About the CrOps.

Reports from Middle Florida and
Southern Georgia, especially throughout
the regions penetrated by the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway and its
branches, indicate unusually fine pros.
poets for farmers. Many say they never
had such advantages of season before,
and the crops never before presented, in
that section, so general and uniform a
promise at this early period. The rain
fall has been lighter than usual. almost
amounting to drought in some localities,
but the crops have not yet suffered mate
rally, and it is hoped the rains will be
sufficient to sustain the grand prospect
of abundant harvest. Fall planted oats
are now ripening for the sickle,
and the mild Winter, enabling farmers
70 plant corn in the middle of
February, is now enabling them also to
lay by the corn crop a month earlier than
usual, thus dispensing with much labor
and expense during hot weather, with
even better prospect of a good crop.
This advantage gives more time to de.
vote to crops coming in later, and we
may reasonably expect, with the con-
tinuanee of the favorable season. proper
tionally better cultivated crops of cotton,
peas, potatoes, sugar cane. melons, etc.
The conditions indicate comparatively
dry spring seasons as the most favorable
to grain and fibre crops, but unfavorable
to fruit crops, as the deficiency of moist
ure in the atmosphere so long deferred
the growth Of flower and foliage upon
the fruit trees as to seriously affect the
crop.

The Timher Question in Enrone.

Now that the question of our vanishing
forests is becoming 81 widely discussed. the
following from the U s. Economist will be
Of interest to our lumber trade:
"The rapid consumption Of the forests in
this country is giving rise to very proper
feeling of alarm lest the supply may be-
come exhausted. In regard to the forests
Of Europe and the exhaustion Of the timber
supply, there are some significant facts That
are deserving of notice. Sweden and Nor
way, which still do large export trade In
deals, are now compelled to buy their oak
in Poland; and in Russia the forests along
the shores Of the Baltic, in Finland. and IN
the Southern Provinces, are SO rapidly thin
ming that the forest acreage Of the empire Is
now only one 10 ten. There are about "a
900. 900 acres Of forest in Germany (of which
10000. 900 are in Prussis), estimated to be
worth 81, 500 600 COO, and bringing In an in
come of $50, 600, 900 per annum.
HThe State forests are taken great care of
In all parts of Germany, in Prussia alone
$500, 900 being spent every year In replant-
ing. The imports OF timber exceed the ex-
ports by over 1000, 900 tons. The oak and
the beech are the kinds OF trees which do
best in Denmark, but the timber trade Of
that country is very small. Austria and
Hungary have upward of 43, 600, 900 acres OF
forest but in Austria proper the State does
not possess more than z per cent. OF the
wooded area, as owing to the wasteful policy
OF the Ministry of Finance from 1855 to
1872, more than 000,Co0 acres were sold for
sums so far below their value that there was
a popular saying In Vienna, "If you want
to become rich buy State forests" The
speculation came to an end in 1873, but
Austria is now obliged to buy most Of her
timber In Bosnia and T ontenegro.
"Servis and Roumsnis have some very
fine forests, but Italy, though her forest
area extends over nearly IA 900, 900 acres,
does not do much in the way of timber
trade, as the roads leading TO the forests are
so bad that It is almost impossible to move
the timber when cut. Much the same is the
case with Spain, which is stated to have
$500, 900 acres of forests, while Portugal,
which has only 1000, 900 acres, finds a good
market for her timber. Sweden and Nor
way export S160,0O0 900 worth Of timber
every year, and at this rate their fine forests
will soon be exhausted; while Russia, where
the annual consumption Of timber is put at
$3.50, 900, 900, exports only $24, Go, 900.
SIN Germany, as we have stated, the i'm
ports exceed the exports; but in Austro
Hungary the latter are, from last estimates,
$50 000, 600 more than the former; while in
France the annual imports are estimated al
$44 900 900, and the exports $6,000,C)0, and
in Belgium at IS, 800 600 and 5000. GOO
respectively. England buys about $54 0C0,
900 and Holland about $4,000 900 per
snnum; 50 that the imports into Western
Europe may be put at $1S0,0C0 900, taking
one year with another"

