Wednesday, July 9:4th 1889 DAKOTA WHEAT CROP. A G1.00MY i'ROsrECT—A. SHORTAGE OF 30,000,000 BUSHELS. Chicago, I11., July 16—A special to the Infer Ocean from Grafton Dak,, says: -The wheat crop of Dakota is 30,000,000 bushels short. The total production for the terri- tory cannot cutler the hest posible conditions front now until harvest, which begins in the North by the -25th, exceed 20,000,000 bushels, and to put it that high is .a liberal estimate. The greatest detriment to a suc- cesssful crop this year has been the exceedingly dry season, and only, along the streams will- there be any crops at all. Along the main line of the Northern Pacific, the ouce Bonanza farm district, the elevators are closing np. and the, country tributary lb B'isniarck is a barren sand hill. The Jim river valley will barely feed its peraple, and, in short nowhere" in Dakota will there be any wheat for export save along the main 'line 3f Manitoba from a point thirty miles north of Fargo. The cry of famine that was raised last winter in the western part of Walsh County will find its echo alt over the territory the coming winter. Aside from the impoverishing of the people by the failure of the wheat there is another danger which will bo felt almost as severely, and that is the want' of fodder for stock. Oat crop is bad and the meadows away from the river bottom are as parched as the prairie. A trip t.hrongh Montana reveals the same state of affairs. The range cattle will not find enough to live On until cold weather, and e prominent railroad official told a correspondent that, all the extra cars. of the Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads has been ordered to Mantaua to clear out the steers as soon as the lack of food necessitates a reduction in stock. INDIA AND OTHER WHEAT CROPS. The weekly report from Bombay by cable settles the fact that' the Indiau wheat crop is going to be no factor at all in the question of the world's food supply this year. English specialists believe the situa- tion in a few months hence is going to be fully as bad as it was last year. One or two say they expect it to be worse. Of course, the state of European crops is stilt suscep- tible of certein fluctuations, and eaneot be accurately napped out until the annual Beed fair.at Vienna winch, owing to the general aux- iety this year, has been advaticed in date to August 24, but while' climatic contingencies may injure good crops, they will bo able to do little to improve those already rlootned, and the condition in October is mere likely to be worse than better, T Iry demand for wheat 1p the big. plrlohaeang cot3ptriee 01 Europe ;b'td$ fatlt;to be t; talie>; that; • N1404'E,ngla} c.'Ott Fra,n*o prom. ivo `barve!atoousiderably betterban Aei,tlli lvlds and...etacks now stasis the, yield of there two countries la expected to be 40,0001- '00Q bushele iu excess of last year, Spain also will be above .she agerage and Italy only a trifle. under. ertnauy, erist ot"the tenth parallel,, is almost. as good—perhaps the present weather will make her quite . as good—eats last year, but there the favorable picture ends,. 'Indeed, this tenth parallel utay be taken• as fairly dividing the good from the batt. E'est of that line wheat crops have gone all to pieces. Two great expecting countries, Russia. and Austro-Hungary, will this, year find it difficult to feed themselves. Russia, which bad big harvests the last two years, and forced the market to get rid of all its grain in order to float loaus, now confronts a 'rather serious situation. Her big granaries, like those at Odessa, have never before been so empty. of wheat, and the present crop in many large districts is a cotnplete failure. The long drought and then the cyclonic storms which de- stroyed the wheat and oats prospects in Russia have , been. the same for wheat, rye and barley .in • Austro Hungary, Roumania and Eastern Germany. The shortage •over berg will be so great that the market; will be more at. the , mercy of the United States than ever before. APPEASING THEIR GODS. IHORRiBLE 4IUMAN SACRIFICES . IN NEW CALABAR. .From new Calabarcomes news of a Most revolting, sacrifice. Q. few' months ago'the,old King' of Eliot), died,'and, as is customary in. that part of the country, the traders from New Calabar went up to pay their respects to the new monarch. The traders were aware that for a short time after the old king's death the "Iu Iu", rites are performed, but they thought that these wore over. The deceased tuonarch's name was Imphy, and, to the horror of the English. traders, "ilio "Iu Iu" ceremoniee were at the highest when they entered Eboe Town. The rites had been in operation for about two months,:and already about 40 people had been slain to 'appease. the "In Iu" gods. The old king was then lying in a grave. large and deep. Lying in the same grave were nine of his youngest wives. Bach of the poor creatures had both her wrists and her ankles brokeu so that she could neither walk nor crawl. In this state, and suffering the most ex- eruciating pain, the unfortunate creatures were placed at the bottom of the grave, aeven of them lying si,le by side. The bodyof'the-king was theu laid on them ilea transetse directiou. Tho two remaining women were laid down by the side of the king, exactly like the mon.- arch's body. No food or water was given. to the poor creatures, who were left in that position to die. 'Death did not, as a rule, take place for four or five days. Four meu were stationed round the grave, armed with clubs, ready to knock back any of the women who, not- withstanding their maimed condi tion; were able to -crawl -to -the side of the grave. In other parts of the town further human sacgrifices were taking place. Suspende'd from various trees were the bodies of several mon. These poor fellows were also enduring the most agonizing death. In most instances holds .. had been bored through their feet by 'the. ankles. Through the holes ropes were drawn and the men were then tied to a high tree, their hands hanging downwards. The men were then left to die. The traders, as they were proceeding along, were un, willing witnesses of a frightful sacrificial, execution. They slaw a native tied to a tree by the foot and neck. The rope to the neck was thrown over a tree in one direction, and the rope attached to the feet was tied to a tree in the opposite direction. The ropes were then drawn tight, and when the body was distended to its utmost length, another native with a hatchet struck the neck and severed the head from the body. The head was taken to the grave where the king was lying, whilst the body was eaten by the cannibal natives. The white men could do nothing to stop the barbarous practices, as to inter- fere with these 'religious customs" would not he tolerated by the natives, and ;he lives of the traders would have been in peril. They therefore made asuick a retreat from the town as they could. For each of the following ten months there was to be a sacrifice of seven men, FOR DELICATE, SICKLY CIIIL— DREN.

