The greatest Crop in the World.


The hay crop of the United States ior
the last year i reported at over 81 ,O00,-
600 tons cured. This at $50 per tor is
about $500, 900, 600, and does not include
what was eaten but not cured The live
stock of the United States was worth
81, ,525, 100000 These had to get their
living out Of grass. The value Of an
mails slaughtered for food in that year
was S309, ,O00, 900. The butter crop was
5l4,0O0,000. This all came from grass.
There were produced 235 100000 gallons
of milk, worth S25,OO0O0O. This, too,
came from grass. Next, 100,000,000
pounds of wool, at S25, 100000. This
got its living from grass. Next, 50 O00,-
900 pounds of cheese, worth S5,00O,O0O
Add all these items together, and the
grass product of 1874 of the United
States was no less than 81 ,292, 900, 600.
The total value of all agricultural prod
nets in the United Sta tss was 2,447,

of the United States can pay off the na-
tional debt in two years.

MISCELLANY.
Cream without n Cow.

The Paris correspondent of the
London Standard refers as follows
to a new article of food in the
French capital:
81 must briefly allude to the new
butter, called Margarine Mouries.
If we-the world in general, that
is-rightly understood the process
by which this substance is made
approved by analysis, adopted by
the counsel of hygiene, authorized
by the government for army use,
and taxed with one rate with the
genuine article-the end of all
things must be at hand. This but
ter is composed of cream that never
dwelt in COW. As l understand it,
it is neither lard, nor oil, nor grease
of any sort, whether animal, vege-
table, or mineral. 1t is made of
things in chemists shop. Study
ing the process by which green
grass is transformed to milk, NJ.
Mouries Mege has pursued the task
of simplifcation until he can dis
pense with the cows unscientific
processes. Was it not Lord Brough-
am who looked forward to the time
when chemists would be our only
butchers, when, with the help of a
few powders, a furnace, a spectre
scope, and elementary education,
one would turn truss of hay into
beefsteak in the back parlor?
This what NJ. Mege processes to
have done, or something like it, for
butter, and his brother savans all
declare the result perfection.
Though the process is but year
old, it employs 400 men and seven
manufactures. The butter-to
which that name is not given by
the inventor, but by the octrio off,
cials-is sold at about half the
price of the real substance in which
the COW is not avowedly ignored" ;"

Professor DOnaldsOn's Narrow Es-
cape.

Professor Donaldson, who was re-
ported as having been instantly kill
ed near Atco, New Jersey, by an
accident to his balloon on Wednes-
day, arrived in Philadelphia on
Thursday. He states that when
the balloon started it ascended rap
idly, and it was very cold; he never
felt it so cold before. He arose to
an altitude of 5000 feet, when it
became so cold that the mineral wa
ter in bottle had frozen thick, and
he thought it best to descend. His
hands were SO benumbed that he
could not reach the valve cord. The
balloon sped on, descending some
what, but rapidly nearing the sea.
The drag-rope was thrown out, and
in the little Jersey towns over which
the air-ship passed, crowds of men
and women came out to look at it,
but were afraid to render assistance.
Finally, as the balloon was within
a few miles of Atco, the place from
which the first dispatch of Wednes-
day night came, it had descended
until within forty-five feet of the
ground. He thought it best for his
safety to get out the best way he
could, and to carry out this idea he
took his dirk knife and severed the
balloon from the basket. Up sped
the balloon, and it was soon lost to
sight, sailing no doubt for Europe.
Downward went Donaldson and the
basket, turning over and over until
they reached the bramble on the
ground. The Professor was well
shaken up and so stunned that he
lay unconscious for awhile, and
when he recovered he was in the
hands of good Samaritans. who had
seen the accident from afar and came
to the rescue. The balloon which
was lost was new one, the journey
on Wednesday being Its first. 1t
had acapacity of 10000 feet of gas.

Swedon, Denmark and Germany.

