The WHEAT CRoP.-Our Maryland, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia exchanges concur
generally in the conclusion that the wheat
crop is not nearly so promising as several
weeks ago. Among the causes operating
against it are the rust, and fly and the
heavy continuous rains, the latter having
beaten the wheat down where the growth
was very heavy. However, with good
weather from now until harvest at least a
fair crop in the States named is anticipated.

FLORIDA LIZARDS.

During a sojouln in Waldo, Florida. Mr..
Henry Gilman has studied the characters
and habits of a gr' at variety oflizards and
in brief communication to the American
Naturalist, states some of the results of bis
observations. One point which he has
been enabled to determine is the posst g.
sion by the lizards of Florida of the power
of Characterization" or of changing
coler. The author states positively that
the lizards of Florida possess this power iD
a remarkable degree. Thus, he has seen
small, yellcwish- brown lizard, on quit,
ting the ground, instantly assume the dull
gray of weather-beaten fence.rail,
along which it gIided. Passing under
some olive.tinted foliage, it next adopted
that color, which was succeeded by a
bright green. as the animal reached and
rested under the grass and leaves OF like
shade. The original yeIlowish brown
color was again assumed On the lizard 1e-
turning to the ground Each of these
changes was almost instantaneous, and tie
entire series could not have occupied
much more than one,qusrter of minute
of time.-Popular Science Monthly.

JUDGE RIvES AND THE PREACH
Err.
scottsville (va.) Courier:

N
Judge Alex. Riyes, when a young man,
saw good old preacher riding down
the Monticello road (then single track }
A boy, with long cross cut saw lying
crossways on his horse, was also coming
down the same narrow road, some distance
in the rear of the preacher. The boys
horse ran away, and as he was approach
ing the plous divine, the latter sprang
from his horse and scrambled up preci-
pice. Whereupon the Judge exclaimed:
aBless my life, Mr.--, you have told
me that you were ready, willing and
anxious to de- why then struggle 30 hard
to get out Of the way Of that horse and
sawp
"Well, Mr.. Rives." the good man re-
Piled, II am anxious to die, but DO not
wish to be sawed to DEATH"
This circumstance reminds US OF the
following from the Courier Journal.
"If man is going to the woods to COM
nit suicide, and a bull suddenly gives
kase. the chances are that he will run for
bis life. Of course he will run. He IL
going to the woods to commit suicide and
not to be killed by bull. Besides, do
you suppose a man wants to have his last
moments disturbed BY apersonal difficulty
that may cost him his life?"

HOW HE WAS PLEASED.

The Madison Recorder tells the follow~
ing story Of "a colored man made happy
I"Old Ned Jones, colored man living
near Moseley Hall, is substantial Demo-
crat, and has voted with the white people
ever since emancipation, his enthusiasm on
more than one occasion leading him to
walk distance of fifteen miles in order to
enter his protest, in the way of ballot,
against Radical rule. Last week old Ned
was in great trouble. He is blacksmith,
and for many years past had earned his
daily bread in the shop on the Sullivan
place, and the sale of the personal proper
| ty of the Sullivan estate took place last
week. Old Ned was present aud saw his
beloved tools put up by the auctioneer and
bid off by Judge K. M. Witherspoon, AID
be no doubt felt that he was ruined man,
his only means of support for himself and
family being taken from him; and despair
seemed to settle on the old mans face.
Imagine his feeling then, when Judge
Witherspoon said to him, We'll, Ned, you
are e cd and faithful workman, and you
have stood b. your white friends ever
since you were free man, therefore l
present you with this enlire set Of ols in
behalf Of your Democratic friends To
old Ned it was transit from darkness to
light, from deepest detection to perfect
Joy. A smile broke ever his ebony coun-
lenance witch was delightful to behold;
and he went home that night, without
d ,ubt. the happiest man in Madison coun>
ty. A party Of Democrats present came
forward, and, insisting upon being let into
the charitable donation, made up the entire
cost Of the tools except one pro rata share,
aad handed it to Judge Witherspoon."
Doubtless "Old Ned" thinks that tlere is
considerable difference between that sort
Of conduct and the mythical Radical
promises of forty acres and mule to the
"poor African"

NOTES ON FlSHsCULTURE.

The one great difficulty met with in
Matching the striped bass is, according to
an intelligent correspondent of Forest and
Stream, the fact that spawners Of this
species are very rarely found. About four
years ago, we are informed, few ripe
'rock>fsh" (striped bass were found in
tie Roanoke River, North Carolina, and
about 100000 young fish were hatched
from their spawn. One reason assigned
for the diminution OF this fish is the fact
that they are marketed before they reach
maturity. Prof Baird favors tie enact>
ment of law pr )hibting the marketing of
these fish when less than twelve inches
long. Striped bass frequently attain
weight of sixty and eighty pounds; and it
has been held that they do not spawn un-
til they attain weight Of about twenty
pounds. The same CORRESPONDENT cites, as
an evidence of the success of salmon-
propagation, the recent capture of nine
pound salmon in the Delaware. The fish
was California salmon-a variety with
which the Delaware, Potomac, Sueuehan>
ma, and ether rivers, were supplied few
years ago. 1t is supposed they return in
five or six years, though difference in the
temperature of the water, currents, and
other conditions, may accelerate or retard
the return. Over 100000 eggs of Cali-
fornia salmon were shipped last fall to
New Zealand, where they nearly all
arrived in excellent condi:ion.-Popular

A CHURCH MILITANT.

