The rainfall was 4 47-100 Inches, and the destruction was very considerable. Upward of 200 base­ ments and cellars were flooded on the line of Jones' Falls, and in the depress­ ed portions of the city the streets w* re flooded. •U^In Ohlf, Governor HfcitWlr l-ost- tively will not try his strength against Judge Foraker again. He was barely successful two years ago, when both he aud his c (inpetitor were not as well known to the voters as they are now. Mr. Tloadley has not improved his standing with the people, while Mr. Foraker has steadily gained strength* He is a more formidable opponent in 1885 than he was In 1883. iSFThose who imagine that the gol l leads ef California are played out will note the rich discovery lately made in Shasta county, which is only one of the many rich strikes of daily occurrence. On Salt Creek, about two miles abovl Reading, a lead has been found from which chunks of quartz and gold are taken out, four inches wide and from one to three inches thick containing more gold than quartf. (9*The u John Brown Scaffold Com­ pany" has been, organized in Charles­ ton, W. V., where John Brown was ex­ ecuted. The company has a capital of •1,200, and will manufacture relics from the lumber used in making the scaffold on which Brown was hung. The lumber is now contained in the porch of a dwelling at Charleston, which has been purchased by the pro­ jector of the company. When the porch is used i<p there is an abundance ©t timber in the neighboring forests. I&'A correspondent in a latt ex­ change says: "While journeying south* ward I noticed that white men are •eldom seen working in the fields. Negroes are still doing the work. The plcturesqueness of plantation scenes has not altogether departed. Negro n were plowing, hoeing aud , anj! the gay colors of their s--chiefly handkerchiefs-- augh and joke of theirswartby of the other sex gave the im­ pression of another land as the cars * Wiled by." Blaine and Clftjr. The Washington correspondent of the New York World quotes a friend of Mr. Blaine as saying that the Plum­ ed Knight will never again be a can­ didate for the presidency. Mr. Blaine has a queer belief regarding his future, based upon the marked similarity be­ tween his own career and that of Henry Clay. Early in life both went from their native states to Kentucky. Both entered public life as members of their state legislatures. Mr. Clay was speaker of the lower house in Kentucky. Mr. Blaine filled a similar position in the Maine legislature. Mr. Clay was a member of congress atter- wards and seived as speaker sixteen years. Mr. Blaine was also a member of the house and served as its speaker six years. Mr. Clay was elected to the senate from Kentucky to fill a vacancy. Mr. Blaine was appointed to the sen­ ate, but also to fill a vacancy. Mr. Clay resigned his seat in the senate to ac­ cept the secretaryship of state from John Qnlncy Adams. Mr. Blaine re­ signed the senatorship to becomc secretary of state under Garfield. Mr. Clay was three times the candidate for the whig nomination. He was twice defeatediin convention. He was finally nominated In 1844. but was defeated by Jam^s K. l'olk. Mr. Blaine was heaten ttvice in the national conven­ tion, nominated In the third one, and 'was flefeared by Grover Cleveland. Th«k$boli11onists inJ 1844 threw their vot< 8|o Birney and thus gave New YorkAstate to the .democrats. The mugwumps and St. John men gave it to the democrats again In 1884. Henry Clay's letters on the Texas question are held to be parallel with some writ­ ten by Mr. Blaine in their evil effects. Clay was never a candidate after his final defeat, and it is believed the sim­ ilarity between his career and that of Mr. Blaine will, in this respect, remain unbroken. iy Spring go that the majjRg a of the civi l a p r o o f < safe in theVto the gl owing hope V. There K^It Is said the Democrats of Ore­ gon are uot quite satisfied with the appointment ef Herbert F. Beecher, son ef Henry Ward Beecher, to the best appointive office in the state. Civil service reformers charge that it le In the line of the spoils iystemt and that the young man received the ap­ pointment simply, and only as a re­ ward fer the service which his father rendered Cleveland inJ the Campaign. Well, Henry Ward believes in rewards If not in punishments. On the line of rewards wbo deserved more than the cbiefof the Mugwumps? Of course kite old "wheel horses" are mad to see any "plunder" slip through their Ingers, but they siAuld remember that It required the work of the Beechers to turn the scale, and the precious fork must be rewarded. iQPThe many warm friends In this section of the able Congressman from this District, Hon. Reubeu Ellwood. will be sorry to learn the following, which we clip, front a special corres­ pondent from Sycamore to the Inter- Qcean: Congressman Ell wood's health is In * precarious condition. Besides the fecal physicians there have been in at­ tendance Drs. Bridge, Johnson, and Andrews, of Chicago. The malady •eems to be a disease of the large in testines and the liver, but just what its nature Is baffles all the physicians who have been called in attendance. Just liow long be will cling to life is a mat­ ter of time. That he Ms dangerously til there Is not the possibility of doubt. . LATER.