FArtners Will Raise Them and the World Wants Themn-Ruinnusly Low Prices Not a Necessary Result of a Great Yield A Texas Man's Hopeful View of the Situation. A Galveston News reporter inter viewing Mr. Julius Runge; one of the largest cotton.men of the S.utli, asked his opinion of the proposition, so often discussed by the Farmers' Alliance in the various States, to reduce the acreage of cotton and thus secure better prices for what cotton they raise. "It is a good plan, of course," said he, "but it cannot be put into pietice. When one man reduced another would increase, so as to have mo-re cotton for the comin o ".Of course, if a NY could be made, better prices would prevail. "But." said he, "I think it is a mis take to credit the present low prices to over-production. We have made a large crop and there is every indication at the present time that the next crop will be a large one also. But in the fa-e of all this there is nothing to war rant the present low prices of cotton. The world need every pound of cotton now in sight and all that is prospective ly in sight. The trouble is not over production, but in the stagnant condi tion of the world's trade. The Portugal, Italian and other financial troubles, the Argentine bank collapse, and every thing has combined to shake confidence and prevent speculation. Cotton has declined steadily, because there has been nothing to sustain it, and now it has reached a point entirely unwar ranted by the surrounding conditions. "The present outlook is not bright, I admit, but we may have a repetition of the fall of 1S79. During that year the city of Glasgow bank failure had demoralized finances quite badly. Cot ton and everything else declined. There was a good wheat crop, however, and stimulated by it business became brisk in all lines, and in a month or six weeks cotton advanced sS or S.10 a bale. "Now, this year we have very sini lar conditions. Cotton is cheaper than it has been since 1S53, but we are making the largest wheat crop we have ever made, and the food supply of Europe is a failure. Europe will need from us this year 200,000,0() bushels of wheat, which at the increased prices, means $150,000,000 more for this crop than we received last year. It is true that this sum is scattered over the country, but even then it means a good deal, and must turn the flood of gold from Europe to America. General busi ress must be benefitted and stimulated, and that may cause cotton to advance to its normal and rightful position. "But there is still another view of the situation not generally taken or appre c'ated. Present low prices have at tracted attention to cotton, and the result is that low grades, which ordina rily would be shunned and avoided, are being sought after. In New York and Liverpool cotton is moving, but it is low grade cotton. This is accounted for by the fact that at certain prices cotton may be put to various ses and substituted for other materials. Ordi narily even the present grades are too high priced for such purposes, but after a certain point has been passed their use becomes practicable and they are much sought after. This, of course, extends or increases consumption, and under this consumption the visible supply of cotton rapidly falls away. Trhere is a great deal of such cotton on hand nowv, for it averages from .5 to S per cent of the crop, say on a crop of 8,000,000) there will be at the lowest figure 400,000) bales, and it must be remembered in a stock statement each bad or undesirable bale counts just as much as the best bale in the lot. It is b:ales, not grades, that make up the totals. "Now, as I said before, while the out look is not bright and glorious, it is not devoid of ho.pefui features and I have named over some of them to you. "But whether prices advance oi not," continued Mr. Runge, "I think the outlook for Texas is far from being as gloomy as some think. In the first place, moderately low prices for cotton all through the winter will give the farmers an object lesson that will teach them more than all the lectures and a:lvice they have received for years. It is folly to preach diversity of crops to a man who can raise cotton on cheap land and sell it for S cents. He thinks that is good enough without anything more. If low prices continue, though, the farmers will change their minds. Trhe farmers in North Texas will let cotton alone and plant more wheat; those in Middle and South Texas will plant more oats and corn. Tfhey wiill not care to raise cotton wvhen they can scarcely get the price of their labor out of it. The farmers have needed just such a lesson as they they are receiving and it will do thenm good." "Do you think they can stand thc loss on their chief crop this yeary' wvas asked. "I don't kn~ow how individuals may~ stand it, but as a whole I regard the Texas farmers as being in better coudi. tion than those of any other State it the Union. C'ongressman Long's state ment