-ONE Captain Lewis Gerhard

ONE Captain Lewis Gerhardt
Goldsmith has just had built by a
Boston shipwright boat in which he
proposes to sail around the globe.
Captain Goldsmith is Dane. who
has followed the sea from boyhood.
His boat, which is called the Uncle
SAM" is tiny craft, just eighteen
feet and one-half inch over all in
length and about six feet three inches
beam, about one foot shorter than the
craft in which Captain Grape, of New
Bedford, crossed the Atlantic. The
Uncle Sam is rugged with an extra
tall mast and has extremely large
sails for so small q vessel. Captain
Goldsmith's wife will accompany
him. The start will be made next
month, the Uncle Sam hoping to pass
through the Suez Canal about Sep
TENDER and to do the circumnavi-
eating in about two years. Captain
Goldsmith is 40 years old and his
wife 80.

4 "A CLERGYMAN in New York
has been preaching on mistakes in
courtship, In which, with great encr-
~, he condemns too much small
talk between lovers. We judge from
his remarks as they run that he
doesn't believe that ice cream and
variegated neckties and gold-headed
canes are proper things to catch girls
with; nor that store frizzes and four
dollar feathers aud diamond rings are
suitable things with which to catch
boys. The reverend gentleman, no
doubt, has the strongest points of the
argument, but he will have dread
fully uphill time of it preaching the
modern small things out of the girls
and boys. They grow up SO. ana
seem to like it ever so much better
than anything else in the world
They get married under the influence
Of II, and they 60 in pursuit Of a
divorce in . mstter-of-fact sort of
way, a. though that was what they
got married for. A little wholesome
preaching at this season of the year
may scare q few Of them, but they
will recover in time to resume before
the ice cream season has fairly set in.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

We make the following extract
upon the condition of crops through
out the United States, from a special
report just received from the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington ::
The crop Of the country, taken as
. whole, presents . promise at least
3 per cent. below the average. The
New England States reach a full
average. In tho Middle States con-
ditions of growth were very unfavor-
uble; fall drought prevented the
seed from obtaining an early start.
Very little or no injury from freezing
ia this section where the crop was
protected BY snow. Here also the
drill is in very extensive use, and
drilled wheat is far less liable to
winter injuries than the broadcast.
Further south, in the Atlantic Coast
States, injuries from freezing are more
generally noted, and the lack Of pro-
tecting snow. Severa! correspond
cnts in this region report the coldsst
winter on record in their localities.
south of Maryland the use of the
drill is quite limited, and the broad
cast fields were but i'll prepared to
resist the unusual strain of frost.
In the more southern portions com
plants Of yust are heard. Some un-
satisfactory experiments Of wheat
culture on tide lands and on sandy
uplands Of South Carolina near the
sea are reported. In this State the
Missouri yellow wheat, received from
the Department, headed out in March,
. thing unprecedented even in that
southern climate. Georgia alone of
this section reports condition above
average.
In all the Gulf States and South
ern inland States drought and cold
we're especially severe upon the broad
cast fields Of this region. Kentucky
and West Virginia appear to have
had more snow than usual, and hence
their fields suffered less from the un-
Usually low temperatures.
North of the Ohio there are more
complaints Of injuries from freezing
in Michigan than in the other States
If this region where the snow was
more general. Wisconsin reports
very remarkable increase IN her acre
age and = high condition of the
crop. This great wheat region now
promises a very large and fine yield.
Around Lacrosse, Wis, the Odessa
variety has shown great vitality in
meeting the demands Of the climate,
and 10 showing up remarkably we'll.
West Of the Mississippi the small
crops of winter wheat in Minnesota
and Nebraska are not remarkably
promising. Kansas and Missouri
arc also below average; but Iowa,
with largely increased acreage, pre-
sents very promising condition.
Saunders, Nebraska, reports that no
fields planted after August have stood
the severity of the winter. In many
counties the preservation Of the crop
is ascribed to snow, and in many
others its loss or injury 10 ascribed to
it, absence. Kansas and Missouri
complain of droughts. Reno county,
Kansas, in the Arkansas Valley, had
hundreds Of acres destroyed by
Qrssshoppers last fall, and was
troubled over q rumOr of new
species Of army worm.
The reports from the Pacific Coast
indicate q high condition of the
growing crop generally.
Three or four counties in our en-
tire wheat region note tho presence of
the Hessian fly, but damages so far
are quite inconsiderable.

removing to Reno. Last Sunday
morning, ON answering ring of his
house bell, he found a lot of straw
berries at his door, and the following
day . whole ~agon-load Of pro-
visions was sent to his house. The
reverend gentleman cannot even
guess who the generous unknown Is.

