Last fall every 6oly said that it was idle
for any grocery house in this city to bring
here l 500 barrels ii apples, thinking to
sell them, but Tullm~dge & Ball thought
they knew better and acted upon their
own judgment. The result is that they
sold all they ordered and now wish they
had half ~ many more in the cellar. The
tact is, the trade Of these gentlemen, no,
only in apples, but in every other line Of
goods, has become 81. immense as to sur.
pass all reasonable expectations and leave
the public in Amusement. 1t is energy
and business talent that have achieved fo,
the boys their splendid success.

WISHING TO ADvERTIs.
France and Germany.

One OF the most noteworthy and sig
ni6eant events Of the present troub-
lous times in Europe was the recent
speech of Gen. Won Moltke, the great
Prussian military leader, in the Ger
man parliament The debate was on
the war sstimates, which included .
grant for l05 new captaincies, which
Won Noltke advocated AZ a measure OF
great necessity, in view of the com
plcte and colossal work which was be-
ing inaugurated BY France in the re-
organization Of her army, In his re-
marks, Won Moltkc said that he wish
ed for a long peace, but the times did
not permit such hope. On the con-
trary, the day was not far distant
when every government would be
compelled to strain all it, strength for
securing its existence. the reason be-
ing the regretable mistrust Of govern
ments toward each other. He pointed
warningly to France. The French mil
itary budget exceeded that of Gar
many $50, 100000 francs per year;
French journals we're extremely bitter
in their tone; the French army WAS
the pride Of all political parties; and
everything that was granted to the
military received the approval of the
people. He would not say if France
WAS arming with definite purpose,
but he did not believe that peace
would long be maintained. Won
Moltke is prophetic. The victories Of
the French at Jena and Austsriitz
wsre dimnsd by the German tri-
umphs of Gravelotte and Sedan, and
the IhumiliAting conditions imposed
BY the conqnerors have neither been
forgotten nor forgiven.

Too Wet Illinois.

Springfield Telegram, 10Th
The very heavy rains which have
prevailed over large part Of the
state for the past month are beginning
to excite serious apprehension as to
the effect upon the prospective corn
crop. From gentleman who return
ed to the city from Southern Illinois
to-day, it is learned that the earth is
flooded with water in
Gallatin, Saline, White,
Wayne, Clay, Effingham and Shelby
counties. In these counties very
little of the ground has been plowed,
but in q few places, on high land,
where corn WAS got in early, it is up,
but is turned yellow and looks very
sickly. In other parts of these coun-
ties the spring work is in every stage
of preparation from the unbroken
ground to seed rotting in the earth.
In Christian county, as in this county,
Sangamon, the weather has been SO
wet but little ground has been plow-
ed, and almost no sorn planted. In
Mclean considerable amount of corn
has been planted, but the seed has
rotted, and in Livingston the weather
has been such as to prevent plowipg
except on the highest lands. In
w oodford, Tazwell and Logan coun'
ties, all except the highest lands are
submerged, and in Marshall county
but very little corn planting has beer
done. No general report from all
the counties In the state is attAinable
here, but 1t is apparent from the
items supplied that in the whole o
the corn region as high up as Living
ston crop is seriously endangered. l
the rain should cease now it would b,
impossible to plant in less than tel
days and then the immature. cor,
would be in great danger Of early fros
in the fall. South ofAere the damage
would be less, as the season is NOR
prolonged, but north Of this line th'
risk would of course be much greater

Why Printers Die Young

a writer lulls accounts for the rea-
son why printers die young, and why
they are continually tramping from
place to place.in search OF peace and
quictude. He says1that working for
forty editors and scores of authors,
every one of whom is as sensitive as
a sore thumb and as lively and interest,"
ing as hornet, no wonder the print
ers die young, and only pachyderma-
tous, grizzly, mulish specimens get
their share of life. The writer wishes
he could offer himself as an awful
example of the perils which environ
the man who NEEDLES with cold type.
A thoroughly trained printer should
have = stepmother and then a stepfa-
ther, and have been bound out to a
tanner, and then have married scold-
ing wife and lived in q smoky house
and have had family of babies who
were afflicted with the collie. He
should have added to all this dicipline
a thorough knowledge Of science and
law, languages, theology, history and
biography. If, in addition, he has a
vicIous-looking countenanoe and an
amiable disposition, he may stand
seme chance with these authors and
editors; but tho probabilities are, af
ter all, that they will worry him te
death. This picture will have . very
depressing effect upoH ambitious boys
who are anxious to learn the cart pre-.
servative of arts The picture, how
ever, is tolerably correct ne.-E2
