The CrOp Report.

The monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which will soon be
issued, contains the following informa-
ton concerning the crops
Corn-The condition of corn, as re-
ported in the August returns, was high
except in the Southern States, and the
reports for September in the Eastern
and Middle States are equally favorable,
still more favorable in the States beyond
the Mississippi and Missouri, and some
what less so in the Ohio Valley. The
States below an average in the corn
producing districts are Kentucky, IS
per cent. Ohio, % Michigan, 90; lndi-
ana, 81; Illinois, %. Those above the
average are Wisconsin, 100 per cent. !;
Minnesota, l0S; Iowa, 49, Missouri,
los, Kansas, rs; Nebraska, ll2.
Wheat-The wheat reports are far
less favorable than the returns of the
spring and early summer, except as far
as relates to the Eastern and Middle
States. The condition of wheat at the
time of harvesting is thus stated Above
the average, New Hampshire, lO4 Mas
sachusetts, l0l New York, l02; New
Jersey, 10; Pennsylvania, 1917; Mary
land, 1902; Michigan, LOG. Below the
average: Maine, 95; Vermont, 90 4; Del
aware, 81; Virginia, 10; North Caro-
lima, SO: South Carolina, So; Georgia,
50; Alabama, 65; Mississippi, "a ; Texas,

81 Illinois, 90 Indiana, 81 Ohio, so !;
Wisconsin, "a; Minnesota, So Iowa,
90; Kansas, 9S; Nebraska, So Califor.
MIA, rs; Oregon, %. The amount grown
in the South is small, but the low con-
dition there will affect the supply but
little. The depreciation is out 10 per
cent. in the West, which will be partially
offset in Kentucky by the increased
area.
Barley-Barley is reported in condi-
ton below the average, except in few
States.
Observation-Disclosures is less in
quantity than usual.
Rye-Rye is nearly an average crop.
Hay-IIay is reported greatly re-
duced in quantity, but is of excellent
quality.
Potatoes-Potatoes are nearly an ave-
rage yield. The sweet potato crop is a
full one.
Sugar-There will probably be an in
crease of 80 per cent. in sugar

Sad Marine Disaster.

The EUening Wisconsin, of the 25th Of
September, gives the following in rela-
ton to the loss of schooner and ten
persons on Lake Michigan
BY the arrival of the propeller St.
Louis, Capt. Sisson, we have received
intelligence of serious disaster near
the Manitous, involving the loss of a
fine vessel and all on board except the
captain. The schooner Charles II. Hurd
left Chicago with a cargo Of about u 600
bushels Of corn, and when near the
Manitous, during the heavy gale of Fri
day night, sprung leak and foundered
between two or three miles off the head
of South Manitou Island, going down
in deep water. Her entire crew, with q
single exception, were drowned. The
person saved gives his name as w. O..
Harrison, and says he was captain of the
vessel. He drifted ashore on the North
Manitou Island, Saturday afternoon, in
an exhausted condition, and at the time
the st. Louis left had not recovered SUI
ficiently to give a coherent account of
the disaster. The captain had his wife
on board. Her body was picked up off
the South Manitou lighthouse, Sunday
forenoon, by some fishermen. The IIurd
carried crew of ten persons, nine of
whom lost their lives. The captains
wife added, makes the total loss of life
ten. The vessel was three-master,
fore-and-aft rugged. She was built at
Detroit in 1868, by J. M. Jones, and
owned by Messrs. Ralph q Harmon.
Her rate was A and valuation $27 900.
The disaster is supposed to have been
caused by the opening of her seams in
the heavy sea.

The Mount Gents Tunnel.

The foreign journals report that the
total expenses of the Mount Gents tun-
mel have amounted to $l3,OO0,OOO, of
which 100000 are to be contributed
by the Victor Emanuel Railway, or
Railway of Northern Italy. This sum
was to be paid before the opening of
the tunnel. 1t is reported that the
French Government agreed to pay
$3.S00,000 ifthe work was accomplished
in 1882, with premium of 100000 for
every year gained upon the stipulated
time. AS the tunnel has been COM
pleted eleven years before 1882, it is
contended that France is bound to pay
81, 100000, besides the original contract
price France, it is also argued, will
have to pay five per cent. interest on
the installments of money due as the
work proceeded Under these circum-
stances, the charges borne by the king
dom Of Italy, it is believed, will not
amount to 100000; and the reduc-
ton in expense, it is commended, has
been fairly gained by her diligence in
carrying on the work. At one time.
the hard quartz which the excavators
encountered rendered it extremely diff.
cult to ascertain what the progress of
the work would be. but, fortunately,
this stratum was only ! ,247 feet thick,
and no serious resistance was encoun-
tered elsewhere. The masonry of the
tunnel, it is stated, is excellent through.
out, and no inconvenience whatever,
from smoke, steam or mephitic air, is
unprecedented.