that in hi3 district alone ther are $40,000,000) worth of mortgages sim ply ap)pears bad; as a matter of facti is not so. Look at the mxatter from al points and you will see that tbis is true In the tirst place the Texas farmer come here poor. They have no mione: to start with. They buy lands cheapl; and build up their farms. In a fev years they are p:mid for andl they are se cure. Theyw' have that much, any'how for, accordinog to Texas law, a home s.ui canot b,e mortgaged eve'i if th owner desires to place a mortgage on it. Then where do these $40,000,000 mort gages come from ? I do not know, but they are certainly not on the farms of the district. If a man desires to specu late and buys more land than he can pay for that is his misfortune and he must stand it. Certainly this class of ,armers should not be credited with doing all the losing business. "Yes, I consider the Texas farmers to be in very good shape all round. Two years ago they made splendid crops and received good prices for them. Last year crops were good also, and if they are not prepared to stand a little loss now they . 'er will be. "This is toe way I look at it: The cotton crop is large, but there is no over-production, for the world's con sumption of cotton is also very large. Prices are low, not because of anything with which cotton has to do, but sim ply because the world's business has been stagnated by the vast financial difficulties we have gone through. The wheat supply of Europe is short, while we are making the largest crop ever produced in America. This wheat movement is certain to produce revival of speculation and business, and this last may produce an active demand for cotton. Low prices are rapidly reduc ing stocks by removing all the undesir able grades of cotton, and in a month or two the histoiy of 1879 may be re peated and cotton~advance $15 or $20 a bale. I don't say that it will, mind that, but I do say that it may. Sup pose our wheat crop h-..d failed, also, or that Europe had made a good crop, also, and did not need any of ours? Where would we have been then? You see things are not quite so bad as they might have been. CALL WON'T GET A CERTIFICATE. Gov. Fleming Will Not Sign the Senator's Re-election Credentials. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August S.-As predicted in previous despatches to the Sun, Gov. Fleming has refused to cer tify to the reelection of Senator Call last May. The Governor's cpen letter, sent broadcast over the State to-day, causes a great deal of dismay in the Call ranks and the anti-Call crowd are elated. The letter has been expected, though the conservative element was in hopes that he would drop his par tisanship and do what would be for the best interests of the party in the State. Gov. Fleming must now face a party breach that will be widened day by day till it will probably reach such a climax that the Republicans by com bining with one wing or the other will put their men into power. The Governor's letter simply repeats the arguments advanced by the anti-Call crowd when they made their fight against the Senator at Tallahassee. Mr. Chipley, by common rumor, will receive a certificate from the Gover nor. He is very bitter toward Call. He is several times a millionaire and is saId to show no disposition to make a vigorous fight. GORMAN IsTHEIR MAN. The Farmers' Alliance, of . Maryland. Is Friendly to the Democrats' Great Leader. JBALTDIORE, Md., Aug. 13.-The Farmers' State Alliance adijourned sine ie. The final act of the convention be fore the adjournment was a declaration, which was put in the form of a resolu tion, that the Farmers' Alliance, of the State of Maryland, is in no way antag onistic to United States Senator Gor man, and that any publication that the farmers were inimical to, or in 'Ipposi Ition to the distinguished senior senator of the state, was without warrant, and had no foundation in fact. The speeches made in presenting the resolution, and before its adoption, went to show that the Farmors' Alli ance was not only not hostile to Sena tor Gornman, but was very much in alli aice both with himnself and his priaci pes. swallowed a Silver Dollar. LFrom the Chicago Tribune.] FINDLAY, 0., Aug. 3.-John Doland and several companions were Iilliping silver dollars in the air and catching them in their mouths at Custer, Woodl County, yesterday, when one of the dollars slipped d'an Doland's throat. IIt is now lodged. in his stomach, where e says he can plainly feel it. He was in this city to-day consulting a physi cian regarding his pieculiar predica met. Kansas Wheat Crop. The Kansas State Farmers' Alliance has completed arrangements by which it will handle three-quarters of the Kansas wheat crop of 5,000,000 bush Arrangements have been made to store half of the crop~ in the big eleva tors in Kansas City, Chicago, St. Paul, Cincinnati, Baltimore and other large cities for an indefinite period, or until the ow ners desire to sell. Grain Produce. It is estimiated that there will be an excess of :20,000,000 bushels over last ear. This w ill make a total of 70,000, 000. An order has been issued from Northern headquarters to officers of the Northern Rlilway to perfect all equipments and cars to handle 12,000, 000 bushels more than the road han - died last year,whiich aggregated 16,000, 00. Other roads tigure on a propor 'tionate inciease, and( the Northern -Paciric people say their percentage of THE TREASURY'S CONDITION. Thy the Facts About it are not Made Pub 11c-The Finances of the Country in n Bad Way Consequent upon the Reck lessness of Congress. [From the -Iew York Times.] WASHIINGTOx, August 5.