A WASHINGTON correspondent gives q
description of stock farm belonging to
President Grant, in old Prince George
County, Maryland, within easy distance
of Washington, and accessible 10 the
Baltimore race course and market
With a pair of roadsters the President
has several times ridden by road from
Washington TO Baltimore in one day, a
matter of about thirty-eight miles. He
has attended the county fairs at Ruck-
vile, Frederick, Hagerstown and Cum
berland, and secured the region east OF
the Anacostia or Eastern Branch, where
on the gravelly ride between the Patux-
ent and the Anacostia is Ogen Cowie's
fine farm of Buena Vista, with its blood
ed stock. Close by. at Silver Springs, is
Sam Smites fruit and herd farm. The
Pope's Greek Railroad and the Baltimore
and Potomac, with the Baltimore and
Ohio's three arms, now throw all this out
lying part of Maryland together. The
Washington and Marlborough turnpike,
built since the war, is good dry road all
the year round, and the road system in
the vicinity Of the capital, ubiquitIously
improved, graded, and often macadan1iz-
ed by the much abused Board OF Public
Works, is for eight months out Of the
year superior to the road system Of any
clay or aIluvial region of the country.
The President for several years was a
boss farmer. His daughter has married
the heir of an English country gentleman,
and his inclinations lean towards country
life. Stock raising has grown to be a
profitable pursuit and an American gen
tleman's recreation as we'll.

1t grows more and more evident every
day that the reign OF the "bloody shirt
Is ended, and that the party which hopes
for success In the next National compaigu
must find a more popular issue than that
lighting the war over again. The ex-
tremely sensible speech of exPresident
Jefferson Davis at Houston last week
has had an excellent effect al the North.
The Utica Herald saws truly oft: "It
is the duty Of every loyal citizen TO ac-
cept the words of Jefferson Davis. rs
uttered in all sincerity. and as represen-
tative of the revived patriotism of the
whole Southern people. Ii should be
the regret Of all. that the day OF such an
understanding has been postponed so long.
We are fast drawing near to another
great Presidential campaign. Certainly
the hatred and bitterness which have fol-
lowed their introduction into former
political canyasses will have no proper
place in those OF the future. There will
be no ku-klux 10 convince the Northern

There will be no Force bill, to compel
the Southern people TO think that the

when it promised complete and per
feet restoration to the Union. There
will not even be Louisiana, if we NAV

belief that there l. no virtue among pub |

from the canvass before us, and we have /
abundant assurance that, whatever its /.

1t may interest our German citizens to
know that residence of two years in the
mother country invalidates their Ameri-
can citizenship under the present treaty.
The treaty which was made in 1868 be-
tween the United States and the old
North German Union provides that each
country will recognize the naturalization
conferred by the other upon residents Of
FIVE years. A naturalized citizen return
ing to his native country is liable for any
punishable act committed before he emf
grated; If he returns to his native coun-
try, without intending to resume resi-
dence in his adopted, he is held to have
renounced his naturalization. THE in
tent not to return may be held to exist
when the person naturalized in the one
country resides more than two yesrs in
the other country"

The peach growers of the Mar

900 baskets. The Philadelphia,

authorities have settled upon the

Middletown, it is said, is the lar.

900 baskets, and Mr.. Shelcross,
who will send to market 10000
baskets. From this station the
railroad company expects to carry
600, 900 baskets, demanding so cars

Mt Pleasant crop is estimated at
100000 baskets; Dover, 400, 900.
From the Queen Ann and Kent

100000. Then from other points,

The continuous wet weather of the
last ten or twelve days has damaged
the crops considerably throughout the
county. In some parts of the county,
on low ground, the corn has been
much injured by the floods, but as a
general thing the stand and growth is
excellent, and the chief trouble Is
from a want of cultivation, which has
been necessitated by the wet weather.
The oats crop is generally very good;
also the erase. Up to within the last
week the wheat crop has been very
fiattering, but few days ago little
fly, or bug, called the Nudge, appeared
in the north part of the county and
has already done much damage, and
threatens worse. This little bug,
which is probably the larva of some
small fly. and is of yellowish- red
color, gets into hull of the head and
eats the milk of the grain. The
swamp wheat and the bearded wheat,
we are informed, do not suffer from
it any. In Montgomery county and
in Russell, franklin and Clinton
townships of this county. whole fields
have been destroyed by this insect.
1t has done some damage in other
parts of the county, though it does
not seem to be general. Harvest will
be about a week or ten days later
than common, and will begin about
the first of the week.-Greencastle

The announcement of the death
of the ex Emperor, Ferdinand I, of
Austria, will bring to many the
first news of the existence of such
a person. Yet this man sat upon
the throne of Austria for thirteen
years-from 1885 to 1848. He
was born at Vienna on the 18th
day of April, 1893, and was the son
ofFrancis I, by his marriage with
Maria Theresa of the house of
Naples. In 1885 he succeeded his
father on the throne. He was
weak physically and mentally, and
Metternich was allowed to carry on
the government. Ferdinand was
kind hearted and indecisive, and in
consequence of the revolutionary
agitation of 184S, he abdicated in
favor of his nephew, Franz Joseph,
the present emperor. He has
since resided in Prague, where he
died.

