THE EFFECT OF THE SEVERE
WINTER ON CROPS AND
STOCK

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The re-
ports of April l received at the De-
partment OF Agriculture show an in
crease Of nearly 4 per cent. in the
area sown In winter wheat. Kansas
and MISSOURI show the largest in
crease, Ohio and Illinois but slight,
and New York and Pennsylvania
remain the same as last year. Indi-
ana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Vir-
giana each report some decrease
Owing to the prevalence of snow
the condition of the crops was not
given in large portions of the prin-
cipal wheatSgrowing States, but
wherever mentioned it was stated
as below the average of last fall
The alternate freezing and thawing
during the month of March was the
most detrimental of any weather
during the winter. The live stock
of the country, Notwithstanding the
scarcity of food caused by the long
and severe winter, has come out in
fair health, though low in flesh. No
malignant or prevailing disease is
reported over any large extent of
the country. Disorders of lungs
and stomachs are often mentioned.
Great losses from cold and exposure
are reported from the far West.

CONSUMPTION OF NIHILIsTs.

Five nihilists were yesterday hanged
in st. Petersburg for their share in
the murder of the late Czar, and thus
attained, 80 far as relates to this world
at least, their supposed supreme am
bition. There are, however, no doubt
plenty more to take their placesin the
assertion of the strange doctrine of
their strange party, and few execu-
tions, it is already sufficiently well
known, will not stop their plans for
assassination. By this time the pres
ent Czar has been condemned to death
also, and operations against his life
are what may next be looked for. In
Russia at this time crown is. indeed,
"a golden SORROW" but, as Russia
has plenty of sons ready to face the
certains penalties that pursue the nj
hilist, she will probably never be with
out men ready to sit on athrone, how
ever dangerous the place may be. At
the present rate of progress the ami
hilation of the Russian monarchy is
not to be Immediately apprehended.

PECK's PROFITABLE PET.


A few years ago young man named
John Peck secured a situation as con-
ductor on the Metropolitan Railway,
Boston, and it chanced that during the
first days of his service his car was
several times thrown from the track
by rails becoming misplaced. One
day the end of a rail flew up and be-
came fast in the Car truck. He lifted
and pushed, and lost his temper in the
effort to get the Car on the track and
the rail in place again, and at night
was SO disgusted with his work that he
threw up his situation. But his ex-
perience set him to thinking, and in a
few days he called on an officer of the
road and said that he could make
'chair' that would hold the rails firm
ly together ut the joints. The officer
laughed at his confident assertion and
told HIM that he had heard similar
stories dozens of times. But the ex-
conductor exhibited his model and
drawings, which appeareds promising
that he was told to go ahead and make
trial. The result was complete
success. To day John Peck's patent
railway chair, for which he secured
his arst patent in 1879, his second in
1875, and his third and last in 1881, is
used by all the street railways in Bos-
ton and by many Of the great steam
railways of the Urited States.
