A love story: Miss Rosalie Rose

was sitting one summer evening with
Hollis Holworthy on the veranda. The
moon was shining brilliantly. Silence

he, looking at his watch, "i: is only ten

reflection of su extensive confagration
IN front of which the tower of the cas-
tile Of st. Angelo, the cupalo of st. Pc
ter's and the outline of Monte Mario
as seen from the Pincio, stood out il
prominent relief. Immediately above
the horizon there was . broad belt o.
orange red and above that another o
green, surmounted by the crimson glare
of the aurora. The sky Of the eastern
hemisphere presented q uniform sea
green tint. The phenomenon was re
peated the following morning and ev

causes Of this beautiful display mus
equally have affected q large part o
the globe.
The Washington Agricultural De
partment on :he llth inst, sent out th'
following crop report. The season To-
cotton picking since the occurrence o
frost, as in the gathering of the cotto'
crop, has been quite favorable Th
local estimates of aggregate produc
have not been diminished, and the ton
of general comment has been compare
lively hopeful. The indications of the
December returns favor q reduction o
about 13 per cent. from the crop o
last year.
The returns Of corn production ar
more conservative than those of Octo.
Der and November, from the injury +
sof, corn by warm, moist weather.
North of the foriieth parallel the cor
that has been cribbed is in worse con
dition than for many years The pro
portion of unmercLsntable corn is there
fore large. The final estimate of qua .
tity produced will! fall few million

turns. or twenty-.hree bushels per acre

quality, which seriously increases tn
practical shortage The losses frou
packing IN masses, or injury o. sof
corn from mild and wet weather, are
treated as after harvest considerations
An investigation will be made of tb'
extent of such injury.
The wheat aggregate slightly exceeds
400. 100000 bushels The oats cro]
is about 4 per cent. larger than that o
last year, and exceeds 500, 900, ,00'
bushels.
The yield of rye and barley is a lit
tie less than in 1882, and buckwhea
is reduced more than one third.
