on the work. Shortly after this Chief Engineer 3IcCul iough came in and found Graham lyin.u . down, apparently keeping, whereupon th( engineer remarked: make you up," :.:;d, suiting the action to the word, be de li'nerately took a lar^e shovel, and. scoopinj : i: full of red-h'. t cauls from the furnace, h< poured them over the prorate form of th( ; sick man. and followed up the work by beat ing and abusing Graham as he lay writhing under the burning co;:ls. Riley swears thai within fifteen minutes after Engineer Mc Cullough had first assaulted Graham the latter was a corpse, ami was immediately removed to the engine room and laid upor a grating. Perhaps the most extraordinary . statement made by Riley is that the body oi the dead man was kept on ice until the steam-hip was within twelve hours' run ol Ga-veston. and then buried at sea. Tht Commissioner immediately is-ued a warrant charging MeCullough with murder on tht ; high seas, and he was arrested while aboard the vesiel by a Deputy United States 3Iar shal and c milted to jail.

The corn crop is placed at about threefourths of a frill crop by the Agricultural Department report for October, or at 1.5W,000,000 bushels. This is about a si.vh better than was feared earlier or than ;vc> r.t private estimates. The crop as it H-m.'s. however, is the smallest in ten year.. out one, in 1881, v;hen it was only 1.100,000, and the present yield is larger chiefly because of the iarae crop ai the South, i-jO,000,000 bushels larger than two years ago. The South will produce nearly a third of the present crop, or nearly enough for its ow n con sumption, while in past years of large yield the Southern Stateshave" supplied a bare sixth of the total. The gro*:t cor:: States, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa" and Kansas, have scarcely half a crop, and in ilissouri the yield ii. not large.

A *? ;; known diamond dealer, who : vomc an expc-rt from many years' hantilinir of nrc-dons stones. was near-: !y tak-.-n ::i a few (Jays ago by a snrewd ::::nsond jhark. whose new scheme deattention. as it. is likely to be at- ; tempted in some other quarter. The ihuiire i otisisU in trying to palmofia! eVwriy "doctored" diamond as a very v;tsi** stone ami intcliing a plausible and pie:ur?js(]ue stcry to give it countenance. The short, stout man, with a grizzled, 2rr:r" iuu?t::ciK*. who tried to victimize the iewc'.er in question, brought to him ; ;:n ciegant-looking solitaire ring. purporting to contain a diamond of unusual , size and brilliancy. To the eye even i :>f tin; i'\;;ert the stone looked all right, ; ;M'l the man tried hard to make a bar- ! L'nin with him at once, without proceeding auv farther. As it looked, thf , diamond was easily worth ?200, and man, who told a tale of dire necessi" v. offered to sell it for ?100. The story of the diamond as told by i i man. who gave Use name of Charles IL.rvvOod. was that it belonged origin- ! ally to the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia. i:i December 1871, when the Grand Duke, who was young and handsome, ; attended the reception given in his honor in the Academy of Music, an : ' cmisode aecurrcd that attracted consid- | , cr:ib!e attention at the time and has ; 1 much talked oi since. j Some time after the promenade, and : vi.cn everything was in motion, the at- : tvntion of the Duke, who had gone up- j >i:tirs with two of the gentleman of the , . ommiitee, was attracted by a lady in one of t!ie corner rows of curtained i balcony boxes. There were but two j ! ladies in tiie box, one of them an eider- i ; ly lady and the other a tall, beautiful: ! young woman, about '20 years of age. who had remarkably line eyes, which conid not fail to be noticed. The Grand Duke expressed a desire tw be introduced, which was soon gratified, 1 and after standing for a few moments in front <>t the box he asked permission to go inside. In a little while he asked the lady to 20.0:1 the promenade, and j otherwise showed his pleasure at meeting her, but she mildly and persistently j iv.used. As he rose to 20, the Duke, holding her hand :i momettL and slipping from one of iiis lingers a diamond ring, presented it to iior ami asked her to keep it. :ts a souvenir of the occasion. The lady did so, and kept it for several years, until at last siu* fell into reduced circumstances and determined to get rid i)i the rin?j in spite of its associa tions. Such, in substance, are the facts of an I occurrence upon which tiie man vith the diamond to sell told his story. He : represented that the diamond he had ! was the one given to this lady, and he ! endeavored very clearly to trace its history to her. The jeweler, however, in: sisted upon removing the stone from the Setting to examine it, and this the man ! allowed him to do. The man's willingness to do this very , nearly threw the jeweler olY,nis guard 1 at the last moment, especially as upon i removing the stone lie could see nothing wrong with it. Taking up a microscope, ; however, he was able to detect, with a close scrutiny, a siiglit variation in the quality and texture of the stone between : tlift middle portions and the ends. Then he held the stone near a lamp, and in a few minutes the whole nature* of the ingenious fraud dawned uoon LI UP. .-V SUUlli LCtli UiillUUUVl Ui 1111b. lUi quality formed tlie top and bottom, and . a tine piece of crystal bad been sandj vviei:ed between them, adding nearly ten limes to the value of the stone.

