lowing estimates:

609. .222; bushels produced from the
same, 5000, 449; total for the State at
the same rate, 25,5Os,396, against As,

vested, 100.
OATs.-Acres threshed to date, 1876,
lO4; bushels produced from same, a.,
4l2. .O35; yield per acre, 32.6; totol for

October |, 1882, 76 per cent; damage
done by frost, 26 per cent; probable
total 6s,OOO,OOO bushels against co.

per cent:
Potatoes, lO3; sweet potatoes, II; to-
bacco, "a; sorghum, y, clover seed,

erage condition to l03.
The estimates on wheat and oats are
the final ones for the year They are
based on actual returns from the
threshing machines, of a large amount
Of threshing, and are as accurate as
it is possible to make them. The as.
SCISSORS returns next year will proba-
bly, place both crops about five per
cent. lower than our estimates.
No further Crop Report will be made
this year, except the final one, Decem-
bel lst, giving the final estimates on
corn and potatoes and on the condition

Remarkable Presence of Mind,

There was half dozen old fellows
sitting on bench in the Seventh Ward
Park talking upon various subjects,
and finally they began to tell stories as
to the wonderful feats and presence OF
mind they had witnessed. One old
gentleman told of the building of II MILL
down in York State where mum ber OF
posts had TO be put into about six feet
of water with the end resting on the
rocky bottom. On lowering one of the
posts the end became tangled in the
coat tail of q man in q boat who was
steadying it, and took him to the bot
tom but before he could get untangled
he was pinned fast under six feet of
water. "With wonderful presence of
mind" said the story teller, she Slip
ped out of his coat and came up. His
coat remained under the post"
A lean, lank looking fellow who had
been listening came up saying: That's
n remarkable incident, but nothing to
what l saw right here in Milwaukee
bay about thirty years ago."
"What is it?" asked all the party ut
once.
"Well, you see the end of the pier
over there? I was out there in boat
with friend. We had started out for
fish and had our guns to shoot ducks
should any happen along which was a
common thing in those days. Well,
we hadn't been there long before |, in
some way lost my powder horn over
board and it sunk in thirty feet of wa
ter. There it lay at the bottom in
plain sight. My friend said he would
dive for it. l tried to persuade him
not to but he was determined. l notic-
ed he didn't take off his powder horn
and before l could call attention to it,
he was in the water. waited about
twenty minutes"
Twenty minutes!'' they all ex-
claimed.
That's the exact time, my friends.
I held my watch in my hand and tim
ed him. After twenty minutes l began
to get little nervous and looked over
the side of the boat, and what do you
think l sawP"
II suppose your friend lay at the
bottom Of the bay drowned" ventured
one.
mo. You are wrong. Here is where
he showed his presence of mind and
dirty thieving disposition. There he
sat on the bottom of the lake pouring
the powder out of my horn into his own
and whistling. That's what I consider
remarkable incident of mans pres
ence OF mind
No reply was made by any of his list
eners but each one quietly got up, look
ing at the story teller, and left him
alone, and master of the situation. -

No Time to Fool Away.

The other day when everything took
a tumble and the bottom seemed to
have dropped out of Wall Street and
left hole big enough to take in the
whole country, y holder who was being
pinched and scraping his soul for more
margins, was informed that q visitor
desired to see him.
Cant see anybody was his reply.
In five minutes the messenger came
back with the announcement that it
was very important business.
Cant help it, I'm in no condition
to see my own father"
A third time the messenger disap-
peared, but third time returned to
say
''He says it's case of life or deatl,
sir"
"This decided the operator to admit
the unknown. He entered with an
easy step and q pleasant smile, and
after mature deliberation, softly in
quired:
my friend, how is it with thy soulP"
my soulp Halifax and Texas! Do
you think man who has $50, 900 worth
of stocks shrivelling up on him like a
cabbage leaf on hot stove has anv
time to fool away on his benighted soulp

Working Women aad Others.


