Michigan Crop Report.

The official June crop report is as follows:
For this report returns have been received
from SCI correspondents, representing 600
townships. Five hundred and sixty-two of
these returns are from 800 townships in the
southern four tiers of counties.
The weather during May was favorable for
wheat grass and spring-seeding, but unfa-
vorable for complaining and general farm
work. The average temperature here at
Lansing was 81. % degrees Fahrenheit This
is but eighteen-hundredths of degree high
er than the average for May, 1882, and is 8 SO
degrees Fahrenheit lower than the average
OF the eighteen Yeas preceding 1882, as de-
termined from observations at the Michigan
State Agricultural College, near Lansing.
The rainfall during the month amounted to
6 81 inches, exceeding the rainfall in May.
1882, by two inches and exceeding the aver
age of four years at the Office of the State
Board of Health by l. 30 inches, and of seven
teen years at the Agricultural College by
3 81 inches
The average temperature of the first ten
days of June was five degrees warmer this
year than last; the rainfall during the same
period was about the same as in 1882.
The condition of wheat in the southern
four tiers OF counties is ~ per cent, and in
the counties north Of southern four tiers So
per cent the comparison being with condi-
ton one year ago The figures, due allow
ance being made for the amount winter
killed, indicate crop of about q, COO, 900, or
nearly lO,OOO, OOO bushels less than IN lSS2.
Owing to the wet weather no inconsider
able amount of corn remained to be planted
June l, hence, it is probable that future re-
ports will materially change the figures for
this crop 1t will be remembered that last
year great deal of corn was planted in
Michigan after June /.
Apples promise in the southwestern and
north eastern parts of the State 81 per cent :,
in the central and northwestern % per cent. :,
and in the southeastern IS per cent of an
average crop. The average for the State
is 30
Peaches promise in the central 81 per
cent, the northeastern ~ per cent, the
southwestern 90 per cent, the northwestern
81 per cent, and the northeastern 73 per
cent. of an average crop The average for
the State is 90
The first footings of the sheep and wool
columns in the township reports received
from the Supervisors of 912 townships show
that there were 2,079, 1873 sheep sheared in
1889, yielding IL sos, $40 pounds of wool. and
that the number of sheep in the same town
ships the present year is !, 193, 007, which is
per cent more than in 1885,. II there has
been corresponding increase in the remain
ing townships there will be 2, 253, 343 sheep
sheared in the State the present year, and
the total clip will be about Il, 81, GOO pounds.

John Kelly, the Tammany Leader.

HAS John Kelly further aspirations
in politics."
eyes, he desires TO be made Comp
troller of New York again. Kelly's am
bition is almost boundless, but he is
cool enough to see that he can not be
Senator from this State, nor Governor
of New York, nor the Democratic can
didate for Vice-President, though he is
bold enough to believe that any of these
things are reasonable for him to ask.
He is a tolerably-shrewd man, however,
having been all his life in politics here,
and he knows the condition of the pub
lie pulse There is no man in the
United States who has anything like
the intense, almost blood thirsty, fol-
lowing of Kelly, and he has large in
huence in the Roman Catholic Church.
| venture to say that there are 10000
apple women, keepers of corner-stands,
cart-men, etc, who regard John Kelly
as the chief statesman of this country.
You must have seen an instance in
the lectures he is now delivering all
over the country. He writes up lee
ture or two on the influence of Irishmen
in America, or something of that kind.
He then delivers it wherever he is in
vited, and can secure large audience.
A certain number of devoted adherents
in this city go with him and help work
up the enthusiasm. Consequently, Mr..
Kelly is extending his hold on his race
and his church into the interior of this
State, and adjoining States.
What do you think of Kelly's char
acter?"
He is about the same kind of man
that Daniel O'Connell was. O'Connell
was demagogue, though cool and
crafty one, and little timid and con-
servative. As O'Connell walked down
Sackville street in Dublin, and bowed
to the vendors of apples and the drivers
of jaunting cars, Kelly, as he goes down
Broadway or the Bowery, or through
the street, delights in the quiet adula-
ton he receives. The old apple-woman
at one corner will say God reward
your At the next corner the aged con-
fectionery-vender will observe: May
God protect your A group of men will
whisper, John Kelly, and off will go
their hats. He loves that sort of
homage. There is no office which he
can receive which will give him any
thing like the power of Comptroller OF
New York city. Holding the purse
strings of this great metropolis, he has
it In his power TO serve friends of his in
many ways. He is fond of revenge, and
to be restored to the Comptrollership
will please him in this respect

