CROP PROSPECTS.

CHICAGO, April 20-The Inter- Oce-
an this morning publishes reports from
some two hundred points in Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan. Ohio and Pennsyl.
vania. where the bulk of winter wheat
is grown, showing the present condi-
ton Of the growing crops of winter
wheat and fruit. In Illinois wheat pro-
misses we'll. In few counties wheat
threatens to prove a failure, but by
far the majority of the reports are
encouraging. Peaches were injured
by the cold spell during March, but
apples and nearly all varieties Of
small fruit look we'll and promise an
abundant yield.
Michigan and Indiana report ex-
cellent prospects for oil kinds of crop.
Michigan expects a plentiful yield Of
everything. In Indiana the winter
and spring have proved unfavorable
for winter wheat and peaches, but ap-
pies and small fruit appear to be
thriving.
Reports from OHIO are to the effect
that wheat is badly damaged, except
in we'll drained bottom lands, and a
reduced yield of all kinds of fruit is
expected.

The right way to sweep q carpet
is to incline the handle of the broom
a little forward, then give light
drawing stroke, allowing the broom
to scarcely tonch the carpet. Not half
the weight Of the broom should be
allowed to press on the carpet as the
dirt Is moved forward. Let the dirt
be moved and rolled lightly. If a
generous quantity Of tea grounds or
clean and damp sawdust can be spread
over the carpet before sweeping, all
the fine dirt will adhere to the wet
materials. = " II

The wife Of George I. Amsdell,
a wealthy Albany brewer, obtained a
divorce from him in 1870. She was
granted $4,000 alimony, Of which
$4,000 was paid in cash and the rest
in = mortgage. In 1874 they were
remarked, aud the wife gave back the
mortgage. In 1875 they were, ready
to part again. The wife began 4 suit
to recover the mortgage. Mr.. John
T. Hoffman was made a referee Id
the case, and he has decided that the
second marriage was null and void,
~ MI. Amsdell had noright to mar
ny again while his divorced wife lived.
Therefore a new mortgage must be
given to her and the arreaage Of in
terest paid.

All Caroline's letters announcing the

Alfred talked largely about call
ing the captain to account; but it
came to nothing. Sir Popperton's
opinion was strongly expressed, and
as he had thirty thousand pounds to
leave to somebody, Alfred dutifully
deferred to him. For myself, I had
the extreme. felicity, fortnight after

some slight scruples about the legali-

TREATMENT or PIGS.

A correspondent Of the Chicago later
Ocean writes Experience and obser'
Walton have taught me that more
pounds Of pork can be made from q
less amount Of feed by taking . pig
from its mother at tho age 4 or 6
weeks and combining it in small pen
with plank floor than can be done by
letting it run and root. If pigs are
thus confined they will soon learn
that there is nothing in particular for
them to do only to eat and then lie
and grow fat. If allowed = large
range they will consume more food,
perform much more labor, and con
sequently will not lay on flesh near
as fast. A fine breed of hogs, with I
good supply Of milk and meal while
young, it is not a difficult task .td
make 300 pounds of dressed pork
from pig 7 or 8 months Of age, BY
combining them. I believe that much
can be wasted by breeding hogs and
allowing them too much playroom.
Pigs that are to be kept for breeding,
l think it better to give them a larger
range, but pigs for fattening-why
feed them eighteen months for what
they ought to make at seven or eight
Many farmers miss it think by feed
ing their hogs too little. Often have
I seen men feed a lot Of shoats just
enough to keep them slim for months.
During the time they would not gain
a pound, and I cannot see why every
bushel of corn thus fed is not q total
waste; it is the last half that you feed
Of a porker that makes the profit.

Gala lilies should be kept at all

THE INFLUENCE OF A PRESIDENT

Now, if any man has observed the
influence Of the head man of a cor.
poration, he will understand and ap-
preciate what we are about to say in
regard to the influence of a PRECEDENT.
in molding to himself the men around
him. As is the president of rail-
road, so is every officer and employee,
by rule. The loose or the sound
morals begin at the top, and run
down through the whole. As is the
editor-in-chief of q great newspaper;
' so are the subordinates. Men who
stand at the head of great organiza-
tions or great interests, bring around
them naturally men Of their own
kind, who take their cue in action,
and their tone in character and mo-
tive, from them. Like master, like
man-an old proverb, based upon old
and mature observation. Now, it is
just as impossible to have high-toned
Administration, with low-toned
President, as it is to have a high-ton.
ed household with q loafer at its head.
The thing is unnatural and impossi-
bic. In the next Presidential election.
the people really desire, we believe,
to vote for, and elect, a gentleman
and a statesman-a man who will as
sociate himself in Government onlv,
with gentlemen and statesmen, and
who will send only such to represent
the Government abroad. The politi-
cal and social tone at Washington is
disgustingly low. It does not repre-
sent the people of America. It rep
resents the party politicians of Am
erica, and them only. They are our
bane and our disgrace; and if they
are permitted to hold their influence
through another Administration, we
shall have ourselves to !: blame Dr..