A Man Killed BY a Rat.

About three months ago Lewis
Edwards, a we'll known citizen, far
mer and stock dealer of Conersville,
was bitten in the hand by rat
while taking corn from crib. The
hand swelled, the poison spread
through the system. and after pro-
longed and acute suffering Mr.. Ed
wards died on Sunday evening. His
age was sixty seven years.-Indlan-

an attempt upon her husbands life.
She was urged to make confession

The report concludes as follows: :
1.-TWO important facts remain to be
stated. A very serious embarrass-
ment to the enforcement of the laws
of the United States has resulted
from the institution OF numerous I'M
just criminal prosecutions in the State
Courts against officers of the United
States by violators of the internal
revenue laws and their friends.
9. The State officers and State Courts,
while often invoked to arrest and
punish United States officers for
alleged offenses, have rarely ever
taken any step to arrest or indict per-
sons guilty of assaulting or murder
ing United States officers" This is
truly depIorable evidence against a
section which is laboring still further
to cripple the Federal Government in
the interest of the new rebellion.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 81.
The report of Commissioner Raum
as to the matter of illicit distilling
makes very bad showing for the
Confederate States. In fact, it shows
that almost all the crime, the fraud
and violence involved in this illegal
business are confined to the lately
rebellious States, where the Briga-
diers say there is much loyalty and
unionism prevalent. Here is sum-
mary of this report:

A large and appreciative audience was pres
ent at DR.. Bolles lecture in Williston Church
last evening. AS the lecture was illustrated it
is Unnecessary to be present to fully appreciate it.
DR.. Bolles evinced in his lecture last evening a
thorough and comprehensive knowledge of his
subject. Geology is science which unfortu-
nately very few persons have an extensive
knowledge of. Its beauties, the vast regions of
conceptions the study of it spreads before our
minds was fully set forth by the learned lee
turer. He described in graphic language, il
Illustrated by means of the microscope and
magic lantern, the wonderful works of the
microscopic animals and plants which build
our rocks He showed how the vast coal beds
of Pennsylvania and the great coral islands of
the Pacific ocean was formed by those myster-
Gus, wonderful agents. The formation of
glaciers and icebergs, the beauties of nature as
exhibited in the design of an infinite Creator
were wildly pictured. DIR. Bolles is an enthu-
Siastin his chosen study. The intelligent aud
fence which listened to him last evening caught
the fire of his enthusiasm, and left with q
higher conception and better knowledge of
that intensely interesting study-the science of
geology.

Speaking of Mary f. Eastman, who will APP
pear tonight at City Hall, in the Grand Army
Course, the Cleveland Herald says:
''Her address was wonderful exhibition of
quiet oratory clear, logical and convincing
rising at times to remarkable eloquence, and
full of the orators art, the power OF persua-
sion. 1t was a rare treat to listen to her, and
people accustomed to hearing public speakers
could hardly recall an occasion in which they
were so carried away by an impromptu effort"
HON. GEORGE R. VENDING.
This celebrated speaker will "eply to Inger-
SOL at City Hall, Monday evening next. The
st. Louis Evangelist says of him;
''With burning eloquence and convincing
power he showed the antogonism of Ingersoll
to good government, to the interests of COM
merce, and to the existence of happy homes.
We have heard many fine lecture in our day.
but, in truth, having heard this one twice, we
are constrained to say, that for breadth Of
view, clearness of analysis, force Of logic, pu-
rity of diction, and extent of erudition, we
have never before heard it equaled.'