Picking Flowers.

Baby crept to the door of room and
looked In. Oh, what a pretty room it
was 1t was full of flowers. The
whole floor was covered with roses and
lilies and great many more she didn't
know the names of.
She crept up to a great pink rose
which lay on some green leaves. She
liked roses, but they did not often give
her very nice ones for she had way of
looking at them and then pulling them
to pieces very fast.
But here she could help herself, and
no one to say, Alphabetically No,
no."
She snatched at the rose, but some
how she did not seem to get a good
hold of it. Then she tried again, but
still, to her great surprise, her little fat
hands missed it.
Then she crept over to where white
lily lay by big broken leaf She
thought it would be very nice to crush
it in her hand.
But she could not get hold of the lily,
either.
She crept on to another rose and
tried that. But it acted just like the
others. She beat it and said
observation-disclosures In
baby talk, you know, that meant, "You
are very bad naughty hower-won't
come to Baby"
Then she thought she would like to
smell it. She always gave very loud
shifts when she saw big people with
flowers.
So she bobbed down her little bit of
fuzzy head till she bumped her little
bit of a PIGGY nose.
Just then mamma came to look for
Baby. Baby lifted up her head and
said
"Aaaa-aaaa-A
Mammas always understand baby
talk. She knew in moment that Baby
was saying
Il want to get hold of all these pref
/ ty flowers, and why can't / ?"
Mamma snatched her up and Rugged
her till you would have thought there

CYCLONE.
A Section Of Missouri Visited by Ter
rifle Storm.

dispatch from Kansas City says: Liv-
ingston and Caldwell counties, No., were
visited by disastrous rain and wind storm
in the afternoon, 10Th inst, the storm coming
from the southwest. Large buildings were
destroyed and several persons killed and
drowned in the neighborhood of Kfdder.
The rain was preceded by a cyclone, which
made path 200 feet wide, tearing every
thing in its way, and three miles southwest
of the town il demolished the house OF W.
Thompson, G. Tracy and G. n. Johnson. Mr.
Tracy was badly injured by flying timbers,
and viii die All outbuildings were also
blown down and carried away, and the
crops in Caldwell county were damaged
to the amount of many thousands of dol
lars In Livingston county the center of the
storm seemed to be near Chilicothe, on the
line of the Hannibal and St Joe Railroad, al
though in the southern portion OF the
county q large amount of damage resulted
At Chillicothe farmer reported that threo
men were killed and at least fifteen more or
less wounded. Many farm-houses were un-
rooted and driven across the country and
the fruit and corn crops were seriously in
jured The southern portion OF Livingston
county is sparsely settled, and the reports
are every way unsatisfactory, IL being i'm
possible TO ascertain the exact situation.
The terrible rain storms Of the past week
have so completely cut off communication
throughout Western Missouri that 1t will take
at least twenty-four hours to know the ao-
curate losses of life and property.

Popular Fallacy Concerning Beef Tea.