In o speech made by the King, who is an elo-

Der, what no doubt escaped the royal mind.
that 'the last time when the Sweden and
Prussian armies fought side by side was in
1914; that their enemy was Denmark, and
that the result was the cession Of Norway
10 Sweden. Considering that it has been the
policy Of this King and his predecessor to
cultivate the warmest relations between
Sweden AID Norway and Denmark, that the
union Of the three Gro Wns under one head
has been the dream Of the scandinavian pa
triots, this remark Of the King has made on
unfortunate impression, not only in Denmar.
but at home. Neither Danes nor Swedes look
kindly upon the march Of German ambition.
Already Germany and Russia have taken
from the Scandinavian territories valu-
able provinces. Finland and Courland
ara scandinavian. just as much as the
northern part Of Schloswig. For Scandi-
navinn prince to express desire to see the
Scandinavian army fighting side by side with.
the Germans against another Scandinavian
nationality, is q singularly grave and striking
blunder.
The truth IL we presume, that there was
no such meaning in the mind of King Oscar.
Ills speech was probably an idle compliment,
hastily spoken under the influence Of German
wine 1t is 70 the interest Of Sweden and OF
all the scandinavian countries to be on es-
pecial friendly terms with Germany. In the
march Of events the scandinavian race has
assumed an important position to the Ger
mans and it is only expressing an undenia-
bic fact when we say that Germany could at
any time by the mere manifestation Of her
military power, or by an alliance with Russia,
extinguish what remains Of the ancient and
renowned monarchies in single campaign.
No prince Of the Swedish house has shown
SO much devotion to The ideas of Scandi-
nayian nationality as King Oscar. We have
little doubt that his visit to Berlin was
prompted by prudent, far-seeing patriotism,
desire to strengthen his position in Europe
BY conciliating the Power which, since the
battle Of Sedan, has become the arbiter Of the
destiny Of the Continent.

The management OF tho Park De-
pnrtment.


The report Of the Commissioners Of Ac-
counts on the management Of the Park De
partment shows that much looseness has pre-
vailed in the manner Of keeping the accounts
Of the department, and that the law has not
always been strictly observed in its expendi-
lures. We hud, for instance, that when the
maintenance credit has run short moneys APP
propriated to construction have been trans
ferred TO maintenance, and rice rersd. In
one instance an error Of seventy thousand
dollars is found to have been made by the
boohkeeper, and the books we're In such
condition as to render a balance sheet an
impossibility. Indeed, the bookkeeper does
not appear TO regard balance sheet as at all
necessary. Purchases have been made by
The department ia violation Of the wise pro-
vision Of the charter limiting all expenditures
without q contract to one Thousand dollars.
All these things are, Of course, contrary to
law, and while no corruption or extravaganza
Is charged upon the department infringe
ments d the charter and carelessness in keep
Ing the accounts of a public Office are always
dangerous and reprehensible.
This looseness Of management was initiated
10 the Park Department under the old secret
and irresponsible system, when salaries not

Mayor Wickham's Decentralization
AS His Honor tho Mayor reads in the
graphic cable dispatches published IN the
HERALD how the Lord Mayor of London
went In state to Dublin city and was wei
coined by the Lord Mayor Of the Irish
metropolis, he viii regret that he allowed 50
trivial matter as d desire to review the
Orangemen on the 10Th Of July to delay his
contemplated visit to Europe. We presume
that this is the only matter that could have
kept the Mayor at home, because, as our city
government is now organized, the only
functions left to the Mayors Office are
the reviewing Of Irish professions. All
the political patronage is distributed
by John Kelly, all the practical
business is in the hands Of Comptroller
Green, all the power is welded by Samuel J.
Tilden. As Governor Tllden has expressed
desire to review the Orangemen himself,
being candidate for the Presidency and
anxious for al kinds Of votes, and as he has
gone 50 far as 10 purchase Q suit Of orange
trimmed with blue in which to perform this
Office, even that excuse for delay on the part
Of Mayor Wlckham falls to the ground. What
proud man he might have been yesterday
morning, marching out to Dollymount with
the Lord Mayor Of Dublin upon the one side
and the Lord Mayor Of London upon the
other, carrying in his hands the flag Of his
country, and telling the listening thousands
81 the glories Of Bunker Hill