Observation-Disclosures.

The Democrats hold their own re-
markably well. They are being beaten
worse and worse every year. They car
ried Wyoming last year so thoroughly
that they had the Senate and House
unanimously, and this year the Repub.
leans have achieved tie on Joint bal
lot.
In California, the bulletins Of victory
grow better and better every day. The
Republicans are now certain of the cleo
ton of the Governor. who last year was
a Democrat; of the three Congressman,
when two of them were last term Demo
Gratis; and of the Legislature. which
chooses a Senator in the place Of Cole.
In ten counties Booth is said TO have
gained four thousand votes, even as
compared with the Presidential election
Of 1868, when Grant carried the State
by 800 majority.
And now. Maine emphasizes the vic
tory splendidly. On the very eve Of
the election Sept. A. the Chairman Of
the Democratic Central Committee sent
a secret circular over the State, implor-
ing Democrats to make a rally on cleo
ton day. and capture the Republican
works, assuring them that "yictory is
certainly within our reach it will as
sure us glorious national victory in
1871" The plot was betrayed and the
Republicans rallied in alarm and car
ried the State by some 1000 majority

FOrney,s RecOllectiOns Of Lincoln.

The following is from Forney's recol-
lections:
SIN many respects Abraham Lincoln
had few parallels. He was most con-
siderate of the feelings and deservings
Of others. Although Douglas defeated
Lincoln for Senator in 1853, he gave
him his confidence Immediately after
his Inauguration, and never failed in
generosity to his widow and children.
When ! was defeated for Clerk of the
House in March, 1862, he called in per.
son upon number of Senators, urging
them to vote for me for Secretary OF
that body. When Stonewall Jackson
was killed, and one of my assistant edi-
tors spoke kindly of the better part of
his character Abraham Lincoln wrote
me commenting the tribute to BRAY e
adversary. If you visited Lincoln he
never wearied you with dreary politics
or heavy theories, or glorltied himself
and his doings. In every crisis he
sought the advice, not of his enemies,
but of his friends. To his convictions
he was ever true, but his opinions were
always subject to revision. He delighted
in parable, and especially in the rude
Jokes of the South and West. He hailed
Artemus Ward and Petroleum V. Nasty
as benefactors of the human race, and
no witticism, whether delicate or broad,
escaped his keen appreciation. He was,
withal man of sentiment, reading
Shakespeare like philosopher, and re-
membering the best passages. A little
poem written by Frances de Haes Jan
vier. of Philadelphia, called The Sleep
ing Sentinel was an especial favorite,
and The Patriots Oath and 'Sheri-
dams Ride, by Thomas Buchanan
Read, were always recited at his request
by Mr.. Murdoch, whenever that royal
actor visited the metropolis. He was
neither bosterous nor profane. He
cared little for the pleasures OF the ia
BILE, and although reared among from
tier people, largely addicted TO intoxi-
eating drinks, he preferred water as a
beverage. He liked the theatre, espe-
cially when Edwin Forrest, Joseph JEFF
ferson, John Brougham, or John 5.
Clarke was the star. Though he fire.
quently accompanied Mrs. Lincoln to
the opera, it was rather in obedience to
social demand, or an eagerness for rest
in the corner Of his box than a taste for
scientific music. He was a capital peace
maker, and was especially resolute in
refusing to adopt the enemies Of his
friends. He had horror of making
speeches, although fine colloquial ora
tor. and when he did address the peo-
pie. it was in short sentences and only
for a few moments at q time.

ElOpement Extraordinary.
From the Chicago Times.

