Secrets Of the Sanctunis .

The yhumorist Of the Detroit FREQ
Press observes that there is always one
vacant chair in the sanctun)'of every
daily paper, or it would be vacated for
the right man. It is the position OF
''really -very- good butswe-havea't
for-it, = man. ~ When Q young man AZ wear
ing a very exultant countenance,, walks
into the editorial rooms with d bundle
of manuscript under his arm, all the
staff know what is coming. He has
been writing an ode to spring, or d
poem on the fast disappearing Indian
race, or five hundred Verses on the
power of love: II is really wonderful 4
how sang1ine he lis is; q he has selected
this particular paper as q great favor TO
the paper, and he is certain the publish
ers WON'T think,of Offering him less than
n dollar 0. verse, and that after they
have handed him the money they will
pat him on the back and say: SEQ on,
young man, there isaiwealth Of laurels
for you in the future. Hewalks around
the room few times to collect himself,
and then goes for the nearest man. He
is referred to "the manIrin the other
room," and the man in the other room
heaves sigh as be sees him enter.
"Here's few verses on sspringtime
which I dashed off the other day." says
the yodng man, DIS he deposits the roll
on the table; g You can look them oyer,
and I will cali fof the money Saturday, "
He goes ont, and the recipient Of the
roll unrolls it, feels his hair raise up as
he sees that some lines have ten feet, !"
others six, and that pile-driver could
not pound the metre into shape. He
puts it away and begins to- dread Sat-
lirday. Saturday comes, and with it
the young man, who expects check
md q compliment ~ He sits down, and
there is long pause, The editor would
rather tackle a. Bogardus kicker than to
say what he amust SAY, but he finally
gets around to it.. .."Y Very good-sea-
sonable-well written-but ali i-ahem
we haven't room for IL Iiustlat present |;
you'd better send it to the New York
Poet" That young man gets up with
an awful look of contempt and revenge
on his face, seizes the roll, and goes out
feeling that he shall bean enemy of the
paper, the editors, reporters, compost
tors, and apprentices forever after.
This is only an illustrative case. There
is the woman who has written nineteen
verses on her dead baby; the old maid
who has hashed up a Ballad and wants
to be brought out as the author, :, the
young man. in love who has written d
poem on his Hannah, and five or six

GREATEST CROP OF THE WORLD.

Aquestion widely discussed Involves the rela-
tive value of the wheat, cotton, ten and hay
crops of the world. Which of these crops EN-
pioys the greatest amount Of the worlds capi-
tai? 1t is said that hay leads the rest, and
the items that enter into account as stated are
somewhat startling, and will make Grangsr's
hair stand on end Cotton and tea are local
world over, and thus the hay crop greatly out
weighs either Of the other two. The aggre-
gate reported value Of all farm products of
1870 was $o,4l7, ,53S, ,65s; but as this includes
addition 10 stocks, 'betterments, &c, it is
probably too high Now the hay crop for that
year-that is the grass dried and cured for
use or sold is reported at over 81, ,O00, 900 tons
This at half the selling pric. in the large cities,
would amount to $4O5 900 900, and is far
greater than the aggregate home value of the
cotton crop or any other crop. The other por-
tion Is used on the ground, aud it requires
considerable calculation to get at the value so
used even In the toughest way.
In the first place live stock, including horned
cattle, horses, sheep, swine, &c, to the value
OF 81 ,635, 900, 900, were fed from it that year.
Averag ing the lives of these at five years We
have one-ffth of that sum as representing the
grass fed to them in 1870, namely, $3O5, 800
900; next We fud the value of the animals
slaughtered for food in that year to be $780,
100000, and as this is an annual product, the
whole oft for the present will be credited to
the grass crop of 1870 as 5l4,OOO,0OO pounds,
which at the average of 25 cents, amounts to
$l28,0O0, 900 aud this goes to the credit Of
grass; next we have 235, 100000 gallons Of
milk, which averaged at the low estate of 10
cents per gallon, adds So, 600 more to the
credit of the grass crop; then We have lO0,-
100000 pounds of wool at 25 cents a pound,
adding, $25, 900, 600 more aud finally 53,OO0,-
600 pounds of cheese at 10 cents adding over
grass crop of 1870, which aggregates $685., ,0oO,-
