"A very large proportion of agricult-

mistakes that are made is in trying an

Orchards may fail more frequently
from too rich soil than from too poor.
When the soil is too rich there IS too
much growth of wood or too much
fruit, which then becomes poor and i'm
perfect, or drops or rots on the tree.
in this case it would be well to plow
the orchard, lime the soil well, and take
crop of oats or rye, and seed down
with clover, and NOW this or pasture
it. The trees should be pruned back
considerably and the fruit thinned out,
leaving but reasonable quantity on to
be atured. No tree can mature
properly all the fruit it sets--1oledo

THE OFFICE SEEKERS, GUIDE.

The rules and regulations prepared by
the civil service commission, it seems
reached the public, through the enterprise
of newspaper correspondents, particularly
the correspondent of the New York Times,
before they were seen by the president.
This fact somewhat ruffied that function
airy: and nobody has been able to satisfy
him that there was not some breach of
courtesy and absence of due care to pre-
vent the premature publication
among the members of the
commission. He stormed somewhat
over the matter, but finally
concluded to approve the rules, and affix
his august signature. The position of chief
examiner is vacant, but, aside from that,
the duties of the commission are mapped
out.
The rules which have the Presidential
approval are twenty-five in number, and in
their preparation good deal of unneces-
sary circumlocution has been permitted.
Two rules were thought to be necessary to
prohibit coercion of the political action of
any person in the government service by
any official. The following is a digest of
the remaining twenty rules of the Office
seekers guide:
All interference with elections by per-
sons in the civil service is forbidden; no
one in the civil service is to be regarded
under any obligation to contribute to any
political fund, and those who refuse to do
so are not to be in jeopardy for such re-
fusal; three branches of civil service are
established. the classified departmental
service, the classified customs service, the
classified postal service; provision is made
for open competitive examination to test
fitness for positions; the subjects of the ex-
animation are penmanship, photography,
copying and letter writing, arithmetic;
the elements of the English language; the
the proper construction of sentences; geog-
raphy; history and the government of the
United States; proficiency in each of these
subjects is to be credited to applicants in
proportion to the value of the knowledge
OF such subject in the branch of the SER
vice the applicant seeks to enter; special
examinations are provided for appoint
ment to offices requiring peculiar quaIif-
tons; no discrimination is to be allowed
on account of political or religious opin-
ion, or utilization of applicants, and the

THE CROP PROSPECT.

1t now appears well settled that even
with good weather and favorable condi-
tions generally, there will be large short
age in the wheat yield of the country this
year over that of 1882. This has been
foreshadowed by the Investigations of per-
sons interested in the grain trade and by
newspaper correspondents, and is now
verified by the official report of the de-
partment of agriculture for May, which
places the shortage at about seventy mill
ion bushels. 1t appears that IN many of
the winter wheat sections much of the
grain is winter-killed and has been plowed
up and seeded to grass. The backward
season has also had tendency to reduce
the acreage of spring wheat, and the pro-
duction will be diminished proportion
ately. If the weather should prove un-
propitious, or the plant should be attacked
by any of its chronological enemies, the
yield would be still further reduced from
the present estimates.
With fair prospect of yield of over
four hundred millions of bushels of wheat,
and other cereals inproportion, there is no
immediate danger of a famine in the
United States. We will have bread enough
and to spare, but it is quite probable that
it will cost a little more to buy it. This
will be hard on those who live in the cities,
but blessing to the producers of
the great northwest, who have
been none too we'll paid for their
toll during the past few years. Specula-
tors will probably seize upon the unfavor-
able reports to boom prices Immediately,
and it is probable that to-day's transac-
tons on the several boards of trade will
show an accession to the prices paid for
this cereal. Other grains will, of course
increase in price in sympathy with wheat,
and those who now own the property will
derive handsome profit from their hold
ings.
1t is not probable that we will be able to
supply the export demand as fully as in
the past. This, however, will not have a
great effect upon the price abroad, for
Europe is now being largely supplied with
| wheat from India and from the Black Sea
provinces of Russia. Higher prices here
means greater prosperity for the farmers,
| who will in turn benefit traders in the
cities by larger patronage. 1t is prob
| able that the increase in other crops will
make up to the farmers the deficiency in
wheat, and will also benefit the soil by
compelling a diversifcation of farming.

