DEATH OF GEORGE PEABODY.

George Peabody died at his residence
in London, November 4th. He was q
man of true benevolence, true simplici-
ty and grandeur of character, of warm
heart and wise head, who gave not in
empty ostentation, but to objects the
most worthy. For his unbending in
tegrity, his unflinching patriotism, his
zeal for education, and his thoughtful
care for the poor, he deserves higher
honors than any words at our command
can confer. Long be his memory cher
ished by a people who can appreciate
liberality so wisely directed!
He was born in Beverly, Massachu-
sets, and afterwards removed to Lon
don, where he became an eminent bank
er. His gifts to schools, colleges, scien-
tiiic institutions, and to the poor,
amounted to several millions of dol
lars.
His remains will arrive from London
early in December, and will be deposit
ed near his old homestead in Mas sachu-
sets.

making a total of over $64, 100000 since
the first of March. The actual out

I3l, 1S9. President Grant and Secretary
Boutwell, will therefore have a good ac-
count to render of their stewardship on
the assembling of Congress.

1t is probable the coming session of
lively time among the politicians. Eight
months will have elapsed since the April
adjournment, and the number of politi-
cal axes that have grown dull, mean

interval between the sessions of Con-
gress has not occurred since 1865.

The story that Secretary Boutwell,
contemplates recommending plan for
the resumption of specie payments at
an early day was originated for New
York sensation. There is good founda-
ton for the statement that the Secreta-
ry has come to the conclusion that the
West and South have not sufficient bank
ing facilities for the transaction of their
business and that he has a plan for fur
nishing additional currency.

The preliminary report of the De-
partment of Agriculture OIL the state of
the crops makes the startling declara-
ton that the actual reduction in value,
the past season alone, from the "alter-
nate drowning and scorching" of farm
crops, has been not less than S200000,-
900! The importance, not only of in
dividual prosperity, but to the National
resources, of better draining, and in
general, more careful culture, is very
obvious. 1t is a significant commentary
on the natural fertility of the soil, that
despite all drawbacks, the corn crop
will be "amply sufficient for all the
wants of the country" while we are
told that, had the spring wheat been
equal to the winter, the whole crop
would have been enormous" 1t is also
noteworthy that the area of cotton cul.
tivation was increased last spring fully
sixteen per cent, and that more than 6
million acres are added to the cultivated
| area.

The prairie fires have done but little
damage in this vicinity, so far, although
a large breadth of country has burned
over. Two or three farmers near town
lost some rails, but otherwise the loss is
only in hsving the fine coat of grass de-
stroyed. Altogether, the people have
been fortunate.
