The Country Bare of Agricultural Pro.
ducts.

b. f. j. writes to the Country Gentle
man, from Champaign County, ILL.,, as
follows "The scarcity of agricultural
pOoducts i'm the West, and especially in
Central Illinois at the present time, is q
remarkable circumstance, and deserves q
great deal more consideration than is
given it. OF mules and horses there is a
considerable supply in excess of the de-
mand, and both are unusually cheap. In
addition to the number of cattle in the
State on the first of January, many
thousand head have been bought and
brought in, to be grazed and fed on our
rich pastures and large yielding corn
fields during the coming summer and
winter. Sheep are not numerous and are
confined to limited number of coun-
ties, and to a restricted area. But of fat
hogs, corn, wheat, oats, barley, buck
wheat, potatoes and vegetables generally,
fruits, hay, straw, and fodder Ofall kinds,
the country has been as completely
drained as well slaughtered animal of
its life blood. If there should be fail
nre of this years crops, and a complete
failure, there would not only not be
found tenth of the amount ofgrain and
hay necessary to keep the domestic ami
mails over, but importation of food would
have to be made into the State to keep
the population from suffering, ifnot from
absolute starvation. 1t is surprising ut
what a rate within year. the country
has been shorn ofits hay, grain and straw
stacks, and to what an extent its corn
cribs and grain bins have been removed
and emptied. The country is so bare of
accumulated agricultural products as to
suggest to one who did not know the
facts, that Illinois had suffered from at
least three or four years failure Of the
crops i'm succession"

Misplaced Confidence.

The Galena editor who published that
funny thing about the Sunday School
Superintendent remark to his scholars
about the steamer, did not remember
how good the original was, written by
Mark Twain, and published three years
ago i'm London. 1t is as follows: Just
about the close of that long, hard winter"
said the Sunday School Superintendent,
"as | was vending toward my duties one
brilliant Sabbath morning, glanced to-
ward the levee, and there lay the steamer
City of Hartford. No mistake about it !:
there she was, putting and painting after
her long pilgrimage through the ice. A
glad sight? Well, should say so! And
then came pang right away, because /
should have to instruct empty benches,

season. You can imagine how surprised

How He SAT mon Him.

Two actors, who bore to each other the
most inveterate hatred, were to perform
in an opera, the one a knight and the
other disguised as bear, with whom the
knight was to combat. Everything went
off very well; they fought; the bear, as
was fitting, was vanquished and lay mo-
tionlcss on the ground. But, while the
very fine instrumental music was ccle-
brating the chivalrOus action and at
tracted for few moments the attention
of the audience, the victorious knight
thought it pity not to embrace this OPP
portunity and therefore struck his fallen
adversary several times with the fiat side
of his sword The bear bore it very
patiently for some time, but when he
found it going too far, he suddenly sprang
up, seized the knight and treated him so
roughly that he fell down half dead with
fear. AT this instant it was the turn of
the orchestra to be silent and the knight
was to sing bravura in honor of the con-
quest. Everything was silent; the cir
cumstance had not been noticed i'm the
orchestra; the prompter gave the signal,
but, as the knight was quito unable to
sing, the bear, All equally good singer,
without much ceremony seated himself
on the fallen knight and with loud
voice sang the air, to the no small enter
tainment of the audience.

Old Weasefs Last Poker Hand.
From the New Orleans Picayune

From the New orleans
The best poker hand we ever heard of
was held by old Weasel the other night.
Weasel didn't know much about poker,
but he wanted to learn, and every now
and then (the party was playing cuchre)
he would show his cards and ask if it
wasn't good hand. Once or twice he
bet, but somebody always beat him, be-
cause he knew so little about the game.
After n while, as Weasel was dealing, and
when he had thrown three cards around
to each one, he stopped and looked at his
three. He looked good while. Then
he got excited.
"Now | know this is good hand. Pve
learned something about poker in the last
two hours, and I'll bet S25 on these three
cards. 1t is just the best hand ever
saw"
Jones had beaten Weasel on this sort of
a banter already, and so he took up his
cards. He had three aces-a pretty good
hand for three cards. Nobody could have
Il full of fours, and his threes were the
biggest in the deck. He bent pitying
smile on old Weasel, and said: 81 think
I've got something pretty good here, but |
couldn't bet less than fifty dollars OH it.
We're not betting poker, you know, and
those outside issues are irregular. | bet
fifty dollars"
"Done!" said old Weasel. What
have you got ?"
They put up their money, and then
Jones showed his hand.
"Here's three aces, you old mutton
head. You can't beat that with any
three cards on earth. You ought to
know better than to"
"Hold on" cried old Weasel, throwing
down the king, ten and seven of hearts.
"That's flush, amt it? When you've
got all of suit that's flush, | believe ;
and flush always beats threes. ! don't
know much about poker, but it seems to
me I've got the best hand out of jail"
Jones had forgotten about hushes. In
fact the whole party rather underrated
old Weasel because he was a religious
man, and not supposed to know anything
about cards. But they kepta very watch
full eye on him after that, and when he
spoke of poker hands they all insisted on
sticking to the game they were playing.
