Small Diplomacy.
London Wesk.l

h.I
Among the many anecdotes apropos OF the
recent negotiations current in the world of
clubs there is story going which illustrates
the old proverb about the disadvantage of
combining inaccuracy of statement with
shortness OF memory. During the height of
the ministerial crisis an eminent Russian
diplOmatist was going about everywhere
assuring his English friends that the terms
of peace put forward by his government
were wonderfully moderate, and that there
was only one point to which England could
possibly take exception. AS in duty bound
the depositary of this diplomatic confidence
begged to be informed what the point in
question was, and was made acquainted with
its purport under the pledge of secrecy.
These confessions were repeated to half a
dozen confidapts, who in due course of time
met together and naturally began to boast
that they were in possession, on the very
best authority, of the terms of peace as well
as of the solitary point about which difficult
ty might be anticipated. AS of course each
confidant believed himself TO be the only
person acquainted with the secret, they soon
commenced to dispute as to its precise terms,
and it soon appeared that the diplomatist
had. through lapse of memory, given each
one of his confidential friends completely
different version of the single condition
which could not be absolutely relied upon
to command the approval of England.

The Religion We Need.

An exchange thus expresses it: 1--WE want
a religion that banishes small measures from
the bridesmaids counter, pebbles from cotton
bags, sand from sugar. chicory from coffee,
alum from bread and water from milk cans
The religion which is to save the world will
not put all the big strawberries at the top
and all the little ones at the bottom. 1t will
not make one half pair of shoes OF good
leather and the other half of shoddy, so that
the first shall rebound to the makers credit
and the second to his cash. 1t will not put
Jeuvin's stamp on Jenkins kid gloves; nor
make Paris bonnets In the back room of a
Boston milliner's shop; nor let piece of
velvet that processes to measure twelve yards
come to an untimely end at eleven and three
quarters. 1t does not put bricks at So a
thousand into chimneys it contracts to build
into floors that have paid for hard pine, nor
leave yawning cracks in closets where boards
ought to ioin"

The Incoming wheat Crop.

Illinois Agricultural STATISTICS.
The condition of winter wheat is generally
good, and many of the principal fall wheat
counties report the most flsttering promise
of the growing crop. The weather since
seeding has been unusually warm, with fire.
quent showers and very propitious for the
most rapid growth. The growing grain has
been but little injured by insects or other
unfavorable conditions. Some localities re-
port having been visited with the Hessian
fiy and chinch bugs and a few correspondents
express fear of jointing, on account of rank
growth. The favorable results attending the
growing OF winter wheat the past two years
has created unusual interest in its cultiva-
ton. Many of the theories concerning the
causes OF failure for series of years to grow
fair crop of winter wheat in
certain localities have been ex-
ploded by the aboundant harvests
realized the last two years on lands supposed
to be exhausted of the plant food necessary
for successful wheat culture. The acreage of
wheat, as reported by assessors, is somewhat
less than the estimates made by the statisti-
clan of the national bureau of agriculture,
and published elsewhere in this report. The
assessors returns show the acreage in wheat
for the state, which includes spring and win
ter, as follows: 1873, 2,55S, $50 acres; 1874,
2, 433. $50 acres; 1875, 200, 275 acres 1876,
1924, 224 acres. This department estimates
the crop for 1877 at ,977, 745 acres. The area
of winter wheat for the coming crop, as
shown in accompanying table, Is 2,032, S43
acres; an increase of 303, SAT acres, or IL per
cent, as compared with the 1877 area of
1,729,2 acres. Assuming that the acreage
Of spring wheat will be no less than In 1877,
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-02-27

the total acreage OF the next QS78) spring
and winter wheat crop of the state Will be
at least 2,2S1, 1892 acres; as compared with
81, 745 acres in 1877. an increase of 303, SAT
acres, a fraction over Is per cent.
CONDITION OF THE GROWING CROP.
Twenty-three counties report an average
condition, 10 counties per cent above, IA
counties per cent. above, Is counties 15
per cent above,6 counties 25 per cent. above,
IA counties 10 per cent. above, counties 20

IL to IL above, and only from 20 to 25 per
cent below an average, and 6 counties make

ACREAGE, AS COMPARED WITH 1877 crop.
One county reports an increase of lbs per
cent, 1 county 100 per cent. increase, IL
counties SIS to 50 per cent. increase, IL
counties 80 to so per cent. increase, IS
counties from Is to 25 increase; 81 counties
from / to 10 increase, 5 counties less acre
age tnan last year, and IL do not report the
acreage.

rHErwENrY.sEcoND OF FEBRUARY.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Pale Is the February sky,
And brief the middas s sunny hours;
The wind-Swept foreSs seems TO sigh
For the sweet time ofleaves and flowers.
Yet has no month prOuder day,
Not even when the summer brO0ds
D or meadows in their fresh array,
Or autumn tints the glowing woods.
For this chill season now again
Brings, in its annual round, the morn
When, greatest of the sons of men,
Our g.OrlOus Washington was born
10. where, beneath an icy shield,
Calmly the mighty Hudson towst
By snow clad fell and frozen field
Broadening the lOrdly river goes.
the widest storm that sweeps through space
And rcnds the oak with sudden force,
Can raise no ripple on his face,
Or slacken his majestic course.
Thus. mid the wreck of thrones, shall live
Unmarried, undimmed, our heroS fame,
And years succeeding years shall give
Increase of honors to his name.

Sharp Practice.

A common subject of comment is, that a Catholic church is rarely seen in perfectly finished state. Usually one of its two towers or belfries is only carried up to less than half its designed height, or some other prominent detail is left incomplete. This is the case not only in the United States, but also throughout Mexico and the West Indies. The reason for it is characteristic one. When a church is finished, it has to pay a heavy bonus to the See of Rome, and an annual tax thereafter. To evade this payment, the bishops have the churches left incomplete. Instead of supporting the pope from their own revenues, they prefer doing it by begging Peters Pence from servant girls.