It is agitated by a sweeping charge made by'the Rev. Mourne shrew,, t P ea- bytetian „minister, from the pulpit last Sunday night to the. effect that a virtuous woman between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five years could not be' found in the place. The pastor is quite a young man. He came from Chicago four menthe ago and has been preaching to gtow- ing congregations. He was sensa- tional in his way of puttiug the Gospel truth, and many were drawn to his services out of curiosity. Last Sunday night he was particularly severe, eayiug that immorality had captured the town. He stated in all seriousness that he had boeu told a woman of honor did not live in Leclaire. At the end of the Service the young preacher was sur- rrounded by his hearers, who made violent protests against such lan- guage. The next day he was waited upon by thirty young women, and •a public retraction was demanded. Mr. Drew offered to take back his words privately and to apologize to, his callers, but they would have none of it.. The next step wee the calling of a mass meeting, which was .held last night iu the largest hall in the town. More than four hundred indignant meu and women met. They invited the minister to attend, but it is said he left the State lull went over to Illinois, feariug personal iujury. The meet- ing was •organized by calling a just- ice .cif the 'peace, A. R. Ed wards, one of the oldest citizens, .to tete chair. Resolutions were adopted expressing indignation at the stato- ment made from the pulpit, and asserting confidence in' the charac- ter of the place. The meeting de- manded of the trustees of the church the immediate discharge of the Rev. Mr.. Drew, and all •Prosbyterian churches were warned not to have anything to do with him. 'Mutter - Urge about tar and feathers were often heard, and some of the young women declare they will not let the matter drop until public retraction is made, coupled with an abject apology and a promise not to enter the pulpit again. • FOUND HER IN THE POOR. HOUSE. WHERE MR. BLEAKLEY GOT, HIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG BRIDE. In March last a destitute Polish family, consisting of father, mother and six children, arrived in Detroit. They had emigrated from their native land in means so meagre that, ou arriving at New York, they found that it was impossible for them to got to their destination —a flourishing Polish settlement in Dakota. They bought tickets from New York and got as far as Buffalo, where they found theruseives objects of public charity. The poor com- misioner, of Buffalo furnished them wall transportation to.'Detroit. There they fell into the hands of the Wayne county poor comntiesion- ere, who concluded they would . be taken too much on their hands to seud theta farther west. Other assistance was offered, however, which resulted in the father going to work and some of his children going to the county house. Among them was a bright, pretty and attractive girl of 17, the glance of whose liquid black eye told of an intelligence far above that of the ordinary immigrant girl, and especially one of Polish extraction. If Maggie Kifezyusky was an unfit inmate for anything, she was for the poorhouse. When Supt. Mar tinjaaw her he came to n conclusion. He remembered that he had several applications front bachelors who were in search of life .companions. One of them was fromC.R. Bleak - ley, Tilbury, Ont. The letter stated that the writer had heard that there were some good girls in the••poor house who would like of marry. If the' superintendent had a pretty German girl who would like to marry a rich farmer he would like to hear from him. The writer was a widower and had three chil- dren, and would like to find a good wife. The latter tuns selected from a large hatch, and a teply was for- warded to the writer. Not until two weeks ago did a reply come. It stated that Mr. Bleakloy would arrive in Detroit in a few days and would investigate the fitness of the proposed bride. In the meantime Maggie's father, with the assistance of the two sons, had accumulated himself with' sufficient means to furnish a small house on Illinoie street, near the railroad track. Just about the time that Bleakley's letter came it had been decided to take Maggie and .her youngest sister from the county house. On Monday she was taken from the inetitutiou and Moakley arrived on the scene and presented his meagre claim. He accotnpanied her to her father's house and made known his purposes.