1t was reported at police headquarters
on yesterday that wealthy young lady
had eloped with her uncle's hostler.
The matter was not intended for publ
cation. On the contrary, everything
possible has been done TO keep the
scandalous affair out of the newspapers.
The neighbors, however, would talk,
and the story soon leaked out, although
the full particulars were not easily got
at. 1t appears that young Prussian,
named Rudolph Liebig, arrived in this
city from Buffalo some four or five weeks
ago. In the course of a few days he
applied for and found work as a hostler
in the stable of a prominent banker and
South Side church goer, who lives, prob
ably, on Indiana avenue. Rudolph was
willing soul, and it was not long be-
fore he succeeded in creating the i'm
preston among the pious members of
the household that he was most ex-
emplary young man, and God-tearing
hostler.
At least so thought Miss Adele
p, the bankers niece, whose father
is wealthy cotton factor in Syracuse,
n. Y. Miss Adele thought there was
not man in all Chicago who could
compare with Rudolph in form and de-
pertinent, which sentiments, however,
were only laughed at as those of young
lady who considered it her bounden duty
to think more of her uncle's establish
ment than any other in the fashionable
South end.
Four or five days ago Miss Adele failed
to appear at the o'clock dinner, and
when a servant went to her room she
was not to be found. Then the alarmed
household searched the premises, and
finally note was discovered in which
she said, "My darling Rudolph patted
the horses so tenderly, and is so pious
that know we will always be happy"
or words to that effect.
They had fled together-the York
State heiress and the Dutch hostler.
On yesterday letter was received from
Liebig asking for forgiveness, and stating
that there was no use of any ones
clicking, or rubbing the hair off," as
he, the hostler, had married the young
lady in Rome, n. Y, where they were
then stopping.

Foreign Fancy Groceries.

1t is probably not generally known,
says Boston paper, what an immense
quantity Of imported fancy groceries,
including pickles, sauces, and condi.
ments, is shipped to this country yearly
and goes into consumption among the
masses. There are annually received in
Boston, from England alone, at least
10000 barrels 1.-THE pickles, sauces, jel-
lies, olives, &C., being put in bottles and
then packed in barrels for shipment) to
say nothing of French fruits, preserves,
wines, DC. London and Dublin ship
large quantities Of ale and porter here,
the quantity footing up annually be
tween $500 and 5000 casks, packed
with this bottled beverage; notwith-
standing the large number of home
breweries, and the sales of foreign ale
and porter have increased very much
the past year
One of the novelties in this line OF
foreign goods is the London crackers,
which are just now having great run.
During the past year more than three
hundred tons Of these fancy crackers.
made up in all shapes, sizes, and de-
signs, have been imported per steamer
from London, and strange as it may app
pear, considerable American -four is
consumed in their manufacture. Flour
made in st. Louis now finds its way
across the water to supply the English
bakers. and comes back to her citizens
in the form of crackers, which are much
sought for all through the West. One
firm in Boston have also imported, dur
ing the past year, nearly 200 casks OF

A Race for Life.

Though a swamp fire is not so bad as
a prairie fire, it is yet formidable
enough, as some Canadian gentlemen
who were laying out the line of rail
road recently found. In the prosecu
ton of their labors, they had penetrated
the Long Swamp about half mile,
when suddenly the attention of Mr..
Tate, one Of the party, was attracted by
loud roaring, as of the approach of a
hurricane. On looking in the direction
whence the sound proceeded, to his
horror he observed fire rushing toward
them at a rapid rate, licking up every
thing in its way and telling large trees
in every direction. Mr.. Tate ordered
q stampede at once, and then began a
race. At the start, the fire was fully 500
yards off; away rushed the whole party,
white men and Indians, scrambling
over logs, through hrush-heaps, tumb.
ling headlong into holes, barking shins,
spraining ankles, scratching hands and
tearing clothes, but not word was spo-
ken, no stopping to look back, or ask.
ing for companions in the rear, but each
one struggling to reach the clearing.
Owing to the denseness of the swamp,
though every muscle was strained, pro-
gress was like walk compared to the
rapid march of the fire. Fortunately.
they reached the clearing in safety, but
not moment too soon, for the fire was
but ten feet behind them when they
emerged from the woods; had they
delayed minute longer before start.
ing the probability is that they would
have lost their lives.-Lindsoy Canada

A Story of Two Lives.

