pounds, which would make an
average annual consumption per capita
of about fifty-eight pounds.
v A western Kansas man says tuat section
of the State has a great future before
it. There is nothing that grows in

there. Nothing is lacking but water,
and that is beiug supplied by irrigation.

fin: "The discussion as to the means

" l4ie Hartford Times has ascertained nn
interesting fact illustrative of the mar^|
velous development of the country. It has
fonod au aged couple who have returned
to Connecticut after ri\ absence of fiftythree
years. It took them, iu 1.833, to go
from Glasconbury to their new western
home iu wild Illinois, three weeks un?l
two days. They have co.ne back iu one
'ay and two nights.
J Trustworthy authorities state that in
eastern New Mexico nearly f> JO,000
of fruit and farm lands have been reclaimed
by the construction of storage
reservoirs and irrigating canals during
the past two years. Several corporaA
lions organized for such work are now
V seeking capital in the East. The above
. shows that private capital can be see ire 1
for irrisation schemes that nro nise irood
results.
A remarkable instance of profitable
agriculture is afforded by a Jersey far 1

f Many English manufacturers are said
to actually regard an English degree in
tbo light of a disqualification, so that
most of the posts of "word chemists"
are held by non-grnduates. Apparently,
says tho New York Time, they prefer to
train their own inen?that is, to givo
them such ai education in researches as
bears on particular problem* which they
themselves have to solve?or to tako
them from tho laboratories of general
analysts, where new problems present
themselves from time to time.
According to tho Chicago -\eirs, a
Pennsylvania murderer has been discharged
because the court foun UltariMP
possible to hear testimony against h'.m.
The only witness to his crime was his
wife, and her statements worn barred on
the ground that she an 1 her husband
were one. This one?when giving tcsti
mony 111 ner person?woui'i i/v uuii^e i
either to testify for himself, which no one
ought to do, or to incriminate himself,
which is frightfully unorthodox.
So the case was dismissed, and there is '
one more man who has awakened to tho
utility of tho marriage institution.
A few years ago correspondents used
to send their papers column after column
describing the many delights of summer
life at Long Branch. Tho parades of
fashion upon Ocean Avenue, the !i.i33t
road in the country, were pictured in
detail by the enthusiastic writers. The
most noted people of tho land were
seen in those days driving upon Ocean
Avenue and adjaceut thoroughfares.
Long Branch was then the tirst watering
place in the country, but for several years
past it has been declining fast in popularity.
The inany elegant ejuipages,
with their distinguished occupants, are
now conspicuous by their absence.
Gambling houses have helped to drive
away tlie best social clement. Many
cottages which foimeily rented at high
rates now go begging at one-third of
their former prices. That grandest of .
drivewavs. Ocean Avenue, his been al
lowed to crumble away until iu ninny
k places carriages can xvitli difficulty
pass each ether. It would bo hard to
find a watering place with such poor
roads. The summer residents declare
r they pay very high luxes, and complain
that the roads are in miserable condition,
injuring their horses an I cirriages, and
causing general discomfort. It is a great
pity that this once inut p lpu' ir of stunir.or
re?orts should ha ruming lo.vn so
rapidly.

soon as the quantity was known, wliieh
could not ho concealed, the priio Would
gravitate to its normal level. This illus

tilicial means could not evade or run
counter loan cstchlisncd law in the commercial
world. It was asseited, lie said,
that hy spreading the supply o\ri twelve

however, foigo^^^^hat hy the trims of

nnd that there was nhsolutclv nothing to

' with thesuh-treasury as he now has with
s the people. The Governor held to the
1 position that the suh treasury hill was
class legislation, or. as he put it to day,
"it is a special privilege rather than a
r glit." I admit, ho said, that the (Jovermnent
has loaned money, hut the riglit
for such action is based on the general

A Frizo Fight in San Francisco.
An ovmland special from San Franeisco,
says: (Jcorgc Dixon, of Boston, and ^
Abe Willis, of Australia, fought at the
gymnasium of the California Athletic '
Club for $ '?,000 and the bantam-weight '
| championship of the world. Willis was J
. practically unknown to many here, nnd
' the betting before the tight was in Dix- ^
j oil's favor, running from H>0 to 70 to 100
to 00. Dixon won on the fifth round.
The battle occupied less than twenty
minutes. Willis was knocked out in tlx i
fifth round ufter having had the worst of o
i n linrd tbdit f 11 ni i the stall Dixoll's stvle I'
i of lighting was not known very well

1 half a dozen sharp rallies ho fought back

1 quickness and his nhildy to stand hard 1
\ punishment saved him from defeat eailier, '
but after being knock-d down in the I
lirsl round and unmercifully pounded in
, the four following rounds he was greatly i
, weakened, and the blow which finally t
, seat him out was a light one compared i
j to a dozen others which he had received. I
Dixon was apparently uninjured, and |
as soon as he saw that Willis could not I
rise in the fifth round the colored man t
gave a leap almost across the ring, while s
the spectators < hecred him wildly.
