Hebman Ruff, crazy with drink, ran through Bleeker street, New York, the other day shouting, "I want to kill President Arthur' Daniel Curley was found guilty at Dublin the other day of partici pating in the Phoenix Park murders, and sentenced to be hanged Hay 18. Twelve Arab jugglers and magi cians from Asia Minor created much curiosity on the street in Chicago the other day. They go to St. Louis as a circus attraction. Owing to the wonderful amount of Mexican silver dollars circulating at Havana, tradesmen have agreed to receive them for not less than 90 cents on the dollar. Wm. HARrER, of Urbana, Ohio, last fall discovered gold ore on his farm in the western part of the county. He kept the matter quiet, and is now pre paring to begin mining. The Georgia Democratic conven tion the other evening nominated Henry D. McDa'niel for governor by acclamation, after a special committee bad reported in his favor. Indians who crossed from Minne sota into Canada are beiBg decimated by small-pox. Three hundred are re ported dead. The remainder are on their way to Portage La Prairie. During the first nine months of the current fiscal year the internal revenue receipts amounted to $108,825,798, being an increase of $251,398, over the corresponding period of the last fiscal year. The nitro-glycerine taken from the men arrested in London last week was exploded the.other day to test its quality, and plowed the ground for. several yards around where it was placed! The jury in the cane of Joe Brady brought in a verdict of guilty of the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Burke. The judge immediately sentenced Brady to be hanged, May 11th, 1883. The first iron sailing vessel built in America, the Til lie E. Starbcck, was launched the other day from Roach's yard at Chester, Pa. The ship has steel masta and bowsprit, and is 2,300 tons burden. "A man dies very much as a bucket of water is drawn from a river. There is a little depression for a moment, then with a gurgle thewaves fill it, and the stream flows on, with the sun shining on the spot as before." Mas. W. J. Stefen, wife of the probate judge of Missoula county, M. T., shot-and killed a maa the other night named Smith, who waa attempt ing to enter her room through a win dow, during her huBbacd's absence. . Several Nihilist leaders have re cently been wetted at St. Petersburg, among them the notorious female,' Vera Saasulitcb. Eighteen Nihilists were convicted the other day, six being sentenced to death and two to life servitade. A heavy snow and wiqd storm prevailed throughout Colorado on the 20th aad 21st It was very severe ia moaataio' towns. Hoases were un roofed aad miles of telegraph pole's are down There was a heavy fall of snow throughout the whole mouataia region. A Cincinnati paper save there are at Hot Springs, Ark., apwards Of 7,000 people mostly fram the North, and including a number of proalaeat mea. We are here wing a aatioa of sick people, aad the more moaey they get to spend the more ailments they discover. Twelve armed tramps captured a freight train on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad at Olympia aad order ed the conductor to take them to Lexinsrton. The conductor started the train, having first lelegraphed the situation to Mount Sterling, where officers arrested the tramps. A witxess before the Tewksbury investigating committee at Boston the other day swore that a Harvard student brought a negro's skin to 'a tannery at Woburn to be made into leather, and said the corpse originally came from Tewksbury. Pieces of the skin ware exhibited to the committee. The Jury ia -tbo United States cir cuit court at Atlanta, Georgia, find J. M. Robinson guilty of all the counts in the indictments charging the pre sentation of false accounts as deputy marshal. This is one of a series of prosecutions begun for the depart ment of jastlce. The trial excited great interest. The conviction makes a sensation. An item from' St. Paul says officials of the Northern Pacific are responsi ble for the statement that large slaughter, houses will be established at the various points in Yellowstone country along jh liae of-raadVwita' ta view to ebJamentdf 'dressed beef to the east, and by this means a great sevlag will be made in contracts for shipment of live stock. These was quite an excitement last week tip in Holt county, on the dis- coverv of coal, about twenty miles. north of O'Neill, at a depth of 75 feet below the soap stone, and just above bard reck, and that they could go no deeper for lack of proper machinery. There seems to be no doubt but that coal has been discovered but we shall wait further developments before re joicing. It is best, under all circumstances, whatever the exciting causes may be. to keep a cool