The Cron Report.

The monthly report of the De
partment of Agriculture, which will
soon be issued, contains the follow
ing information concerning the
crops:
CoRN-The condition of corn, as
reported in the August returns, was
high except in the Southern States,
and the reports for September in
the Eastern States are equally ia
vorable still more favorable in the
States beyond the Mississippi and
Missouri, and somewhat less so in
in the Ohio Valley. The States be-
low an average in the corn producing
districts are Kentucky, 85 per cent. f;
Ohio SO; Michigan SO, Indiana 81;
Illinois 95. Those above the aver
age are Wisconsin, 100 per cent.
Minnesota, 1OS, Kansas 115, Iowa
113; Missouri 1OS; Nebraska 112.
Wharf.-The wheat reports are
far less favorable than the returns ot
the spring and early summer, sum
mer, except as far as relates to the
Middle States. The condition Of
wheat at the time Of harvesting ii
thus stated: Above the average
New Hampshire, 104; Massachusetts
1O1; New York 102; New Jersey
ITO; Pennsylvania 107; Maryland
1O2; Michigan LOG. Below the av-
erage Maine 95; Vermont, SO; Del

Indiana, 81; Ohio, SO; Wisconsin
| l94; Minnesota, 80; Iowa,90; Kansas
9S; Nebraska, 80; California, IS
Oregan, 95. The amount grown in
the South is small, but the low con
dition there will affect the supply
but little. The depreciation is about
10 per cent. in the West, which vii
be partially Offset IN Kentucky by
the increased area.
Barley-Barley is reported in con
dition below the average, except IL
a few States.
Observation-Disclosures is less IL
quantity than usual.
Rye-Rye is nearly an average
lcrop.
Hay-Hay is reported greatly re
duced in quantity, but is Of excel
lent quality.
PotaSoes-Potatoes are nearly 8

MARBLE OR DUST.

BY MRS. S. N. B. PLATT.
A child, besids statue, said to me,
With pretty wisdom very sadly just,
''That man is Mr.. Lincoln, mamma. He
Was made of marble; we are made of dust"
One fash of passionate sorrow trembled
through
The dust of which had been dimly made,
One fierce, quick wish to be of marble too
Not something meaner, that must fall and
fade.
NTo be forever fair and still and cOld,"
family thought, with faint tears in my
sight,
''TO stand thus face to face with Time, and
hold
Between as that uncrumbling charm OF
white;
To see the creatures formed of slighter stuff
Waver in Iittls dead-leaf whirs away,
Yet know that could wait and have enough
Enough of frost and dew, of dark and day
would be marbleP WhereforeP Just to miss
The tremors of glad pain that dust must
know?
The grief that settles after some dead kiss9
The frOwn that was not long agoP
Do I forget the stones long Ioniness?
The dumb impotence all wan watching
brings?
The looking with blind eyes, in vague distress,
For Christ's slow coming and the End of
Things?
No, boy of mine, with your young yellow hair,
Better the dust which you scatter with your
feet
Than marble, which can see not you are fair
Than marble, which can feel not you are

Ay, or than marble which mnst meet the

Without my light relief of numerous breath;
Without the bitter sweetness of my tears
Without the love which dust must have fol

"The workmen engaged in open
ing way for the projected railway
between Weldon and Garysburg,
struck on Monday, about one mile
from the former place, in bank be-
side the river, a catacomb of skele-
tons, supposed to be those of Indians
of a remote age and lost and for
gotten race. The bodies exhumed
were so strange and remarkable for
nation. The skulls were nearly an
Inch in thickness; the teeth were
filed sharp, as are those Of canibals,
the enamel perfectly preserved; the
bones were of wonderful length and
lstrength-the fem1r being as long
as the leg of an ordinary man, the
staure of the body being, probably,
as great as eight or nine feet. Neal
their heads were sharp stone arrows
stone mortars in which their corn
was brayed, and the bowls of pipes
apparently of soft friable soapstone.
The teeth of the skeletons are said
to be as large as those Of horses
One of them has been brought tC
the city, and presented to an Officer
of the Petersburg Railroad. The
bodies were found closely packed
together, laid tier on tire, as it seem

About an Elephant.

Walter had been to the circus; and
there, for the first time in his life, he
saw an elephant. He gave him an
apple to eat; and the great beast put
out his long trunk and took it into
his mouth as quickly as Walter
could have slipped a huckleberry
into his own.
Then Walter and his sister Mary
went up ladder, and got on the ami
mails back, and had a ride. They
were delighted with its cleverness; F.;
and, when they came home; they
made their father tell them what he
knew about the animal.
'Do you know what an elephant
once did to tailor?" asked papa.
No; they did not know. "Well, one
day, in a city Of Asia, where ele-
plants are led through the streets,
one of these animals put his trunk in
at the window of a tailor's shop, and
the tailor pricked the poor beasts
trunk with a needle.
"Some weeks afterwards, as the
same elephant was going by the
same shop, he stopped, and drew up
a quantity of dirty water from pud-
die into his trunk, and spirited it all
over the poor tailor, who was sitting
cross-legged on his bench. Was he
not well punished?
"There was an elephant once in
France who did not want to be
laughed at. To man who had de-
ceived him by pretending to throw
something into his throat, he gave
such blow with his trunk, that it
threw the man down, and broke two
ribs.
SIN one of our American cities, a
few years ago, an elephant was ex-
hibited, who had great fondness
for a dog. Some men who wanted
to tease the elephant used to amuse
themselves by pulling the ears Of
the dog, and making it bark.
zone day, when they were in q
barn, where the elephant was sepa-
rated from them by a partition Of
boards, the men teased the dog bad
lv; whereupon the elephant knocked
down the partition with two blows
of his trunk, and drove the men off
''In India, a mother used to leave
her infant child to the care Of an ele
phant. When the child strayed of
too far, the elephant would put out
his trunk, and gently bring the little
thing back.
"Once, in a collection Of wilC
beasts, the tigress broke out of hel
cage, and bounded after the keeper
to kill him. The keeper ran to the
elephant, and told him to put him OF
his back. This the elephant die
with one toss of his trunk.
"The tigress was in rage at see
ing the man thus put out of hi
reach. She drew back, and made
another spring at him; but the ele
phant caught her midway, and hurl
ed her with great force against th
wall. Bruised and humbled, sh
gave up the fight after this, anr
skunk back quietly into her cage
without any more mischief. .'-Ih

