Respecting the outlook for the crops
in the Western States, we extract the
following from the Chicago correspon.
deuce Of the New York Daily Bulletin:
1.-THE weather still continues cold. But
the absence OF rain has enabled the farm
ers to 20 on and finish their ploughing,
and "trip made through the great corn
belts OF Illinois discloses the fact that
for miles it is simply a string Of corn
planters. The corn crop, from present
appearances, will all be In the ground
this week, which is at least two weeks
earlier than last season.
"From Kansas the wheat has suffered
from rust and also dry weather. The
corn is all up and growing finely.
"When we come tr the great States Of
Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, devoted
as they are now 80 largely to the raising
OF spring wheat, we find no climatic in
fluences operating against Il; no insect 10

made much growth, holds its own we'll

previous seasons.

PORTSMOUTH, O., May IS.

RjIloI Inteilisencer.
It really has become passably warm,
and 1t would seem that III winter is
among The things that were. There Is
some rust in the wheat %hereabouts; but
that ia Of no great consequence II we have
a good corr crop. Corn is the great crop
throughout scioto, Pike and Ross coun-
ties, where II has been raised from the
first settlements, and will probably be
until the last cattle, hogs, horses and men
are all corned and millions OF bushels
sent of to corn other people and things;
but it Is largely sent in whisky and cattle.
We sent a fair proportion Of u peo-
pie to see the crowd and hear the music
and other noise at Cincinnati last week.

joying themselves as they passed home

be lasting.
The redistricting Of the state, is one:of
the vilest Of gerrymanders, leaves our
district still Republican, and appearances
are that il will be more so. The redia.
tricting ofthe state merely for party pur.
poses, when there Is no pretenee Of a
change Of population will not strike the
common mind iayorably. The people
are not politicians. They have no taste
for movements merely for party purpo.
SEES, and they do not like the partisan
character OF our last Legislature and exc
cutive. They see that they have done
many things they ought not tohaye done,
and left undone many things they ought
to have done. The most Of the
winter has been spent IN turning
ont good officers and putting inexperien-
ced ones in their places, while what Of
real business they have tried to do they
have muddled muehly. The canals are
left 10 go literally TO grass. They have
done good service, and II they no more
than pay expenses hereafter, II they are
kept they will continueto develop some
industries and keep up the taxable
values Of 3 larger area in the

ought to complain. The present action

A fine example Of courteous rebuke
was the answer ola distinguished English
navy officer to a hasty friend.
The late Commodore Rollins was once
sailing with an American commodore who
used often to insult his inferior officers,
and apologize to them aiterward. Alter
such an insult had been offered to him,
Rollins was called to the cabin Of the com.
modore, who said:
al am a man Of very passionate nature
and have treated you as l should NOT
have done, and now | wish to apologize

THE FREScH POPULAR CELEBRATION

ment OF the Paris exhibition opening, at
midnight after his letter was sent of went
out into the streets to see how the people
warmed over the event. There wa q
marked contrast. The formal dullness
OF the day was utterly forgotten in pres
euce OF the ardent, Joyous, magnetic
French people, who filled all the streets
as lift were a carnival day, and who lit up
all the buildings in the great city with
magical splendor. The government had
illuminated its offices, but the great work
was a spontaneous popular inspiration,
whereby every dealer in Chinese and
Japanese lanterns was bought out, and
the b~oulevards blazed with ~parti.colored
glory, lighting the scene SO high that the
flags which remained floating were more
finely displayed than in the day. Where
the lanterns fell short, the gas jets abound.
ed. SmalIey notes that it was not merely
the great avenue which were thus illumi-
mated, but the high and narrow streets
opening out OF them, where the poor
lived:-
"You soon grew familiar with the noon.

Paris had clothed herself for the night"
The celebration by the people, in brief,

says Smalley, "as the solemn pomps OF

experienced observer Of demonstrations
Of all sorts. The public order Of the city

ONE Of the doctors Of wetuel county
who feels himself sggrieved by the Mes.
snSer's recent article on "Quacks," writes
an abusive answer to that paper, foil OF
the quack spirit, laying the article on one
Of the diplomaed physicians, using the fol-
lowing language:
az have no diploma, and / am not
ashamed to own Il. l will buck what l
know against what be knows at any time"
As a general rule, and quite " safe one
to Judge by, the more Of a quack a man
really is in any business or profession,
the more coucsited and boMstiul he Is OF
his attachments, and the more willing he
is to "buck" against people who know a
great deal more. We think, therefore,
that 1t can be pretty safely said Of the
writer that he isa quack.
