EIGHTEEN MILLIONS OF AcREs.-We COM
mend the following from the New York Even
ing Post of January Oath to the attention of
politicians of this State:
As the days of the present Congress he
come fewer, the land-grabbers and subsidy
beggars grow more urgent, and probably moro
anxious, for what they do not get now they
will not get at all. The new Congress was
elected upon platforms which, 10 the great
majority of cases, denounced all subsidies
and land grants and it's members will pro-
badly show no favor to the selfish schemes
which are pressed upon this Congress.
Eighteen millions of acres were asked for in
the House yesterday. and it was not good
day for land7grabbing either. Only few
days ago the subsidy schemes had their turn,
and in q single morning hour had the cour-
age to ask Congress for something like twen-
ty millions of dollars. Congressman are
aware that the people have their eyes upon
this abuse, and will not tolerate it. Proha-
bly, no vote is ''safern to-day, for a member
of Congress to give, 20 far as his standing ct
home is concerned. than q vote against land
grant or subsidy bill.

that the gun would go off in case he came up

South Carolina q per cent, that of Georgia

has fallen off in Connecticut, Rhode Island,

from returns and notes from Z ,494 counties

This is enormous crop. but it muet be con-

FALLEN FRANcE.-The New York World
pays the following Just and well-deserved COM
pliment to the French Republic, which, we
fear, must succumb to the corquering hosts Of
the imperial invader:
"There was never nobler spectacle of he
roc resistance than the French nation have
exhibited since the capture of Napoleon.
They have failed only because it is not with
in the compass of human endeavor to achieve
impossibilities. But they have done Won
ders. The republic started under greater
disadvantages than would have attended the
empire if it had begun this war without any
army or any military preparation, and with
out fortresses on the German frontier. All
the Continental nations maintain great stand
ing armies and kept their frontiers strong
ly fortified and guarded, as Indispensable
means of national safety; but when the repnb-
tic began it had neither fortresses on the from
tier nor armies in the field. With o vctori-
Gus enemy on its soil commanding mighty
hosts of perfectly EQUIPPED soldiers, the repub
lie had everythi to create. And yet it has
cost Germany twice as much time and effort,
and thrice as many lives, to su5due the ex-
temporized unprepared republic, as it did TO
destroy the empire which felt itself strong
enough in preparation to declare an aggressive
war A splendid example of the energy and
resources of freedom France has lost rauch;
but she has saved her honor. No French
man ever need blush for the patriotism of his
nation ia the terrible peris and trials through
which it has been passing. If merit, and
not fortune, had determined the result,
France would have been saved. IF our coun-
try should ever be invaded, may we emulate
the indomitable self--sacrifeinv heroism
which has shone forth with such lustre under
the French republic
Surrender now will bring no humiliation,
and the warmest admirers of French patriot
ism desire that it may be no longer delayed.
1t might have been deemed pusillahimous
while there remand the least glimmer of
hope but all hope has departed. and a
speedy end should be put to unavailing suf-
fering and useless destruction of property.
Every generous sensibility goes out in SYM
pathy for the rrcstrate nation, and even a
brave enemy will refrain from exulting over
her misfortunes."

In paper read before the Ohio State Board
of Agriculture, on fruit and the insects that
work so great damage to most of the fruits,
by DR.. Warder, he said he would plant ap-
ple-trees at less distance apart than is usual.
in order that the trees might completely oc-
cupy and shade the ground. and when the
trees have grown so as TO interace their
branches, he would cut away one-half of their
number. Land for an orchard should he
