Gern,an E,nirratinn

LONDON, July 18.-A Berlin cores
pondont says: statistics published by
the Hamburg police authorities show
that the number of German emigrants,
passing through Hamburg alone, to
America from January 1st to June so,
1881, amounts to 74,G33, being twice the
number for the same period
in the year following the late
war between France and Germany. TIL .
figures for such emigration for the cor
responding period last year were 81, 4S9
and the total for the year 1O6,19O. So
that if emigration proceeds in the same
proportion for the second half of 1881, the
government will find that, reckoning
fugitives by other channels it has lost in
1881, about a quarter of a million of its
most effective subjects.

Crop Reports.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Reports to the
agricultural department show the wheat
crop as reported July first is much better
than reported June first, and averages
SO per cent. for the whole country. The
Atlantic states fall off slightly as COM
pared with the return for the same
time last year, but the large wheat re-
gions north of the Ohio river and
west of the Mississippi return a low con-
dition compared with 1880. Michigan
reports only 81 per. cent, and Illinois
60. Ohio and Indiana are below last
year, but report q fair prospect. Mis-
souri, and Kansas each make great COM
plant of damagetO spring wheat. Iowa
alone returns condition much lower
than last year, and which is only 72 per
cent
There is an increased area planted in
corn, nearly two per cent. over 1880.
The average condition of the crop is not
so high as the last two years, and is so
against 100 per cent. for last year. In
all the north Atlantic states the crop is
backward owing to the cold, wet spring,
but in the states south of the Delaware
river and on the Gulf of Mexico, the re-
port is fair. Texas, however, reports
serious injury from drought.
In the great corn producing region
bordering on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. the average is below last year,
particularly in the state of Iowa, which
only reports condition of u per cent.
caused by the cold spring and too much
rain in June. In Illinois and Missouri
the condition is reported very favorable.

Facts About Editors.
Morrilfton. Ark. Stata.


When you write to an editor, send q
three cent stamp. II will be great Gu
riosity in him.
Editors are slippery fellows. They
have an unrivaled facility for slipping
out of the back door just after publiea
|tion day.
An editors veracity will do to gamble
ON. He never lies, except for consid-
Grafton, OF in the plain discharge Of his
duties.
Never ask an editor to drink, unless
YOU have good credit or an extra dime.
You might cause him painful disap-
pointment.
When an editors hair scales off aud
the top of his head begins to look like
the skin OF cow hide attribute it to Ris-
dom--aot his wife
An editor meyer steals. He always
gives full credit, and be don't write 'Ex.'
after IN article. There are q number OF
brainless scslawags in the profession
who pass for editors and who steal, but
they don't have the pure ring,
When you shake hands with an editor
don't squeeze HE fingers too bard, for
they may bs covered With valuable dia-
mond ringe, :.
When you owe an EDITOR dollar don'l
pay him, for the shock might be toe
g,e eat for hia nervous system.
When you visit an Office mix the edi-
tors exchanges; he has plenty of time
to straightsn them. Steal them II yot
want to he will not need them, Beside
it is fashionable.
/ II you are mean man don't mentor
the name of an advertisiug agent to III
editor. tor it will thrill his soul with de-
light and cause him to smile. And wher
an editor smiles the bark peels off and
the air turns blue.