Miss English 'settled herself • in the saddle'...determined not to jump. 'The horse's speed increased, and down the street -car trach toward` North, Atlanta 'he clattered at break- neck speeti,:tlteyoung lady•keepitie' hitt in the roa-:J. A block below Kimball' street Peachtree"is'torn up ou accougt of the chain gang being; at'waik on the road. A heavy rope had been stretched across the street Saturday 'night' to want. drivers of vehicles that the way was obstructed by. Belgian 'blocks and pilus of sand. The horse was rushingdircetly upon the rope, but Misli 'did not seeeit. ' It was j%st high '•euoueh' above the street to mise the horse's beck auout eighteen inches. When within a few feat of it Miss English saw it for- the first 'the first' time. She bowed her bead, hoping to pass beneath it, but it was' a little too low, and as the frightened animal ran under the rope it caught' Miss English under the chin, swept her froth the horse's back, and then, as it rebounded, she wee hurledi high iu the air, falling about twenty feet in the direction in which the horse was going. The young lady soon recovered cousciousuess and told how the horse had run away. No bones were broken, but the muscles about the neck were very sore and Miss English complained of pains in her head. The doctor thinks she will soon be all right. ENGLISH RATHER THAN FRENCH. There was a time when French was tho.only cosmopolitan language; but that time is long passed. 'To- day the tongue of Shakespeare and Bacon, of Milton and Burke, of Whittier and Lowell is spoken by not far from 115,000,000 people. There Is no considerable city of the civilized world where it is not heard. It has long been the language of colonization and of commerce. It is already to a considerable extent, it is every day becoming to a greater extent, it must inevitably and speed- ily become to a prevailing extent, the language of diplomacy.: • It -is plain. to any intelligent student of history why French has been the chief vehicle for international negotiations, and equally plain why it cannot continuo to be so. In the Middle Ages the University of Paris was the intellectual centre of Europe. Thither flocked aspiring students from Britain and from every part_of the Continent. Then Latin was the language of learning. It therefore became the means of communication among learners and the learned. Whatever men .deem- ed worth reading was written in that language, whatever men deem- ed worth knowing was enshrined in that language. Hence tate locality in Paris where students most con- gregated is called to this day the "Latin Quarter." When Constanti- nople fell, and the buried treasures of Greek literature were exhumed, and that morning dawn called "the revival of learning " broke upon Europe, the University of Paris lost its pre-eminence, but Paris did not lose its prestige. Inevitably, though it might be unintentionally, those who talked Latin to one an- other in Paris learned more or less of the native speech of Parieian citizens. When the mighty stirring of the human grind, which was at 0000 cause and effect of the condi. tions belougiug to the modern era, took pinee, men needed a language which was common to at least a few people in each of -inauy nations. Latin would not serve the turn, for no dead speech, howcvei splendid, could adequately express such liv- ing thoughts as wore then struggl- ing for utterance in the heart and brain of the awakened world. Un- der these circumstances the French language became, of necessity, the language of diplomacy, and, indeed, during a long period, was also the language of art, science, letters and refined social life. It is a law of human nature that makes ue cling to customs after their reasons has ceased to exist. But oven force of habit must yield at length to fettle of necessity.

"Glad to see you, salt," said the "Professor," whose other business is liconsed vending and the cure of corns. "You see there's n hoedown to -night; and it's secret meeting night as well, so the cullud people can't get around. But I'll talk to you, sah, just the same.'

"Pretty. nearly. I. drank lots of, 'water, becauae I was a-burnin' up: inside, but I didn't eat much of anything. Well, on the last day of ray period of prayer I heard a loud voice crying. "Cease to mourn, and wipe youah eyes, brother, foah your prayer will be answered' Then I was lifted up to heaven and told to go and preach." This last remark impressed the small boy, who said : "Did yer make de trip in a red-hot chariot?" "Olt, no. I was just lifted eh in spirit. Well, then I commenced to study, and I read the. Bible, and borrowed a coupy of Flavius Josephrie, and read Tris accounts,•and then the truth struck me. I don't see how •the historians missed it, for Josephus tells the whole story, how the two and one half tribes, Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh, whore left behind in Africa after the rest had crossed over." "Perhaps they thought Josey was tellin' a fairy tale," said the boy. "YOU BE QUIET" and the lecturer continued his ex- tract from-Josephys, and then turned to his Bible, giving nutnerous ex- tracts to prove that a portion of the chiUren of 'Israel were black, 'of which the following may bo men- tioned : Songs of Solomon, v. 6•, Lamentationa, iv., vii.,andviii.,and v.; Jeremiah, xiii., 22 to 26; Isaiah, xx., 4: Psalms, lxxiii., 31, with numerous otherextracts.