I ARTIST AND HUMOR !ST. i f,'lever Practical Jokes riaycil by tko Sculptor Hiram Powers. James EL Beard, the artist, tells some anecdotes of the early career of Hiram lowers, the sculptor, which go to show that he was full of grim humor. When Powers went to Cincinnati he was en- ; gaged in making wax figures for a j museum owned by a man named Dor- \ UCiVU JL UO ii^UL&J uut\.u IAV v?erc delicated and beautiful beyond ; anything that was known at that time, j ilis ingenuity in mechanics was remarkable, and Mr. Beard thinks that he would have made as great a success in mechanic arts as he did in scuiptv.re if he had devoted his attention to the former. There was a popular comic singer in Powers' day at Cincinnati named Alexander Drake. lowers molded a wax head of Drake, and fashioned a ligure to match the head. One of Drake's songs which was in great demand with audiences was called "Love and Sausages." Powers took his wax ligure to the theater and placed it on the stage in Drake's favorite attitude, and when the curtain rose for Drake's song there stood before the audience \ two Alexander Drakes, both perfectly natural. The people were astounded; They gazed and gazed in wonderment until the curtain went down and rose again on a single Drake. It was the j wax figure, but so like the singer that tue audience cried, and shouted, and stamped for "Love and Sausages." The figure was silent and the curtain went ! I- ->A U?.*? A> UOWL1 WIUlOUl iiUji Lvapuusu wtnn w.mv/ i to their culls. It rose again, anu there i was a single Erake confronting them. | This time the audience remained tm- ! demonstrative, not knowing what to ex- | pect. It was the true Drake, and when ! he proceeded to sing "Love and Sausages' ' the mystery was intensified. For about three days the people talked o? this douhie Alexander Drake, and then I the secret got out that it was one of j Powers' freaks. A't another time Powers was nt work on a wax bust of Thomas Jefferson. , There was a critic in Cincinnati in : those days named Simms, who had in] curred the displeasure of Powers and ! others. He was told one evening that i the bust was completed, and was asked to inspect it. It was in the days when the only light was from tallow candles, and as the room was dark he was given a candle with which to make a close inspection of the bust He began to comment upon its unnatural appearance, declaring that the eolor of the- llesh was not natural and so on. As he leaned down for closer inspection the burning i candle was brought close to the iignre, ; which suddenly dodged back, winked ! its eye, and shouted: "Don't burn :ae." ; It was Powers himself. A favorite trick of the artist, hic'n ; he often performed in the museum and ! in public places, was made possible oy i the long cloaks which it was the custom to wear in those days. Any one who has seen the figures in a circus which are short and squat one moment and apparently ten feet high the next will ' understand the nature of the joke. I Powers would gather his cloak up m iiis ; hands and make himself apparently : about three feet iu height, and as iie passed arouud the museum he wouid gradually become taller and taller until at last, taking the collar of his cloak and the rim of his hat in his hand?, he would shove them far above his head and make himself appear very tail. Ail I lie time he would go peering around at j the sights while most of the people were i watching him, as the biggest curios:!} | of uli. ?N. Y. Tribune. 2^xplorers Astonish.
