CROPS AND BUSINESS s-While the eff
fects of the long continued depressions
following the panic of last September
are yet very apparent, the accounts
from very different quarters begin to
record gradual improvement in bust
ness circles. The great requisite for an
active and remunerative fall trade
good crops-is near at hand. Advices
from the West are highly favorable for
an increased yield of wheat and a fair
average of other grains, and from Cali
fornia We have the same intelligence.
The crop accounts from the South are
also cheering, and it looks as if the
whole country were to be blessed with
abundant harvests during the summer
and fall. Every business man knows
that good crops mean good business,
and meantime the New York Bulletin
SAYS that mercantile credit never stood
as high as at present, and the events OF
the future are likely to increase the
confidence of capitalists and financial
institutions in the soundness OF the
mercantile fabric. One thing that has
served to keep up the long depression
and want of confidence, has been the
uncertainty in regard to the action of
Congress on the currency. Now that
we are approaching the end of the ses-
sion, and with the belief that nothing
really will have been done by Congress
in the premises, there is sense of relief
also from that quarter. As there is not
likely to be agreement as to the proper
financial measure, one such as the Pres
ident could approve, it is satisfactory to
see them s'let well enough alone.

'.1oo PooR TO TAKE PAPER. -
Moore, of the Rural New Yorker, was
sitting in his Office one afternoon some
years ago, when a farmer friend came
in and said '.Mr. Moore, / like your
paper, but times are so hard | cannot
pay for it"
'.Is that so, friend Jones I'm very
sorry to hear that you are so poor; if
you are SO hard run / will give YOU my
paper"
20, no. can't take it as a gift.
"Well then, let's see how we can fix
it You raise chickens, believe :"
"Yes, few; but they don't bring
anything hardly"
"Don't they! Neither does my paper
cost anything hardly. Now, l have a
proposition to make to you. will
continue your paper, when you 60 bone
you may select from your lot one chick
en- and call her mine. Take good care
OF her and bring me the proceeds,
whether in eggs or chickens, and we
will call it square.
"All right, brother Moore" and the
fellow chuckled at what be thought 4
capital bargain. He kept the contract
strictly, and at the end Of the year
found that he had paid about four prices
for his paper. He often tells the joke
himself and he never had the face to say
he was too poor to take paper since
that day.-Modd Farmer

INclrING HATRED AMONG CITIZENS.
1t has been lately mentioned that NJ.
de Cassagnac, the Bonapartist editor OF
Paris, has been summoned before the
courts to answer the charge of "incitlng
citizens to the hatred of each other.
One Bonapartist leader has been sent to
prison for striking Gambetta in the face,
and it is possible that NJ. de Cassagnac
may be handled with equal severity.
While the Congress OF the United
States is trying the experiment Of man
aging the press, it might insert clause
in the bill which has passed the Senate
to that end, and is now before the
House, imposing heavy penalties upon
editors, politicians, and members OF
Congress who are guilty Of what may
Well be considered public crime, SIN
citing citizens TO hatred OF each other.
If such statue were passed some news.
papers and good many members OF
Congress would find their vocation gone.
Most of the legislation of Congress OF
late years towards the Southern States
seems to have no other end in view,
and the intended civil rights bill would
SOW a crop Of hatred between citizens,
which. in loyal sections of the country,
could only result in harvest of the
bitterest hatred. The cause Of order
and good feeling in this country would
be greatly promoted if all who are in
the habit of 'inciting citizens to hatred
of each other" members of Congress
included, could be made to feel the
heavy hand of the law.-Bal,o. Sun.

THE MODEL SHEEP MAN-Tbe New
York Tribune says 'the best sheep man
we ever heard of was soldier OF stone
wall Jackson, who saw somewhere how
valuable are sheep for renovatlpg worn
out land, and after the cruel war was
over be went home 10 his poor farm
and bought l3 ewes, all that he was
able TO buy. lie put them in small
field of briars and weeds, which they
soon destroyed, then he fed them on
bran aud meal. In the winter he shel-
tered them well, feeding oats and
swamp hay, and in the spring he had
thirteen fine lambs. Saving the manure,
he planted the old briar patch with corn
and harvested a fine crop. All his
spare time was devoted to caring tor
the sheep. The next spring he had
more lambs; he was able TO plant more
corn; then came more lambs, when he
sowed clover and grew turnips; and now
to-day, as a result Of such small be-
ginning. he has several hundred fine
sheep. free from disease, bringing him
$4,000 year, r,while bis farm has become
extremely fertile aud he is rich man.
We know that thousands aud thousands
of poor young men haze a free course
open to them to become wealthy by be-
ginning in t6e same way. But the
trouble Is, the way is too humble and
slow, they want 70 get along faster;
they have no patience, no pluck, no
faith. Truly il does seem a small busi-
ness TO watch dozen sheep, as if it
were beneath the attention of q bright
American youth; but if said youth will
look the subject over he will see il is
worthy Of all his powers A young
man can well afford to sit down with a
dozen sheep on the plains, live iu dug
out, and feed on antelope meat, rather
than undertake TO become independent
in city on a clerkship of 81 900 a year.