You will even hear some doctors talk
about building up their patients on beef
tea. Now, the fact is that there is in a
bowl of beef tea but little, if any, more
nutriment than there is in a glass of
lemonade. How could there be? We
know that the principal constituent
parts of beef beside its 70 per cent. of
water, are albumen and fat. Now, al
bumen coagulates at 10 degrees Fair
enheit, and at 30, the boiling point, it
becomes like eggs hard boiled. AS a
consequence, the albumen contained in
the meat becomes entangled in the
meshes and is firmly held there. OF
course, then, the albumen does not find
its way into the beef tea. As for the
fat, the only remaining strengthening
ingredient, that comes to the top, and
is always carefully skinned off, for
nothing is more disgusting to sensi-
tive appetite than greasy beef tea. And
yet they will say that well-made beef
tea is very palatable, and seems to do
good in many cases of weak and disor-
dered stomachs. Stimulating, not
nourishing.
So it is and so it does. And yet beef
tea is not nourishing, however, and
when we are sick and have no appetite
we know that if we can get the stomach
to retain cup of beef tea it will not be
long before the organ will call for some
thing that is really substantial and nour-
ishing Professor" IN Nelo York

Railway Building i'm Russia.

Russia is making slow but sure
progress in the construction of her
railways. The lines are generally of
some commercial or strategic value.
They are constructed partly for eco
nomical purposes and partly in order
to give work to the immense number of
Russian engineers who are without en-
ployment, and who, together with the
whole of the Russian press, have long
been bitterly complaining of the con-
cessions granted to foreigners. The
Government has apparently decided to
give the preference in future to Rus
sian contractors, and, if the requisite
capital cannot be obtained from private
sources, to grant large subsidies.

husbands queer experience; A negro
woman entered into a conspiracy with a
man to get rid of her husband, and
fixed rope through the upper floor of
the house while her husband was absent,
and when he returned home the wife
met him as the door and greeted him
with many kisses and decoyed him un-
der the hole, while the man on the
upper floor dropped the moose over his
head; then the wife held her husband
hands and the man up stairs pulled the
rope. When they thought the husband
was dead they took him down and
dragged him off, and covered him up
for dead. When they had left, the old

PHILADELPHIA Record While work
men were making repairs in wall near
an old clubhouse in the yard of the Com
mercial Hotel, ON Market street, Gus
tavus Rickersberg, lad of IA, and two
companions instituted hunt for lost
base balls which had been knocked
over the wall. They failed to discover
any balls, but young Rickersberg
kicked up small fortune of $50, 200
with the toe of his boot. This treasure
was found in a small package wrapped
in an old copy of the New York Herald.
When the paper was broken off there
was disclosed heavy leather wallet,
stuffed to bursting with bonds and
mortgages, deeds, checks and notes,
amounting in the aggregate to over
$4,000. The contents of the wallet
were the property of John Stockwell,
and had been lost for several years.
At the time of its loss reward of $50
was offered for the return of the pa
pers, and when young Rickersberg
handed the wallet over to the lawyer
the long-standing reward was paid to
him, which. as he remarked, was "bet-

WE clip the following from the New
Orleans PjcGyltle: On Sunday a party
composed mainly of railroad officials
and contractors interested in the build
ing of the New Orleans and Northeast
ern railroad, took trip across Lake
Pontchartrain for the purpose of exam
lining the great trestlework now in
course of construction The entire
length of the trestlework, when COM
completed, will be twenty-one and
a half miles. This structure, which
will probably be the longest of the kind
in the United States, will also be one
of the most substantial Experts in
railroad building pronounce the sec
tions already finished the most perfect
specimens of trestle construction they
have seen. The piles average sixty
feet in length and are driven about
forty feet. In each bent there are four
piles and the bents are fifteen feet
apart. The caps of the piles are twelve
by fourteen inches, and the stringers
are six by sixteen inches, and three of
them on each side laid on edge. The
cross-ties are only four inches apart,
and ON them are bolted stringers, which
act as guard rails. The ties form a
secure decking to the trestlework, upon
which the wheels OF car could run
without danger of leaving the bridge
on account of the guard rails. The
trestlework, from beginning to end, is
one of the grandest undertakings con-
nected with railroad building in the
South. Some idea of its magnitude
may be formed from the statement
that the quantity of lumber required,
outside of the piles, is over $4,000, 600