The Chicago Tribune thinks the
country has touched bottom at last
and is in excellent condition to
start anew on the highway to pros
perity. It says:
We may be doing less business
than in 1873, buying less, selling
less; building fewer railroads; IN
vesting less money in the wilder.
ness; raising less cocoanuts and
pineapples in lighthouses, digging
fewer holes through mountains In
search of imaginary silver mines;
have no construction companies.
and no swindiing stocks, fanked by
illimitable bonds issued by COM
panies without q dollar of capital;
but the business we are doing is
real business, a paying business, a
business in which real commOdi-
ties are exchanged for equivalents
in value. The speculative element
of trade has been eliminated;
money is abundant and interest
low. Capital exists in almost un
limited amount seeking investments
that are substantial. There are
millions for legitimate business,and
not cent for speculation; and this
condition we insist is better one,
and indicative of greater and
more permanent prosperity, ma
tional and individual, than the
rotten, unsubstantial, false and
dishonest condition of seeming
prosperity that existed before the
panic in September, 1873.
The twenty two months that have
elapsed since Jay Cooke hung out
his flag of distress have been a
period of distress and anxiety,and
of loss and perhaps financial ruin
to individuals entangled in the tolls
of expansion and speculation; but
to the country they have been a
season of recovery and GONZALES
cence from the wild debauch of
waste and riotous speculation; and
as recovery becomes more perma
nent, so is the general business
and prosperity of the country i'm
proving and growing stronger un>
der a healthful regime of strict re
sponsibility and credit represented
by substance.

A story is told of q lion which
was brought from India, and who
on the passage grew very fond of a
sailor who had charge of him. His
name was s.Nero" On being shut
up in cage in London, he grew
sulky. and was very fierce when
any one came near him, SO that it
was dangerous even for his keeper
to approach him.
One day, few weeks after Nero
had been shut up in his new prison
party of sailors visited the me
nagerie, and were warned by the
keeper not to go near the lion, who
every now and then growled saw
agely at those who we're looking at
him. All at once one of these sail
ors ran up to the cage. and thrust
ing in his hand, cried out, "What!
old shipmate! don't you now me?
What cheer, old Nero, my lad7'
The lion instantly left off feeding
and growing, sprang up to the
bars of the cage, and put out his
nose between them. Jack patted
him on the head, and the lion
rubbed his hand with his whiskers
like cat, showing evident signs Of
pleasure.
"Ahr' said Jack turning to tie
keeper and spectators, who stood
frightened and in astonishment,
'sNero and were once shipmates,
and you see he isn't like some
folks; he don't forget an old
friend"

No one can at present form more
than conjecture as to what the
whole collection of the Centennial
buildings with their surroundings
will look like when completed, for
the approaches will be terraced
and ornamented with fountains.
grass, flowers, shrubbery and
statues, and it is fully expected
that the entire Exposition will
cover three hundred acres. It is
now anticipated that a separate
building will have to be construct
ed under the auspices of the La
dies Centennial Committee for the
exhibition of woman's work, the
estimated cost of the structure be-
ing thirty thousand dollars. The
building to be erected by the Ma
tional Government at cost of two
hundred and seventy five thousand
dollars will contain q museum in
itself, inasmuch as it will include
all the models from the Patent
Office and great collection from
the Smithsonian Institution and
the Executive Departments, in
GLIDING the Indian Department.
In many respects this will be one
of the most interesting parts of the

Gen. 8herunan On Rraak Dlair.
A st. Louis correspondent OF the
New York Herald records the fol-
lowing, which is equally honorable
10 both the brave men mentioned:
"Among the touching tributes is
that Of General Sherman. Your
correspondent met him this morn
ing as he was coming down town
TO his headquarters. Upon being
asked If he had heard the announce
ment Of Frank Blair's death Sher-
man replied:
Yes, poor Frank is gone: poor
Frank is gone Then the General
unused q moment and said. with
some warmth, that some express
ions of his had been distol ted into
reflections upon General Blair's
character as q soldier, and that
great injustice had been done to
him thereby.
Il always had a most exalted re-
gard for Frank Blair pursued
General Sherman, with much forci
bleness of manner. 4 always re
garded him as one of the truest
patriots, most honest and honor
able men and one of the most
courageous soldiers this country
ever produced. I never lost sight
of the services he rendered the
country on the outbreak of the war
and ! fully concede and always
have conceded that to his boldness,.
promptitude and frmness more
than to anything else the country
is indebted for the preservation of
st Louis as strategic point, and
for the salvation of Missouri. Frank
Blair was noble, generous. honest
man. His virtues will live forever,
because they reflected good upon
others, while his faults will be
buried with him, because they
harmed no one but himself"
