An exchange says: 1t is mistak Q
to suppose that the cold. freezing
weather which we had, without snow
injured the grain. We know that
freezing at night and thawing during
the day is Injurious to the grain, but
only when it continues SO for length
of time without change of weather.
It must be remembered that this win
ter has been exceptional. We have
not had hard freezing weather at night
and thawing during the day for a
week at time during the whole WIN
ter. If IL was cold for two or three
days, warm weather with rain sue
ceeded, and thus prevented injury to
the grain. The truth is, the grain
never looked better, or gave greater
promise of n good yield at this season
of the year, and it is too soon for
crOakers to commence their annual
grumbling. Let the grain alone it is
doing all right.

The Governments Fish Ship.

From the Phil delphia Record.
The government is building at Will
mington a splendid iron steamship,
which will cost nearly 100000, and es-
pecially constructed for the fish COM
mission, to gather and preserve sea fish.
TIE vessel will be sent to London with
millions Of specimens of small fish and
sea-bugs, to be exhibited at the Great
Fish exhibition to be held there in May.
She is to be christianed, the Albatross.
She is 200 feet long, twenty-seven feet
six inches beam, sixteen feet nine in
ches depth of hold and 1880 tons burth-
en-. She will be supplied with deep
sea dredge with eight on ten miles of
wire rope, for the purpose of fishing up
specimens of animal life which may be
found miles below the surface of the
ocean. Past Assistant Engineer
G. w. Baird is experimenting
the construction Of the ship, which is
being built at Pusey, Jones & Co. yards,
and will be launched in about four
months. The Albatross will be under
the direction of United States Fish
Commissioner Baird, who will 60 with
her to the London Exposition, which
in the world. There will be on, exhibit
ton there every kind Of animal known
to exist in the seas and rivers of the
world, from whale to a tadpole All
the leading fish culturists and dealers in
the United States will send exhibits
which, in addition to the millions of
preserved exhibits sent by the govern
ment, will probably make our display
the most complete of any on exhibition.
The largest number of the government
exhibits will be microscopic specimens,
but thousands of curious and valuable
specimens preserved in liquor, and now
at the Smithsonian Institute, will be
put on board the Albatross and sent over.

DiSObeying Orders.
M the Galveston News.

From the Galveston News.
The following story is told of Gen.
Harvey when he was in command at
Camp Verde, Texas. He was an in
tensely dignifed officer, and if there
was one thing he detested more than
another, it was undignified haste. One
evening, just as he was about to hold
dress parade, he perceived that he had
forgotten his handkerchief, and as the
weather was very hot, he said to his Or
derby: $50 to my quarters, quick, and
bring me my handkerchief The or
derry touched his cap and started for
the quarters, several hundred yards dis
tant. After he had proceeded a short
distance, remembering that there was
no time to lose, he broke into trot,
"See that scoundrel running as if the
Indians were after him. 1fthere isany-
thing I hate it is to see soldier running
my man." continued Harvey to another
soldier, Ego after that man and tell him
l say to walk" The second soldier start
ed after the first, but as the first one
kept on running, the second one saw his
only chance to deliver the message was
to hurry up, so he, too, broke into a
run. To say that Harvey swore is to use
but mild expression. ''Here, sergeant,
90 after that man and tell him if he
don't stop running III hang him up by
the thumbs" The sergeant started out
in brisk walk, but as his predecessor
had good start he, too, began to run
as hard as he could. eff all three of
the scoundrels amt running like jack
rabbits!" calculated Harvey. I'll show
'em." And tucking his sword under his
arm he started in pursuit as fast as he
could run; but suddenly remembering
his dignity he came to halt, and walk
ed stiff1y and slowly back to the place
where the dress parade was to come off

Six Feet Of Rain in Texas

Passengers by the Texas. & Pacific rail-
road report one of the heaviest rains ever
known, continuing for three days and nights
without internission. 1t stopped falling in
west Texas Saturday night. In some places
the plains, where tradition says it meyer
rains, have the appearance of a sea, and the
rain fall is estimated at six feet. The flooded
section begins near Abilence and extends
west for nearly 800 miles, including the
country from Brazos to the Pecos rivers.
The great washout referred to was the work
of water spout between Abilence and the
Sweet river. A similar one is said to have
occurred near Vanhorn, nearly six hundred
miles west Of Dallas, and another is reported
to have struck and seriously damaged the
Southern Pacific track in southwestern Ari-
IONA. It will take several days to repair the
Texas & Pacific tracks. It is feared that
great loss of life and stock has occurred in
the remote and sparcely settled country to
the north and northwest of the Texas & Pa
cifc.

Leigh Hunt: The golden line is drawn
between winter and summer. Behind
all is blackness, and dissolution. Before

There has been a gradual but rapid
decline in English agriculture during the
last fifteen or twenty years. The large
landholders are becoming poorer, and
thousands of the best tenants have been
frightened away by depressing appre-
tensions. The purchase of stupendous
areas Of land in the dominion north of
us by wealthy English companies, under
the patronage of leading aristocrats and
gentlemen, are hopeful signs, and pre-
sage heavy immigration to this CONT