The Oldest Man.

For some time past the New York papers
have annually commemorated the birthday of
Captain Lahrbush, veteran of the Napoeonic
wars, who now lives in that city at the age of
one hundred and four years. His extreme lon
gevity, in connection with the facts that he still
retains perfectly all his faculties and drinks
daily about pint of laudanum, more or less, is
thought worthy Of annual mention. A man
died last Saturday in Kansas City, in compare
son with whom Captain Lahrbush is but
youngster, who may yet abandon opium eating,
as one of the foles of his youth, and become
an exemplary, as he is now in many respects an
estimable, member of society. Jacob Journals
was probably the oldest man living He was
entered on the census roll last year as one
hundred and thirty-four years old, which is as
near as his age could be fixed by the best evil
dence attainabe.
He was born in Canada, of French ancestry,
and has been, during great part of his life, a
hunter and trapper. According to his own story
he was working in the woods on a piece of land
he had bought for himself, near Quebec, when
Wolfe was killed on the plains of Abraham.
This was September 14th, 1859, and from what
he remembers of his life before that time, he
must then have been more than twenty-one
years old. 1t was suggested that he might
have COMPOUNDED Wolfe with Montgomery, who
was also killed in an attack upon Quebec, but
sixteen years later, in 1775; he was closely ques-
toned, but his memory Of names and incidents
was too distinct TO leave any doubt.
Many years later, from 1903 to 1907, he accom-
panied Lewis and Clark in their celebrated ex-
ploration of the northwestern territory, when
the continent was, for the first time by white
men, crossed from ocean to ocean. Later still.
he went down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers,
from Pittsburg to New Orleans, in a fat-boat.
arriving in the latter city just in time TO be
present at its defense by General jackson
against the British in 1914, when, as he often
told with great glee, he was rejected as volun-
teer because he was TOO old, about eighty years.
He was employed, however, by the American
fur company as trapper for nearly thirty years
after that time. He was never sick, and was
able to walk about his room within a
few minutes of his death, but his men,
tai aud bodily powers had been gradually
failing for several years. He was by no means
imbecile, however, and could converse intelli-
gently and remember clearly the events of his
youth, and took care of his little patch of to
baceo plants and cabbages almost 10 the day OF
his death. He had smoked tobacco habtually
from his youth How much longer he would
have lived without this habit perhaps Mr.. Trask
can tell us. These statements in regard to this
remarkable man we have reason to believe are
substantially correct.

One of the things which made the strongest
impressions upon early travellers by the Pacific
railroad, especially while it was yet unfinished.
was the depravity of the population that inhab-
tied the canvas cities which grew up at every
important station on the line. Eastern people
gazed with establishment and disgust, not un-
mingled with apprehension, at the coarse and
brutal rnffians who staggered about, drunken,
blasphemous and insolent. Horse thieves mail
robbers, burglars, highwaymen and gamblers
were numerous enough to give tone to the
society Of these portable cities. The female
members of the communities were fit associates
for their masculine companions. The prosper
Gus business establishments were the bagnios
the gambling dens and the rumshops arms were
worn by everybody and used on very slight PROV
ocation; murders were common, and summary
executions by order of Judge Lynch, though
not intreqnent might, ii seemed, have taken
place much oitener with great advantage to the
public. One Of these places was aptly described
in the expressive dialect there current by
phrase equally applicable to all of them, as
"Hell on wheels" The Northern Pacific road
was threatened with just such an invasion of
rascals. The advance guard had already occu-

A ST. LANDRY RANcHE.-The following is
from the opelousas Journal 1T is said that
Mr.. Lastie Dupre, of this parish, owns about
twenty thousand head of cattle, ranging over
the greater part of Southwestern Louisiana
from Bayou Teche on the east to the Sabine
river on the west, and from Bayou Chicot on the
north TO the Gulf on the south. His principal
yacherie is on the Bayou Nezpique, about thirty
or more miles west Of Opeloutas, on the line
between this parish and Calcaseu. His agent
or stock-keeper, residing at this yacherie, is a
colored man, who has been in his employ for
many years, and in whose honesty and ability
he has implicit confidence. The colored man is
said 10 be worth about fifteen thousand dollars,
made in Mr.. Dupre's service.
From this stock of cattle between two and
three thousand calves are branded every year.
The stock-keeper is compensated for his services
at the rate of fifty cents in silver for each calf
branded; and this is the greatest or only ex-
pense incurred in raising the cattle. The entire
stock are not worth less than two hundred
thousand dollars. The annual revenue derived
from the yearly increase cannot be less than
fifteen thousand dollars clear of all expenses =
il is probably much more"
