Albany August
We know that Republicans of cal
loused consciences unite in saying that
it is rude and unpopular to persist in
referring to this fact of the crime on
the Presidency in 1876 They would
like that fact let alone. But they
cannot be accommodated There is
no way to oblige them even if there
was a disposition to do 80. If all the
press and all the rostrum kept silence
about it, the speaking and thinking Of
men would give the crime an immor-
tality Of infamy. Every election re-
calls the fact Of the election reversed
by fraud. The numerous Offices filed
as a reward for agency in that crime
forever advertise the crime. All i'm
preston, all association and suggestion
Of events, all the organized govern
ment, all the experience of men are
saturated with the reminding belong
ings OF the crime. It's certain to be
always remembered and required to.

A Thrilling Exhibition of Nerve.

Bernard Koehler and Fritz Hisgen, two
house painters, yesterday began painting the
large house at Belts street and Central aven-
ne. Three o'clock in the afternoon found
them close up under the ewes Of the house,
and sixty five feet from the ground. They
had just finished the surface within reach,
and had started to lower the scafold a few
feet. When the required distance had been
reached, Hisgen called to his partner to hold
on to the rope until he (Hisgen) tied his
own, when he would come over and perform
q like service for him. Hisgen had just com.
pleted his own knot when Koehler cried out:
s'Come over, quick! / can't hold it" Hisgen
as quickly as possible, started across the
aerial bridge, but had not gone two steps
when he saw the mar let go his hold and felt
the ladder giving away beneath his feet. As
he began the fall. in the energy Of despera-
ton, he with both hands grasped the almost
smooth top of the fourth story window corn
ice and there hung in the air, q distance Of
sixty feet from the pavement. He then gave
an exhibition of nerve that terrified everyone
that saw it. Placing the toe Of his boot
against the window frame he gave his body
8 sllght penQulum mOtlOn away from the
house. A second impetus gave him 9 better
impetus and as he swung on his return to-
wards the window he released his hold and
went crashing through the glass safely to the
floor Of the fourth story room, from whence
he Immediately looked out through the aper-
ture he had made to see what had become Of
his companion. Koehler had not been so
fortunate. AS he went shooting through the
air he caught the hanging rope with both
hands ard lessened his speed all the way
down at the expense Of all the cuticle on his
palms, which was burned off by the friction.

Our production Of grain was 2,434,- !

was ,, 42l, $40, 800 bushels. The crop,
therefore, may be less this year by one
or two hundred million bushels, and
yet the percentage Of decrease, so
enormous are those totals, will be
small. \ greater falling off is not
probable. Very likely, taking all the
grains together, there will be no de
crease in the production, Even il tho
yield is OO,0Oo,0)0 bushels less, how

The crop reports from Europe indi-
cate fair Harvest. There is likely to
be only an average yield Of wheat,
While of the other grains the promise
is better. There is accordingly every
reason to expect that Europe will con-
tinue to be greater purchaser OF grain
in the United States, and that our ex-
ports will not materially decline mex
autumn, if, indeed, they show any
falling off.
It seems to be generally acknowledge
ed row that our wheat harvest will be
less than that of 1880, and very likely
below that of 1879. But the crops OF
these years were Of extraordinary mag

be considerably smaller in 1881, the

Something for Farmers.

Henry ID. Kintzie, farmer living a.
bout one-half mile cast of Myerstown,
has started new industry which, if it
should prove successful, will lessen the
burning and using Of lime for fertiliZ-
ing purposes. He has procured ma
chine to crush lime stone as fine as
flour. This. it is claimed, if sowed on
land will enrich the soil to greater eX-
tent than phosphate or lime. Quite a
number of farmers have given orders
for 500 to 900 pounds, which they will
use on the land prepared for sowing
wheat this fall. Mr.. Kintzle claims
THAT where his powdered limestone
has been used thirty-fiye bushels Of
wheat haye been grown to the acre.
