The Clinton New Era, 1889-09-20, Page 7THIS HONEY CROP. Th.e° Honey crop is everywhere a. poor one this year, mainly on coaunt of the early heavy rains. ;bile wet weather has pu•olonged abloom of honoy.isoaring• planta, has greatly hindered bees from arh ng among them. Another ause is not often thought of, aud hat is the great number of work ng bees caught in Armors while edon, with honey and returning the hive, falling tp the ground d there•perishing. The life of avarage honey bee is a short at the best, but it is made orter by a wet season. The ecess of California honey grow - 0 is largely due to the fact that e.State is full of wild honey- aring flowers, and also that the es work among thorn with no r whatever of rain. Tbo Cali- nia crop this year is also a fail- s and what there is has all been gaged by English dealers for ipment to that country. Some - w English merchants secure slier information alout crop ilures and successes than do ose of any other country,. It one chief secret of their suc- s.—American Cultivator.

THE EFFECT OF DUTIES. The lumbermen, through their association, declared themselves, some time ago, in favor of unre- stricted trade! with the United States. Tho returns show that during the last nine years, since 1880, they have sent nearly five thousand million feet to the Amo- rican market. Tho dirty on this exportation has amounted in all to ten million of dollars($9,9S2, 000)oe a little over a million a year. Canada supplies about one - twentieth of the lumber consum- ed every year in the States. Tho duty does not by any moans re- present the whole loss inflicted upon the Canadian lumbermen through restriction. For, if the duty was removed—it is $2 per thousand feet—they would be able to ship to the American market a vast quantity of lumber which now; as they express, it will not bear any duty; that is, there •ie no profit in shipping it while the tax has tb be paid, the $2 eating up up the margin. It is the same with Agricultural produce. Tho Canadian farmer could do a far larger as well as a much more profitable trade with his American neighbor if the cus- toms barriers were removed, for the simple reason that stuff could then bo sent to the market which under the present circumstances will not bear the duty. Water freezes and becomes ice at 82 0 Fahrenheit. At 31° it is still water, so that the difference of a single degree of cold counts a great deal. ,In like manner, the difference of a few cents per bush• el will often determine whether an article can bo grown and sold profitably or not. Tho indirect in- jury done by the duty is almost in all cases more serious than the direct loss inflicts. A BASEBALL ROMANCE.

Tho article was a brass ring valued at 12 cents, dutiable under the customs laws for three' cents. Why Mr Zimmern wanted a rima of this material, or whether it was a gage of hie early love, or possibly an heirloom in his family, Acting Collector McClelland doss' not know. Tho only fact hetakes official cognizance of is that the ring camp inclosed in -a letter, that it owed a duty of three cents t the Government, and that, no matter what might be the rerauli,, that amount must be collected. The amount of red tape through which this innocent brass ring passed before it reached its owner is hard to specify. When the deputy collector at the post office discovered it in an envelope, he and his staff of clerks had to fill out seizure papers in quadrupli- cate, reporting the fact to the Collector. One of the clerk,, of the latter had to acknowledge the receipt' of the documents, send copies to the Surveyor and naval officer for their information, and indorse upon the third an order to the Appraiser to make an ex amination of the seized article. rho fourth copy was carefully filed in the Collector's office for future reference. This was the work of the Col- lector's office, but there was more to bo done before the Government could get its three cents, The official in the seizure room had to bo instructed in writing to turn the ring over to the Appraiser ; the Appraiser had to report the result of his examination to the Collector, and the latter had t° acknowledge the receipt of the report, and so finally when the owner called for his property and' planked down his three cents there had begnleapended, accord- ing to the opinion of experts in the Custom House, at least $15 in clerk hire, stationery, messengers' j salary,ete.--Bufralo Courier. +-• • ELOPED WITII MLR PASTOR A Chicago despatch says : "Th residents of Wauconda, a little village in Lake couuty, a °few miles from Barrington, a augur of Chicago, are greatly wrought up over the elopenepat of the }.ac- tor of the Baptist church, the Rev J.

Griffis became pastor of the Baptist church at Wauconda several months ago, Laving come there from Toronto, Canada, bringing letters of recommendation and in- troduction from Baptist people. He was well liked as a pastor, and hasepronounced gifts as a pul- pit orator. According to his own story he has had a peculiar his- tory. He was captured by thedi Inans when only a babe, and remained with them until he was 16 years of age, knowing nothing whatever of his parentage, In his 17111 year he took up the life of a cowboy, becoming a most pro- nounced type of the people- who follow that industry,. taking:upon bimself all their vices end charac- teristics generally. About six years ago he drifted to Toronto, and became interested in the.Sal- vaticu Army there. Ho was pro- nounced a bright convert and soon attained offieial rank. I1s married ono of the sisters of the Army, and some months subse— quently both he and bis wife unit- ed with the Baptist church. Tie preached there for three or ft. tr years, and then camp to Illinois, locating at Waueonda, as stated above. Hies wife became much interested in Miss Tidmarsh, who is a remarkably bright girl of pleasing face and manners,: and in- vited her frequently to hor home. About six weeks ago Mrs Griffis concluded that her husband wade becoming altogether too intimate with the young lady, and called him to account for i -t. --She st- eered several letters which hadm been sent. by Miss Tidarsh to. her husband, but upon his pt'o- mise of rotor elation dest toyed them. On Tuesday afternoon the llev Gi i ais. went to Il it rington, telling his•wife that he intended making a visit to Chicago to ire present at a clerical gathering. At Barrington he hired a horse and .buggy, and that .e.ening re- turned. to SVaueorda and drove to the home of Massa_ 'dtnarsh.

Chinese, according to their ancient custom, to blcom at the advent of their New Year. It is highly prized and called by them "Joss -Flow -a, or"Flow- er of the Gods." The bulbs are speci- ally grown by a method known only to themselves, whereby they attain great size and strength, insuring luxuriant growth and 'remarkable profusion of bloom, in a very short period. They are generally flowered in shallow orna- mental bowls containing water, the bulbs being surrounded by bright color- ed pebbles to prevent them from top- pling over when in bloom. - The flowers, which are borne in clus- ters, on tall spikes, are white with a golden yellow center, and deliciously fragrant. The bulbs bloom in six to eight weeks after planting,—The Steele Bros. Co'y, Toronto, Bulb Catalogue. OhBpldrou'iI Cry for pi71'eh r'S Castorla. Relatives of a miserly old farme went to his house near Newcastle, Ind. and insisted that his money should be safely deposited. He brought out a bundle containing $2,000 and after much perenasion produced, from various places in the old farm house, his wealth. In the garret stowed under the rafters, were fonnd.bundles.of bills, and from beneath the floor were brought boxes and cans filled with gold and silver. The money $26,000, was taken to Newcastle and deposited. r The dark lands of the East are fast becoming fascinated with Western ideas.
