THE CROPS IN TENNESSEE AND
ELSEWHERE.

ELSEh ~ EAE-
A careful comparison of the crop
notes in our State exchanges, for the
past ten days, shows considerable di-
versity Of opinion as to the extent of
damage done to wheat by the cold
weather Of April Some localities suf-
fered severely; but the general i'm
preston seems to be that at
least an average crop viii be
harvested in the State. Corn came
up badly on account Of the late season,
and a good deal Of replanting had to
be done. The most recent accounts
are, however, Of an encouraging char
acter. Grass crops never Jared better
than at present. Though tobacco is
backward the plants are reported as
having done well Of late. With re-
gard to fruit, the gloomy anticipations
Of a month ago are not likely to be
realized Peaches promise a fair yield,
and apples are likely to make even a
better showing.
The Chicago Times publishes one
hundred and twenty-five special dis
patches from all sections Of the West
and Northwest, from which it appears
thatNebraskais is especially hopefulo Of es-
Gaping a renewal of the grasshopper Wis
itation; in Missouri, between prayer and
Paris green there is a feeling Of encour-
agcment: in Kansas the farmers have
recovered from their alarm and feel re-
assured; and In Minnesota and Iowa
the prospects are not considered as
gloomy as heretofore.
Our California exchanges concur in
the opinion that the wheat crop this
year will fall below the very large aver
age Of the last few years. This arises
from the deficiency Of the rainfall, on
which California agriculture is so de-
pendent. Everything depends on the
fall and spring rains-for it only rains
twice a year in that State, but the
showers last several weeks. IN
fortunately, the spring rains
were deficient, resulting IN q
serious loss to the agricultural
interests. But it is estimated that the
wheat surplus, after deducting the re,
auirements for home consumption, vii
be $4,000 tons, with about half as
much more from Oregon. The two
States Will have about S25,OOO,Or
worth Of wheat to sell to a hungry
world, which is not very bad for States
Of only yesterday and the day before
Adyices from the South are to tn,
effect that the crops are, almost with
ont exception, doing finely, and thai
the planters are more hopeful than a
any time since the war.

IT Is well known that the German
Liberals, Democrats and Communists,
who are the natural enemies Of central
ism, support Bismarck nevertheless,
on account Of his war against the Pope.
ThC dispatches have indicated Of late
that the German Chancellor IS endeay-
oring TO use the Liberals Of Belgium
as political allies. A Berlin CORE
spondent of the Nel0 York Tribune fore
shadows this policy as follows:
Some persons seem to suspect the
existence Of a sort Of league between
Prince Bismarck and the Belgian Lib
erals, which has for an object a COM
mon course Of action against Ultra
mOntanism. There is undoubtedly
much that Is common between them.
Any person who pays attention
TO the Liberals Of the little neigh
boring kingdom viii observe that
more resolUte and clear-sighted
men are not to be found IN Europe. 1t
is their fortune, or perhaps their mis-
fortune, to struggle at home against a
clerical majority too strong to be over
thrown, and too moderate TO be actual
ly dangerous; but the UltramOutauism
Of Europe wherever it may be at work,
whether fighting with the Carlist ban
ditti Of Spain, or fruitlessly resisting
the course Of unifcati0n in this cOUn-
try, has no more determined adversary.

you leaders have gone on and nomina-
ted two men for each office. How is
this ? What does this trick import y
Leadcr--"Well, | will tell you how
it happened After consulting with
the leading men of our party, we con-
c!uded TO nominate two men for Com
missioner and two for Auditor, so as
to prevent our men from voting for

Rad,-"Yes, but that trick defeats
Irwin and Wells, see ifit don't You
defeated Cook, and-and the man up
in Jordan township--two of the best
men before the Convention and next
you want TO defeat Irwin and Wells"

They cannot be defeated. Hoover and

FATAL EFFECT OF COAL GAS

VIM. Collins has been working in

Tuesday of last week he moved his
family, consisting his wife and three
children--two boys aged respectively
II and ID, and n beautiful little girl

the night by putting on coal, taking
off the front lids and shutting the back
dampcr they retired, leaving the stair
door leading from the kitchen open.
On Friday morning Mr.. Collins awoko

stairs, opened the house and started
for doctor, but before he had accom-

When the father returned he was a.
