We presume that, owing to the scarcity
and dearness of peaches, the majority of
our readers were not surieitcd on this de-
licious fruit last season. At the present
time. however, the outlook for an abund-
ance of peaches in our markets the COM
ing summer is very favorable. Reports
from the great peach-growing districts
represent the prospects of the coming
peach crop as universally favorable. The
growers of Newcastle Co.. Del. in the
Wilmington Every Evening are quoted as
saying that the "buds are all right" and
"twothirds of the risks are safely passed, "
while the same paper publishes similar
advices from the Delaware peninsular
and the eastern shore of Maryland. Sum-
married, the present prospects indicate
more than an average crop over the entire
peach-growing region from which the
New England and Middle States chiefly
draw their supplies.

AUGUSTA, MAINE WEDNESDAY MORNING. MARCH I5 1882
Datlu Kenneher journal.
The Commissioner of Agriculture

Quite a number of influential journals
throughout the country, as well as several
Grange papers, have a chronic habit of as
sailing DR.. Loring. the present Commits
sioner of Agriculture. in not very be-
coming manner. Artlessly they sneer at
him as 'frothing politician who parades
himself as an agricultural light" Ironi-
cally he is spoken of as ian impressive or
ator who may be able to .diffuse' some
instruction at cattle shows and other gath
erings where eloquence is in demand. y
Now the truth is. DIR. Loring is man OF
ability. a practical farmer who has the in
terests of farmers at heart and who is
using every means in his power to aid the
farming classes. That the efforts of the
Commissioner have by no means been un-
availing is evident. Never for many Il
year has agriculture received so much at
tention At the National capital rs it has at
the present, or have the needs of our
farmers been presented to Congress in so
forclble manner or as successfully
as they have to the Forty Seventh. DIR.
Loring. in the face OF losing his own po-
sition as Commissioner of Agriculture if
favorable action was taken by Congress.
has urged the necessity of making the
Agricultural Department Cabinet one.
and the prospect is that this bill which has
gone begging SO long will be passed. 1t
is also probable that several other bills
presented in the interest of farmers will
become laws. Many farmers in this sec
ton who never before have had seeds or
reports from the Department, have this
year received supply. 1t really looks to
a candid observer as though DIR. Loring
as Commissioner would equal, if not sur
pass. any of his predecessors.

MOTHER LOVE.

We were at railroad junction one night
last week waiting few hours for train,
in the waiting-roo in the only rocking.
| chair, trying to talk brown-eyed boy
to sleep, who talks great deal when he
wants to keep awake. Presently freight
train arrived, and beautiful little old
woman came in, escorted by great big
German, and they talked in German, he
giving her evidently lots of information
about the route she was going, and telling
her about her tickets and her baggage.
check, and occasionally patting her on the
arm. At first our United States baby,
who did not understand German, was
tickled to hear them talk, and he "snick-
cred at the peculiar sound of the language
man put his hand up TO the good old lady's
cheek, and said something encouraging,
and great big tear came to her eye, and
she looked as happy as a queen. The little
brown eyes of the boy opened pretty big,
and his face sobered down from its laugh.
and he said
"Papa, it is his motherr'
We knew it was, but how should four
year-oId sleepy baby, that couldn't under.
stand German, tell that the lady was the
big mans mother, and we asked him how
he knew, and he said:
"Oh, the big man was so kind to her"
The big man hustled out, we gave the
rocking chair to the little old mother, and
presently the man came in with baggage
mau, and to him he spoke English. He
said
"This is my mother, aud she does not
speak English. She is going to Iowa, and
l have got to go back on the next train,
but l want you to attend TO her baggage,
and see her on the right train, the rear car,
with good seat near the center, and tell
the conductor she's my mother. Aud here
is dollar for you, and l will do as much
for your mother some time.
The baggage man grssped the dollar with
one hand, and grasped the big mans hand
with the other, and looked at the little
German with an expression that showed
that he had mother, toe, and we almost
know the old lady was well treated. Then
we put the sleeping mind on bench
and went out on the platform and got &C.
quaiuted with the big German, and he
talked of horse-trading, buying and selling
and everything that showed he was live
business man, ready for any speculation,
from buying yearling colt to crop of
hops or barley, and that his life was busy
one, and at times full of hard work, dis.
appointment, hard roads but with all Of
this hurry and excitement he was kind to
his mother, and we loved him Just little,
and when, after few minutes talk about
business, he said, "You must excuse me
| must go In the depot and see if my mother
wants anything" we felt like taking his
fat, red hand and kissing it. Ga the
love of the mother is the same in any Ian
guage, and it is good in all langusges.-