bead. No human soul has any sort of right to wilfully and deliberately subject itself to influ ences that will deprive it of the guidance qf reason and calm judg ment in the conduct of the affairs of life. No excitement, so-called relig ious or otherwise, is wholesome, if it makes its subjects crazy. A cave-in occurred at Keel Ridge mine, Michigan, between Quinnesee and Iron Mountain, the other morn ing carrying down the engine house and eight men, as follows: Patrick Eagan, Richard Williams, WV Hen derson, John 'Morris, Thos. James, Eenard Wicks, Jeffree, Wm. Polked. Only one man (Wicks) had been res cued, and he was fatally injured. At the present writing it is believed the lives of all the men are lost. Charles Smith, a farmer living four miles north of Earlville, Iowa, killed his two sons with an axe while at work in the barn. Returning to the house, with the same weapon he killed his wife. He then attempted to slay his two daughters, but they escaped, and gave the alarm. When they returned it was found that Smith had killed himself by cutting his throat with a butcher knife. No cause assigned for the deed. A recent special from EI Paso irom uroosrs neaaquarters says: General Crook, with two hundred Apache scouts and one company of cavalry, will move in the mountains of Mexico. Mexican troops co-operate. Fears are entertained of a fight between Apache scouts and rangers from Tombstone, who are reported en route to attack the San Carlos In dians. Gen. Crook has ordered 300 scouts to be in readiness for a long scout into the Sierra Madrias. The other morning. a disastrous tornado struck the White Oak, Little Rock & Ft. Smith railroad, ten miles west of Ozark, Ark. The wind blew with a force beyond the power of des cription. The sides of ibe mountains which before the storm were covered with trees, are now shorn. None are standing, even oaks being snapped ia two like pipe stems. Afterwards came hail, which lasted until the ground was covered with ice, many stones bslng nearly as large as hen's eggs. The steamer Nestorian arrived at Boston on the night of the 14th with C50 passengers, most of them impqv erlshed Irish people sent over at the expense of the English government. The greater part are families, some of which number eight or ten persons, while the average is about five. The' steamer Parthia, from Liverpool, arrived the other morning, also brought a large num ber of the same class of emigrants. Sixty-nine evicted farmers arrived the other day at Philadelphia in the sailing ship Indiana. The house of James Worrell, who lives not far from Nebraska City, was struck the other morning by a cyclone, raised from its foundation, and car ried about ten feet away, where it struck the ground aad Vsbounded, was carried about thirty feet further and smashed into kindling wood. Young Worrell was badly injured in the back, neck and back of the head. Miss Smack was badly bruised ia the back of the neck and one arm broken. The rest of the family escaped with slight braises. They lost everything they had, even their wearing apparel, which was blown away. . The mystery .surrouadiag the dis appearance of little' Maggie Heanecka was s61ved the other day at Milwau kee, by a fagman finding her body ia the river near the lake. It was badly decomposed, but the clothing was in tact, and she has been fully identified. Persons, figured in Nebraska charged with abdncting the child. Bordea, of nwiuags, ana Hamilton, or Lincoln, the latter of whom had been arrested aad imprisoaed charged with her afidaetian. There is ao doabt of the identity of her remains aad those charged with the abduction will pow be relieved from all suspicion ia that direction. The make up of the American Ag riculturist for May haa a great mauy very interesting items on a variety of subjects. The reader will find sever al in what follows: We have "been looking over reports of what Devon cows have jufit been doing in the but ter line among us, and find that nine teen of the cows have been producing from 15 to 20 lbs., 5 oz. each, of best quality of butter per week. Consid ering their medium size and economy of keep, these are great yields ; but in years' gone by, there are records of still larger yields, nearly equalling those of the most famous Jerseys of the present day. The Devons, how ever, not only excel in the dairy, but in several other respects. They are very superior as working oxen, have a quicker step and greater endurance than any other breed, and are the most powerful of all for their size. The. only other cattle that can be com pared to them in uniting so many superior qualities are the Red Polled Norfolk and Suffolk, which, in fact, are hornless Devons. The garden pays well,, even with hand labor. It would pay much bet ter if the main burden of the cultiva Uoa ware put anon the muscles of the hone. Most farmers aeglect the gar dea for their Held crops. The advan tage of a frequent stirriag of the sur face soil to growing crops is greatly underestimated. It is said that it pays to hoe cabbage every morning before breakfast during the early part f the season. There Is nothing better for laying hens ia the spring than milk, after the cream has been taken off. We have tried it several seasons with complete success.