THE CROPS.

The recent rains, followed by the
genial atmosphere and sunshine Of
the last few days, have given a
quickening impulse to vegetation,
and hopes of plentiful harvest are
more promising. The country in all
directions is putting on its vernal
robes-inviting, luxuriant, and beau.
tiful. 1t is with pleasure we learn
that the fruit will suffer much less
than was apprehended. Being I'M
usually backward during the late cold
weather, it measurably escaped inju-
Try, and if nothing intervenes to pre-
vent, we may anticipate an abundant
supply. The crops, we, are told.
though less promising than could be
wished, have, within the past few days.
improved remarkably; and, though
late harvest may result, yet by no
means diseouraging one. Our ac-
counts from various parts Of this and
adjoining States in regard to the
growing wheat, are quite cheering,
and the prospect Of good yield, if
not heavy crop, has already dis
PEELED the fears entertained few
weeks back. Indeed. unless we shall
yet have a very unfavorable season,
we know of nothing to prevent our
farmers from gathering as good crops
as they have done for years. In some
localities the prospect is rather unfa.
vorable for a good yield, but upon the
whole, we are led to believe from con-
versations with intelligent gentlemen
of this and adjoining States, that the
crop will turn out good one. - Nash

ALARMING.

We find the following alarming ac-
count of the destruction of the cot
ton plant in the Montgomery (Ala)
Mail of Tuesday
CoTToN EPIDEMIC Tap RooT Dis
EASE Yesterday We spoke somewhat
of the dying out of the cotton plant
in all the country from which We had
heard. Since that article was written
we have met several planters, and we
find no exception to the rule. 1t is
irregular vegetable epidemic, likely to
prove more disastrous to the world
than the potato rot. A short crop
this season will be a curse to all con-
cerned, and short crop we are bound
to have. The only question is-are
we to have sufficient stand with which
to make half crop? Hail and fresh
cts have spread devastation in the
finest cotton regions of Alabama or
of the worId-but bail and freshets
are local, and the injury they inflict
cannot compare with the insidious dis.
ease Of the tap root of the cotton
plant-a sort of consumption super
induced by cold and wet, under which
the young plant yields up its life
with the first few hours of sunshine.
Breadstulfs, as well, are scarce and
high, in all the cotton region. Will
not the planters who are blowing up
their frost-bitten cotton, be wise anG
plant in corn? What we are to do,
without corn or cotton, we DO not see.

bad. This year We see many such
notices, but we are assured by prac-
teal farmers that the wheat crop new
err was better, and should a partial
failure occur more wheat would be
raised than in any previous year, fol
five acres have been sown this year

A voice in a crowd at the door

A voice in a crowd at the door Of
the Mozart Hall, in Louisville, the
other night was heard to say 'look
out for your pocket books" A gent
who was going up the steps at the
time, instinctlvely clapped his hand
on the breast Of his coat, where be
his pocket book, with some $40 en-.
closed, and feeling it safe, thought nc
more Of the warning. After leaving
the Hall at the close ola lecture he
had attended, he discovered that his
pocket had been cnt, and his money
stolen. That warming cry had been
the ruse Of the thief to ascertain who
had a pocket book and who're it was

Railroad Progress.

Some. interesting facts in regard
to this subject are gathered from the
annual report Of the railroad COM
missioners Of New York:
The first railroad constructed in
the United States was the Quincy
road, built iu 1927. The first pas
sepger railroad was the Baltimore
and Ohio, which was opened with
horse power for fifteen miles in 1880.
The Mohawk and Hudson river road
was open for public travel with horse
power in the summer of 1881. Lo.
comotives were first used in this
country in 1881 ON the Mohawk and
Hudson railroad, and in 1882 upon
the Baltimore and Ohio, and on the
South Carolina railroad. In 1928
there we're but three miles of railroad

SrRYCHNINE IN WHIsKEY.-The Leg
islature of Ohio, just adjourned, passed
law which makes it States prison
offence to use strychnine in the man
ufactnre Of whiskey. BY the use
of certain quantity of this poison
mixed with tobacco juice, every bush
el of grain is made to produce five
gallons Of whiskey; while, with an hon
est distillation, the produce is only
half that amount. The Ohio Legs
lature did not think it worth while
to legislate on the subject till they
found out that it was the drainage
from these strychnine distilleries that
killed their hogs, causing the bith'
erto mysterious disease known as
hog cholera. Fish have also been

les in which this delightful beverage
