A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK FOR sORN.
1t will be remembered that the corn crop
of last year had an unfavorable start, and that
there was more than usual uncertainty the
last of June as to the outlook for the season.
The plant was backward in growth, large
breadth had been replanted the second and
third time, and rains had interfered with
we'll advanced that the corn crop asserted a
well-defned condition of hopefulness, and
rapid progress was not reached until August
which month was exceptionally favorable,
and, with an absence of severe early frosts the
crop reached larger proportions than any ofits
predecessors, although official figures do not
show this in the count.
This season there was much unnecessary
talk about the lack of seed having germina-
ting quality. The Price Current maintained
that the farmer as a rule was cautious and
provident concerning such matters, and that
with the prevalence of immature grain he
had undoubtedly taken special care for seed
Our returns now indicate to a certainty that
there has been no more than usual of draw
backs from lack of termination of the seed
In 1879 the crop was l, 754 S61 $50 bushels
according to the Census Office returns.
The corn acreage was as follows: 1882, Co.
500, 646; 1884, a. 262 OPS; $780, g. 81, 842; 1879
SO, 0S5, $50 acres. The average yield per
acre was as follows 1882, 24;6; 1881, 1876
1880, 275; 1879, 291
In Ohio our returns indicate a moderate
increase in area of corn this season COM
pared with last year, the plant generally
backward in growth, but in good color and
promise, and recent weather encouraging
rapid development Some sections have
the drawback Of too much rain for maintain
ing cultivation.
In Indiana there is some increase in acre
age, only a small portion of the State re-
porting unfavorably as to stand and condi-
ton, this mainly on low lands; the prevail
ing outlook is good, though the plant is back
ward
Illinois appears to have considerably in
creased the corn acreage; the stand is almost
uniformly good; late rains have retarded cul-
tivation, and large breadth is now suffering
more or less from this cause so that the pre-
vailing condition of the crop is only fair, and
the plant is backward in growth, as in other
sections,
In Iowa the acreage is increased from TO
10 per cent. the stand reported good in
nearly all cases, but the condition of the
crop has the drawback of too much rain in
considerable portion of the State, which
disadvantage will be soon overcome if condi-
tions should be favorable in the near future.
In Missouri the stand is not up to the max
imum in some sections of the State, but much
the larger portion is good, with the present
disadvantage of excessive rains and incident
interference with cultivation.

formly good it is fair, but the growth is quite
backward
In Minnesota the returns are variable;
some sections show an increase, some de-
crease in acreage, averaging probably small
increase; stand and condition generally not
better than fair, growth backward, but now
progressing rapidly.
In Wisconsin there is no gain in acreage,
possibly a small decrease; season backward
and present prospect only fair, about same
as year ago.
In Michigan there is 10 to Is per cent re-
duction in corn acreage; stand and condition
poor on a considerable area, and the crop
not up to usual promise though in
many sections there has been u rapid i'm
provement recently.
In Kentucky the acreage is about the
same as last year or slightly increased; stand
good with but few exceptions, and condition
| mostly good, the average promise being IA
vorable, though the season is backward.
In Tennessee there is no essential change
in acreage, which is fully up to last year
and mostly good stand and fine promise, a
few sections reporting only medium out
look.
The twelve States which our reports cover
had representation of 1.18S, 1876, 900 bushels
in last years crop of 1,617, ops, 900, or 1871
per cent. of the total. The area under corn
in these States this season is considerably in
creased over last year.
Our inquiries in regard to the supplies of
old corn on hand have developed the follow
ing proportion of returning fair to good sup

a STRANGE STORY OF DISCRETION.
An American Girl. Abandoned in Germany,
Meets with Strange Adventures.

