AGRICUL TURAL REPORT.

The report of the Department of Agricul-
ture for October says the influence of drought
and of the unusual low temperature of Sep
TENDER has been unfavorable to the ripening
of fruits and to the maturing of corn and other
crops. No general or serious damage has re-
suited to corn, large portion of the crop be-
ing well advanced by the high temperature of
August before the frost appeared. The
drought of midsummer has been almost I'M
broken in the West up to the time of these
returns, interfering greatly with the seeding
of grain, and with the termination and growth
of what the farmers have been able to plant.
The present condition of corn expressed as
per centage, 100 representing good crop,
is as follows About an average in New
Hampshier of Ill in Massachusetts, of l03 !;
in Rhode Island of 10l in Connecticut of los
in New Jersey of 102; in Delaware of los
in Maryland of 1903; in Arkansas of l02; in
Missouri of ll2; in Ohio of l06 in Wiscon-
sin of 10S; in Minnesota of ITO; in Iowa of
ia; in Kansas of 1l9; and in Nebraska OF
1l2.
The product of wheat, as calculated from
county estimates, appears to be about seven
per cent less than last year. The percentage
of last years crop in the several States is as
follows Maine, 7S; New Hampshier, LOG
Vermont, "a; Massachusetts, 104; Connect
cut, 100; New York, 109; New Jersey, l09
Pennsylvania, 1873; Delaware, 100; Mary
land, 100; Virginia. So; North Carolina, 65
South Carolina, 90; Georgia, Is; Alabama,
II; Mississippi, Sc; Texas, 80; Arkansas,
So; Tennessee, 60; West Virginia, l03; Ken.
lucky, 70; Missouri, lO2; Illinois, 50; Indi-
ana, 80; Ohio. 80; Michigan. ITO; Wiscon.
sin, 80; Minnesota, rs; Iowa, 30; Kansas,
ll3; Nebraska, 90; California, 90 Oregon,
lol. The quality is generally superior. II
is placed above an average in all the Western
States except Kentucky, Iowa and Nebraska.
The product of oats will be about as large
as the crop of last year. AS whole the
quality of barley may be said to be fully me-
dunn, and the quantity very nearly an aver
age. The buckwbeat crop is comparatively q
poor one, the average condition being low in
nearly all the States. The potato crop falls
below an average. The number of beeves
reported is greater than usual in most Of the
the States. Texas reports q reduction of 81
per cent from last year; Kentucky, 2; Hi
nois, 2; Indiana, q; California, 8.

The Savannah "News" quotes and approves
an article in the Baltimore Gazette as forcbly
expressing its own views of the "reprehensi-
BILE folly of the so-called new departure pro-
gramme." All such ultra-democratic southern
journals agree in their unwillingness to accept
the result of the war. But the Gazette has
more cold comfort for the northern democrats.
For instance after an account of the "new
departure" and as device to lure disaffected
republicans from the ranks of their own party,
it asserts that in the elections in Maine, Cali
fornia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa, the most
prominent plank in the democratic platform
was the new departure, and that sin every
one of the States enumerated the democrats
have been ANONYMOUSLY defeated, losing posi-
tive strength where they had any," Further
on the elections are styled "Sedan defeats"
severe and painful lessons" while the new
departure is styled ga fatal departure from
truth and honesty"

the institution on this continent and the islands

The murderer Wilson's shoes have been

Pope Plus IN, during his Pontificate of
quarter of a century, has outlived nearly all
the hundred cardinals who assisted at his ac
cession to the chair of Saint Peter. Only
nine survive whose hats were given them by
his predecessor, and the youngest Of these is
seyenty-five years of age. Twenty-Five Car
dinals' hats have now no wearers.
Professor Gray's famous theory that great
fires always produce heavy rains has received
a strong confirmation in recent events. The
burning of Chicago on Monday was followed
by heavy rains on Tuesday morning, which
stopped the flames; and now the frightful
fires in Wisconsin are extinguished by copi-
Gus showers, the first fall Of rain there for
more than two months.
Here is the way they do in Mexico. Two
gentlemen of the highest rank in society meet
in the evening in the street. ''What o'clock

other stops, draws out his revolver and covers
his interlocutor, then draws out his watch
and gives the desired information. Number
one thanks number, two, without the least
surprise at the precaution."

The people of Nevada need a society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals and
several other civilizing agencies. Late Vir-
GINA City papers give accounts of the newest
amusement of that place-namely, a fight be-
tween two wild cats and like number of bull
dogs, which recently took place at the opera
house. This disgusting spectacle was wit
messed by large audience composed mostly
of men. Upon the stage was placed a large
cage, twelve feet wide, len feet deep, and ten
feet high, well illuminated with gas. The
first bulldog despatched the first wild cat, but
quailed before the second, whereupon a
second dog was introduced, which killed the
cat. 1t is hardly possible to realize that such
a brutal exhibition should be allowed in this
civilized country. 1t has been the popular
opinion for long while that Spain was the
only nation in Christendom which encouraged
such displays, but that country will be forced
to yield the palm to Nevada.

