THE CRISES OF 1887 AND l857.-The Phil
adelphia Ledger makes the following compar-
ison
"In the initiation of prices produced by the
abuse Of credit in 1887, tho prices of food ran
up to an enormous height, in some cases ex-
ceeding the high prices of the present year.
Flour was twelve dollars per barrel, and other
articles in the same exolbitant proportion. So
completely had industry been diverted from
labor to speculation, that we were actually
obliged to import grain from Europe, fact
unexampled in our history before or since.
Now, however, the case is different. Boun-
tiful crops have everywhere blessed labor with
a rich reward, and. instead of having to i'm
port grain, we have plenty of it to export to
Europe, and would do so more largely if the
inflated prices did not PREVENT it. The general
decline in prices, without any alteration of
relative values which is now taking place,
will enable us to pay our debts abroad by
means of other of our products than cotton.'''

The antidote proved of no value, and though
physicians were called in, aid came too late,
for he died the third day after receiving the

Gardner, last Winter, upon the bill relating to

REMARKABLE CoRN.-We saw this morn
ing some samples Of the famous Peabody
corn, raised by our fellow townsman, Joseph
A. Saunders. 1t is most astonishingly pro-
life, as well as good. Our specimen was a
main stalk, with seven tillers bearing sixteen
ears, from Isingle grain. The tilers are
not suckers which spring from the lower
joint but shoots from the root of the original
root, and are the most productive. They
yield each from one to five ears. The grain
is iull sized, plump, and sound, weighing as
hlgn as slXty-hve pounds per barrel.
The corn is invaluable. Mr.. Saunders
consents to sell all that he can spare, his sup
ply as yet being small 1t is well worth the
ten dollars per bushel which he asks for 1t,
and which is Mr.. Peabody's price in Georgia.