STRUCK BY LIGnTSING-AsToNTsHING
EscApE.-A most miraculous escape
from death by lightning occurred dur
ing the storm on Thursday of last week,
near Turleytown, in this county. Dur
ing the storm John Dunivan, a young
man engaged in helping his father, had
started out with his one-horse wagon TO
haul load of rails. The storm ceming
up he sought the shelter Of tree which
had once been stricken by the lightning,
but which fact he did not know. He
had been under this tree but a short
time when the lightning again struckit,
shivering it from the top to the bottom
and knocking Dunivar PROSTATE, split
ting the seam in his coat on the right
arm, crossing to bis left side, running
down his left leg. and passing ont over
his shoe to a root Of the tree, tearing up
the earth. Yet strange to say, the
Young man was not only not killed, but
not even seriouily injured, the blistering
and burning Of his flesh being the only
injury recefYed. He was carried home
by the neighbors, Messra Henry Emp
swiller,a Col LII. Horn, and others,
and IN ] few days was going about
again Is usual. It was the, most won
deffnl escape from instant death we
have almost ever recorded. Rocking

MRs. SrRAGuE AND He's REvERIEs.-
There is no one more missed from
Washington than Mrs. VIM. Spragne,
whose gentle, graceful manners made
her beautiful, aristocratic face eagerly
welcomed by tire fashionable frequent
ers of our VANITY Fair" The sorrows
that came to her were felt by all, and
10 woman has never descended so
gracefully from the dizzy heights Of
fortune as she-called in the hay day
of her prosperity the queen OF American
society, she is in her adversely still a
queen. When the order was issued by
the Hoyt's, Of New York, for the seIz,
ure of Senator Spragues property, OF
course the family residence was taken.
Mrs. Sprague, with her charming chill
dren, gathered up her personal belong
ings in the shape of pictures, statuary,
etc, and moved out to Edgewood, the
late residence of her lamented father,
and there in great seclusion she lives.
Her luxurious carriages have given place
to little rockaway, and her retinue OF
servants is reduced to four.
We saw her the other evening at \
charitable entertainment. She wore
deep mourning; her face was pallid and
careworn; but her smile was just as sun
ny and her voice just as CHEEKY as when
there was nothing but peace and wealth
about her. Several years have come
and gone, each to US freighted with
memories and perplexities; but we re-
tanned in our mind vivid picture of
Mrs Sprague as we saw her standing in
the portico at the White House one
evening, giving the hour tor the return
of her carriage to the driver. She was
on the arm of her honored father, In
whom was ccntcred her fondest love
and widest ambition, and was draped
in robe fashioned of soft, sbimmering
silk, over which fell foaming waves OF
priceless lace. And there were jewels
about her throat, and amid the sunny
trcsses Of her bonnie brown hair was
diamond star. She was the observed OF
all the observers as she passed in the
brilliant gas light through the door at
the White House. The vision was so
beautiful that We have always had II
warm and fresh in our memory All
honor to Ohio's brave daughter, who in
prosperity and adversely is still ac-
knowledged the "Queen Of Society

bers and denominations, or IN Its en-.
tirety.
Therefore, let there be issued the
amount of greenbacks now authorized
by law, amounting to four hundred mil
lion dollars, so as to prevent, in part, an
increase of taxation on the one hand
and to afford temporary relief to busi'
ness interests by moderate increase OF
currency on the other, but at the same
time let US adopt no vague, changeable
and sporadic policy upon the resump
ton question, but a well.defned, spe
cifc, and mathematical course, so that
all men may know from month tc
month how near the Government may
be ready to redeem its promise to pay
dollar by its payment thereof, in ac
cordance with the promise, in gold coin
C0ntractionists seem to forget one
important factor in the solution OF thi'
problem. Before the Government car
cancel the groenback circulation it mus
have a surplus, which can only be ob
tanned by adequate taxation. The diff
ference between the boarding of golC
and the cancellation of greenbacks i
this that in the one case the ordinar,
currency remains undisturbed, while il
the other it would diminish from day t.
day, while gold coin would not take it
place until par is reached. Every maj
acquainted practically with business at
fairs is convinced that no popular gov
ernment could pursue a systenfati
course of contraction. McCulloch trie'
it in times of great prosperity, and taile'
to obtain the sanction of the people, be
cause it tended to paralyze industry
while the payment of taxes became NOR
onerous from day to day. 1t is differ
ent when the Treasury holds gold, whic
is now only an article of merchandise
until the day Of redemption. This doe
not affect our ordinary circulation, an
when redemption is once begun the gol
will flow out in such quantities that
will become a part of our circulatin
medium. The boarding Of gold col
until the time of redemption comes il
therefore, the easiest, if not the onl
practicable method of resumption.
