The Wheat Crop.

The following il a summary of the condition
of the winter wheat, issued from the Agricul-
tural Department On the first week of April
a considerable portion of the northern belt Of
the winter wheat area was covered with snow.
The condition of that visible gave promise of
general exemption from winter injury, leaving
the crop subject to the meteorological vicissi-
tudes of April In the middle States, a great
Improvement upon the showing of last spring
is everywhere conceded, especially in New Jer
sey and Pennsylvania. The prospect of the
States south of Maryland is less favorable
than last year, and there are indications Of q
diminishing area in tho cotton States although
the acreage il not intended to be given in this
report. Michigan the only State in the
northern border in which winter wheat il
mainly grown, presents green and vigorous
growth where the snow has disappeared to re-
veal it, and Ohio makes far more favorable re-
turns than last year.
In Kentucky, more checkered showing III
made, giving the present appearance de-
cidedly unfavorable cast, with indications Of
future Improvement rs the weather becomes
settled. In Indiana and Illinois, the unfavor-
able return outnumbered the rose-colored
The dry autumn retarded seeding and germl-
nation, and left the plants too weak and shall
low-rooted to endure well the effects of the
winters change of temperature. Similar
causes affect the condition Of wheat in Mis-
souri,, but great improvement over last year
is reported, and still more favorable con-
dtion exists in Kansas. In Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, and Nebraska, al far as known.
very little winter wheat il produced. but full
reports are given of such experiments. The
Indications from California all point to an
other year of great abundance, scarcely a
county reporting an unfavorable condition.
Az whole, the wheat prospect at the close Of
the winter is more favorable than at the same
date i'm 1872

A New Account Of the Burr.HamiltOn
Duel

The Hartford COurant publishes the
following interesting extract from the
advance sheets of an account OF the
life of James Williams, the old negro
janitor of Trinity College:
PROF. Jim was the slave of Col.
hobart, retired Revolutionary officer,
living in Yonkers, n. Y. Aaron Burr
was frequent visitor at Col. Ro-
ready for him, as he might stop at any
time on his way from Albany to New
York and back again. The establish
ment of Burr seems to have made a
strong impression on Prof. Jim's mind,
and he describes with admiring tones
the enormous carriage drawn by six
horses. and the retinue of outriders and
footmen which always accompanied him.
Burr himself Jim describes as a short,
rough and ugly man, who swore and
cursed constantly, but who in ladies'
society was very polite and exquisite.
At the time of the duel between Burr
and Hamilton, Jim was at work in the
fields at mail time, and his mother was
sent on horseback for the batch of pa
pers which was due. She gave the let
tiers to her master, and he had scarcely
read the first one he had opened, when,
all hurry and excitement, he shouted.
Get room ready quick, for that little
devil is coming! When afterward he
learned that Hamilton had been killed
in the duel the excitement only in
creased.
"Now Jim says Burr went first to
his own home in New York, near the old
State Prison, on West Broadway. The
next day, between and in the after
noon, as we were putting up a new yard
fence, there appeared great cloud OF
dust away down the road. Some one
said that it was somebody riding, for
the day was so quiet it could not be the
wind. BY and by man came up and
gave note to master, and said he was
coming. Pretty soon he came up him
self in his four-horse coach. His head
was bowed down, and he didn't say
word; but then his head was always
bowed down. He caught right hold of
my masters hand and they went into
the house, and we didn't see him again
till the next evening. The day that
Hamilton was buried was a bad day for
him, and he didn't eat any dinner nor
go out for his walk along the river, but
he walked to and fro along the corridor
up stairs, with his hands behind him.
We could hear the funeral guns sound
ing up from New York. Burr kept his
servant in the room with him night and
day, and he had case of pistols and a
sword in his room with him. He stayed
with my master some time, and prac-
ticed good deal at target shooting
down by the river bank, and l, myself,
have seen white birch tree, where he
had shot twelve balls into space no
larger than my hand. >"

A Spirit Child.

There's a school-marm down East,
who has phantom scholar, you've all
heard about. But Southern lady was
in this city last week who has spirit
baby. Four months ago she lost child
of five months. She is delicate, fragile
creature, and the loss of her baby nearly
killed her. Four days after the little
creatures death. and just ut dusk, she
became aware of something pulling at
her dress, and there was her little baby
back upon her bosom. From that time
to this the baby comes back to be nursed
as the evening shadows fall. She can
not see it., but she feels its little hands
padding about, as a baby's will, and
those around her can see her dress dis
arranged, her collar pulled, and the in
dentatlons on her bosom made by the
invisible fingers of the spirit baby. Her
physician is staggered. There is no al
teration in her physical condition ;
everything goes on as if she was nour-
fishing living child. The lady is not n
spiritualist, is excessively refined and
aristocratic, and she shrinks from max
ing the phenomena public, but every
night she cradles in her arms her intan-
gible baby. She feels it's unseen mouth
warm against her, and she bends with
bitter tears above the invisible little
visitant. 1t is not desirable posses
sion, and should advise her to wean it
as soon as possible. -New York Letter.

his removal. 1t is openly charged that he was
cognizant of tho exactions. The Vienna
Presse alleges that large sums were paid to the
suspended Commissioners before leaving
America, by number Of large firms, for va
rious concessions. The money was accepted
on pretext of q subscription for erection OF a
model school-house, and the Presse ironically
remarks: "They thus exhibit tho fruits OF
that institution" 1t mentions that two res
taurant-keepers, Germans, paid each Sl,Ooo
for the school-house. The new Commission
ers, who are better mon in every respect, have
