Now, whether this tabular statement shall
turn out to be correct or not. It is the best we
have for the present, and before the charge of
unTeliability IS adopted against it. a statement
exhibiting at least as much labor in research and
compilation should be furnished. -
So much for the Commissioners agricultural
report. If others are permitted to iudge from
appearances ct large, the inference might forci-
bly, be drawn that the yield of this year should
at least be equal to that of 1865 A larger breadth
OF land was sown than the year previous, by 80,
900 acres and then again, every one will re-
member that the rain storms during the late har-
vest were by no means so disastrous as those of
1862 fact which is fully attested by the average
table. There is little mystery about the mat
ter, which. now that prices have touched the
basis ofexportatiOn, may. possibly, be solved"

Those who deny the correctness of the Agri-
cultural Bureau report, with respect to the
yield of the late wheat harvest, owe il to the
public, whose opinion they desire to correct, and
W hose quiet ReQuiescence in high prices they are
disposed to secure, to present some figures of
their own Of more reliable and authentic char
aeter. The bureau is one Of the departments of
the government, and as such it possesses very
ample faciiti for the elietation of facts. II is
not pretended that its expeditions or data are
exactly correct, but it will be admitted that its
crop statements heretofore made have proved
by results TO have been very sclOse approxima-
tions. All short crop advocates, it will be OBJ
served, attack this report and declare 1t to be
grossly erroneous.
One Of our correspondents ventures the asser-
ton 1T is evidently made up from returns, at
best only mere computations OF probabilities
and made as early as June and j gly last and
another uses language like this: IF you want
to make the Agricultural Bureau estimates stck.
in reference to the crop Of Indiana, Ohio and
Y PENNSYLVANIA Just ask the shippers to the in
terror of those States how much wheat and hoHr
has left st. Louis and Chicago for places that
have always, heretofore, had an overplus to ex-
pOrt?" These statements, however satlsfac-
tory to the writer's, do not meet the demands OF
the question. Indeed, in view of the important
statistical character Of the issue. they may be
termed loose; and we respectfully protest
against the demolition of an official estimate By
any such process. In the first place the table
ofthe bureau shows the condition Of the crops

Ex-oov. Randall in Paris.

A good story is told of Ex-Governor
Randall of Wisconsin, when he was ap.
pointed Foreign Minister, and was spend.
ing a week or two in Paris en- route:
il" AT the hotel at which he stopped " ere
three or four EnglishmeI, who, as is the
wont of that smiable race, made them
selves very offensive to our Yankee Min
lister by sneering at his Government, pre-
dictions of its fall, abuse of American in
situations, Qualifications of the Confeder-
acy, and all that sort of cockney talk so
common amongst Englishmen at the be-
ginning of the war.
"One morning, while sitting in the
porch, compelled, to his intense disgust,
to listen to their toddle, an organ-grinder
came along, and after playing a tune or
two started up on Yankee Doodle. The
eockneys could not stand that, and at once
commenced to shout to him to clear out.
But the Ex-Governor liked it. Beckon-
ing the organ-grinder to him he asked
him if he had any other patriotic tunes in
his machine, but found that he had moth
ing of a national character except Yankee
Doodle. " Well" said he, handing him a
dollar, "keep On playing that till 1 tell
you to stop" The musician obeyed Or
ders, and started the machine. The En-
glishmen stood it about fifteen minutes,
but, finding that the fellow was doing
Yankee Doodle by the days work, gave
it up and quilted the porch in disgust.
"'Now, said the Ex-Governor, calling
the organ-grinder to him, Il want you to
go and get anew machine that will play
Yankee Doodle, the Star Spangled Ban
ner, Hail Columbis, America, John
Browns Body; and the Red, White and
Blue. Send the bill to me. Come here
every morning, right after breakfast, and
play the whole string of them, and don't
move out of yourtrack after youcommence
playing at ~anybody's order but mine
Two or three mornings after that, just IS
the cockneys had got fairly launched on
American affairs, the organ-grinder ap-
peared, and started up on Yankee Doodle.
From that he went to the Star Spangled
Banner, and then to Hail Columbia, to the
great rage of Her Majesty subjects in the
porch.
"For three days the programme was
repeated, until the poor fellows found it
vas going to be a regular thing, and. to
themselves from being Yankee
Doodled to death, were obliged to change |
quarters to another hotel. Our
American official then settled up with the
organ-grinder, and enjoyed his morning
thereafter in peace"

Ole Bornemann Bull, the celebrated
Norwegian violinist whose visits to
this country in lS43-5 and in
1924 our readers will remember, died
at Quebec on the 10th inst, at the age of
ifty-six. His career has been a cheokered
one. Destined by his father for the church
his passion for music was so strong as to
lead him to Withstand his fathers opposi-
ton and the disfavor of society for the art
which he reverenced. He left his home
for Germany at the age of 10, and after I'M

where he excited an enthusiasm at that
time unprecedented. In ls45 he returned

came again to this country, and purchased
