DIVERSITY OF CRoPs.-Recent events tend
to show that the system, of exclusive devotion
to wheat raising. which has prevailed among
farmers in some sections of the west, is rap:dly
drawing to close The land from eontinu-
Gus cropping is giving way under the con-
slant pressure, aud besides it is found in
various localities that other articles will yield
more valuable returns In California for ex-
ample, one acre of vines or fruit will Weld
more profit than two acres OF wheat The
man who produces but one crop and buys
everything else consumed win always be poor
Rotation and diversity Of crops are necessary
to the success of the agriculturist, not only in
the south, but in all sections of this country.

Death of MRS. spencer G. Jones.

IT'S our sad duty to chronicle the death Of
this most estimable lady. After lingering
and painful illness Of many months she has
passed from among us like a delicate flower
withered by an untimely and premature frost
There are lives so pure, so unspotted from the
world that 10 praise their virtues is like re-
touching the hues of the lily Eulogy fails to
add a brighter or a hoier regard for their
memories. We are content to recall some
half-forgotten world sweet smile which
brings hack again the image of the dear de-
parted one. Endeared as she was to the whole
community by her sweet and amable dispo-
siton-her gentle, winning manners, and
charitable ministrations to the poor and needy,
how few who gathered around her last resting
place when the solemn words ''dust 10 DUST
ascended on high did not breathe a fervent,
heartfelt prayer for the sainted dead? The
| prattlng, unconscious babe in its gleeful in
nocence, the bereaved husband, the heart
broken mother, affectionate brothers, and the
sympathetic grief of kind loving friends,
presented a most touching, heartrending pic
ture. In a scene like this, words fail TO por-
tray the deep, the terrible agony which weighs
upon the heart.
| We offer cur sincere sympathy to the family
in their tried aliction, and that they may
find strength and comfort in the thought that
the Lord has so willed it.

President Houston brought Santa Anna from

to Frederick City and Washington, where he
was delivered into the hands of President
Andrew jackson, as an umpire to be dealt
with as the Hero of New Orleans might see fiji

while in Frederick City, in January 1881,
Santa Anna was placed in the guard house,
near the German Reformed Church for safe
keeping. The house was recently torn.down.
The United States Senate passed bill on

SECRETARY BRIsTOw AND TIE PREsI>
DENT.-If President Grants suspicious
should bring him into open collision
with the Secretary Of the Treasury
the latter has a strong precedent 10
support him in a refusal to relinquish
his office. General Grant himself was
once 4 cabinet officer who incurred
the displeasure Of his official chief, but
I've did not feel called upon TO resign
any more than his predecessor, Sec
retarv Stanton, who followed Senator
Summers advice TO " stick" Presi-
dent Grant can suspend cabinet Off
GERS, but cannot remove them, and he
will be wary of sending Mr.. Bristow's
case TO the senate for decision, when
his only offence is too much zeal in
pursuing the whiskey ring, and too
little consideration for the implicated
private secretary of the President. If
there should be a quarrel between
General Grant and Mr. Bristow it
will be quite safe for the Secretary to
defy the President and " stick"
