A New York daily paper publishes dispatohf
from thirty-seven States and four Territories
concerning the present condition of the crops
The reports show that despite frosts, floods and
a backward spring the general condition of the
crops, with few exceptions, is Indicative of
en abundant harvest. Tho small grains
prormte well. Winter wheat will give an
increased yield in learly every Btato except
Indiana, Ohio and New York, and In the last
named State only will less than tho average
crop be produced. Spring wheat is much more
flattering in its promise, the Increase being es
pecially marltod in the groat grain States west
of the Mississippi. In some of the old grain
States othor grains are replacing wheat bar
ley, oats and rye especially. In all these there
are Indications of a large crop. Corn shows
a large increase in nearly every State where it
is cultivated. Cotton is expected to give at
least an average crop, notwithstanding the
floods and other drawbacks. Except in a few
cases the sugar cane crop is looking splendidly.
The average crops of rice and tobacco will
probably be secured. Hay and grass crops
have been much injured throughout tho coun
try, and a light yield is generally expected.
The fruit crops have been the chief sufferers
frosts having about destroyed them in several
localities.

asleep. My father and five othor men attempted
to got their guns, but were too late. The In-
mans rushed in from all sides and over
powered them before a shot could be fire
a worn or slaughter then begun. An Indian
put the muzzle of his gun against the head of
one man and fired, blowing his brains against
the door and walls. I saw them kill my
mother and two brothers by beating their
brains out with stones. They killed five per-
..... uou my lamer and tortured him
most dreadfully. He begged them to spare hi
out may only tortured him the more, and
finally they split bis skull with an ax. An

The a Idest feature of the explosion was the
absolute extermination of a whole family, the

ny the fireman, who at once awakened Purser
Htead, who rushed through the sa oon to the
cabin to Wake the passengers, bursting in
several of the door in his effort to arouse
the sleeper. gome 0f the passengers
assert that the purser told them to
take their time, but he denies the truth of the
statement. Before the purser could get back
to his cabin to save the steamer's books, papers,
etc., the saloon was filled with smoke and the
stairway leading to the main deck enveloped in
a sheet of flame. The captain, as soon as he
comprehended the situation, immediately
rushed np to the pilot-house, headed his boat
inshore and grounded her in three feet of water
within thirty foet of the shore.
By this time the steamer waa wrapped in
names, the northeast wind sweeping them
through her fore and aft. The passenger

named Smith sprang ovorboard and floated
about until finally the stewardess reached
a litcciaft, and Smith, when about to

A Desperado's Dcatli.
The death of Jesso James recalls tLe
deatli of another equally desperate ban
dit, " Sam " Bass, who made the plains
of Western Toxas the scene of his ex
ploits. This noted robber for whose
capture, " dead or alive," a large sum
hnd been offered, was finally entrapped
with a comrade in the town of Round
Rock, in the summer of 1875, and after
a short, but bloody struggle, in which
tho sheriff of Williamson county and
two ot his deputies, as well as the com
panion of tho outlaw, wero left in the
streets dead and dying, Bass himself
fell from Lis ln.rse in the outskirts of
the town, mortally wounded by a ball
from a Winchester rifle. Ho was buried
with much " pomp and circumstance"
in the cemetery at Round Rock; songs
were composed and sung in his honor,
and his grave is even now often strewn
with flowers by sympathizing persons.
His gang was broken np, many of his
partners in crime going up into Mis

