Townsend, of Albany, Oregon, in which the writer, among other things says: "Thousands of people from all parts of the United States are coming into Oregon and Wash ington, only to find every branch of business overdone. If there is anyone in Lexington who has got the Oregon fever they had better write to me, I think their fever will cool down and the will keen their money and stay where the' are.'' The cour ,1 mitre Sevmour. who is a democrr-t, concurred in by the other four judges, settles the governorship of that state in favor of the republi cans. The cry that the republicans were trying to steal a state govern ment, should now cease, and here after Governor Hill, of 2ew York, will probably honor the requisitions for criminals issued by the republi can governor of the Nutmeg state, unless possibly he may consider himself higher authority than the supreme ponrt of sister common wealth.

CliOl IIULLKTIN'S. Wet Weather Hinders Corn ami Wheat in Missouri and Nebraska. Crete, Neb., June 13. The weekly weather and crop bulletin for Nebraska, issued by the Boswell observatory, says the continued cool, cloudy, wet weather has hindered the growth and the culti vation of corn, but small grain is gener ally in excellent condition. The temperature has been decidedly below the average. The rainfall has been everywhere above the average, ex cept in the extreme northwest, tind gen erally much above the average. Heavy rains on the 3th and Gth, followed by cloudy weather and more or less rain all the week, have kept the surface of the ground too wet for cultivation and corn is becoming weedy. The weather has been favorable for the growth of small grain, which in most parts of the state never looked better, with the exception of some fall sown grain that was injured by the drouth of last fall. In the northeast the drouth hindered the growth of small grain in the earl' part of the season, but it is now reported in fair condition and proming an average crop. Corn is everywhere reported back ward, and in some sections at least two weeks behind the average condition for this season of the year. Some of the corn is looking yellow and some re planting has been necessary, owing to destruction by cut worms and washing out by heavy rains, but generally the corn is in a healthy condition. Missouri AVeekly Crop Report. St. Louis, Mo., June 15. The secre tary of the state board of agriculture furnishes the following crop report: The rainfall was almost continuous the first live days of the week in ail parts of the state. In the extreme southern portion the soil is in line condition. In the central eastern portion great injury was caused to wheat and corn by exces sive rains and floods. The temperature has been above the normal. The sun shine has been below the normal. The wheat prospect declined during the week, the greatest injury being from lodging and rust. The injury from in sects is not so great as expected. In Washington county a red beetle has en tirely destroyed the oat louse. Oats and meadows have improved during the week. The apple crop continues to decline, but peaches are excellent and other fruit fine. Kail way Telegraphers. St. Louis, Mo., June 13. About eight hundred members of the order of Railway Telegraphers are in the city to attend the sixth annual convention of that or ganization. Mauj matters of import ance to the order will arise at this meet ing. The question of eliminating from the constitution the non-striking clause will come up. as well as that of apply ing to the v cueration of Kailwaj Lm ployes for admission to that bod'. Sev eral members of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, a sister organization, who are m the city, say that the federation people cannot admit the Railway Tel egraphers unless thev are consolidated with the Brotherhood. The members of the latter organization are hard at work among the railway men arguing the necessity of complete harmony be tween the organizations. The session will last three or four days.

