The Growing Crops.

The New York Times has reports relative to the growing crops from 37 States and Territories, and says the information is from trustworthy sources. The small grains, despite bad spring weather, promise we'll. Winter wheat will give an increased yield in nearly every State except Indiana, Ohio, and New York. The last named only will produce much less than the average. Spring wheat is much more fattering in it's premise. In the great grain States west of the Mississippi the increase is especially marked, in some cases as much as 50 per cent. In some of the old grain States, other grains are re- placing wheat oats, and rye especially. In all these large increase in acreage is reported and promise of g large crop. Insects and rust are re. ported in some places, but only in Ten nessee is much alarm felt. Corn shows very large, increase in nearly every State where it is cultivated at all. II the North it shares to some extent il the displacement of winter wheat, ant in the South it is replacing cotton t. some extent. Emigration and the push ing of railroad construction are prom nent factors in the increase of the graf
 fields.

The Mysteries of Law.

If there is one thing that is more beau tiful than another it is the law. Lest there may be some who will dispute this
 proposition, let us establish it by recit- ing case in point. A New York busi- ness association of moneyed men, desir-
 ing to close up the concern and divide the assets of some $13O,OOO, and being unable to do so without official sanc- ton, some time ago went into court in friendly suit, in order to settle the business with neatness and dispatch. One side was to bring the suit, and the other was to make only feeble show of combating it, and all was to be lovely and serene. The suit settled, one of the lawyers sent in 8 bill for $24,OOO for services. The associates demurred, and referee was appointed, who cut down the amount to $1O,OOO, but sent in 8 big bill himself, as also did lot of lawyers. for attending the reference. Then other claims came in, and other references were appointed, and then the purchaser Of the soclety's property, alleging flaw in the title, refused tc pay up and had to be sued, and this case will probably go through two courts before 1t is settled. The lawyers and court fees thus far are about $6O,- 900, and nobody pretends to see the end By this incident the truth of the propo
 sition made in the first sentence of thi, paragraph is triumphantly vindicated

An English Princess.

The Princess Beatrice alone remains unmarried of all the English royal family, and, strange to say, the Queen, who has always proved herself such a devoted adherent of matrimony, is de- clared by the intimates of the court cir cle to look upon the marriage of her youngest daughter as thing impossi- ble. For certain time much whisper ing was going forward among the priv ileged about the desire expressed by the Grand Duke of Hesse to become the son-in-law of her Majesty, for the sec. ond tune, but the opposition to the passage of the Deceased Wife's Sister bill has put natural end to the union. Meanwhile the Princess, who is in all things all that a gracious woman should be, purEues her task steadfastly and un repiningly. Friend and companion ot her mother, consoler of the immeasur able depth of woe by which the roya lady once bade fair to be submerged she is pronounced no longer charn and soother of the Queens existence but actually to be the element necessar, to it's continuance.

A Hermit.

Cincinnati has a strange hermit in Edward Holroyd. He was once part ner in large and successful dry goods house, and at that time was public spirited, iovial, and widely known. Twenty years ago he retired suddenly from business, secluded himself in @ very handsome suburban residence, and has never since been off the premises. For months no human being sees him, his orders to the family who live in the house being sent out from his room in writing, and his food being passed in through a wicket. The building is go- ing to ruin through neglect, and the grounds arc intended, but neither through stinginess nor lack of means, as his property has appreciated to $250, 900 in value, and he frequently gives away money in charity. He takes the daily newspapers, and seems to keep in- formed as to what is going on in the world, but will have nothing to do with it, and lately refused to see one of his former business partners. Many of his old associates believed he was dead, sc completely had he dropped out oi notice, when description in the En- quirer of his manner of existence called their attention to him. He is now 80. The cause of his seclusion was his wife, with whom he quarreled, and who ob' tained divorce, compelling him to provide for her separate maintenance, This soured him, and he vowed to be done with human beings.

Improved Printing Plates.