- With the milk given fresh from the dairy-room every day, the fowls will need no other drink, and it will supply everything required ia the way of animal food. The pullets fed with milk and corn, and a mixture of corn meal and milk, through the cold weather, have given an abundant sup ply of eggs. We have als6 found milk one of the best kind of diets for young chickens, seoa after they come from the nest, to promote their health and rapid growth. As a general rule eggs are worth twenty-five cents a dozen, and poultry twenty cents a pound in the east, when pork brings but ten cents a pound. Horace Greeley was always going a fishing, but he never went, and a busy life abruptly terminated. The ten sioned cords which received no relax ation, suddenly snapped asunder. There is no other diversion, perhaps, which affords so much relaxation for men of all nations) classes, and ages of people as fishing in all its various ways and methods. One would scarcely believe it that a work just published gives the names of 2,496 different volumes on fishing. Per haps the most interesting of all these, next to Isaac Walton's, is the volume soon to be brought out in this country written by the late David Foster, of Burton-on-Trent, England, who gives vivid descriptions of salmon, trout and pike fishing. The President. Newspaper correspondents are hav- ine considerable to sav about Prosi- deut Arthur just now, particularly concerning his old-time political friends, and his "break" with them -since he entered the White House. "They do say" that representative Crowley was the last of these, and that some two weeks ago, while at the White House, he considered some thing done or omitted to be done as a snub aud went away in high dudgeon. The gossippy correspondent adds that the President longs for the period when he shall shake the dust of the White House from his feet, and go out into the world and enjoy himself, just like other men. It would be well for our presidents and the aatioa which they serve if our presidents would not try so much . to be unlike their real selves. Of course theirs is a high responsibility, and any man, however great his abilities, may well doubt the fullness of his capacity for the service required of him; never theless, he should exact from his fellow citizens the-privilege and right of being a man among men, as well as a chief among public functionaries. Public duties and calls must not be so absorbing as to reduce the official to a mere manikin, always dressing for effect upon the crowd of tuft-hunters. The Journal does not believe that President Arthur need concern him self much with this talk. His admin istration, so far, in its prominent features, has met the very strong, cordial approval of the people, and if some or all of Mr. Chester Arthur's former chums are not pleased there with, more's the pity for them. The tone of the President's administration has been good- and of good effect. He has bad the manliness to freely ex press his honest opinions, when the expression of them required a con siderable measure of courage, and for this the American people will always honor the memory of their present chief executive. Congressman W. P. Springer of Illinois, who recently attended the Iroquois banquet at Chicago, being interviewed said that the meeting was not in favor of Tilden as the standard bearer in 1884, or any other presiden tial candidate, and so far as he knew no preference for any individual was expressed. Its only -object was to enunciate democratic principles, and voice .the sentiment of 'the psrty on great questions of the day. There was an overwhelming sentiment, how ever, in favor at the tariff for revenue only, and it was bis opinion that rep resentatives of the northwest would demand insertion of this plank in the platform, af the aext democratic aational coaveation. There has beea receatly a cave of the gangway of a tunnei colliery at Ashland, Pa. One boose disappeared. .We did not have space last week for each a mention, as wc wished to make of the democratic banquet held at the Palmer House, Chicago, Friday evening, April 13th. The gatheriug was a large ouc and many a name among the list of guests is known where reputation and brain are re spected and admired. The