WASHINGTON, May Is.
A crowd assembled. this morning, in from
ofthe War Office, 10 view the Mexican tro-
phies, taken at Vera Cruz, after the surren-
der of the city and castle, and brought to the
seat Of Government Col Bankhead Most
of the visitors were of the genter sex.
The trophies are two triacolor flags, with the
Mexican arms in the centre, about - feet
long, by twelve WIDE One floated above
the principal bastion ofthe city, and the other
OF the battlemehts of the castle.
There were also ten other flags, which be-
longeu 20 companies or regiments,and some n
good deal tatteled and torn. Some were of
silk. One has an eagle embroidered i'll silk.
None of them bear any motto. only one has
an inscription, to NATURALIZATION peymGnente
No. 3" On the whole, they are shabby
set of rags. How much glory they represent
is another matter.
The appetite for trophies will not be thus
easily gratified. Gen. Scott will probably
send home the prize cannon.
That the Mexicans, instead of making
peace, will resort now TO the guerilla system
ofdelence is very probable, and is announc-
ed as certain, by the most intelligent ofthose
who write from the scene of operations. On
the other hand, we resort to sequestraton and
forced contributions. Thus new chapter
is about TO open, in the history of this war.
Gen. Scott has no positive orders to march

10 advance or not. But see that
Mr. Kendall, in his late letters, expresses his
belief that he will adopt that as the snfest and
most eXDedient course.

Messrs. Editors:--I write to inform you and
the public that any son was under the trent

for n very troublesome disease OF the skin,
without obtaining any relief. | then applied
to several other Physicians, who gave him SO
much medicine and dieted him so low, that
thought he would die from its effects one
physician told me that it was disease to
which some families were subject, and could
not be cured. Some called it Scrofula, and
others teter, salt-rheum, eczema, leprosy, &c
After trying every means for nearly hVe years
without effect, was advised to give nun "
Javne's Alternative At this time he was lit
erally sore from his head to his feet. Some.
times it would dry up and scurf of, then break
out again as bad as ever, and itch and burn
so intolerably az to drive him almost 10 DIS
traction He had not taken the Alternative,
however, two weeks before there was great
change for the better. He wentto school all
the time while taking the medicine, ana par
took of the same kind of food the rest OF the
family, and run about through thick and thin,
the same the other boys of the school, until
he was perfectly cured, and became tat and
hearty, and though now over five years ago,
yet not symptom ofthe disease has ever made
its appearance He took, altogether twenty
six bottles of the Alternative, and no other
medicine while using it. -

A Word to the Farmers.

The foreign news in 10 days paper promi-
SEES fair demand for American crops of the
present season. In France, at least, the in.
dications are that American bread stuffs will
he welcome until lS4S; and probably it will
be so in Great Britain. With a lack of seed
and people Frustrated by famine and disease
it is not probable that Ireland can produce
any thing like an ordinary crop, even though
the season should be favorable. We antic-
pate good prices in Europe for the surplus
of American crops this year, and venture TO
hint TO the farmers that they should he pre-
pared TO take advantage of any favorable cir
cumstances which may arise Hitherto they
have not been able TO send grain to market:
but we hope and expect that enough of the
Central Rail Road will be completed to be n
valuable for that purpose on the opening of
1913. Corn and oats promise the best of IL
ny grain for market-corn for expectation,
aud oats to supply the place ofcorn at home.
If we are right, the policy of the farmer
should be 10 raise wheat for his own con-
sumption, since Western -four will probably
be high, and 10 lay in for large surplus OF
corn and oats. both by sowing largely and by
raising root crops as substitutes for corn and
oats in feeding horses and cattle. Butter
and cheese, and beef and pork, are also in
good demand, and are always reliable fof
good quality-HdichmGn.
