of dysiutery. in the inteiior of Africa,
while pinsning his explorations in
that country. It is also reported that
his body lias been embalmed, and Is
now on the way to England. Wc

The latest from the Swank diggings,
a tributary of the Yakima, is that those
who remained and prospected during
the waiter are full of hope that the
diggings will pay well. A recent let
ter says: In digging a ditch to our
claim, the dirt prospected ten cents to
tlie bucket. The writer advises young
men who are out of employment to
come up and prospect, as they will be
rewarded for their labor. We shouldn't
be mrnriset! if there was a rush for
Swank in the Spring.
Snow shoes for horses are in use in
California . Following is a description
of the shoe and its fastenings: It is
Sxl2 inches in size, made of maleable
Iron, and covered on one side with
India rubber, which is well rivited to
the plate. In the center of the plate
on the other siiij is a horse-shoe of
common size, and with sharp toe and
heel corks. This is also rivited solidly
to the plate. The snow shoe is fast
ened to the foot of a horse by means
Of a clasp with a swivel a-rew, and
when fixed thereon the horse-shoe be
neath the plate is fixed directly under
the hoof of the animal.
Among the large number of custom
houses maintained by Uncle Sam,
there are at least twenty-nine that
would seem to be superfluous super
fluous because they are a constant
drain upon the country without cor
responding benefit. The total receipts
at tlieH.- twenty-nine custom houses lor
tlie tiscal vear ending June .10, H7.1,
according to the rert of the Super
vising Agent of the Treasury, was
$60,508 94, while it cost the Govern
ment to maintain them fl38.2so ito,
orfG7,777 9(1 more than the receipts.
The custom houe at Pearl River,
Miss., received a total of fitly five dol
lars and forty-six cents, while it cost
the Government to run it $2,250 73.
While the custom house at Nantucket,
Mass.. had a revenue to report of
$Ai 87, the Government paid lor its
keeping $1,886 38. It may lie just
possible that these treasury leaks can
be stopped without prejudicing the in
terests of the country: and since the
exigencies of the country at this time
are so great, 'demanding retrenchment
and an increase of tariffs a "reform"
in this matter might not meet with
that strenuous opposition it otherwise
would meet under an easier state of the
finances.
The debt ol New York city was in

As an indication that the Grangers'
system of organization is bringing
about the very best ot results, we evi
dence their reported action recently in
Wisconsin, where they succeeded in
completely foiling the plans of a ring
of what operators. It appears that
the ring, which was purchasing wheat
to store in railroad elevators, deter
mined to pay no more than seventy
eight cents per bushel tor wheat. This
action of the ring was met by the
Grangers, who promptly appointed
men to travel through the country
where this game was being played, in
the vicinity of St. Croix, and, when
ever necessity compelled a farmer to
Sell, to pay him ninety cents per bush
el. At once the speculators oll'ered
ninety-live cents per bushel, and their
nefarious attempt to swindle the farm
ers out of about twenty per cent, of
tlw value of their grain fell through
hopelessly. No such corrupt practices
can succeed where the combined
strength of the Grangers can be
brought to bear for the protection of
the farmers.
Police Superintendent. MattelL of
New York, charges that the tire in St.