--Since the above was in type We learn tbat bis disease has taken a "'1* turn fcr the worse, and that the Doc­ tors have given up all hopes of his Recovery. His death may be expected it any hour. ifcgrThere is an uneasy feeling in the public mind with respect to the interests of the Federal service--a feeling shared by the bolting Republi­ cans who were obstreperously assuring the country a few months ago that th purity and independence service would be absolutely care of Mr. Cleveland. A growing is perceptible among the spoilsmen, and a growing fear among patriots, that the pressure upon the president to violate his oath and promises, and render of no effect the pledges of his party, will not be resisted after the State elections. If the Democratic managers did not suppose that the comparative caution with which the Administration proceeds In its busi­ ness of discharging worthy officials And Democratizing the service were a mask over its ultimate purposes, a mask put ou to beguile the already suspicious mugwump, they would have no heirt for the campaigns before tuem. They suppress in a measure their coutempt for reform--though the cynical growls of the party organs are no longer smothered--because they need the votes of several thousand Independent Republicans in the close State of New York this year, but they expect that after the November contest Democrats will have no u&e for the reformed prin­ ciples of official tenure, unless they get turned out of power after packing the offices, in which event they would hold up the principles theyipropose to out­ rage as * defense for their appointees. ^"The following is a general text of the new election law in this state: The principal features in the bill provide for honest and responsible judges and clerks of difierent parties, whose call to serve is made Imperative; that the election pre :ints shall not ex­ ceed 450 votes; that every voter must be duly registered; that the registra­ tion shall ,be so conducted that no one can be put on or remain on the regis­ try who is not a qualified voter; that a canvass shall be made of every pre­ cinct by the clerks as official canvassers prior to each election; that triplicate returns and dupllcite tallies shall be made to different officers; that a care ful watch shall be maintained of the canvass by persons representing the candidates aud the parties; that the election officers shall be officers of the county court, and subject to punish­ ment by way of contempt in case of atay dereliction in any duty; that the polls shall close at 4 o'clock in order to finish the count at an early hour. Another provision is th»t the canvass shall be honest, and penalties imposed shall be commensurate with the crimes committed against the public. The bill applies to any Incorporated town, and t^pder it the polls open at 6 o'clock In th4 tnornlng.

Some of our boys were practicing Saturday evening for the Tub Race, but as they do not live near the water, the light on the water caused an im­ pairment of vision and they got out of their tubs before they get quite to land.

CHICAGO, III., June 30,1885 In the southwestern States the Wheat harvest has been on for several days and it will not be long before the new crop will be in the market, this fact combined with the general depres­ sion in all commercial aflair has forced Wheat down two cents in the past week. The receipts of Wheat at this market for the past week Is In excess for the corresponding week of last year by 250,000 bushels, while the shipments for the past week are nearly 700,000 less than for the same week one year ago. Such figures do not Indicate any Improvement In the prices at an early date. Corn Is in sympathy with wheat, and Is selling a shade off, and the favor* able crop reports do not have any tendency to strengthen the market. Oats are very dull, there being little or no demand for shipment. Prices are on the decline and each day wit­ nesses a shade lower. There are few calls for Rye and Barley and the sup­ ply is less limited; prices remain the s ime. An interesting table of figures has been compiled showing that in 1868 the rate of freight by Lake and Canal to New York on Wheat was 24c, while at the present tims it i«less than 7c per bushel. The diflerence of 17c per bush, of course is to the advan­ tage of the producer. The Live Stock market is holding its own very well and Bhi pplng.cattle have advanced 60c per 100 pounds the past two weeks. The supply of this grade has been quite limited. Common stock and Texans are Just about holding their own, the very liberal receipts keep the prices at about the old figures. The quality of Sheep received is quite poor, and prices have declined. Eastern buyers cannot tauch the market here yet. The produce market is rather unsettled owing to hot weather and liberal sup­ plies. Shippers o{ perishable goods have lost money. The bottom has been knocked out of the prices of straw- herrles and berries of all klmls. Choice Butter holds its owr, while Cheese Is doing quite well. Demand lor poultry is limited, and Eggs are about one-half cent lower. New Potatoes Choice, sell at almost top figures yet but only limited quantities are bought.