Experiments have been made, both here and in Europe, with celluloid as a material for types, and the material has been found to have some advantages over type-metal and wood. It takes clear and sharp impressions under the influence of heat and pressure, and will keep its shape under the hardest usage. The celluloid is used in the form of thin sheets or plates, and is intended to be backed by wood. In nature printing, as ill copying leaves, mosses, faces, and all kinds of raised fabrics, the leaf or fabric is laid on the sheet of celluloid and submitted to heat under considerable pressure. The material will be pressed into the celluloid, and when finished the plate will exhibit the minutest veining or threads of the fabric or leaf By cutting away the edges of the plate, the leaf may be brought out in relief and used as a stereotype plate. These celluloid plates have so far been applied to the manufacture of large type only, such as are now made of wood. and to the making of small plates containing short notices or advertise ments for newspapers. The advantages of the celluloid types and plates con. sist in their lightness, which saves stor- age and postage, and instheir durability and cheapness. The types resist the action of acids and do not affect the colors of the ink used on them. This makes it possible to use the same type for many colors, which is great advan tage in printing offices where wood type is used. .-Cent,try for May.

AN GID STORY.

4 mother sat through sunsets golden hours Holding wreath of faded orange flowers, And. signing, said: "It was but yesterday I watched it's dimpled smiles, its laughing
 eyes,
 With love half joy, and half glad surprise, Till, all unheeded, passing Time, so fleet, Stole my fair babe and left a maiden sweet. For my sweet babe I shed not one sad tear, bresthed no sigh, this maiden was so dear But day by day watched new charms unfold Till scarce it's weight of joy my heart could
 hold.
 For twenty yearsl How like pleasant dream Those years of tenderness and watching seem! But now, from all my love she turns away For 8 fond heart known scarce 8 summer's
 day."
 The father came. He paused beside her chair He kissed her cheek, caressed the shining hair Then, like a wooer, bent and whispered low, Sweetheart, pray thee do not sorrow so. Dost thou remember one bright afternoon When woods and fields were all aglow with
 June,
 We wandered forth down by the rivers side, We too, forgetting all the world beside? Forgetting time, till in the darkening stream We saw the first pale lights of evening gleam And while ws watched them heath our tryst-
 ing tree
 Hast thou forgot, at my fond words to thee That when those lights that burned on higt
 so far
 Looked on the Charles and saw no answering
 star
 Then should my love cease to be wholly
 thine = That thou dids't leave thy mothers heart for
 mine?'

Facts from the Census.
THE PROPORTION OF FOREIGN AND NATIVE BORN PoPU1ATIoN-THE MAINE FISH. FRIES,

A bulletin issued by the Census Bu- reau at Washington contains some in- teresting statistics in relation to the native and foreign born population of several States. The foreign born resi- dents of California are little more than one-third of the population, and the number of those born in China is 73, 548; in Ireland, nearly 63,000; in Germany, 42,000, and in England, 24,0O0. In Maine the foreign-born are one- eleventh of the total population, and three ,tifths of them came from Canada. In Florida only one-twenty-seventh Of the popula- tion was born in foreign countries, half of these coming from Cuba or the West Indies. The number of residents who were born in Europe is about 5000, out of total of about 10000 foreign born In Georgia there is only one foreign born resident to 146 natives, and four. ffths of the O,564 foreigners came from Ireland, Germany or England. The foreign-born in Indiana are about one- fourteenth of the whole population, and fve-ninths of the foreigners were born in Germany. The proportion of foreign-born to natives in Kentucky is one to twenty eight, four-tifths ef the foreigners having been born in Germany or Ireland. One-seventeenth of the residents of Louisiana were born in for eign countries, and four ffths of the foreigners came from Germany, Ireland and France. In Maryland, one-eleventt of the residents are foreign-born, and four-iifths of these came from Germany and Ireland.
 The bureau has also published the fishery statistics of Maine. The tables cover more than 40 pages, and are mos elaborate, embracing the smallest de tails. The extent and value of Maine, sea fisheries are surpassed only by those of the fisheries of Massachusetts,. The number of persons employed in the ses and river fisheries is 12, ,662; the capita invested is nearly $3, 5OO,O ,OOO, and thu
 market value of the products is abou $3, 750, 900. Inasmuch as Maine has hat monopoly of the lobster industry o the country, the table shows the exten
 of that business for the United States
 The entire lobster catch of the State fo
 the census year was about 14,250,00
 pounds, of which 9,50O, 900 pound were canned. The sardine industr
 was, up to the census year, confined eS clusively to Eastport. Business wa begun in 1875, and in 1880 the value C the products was $S25, ,000.

