A SUNDAY SMOKE.
Pat Prefers His Dhadeed 10 Cigar in
Smoking Car.

Philadelphia Times.
ave have lots of funny scenes on our
train" said the conductor of the mid
night train from New York TO Wash.
ingtOn by way of Philadelphia, land
also many that come near being tragic.
This train is faverite for beats. One
of the funniest things | ever heard Of
happened on this train last night. An
old gentleman took his seat well for
ward on the smoker, and, having lighted
a fragrant Havana, leaned back in
peaceful enjoyment and contemplation.
Hut soon he was disturbed by sckning
odor from the other side of the car,
where a young Irish railroader had
taken his seat and was theoretically
putting black dhudeen that looked
az though II had seen ten years service.
1t was loaded evidently, with plug tobac-
go, and was hard to keep alight, as was
shown by the lip smScking and con-
slant putting ofthe smoker. As passed
him tue old gentleman stopped me aud
whispered: Can't you get that Irish.
man to stop smoking his horrible piper
| told him the smoking car was for
smokers and that there were no regula-
tons as to the styles of pipes used.
Then he whispered: Won't you hand
him this cigar? Maybe that will stop
him. l took the oigar-evidently q
prime Cuban-and handed 1t 70 the
1rishman, explaining that the gentle.
man opposite presented it to him. His
honor is a gintleman,' said Pat, putting
at his dhudeen, to keep it alight, 'and
I'll smoke it on Sunday after dinner
And then he went on peacefully puff
ing at his pipe. Finally the old gentle
man moved into the rear Of the car to
get away from the Odor."

CROPS AND FRUITS IN EASTERN OHIO.
To tie Editor of the Register.

To the Editor Of the Register.
JEFFERSON Co., O.-Meadows are eX-
ira good, and there will be an abundance
of hay. The wheat crop in this part OF
the country is comparatively failure.
There is here and tuere Il field that will
perhaps make twenty bushels to the
acre, but there are plenty of them that
will not make five. / never saw so
much timothy among the wheat as
there Is this season; some fields would
make ton OF hay or more per acre.
Late sOwn wheat is the best, but it is all
afflicted with fly; however, the early
sown is proof against it. Although
not as large for the season as | have
seen it, corn is making very promis
ing appearance. | never saw u more
evenly stand Oh the ground. More
than halt Of it was drilled, and is giving
good satisfaction. This is the second
year We have put ours in that way, aud
taking into consideration the advanta-
ges offorded for putting on phosphate, it
is certainly to be preferred to the old
way. There are farmers in this part Of
the country who have been drilling
their corn for ten or twelve years, and
who have no notion Of giving it up. The
oats crop gives promise of being one OF
the best for many years; the fear now
is that they will be so big that they will
fall down.
There has not been a single clip OF
wool sold about here, nor have heard
of any luyers. Most people talk of Acc
per pound, but l believe Csc would
move a large quantity of it. The clip
is up 10 the average, both as regards
quantity and quality.
The apple.crop is going to be light
one; some trees are pretty full, but q
great many have none at all on. Peach
trees are very full, while small fruits OF
the various kinds will be abundant. The
prospect now is that potatoes will be a
drug in the market. The beetles have
been very scarce and have done but
little damage.
There Is quite large quantity Of old
wheat held by farmers for high prices,
but at this time the prospect is not very
flsttering, judging from the market

Peach leaves are poisonous and often
