The Big Corn Crop.

Mr. Biddle, the capable | and well informed Freight Trafic) Manager of the Atchison railroad | 5 | system, has made some estimates of | Brev the crop in the territory traversed | by the lines of that great corpora- tion. He puts the product iv Kan- sas at 300,000,000 bushels, in Mis- souri at 250,000,000, and in Illinois at 250,000,000, and in Texas at 100,- 000,000. That is to say, in these four States, the crop is three times as large as that of last year, and nearly twice as large as that of the phenomenal year of 1892; and Mr. Biddle calculates that this portion of the country’s crop will funish 1, 800,000 car loads of traffic, and keep the railroads busy for ten months. During the past year, perhaps $40, 000,009 or $50,000,000 in gold has been takenout of the mines; but the farmers are going to take out of the soil in the form of corn what is equivalent to $1,000,000,000 of gold. Such a crop staggers comprehension, and illus trates the productive capacity of the nation in figures that tell a story which seems marvelous. It is reported that some of the Western farmers are contracting to sell their corn ut 18c to 20c a bushel; but it is to be hoped that this dis position is not general. There is no necessity for marketing corn at such a price, even though the crop is one of the largest in our history. The farmers who uderstand their busi- ness will not be ina hurry to sell. They are not obliged to sell their corn at all as.corn, kunt can feed it to cattle and hogs with more advan- tage. It is estimated that they can thus make it bring not less than 30c. Those of them who are not pressed by debts can do still better by hold- ing it until next year, when it is rea- sonably sure to command a higher price, as a big crop is usually suc- ceeded by a smaller one. It has happened more than once that corn has sold for 40c to 50c within eigh teen months from the time when it was being sold at prices below 20c because of a belief that its abund- ance would cause it to go lower Corn at less than 20c a bushel is al- ways a safe speculation, regardless of the size of the crop; and money | 297; so invested rarely or never fails to yield a better return than the ruling rate of interest,ia spite of waste and shrinkage. The producers should make this profit instead of giving it to the speculator. That is where their main chance of prosperity lies; and they have themselves to blame when they take a lower price for corn under the impression that they must gell as soon as possible on ac- count of the supply being larger than the demand —Globe Democrat.

Hannibai, Mo., Aug. 29.--At one o'clock this morning Edward Tilbe shot and killed Henry Scott, near Tilbe’s home,two miles east of Han- niba!. The killing was the result of a family feud of long standing. Tilbe was returning from a neigh- bor’s, when Scott emerged from am- bush and fired at him. In return, two shots were fired by Trilbe, one taking effect in Scott's head and one in his breast, killing him instantly. | LEAKY OLD COASTERS. j Ships ihar Dodge Ke Whose Captains Ma e the me nd of a ve use it wou ¥ men who can afford to own them mand live on rey don’t put it re the men who sail th them. For instance. from Calais or any port the wind is t right, and she can’t live if it is very strong. If the wind is just right she might reach Boston in a day and a night. But, on the other hand, she might be from two to three weeks making the journey, dodging from port to port, and perhaps remaip- ing nearly a week in one place, as some now here have done. But they can’t make much money out of that, ean they? They certainly can't. Most of them carry less than one hundred thousand feet of lumber, and the way rates are now the owner can't pay his men and clear more than four hundred dollars a year. And yet the captains of these coast- ers, who are nearly always their own- ers, have a comfortable home and a little farm down on the coast some- where. They plant potatoes enough in the spring for their own use. The father sails his old leaky boat along the coast all the summer and fall, clears four hundred dollars, pulls her up on the shore in November, and then ves into winter quarters. What does » do winters? He doves nothing; that is, if running the government at the corner grocery and doing the chores and living with his family and enjoy- ing himself gab be called nothing. His isa simple life, but it 1s an independ- @nt and happy one. He owns his little farm on the coast, as lovely a spot probat the sun ever shone upon in New England, or a millionaire ever built his summer cottage upon and paid thousands of dollars for. Of cour: n't cost our coaster cap ch and his permanent home pot so elaborate as a summer cotta but it is snug and comforta- ble, and though potatoes and fish might prove too frequent for a fastidious taste, yet you can get used toanything.

Most of them read a great deal in the winters and take weekly publications. These coaster sailors are a distinct class, and very different from the fish- ermen.

The observant woman takes careful note of the changes that are constant- ly going on about her in dress, man- ters.and customs generally. One of the most felicitous changes now taking place is the passing away of the nick- name and the sensible return to the good old-fashioned cognomens of half acentury ago. She who was baptized Elizabeth practically ignored that ster- ling name for years, and was called Bessie, Lizzie, Libbie or some other weak and undignified “pet name,” but nowadays she signs herself ‘Elizabeth Stuart Brown” and takes pride in her pretty Biblical name.
