The report was adopt* cd and ordered printed in the county papers one week before meeting. The subject of Geography was then taken tip by H. R. Baldwin. The death of Mrs. John Morton, of Osborne, Kansas, though not unexpect­ ed by her friends, I* none the less sad. Mr. Morton, who is well known In this part of the county, especially among the teachers, was married tlie Drat at last June to one of Kansas fair teachers, and with her vialted his old home and friends. His visit was shortened by the ill health of his wife and he soon Iwilli mju tu tnv WCIt trrih tuC Thiw hope that tier health might be restored t)ut fell disease, consumption, had a flro hold on her system and all their «Sorts were unavailing. Mr. Morton lias the heartfelt sympathy of all his friends In this sad affliction. The captain of a Hamburg steamer recently arrived in port with a cargo of eleven veritable cannibals whom he Obtained near the Straits of Magellan. At first he fed them with cooked food, but they all vickeued upon that diet.-- A large supply of raw meat, however, restored the tone of their stomachs, and by the aid of a tew such delicacies *« tallow candles, they reached Ham­ burg In good condition. They are to lie exhibited first at the Jardin tTAc­ climation. in Paris, and will subse­ quently appear In the other principal European cities. In illustrating the explosiye charac­ ter of dust mixed with air. Professor L. W. Peck, said in a lecture delivered In 1878: "If a large log of wood was Ignited it might be a week before be­ ing entirely consumed. Split it up into cord wood, and pile it up loosely, and it would burn In a couple of hours. Again, split it up into kindling wood, pile it up loosely, and perhaps it would burn In less than an hour. Cut it up iuio shavings and allow & strong wind to 'hrow them in the air, or in any way keep the chips comparatively well separated from each other, and the log would, perhaps, be consumed two or three irinntes; or, finally, grind it up into a fine duRt or powder, blow It in such a manner that each particle ^ Is surrounded.bv air. and it would buru in less than a second." w STOCK, JUST RECIEVED --AT- Maiman's QLorsisra HOUSE, AT WAI CONDA.
