A good many foolish things have
been said about General Hancock's

that letter has been published, ex-

Mr.. Jesse Aycock, whose place is
west of Lisbon two or three miles, has
the most remarkable field of corn that
we have ever seen. On land of o
seemingly ordinary character, that is
usually relied on for about ten or
twelve bushels Of corn to the acre, he
will gather no less than thirty five
bushels. Competent judges estimate
it. There are others who think it will
yield forty or forty five bushels. This
unusual crop is due to the fact that the
soil has been skillfully cultivated, and
+ the rains have fallen in sufficient guam

of demand will bring the price to

PUTTING A NOTE IN THE WRONG
ENvELoPE.-A lady of rank had re-
ceived the honor of an invitation to
dinner from the Princess Mary Of Teck
for a day when she was engaged to
dine with an old friend. She wrote
two letters-one to the Pincess in her
sweetest manner, acknowledging the
honor, etc; another to her friend, be-
ginning, "Such bore, dear! Fat Ma
~ has invited me to dinner on our
day, and of course l must CO." To
her horror, she learned by, the next
post that her friend had got the letter
for the Princess In her envelope. The
mischief was done, and she went pre-
pared to throw herself at the feet of
her royal hostess, when the Princess
met her with open hands and smiling
face as she said: "Fat Mary is very
pleased to see you, and hopes you
won't find her bore. ~ London

WHO SHALL JUDGE3

Who shall know him by his dress?

Princes fit for something less;
Crnmplcd shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the goldea ore

Satin vests could do no more.

There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God, who counts by souls, not dresses
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.

Oft forgets his fellows then;

That your meanest binds are men;
Men by honor, men by feeling,

In a MANS ennobling name.
There are foam-em broilcrcd oceans,
There are little weed-clad rills;

For to Him all famed distinctions

Telling hands alone are builders
OF a nations wealth or fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned
Fed and fattened on the same;
BY the sweat of others foreheads
Living Only to rejoice.
While the poor man $ outraged freedom
Vainly lifteth up its voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;

While there is a sunny right; lin

The North Pole, as seen by a

been described in this column. A
Baltimore clairvoyant now gives the
following different account: "The
pole is situated on an leland, having
a gradual rise from the waters edge
to about the middle of it. On some
parts oft appear only bare rocks,
on other parts it has an abundant
vegetation About half of it, the
East side, is covered with fruit trees.
In some parts they grow in dense
thickets; in some they grow not so
close together, and have grass thick
ly interspersed among them. The
fruit consists of oranges, lemons,
bananas, cocoanuts, and other tropi-
cal fruits. This part Of the pole is
inhabited by beetles, white and
black ants, grasshoppers, and many
other kinds of insects, all unusually
large; also by many different species

side of the Island the vegetation il

Among the natural products are tbs