Her name is Leah arborough, and
she lives in Baltimgre. She is colored.
What gives interest to her existenct at
the present time is that she is to be
hanged on Friday next, because she
murdered her infant child when it was
a few DAYS old She contesses her
crime. She says: ~ hadn't no
money nor nobody to say nothin' TO,
an | foun' | could'n keep de chile'-
so she took It's little breath away.
He lives in a handsome brick man
sion with marble trimmings. He is a
merchant, and shows his attractive face
on Change. He votes the Democratic
ticket, and is Mortified at the idea OF
miscegenation. He exclaims indig-
nantly, You'd have my daughter
marry niger, would you ?" The
child was his. The old story. He Sc
duced his ignorant servant girl, then
turned her away and left her penniless
to fight the battle alone.
At present she spends her time in
dark, damp cell, wailing to God in
paroxysms of grief. He spends his time
at the club-though he did remember
her one day last week. He didn't call
on her IN that ulsagreeaOle place, OF
course he didn't send her flowers but
he prevailed upon clergyman to 60
and talk to her about her sins.
Next Friday, Leah, the forsaken,
will 90 to join her little waif through
the terrible gate Of the gallows. H.
will probably be betting on the bay at
a horse race. Oh, yes We are a
profoundly discriminating people, and
we know how to punish crime Chicago

Why They Hate Him.

Mast has been reinforced by Howard.
The latters cartoon in a recent Harper S
Weekly. entitled President Grant, and
Why They Don't Like Him" is worthy
of Mast. In the centre of the sketch is
a full portrait of the President. Around
the central figure are illustrations of
the spirit that inspires the men that are
fiercely attacking the administration.
First is the editor land who will fail to
recognize the picture?) of the Daily
Cal,emniator, who dashes his pen through
a portrait of Grant. " because he won
give me all the best Offices" Next is
the Politician" in one hand having a
package of bonds, and in the other a
bag of gold. A hand grasps his throat
as he is about to run away with the
spoils, and the politician is mad because
"he won't let me steal A bull,
weighed down with gold, is fast in the
stocks, and bellows forth the cry that
He won't let us bull gold" A Ku
Klux, arrested in the act of stringing
up a harmless colored man, opposes
Grant because "he won't let me hang
niggers." " He makes distiller pay
his taxes" and the enmity of the distil-
Ter is secured. He placed his foot on
the rebellion, and snake Kisses out his
hostility" He killed the Copper
heads Two old.time rebels, arrested
in the act of tearing in pieces the Con-
stitution are his opponents, because he
won't let us destroy the Union"
Underneath these illustrations are the
words: "The debt has been dimin.
ished, taxation reduced, the Union re-.
stored, foreign difficulties settled, and
the Government was never so respected
abroad, nor so strong at home.i

clerk if the vouchers for that beef had
been made out, and, being informed
that they had not, he directed the clerk
to make them out at $l3 per barrel. On
the following day he again asked the
clerk if the vouchers were made out,
and on receiving an affirmative answer,
told the clerk to destroy them and

PrecariOus Condition Of Queen Victoria.

European mails, received at New
York on the Goth inst, bring ample
evidence that the condition of Queen
Victoria is more serious than is gener-
ally anticipated. The London Times
grieves to-day that her Majesty has
suflered from a severe and painful at
tack. 1t commenced with grave gen.
eral arrangement of health. This was
followed by violent affection of the
throat, which rendered swallowing or
speaking above whisper very painful
and difficult, and the attack ended in a
very severe abscess under the arm. The
abscess was opened and proved much
larger than anticipated. This, how
ever, does not begin to tell the whole
truth. The Queen is still in imminent
danger. She is suffering from scrofu-
lous disease of very persistent and
malignant nature, and fatal results may
aiise at any moment. When the Queen
is more than usually affected in her
mind, they always send for Lady
Churchill, and that lady is now at Bal.

GERMAN TORPEDO BoATs.-The Brom-
berg Gazette announces from DantsIc
that three " torpedo boats,' for bring
ing torpedoes to an enemys ship, are
now being built there for the German
fleet. The boats are built almost en-.
tirely of iron; there is hardly a cubic
inch of wood about them. They arc in
the shape of a fish, sixty feet long, and
from six to seven feet wide. The deck
is convex, so as to ward off hostile pro.
Jectiles. During the operation no hu-
man being is of course to be seen on
board. They are steered, not at the
stern, but in the fore part of the vessel,
and above the rudder there is a slight
elevation on the deck TO enable the
steersman to stand up, in which there
is an opening an inch wide for him to
look through. The iron plates used for
these boats are very thick. They are
propelled by a screw, and their engines
are heated by petroleum, which is kept
in bunkers at the back of the boiler. In
the middle of the boat is sort of cabin,
where the men who are to place them
in position remain concealed.