-A prom nent banker in New York, who has ound it essential to his success in busi ,-ss to keep track of the operations of he treasury department, and who has eceived from the department the reg ilar nionthly statements of the con lition of the debt by !., Secretary, and ;he assets and liabiaties as presented >y the Treasurer, has just written to Nashington to ask why the report )f the Treasurer has not been sent to iim for June and July. If that in luiry had come from a person who mnew less about the national finances t would not be surprising. He ought 2mt to be surprised to-morrow when ie learns that for two months here has been no report of the assets nd liabilities from the Treasurer, in ndependent of the statement of the >ublic debt sent out over the signature )f the Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary's statement is now supposed o include the Treasurer's report. As this banker has been receiving he Secretary's report, and as he bhould be as well qualified to interpret t as any other business man in New Sork, the fact that he desires to know xhat has become of the report of the 'reasurer is interesting. If to his clear mind the Secretary's report leaves something to be desired by ordinary aymen, who may be much more !asily "fuddled" by an adroit report, :ontrived by excluding details to hide onething that has heretofore been nade plain, what is it that led the See etary to change the form of the month y statement ? This question has been isked repeatedly since the change io 6he form of the report, and it has been inswered by Secretary Foster as one might expect him to answer it. It was because it was "more convenient ind more economical." But it was not alone for the sake of 3pending money, but to give accurate information, that Secretary Sherman issued two statements, one giving a very frank and detailed account of the money in the Treasurer's office, and another one, entirely comprehensibie to ordinary people, showing the avail able surplus," or money available for payment of the debt. The reconstruc tion and remodelling of the debt state ment was for a very different purpose. It became necessary, when the avail able assets of the treasury were run ning low, so to present them to the people that they would be led to be lieve that the Government was really richer in ready money than an extrav agant course would permit it to be. Under Secretary Windom several de vices were resorted t-> to add to the apparent available assets, but the ex pedients resorted to by him were about exhausted when he died. If the re ports of the Treasurer, as made out by Treasurers Jordan and Hyatt under the last Administration, and by Mr. Huston under this Administration, were continued to-day, they would show that, instead of having a "net cash balance" in the treasury of more than fifty-five millions, the Secretary has only between ten and fifteen mil lions of avilable assets. It would seem as if all of the expedients that could be employed to prevent the public from discovering by the Government state ment what the condition of the treas ury is had been employed. At all events, the statement of the public debt is now interesting chiefly for what it does not show, and in order to find out what the situation is by tearing the report in pieces and reconstructing it is a task for which few men have either the time, inclination or abilit. This is well known by the men who are resorting to a sort of "faked" statement that is only like the state ment it succeeds in that it comes out monthly, and has the the name and assurances of the Secretary at the foot of it. It is characteristic of a party that delights in "jingo" politicians and a "strong rule." The deposits in national banks and the subsidiary coinage and other finan cial "junk" is loaded into the "avail able" column, where it formerly had only a reserved place, just to lead peo ple to believe that the treasury is being conducted successfully in spite of the spendthrift billion Congress. If the Secretary could be induced just for the sake of illustration to issue two reports on according to his "fuddling" plan, and another upon the instructive plan in vogue three years ago, it would make a very interesting comparison.

