Ohio Crops.

COLUMBUS, O., April s.-The April re-
port of the Ohio board of agriculture,
based on returns from over 700 townships,
gives the following percentage as COM
pared with April 1, 1882: Wheat 60; old
wheat in producers hands %; old corn
ditto 80; rye, condition So; barley &c; clo-
yer 80; clover, average 100; live stock, con-
aition COWS 1903; cattle 103; horses 103;
sheep 100; spring lambs So; stock hogs 1O1 !;
spring pigs SO; number of COWS 90; cattle
SO; horses IS; sheep 80; stock hogs Sc. The
fine condition of live stock is due in part
to fine hay crop and fair corn crop in
1882. The wheat outlook is the most
gloomy for eight years in Ohio. The severe
cold with bare ground killed the
tops to the surface in January aud Febru-
airy. Warm rains and good weather till
May may improve the condition up to 60
per cent. Bad weather will send it below
80 per cent. Official kilograms received
April from other states give the follow
ing percentages of winter wheat compared
with the same time last year: Indiana, 70;
Illinois, 60; Kansas, 81; Kentucky about
20; Michigan, 20; Wisconsin, about 70;
California, about e.; Minnesota spring
wheat probable average IS. Reduced to
bushels the loss IN these eight states will
be 96,000,000 bushels. or 80 per cent, and
they gave PSI. 100000 of the 59C,000,000
bushels raised IN the United States last
year.

THE good deacon Nettieton, of the Min
neapolis Tribune, appears to have devoted
his evenings last week to sitting in the
gallery Of their Grand Opera house, and by
aid of an opera glass, counting the bald
headed men in the audience. The good
deacon reports that out of 437 heads 329
were bald-headed. He then endeavor5 to
ascertain the reason for all this badness
and finds two of the causes to be excessive
brain work and intellectual strain. As
Deacon Nettleton was in the gallery, of
course he does not count his own head
among the 329. If he did he would have
to account for it in some other way than
the reasons stated above. 1t is probably
because he is such truly good deacon that
he is not aware that his headed screed
is bad give-away. If he was only as well
posted on the bald-headed question as he
is on selling land near Glyndon, he might
not have snoozed for week in the gallery
in order to obtain Sunday editorial.

''Too much communism" is an affection
that has wrought great destructiyeness to
business interests at San Francisco. The
hoodlums of the sand-lots have triumph,
but costly one. Capitalists are with
drawing their means to other and safer
centers. 'It is deplorable fact" says a
commercial paper Of that city, shat our
moneyed men are leaving this coast just
about as fast as they can make arrange
ments to CO." To this may be added an
instance of local testimony. A few years
ago gentleman who had resided at San
francisco for number of years. came to
st. Paul for the health of his family, in
tending ultimately to return. He engaged
in business here, but placed his means so
that they could be withdrawn on short no
tice. Last summer he paid visit to
San Francisco with a view OF re-
location there. A stay of few
weeks convinced him of the great change
communism had wrought, and determined
to remain here, and on his return he made
his investments permanent. Time may.
and doubtless will work a revolution IN
favorable to the domination of the com
mune spirit, but until then men and CAPT
tai will avoid the perplexities which the
situation now presents.

SWEDEN is the greatest match manufac-

duct is among its chief exports. The ex-
port of matches manufactured in this
country is very trifing, but after the

will lead to the seeking of foreign mar

manufacturers will have an advantage over
Sweden, as the producers there have to

well stated, as it is demonstrated that the

Boston, August 26.-An aiagm was ruug

tenement house No. Thatcher's Court.
The house was owned by the heirs of Dem

out four were smothered and one fatally

street could do nothing toward saving
them. The flames were subdued in less
John Savage, the first to discover the fire,
gave the alarm and jumped to the ground,

three times to enter the burning building
to save her other boy, Thomas, and re-

him to Join them and made take certain
pledge of secrecy, were organized to pro-
ceed to the Yellowstone Park. They left

wall be fed but kept prisoners, while mem
bers Of the party act as pickets 70 prevent
