FROM the New York Star we learn that
since the organization of the new telegraph
company, the Mutual Union, the Western
Union has received its first DISASTROUS check.
With unbounded resources, courage and
enterprise, the new company has taken up
the gauntlet against the old enemy of cheap
telegrapby, aud has summoned the press to
its aid in the battle that seems about TO
open all along the line. 1t has rapidly ex-
tended its facilities, and now reaches every
point OF Importance in the Uaited States
and Canads, 40 that it is able to fight its
rival in the latter's own territory inch by
inch. Encouraged by its energy, a great
nisj)rity Of the journals formerly at the
mercy of the Western Union in the matter
Of telegraphic news service, have thrown
of the yoke and struck out for independ-
ence. The result is that to day, we under
stand, nearly three-fourths of the entire news
service of the Associated Press is being
Transmitted over the younger line at con-
siderable saving in expense, while the "spe
cials" threaten very soon to monopol;zs all
its wires at night in the North and North
western States. The Mutual Union has so
far proven a godsend to the people.

Ehe M ontSOmery county AODacc0 crop.
In Montgomery county, good deal of land
was set in tobacco, says a correspondent of
the Nashville American, and fears were en-
tertained by many planters who canvassed
their tobacco plant beds that they would lose
their plants. The canvas forced the growth
of the plants, and they were getting too large
Indeed, many, in order 10 save their plants,
prepared the land and set them in the damp,
freshly ly-made hills. The remunerstive prices
the weed is bringing has stimulated farmers,
and every plant will be set that can; farmers
in this section working harder and closer
than ever before. They have to dig and
delve harder to make ends meet
in this day of reapers and NOW
ers, and other improved implements
than in early times, when the hauling was
done in ox-carts, and the plowing done with
plows having wooden moldboards, with L
cleyis in the beam. Many farmers are learn
ing to rely on other crops, and are gradually
beginning to diversity their crops, with good
results. Before the war nobody here thought
of anything but niggers, land and tobacco.

Franklin Reuiew, 25th: "The rope works
running over the wheat crops with an ex-
tended rope to shake the army worm from
the wheat stalks) was in great demand last
This is a new idea, we think,
and we advise every farmer to take advan-
tage of it, for it may be the means of saving
his wheat. The method is thus: A long rope,
with some one at each of its ends, is dragged
across the top of the wheat, and the worms
(that fall to the ground at the least shock
are easily knocked off and stunned, and are
unable to get up to the eating point again
during that day. This being repeated every
morning will finally destroy them.n

GRACEFUL TRIBUTE TO THE GEORGIA
SUFFERER.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-Last Thursday
Senator Hoar was seen industriously circu-
lating a paper. 1t was noticed that every
senator readily signed it. Considerable
curiosity was expressed as to the contents OF
the paper in which the Massachusetts, senator
was so actively interested, and every senator
was SO ready to sign. 1t was a letter ad
dressed TO Senator B. II. Hill, at Eureka
Springs, and read as follows: "Your associ-
ates and friends in the Senate have read with
great satisfaction the statement in the morn
ing papers that your physicians regard the
symptoms in your case as giving ground Tor
great encouragement. We desire to assure
you of our affectionate regard, of our sym-
pathy with you in your severe trial and our
admiration for the courage and patience with
which you have encountered it." Senator
Hoar wrote the letter and signed it first. He
watched every senator who entered the cham
Der during the day and secured sixty-one sig
natures. When he handed the letter to SEN
ator Brown he said: every senator who has
been here to-day has signed this, and every
one seemed TO consider it privilege to sign
it." Tonight the testimonial was sent to
Senator Hill, accompanied by a cordial let
letter from Senator Brown. The news of the
suffering senator's improvement has been
received here with great pleasure.

the runners in the Organez and San Andre

Pharisee and sadducee,

To church the two together went,
Both, doubtless, on devotion bent,
The parson preached with fluent ease,
On Pharisees and Sadducees.
And as they homeward slowly walked,
The lovers on the sermon talked,
And he-he deeply loved the maid
In soft and tender accents said:
Darling. do you think that we
Are Pharisee and Sadducee?'
She flashed on him her bright black eyes
In one swift look of vexed surprise,
And thus he fastened to aver,
He was her constant worshIper;
But, darling, insist" said he,
THAT you are very fair / see,
know you don't care much for me-
And that makes me so sad you see.''

The telephone company of Zurich, Switz-

convenience Of its subscribers, eleven others
that are open to the general public. Into
these anyone may enter and have the use OF
a telephone for a quarter of an hour for
small fee, and may thus through the central
offices, communicate with any OF the com
pany's subscribers. This is as it should be,
and it is creditable 10 the enterprise OF
Zurich that it should, as we believe, be the
first town to establish such public conven-
ience. The example is worth following.
