if you desire it you can have it. The
whole road is divided into twenty-four
shares, of which Jay Cooke & Co. have
twelve. The interest / speak of is
one-half OF one-fourth, or 1-192 OF
the entire franchise, being that
proportion of the S81, 100000 of stock
that are being divided as the road is
built, and like proportion of the land
company stock that is formed to take
and dispose of the 100000 acres of land
severed by their grant as amended by the
law of last session. The amount of stock
which this 1-192 would have in the end
would be about 1926, 900, and the number
of acres of land it represents is 275, ,000
The road is being built on the 7.30 bonds,
S25, 600 to the mile, which Jay Cooke takes
at so. Instead of mortgaging the land
they make a stock company for its owner
ship, dividing it pro rata among the old
ers of the franchise. The whole thing can
be had for S25, 900, which is less than one
third OF what some other sales at small
interest have gone at. | do not suppose

at 5000 each would have splendid thing

The chance is very rare one I can't

THE CROPS.
The News From All the Southern States
is Very Encouraging IS to the
Growing Crops,
Except in That Part of Texas Recently
Twice Visited by Deluging Rains
The Farmers Encouraged
To Believe That This is to be a Year
Of Plenty, and Therefore Very
Profitable to Them.

The May crop report of the Tennessee
Bureau of Agriculture reports the condi-
ton in West Tennessee at 9S for grass;
Barley n, clover SO, corn "a, with acreage
101; oats 93, acreage 109; potatoes SO,
acreage 80. Middle Tennessee condition
of grass 9s, wheat 106, barley ~, clover
9S, corn "a, its acreage 101; oats 80, acre
age SO; potatoes 9S, and acreage 9S. East
Tennessee grass 100, wheat los, barley SO,
clover 50, corn go, and acreage 81; oats IS
and acreage 81, cotton 80 and acreage SIS,
potatoes 100, acreage 101. Taking the
whole State the condition of grass aver
ages 9S; wheat 104, barley SO, clover SO,
corn 90 and acreage 9S, oats 90and acreage
95, cotton l03 and acreage SO, potatoes 80
and acreage 81. The wheat crop prospects
are very encouraging, although in
several counties in the State the
appearance of rust is reported. The
rust, however, is yet confined to the
blade. Some counties report eonsidera-
BILE amount of chess. The corn crop is
generally backward on account of the
late, cold, wet spring. In many counties
the stand is bad Cotton is backward on
account of the cold and wet spring. In
Middle Tennessee most OF the counties
report late crop and bad stand. In West
Tennessee the crop is also backward, but
the stand is better and the prospects are
improving. Reports OF tobacco are very
encouraging. Grasses and clover are equal
to last year, where they are not superior.
Oats are short and late, the average re-
duced, and iu many places almost fail
ure. Peanuts are largely increased; ac-
counts are favorable. Irish potatoes-less
planted than last year and condition
rather lower. The fruit crop, generally
speaking, Is almost total failure. In
West Tennessee, however, it is reported
good. The small fruits were hurt by the
cold, wet spring, and in some locali-
ties were damaged by hail. The
apple crop is very fine in most of the eoun-
ties, and will be largely increased in
quality. The peach crop will be hardly
more than twenty per cent. of the usual
crop, and is only fifty-two per cent. of that
of last year, which was very poor. Stock
improving throughout the State; some
cholera, mostly in West Tennessee; more
disposition to introduce fine breeds. Farm
ers are generally up with their crops and
in good spirits, notwithstanding the late
spring. The best farmers all want strin-
gent dog law. Looking over a large num-
Der of our country exchanges, we see that
in some localities rain had been wanted
before it came. Putting Texas out of the
question, where another storm, added to
the floods, has been great calamity, the
general report of the grain crop is favora-
ble-some accounts of wheat very favera-
BILE. We find less complaint on account
OF cold than we anticipated.

Terrell, Tex, 4th.-A great portion
of North Texas has been visited by
heavy rain. The promise for small crops
of grain has been very favorable until this
time. Oats were heavy, and wheat fifteen
per cent. better than last year. The
wheat harvest is about to commence,

weather, the outlook is far from gloomy"
New Orleans Picdyune, 5th: ''Many
agents from Arkansas are being sent in
overho we'd districts in this State to induce
the colored labor to emigrate to that State,
where they will not be troubled with over
flows. The planters below Shreveport are
all well convinced that it will be impossi
BILE to make a cotton crop this season.
Crops in the parish of Rapides have been
greatly benefited by sunshine and con-
genial accompaniments. Fields in the
parish of Avoyelles are full of grass, and
the incessant rains prevent work. The
Thibodaux Sentinel says that planters gen.

fair peach crop, and more pears than we
have had in several years. The grape crop

resumed. The section providing for hold

of heresy or examine into the application
OF candidates for reception and ordination

LONDON, June The Times says
"Blaine's nomination will be received with
satisfaction. Not only has he been the
most popular candidate but the most con-
spicuous and respected politician in the
ranks of the Republican party, which has
done itself honor by the nomination of so
well known and distinguished man. If
the Democrats could make up their mind
to definite and reasonable free trade
policy they certainly would secure more
sympathy this side of the Atlantic than
hitherto. Mean while, we congratulate the
Republican party on the choice of a candi-
date so eminently suited as Blaine to rep
resent and uphold the dignity of the
United States.
Under the heading, "a Beaconsfield Be
yond the Sea-" the Pail Mail Gazette says:
"Blaine's nomination is the most notable
event for England since Lincoln was as
sassinated. Wherever Blaine can oust the
British from positions they hold on the
American continent he will endeavor to
replace English influence and trade by
American. His menacing intimation that
he will disregard the Clayton-B Bulwer
treaty is An evil augury for the future re-
lations of England and America. His in
tervsntion in Peru is most ominous; when
he declared that he disliked for England
to win commercial triumphs in fields
which legitimately belong to America.
England will watch with extreme solici-
tude the progress OF the campaign"
