Seme of the new crop Is being bought, but net In large quantities. A dozen or mere buyers have been out during the past two weeks, among them M. Davis, S. Hernstelm, Jacob Nusbaum, Sam a.Xihel, J. Altschul and Frank Pentlarge, bnt ex actly what they have done remains a mystery, bocause they will net tell, and the growers fellow suit. When asked as te prlces paid the buyers say that they are , regulated entirely by the quality of the goods, 'nnd they have bought as low as 6 cents for wrapper?, and paid as high as 25 cents. In one thing they areunamlneus and that Is that there is but little geed to bacco in the last crop. Mr. Davis has re ceived and tasked about sixty cases ai d Mr. Pentlarge Is buying largely. The Saluuga correspondent of the I.v- Bt.LiOKNCKB sends the following report of the sales In that vicinity: Benj.

Goods are held for an ad vance, and it 1 9 bound te come, consider ing the great deal or trash that is among the new crops. Every day It becomes evi dent mero and mero that the continuous heavy rainsdurlng tlte past growing seasen have injured almost lrreearablv mmt of our new domestic crops. That Is the renseu why se few buyers are riding the country Bnd are offering such low figures for the domestic product. Tobacco infocted with rust, tobacco sure te ret In the hands of the pickers Is net a very seductive temptation for investment. Were it net se, the domestic tobacco would at least command a fair prlce for bluders and flllers. bocause the Sumatra can cor cer talnly net be held as a substitute for that class of domestlo leaf. Hence Micro Is an excellent prospect for the disposal or old seed. Neltherls llioreartuh for the Sumatra. Of course, there are weekly sold some few hundred bales, as manu facta re must have some leaf te cover their cigar bunches with. But the sales are satisfactory neither te the buyer nor seller. A great deal of it Is veritable trash, most of It is net of the fashionable color, and almost all of it leaves a great deal te be wished for as far as its assortment is concerned. If the market should be deluded with another crop like the bulk of the '68 was, it will net require any prohibitory duty te drive it out of our market. And In the face of such a demoralized market the Dutch com panies are pushing the Inscriptions of the new crop six weeks ahead 1 It leeks as if the old saying would be roalized : Whom the gods want te destroy they strike llrst lth madness. The only refreshing sight eflbrs the ac tivity in the Havana leaf. Anethor suc cessful season is secured te the Havana Importers. Transactions are steady and the price advancing, advancing, r'rem the Tobacco Ixaf. The market this week showed consider able activity, nud salei of 300 and 600 cases lef the '68 Pennsylvania bread leaf were (quite numerous. The reason fur this is, 'the new Pennsylvania crop Is said te be a very peer one and shows considerable damaged tobacco, and the '87 Pennsylvania seed is about cleaned from the market. All kinds sold te soma, extant. Prices are firm. Buying of the '89 crop is being done lit a very slew way, as farmers are de manding big flgures for what is conslderod an inferior article. The farmers will have te accept prices according te the quality of their cteps il they want te dispose of the same. . Gnus' Repert. Sales of seed leaf tobacco reported by J. S.

"In practice, however, It was the custom for the prison surgeon te make a pre forma examination of the political offender who had rendered himself or herself liable te corporal punishment and certify te the governor of the prison that In bis Judg ment such political prisoner was net strong enough te take a flogging without danger te life. Whether as a matter of fact this certificate was true or false, the governor always madeit his warrant for substituting some ether form of punishment. The gov ernment at that time did net venture te use the whip upon the backs of educated and refined men and women, and the surgeon's certiflcate was a mere legs! fiction intended te relieve the prison department from the necessity or actually enforcing Its right te flog political convicts, and at the same time te held that right In abeyance.

The bill passed the Senata dur ing the last Congress by a geed majority, but its fate In the present Senate is less certain. Several senators who were former advocates of the measure will do de cllne te vote for It new. Among these Is Senater Blackburn, who will act under In structions from the Legislature of Ken tucky. The senators from the new states of Washington and North and Seuth Da kota are also said te be opposed te the bill. A number of ethor senators who voted for the measure wben it was last boferotho Senate are extremely doubtful whether the state of the treasury will warrant the ox ex ox pendlture of seventy odd million.

A few days after her engagement te the man of her choice was announced she became 111 and rapidly grew worse It was finally decided by the physicians that the only thing that would nave her was the tranffuslen of bleed. The man who had wen her band was awfully sorry, but he thought he noeded all the bleed he had in his system. Ayers heard of the need of his lored ene and Immediately offerod himself, and the operation was performed successfully and with geed results. The engagement was breken, and six months afterward Ayrca was married te the lady. Shortly after the marrlage Ayers began te grew 111, and In a short time bis heultli was completely broken down.

"The first word of the trouble was re ceived at Bruiuerd, a short tlme since, te theotlect that the Indians had been dying off like sheep, and a medical and relief ex pedition was at ouce organized and seut out. It seems that when the Indians signed the Mllle Lacs treaty they were premised a certain sum of ready money, and relying en this, they failed te make the usual prevision for the winter.

It Is Special Legislation, and se Con trary te the Constitution. The read law which was passed by the state Legislature In 1887, land the constitu tionality of which has been lu the courts for seme time, was declared unconstitu tional by the supreme court en Mendsy In an opinion filed by Justlce Williams. The act provides principally for the taking of land for read purpoaes in cities of the first class and for the assessment of damages, and the constitutional question arose as te the right of the Legislature te thus make special prevision for certain localities In tie state tn the face of the constitutional prohibition of special legislation. " In order that a given act may oscape the charge of being a local law," runs the decision. " it 1 necessary that It should be 'appllcable te all the members of the class te which it relstes, and be directed te the existence and regulation or municipal powers and te matters of local govern ment.' A law that will bear tbe application of this test Is within the purposes for which classification was designed, and therefore constitutional. A law that will net bear lis application Is local, and effends against the constitution." It is then stated that the previsions or the set or 1887 relate wholly te certain Judicial precesses referring te land con demnation, and net at all Te municipal ad ministration, and that the law is therefore unconstitutional. The first two sections of the act, however, are believed by the court te be constitutional. Chlof Justice Paxserrand Justice Mitchell think the wholeact unconstitutional.