Manuscript of "ironic, Sweet Home." The death of Mrs. Asa Jackson in Ath ens, Ga., has brought up once again the much talked of mystery of the where abouts of the oiiginal of John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet Home.' Mrs. Jackson was a near relative of Miss Mary Hardin, who was much ad mired by John Howard Payne. For a long time Miss Hardin had the only known copy of the famous song in the handwriting of its author. When she was dying several years ago in Athens it was rumored that in one of her eccentric moods she had willed the copy to be buried with her, but when asked on her deathbed if this were true she told Mrs. Jackson that she had not done so, but had left tho manuscript, as well as all her other earthly goods, as a bequest to her. After Miss nardiu's death tho manu script was searched for by Mrs. Jackson, but was not found. Only a few davs ago a reporter called on Mrs asked if nothing had ever come of the search. "Nothing yet," was the reply, "but I Why One Old Negro ConUl Not Write nnd Another Could rtot Count. Two stories characteristic of the negro were told in the smoke room of a trans atlantic steamer. Said a gentleman from New Orleans: I stood on the levee in our city one morning whilo tho paymaster of a river steamer was engaged m paying off the roustabouts. "As each man presented himself at the cashier's window the paymaster asked the question whether he would sign his name or make his mark. If he was un able to write the paymaster, of course, subscribed the name and left a place for the man to place a cross. "You must recollect that since the close of the war and the establishment of schools for freedmen tho negroes of the south are very unwilling to admit ignorance upon their part. "The payment of the men proceeded without incident until ono young up country darky presented himself at the window in response to the calling of the name Eugene Jackson. " 'Will you write your name or make a cross, Jackson?' said the paymaster. " Til write my name,' replied the negro. "The pen was handed to him and tho place for Ins signature w;is carefully pointed out on the pay roll. "The man took the pen clumsily, dipped it in the ink, looked at it and then at the pay roll and finally laid it dowiidi the desk. "What time is it?' he asked, looking up at tho paymaster. " 'It is just 10 o'clock,' was tho reply. wen, men, saiu mo uarky, 'i guess I ain't got time to write my name. I've got to meet a man at the custom house at 12 o'clock, and I guess I'll just make a cross. "The custom house," said tho New- Orleans man, in conclusion, "is about ten . - i ii r i minutes wane irora wnere tho man was standing." -xnac reminds mo or a little expe rience I once had with a negro," said a brick manufacturer of a little town up the Hudson, who chanced to bo of the party. "Wc called the man old Uncle Ned," continued the speaker. "Ho was a dear old white headed fellow, with a bent back and about seventy years old at tho time the incident I am about to relate oc curred. "He bad lived in a little shanty in the town for years and did odd nobs at whitewashing, masonry work and va rious other things. "One day I wanted a man to stack some brick for mo in piles of a thousand each, and to turn a little something in the way of Uncle ed I hired him for tliejob. " 'Can you count, Ned?' I asked him after 1 had told him what I wanted. " 'Yes, indeed, I kin, massa," the fellow replied with a chuckle, 'I old Iriti Jackson and counj; rjght smart, and he ran off the numerals up to ten glibly enough. "Ned began his task and worked steadily for somo hours. 1 looked out hope to find it before I die. Mary kept of mv offico wimlow after awhile aml the ropv concealed all the time while she lived. John Howard Payne sent it to her when he was consul to Algiers, and between the lines were written lit tle love messages. They were sweet hearts once, these two. Mary w:ts offered tempting sums for the manuscript in her lifetime by publishers, but would never part with it. "Several lawyers have lately been to me to get my permission for them to ferret out the whereabouts of the manu script, but I have refused to let them take the case. I feel certain that it will come to liylit before I die." It is generally believed that tho manu script will somo time be found. Some think that the copy, which was known to be the only one extant written by Payne himself, was stolen from the house by a servant. Pittsburg Dispatch. A Little Georgia Volcano. Mr. Henry Garlrell, living about ten miles from Ell i jay, (Ja., says thf re is a tree on the mountain above the large cliff of marble on the line of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad that has been burning for live months. The latter part of last October the woods were being burnt off, and an old hollow tree caught fire. About three weeks thereafter ho saw the fire and found that the tree had been almost con sumed, and the ground appeared to be ablaze. Ho has Avatched it continuously ever since, and can see the fire better on a rainy night. Sunday he took a long rod of iron and some water and poured the water in the hole, but it did not extinguish it. He then ran his iron rod down about five feet through the cinders and got somo out. The whole mass in the hole is red hot, and the material when taken out is very much like shop cinders, but after being exposed for a few hours it slacks like lime. It is very strong with alkali, and smells like sulphur. Gilmer county may have a young volcano. Cor. At lanta Constitution. Government in Competition. It is perhaps not generally known that Montreal has the cheapest telephonic service on the continent today. But so it is, and the increase in the number of persons now having telephones in their residences and offices has been exceed ingly large since the rates were lowered to twenty-five dollars in both residences and offices by the Bell Telephone com pany. The Federal Telephone company has at present almost 0,300 city sub scribers, their prices being thirty-five dollars for offices and twenty-fivo dollars for private residences, while the Bell, in the city alone, have about 5,000. The latter company are increasing their sub scribers at .about the average rate of over a hundred a month, while the Federal company's list of patrons is also steadily on tho increase. Think of it, twenty five dollars a year when we here in Bos ton pay 125 a year, or five times as much. Boston Transcript. saw that he had far exceeded his number of a thousand bricks to a stack.

New- York Herald. Knslisli Hospital Statistics. Taking the quantity of medicine used at St. Bartholomew's hospital, London, as a fair criterion of the medicine used per patient, the quantities of medicine used every year in the hospitals of this country are as follows: Ointment, SO.0C0 pounds; cod liver and castor oils and va rious kinds of mixtures and lotions, etc., 150.000 gallons; upward of half a million pills, and between thirty and forty tons of linseed. Mr. II. C. Burdett estimates that the hospitals of the kingdom have invested property worth ten millions. Their income is nearly a million and a nuarter per annum. The expenditure per bed varies most strangely. It is least m Scotland and greatest in an Irish institution. At Westminster it is only 70 per bed; at University College hospital it is .CHOper bed; at the Royal Surrey County hospi tal it is 111; at tho Devon and Exeter 51, and about the same at tho South Devon and East Cornwall hospital.

Pucciarelli, a Paris beggar, committed suicide by throwing himself from tho window of the apartment which he occu pied in the Rue Princesse. The streets of Paris, if they are not exactly paved with gold for the benefit of tho bej gar, are at anv rate macadamized with bronze. Tho commissary of police for the quarter in which the Rue Prin cesse is situated was called upon to make the usual examination as to the death of Pucciarelli. In performing his task in the dead man's room which was not cer tainly furnished with sufficient luxury to render the same a lengthy operation he nevertheless made the interesting dis covery that the old man possessed in se curities and money no less a sum than 80,000 francs ($10,000.)

It is like Mr. Pullman that the Pull man monogram, L L C. in gold, is the only distinguishing mark upon the side of the car. So many men would have put their own initials there. Mr. Pull man once told mo himself that he hadn't much use for a private car, and most of his traveling is done in ordinary Pull man coaches. Hot Springs Cor. Pitts burg Dispatch. (BAKTON TLACE.)