The church militant in New Zealand is
also the church triumphant. 1t is a
Wesleyan church, and a few weeks ago
the New Zealanders, by way Of showing
their appreciation of the missionaries,
killed and devoursd four of them, where
upon the head Of the mission, without
waiting to appeal to Great Britain, organ
,sed what was left of his forces and pro-
ceeded against the man-eaters. The ex-
pedition was successful. Houses and
canoes we're burned, and seventy or eighty
of the heathen were killed. The natives
apologised for their unhealthy appetites,
offered to make pecHniary indemnify for
the damage done to the cause of religion,
and gave a site for a school house. They
we're thoroughly humbled, and found that
d Wesleyan with his blood up was good
for any number of pagans. Altogether
this is a novel way of propagating the
gospel in foreign pats, but it proved eff,
iectual, and the New Zealanders are in a
more receptive frame of mind than ever
before. They have concluded to change
their diet, and henceforth missionary
baked, roast or broiled, and Sunday
school children on papilotte' will not be
on the menu of self-supporting New
Zealanders. Sydney Smith it was who
hoped missionary Bishop would agree"
with the cannibals to whom he was sent.
The reverend wit would have no occasion
now for such bensdiction upon one sent
to New Zealand.

The following lines addressed to Lady
Byron, we've considered by Sir Walter Scott
the finest production of Byron.
There is q mystic thread of life,
30 dearly wreathed with mine alone,
That destiny's relentless knife
At olce must sever both or none.
There ID form on which these eyes
Have often gszed with fond delight;
By day that form their Joy supplies,
And dreams restore 1t through the right.
There 10 voice whose tones inspire,
Such thrills of rapture through my
breast
I would not hear seraph-choir,
Unless that voice could Join the rest.
There Is face whose bushes tell
Affections tale upon the cheek;
But palid, at one fond farewell,
Proclaims more love than words can
speak.
There is q lip which mine hath pressed,
And none had ever pressed before
1t vowed to make me sweetly bless'd,
And miDe-mine only pressed 1t more.
There is bosom all my own
Hath pillowed oft this aching head;
A mouth which smiles on me alone,
An eye, whose tears with mine are shed
There are two hearts, whose movements
thrill
To unison so closely sweet |
That pulse to pulse, responsive still
That both must heave or cease Ito beat.
There are two souls, whose equal flow,
In gentle streams so calmly run,
Thst when they psrt-they part !-ah no
They cannot part-theee souls are one.

Mn. BLAiNH's effort to fire the Northern
b art Was little more, than failure. After
previous notice and, much advertising, he
succeeded in drawing large audience,
most OF whom were disappointed; for he
was neither violent enough for the Radicals
nor fair enough; for conservatives. The
factis thai Mr.. Blaine has mistaken the
temper Of the country. The day for the
bloody shirt has passed. General Garfield
took the wind out Mr.. Blaine's sails When,
the evening before Mr.. Blaine spoke, he de
slared % that the man who would attempt
to get up political excitement on old sec
tionar issues, would find himself without
the support of the country" We believe
that General Garfield is right; and we
thank God that the day for sectional hate is
rapidly passing away. It's false to charge
that the Southern people are disloyal to the
Government, or that they have more of the
spirit Of injustice in their composition than
belongs 70 mankind in general. The burden
OF Mr.. Blaine's complaint Ia that the Re-
publican party has lost its control over the
negro voters in the South, upon whom 1t
nferred the right of suffrage.
Mr.. Blaine cannot remedy that evil, II 50
he ignores it. Every year that they remain
free from the tyranny OF oath bound leagues
ard the intimidation of fierce leaders Of
their ewn race, who were encouraged by
promise Of Federal support, the mass Of
tie negroes will follow the bent of their in
eiinstions, and will actin concert with TIE
Southern whites. The color line is broker

Key West Key, under the head of "The

from time to time mentioned the poisonous
water and dead fish in our bay, giving its

floating like tufts of cotton over the sea.
On Monday and Tuesday the water was

not until Wednesday did the dead fish ap>
pear in sight. The stratas of dark reddish
water passed through our island channels,

these dead fish approached our wharves,
the stencil became almost intolerable, and
many plans were attempted and suggested
to keep them in the tide water. Had this
occurred in the heat of summer, a plague
must have followed. 1t is even yet feared.
The fish are dying in our harbor, and no