them, " Fiank "Carter and John Under

An InTtlAtii of the Cr.nei nf These
Dirh traretimltnirfl Vlhleli Make
Powerful llen Weak,
fOoldcD ltlile.J
Much apprehension has boen occasioned
throughout America from the announcement
made by Professor Proctor tbat the return in
nineteen years of the great comet of last sum
mer will cause the destruction of the earth. But
while people are becoming ao strangely exer
cised over this announcement, an event of far
more serious importance, which is taking place
to-day, seems to be almost wholly overlooked.
The nature of this most vital subject can be
better explained by relating the following expe
liences: Bishop E. O. Haven, known to the entire
land, was unaccountably awakened one night
out of a sound sleep, and lay awake nntil morn
ing. His mind seemed unusually active, and
he not Only reviewed his past lire, which had
been an eventful one, but laid extensive plans
for the future. He did not feel especially ill,
but could not account for the unusual activity
of his brain, nor for the restlessness which
seemed to possess him. In the morning he had
but little appetite, but was apparently well in
other respects. In a few days, however, he be
gan to feel restloss and morbid, although lie
tried earnestly to overcome the feeling which
had taken possession of him. But try as he would
the shado v of some evil seemed to follow him,
snd be was conscious of a cradnal sinking
and wasting away ot a 1 his physical faculties
He bad been an earnest and diligent worker,
and in hi r.eal frequently over-taxed his
strength, and being ab orbed in his duties
failed to observe the common symptoms witl.
which he was nfflicted, thus permitting the
work of destruction to go on Unheeded, But
the end finally came in a most peremptory
manner. Shortly before his death he wrote a
letter tho last one he ever indited-in which
he speaks as follows 1 "A belief that death is
near affects different minds differently, but
piobubly all who are in a fair condition of
physical and mental strength instinctively
nliriuK from it wltn an indehnablo dread and
horror. A dying man is no more able of him
self to foresee his own destiny or the (lea liny
of those he leaves than he waa before he begau
to die."
Tho recent sad and Hidden death of Hon
Clurkson N. Potter is one of the most serious
warnings ever given iu the lung list of innu
merable cases ol fatal neleet. it is not suffi
cient to say that many other brilliant mon,
incliid ng Everett, Sumner, Chase, Wood, Wil
ton and Carpenter, wero swept away by the
same fatal trouble. TI10 question is, w. r j
thes-9 mon sufficiently direful of their heal th
aud could they have be -n saved ? The Aib iny
Argw, in speakin? of Mr. Potter' sudden ill
ness and dearb, says:
'One of the physicians who attended Mr.
Potter here was interviewed last evening. He
s'ateJ that Mr. Potter's inability to converse
nad for some time served to baffle the phy
sicians iu thoir efforts to dofermine the root ot
his illness. It seems, however, that Mr. Pot
ter, some two years ago, suffered a slight st
ack of kidn y disease. Unvise dependence
upon a robust constitution and naturally per
lect health, aud neKlect of proper clothing,
ioubtleta sowed the seeds of a disease that
needed but some such personal neglect as that
of Tuesday morning to develop. From the
symptoms at first Bhown, it was thought lhal
Ins only trouble was nervous prostration; b.it
his long continuance in a send-unconscious
state led to the belief that his illness waa seated
11 a chronic difficulty more mysterious aud
dangerous."
Up to the latter part of last year Mr. Ed
ward F. Book, a member of the New York
stock exPhatiKC, was doing business in W all
street, New York. He bad eveiything to en
courage him and make life happy, but was the
victim of unaccountable uueasinets. His ex
cellence as described by one who knew, was
as follows: "At unexpected times, and on occa
sions when he had the greatest reason to feel
joyous he was irritable aud haunted with
strnnge feelings of discontent. He endeavored
o che. k these feelings and appear pleaaaut.but
it required a groat effort to do so ; after which
he would again relapse into his lormer morbid
mood. This feeling continued for a number of
inenth', when be became conscious of an
xlded Muisation of lassitude. lie was tired
ven when resting, and although ex
periencing no acute pain, had dull,
a hing eensations in bis limbs aud various parts
of bis body. Snortly afterward his head began
to achs most frequently and his stomach faiiod
to digest propeily. Being told that he was
suffering from maiaiia he consulted an emi
nent physician, who informed him thai his
kidneys were slightly affected, snd gave him
niedicine to roetur them. But he grew worse