AREGENCY IN ENGLAND.

The rumors that the appointment OF
Regent in England is in contemplation
have been confirmed by the bringing OF
the subject before recent meeting OF the
British Cabinet. There can be no doubt
that the reports of Queen Victoria's inca
pacity to discharge the duties OF Sovereign
are well founded The hereditary faint of
insanity has manifested itself in her so
that she is untitled for her position. No
doubt the reality has been kept in the
background as long as possible, for Victo-
ria has the esteem of her people and eoun-
sellers, who are reluctant to accept the
idea of regent, and particularly such
one as the Prince of Wales promises to be.
According to the dispatches the queen Is
not inclined to yield the power she holds,
but of course she cannot retain it under
the pressure that will be brought to bear
upon her. Some time will occur before
the change can be regularly brought about
but the issue is certain. There must be
medical evidence taken of the mental in
capacity of the Queen, and then the mat
ter must be discussed, acted upon, and
settled in Parliament. In the case of the
appointment of regent for George III, it
required more than two years from the
commencement of the agitation of the
question until it was settled by the estab-
lishment Of regency, although the King
was SO blind and insane that at last he
could not sign his name. There will be
general feeling of regret at the necessity
which compels the retirement of Queen
Victoria She has cast her influence in IA
vor of good government and humane
jects and the respect of the world.

The original "new departure" of the de-
mocracy having signally failed, another is Sc
riously proposed in some of the democratic
papers. The first ''new departure" consisted
in ratifying republican principles. The Sec
oad, as now suggested, consists in nominal.
ing republican candidate for the Presidency
After that there will remain only one ''posi-
sibIe s.new departure" for the democracy
which might as well be taken first as last
and that will be a complete departure over in
to the republican ranks.-AlJany Journal

TRUST WHAT TIME HAS SANCTION
ED.-The maxim that the yoice of the people
is the voice Of the divinity, may, in some
cases, BIO open to doubt, but tho testimony of
honest and enlightened witnesses extending
through a series or years, and all to the samo
purport, is worthy of crcdence admits Of no
question. Upon such testimony the rcputa-
ton OF Hosteitcr's Stomach Bittcrs as an
antidote and cure for many ailments is based.
During tho twenty years that it has been be-
fore tho world, innumcrablo preparations in
tended to compete with it have gone up like
rockets, and como down the cxtinguished d
| sticks. Meanwhile, tho progress OF that in
comparable tonic has been swift and steady
always upward and onward like the eagie's
flight. It's introduction produced a revolution
in therapeutics, and 1t proved to be one of
those salutary revolutions that cannot 20
backwards. To-day Hostctters Bitters is one
OF tho most popular remedies in Christen-
dom, and commands larger sale than any
other medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, on this side of the Atlantic. AS a
cure for dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous
affections, general debility, and as a prevent
i've OF epidemic fevers, it takes precedence of
every other remedy. This fact should teach
the ambitious country dealers who endeavor
to fclst their local abortions on the public in
| lts stead, how futilo their small attempts to
caJole the community must necessarily be-.

QUrTE A REVOLUTION. The people of
the North are beginning to find out that
States rights are not dead, but, on tho
contrary, the livest of all live issues in
the great battle for the preservation of
constitutional liberty. Gov. Hoffman,
OF New York. protests vigorously against
the interference of the Federal Govern
ment in the affairs of the Empire State
Gov. Geary, Radical Governor of Penn
sylvania, is quite abreast of Hoffman in
this respect. And now we have, by tele-
graph, q report of Hon. Charles Francis
Adams letter to the Jackson Association
of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in which
that distinguished statesman advocates a
"return to first principles" in our Co
vernment, which must mean, if it means
anything at all, return to States rights
and the annihilation of centralism as ex-
pounded by Congress and President
Grant. Verify the world moves.

a New York letter says: "The num-

a, New York letter, says: s.The num-
Der of men ont Of employment is i'm
mense, and hundreds are added to it
weekly. At the door of Cooper Insti-
tute reading-room. the other day, several
men, evidently of the working class,
stood talking. Said one: II have not
earned dollar in three months An
other said: IT is just as bad with me;
can't get work anywhere A third
could not stay at home it4was so cold, so
he came to the reading-room every day
to keep warm. This was the drift of the
conversation. Within the reading-room
there were probably 300 men, from twen-
ty:fve to sixty. all out of work, and try
ing to kill time. And they looked like
men willing enough to work, if tLey
could find work to do. Only those who
go among the poor have any real know
ledge of the distress among the working
Glasses. 1t may not be greater than in
previous winters, but certainly it is not
less. The aid societies are run down
with applicants for assistance. All the
relief provided is bitterly needed"