[From the Courier-Journal.] t A new mind reader has been discov- t ered at Glasgow, Ky., or rather discov- s ered himself accidentally, not long t, since. He is Flavius Taylor, the son of a Dr. E. J. Taylor, a Glasgow physician. His age is 19 years, and soni: account of his doings has been sent to the j Courier-Journal by Dr. P. C. Sutphin, 1 another of Glasgow's physiciaw,, who t is familiar with the youw, imn's eaje, o and has made a study of mind reading, v as well as what is terned "muscle j reading" by performers who claim to e be guided by the thrills of the nuscles t of the subject. t Dr. Sutphin gives suie spectilat ions & at length on the alleged distinction be- r tween mind reading and inuscle read ing, and arrives at, the conclusion that, though there may he trickery and imposture used by sone people there is 0 such a thing as mind reading, and no V such thing as muscle reading. He e qoutes from Stuart Cumberland, ai ij Engish mind reader, who claimed t that he was guided by tbe muscles, and in a performance before the Khed ive of Egypt, wrote a word thought of e (the name of the Rhedive's son. Abbas) r on a piece of paper, in Arabic, a langu- c age of which he knew nothing, and this without a moment's hesitation. e Cumberland said this was muscle read- f ing, but Dr. Sutphin details a similar a test with young Taylor, which, he claims, shows the mind must bear its i part in such a test as well as the mus- C cles. He is willing to say that some f things may be done by muscle reading, but thatothers cannot. Dr. Sutphin, in his account of young Taylor's perfor- t mance, says: "We may concede, however, all that I Mr. Cumberland says of muscle read- i ing; may agree that all his feats were i performed by it; yet when it is at- C tempted to include all mind reading in t this, then it will be found that this can- i not be done. There is much of mind t reading, indeed, that could not be ex- C plained, nor, in fact, be accomplished, by muscle reading. This is fully proven by a lately developed mind reader here f in the place in which I live-a young t man. Flavius Taylor, 19 years of age, t son of Dr. F. J. Taylor, a prominent t physician and pension medical exami ner. It is not improbable that in nearly every instance the gift of mind reading has been of accidental discovery on the part of the one possessing it, and thus it was acccidentally made known to young Taylor. Several months ago au itinerant mind reader exhibited in this place and young Taylor attended his performance. Returning home, he playfully remarked to a young man who had accompanied him that he thought he would make a good mind reader, and that if the other would blindfold him and hide something he would find it for him. To have a little amusement, he was duly blindfolded and next told to find a book that had been hidden in an adjacent roomi. He now grasped the hand of the young man who had hidden the book, but was utterly surprised to find that not only the book, but also its place of con cealment were impressed on his mind. He readily took the young man to the place where the book was and handed it to him. After this there wvere more or less frequent tests of his powers in finding things thus, while all hidden articles were always promptly located by him. Intermingled with these tests were others, such ns willing him to do certain things. Say, for instance, that it was willed for him to take a particu lar flower of a number of flowers in a vase in the room, and to hand it to a certain young lady present; to remove Swatch from the pocket of a certain gentleman and to put it into that of another certain gentleman. to go to a library and take out some particular volume in it, and turn toa certain page and paragraph or sentence in it, and so on of other requests of this sort. "All these were readily and accurately done by him, down to the minutes.t particular of the wish. Mr. Cumber land, however, professes to have done things quite equal to this by muscle reading, being directed in them by the muscular tremors of the hand kept enclosed in his. In this way, he says, he only followed direction. and knew nothing really of the mind, and only did as the tremors directed. He did, in other words, precis'ely what the hand he was holding would have done, di rected by the individual. In this, of course, there was no mind reading, but a guidance only by muscle signaling. Suppose, however, it was required to take hold of the hand, and next tell any particular thought of the nind not find anything or to do anything that the hand of the individual might do, but simply to take the hand and say, not act out, what the thought was-then this could only be gotten direct from the mind, and in no other way. as mere muscle reading in this case would simply be imnpossible. In this case, it would be necessary to see through itself, to tell what it was, which the thrill of the rmuscles would not admit of. And yet, young Taylor can do this. He has been mentally requested, for instance, to play a cer tain air on the organ, and of a number of others played by him, wvhen catching hold of the hand to know wvhat it was, he would go to the organ and play it, using both hands for the purpose. Had he been playing by direction only of the muscles of the hand, he could not have let go the hand and played with both hands. "But he has done better even than gures, being thought of, he has readily unounced what it or they were, calling bem out singly or in combination, s desired. For instance, suppose that he figures 5. 