CROP PROSPECTS.
BounIiEuI HarVests Assured In all
Sections

The New York Times devotes
several pages to a comprehensive re-
view of the crop prospects. 1t
shows that despite floods, trosts and
a backward spring, the general con-
dition, with few exceptions, prom
ises an abundant harvest through
out the country. From thirty-seven
states and four s-nearly
all except those whose agricultural
products are of no impOrtance-the
most trustworthy Information has
been obtained. The report is thus
summarized: The small grains, des-
pite bad spring weather, promises
well. Winter wheat will give an
increased yield in nearly every state
except Indiana, Ohio aud New York.
The last named only will produce
much less than the average. Spring
wheat is much more fiattering in its
promise. In the great grain states
west of the Mississippi the increase
is especially marked, in some cases
as much as fifty per cent. In some
of the old grain states other grams
are replacing wheat-barley, oats
and rye especially. In all these
large increase in acreage is re-
ported, and promises large crop.
Insects and rust are reported in
some places, but only in Tennessee
is much alarm felt. Corn shows
very large increase in nearly every
state where it is cultivated at all.
In the north it shares to some extent
IN the displacement of winter wheat,
and in the south il is replacing cot
ton to some extent. Emigration
and the pushing of railroad con-
structiOn are prominent factors in
the increase of the grain fields.
Cotton is expected to give at least
an Terage crop. The area devoted
to it is much smaller, floods, par
tial abandonment of the sail cotton"
system, and the inability of planters
to obtain sufficient supplies, work
together to this result. The free use
of fertilizers, however, is expected
TO keep the yield up to the average.
The planters throughout the south
have been much hampered, also, by
the difficulty in obtaining laborers.
The sugar-cane crop is looking
splendidly, except in a few cases,
in some of the flooded districts,
where il has been killed. The Gull
tivation of rice is receiving more at
tentioD, aud probably the average
crop will be secured. Tobacco does
not show much change an increased
acreage will be planted in some of
the middle and northern states.
Hay aud grass crops have been much
injured throughout the country, and
generally a light yield is expected.
The high price OF potatoes has led
farmers 10 devote an increased aver
age to that vegetable this year. The
fruit crops have been the chief suf-
ferers. Frosts have about destroyed
peaches and small fruit in Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware and the
Hudson Valley. Other fruits will
give an average yield, except per-
haps cherries. The diaries in the
north and east are receiving more
attention, and, with Embarrassing, re-
placing the cultivation of grain.
The great cattle-growing interests
of the west are most flourishing,
the mild winter on the plains having
been favorable.

A project to erect monumcn. in the
Capitol grounds at Washington TO the nom.
ory Of the ilustrious John Marshall, Chief
Justice of the UnitcdsStates, has been re-
vived in Philadolphia. IL seems that In
1885 number of Philadelphia lawyers
subscribed a sum aggregating $1,000 toward
this object, when the matter was tcmporar-
lily abandoned and the money invested in
the loan of the city Of philadelphia. some
time ago, upon the death of Peter Mccall,
one Of the original trustees of the fund,
among his assets was found the certificate
of loan and cash, with tho interest collected
upon it, the whole amounting TO about $780,
600. The Court of Common Pleas of tho
city has just granted the petition of the
surviving subscribers to tho fund that a
committee of the Law Association of Phila-
delphia be empowered to receive the money
and apply it to the purpose for which IL was
subscribed. 1t is believed the sum on hand
will be sufficient if an appropriation from
Congress for n suitable pedestal be granted.
OF course Congress can be depended on to
do this, so IL is altogether probable that the
Capitol grounds will at an early day be
graced by monument TO the memory of
one of the greatest jurists the country has
ever produced.

Cold grew the world, and from the distance

Turned 10 the hover that faded In my hand,
TIL closer sank the shadows DER the land,
And darkness yelled the skies.
My thoughts grew Into words.

what is Legal Hanging Here.

Several years since Con. B. f. Butler de-
Tended policeman here named Brien,
who was charged with the murder of
man named Cunningham at picnic at
Green Springs Pavilion near Georgetown
O'Brien was convicted and sentenced to be
executed, but President Grant commuted
his sentence to imprisonment for life. Dur
ing the argument Of the question for new
trial, which was refused, Gen. Butler said
he did not intend that his client (O'Bren)
should be hung unless he was hanged lie.
gally, and to do it the prisoner should be
hung in chains He claimed that tho Mary
land law, which is in force here in regard
to hangings, came from the old English
LAW, and that it was never changed in re-
gard to the use of chains, though custom
had grown up which allowed the use of a
rope for an execution. The communication
of the sentence postponed the question for
the time. 1t is understood that one of the
reasons for Gen. Buffers visit to this city
at this time is to call attention to the law
in regard to executions, and to suggest TO
Mr.. Scovillc that he insist that it be carried
out in Guiteau's case to the letter. 1t is
understood that Gen. Butler still maintains
that an execution under the law in this
District is not legal unless chains are used

Dearly Purchased Lesson.

The verdict obtained by Miss Mary
Swain against the Continental Passenger
Railway Company of Philadelphia contains
a lesson for the managers of such concerns
in all cities which they would do well to
heed. Miss Swain was in crowded car,
and having to stand up, was thrown Off her
balance by sudden start, and in attempt
ing TO recover herself sustained what the
surgeons call "spinal twist" She sued
the company aud has been awarded YER
dict for $4,000 damages. Under the cir
cumstances the twist given to the company
is proper one, the lesson being that it will
pay TO provide passengers with seats. Com
menting on the verdict the Philadelphia
Press says; "The coming street car will
divide the seats in the ferry-boat style, and
a company with an eye to business will
provide cars enough to seat its passengers"

Rights,

his face said Il am Mr.. Brewster, the

keeper. "You have the privileges of the
floor but your lady has not, under the
rules. Senator's wives are no. admitted to
the floor of the Senate while that body is
in session." The Attorney General moved
slowly away, but whether or not he reported
the fact to Mr.. Lapham, chairman of the

instance of the abridgment of the rights of
women is not known

Blood up in south Carolina.

Two members of the South Carolina SEN
ate, Fishburne, of Coleton and Smythe, of
Charleston, exchanged irritating personali-

such threats outside Of the Senate chamber
as led their friends to take out warrants
for their arrest in order to have them bound
over to keep the peace. They were taken
before trial justice, who required each of
them to give bail in the sum of 5000, but

formation was withdrawn, it being under
stood that the quarrel had been made up.