instead of better. He then consul ed other
endnent doctors of another school and was in
formed that ho bad a brain difficulty somewhat
in the na:uro of a tumor, but in spite of all
elf jrts to the contrary ha continued to grow
worse. At thi time his coudition was teniblo.
What were at first simplo symptoms bad devel
oped to terrible troubles. Lie was Qu-ho.1 and
tevcriah, constantly uneasy, and yet always
weary. He bad an intense appetite one day
and vory little the next. His puis waa irreg
ular, h;a breathing labored, and every mo
ment of oxistenoo was a burden. Thcss disas
trous symptoms continued, his facs and bod
became d:s;olore.l, his heart was irreg ular in
its action, and his breath cms in short, con
vulsive gasps. He gtew constantly worse, cot
witiietind.uc the utoiutt pricau'.ions of bis
iriena- anu nniuy aiea iu the (jrea'e'il ajony.
After b s il'.a'h au txamh stion as to its tctun
ca ife was mads, when tin bn.ia wai found to
be in a perfect coudition, Mid tho reason of his
dcccae w.-.s of tn entirely different nature."
Tue experiences which havo l;oeu Cited abovs
all had a common cai:se and wire each the re
sult of one dis'ase. That di::a;e, which side
oeitrully, yet surely removed tha pcop'.o ab ivs
ruciitioned was Blight's d:e?ae o! l!:a kidneys.
Iu the ca-o of Mr. Book tho ixiadnaii n after
death, while siiuwimr. tho brain m bs in perfect
coiidiihii, revealed the ten ibis fait that ha
was the victim of a slight kidney trouble, whie.h
had gone on unchecked, until it resulted in
acute Bright' disease. The leading pnysiciane
and scientists of tho world aro fast learning that
more than one-half tho death which occur are
caused by this monstrous scourge. It is one of
the loo-it deceitful maladies over kuown
to tho human race. It manifests it
self by symptoms so slight and common
as to seem unworthy of attention;
and yet these very inaigniticaiit symptoms are
the first stages of the worst complaint known
in tho history of the world. Thousands of
fieople have died tr im troubles that are called
teartdinease, apoplexy, piiiiemoina, brain fever
and similar disrates, when it waa in tact
lirigi.t's disease of the kidneys. The ravages
of this diseaso lmve been greatly increased
from the fact that until recent years no way was
known t ) prevent its begiuniug nor check its
increase when it had become ono fixed upon
the system. Within the past two years, how
ever, we have lexrncd ot more than four bun
dled pronounced cases of Blight's disease,
many of them much worse than those above
de-eiibed, and most of whom ha 1 been given
up by prominent physicians, who have been
completely cm ed. The means u-cd to accoiu
plirli this end lias been Wamor's Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, manufactuicd in Bocherter, N.
Y., a remedy that has won its way iuto the con
fidence of the public solely upon the remarka
ble me its it possesses. As a result, it is more
widely used and thoroughly praised than any
medicine which has ever been before the Amer
ican public. Indeed there is not a drug s ore
iu the entire laud where it cannot be found.
, Although Blight's diseaxe is so com mon in
cities', it is still more prevalent in the country.
When eminent physicians in the largest cilies
are not able to 1 ecognize Blight's di-ease, it is
only natural that in the couutry, where there
are few physicians of any kind, and those few
so unacquainted with the disease as to call it
by some other name, it should rage tciribly
and yet unknown t the ones who are suffering
with it. Thoi8nds of peopln can look back
aud recall the death of friends from what was
supposed to be some common complaint,
whn it was really Bright' disease, and
no one knew it. The terrible pleuro
pneumonia, which has been so dreaded, is
usually the result of uremio or kidney poison.
Lung fever can be traced 10 a similar source.
Most case of paralysis arise lrom the same
dilbculty, as well as innumerable fevers, lung,
throat, head snd bowel troubles. A vast num
ber of ladies have suffered aud died from com
plaints common to their sex called, perhaps,
geueral debility, when, could the real cause
have been known, it would have been foun I
lo be Bright' disease, masquerading under
another name. In marked coutrast to the cad
case which have been above described
are the experience of many prominent pe i
pie who weie as low as any of the per
sons mentioned, but who were remarkably re
stored to foimer health and vigor by this same
remedy. Among this number are the following
promiuent names: Colonel John C. Whituer,

carry it at right angles under your arm signifies
that an eye Is to be lost by the men who follows

To lend an umbrella signifies that " 1 am a fool."
To carry an umbrella just high enough to tear