Cologne Gazette
Eleven years ago, an American widow sent
her eight-vear-old daughter to Stettin, to be
educated i'll a private school for girls She
paid for two quarters in advance, and from
that day on not one word was heard of the
mother until this spring, when she sent to
the American consul the passage money for
her daughters return to America. Inquiry
for the young woman brought the following
to light: AT this same school the two little
daughters of very wealthy citizen were pu-
pills; they became very much attached to the
young foreigner and she frequently visited
their home. When the two quarters that
were paid for had expired there was nothing
to be done, as no one knew the mothers
address. The child was pennless and
in a strange country. The managers
of the school could not afford to keep her,
and it was in this quandary that the father
of the two little girls came forward and took
charge of the child. He was the chief tinan-
cial support of an orphan asylum or school,
and here he placed her. However, he soon
lost the bulk of his fortune, and the orphan
school, of course, collapsed. He then placed
the girl in another school, where he con-
tinued to pay all expenses, Notwithstanding
his reduced circumstances.
Recently she completed the course of study
and won first honorS. She had intended
hereafter to support herself by teaching, as it
was long ago taken for granted that the

young woman was overwhelmed with grief
at the prospect Of parting from her staunch
friend and benefactor's family. The self-ap-
pointed guardian demurred. He reasoned
that no right-feeling mother could treat
daughter in this way without some eXplana-
ton, and he decided that it was unwise to
let the daughter start for America until the
mothers identity was proved, which he for
one doubts. The young woman has become
endeared to his family and does not want to
return to America. He sought advice and
finally wrote to the address given, enclosing
bill for II 900 marks, the sum the young
womans education had cost him. If the
woman declines to repay him. and if cir
cumstances continue suspicious, the
matter is to be dropped, as there will be
no danger of her attempting to get
control of the daughter under such circum-
stances. The girl recollects but little of her
life in America, and knows nothing OF her
family's present circumstances, whether she
is an heiress or a beggar. Another suspicious
circumstance is that shortly after the alleged

1T has been currently reported over
the State that the Legislature had re-
duced the State tax levy. Republican
papers have improved every opportun-
ity to let people know that it was a
Republican Legislature that did this
commendable thing. 1t now turns out
that there has been no reduction, and
that the Republican leaders were de-
ceiving the people. The levy is the
same as last year, 20 mills, as is shown
by statements of the levy as furnished
to County Auditors by the State Audi
tor. These facts we have learned from
Auditor Evers and we hasten to inform
our readers of them, that they may no
longer be gulled by Republican false
hoods about reduction of the State tax
levy.

The republican candidate for governor
has the tether prescribed for him by the
Commercial Gazette in this significant
way:
ut is well understood that he is can
didate, not for the senate or presidency,
but for governor, and the assertion that
he represents any man is mistake. He
will act upon his own convictions and
take no more part in the legislative con-
tests than becomes one who is in favor
ofall the presidential candidates"
Judge Foraker will please take notice.
He can run for governor, but must not
look beyond. He is to shake the bush,
while Sherman and Foster take the
birds. But the man who leads his party
out of the wilderness, when the old lead
ers are afraid of their personal fortunes,
will not be humble to accept the metes
and bonds prescribed by them. Foraker
goes for all he is worth. .--Ne,Us Journal.

CINCINNATI South West: The charge
is made every few days in some of the
Democratic journals that Judge Hoadly
has not been sufficiently long a member
of the Democratic party to entitle him
to become the standard bearer of the
party in the Gubernatorial race this fall.
1t occurs to us that this is not very
safe line ofargument for the Democratic
party to employ, since the only hope it
has of carrying the State this fall is in
securing, or rather in retaining the bolt
ing German Republican vote. Without
that the State inevitably must go Re-
publican. If therefore, Judge Hoadly,
after several years. professions of DEM
ocratic principle, is not worthy the full
fellowship of the party, there may be a
good many recent converts who have
its nominees shorter period
even than Judge Hoadly, who will nat
urally set about enquiring what induce
ments it has to offer them to remain,
and how long it takes to entitle one to
be more than it hewers of wood and