There may be some few women
whose place is in the world, some who
are happy in bluffing about-some who
are successful. But these few stand in
The same relation 10 their sisters as
does Il man of genius TO his ordinary
brother; an unnatural thing, an
anomaly. The few women who enjoy
such life rs it is known that woman
of the working wo-id must live. have,
by their injudicious over-enthusiasm,
done more harm than they dreamed
they were remedying. The indepeu-
dence of women has cast such light
upon their natural pleasing dependence
that it must be admitted it is now ter
ribly unprepossessing. Woman's suffer-
ing is very closely allied to woman's S
suffrage; woman's wrongs overlap
woman's rights. Fifty women are un-
happily at work where there is one hap
PLY not; and there are just about fifty
women working where one needs to be,
or rather, ought to be, or would be, if
women had let women alone.
A woman is not fitted for working
life. Physically she may be able to
stand it; mentally she may flash and
brighten, at heart, the true woman
quivers, and breads the fists as well as
the tongue of the world.
The uuhappiest woman | know is a
brilliant woman of emi-Bohemian-lit-
erary society. Eavied, but not enviable;
admired, but not loved. The wittiest
woman of her city, her bon mots are
the cleverest at the clubs. A clever and
thinking woman, her work is as clever
and thoughtful. She says: II would
rather be the weakest, the least talented
woman in the world the honest wife of
an honest man who would love ME, and
let me love him, than the most beauti.
full, successful woman of the world. |
would rather be the slave of house
hold than queen usurping masculine
rights"
The happiest woman l know lives in
a small one-story cottage, behind which
are two tiny rows of corn and patch
of suntlowcrs, and little brook that
thirstily hurries along to find more wa
ter. All she has in the world to "pro-
tect" her is the strong-limbed, hearty,
unambitious husband, who pauses but
few times from morning till night, even
to wave willing hand at her from a
small marble quarry two rods away.
She says: II will work for Tom in my
way, but he must work for me. A wo-
man who will, may. ."-Boston 1rareler

A New Departure.

One good result of the hard times
few years ago, was the bringing into
life an article in proprietary medicine,
which gave to every purchaser full
equivalent for his money. The rule of
this class of medicine is from 10 to %
doses for 81, the best only reaching 40.
Messrs. Hood 4 Co. took new depart
ure and i'm the article now so well and
favorably known as Hoods Sarsaparilla,
they gave the unprecedented quality of
100 doses for 81. These facts commend
this remedy to the consideration of the
sick, also the well, for they are liable to
be sick. oct ILL

Uncle Sans Navy.

In communication published in the
Army and Navy Journal, Commander
J. B. Coghlan, U. S. N, states that the
consultations of eminent naval and
other surgeons, respecting his rheumat-
ic attack, failed to afford him the slight
est relief. By advice of DR.. Hoyle he
used st. Jacobs Oil, which wrough a
complete and, as he says, wonderful
cure. John Carr Moody, Esq, lawyer
at Vallejo, CAL, was likewise cured of a
severe Joint trouble.

A remedy that has proven itself a
never-failing cure for scrofula and all
syphilitic disorders must quickly cure
less terrible blood diseases. DR.. Guy
sott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla is
such a perfect blood purifier and
strengthener of bodily functions, that it
cures the above the above diseases even
when Hot Springs and other treatment
has failed. Remember, it is absolutely
free from mineral poisons, and will not
injure the most delicate constitution.
Its use will make you feel buoyant,
strong and well, and will rid your sys-
tenn Of all blood impurities and every
internal and external indication of dis
ease. 2t

All weakness and ill health owes its
origin to an impure state of the blood
and weakness of the urinary and di-
gestive organs. A medicine that will
strengthen these organs, and at the
same time purify the blood, will assist
nature in curing nearly every disease
that human flesh and blood is heir to.
Such a remedy is DR.. Guysott's Yellow
Dock and Sarsaparilla, and, although
it possesses no cathartic or diuretic eff
feet, its use will soon establish regular
habit of body as well as cure weakness
of the kidneys, indicated by urinary
sediments, nervousness, etc. 1t

Hayes and the Conductor,

hayes ana the OOnouCCOr.
Boston Traveller.
Mr.. HAYES was travelling, absorbed
iu the affairs of state, when he was 20.
litely waited upon by the conductor OF
the train and his ticket requested.
The president explained who he was.
but the conductor said that his orders
were imperative. He was obliged to
show something at the end of his route
for every passenger who travelled with
him, and it did not make any differ
ence who the man was, he must either
have ticket, a pass, or the money.
As President Hayes had neither q
ticket nor q pass. he reluctantly pulled
out his pocketbook and counted
enough money to pay his passage.
Hayes was a very close man in
money matters, and be was highly in
dignant at the treatment he had
undergone. At the end of the road
he stalked into the office of the presi-
dent of the railroad and laid the facts
before him, with the request that the
conductor be either discharged or rep
rimanded. The railroad official
calmly paid him back the money
which be had given the conductor fol-
his fare, and Mr.. Hayes continued his
journey in a much happier frame Of
mind. The conductor, when he found
out that the president of the United
States had made a complaint against
him. was very much appreheDsive,
and his fears of dismissal was by nc
means allayed when he received q
summons from the president of the
road to come at once to headquarters.
When he arrived Mr.. Hayes story
was repeated to him, and he was asked
if he had anything to say. Mr.. Con
ductor took the rules out ofhis pocket
and read them, saying that he saw
nothing which exempted any passen

was then told that it was not the pur-
