Extraordinary Yield Of Corn.

Mr. John W. Murry, of Carroll County,
Maryland, reports in the Westminster Advo<

raised 304 barrels (l524 busbels) of shelled
corn. The reported culture was as follows:
The land was SO situated that it received tho
wnshings from the road and from his barns

In the spring Of 1872 he pIowed it Ond plants

plowed the corn.stubble ground very deep,
and narrowed and rolled il. The next day

rowed it again, marked it of 32 inches one

THE GREAT DANGER FROM MINISTER'S

The establishment Of such relations
between a pastor and his flock as shall
secure for him that intimacy which
ought to exist only in the domestic
circle is an evil Of fearful tendency
and unspeakable danger. Ministers
are censurable in high degree who en-
courage their people, men or women,
to come to them with family matters
or secret sores. Some men are them
selves gossips, and delight to get and
give all they can of social news, and
the more secret the richer the prize.
They encourage revelations when their
ears should be deaf to everything ap-
preaching to scandal. All judicious
pastors discourage familiarity on the
part of their people especially of the
female denomination.
For this way lies the danger. A
silly woman, pious perhaps, but very
soft and shallow, hears the stirring
words of her eloquent pastor, is reused,
warmed, soothed, exalted-she thinks
edifed-and straightway she believes
him to be the man sent to do her good.
She goes to his study to tell him so;
how much enjoyment she finds in his
words; or she writes him a letter and
pours out her little soul full of twad-
die about her gratitude for what her
dear partor has done for her; how she
sis lifted up" by his instructions how
she loves him as a friend given to be
her guide and comfort and SO on,
and so on, more and worse, running
into a mawkish sertimentality, sick.
ening man-worship, disgusting to every
sensible person, but very nectar to a
vain, worldly preacher, who seeks only
to make his hearers "feel good" Such
people never go to their pastor to ask
"what they must do to be saved" It
is to tell them how good they feel
how he is "exalting" them, ''filling
them with joy, peace and love-" We
cannot go into particulars without
offending the tastes of every reader.
We make our meaning plain. We
wish to be understood as saying that
what worldly preachers and sentimen-
tai women call Communion of soul"
and kindred spirits" mutual help"
and "holy sympathy" and words in
the same strain, is not religion-it is
not even religious 1t is of the earth
earthly. 1t is "carnal, conceived in
SIM" 1t is simply the lower nature,
the human passion OF one creature to-
ward another. God is not in it.

The Importance of the comma is
shown in this item, which has been 60.
ing the rounds tor some time "a
country debating club is now strug-
Cling with the question, which eats
most chickens, ministers or owls ?'".
An exchange. in copying this, puts
the comma after "most," which, it will
be observed, materially alters the
sense.
One of the most important acts
parsed by the last Legislature provides
that no stay of execution shall be al
lowed on any judgment for one hun.
dred dollars or less, when the same has
been recovered for wages for manual
labor. This act was approved by the
Governor on March 18th, and conse-
quently is now in force.
Naturally enough they don't like
paper money at Gold Hill, Nevada,
and the newspaper there is savage up
on "the very bad and dirty notes of
the National Banks which have been
in circulation long enough to. cover
them with CRIME and make them un-
wholesome to look at and unhealthy
to handle"
The pale, sad-looking young men
whom one occasionally meets in the
street are not consumptive, are not
mourning the loss of friend, and are
not divinity students. They are
breaking in tight boots.
We often hear of people who are
too poor to marry, but a California
couple, who had been engaged for some
time, married because they could not
afford to keep two separate rooms in a
boarding house.
M. Adolphe Levy, an operator on
the Paris Brouse, has Jumped" as
they say there, with 1900, 900 francs,
or $5O0,OO0 and over. They jump bet
ter with a good weight in hand.
At recent marriage ceremony at
Lexington, East Sussex, England, the
wedding ring was placed on the third
toe of the brides left foot-because
she had no hands.
A story is going the rounds of a
lady who wears hustle made of rail
road bonds. The husband of such a
creature ought TO be pacific male.
A Kentucky farmer says that three
bull dogs roaming the yard at night
will do more to keep a man honest
than all the talking in the world.
The Sehoolmen of the Evening Star
thus sharpen an old saw: "The young
man.who-parts- his-hair-in the-middle
and his money are soon parted"
A lady barber has been driven out
of Dubuque by the married ladies of
that place. The latter thought she
seraped acquaintance too easily.
1t is considered pretty well-settled
fact that death has no terrors for the
man who marries a woman after thir-
ty years courtship of her.
The woman who writes the addresses
of the letters "catticornered" is the
especial tormentor of postoffice clerks.
The majority against the new Con-

good work of reformation. At meeting held