The Memphis AUalanche fears that it
is a fiction fondly entertained by business
men all over the South that the credit
system is about to die out; that planters
are growing independent, and that, in a
few years, farming operations will be
conducted on a cash basis, planters
standing on the same ground with mer-
chants and manufacturers. It admits,
however, that the financial condition of
planters is improving, but, it thinks,
the upward progress is not rapid,
and long time must elapse
before the present methods of
conducting business viii undergo a
marked change. One promising sign.
it thinks, is found in the increased area
of grain planted this season, and the bet
ter understanding which planters are
beginning to have of the relative adj
vantages under the cash and credit sys-
tens may facilitate the process.

Some Of our exchanges are blaming
the Democratic members Of Congress for
voting for the tariff commission bill.
We believe 1t would have been much
better if the Democrats had placed them
selves on record as against the measure,
which is clearly only scheme of a
Republican Congress to protect the pro-
tectionists at the expense of the people
for as long q period as possible. Never
theless there was no chance for a revenue
reform bill at this time, and doubtless
taose Democrats who voted for the COM
mission did so on the principle that it
was a recognition Of the demands Of the
people, and was, if only slight step,
yet still a step in the right direction.

Advocates Of the new Presidential
election bin claim that under it any con-
test can be settled before the 4th Of
March. The report accompanying the
bin, after setting forth the method Of
counting the Presidential vote, states
that there is in the Presidential election
the same field Of controversy and judi
cial inquiry as in the ordinary popular
election, and Just &c much or more
necessity for Judicial Determination, by
which alone such disputes can be prop
erly settled. Congress, says the report,
Is denied such functions by the Consti-
tuition, and reference to the courts in
this matter, as in all disputes involving
the construction and Interpretation Of
the law, is the only constitutional
method Of disposing Of all conceivable
disputes. One section provides, that not
withstanding the Congressional count,
the title to the Office of President or
Vice President may be tried and deter
mined by an action in the nature Of q
quo toarranf2.

1t is stated that most Of the Italians ar

JESUS AND THE CHILDREN

A circle of children were sitting
In the shades Of the olives one day.;
Their heads crowned with roses and lilies,
At rest from their innocent play.
And so YOU saw Jesus? said Ezra,
Who leaned on a sheaf of ripe corn,
For he had been out with the cleaners,
Since the first breaking of morn.
30. yes, cried the children and Ruth said
He Stopped at the way-side TO rest,
And called US, and little Nathaniel
He lifted up in his breast
And that's why he wears those white
We crowned him for love Of the Lord,
Whose lips kissed his dear little forehead,
And, Ezra, you ought to have heard
"All the sweet W crds he said to us children
We could not 90 on with our play,
Bot have sat here and talked it all over,
And wished that he always would stay
"I wish he would stay" sighed Nathaniel
Il love him thousand and one;
! wish | could lie on his bosom
Till mother the cleaning had done"
And Ezra arose with his corn sheaf,
And thoughtfully went on his way,
~.
Il wish had been here to-day.
Bat maybe again he'll be coming
This way-I will watch as CLEAN,
l should know him the chief ola thousand
The kingliest form ever seen.
But they say he is tender and gentle
As ever a woman could be;
long to behold him, this Jesus,
And yet would he look upon me?'
81 only would speak Of my mother,
If Just for a moment he'd hear,
For they say that he hcaleth the palsy,
0, Jesus, the blessed draw near.'
And Ezra went on to the cottage
Where all through the long weary day,
Ills mother, alone sick Of palsy,
In sorrow and helplessnesS lay.
And, 10, as he entered, a stranger
Passed out Of the cottage door,
And laid his hand on him, and blessed him
And his heart thrilled as never before.
And his mother fsprangforwardt to meet him
With footsteps as light rs the air,
90, Ezra, She cried, "it was Jesus,
My heart was SO heavy with care.
And he came in-he said thou hadst asked
him
And bade NE arise to my feet,
And stood, and walked and behold mt
In strength and in yigor complete"
And fzra was silent with wonder,
And beat out the sheaf he had cleaned,
And his mother thought he was like Jesus
For his face with such strange beauty
beamed.
