MALONE.

The Chicago Times views Mahone's po-
sition in Virginia in jocnlar light. 1t
describes hissituation after this wise:
The Mahene programme in the Virginia
Legislature has fallen through. and the boss
suffered both in prestige and material re
sources. He had scheme for gerryman-
dering the state, for reconstructing the
judiciary, wherebyall the democratic judges
would be turned out to make room for
readiusters, and for creating in each county
lucrative office to be called real HESITATE
commissionership. When he found oppo-
sition to these schemes in his own ranks,
he called the national administration to his
aid. The republicans at the capital backed
him heartily. Mr. Hubbell, chairman of
the republican congressional committee,
deavored to have the Malone programme
carried out. The president gave the as
surance that possession of federal offices
in Virginia was to be had only. through
Malone, and that no republicansm not in
dorsed as genuine by this confederate bri-
gamer, would be recognized at Washing
tom Brides and threats were alike impo-
tent. Malone and his republican allies at
the federal capital could not carry out their
scheme. In this dilemma he proposed an
adjournment until June, but the legislature
adjourned on Saturday sine die, and the
governor would hesitate to call special
session. The result of the failure to make
reapportionment leaves the congressional
districts as they are, and necessitates the
election of the additional member at large
Malone, of course does not give up
the fight. He has every incentive to con-
tinue it. He win have the manipulation
of the federal offices, and can beg money
in the north, But he has had check that
will take from him his prestige and leave
him in bad plight before the people of
the Old Dominion.

NORTHERN DIVISION.

The condition of rye in Northern I'LL
nois is favorable for three per cent. more
than an average yield per acre
The condition is uniformly good on
drained land, and only three of the north.
ern counties report the prospects unfavor-
able for an average, or better yield PEI
acre.
Only in Bureau, Carroll and Iroquois
counties will the average yield per acre
be less than five per cent. below an aver
age.
In Grundy Kendall LaSalle and Living
ston counties, considerable rye has been
damaged by high water
In Bureau, Grundy, Henry, Iroquois,
Kendall, Livingston andWoodford counties,
rye has been injured on wet lands by the
freezing and thawing weather. About
eight per cent. of the area has been dam
aged by excessive rains, and about the
same area is reported winter killed
Over half the rye produced in the state
is grown in Northern Illinois.
CENTRAL DIVISION.
Over third of the area seeded to rye
last fall in Illinois is located in the central
counties
It will be seen in the following table that
the condition April /. gives encourage
naent for something over an average yield
per acre in the central division.
About seven per cent. of the area of rye

WINTER RYE.

In amount of rye. annually produced
Illinois is slightly exceeded only by Pennsyl
vania, according to the late census returns.
The crop has made a good growth dur
ing the past winter, except on wet land
and the prospects are encouraging for an
average, or better, yield per acre in each
of the three grand divisions of the state
The following table shows that rye
promises larger average yield per acre
in Northern Illinois than in other portions
of the state

CROP PROSPECTS.
WINTER WHEAT.

The prospects have seldom been more
promising at corresponding dates for an
average yield per acre of winter wheat, than
on the first day of April, 1882.
The area of the growing crop of acre,
372 acres is less by 275, 296 acres than the
area of the wheat crop last harvested.
The open winter and frequent warm
rains have been favorable for the rapid
and continued growth of wheat on well
drained land, and, with few exceptions,
wheat on such land is much above an aver
age in condition.
The prospects are encouraging for an I'M
usually early harvest and in some of the
southern counties the wheat was nearly
three feet high the first week in April
In some of the river and flat counties a
large area of winter wheat has been dam
aged by the overflow, and the crop on wet
lands has been injured by freezing and
thawing weather,
The danger of damage from chinch- bugs
is imminent in various parts of the State,
more especially in some of the counties
where the drouth prevailed last season.
Millions of these destructive insects
have, at this early date been seen flying in
the air.
There has been no complaint of injury
from the Hessian- fly.
NORTHERN DIVISION.
The condition of wheat in the northern
division of the State promises two per cent
more than an average yield per acre. Six
per cent of the area in this portion of the
State was destroyed by the excessive rains
and overflow on river and creek bottoms
and standing water on level undrained
lands; seven per cent. of the area is re-
ported winter killed. The area of winter
wheat grown in Northern Illinois is quite
limited, when compared with the central
and southern division of the State.
In Iroauois, Kendall, La Sale and Iiiv-
irgston counties about ten per cent. of the
area of the winter wheat seeded last fall
has been damaged by excessive rains and
overflow on low, fiat, undrained lands.
Considerable wheat is reported water killed
in Carroll, Kankakee, Livingston, Kendall
Peoria and Woodferd counties.

CENTRAL DIVISION.

The condition of wheat in the Central
Division of the State promises an average
yield per acre. In some of the best wheat
counties in this division the condition
has seldom, if ever, been better. This
is especially so in Champaign, Cass,
Fulton, Hancock, Jersey, Mason and
Vermilion, where prospects indicate
much more than an average yield pei
acre.
The per cent of damage to wheat re-
sultlng from excessive rains and overflow
on bottom and fiat lands, has been greater
in Central than in Northern and Southern
Illinois, and will average about seven pei
cent, and about the same proportion OF
the area is reported winter killed. Only
one-third of the winter wheat area of the
State is found in the Central Division
The greatest damage from the high water
and heavy rains is reported in Maconpin,
Montgomery. Coles. Clark, Green and Ma
son counties.
In Brown, Clark, Maeoupin and vermil-
ion counties, considerable wheat is report
ed winter killed

overflow or heavy rains, and about the

SOUTHERN DIVISION
The area of rye in Southern Illinois is
quite limited, and is grown mainly foI
winter and early spring pasture.
The condition April 1 gives encourage
ment for about an average yield per acre
in this section of the state.
About six per cent. of the area has been
damaged by high water. and ten per cent
winter killed, in Southern Illinois.
In Jasper, Wayne and Boad counties
considerable rye has been damaged by high
water.
In Fayette county, large area of rye is

HANCOCK.
The toughest story of the season comes
from Sullivan. Some time ago a hen was
set upon ducks eggs. and in due time the
ducklings were out and their wav to the
nearest water. Biddy was much alarmed at
the apparent folly of her brood; but after a
few davs she lost all fear and each morning
led them to the water, and patiently waited
till they were done bathing. After a few
weeks the ducks were able to take care, of
themselves. and the hen was set upon eggs
of her own kind. When the chicks were
hatched. she had not forgotten what appear
ed to be maternal duty. She led her flock TO
the water but to her surprise not one entered.
After some time spent in talking to them in
hen language, trying to convince them that
it was their duty to go into the water, she be-
came exasperated at what looked like dis
obedience on the part of her children, seized
them one by one. and threw them in, drown
ing the whole flock.