3, and S were separately bought of. Then these were promptly old out, one by one, and annouuced ingly as thought of; or suppose, again, bese were thought of as 538, then this umber, or 538, would be told. Some ime ago, knowing that he did not nderstand Latin. I improvised a short ,atin sentence-est mihi voluntas ut agis meam mentem'-and asked him o tell me what it was. This was made ut slowly, but quite accurately, the -ords being spelled out, letter by letter. t is proper to say, too, that these were alled out at once, without going over be alphabet and getting at them in his way, one by one, on the order of able rapping.' Nothing was said, eally, more then to call out the letters i their proper order. "Without mentioning other feats of his young man the question next ccurs: Upon what other ground can ,e explain this telling of figures and alling out Latin than upon the silent aipress of mind upon mind? This is he (xplanation, in fact, that young aylor gives of his 'mind reading,' as b is called; or that he only interprets very thing by impression. He knows iothing of muscle reading, feels nothing f the sort, sees nothing, hears nothing, g not aware even of any particulai xaltation of the perception, but simply inds certain thoughts or wishes o .nother impressed on him. His great lifficulty, he says, is to get a correct mpression from some who either lac oncentration of mind or allow the toc requent intrusion of other thought, nto it. For a good effect impression. nust be forcible and sharp cut, and he mind must be kept steadily and a: xclusively as possible on the subject, le thinks the band acts only as a con luctor of impression, and regards il ndispensable for that purpose, as th( ,urrent of impression is transmitted it his way, without which be could tel: iothing. In conclusion, I may adc hat in his performances there is usuall onsiderable disturbance of his physica: )eing. His respiration often become, low and labored, pulse usually goes ul rorn ten to twenty beats above norma o the minute, there is heavysighing a1 imes, and sometimes so much exhaus ion as to necessitate temporary rest.' THE ESCORTEI) GIRL. ihe is an luteresting Creature and Tot Like Her Ways. LFrom the Boston Home Journal.] These are the days when the es orted girl is prevalent. You can tel er at aglance. The girl whose brother: ire accustomed to take her about ha: in air of good fellowship which is un nistakable. She is as much at hom( when being taken for a ride in an opei treet car by said brothers, or when ac 3epting or sharing a theatre treat, asi he were a boy, or the brothers weri irl friends. But the escorted girl i: . study which is most amusing. Shi is of many kinds, but the general ai :f being escorted is alike in all varie ties. You meet her in the street. Therei a self-consciousness about her whici attracts your attention at once to th' fact that she is accomnpained by a youn, man, for there is nothing which hold its italicizing so long as this. You se her in the open cars bound for a ride and bearing all over herself the i print of having been invited. Yo1 watch her at the play. It is almost a interesting as the play itself- especiall; if the play is an old one. And nc where do you see more of her than a church, especially at the vespers. All women do not of course belong t that class. The escorted girl has th conscious air of having just discoverei that she is desirable, but not havin, yet learned for a ceitainty that she worth while. She has the conscious ness of suspecting that man is her nai ural prey, but of not being certain tha she will get the chance to devour hin She enjoys the sensations of' being d4 sired without the full knowledge the the desire will grow by what it feed on. She feels her power, but does nc quite know how to use it. She tries i but with a slightly timid manner. Sb has not yet gained confidence. Ther is usually an open attempt to pleasei her manner which draws marked a ten tion to her. It is while she is i this state that she gives away more< her real nature than she ever does late: And it is while she is in this frame< mind that she comies under the hea of the sort of girl I have been notin lately, and fur lack of a better class fication have dutbbedl "the escorte girl." There are women, I find, who nev< get beyond this stage. They are gir of suggestive possibilities who nevi realize all that they promise, for son. undefinable reason. They never gro sure of their rights, never wear the] with authority. This class of wome is not uncommnon. I recollect the] in my youth. One often made gre: eforts to be made acquainted wit them, and never got any further. The are often p)rettier than less attracti' girls, but lacking reality they are onl inspiring to the imaigination.

