The Greatest crop in the World.

We find in the Colorado Ag>
ricultural and Stock Journal
the following statistics con>
corning hay and grass, which
are worth the careful attention
of those land overs in this sec>
ton who are in the habit of
renting their land every year
for the purpose of raising corn,
oats, and other crops; for, be-
sides the injury done those
lands by the careless cultiva>
sion of a majority Of renters,
the immediate profit to the
owner is greater, particularly
when he can afford to Craze his
OWL STOCK.
The hay crop in the United
States far the last year is res
ported at over 27,OOO,OO0 tons
cured. This at $40 per ton is
about S5OO,OOO,0O0, and does
not include what was eaten but
not cnred. The live stock of
the United States was worth
ST., 500, 100000. These had to
get their living out Of grass.
The value of animals slaught>
cred for food in that year was
5000, 100000. The butter crop
was about 514,O0O,0OO pounds.
This all came from grass. There
were produced 235, 100000 gal.
Ions of milk, worth S25,OOO,0 900
This, too, came from grass
Next, 1OO,0O0,O0O pounds OF
wool, at S25,OOO,OOO. This got
its living from grass. Next
100000 pound of cheese
worth $5,OOO,OO0. Add al
these items together, and the
grass product OF 1874 of the
United States was no less thar
81, 1872 100000. The total value
of all agricultural products il
the United States was $2,447, ;
: 588,6jS. In other words, th,
; grass crop of the United States
can pay off the national debt il
two years.

John C. Breckenridge.

We judge that little hope re-
mains for the life of Kentucky's
Chevalier Bayard, the kingly
man, brave soldier and true
Southern patriot whose name
appears above. Writing at 4
p. M, and upon the informa-
ton found in the noon tele-
grams, we see little or no
ground to expect any other
than a speedy death. The night
dispatches will probably tell
the sad, sad story, and send a
pang of keenest regret through
the thousands Of Southern
hearts that hold so dear the
name, character, and services
of Breckenridge.
OF all the men in the South
land who took part in the late
civil war, there was not one
who bore himself more royalty
whether in the shock of bat
tie, under the ban of official ia
vor, or as a paroled prisoner
and DISTINGUISHED rebel" To
every fate he presented a front
of serenest courage and most
philosophical patience; and it
is not too much to say that OF
all the politicians who held ex-
allied military positions in the
Confederate army, he showed
the highest aptitude for wal
while it lasted, and the most
dignified acceptance of it's re-
suits when over. Perhaps il
was in his blood-none noblel
flows in mortal veins-perhaps
in the man himself. He was
tried with many tests as man
patriot and soldier, but never
found wanting. Nature was ir
one Of her sunniest moods
when he was moulded, so rich
ly did she dover him with he
choicest gifts. If he has indeed
passed to the other shore, thu
South has lost one of her rares
jewels, Kentucky her mos
distinguished son.-IMacol

Will the reader have the
goodness in some leisure hour
to sit down and think over the
Canal fraud, the Credit Alobi>
lier. the Jayne and Sanborn
business, the Pacific MAJ snb~
sidy, the doings of the indian
Ring, and the leprosy recently
brought to the ligkt il. the
Customs service and Internal
Revenue Office, and then aus
swer the question at the head
of this article 1t is said that
the Treasury has lost Il million
by the silk smugslers, and two
or three millions by the Whisky
Ring, and that these losses
have accrued within twelve or
eighteen months. But every
one who has watched the
course of things knows that
the origin of this corruption
dates far back, that the dark
abyss has been explored only a
!. little way, and that the loss OF
revenue is to be measured not
by millions, but by tens Of mil>
lions. We look at these events
; as matters very different from
simple losses of money or prop

There is no doubt that Mr..
Dwight Klinck Of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, and his wife-formerly
Miss Studdebaker of Button
are divorced. Mr.. Klinck was
well known in his section, and
had political aspirations-his
aim being congress. He and
his wife had trouble, and one
of them, it is not stated which,
sued for divorce. The divorce
business was almost settled,
and Klinck started for Europe
to enjoy his freedom and a
change Of scene. Mrs. Klinck
stayed at home to chew the
cud of sweet or bitter fancies,
as the case might I've with her.
Their ways had separated for
ever. Neither of them knew
how entirely. At length the
final entry Of divorce was en-
tered upon the court docket in
the absence of both, and the
very same day Dwight Klinck
went dow u i'll the Schiller. A
divorce was never more en-
phatically decreed, or more
completely consummated. The
ocean confirmed the order of
the court, and there can be nc
resurrection of that case. The
lady is excused from mourning

A newspaper biographer try
ing to say his subject "was
hardly able TO bear the demise
OF his wife," was made by the
memorable printer 10 say, swear
the chemise of his wife" -[Exc.
And the printer served that
blographer right for using the
word demise in that connec>
ton, when the word death was
shorter, more common, and
admitting OF but one meaning.
We think that ''intelligent

there is the same report. More
land is in cultivation, and the
people are working better than
ever known before. Cotton,

more than plentiful.

Nothing so completely dis>
gusts the Columbus) Ca Times,
"as to hear the continual pray>
er, on the part of certain South
eth men, for forgiveness. Their
cry is a steady one, and it
amounts to an insipid boots
licking, that can only be con-
sidered infamous. They beg
the North to forgive them, and
never think of taking the de-
cided stand that we have done
nothing to be ashamed of.
They fail to recollect that we
can accept the situation, and
be consistent but for fear they
will not go far enough, they
want to apologize for their past
conduct, and enter a pledge of
loyalty for life. We are not
disloyal in the slightest degree;
but loyalty does not consist in
sacrificing your selfrespect
and dignity. The olive branch
OF peace properly comes from
the victors, and not from the
vanquished. The defeat only