SILAs B. BUTCHER, of New York, looms
up in the ''moisty, misty future" as Raums
successor, notwithstanding he is an anti
Folger Republican, as Arthur is now. The
fact that the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue is Commander-in-chief of four
thousand subordinates, widely distributed,
gives color to the possibility of butchers
appointment. He has had experience as
machine politician of the Arthur school
which covers multitude of other disquall-
fications in the Presidents eyes. He wants
man for his politics and not for his bust
ness worth.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Charlotte Thompson as Jane Eyre.

Miss Charlotte Thompson presented her
new "Jane Eyre" to small audience at
the Opera house last evening. The new
ness of the presentation consists of the in
PRODUCTION of some light comedy acts,
which serves to relieve the play of its
original sombreness, and most
realistic fire scene, both limo
vations being decided improve
ments upon the original text. The rendi-
tion was acceptable in the fullest sense of
the term; the interest in the working out
of the plot increasing until the finale.
Of Miss Thompson's representation of the
abused and neglected orphan, the COVER
ness of Thornfield Hall and his accepted
bride, nothing need be said, further than
that she was true to herself and the high
position she holds in the dramatic
world. The Lord Rochester of
G. G. Craig was in many re-
spects a good production. Until tanned
and softened by the love he could not dis
card for Jane Eyre, he was outrageously
boorish, too pronounced, perhaps, but the
gradual yielding to Cupid's gentle infu-
ence, reducing him to most thoughtful
but at the same time ardent lover, ready
to do and dare all for her to whom his
heart had gone out. was consummate
piece of acting. The Barry of G. j.
Walker, and the Achille DeLeon of VIM.
Yerance, upon whom most of the comedy
work of the new version devolves, were
especiallo good and deserving
of the frequent testimonials
of appreciation with which their
efforts were received. Little Miss Clara
Thropp madeEa charming Adele (Roches-
ter's ward) but the rest of the support was
only tolerable. This evening "Miss
Mullton," Miss Thompson's greatest
character. will be given.

LOUISVILLE SPRING MEETING.
Great Preparations for the Coming Races

Great Preparations for the Coming Races,
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 1O.-Yesterday,a
special train of horses from Nashville,
numbering $50, arrived at the Jockey club
grounds, and were followed to-day by the
stable of George W. Darden & Co., making
a grand total of over 800 racers now at the
track. The chute has been opened to the
horses and all the stables and improve
ments on the grounds proper are about
finished. The whole of the ground between
the pooling and common stable
have been newly sodded, giving a lawn
which in extent and beauty is
unequalled in this country. Thepoolings
beds and grounds alone are 222 by 14S
feet. Messrs. Churchill have consented to
allow the Jockey club the use of some Sc
venty acres more for park. Many hand
some groves of trees are being embraced
in the grounds. Col. Clark intends max
ing a lake between the present site and
grounds and has cut new drives and made
such other improvements as will accom-
modate the vast crowds expected here this
fall, when thirty days of racing
will be afforded. The Third street road
has been regraveled and the Fourth street
is also to be made an outlet.
Derby day and Bondholder's recent per-
Torrance at Ludington are the two topics
of conversation, especially so as Center,
who is in the same stable as Bondholder,
is known to be more promising even than
the victor of the Distillers' stake.
Strangers from all sections are coming
i'll, and the spring meeting of the Louis
vile Jockey Club promises to eclipse even
its past season. Drake Carter will not go
to Lexington, so his owner has decided,
but will await tn Blue Grass crack md try
conclusions with them in the Derby, when
it is supposed that from twelve to fifteen
will face the starter.
Crowds gather at the grounds daily to
witness Thora, Checkmate, Boatmen, AS
Gender, Tanglor and other noted horses al
exercise. The spring meeting begins May
%, and continues to June 6.