The mining outlook in Nevada at present
is said to be not fattering But this
talk is used only by the few who are CON
tinualiy seeking for better fields, and are
never content with present prospects. The
CanielariS True FissYre sums up the situa-
ton by saying that " Nevada to day, while
not highly prosperous in its mining pur.
suits, is holding its even way, with proba-
hilities of increased bullion production.
The great Comstock, Botwithssan the
cry of dull times, gives employment to
l,600 men and yet the people there de.
cry the times and declare the entire lode
has gone to the dogs. Eureka is prosper
Gus, and while its people say it is dull, it ia
employing nearly as many men as it ever
did; its bullion output is greater. The
old Ward district has had new life infused
into it and Is again on the up grade; while
Cherry Creek and the camps in White
Pine county are each and all working
many men, developing a vast country.
II Is slow, TO be sure, but these things
are not accomplished in day. In the old
Phoebe district there is still much work
being done. Tuscarora is experiencing its
second life. Recent Developments and
good management have made it what il is,
and If nothing goes wrong it bids fair to
be one of the big camps of the State. Ia
the southwestern part of the State-Lan.
der, Nye and Esmeralda-the country is
virgin yet to a great degree, and another
year will prove more generally what it is
worth. Along the line OF the Carson and
Colorado Railroad much prospecting is
beiPg done, and of the many men at work
some are sure to make discoveries. With
so much to encourage it, it is not the truth
to say that the mining interests of Nevada
are declining, for such is not the case aside
from the fact that the great bonanzas of
the Comstock are not yielding as they did
six or eight years ago"

LADIES' DIARIES, 1882 1882.

Many of the diaries kept by " society"
ladies one hundred years ago, and prin ted
for the delectation OF nineteenth-century
readers, may not be very brilliant literary
efforts, but they admirably serve to show
how simple and unassuming were the lives
of quality folk in ancient times. The
annexed is excepted from the recently
printed diary of Lady Sourapple
July l6th.-John took yarn to the
weaver, and brought back fax, spices add
sugar. The stage wagon had not arrived
when he left Ipswich, and there was no
package from London. My lord was to
send hangings for the large drawing room,
but it matters not"
This, the reader may say. is very COM
mou.plsce. And so it is. If it had been
written by the obscure Mary Jane Boggins
instead Of the Lady Sourapple, it would
not have been embslmed in print but the
object in quoting it is to compare it with
couple of extracts from the diary of a
" saciety" lady of lSS2-which will not be
printed for the benefit of readers century
hence. albeit quite as interesting as the
Lady SJurapple literature:
'Decem5er lSth.-Psinted lovely
s:ork on mas pickle jar. Decided to have
my new hellotrope damasse made without
train. Read three chapters of 'The
Midnight Shrek or, The Painting Bride.
Purchased charming velvet collar with a
gold clasp for dear little Fido's neck.
Charles Augustus called this evening. He's
too sweet for anything
''Dect mber 2lst.-WOrked supre naly
beautiful pen.wiper for Christmas present
to Charles Augustus. 1 gave him pair
of utterly intense slippers of my own en-
broidering last year, but they were three
sizes too small A pen-wiper is never
misfit. Brother Tom asked me TO sew on
suspender button. He has no regard for
the delicate state of my health. Was at
Mrs. De Upkrust's German last night,
and danced every set. Didn't get home
until 3 o'clock this morning. I must now
dress for the Kodphish reception, which is
to be too utterly all but.
