CRAGGIE HOPE, Tenn, April 23.-The
frost has killed all the fruit, and our pros
poets for brandy and cider were never
more gloomy than at this period. The
wheat is no doubt injured greatly by the
late cool "spell."
Our farmers are late this season in plant
ing corn, and we fear that an average crop
will not be planted this season. All the
tobacco plants, / hear, are killed, and our
prospect for the "Vile weed" is anything
but encouraging. All the potato seed, so
far as l have heard, have rOtted, and our
people are offering large prices for that ar
ticle.
The dog law is creating much excite
ment. The popular will is decidedly Op-
posed to it, and 1 am fearful some Of our
"hOund-loYing' people will come out in

The people Of our county (some Of them)
have barely enough provisions to cultivate
a crop with, and l am fearful some Of them
will suffer. INDUS.

Chicago Tribune, April p.

The intense aversion the taX-eateTs have
for the charter of 1875, IS explained by the
fact that it limits city taxes to fifteen mills
on the dollar, whereas the charter to be
voted on tomorrow authorizes the Council
to levy and spend three per cent, or thirty
mills Of taxes each year; hence the tax
eaters are rallying their hummer cohorts
for the adoption Of the machine which af-
fords the most plumber.

Tilton's testimony being practically end
ed, the New York Star thus sums up the
the conclusions of both sides as to what
they suppose they have established by his
evidence
They prosecution think they proved by
Tilton
/. That he was rich.
2. That Beecher confessed to him.
3. That his wife confessed to him.
A. That he only knew Mrs. Woodruff
casually, and seryed her purposes simply
as by-play to his desire to shield Elizabeth.
The defense think they have proved by
Tilton
/. That he was not rich. For instance,
his house and library he "valued" at $780,
600, appears to be heavily mortgaged, and
was never really worth any such sum; that
his Tribune share was never his, but be-
longed to his father that the property in
New Jersey was paid for by advertising
and puffs in the Independent, and is worth
very little at any rate, and that what he
may have had he obtained very easily, and,
with the exception of what he lost in the
Golden Age-always a graveyard-he still
holds under mortgage.
2. That he destroyed the paper he calls
his wife's confession.
8. That Mr.. Beecher's confession con.
sisted in his saying, "This is all wild
whirl."
A. That he knew Mrs. Woodruff intima
tely, slept in her house, took her to Coney
Island, and with her and John Swintor
walked in honor of Russell.
8. That he and his kidney Endorsed thu
fearful Commune butcheries of the Frencl
Catholics by publicly parading In then
honor, on Sunday, through the streets o.
New York; and In an absurd burst o.
bosh, fury and nonsense reinforced then
in the presence and hearing of the jury.

The subject of opening the mouths of
the Mississippi river is attracting a great
deal of attention in the west. The politi-
cal situation is hardly more thoughtfully
considered. The plan proposed by Capt.
Eads is the one most widely Endorsed. He
proposes to establish depth of twenty
feet on the bar, which he will agree to
maintain for twelve months. Then he is
willing to contract to increase the depth
four feet, and also maintain that His
compensation for the undertaking he fixes
at several millions below the estimates of
the army board, and he is willing not to
draw any funds from the treasury until
the depth of twenty feet is satisfactorily
maintained But Eads' plan is not accept

matter in charge They desire to execute
the task as government work, dole out APP
preparations as occasion requires, and put
the execution of the scheme under the
superintendency of Capt. Eads. In other
words, influential men want chance for a
job, out Of which noble fortunes can be
made.

BY LOUISE CHANDLER MoULToN.

How we, poor players on LIES little stage,
Thrust bllndly at each other in our rage,
quarrel and fret, yet rashly dare to pray
To God to help us in our selfish way.
We think to move Him with our prayers and
praise,
To serve our needs-as In the old Greek days
Their gods came down and mingled In the
fight,
With mlghticr arms the flying foe to smile.
The laughter of those gods pealed down to men
For heaven was but earth'S upper story then,
Where goddesses about an apple stroye,
And the high gods fell humanity In love,
We own a God whose presence nils the sky
Whose sleepless eyes behOlds the worlds roll
by
Whose faithful memory numbers, one by one,
The sons OF men, and calls them each HIS son.
He loves us all-is patient with our sin
Spreads wide his door, and bids us enter In
Yet holds no man above his humblest brother,
And loves us least when! least we love each
other.
How idle then, TO pray for mine and thine,
TO seek for earthly ends the grace divine,
TO hope for help In storing up our gold,
That we be warm while other men are cold
He loves us all and from His waiting feast
VIII turn away no meanest one, or least
But all His guests must come In friendly guise
since Love, bright angel, guards His Paradise,
And swift as lightning shuts It's cleaning gate
Against the soul that learns to love, too late
