A wit, in speaking of an ill-mannered

he was ever polite enough to bow "What is

reply. -,

Tn New York Tribune publishes the fol-
lowing: T~heAposition of Gen. Hancock in
the midst of all this sCrimmage between the
mourners is very much like that of the "eight
day clock' in one of Hon. Chauncey Depew's
stories. At a funeral in a country village, as
Mr.. DePew relates, the mournerS were con-
gregated in the small "pest room," hich was
quite dark, when one of the neighbors, a
taIkative little old woman, came sliding in
and sat beside the widow. Her eyes soon
getting accustomed to the dimness, she espied
what she thought was a new article of furni
ture. 'My sakes!" said she where'd We get
that eisht-day clock? ave hain't got no
eight-day clock" said the widow. "Why,
yes you have, too; there It's in the corner
"That amt no eight-day clock" grunted the
widow "that's Joe we stood him up IN the
corner to make room for the mourners.'
This is Hancock's funeral, but they seem to
have "stood him up in the corner to make
room for the mournerS.'

1t is proper that tH5 American people should
be aware that it is asserted on high authority
that before the election was held OH Tuesday
last, and while all the important members of
the Cabinet were absent from Washington,
the records Of the various departments of the
Executive Government were overhauled by
unofficial persons who appeared in the several
departments bearing the authority of the
chiefs of those departments respectively.
This is a thing unprecedented in our history
1t cannot have been done without a purpose
Now what was that purpose?
Suppose the President, cashier and direc-
tors of a bank all absent fishing, shooting or
making stump-speeches, and suppose that
during their absence strangers to the bank
should appear armed with authority from
them to rummage over the accounts and make
free with the books of the bank? What
wonld be the natural inference as to the
President, cashier and directors?
Let it be remembered that the achives G,
the Government covered four previous RepuD-
lican Administrations as well as the Admins
tration of President Hayes, and that the ac-
counts of the nation have never been exam
med by experts or officials not affiliated with
the party III power since the year 1860.
We are now within three weeks of the re-
assembling of Congress. When Congress
meets. one of the first and most obvious
duties OF that body Will be to ascertain
whether any departments Of the Executive,
and if so, which departments, were visited
during the absence-nOt on Official business
of the heads of these departments, by persons
armed with authority from those heads tc
overhaul the papers in the ach;ves. In in,
vestigatins this subject Congress shnu!t
direct its attention to the Department OF War
but it should by no means confine its atten'
ton to that department. 1t is probable thai
officials of standing and character in tho
various departments will be found - have
protected themselves by insisting that w.!
fed copies should be gwen them OF the III.

The Fargo Argus supplies some Interesting
particulars of the result of this years opera
lions on the now celebrated Grandin farm Ill
Dakota: "During the season OF 1850 the man
aeement cultivated 5,92l acres Of wheat, the
total Weld of which amounted 70 l37,2el
bushels, or an average Of % bushels and 10
mounds to the acre. In addition to this there
were 3O4 acres of oats. which produced 1920
bushels, and al acres Of barley, the crop OF
which vas $500 bushels. The GraTIdlns vii!
break new land for the leXt crop TO the ex-
tent of 1850 acres, giving q total area Tor

farm of 10000 acres on the Red River OF the
North, and the stock farm at AayvlI'e :, COW o",

acres. As a slight commentary upon Tue
question. sDoes bonanza farming pay? II may
he mentioned that $1,000 bushels OF wheat
will pay all the expenses of the institution
for The wear; the other productions-oats ana

CnIifOrnia's Wheat Crop

The wheat crop Of 1880, as far as AT present
known gives 3,217,00O acres under crop, and
81, $50, 900 c~entals, or 55,9l6,OOO bushels as
the result of that crop.
1t exceeds by about 100000 centals the
highest estimate of a crop yet obtained Ill
California-that is, it shows an excess for
1880 of about so per cent. over any other
wear. Should there be NJ exaggerati0n in the
sources from whence these estimates are
obtained, we would after allowing, say b
500, 900 centals for, seed and waste, 4,5Oo,-
600 for consumption and 100000 for WHISKY
and other purposes, have 25,65O,O 900 %centals,
or over l,2S,,500 tons for export. This
would he double what we ever exported be-
fore, and would require over 600 ships to
carry it. The whole crop would require about
&c, 900, 900 bags. At prevailing rates it would
take over SIS, 900, 900 for freight money,
and at II cents per bag, close on to S3,O00.OOO
for BAGS, making, between freight and bays,
A total sum Of about $lS,000,000. The total

and built in proport on, the absurdity Of his
published challenge in the Clipper, some
years ago, to fight any man In the world at
catch weights, will be appreciated. People
of the pious sort have always beenthe victims
of his joe sity. At a Methodist revival in
Brooklyn, some years ago, he presented him
self at the monrLers' bench, and after his
supposed conversion delivered a prayer which
was a model of earnestness and simplicity.
Having accused himself of every conceivable
crime, entering into the details of at least
fifteen horrible murders which he had COM
mitted, he Mortified the assembled worshipers
by drawing a paint brush across his throat
and rushing out OF !ne building, apparently
bleeding TO death. As a writer he was and is
still brilliant. He wrote a series of sketches
for the Eagle some time ago under the head
Of "Pickwick in America which were as
captivating as anything ever written by
| Dickens himself. 1t was a source of pleasure
{, him to write an article in one paper and
then to tear it to pieces in. an oppositional
journal, and nothing gave him more delight
than TO BLACKBOARD himself. The Dramatic
NeWS used to assall him IN the most violent
manner, attributing to him the most out
rageous offenses known to the law. At the
time these attacks appeared Philips was
practically editor of the paper, and was him
self the sole editor Of the abuse. He is a
man of the most ~prodigal liberality, a vel.
come guest wherever he presents himself
and is a pretty fair sample Of the once famous
but now almost extinct race of metropolitan
Bohernians. That he is now quietly laughing
at all the commotion he has occasioned, if in
reality he be the author of the Chinese letter
is very likely.

Congress meets next month. l expect one
~ The earliest acts of the House will be to
lake up and pass the Senate bill providing
tor a commission to inquire into the present
ar'tl laws. This bill was introduced by SEN
a'" Eaton, and has passed the Senate. 1t
i"es not receive support from free traders or
extreme high tariff congressman. but it seems
o promise results of value. and if it shall net
accomplish all that its friends claim for it, it
Will at least supply congress and the people
with a vast amount OF information on a very
important subject.
The appropriation bill will, of course, 0c-
cupy most of the time of the session. There
is a belief now that enough democratic men,
oers will vote to pay the Federal election
marshals, so that no great delay will be oc-
casioned by that much moo,ed matter. There
Is, indeed, among democrats, a disposition to
act with great circumspection during the SEES
SION. They have All idea that General Gar
field strongly desires to Danish all sectional
issues from our politics, and they wish to do
nothing now to interfere with so patriotic a
work.
There is nothing but gossip about the com
ing cabinet. Secretary Sherman has frankly
announced himself as a candidate for the
senate from Ohio, but that is not understood
to remov him entirely from the field of pos
slbilities as a cabinet office. There is a
strong desire among eastern business men
that he should remain at the head of the
treasury department.
The question has been raised how Car
Prcsident-elect Garfield resign the sen
atorsh,p, inasmuch as he will not lie a senate
until he is sworn in. True. the Ohio legisla
ture has elected General Garfield to succeed
Senator Thurman ate: the 4th of March
next, and his credentials C ON file in tn
senate. 1t is claimed that it will not b
necessary to resign, but he will, through Gov
Foster, notify the legislature at its next meet
. ing in January, that he declines the s~enatoria
