PROFESSOR DODGE, the stetistician of the
agricultural Department, maintains that
the crop OF 1888 will equal the crop of
1882. The damage done by early frost TO
the corn in Michigan and Wisconsin was
made possible by the use of seed from
Kansas and Missouri, which takes two or
three weeks longer to mature than Chic
and Indiana seed. Ohio and Indiana corn
escaped, when the othergrade was Scotch
ed" Still he says it may be safely calou-
lated the country will produce as much
corn in 1888 as in 1882.

HAzEN as weather prophet is hum
bug Of greater proportions than Virgins.
With ali the appliances and resources of
the signal service he is seldom able to pre-

out flaming bulletin announcing the ad-
vance of cold wave, accompanied by
severe frost on Friday and Saturday
nights. The wave did not materialize,
nor did the frosts come. Those who we're
so foolish as to bank on Hazen's predic-

Promptly at Sis yesterday morning,
the gentlemen and ladies of the Railway
Mail service party put in an appearance
at the union depot in still further defiance
of the unpropitious weather which has
marred the excursion period Of their visit,
but which signally failed to dampen their
spirits and the ardor of their enjoyment
of the full bill of fare of pastime prepar-
ed for them by the Sixth division of the
service, whose special guests they
were, and whose praises they will ever
sing.
They were soon loaded under the careful
supervision of Messis. Bcsworth and Bean
upon special train furnished by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
company and were whirled up to Minneapo-
lis on the short line in four drawing room
coaches, Deputy Postmaster 7. E. Hayes

DISSEMINATING at Hotel Lyndale they
were ushered into its spacious dining hall,
where an elegant repast was given by the
citizens Of Minneapolis, which was rich in
Wand and edible, and to which 25O
guests and hosts paid their
heartiest devoirs. The conclusion of the
feast of body was followed by flow Of
soul which was exceedingly happy and en-
joyable.
These exercises, always successful when
based upon full stomachs, were opened by
a salutatory and welcoming address on the
part of the mail service of Minneapolis
to the gentlemen and ladies of the railway
mail service assembled, C. J. Bragdon, Esq,
acting as their eloquent representative,
whose lingual efforts elected the warmest
applause.

Whatever the cause, don't

And conquer all with love! With hands
Outstretched as eager brothers reach
When stormy seas and trackless LANDS
Have long divided them, let each
Man slay his man with love. Aye,
teach
The world the art Of war; to know
That love beats down the bravest foe.
And that hate shall cease forever
And wars forever cease,
Teach marshaled, piteous Europe
The victory Of peace.
To you, brave men, Peace makes ap'
peal,
To you who know the awful woe
OF studied war, who bore the steel
Above that noblest, brayest foe
That ever fell, saw lifted there
Pale boyish faces, touched white
hands
That dropped the sword to lift in pray
er
And die along the blood-soaked lands.
To you Peace makes appeal for peace !;
For only he who bears a scar
Can know the awful agonies
That tracks the trade of war.
Grim heroes of an age, the dream
OF Calvary behooyes the brave.
When next your battle banners CLEAN
In glad reunion, let them wave
Beyond Potomac's stored storm.
Recross and meet again the gray;
Meet there as you met here to-day.
As June to May, blend to gray!
Strike hands, and hold as honored
guest
Each brave and battered hero
You last met breast to breast.

Defeat like that as win the fight,
Grand men, you, too, have donned the

Beats ever on that further shore
Dread muff1ed notes none disobey.
FIJI up your wasting ranks with

Fill up, bout face, and so prepare
To cross together; aye, to vie
In valor in that crossing where
Nor blue nor gray shall signify.

Death Of Mr.. Charles G. Fulton.

Not only in Baltimore, but through
ont the United Sta.es many friends will
regret to read the announcement that
Charles Carroll Fulton is M more. Ser
suey and without struggle, in the
bosom Of family to whom he was most
iendery devoted, he passed away on
Thursday morning at $40 o'clock, at
his residence, No. 47S Eutaw Place.
For over 80 years Mr. Fulton has been
identified with the Baltimore american,
and since 1862 as sole proprietor. lie

greatest leclension; he leaves it pros
porous and valuable Journal Ii is only
simple justic, to say that his has been
the ruling spirit which has directed its
policy. aud made it what it is Latterly
his health has been feeble, and he was
compelled to withdraw from the active
management In the hope of obtaining
restoration he had travelled much ia for
eign lands, as well as at home.
Mr.. Fulton, like Mr. Greeley Of New
York; Messrs Swain, Abel d Simmons.
and Mr. Forney. Of Philadelphia; Mr..
Cowardin Of Richmond; Messrs. Lums-
den 4 Kendall Of New Orleans; Starbuck
of Cincinnati, and others, was q practi-
cal printer, and started at the fcunda-
ton stone ofjournalism, Since 1887 he
was setting type in the composing room
Of the daily SIM of this city, and in this
vocation, as a compositor, laid the plans
for his future, and resolved that he
would rise as others before him had
done. That he was rewarded with most
aattering and gratifying success the jour
nal he brought to its present position
and the magnificent building he erected
out Of its profits well attest.
While deceased was conceded to be
ready newspaper paragraphist, it was in
descriptive writing that he cxcelled,
and it is quite within the rage of proba-
blity, that no tourist or traveller had
more Interested readers than Mr.. Fulton
in his European correspondence, nor
was any writer ever more extensively
copied by the press os the United States.
So urgent became the demand, that Mr..
Fulton was compelled to yield, and the
letters were complied and published in
book form. His fecundity seemed to
to be exhaustless, and his choice of Ian
guage most striking and attractive.
A beautiful trait in the character of
deceased was his regard and sympathy
for his employees. Not one, from the
humblest apprentice to those occupying
high positions Of trust and RESPONSE bilty
ever fail to refer to that fact when an
opportunity was offered. Such men
leave memory that remains forever
fragrant, and many who have been the
recipients of his bounty, both in and out
Of his employment, will drop tear Of
genuine regret over his grave to-mor-
row
He leaves the american in the man
agement of his son-in-law, Gen. Felix
Agnus, for the benefit of his family, OF
whom a widow, one son, four daug hters
survive. There will be no change in
the policy of the paper.-Batttmorean.