Have the) every neighborhood farmers whdliauces made and kept money by far11ent since the war? ,e, Are not the general conditions of the country and people improved? Do they not live in better houses, eat better food, wear better clothes than a few years ago? Are they not learning more, are their churches not better, has not the entire country improved, except where it was injured by thriftless col ored tenant labor, and all in spite of a tax rate the highest in the State, on account of railroad subscriptions? How many of the men who listened to Lecturer Je"ries and Colonel Keitt can figure out how the land loan and sub-treasury would help them? In the Fall everybody who has cot ton can get money either by selling or by borrowing on the staple. The pinch, the time when poor men need to be helped, is in the summer. The sub treasury would not lend on liens or chattel mortgages or personal credit. It would run out of business the men who do. Even the alliance stores and ex changes would deal only for cash. Would anybody be helped by the land loan scheme but those who have land already mortgaged or who own land and desire to borrow on it to lend at higher rates to their neighbors? Would not the ability to borrow money on land at two per cent make men who have land hold it tighter? Would it not make it harder for the poor man to buy land? Suppose Pickens County grows 10,000 bales of cotton at $40 a bale. When that is sold outright it puts $400,000 in the hands of Pickens people. Suppose they al! used the sub-treasury, drawing only eighty per cent. of the value. That would put only $320,000 in the hands of Pickens people, wouldn't it? And interest and insurance would have to be taken from that. Sub-treasury advocates tell you their scheme would make money more abun dant. How do they get over these figures or make eighty per cent. as much as a hundred? Ask them. If your cotton rose in price you would be winner. If it went down you would be loser. Did you ever try holding cotton for a rise? How did you come out? Judge the future by the past. If every man whose land is mort gaged now borrowed money from the government on it, who would get that Smoney? The holder of the mortgage, Sthe man to whom the money is due. SWould you get a dollar of it? How? Does the mortgage holder owe you any thing? Have you anything he wants to buy? Do you reckon he is going to be so flush with it that he'll give you a few hats full? The land holder who is under mortgage will have his debt transferred from the private lender to the government, his time extended Sand his interest reduced. That is all Sright for him if debasement of the cur Srency doesn't rumn all together, but how will it help the free land owner or non land owner. And you nman who work occasionally or regularly for wages: Is it not to your interest to have the dollar put in your hand a sure, solid, full dollar, wvorth tone hundred cents at the store or any where else, now and twenty years hence, if you can lay by a dollar now~ Dand then? Can you afford to risk hay. eing your dollar you have worked for Sdiscounted ten or twenty or thirty cents, or to find when the rainy day Syou have provided for comes that youi dollar is good only for half a dollar, al~ though you have done a dollar's worth tof work, put a dollar's worth of your time and muscle in it?

