Sihrove Tuesday.

To-day is Shrovc Tuesday, the eve of Ash
Wednesday, II day of solemn interest in the
Catholic, Episcopal, and Lutheran churches,
especially the former. As its name implies,
it is n day of confession of sins, of solemn
preparation for the austcrc season of Lent, u
day when serge is laid beside satin, ready for
the mornings wear, In England the day was
formerly devoted to confession Of sins before
the parish priest and then going home to eat
pancakes and treaclc Hence the day is pop
ul0rly known rs "pancHke day" In the
social world Of Europe and America in these
times the day is devoted to fashion, and its
votarics are Jealous to drinl; rs deeply of the
wine Of social excitement ere the midnight
bells call for sackclOth and ashes and renun-

The Boston Adrertiser of Feb. l contains the
following dispatch from Washington; Brig
Gen. Hazcn has revoked the orders issued
few days since by which several telegraphers
in the signal Office were ordered to depart
for stations in the remote territories because
they refused to sign paper protesting against
the transfer of the weather bureau from the
War TO the Interior department One of the
operators, who was ordered TO distant post
in the west, although having but five weeks
more TO serve, enlisted the good offices of Mr..
Ritchie, Of Ohio, who represents his district.
Mr.. Richie went to the weather bureau and
gave Gen. Hazen to understand that unless
this man was allowed to remain at his pres
ent place, steps would be taken to bring the
sunlight to bear upon the bureau. Under the
persuasive suggestion the order was revoked
and the unhappy operator allowed to serve
out the short remainder of his term in Wash
ington. Serious charges are current against
the methods pursued since Gen. Hazen took
Gen. Mycrs's place. Cases of improper appli.
cation Of martial law to civilian employees in
dignities upon subordinates, and other mis-
demeanors are alleged"
Hon. J. NJ. Richie, of Ohio, was shown the
above, and remarked: 81 have read the arti-
Gle with surprise, So far as it refers to me
or to my interview with Gen. Hazen, it is
without the shadow of foundation, and is
wickedly and wholly false"

CROP PROSPECTS.
Iowa Reports Show that That State Will
Have an Average Yield.

FAIRFIELD, Ia, June 21.-Towa crop pros
poets have been compiled by John R. Shafer,
secretary of the State Agricultural Society,
based on reports from every county in the
State from June LIST to goth inclusive. Corn
500 townships report the area planted at
3,424, 10 acres, and 724 townships place the
average condition of the crop at 80 per cent,
or Is per cent. better than at this time one
year ago. There is a marked increase in
acreage. There are very many complaints of
poor seed, and much replanting was done,
the early planted mostly rotting. Late plant
ing gives more promise of a crop. The con-
tinued rains of the past week will in all
probability reduce this per cent. in the next
report. With the most favorable weather for
the future the crop will not be a full one.
In round numbers, placing the area at 7,000,-
100 acres, the product is given at 200, 900, 900
bushels,
The condition of winter wheat is 81 per
cent, and spring 100 per cent.-compared
with last year, 16 per cent. better. With a
favorable season and no insect injuries the
product will reach %, 900, 900 bushels.
The condition of oats is 105 per cent. This
crop promises to be the largest ever har-
vested in the State, with a probable yield of
10, 600, 900 bushels.
The condition of other crops in per cent.
is as follows: Winter rye "a, spring rye 101,
winter barley 95, spring barley 100, broom
corn IS, amber cane "a, fax SO, meadows and
pastures 9s. tobacco 81, millet 81, potatoes
81, sweet potatoes 80, onions 100, apples so,
peaches As, plums II, cherries 65, grapes so,
cuTrants 81, raspberries Sc, strawberries 90,
blackberries rs, and gooseberries n. All
small grains and grasses promise a bouDtiful
yield with good weather from this time.
iowa will not suffer for want of her staple
crop, corn, and our people are hopeful.

Contributions for the Mutt Family.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, June 21.-The counsel for
conducting James Nuts defense have not yet
been decided upon, although, at young Nuts
own solicitation, Messrs. Playford and Boyd,
who prosecuted Dukes, have been retained
temporarily. Among the names of distin-
guished lawyers spoken of in connection
with the defense are Colonel Ingersoll, Ed
gar Cowen, of Greensburg, and Thomas NJ.
Marshall, of Pittsburg. The liberal offers of
money made all over the country to aid in
the defense are thankfully received by the
family, aud will be duly acknowledged.
When the claims against Captain Nuts
small estate are all satisfied there will be
nothing left, and the family will be hard
pressed. Mrs. Mutt is left with nine child
rem, all small except Miss Lizzie and James.
The latter is the only son grown up, he being
.twenty-one years old the 4th of this month.
A list of the contributors will be published
in q day or two. The offers include mounts
from 81 upward. Several $50 offers
come from Philadelphia. Or. Kahler, of
Baltimore, sends 81 with which to start a doh
lar fund. 1t is known that Dukes made a
will. Some say he willed his property to
Miss Mutt, after having come to a sense of
the wrong be had done the family. The
Strubels say they are unable to find the will.

GeneraI Crooks Prisoners.

WASHINGTON, Tune 22.-Referring to Cen
eral Crooks Apache Indian captives, Sec
rotary Teller to-day said he purposed leaving
them in the custody Of the military until
they were thoroughly tanned. He was i'm
PEELED to do this from the reason that an ex-
ample might have a good effect upon the
future conduct of the Indians, and because
the military is better able to feed and care
for a large number of prisoners than the In
terror Department, in view of the reduced
appropriations made by the last Congress for
the maintenance of the San Carlos reserva-
ton. There is no difference upon this point
between the War and Interior Departments,
