CLOUD BANNERS OF TIE ALPS.

Among the most exquisite scenes
which delight the eye of the European
/ traveller are those wonderful rosc-colored
cloud banners, floating from the Alpine
cliffs But it is only. in the sunlight
that Nature hangs out these beautiful
tokens. SO il is only in the glow OF

that nature reveals those physical
cloud banners, the "rosy check and
"cherry lip" TO praise which every
poet CT the earth has invoked the Muse
TO aid him. But they are as rare a. the

charm, resorts TO French art and rouge.
The effect is similar TO that which would
be produced by substituting auctl0neers'
flags for the delicate glowing cloud-ban
ners OF the Alps. If woman would AID
Nature instead of adopting art, would
seek health instead OF vainiy trying 10

the greatest charm of womanhOoi-
health-bul she would avert much mis-
cry both from herself aud others. DR..

The Corn CrOp.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The Statistic.
ian OF the Department OF Agriculture,
in his December report, makes the corn
crop only two per cent. short of the great
crop of last year, and fifty per cent.
greater than the crop of 1874. The ag-
gregate, subject TO possible future revis.
ion, is l,295, 600, 900 bushels. Less than
one per cent. of the crop is raised in
New England, scarcely six per cent. in
the Middle States, twenty in the South
ern, forty four in the Ohio basin, and
twenty-nlne west Of the Mississippi.
The product of the South Is 10000 0G0
bushels greater than that of last year
that of NcwEng land 100000 bushels
greater and there is less in the Middle
and Western States. The States pro-
ducing less than in 1875 arc New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, and those on the
Atlantic coast from New York TO North
Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, Mich.
gan, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. Illinois
is credited with nearly $50. 600, 900 bush
els, and Iowa with $4,000 900. Next
in rank are Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and
Kansas. These six States produce six-
tenths of the total prodact. Tennessee,
which once held the highest rank in the
country, now stands first in the South
crn States, followed by Texas, Alabama
and Georgia. In quality the crop is su-
perior to Its predecessor.
There has been an increase in area in
all sections, aggregating about 1000. 600
acres, the advance being very slight in
the Cult States from: Alabama to LoHisi-
ana, and scarcely percepiible in the
Middle States. Il is largest west Of the
Missouri. Wisconsin shows the heavi-
est rate OF increase in the Northwest,
and Georgia in the South. The average
price OF corn per bushel is highest IN
Massachusetts,, and lowest in Kansas,
nincty-fvc and tweniy-thrce cents re
spec;vely.
