A Relic of Washington.

A special from Staunton, Va, says
that an old walnut cabinet of antique
design has been discovered in the store
Of Frank Ware, a secondhand furni-
ture dealer, to which unusual interest
attaches. In moving the desk Ware
turned it up and his eye fell upon a
singular looking inscription, to decipher
which he called in the aid of several
gentlemen, who made it out as follows
ITO George Washington, by d. Webfter
in We year 1777;" and in another place:
"Ye desk was presented to George
Washington in We year of our Lord
17777 by D. Webfter." The inscription
is quite distinct, except the Cd" pre-
ceding Webster. The cabinet was
bought recently at a sale of the effects
of the widow of the late Samuel Clark.
former mayor of Staunton, and is
about three feet long and one deep, and
stands upon four slender, crooked legs.
4 drawer runs the whole length of the
cabinet at the top, and there are small
er shallow ones beneath this, with an
old-fashioned brass handle. 1t has been
found that Samuel Clark married a
daughter of Sampson Matthews, who
was the first man who ever kept tav-
ern in Staunton. His tavern, which
has long since disappeared, was rem
devious for Continental soldiers. Gen
eral Matthews. brother of the tavern
keeper, was friend of General Wash
ington, and was Governor of Georgia
after the war The old desk evidently
passed from General Washington into
the hands of Governor Matthews, and
so into his bre:her's family. Its iden-
tity is much strengthened by the strong
resemblance between the inscription
upon it and the handwriting of Wash
ington, as seen upon an old autograph
letter of his which has been hunted up
and compared with it. The Historical
Society of Virginia viii purchase the
cabinet and present it to the Mount
Vernon Association.

IT is charitable to presume that
Minister Christiancy would have been
recalled long ago if he had not hap
pened to represent this country at
Peru, which is the only government in
the world that has at the present mo-
ment the slightest need of a United
States minister But there is some ex-
cuse for his continued absence from
home in the chaotic condition of af
fairs in Peru. No new minister could
pick up the tangled thread of the di-
plomatic negotiations there until the
need for his service was pretty well
passed. Though the newspaper para
grapherS may not be able to see it,
there are something's in the world more
important than domestic scandal.

The Popular Demand.

So great has been the popular de
mand for the celebrated Kidney-W ort
that it is having an immense sale from
Maine to California. Some have found
it inconvenient to prepare it from the
dry compound. For such the proprie-
tors now prepare it in liquid form.
This can be procured at the druggists.
Is has precisely the same effect as the
dry, but IS very concentrated so that
the dose is much snaller.-L0sueH Nail

ILLINOIS CORN CROP.
How the Cereal Has Paid the Illinois Pro-
Queer.

How the Cereal Has Paid the Illinois Pro-
Queer.
CHICAGO, Feb. ia Springfield special
says: In 1879 Illinois produced one-fifth of all
the corn grown in the United States, and ac-
cording to the latest advices the crop of 1880
will bear about the same proportion to the
corn crop of the country. The report of the
board of agriculture shows that during the
past twenty one years, after receiving fair re-
Enumeration for the cost of production, the
corn farmers of this State have realized a net
profit of nearly one million of dollars. The
average yield per acre last year was 50 bushels.
In twenty-one years it has been
exceeded only eight times, the
average in 1872 being 40 per cent.
The corn crop of Psi zoo, 900 bushels has been
exceeded but three times-in 1875, 2S0,000,000
bushels; in 1877, 270,0O0,000, and in 1879, $685.
200. The profits on wheat have of late
years increased the wheat acreage at the ex-
pense of corn. The total value of the crop
was SS4 ,000, 900, value which has been ey-
ceeded only twice in twenty-one years. The
value of ogs marketed in 1850 was 500, $780,
900; in 1S79it was S16,640,000 The value OF
cattle in 1880 was Sill ,026,00C: in 1879, S16,-