Righteous Use of Wealth. BEING JUST BEFORE GENEROUS DIS. COURSE BY PROFESSOR ADLER.

''There is popular fallacy," said Professor Felix Adler before the Society for Ethical Culture, in New York City, "that whoever can afford to expend ex- travagantly upon his pleasure has al right to do so; that only those whose expenditure is out of proportion to their income are blameworthy." The Professor then proceeded to show where the true origin of the fallacy was to be sought, and how men came to entertain so perverted belief as that the limits of right expenditure varied indefinitely with one's income. The truth was, he said, that no one was at liberty to ex- pend upon himself more than his in- come warranted. Incidentally he re- marked that the evil of the concentra- tion of wealth iii the hands of the few cannot be attoned for by the occasional charity which the very wealthy give. For, in the first place, great gifts by the very wealthy are the exception rather than the rule; and, in the second place, even if they were the rule, they would not compensate society, for the great fishes become great only by devouriug the little; the great capitalists become great capitalists always by wiping out hosts of lesser capitalists and taking away the means of comfort and we'll being from many. "And of what avail, then," continued the Professor, "would it be if one of the members of the great monopoly which I have recently de- scribed were to found an orphan asylum ' or to build an hospital :? Should we really be willing to clap hands, as many are supposed to do, and cry, 'Oh, how charitable the man is ? Why, he has not begun to give back to society what

The Vice of Intemperance. HOW IT RUINS HOMES, DEaRADEs NATURES AND DESTROYS FAMILIES.


 It is said, whether truly or no cannot be exactly verified, that women who have fallen into habits of intemperance never reform, The weakness of will, the absence of resolution which marks the sex as a rule, prevents that stern self-mastery which / is necessary for those who would 50 up the steep path of reformatioa--thed d;tficult Scala Sd,et0 of intemperance following on drunken ness. A few men can be found who, even without VOWS or pledges, can pull up in time and save themselves from eternal ruin, but of woman-not one. And how many crimes come from drink! Ruined homes, degraded natures, lost repute, destroyed families, destroyed souls-misery, vice, despair, destruc- tion-this is the work of this arch fend, this malignant demon, Drink. Children, predestined to disease and crime, are born of mothers who know nothing of the sacredness of their ma- ternal functions, and nothing of the value of the lives they have given to the world. In their ill temper of sobering they beat even their little babies-for the sake of their own self-indulgence they starve them-and in their drunken fits they perhaps maim them for life, or more mercifully, kill them outright. There is no upward path for them-no ,Sca1a Santa possible, save that made by the enforced discipline of prison. Left to themselves they are always the same, drunken and degraded; and so oi the men-for the greater part at least The small residuum of honest souls who control their. viler desires and break through this frlghtful habit, is very small residuum indeed. All honor tc those who set themselves to- the task Our duty-we who have no small temp tation ourselyes-is to help them on | ward, to deal with them gently while firmly, lovingly while holding them with such strength as we have, to the terrible task of the upward climb. Blu in point of fact the only really hopefu method of undertaking that steep climl of reformation, be the thing to be re formed what it may, is to begin early to crush the cockatrice in the egg; t, root out the poison weed in it's frs sprouting from the ground to mak' the ascent while that ascent is gentl and easy, while those steps are few an, shallow, Like fire which has takel hold of a building, habit once rooted in life is difficult, and sometime it is impossible, to conquer But ther' was moment when it could have beel subdued with very little trouble ant we are guilty of high treason to all tha is great and good, to all that is best il ourselves, by our 1achete then. w. have no case in our excuse now of 'sim possibility, for the thing has gone. to- far."

A new kind of bomb has been invented at the Krupp cannon foundry. The ex- plosion of these new missiles, it IS said, owing to their mechanical arrange ments and the materials which they contain, will be equal to torpedoes. At the same works new cannon has been tested. It is mounted upon pivot pro vided with machinery which absolutely does away with the rebound or "kick. ing." The cannon, moreover, is SC fashioned that, notwithstanding it's heavy fibre, it can be mounted upon the allest gunboats.