large, main dining ball of thePaltner afford ed barely sufficient space for the accommodation of the guests, and when all were seated the array pre sented was One worthy description. Among others the following gentle men were seated at the Iroquois club table: Ersklbe M. Phelps, president of the Iroquois club, iu the center; on the right of the president United Spates Senator Thomas F. Bayard; of Delaware; Hon. Thomas Hoyne, William F. Vilas, of Madison, Wis. ; Judge Lambert Tree, Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Lexington, Ivy. ; A. F. Seeberger, Hon. Lyman Trumbull, James G. Jenkins, of Milwaukee; Hpn. William Springer, of Spring field, 111. ; Hoil, Carter II. Harrison, Judge J. G. Rogers, S. Corning Judd, Judge Gary. On the left Rev. Ga lusha Anderson, James O. Broadbead, of St. Locis ; John W. Doane, Will iam Henry Hurlbut, of New York ; L. Z. Leiter, Gen. J. C. Black, of Dan ville, 111.; Everett P. Wheeler, of New York ; Judge T. Lyle Dickey,.! Sterling Morton, T. M. Shaw, of Springfield, III.; J. C. Gregory, Hon. J. R. Doollttle, Hon. R. W. Town send. Mayor C H. Harrison's speech cre ated some sensation on account of its denunciation of free trade doctrine in its broadest sense. He predicted dire disaster to the democratic party if it abandoned moderate protection and inserted au out-and-out free -trade plank in its national platform. .His remarks created considerable dissat isfaction amoug other speakers. Letters of regret were received from Samuel J. Tilden, Gen. Hancock, Samuel J. Randall, Abram Hewitt, and S. S. Cox, of New York ; Gen. Geo. B. McClellan and Gov. Ludlow, of New Jersey ; Governors Stoneman, of California, Crittenden, of Missouri, McEnery, of Louisiana, Adams, of Nevada, Wallace, of Connecticut, Berry, of Arkansas, Blackburn, of Kentucky, and Cleveland, of New York. Ex-Senator McDonald, of In diana, and numerous others, sent let ters of regret. During the day the rooms of the Iroquois club were filled with visit ors and the presidential outlook whs canvassed at length. The general drift of opinion seemed to favor Samuel J. .Tilden for the standard bearer in 1884. After Tilden Mc Donald, of Indiana, was the favorite choice. Cat Moral. Ceres, April 12, 1883. Editor Journal : It is some time since I gave you a letter and now I can say the most of the people arc re joicing in the prospect of one of the best crops California has produced. The wheat iu this county and iu fact all our section from Tresno south, to Red Bluff north, in this valley and in Los Angeles and coast counties, the general report is good. In this coun ty I have made two trips of some length, and can say the outlook is splendid ; from any point almost rich, dark grain, wheat shows itself as far as the eye can reach. The vision is splendid: Early now heading out, and the copious rains insure with a few showers the late sown, as ground is wet. Wheat has become the lead ing interest in this state ; miuiug takes a back seat, and we can count by thousands the parties that have got left'on mining-stocks. Good costly farm buildings are taking the place of the make-shift shantieB of earlier times. Wind mills and fences and water pipes to irrigate the fruit and shrubbery come in order, and many fine country mansions, surrounded by the waving acres of wheat, have changed the outlook all about, and the land is farmed much better and where 10 bushels was considered a fair crop, they now often get 20 and 25 to reward their labor ; three times plowing, first 6 to 8 Inches, second shallow to kill weeds and keep mel low, and last to sow; this shows wheat that does one good to nee, and can stand almost any drouth we have, if got in before January. Cyrus Lee. . Prof. Mezzrofp, the nihilist and head leader of the Irish dynamite party, who recently arrived at New York from Europe, gives a wonderful account of what this dynamite party could accomplish in a brief period. He said if England did not lose her hold on Ireland his party would leave I her a mass of ruius ; that a dozen men could destroy London in a night by a chemical fire and dynamite, and they meant to do it. He declared they would blow every English man-of-war and all merchant marine flying the British flag aud plying between British ports or ou the seas. They could do this without breaking inter national law and irrespective of where they themselves were located. At a trifling expense every harbor in Eng land could be fired. Then they would blow up every bank in England and take 'possession of the gold, $95,000, 000 a year, that England bad forcibly plundered from Ireland. In closing, he said they bad England completely at their mercy and had given her warning. If she did not take it, then her doom would be on her own head. LEGAL NOTICE.
