An officer of very small stature but
very hasty temper was one day vehem-
mentIy scoldng at the first soldier of his
company,a man of uncommon size. The
soldier for some time endured patiently
and even uneoncernedly the storm OF
vituperations, rising up to him from his
dimnutive chief. Finding, however,
that, instead of abating, the rage Of his
officer went on increasing, be quietly
said to his next man, "John, 60 ane

KENTUCKY TOBACCO CRoP.-From reliable infor-
matirR from various sections of the State, it has
been ascertained that the growing crop of tobacco
will be far less than that of last year. both in quail
ity and quantity. In the more southern portions
if the State, and in Tennessee, what is denomina-
ted as GAINESVILLE leaf, is equally short the impress
ton prevailing that the yield will not much exceed
half the usual average. A letter from Todd coun-
ty KY, from an intelligent observer, who is rot
tobacco grower or buyer, states the result of his
investigation that under the most favorable cir
eumstances q two-thirds crop, as ompared with
last year, will not be grown this year in that whole
region. With late planting and the hazards of ear
y fross that estimate is very liable to fall short