This latter is next to heaven, the end sou but because of the duration o trasces or subjugation to "the po as it is called here, many of the s ters are in the present instance failing to assimilate all of their share of this season's melon crop. Thus Mrs. Kirk patrick's cook lay in a trance for sev eral days, and neither cooked nor ate, and this was when the melons were at their best. Mrs. Buddington's colored maid was brought home in a dray at 3 o'clock in the morning and deposited on the kitchen floor, where she lay rigid and with "eyes sot," as this man ifestation is termed, until at the end of three days Mrs. Buddington had her carted back to the church in which she "got the power." Mrs. Butler's cook got religion and rigidity early in the revival, and, the task of finding a substitute being manifestly hopeless, the family at once made arrangements to take their meals with a family in the same street who are not dependent on colored servants. The industry that is doing nearly all the flourishing in the present crisis is that of the few worldly minded negroes who own a mule and cart. Business is brisk for these just now from the hour when the full moon shows above the further cypress-bordered shore of the St. Johns untl' the yellow disk fuses in the golden sky of a midsummer morning. All the colored churches are open twenty-four hours a day-in the daytime for such as attain satiety of melons early and are prepared for the religious influences long before night fall; throughout the night for all who come. Many who come to scoff re main to be carted awray, and those who have religion get it again and likewise have need of the mule cart. So this teaming of precious and rigid human freight begins early in the evening and goes on until the bull-bats cease their pursuit of nocturnal bugs. The white residents are so seriously President Harrison if Mr. Blaine will not consent to stand. The influence of the ladies of his family may deter Mr. Blane, but there is a tremendous pres sure upon him from his old party friends to run. He would sweep the convention. I( think. No Republican is as strong as Blaine. I do not think that he will consent to run. Mr. Cleve land, in my judgment, is still the strongest candidate. He may have offended the extreme pro-silver men by his remarks against free coinage, but he enjoys a wonderful reputation among the people." hiS HEAD WAS A GOLD MINE. A Goldsmith Carried Off Dust in His HaIr= NEW YORK, July 30.-A man with a veritable gold mine in his hair was ar rested here to-day. He is Moses Israel sky, a goldsmith, recently from Rus sia. He worked for Elden Hayden a local goldsmith. Shortly after Moses made his debut in Hayden's shop the proprietor began to miss about half his gold dust. Then the man from Russia was watched. Every day he turned up at the shop with his long curly hair neatly oiled, as if he was going to a charity ball. After getting his fingers covered with golddust, Moses would carelessly run his hand through his hair. The pre cous metal would stick. At night the unning Jew's head would sparkle with the yellow dust. lie would care fully wash it off~ at night and re peat his operation next day. Hun dreds of dollars' wvorth of gold was thus carried off. He is now in the Tombs in default Iof bail. The Cow Was Drunk. [FLrom~ th.

Tfhe animal lay there inert, with open eyes. The man called a veterina ry surgeon, who could diagnose the c ase, and a butche~r was sent for to bleed the animal. He was some time in arriving, and when he did come the cow was fouad eating at a haystack, but with legs a little uncertain. !An investigation followed, and it was found that the cow had eaten copiously of the refuse at a neighboring winery.

MADE THE HEAVENS TEAK Uncle Jerry Rusk's Rain-Compener Seems to Work in Texas-A Heavy Raintan Follows Ten Hours After Several Bombs 'Vere Exploded. DALLAts, Tex , Aug. II.-A'9WIlaf from Midland, Tex., to the Dallas - News says that the rainfall expedition - from the United States Department of Agriculture reached Midland on Wed nesday and have so far made two suc cessful experiments. The News report er interviewed one of the party to-dy, I "Saturday and Monday last part of the rain-making apparatus only was set up and the preliminary trial ma simply to test the efficiency of the spe-. cial blasting powder which is being I manufactured at the grounds from ma terial brought with us. Several bombs were exploded by means of electrical dynamos. Although this powder is very powerful, we were by no means confi det that the explosio'n would have any practical effect upon the meteorological conditions. However, about ten hours after the explosion clouds gathered and - a heavy rain fell, exteinding many miles. "We do not think the explosions ae tually produced the storm, as they were not on a large enough scale, but they were undoubtedly instrumental in pre cipitating the moisture which the clouds brought to that locality and greatly increased the intensity of the storm and the quantity of the rainfall, which was greatest in the immediate vicinity in the place of operation. We will continue cautiously to make tests as to the density of the atmosphere in this particular locality, so that our bombs may be adopted to meet every possible condition, and when we have sufficiently satisfied ourselves upon these similar points the decisive exper iment will be made. This .iill1AQ- . occur for several days.? The News reporter did not witnes the experiments referred to above, but can testify to the rhin falling in Mid lay, over twenty miles from the spo't of operations, t he first good rain for sev eral months.
