What Is Set Forth by the State Statisttca
agent.

What Is Set Forth by the State Statistical
Agent.
D. II. Wheeler, Esq, the statistical agent OF
Nebraska for the United States department OF
agriculture, has forwarded to the department
his report of the condition of crops in Nebras-
ka on September /, and from it we make the
following extracts:
Corn-Average condition in So counties, 10
per cent.
wheat-Average condition when harvested
in 81 counties, 100 per cent
Rye-Average condition in go counties when
harvested, 100 per cent. -
Oats-Average condition in o. counties, 90
per cent.
srley-Average condition when harvested,
96H per cent
Irish Potatoes-Average condition in 70
counties 1O4 per cent.
Sweet Potatoes-Average condition in 80
counties, 100 per cent.
Tobacco-Average condition in counties,
Sorghum-Average condition in SO counties,
102% per cent.
Apples-Average condition in At counties.
Grapes-Avcrage condition in 46 counties,
107 per cent. -,
J Hogs-Number for fattening compared with
last year in &C counties, Ill per cent.
Hogs-Average condition as to weight and
size compared with former years, 1Ol per cent.
The weather on the whole has been favOr-
able for corn, sorghum buckwheat, potatoes,
1rish and sweet apples and grapes since last
report
1t has been particularly favorable for corn,
and has increased the per cent of condition
very materially as will be seen by comparison
with the July report. Two weeks more of
favorable weather will place most of fields OF
corn out of danger of damage by frosts. So
little wheat has been threshed, that a correct
estimate of the yield is difficult to make. The
increased acreage is placed at 1913 per cent
and making the yield per acre the same as
1888 (and all reports agree that it is very much
bett ~ the total crop would amount to ~ 3d.
45S bushels and of a much better grade OF
wheat The oat crop was injured by wet
weather. reducing the yield below what was
expected; it is of light weight and not up TO
good marketable standard. Barley was badly
bleached by wet weather, and much was lost
in the field. Where It has been threshed 1t
yields only % bushels per acre. Buckwheat
is looking WELL and bids fair to make good
crop. Irish potatoes are much above, the
usual average. Sweet potatoes are good and
Yielding we'll The sorghum crop is not large
In area butts looking well. The apple crop
is abundant, the largest ever raised in the
state. Peaches are an entire failure this
year. Grapes are of superior quality, and
the yield is largely In excess of any former
year.
The number of hogs for .attening is II per
cent in excess of last year, and the size and
weight per cent better. Two counties only
report cholera among swine.

HORROR AT SEA.


Connibaiism of tho Greedy Expedition Conn
pfcfciy Oufdone.
A London dispatch says: A case of misery
at sea which so exceeds in CHASTITY horror the
cannibalsm OF tho Greedy expedition, is
brought TO light by the arrival Mt Falmouth OF
the German bark Montezuma, from Rangoon,
having on board the survivors of the wr' ok of
the y. chit Mignontee, wrecked In the Indian
ocean. June 18th. Captain Dudley, two sea.
men and n lad named Parker got into small
boat. For provisions they had merely Few
turnips and no water They subsidized for five
days on the turnps, and on the hfth they
caught small turtle. they had been terribly
tortured by thirst, and ON the eighth day
the + suffering became so maddening That
they began drinking brine, which prac-
tice they continued until rescued. by
the twelfth day there was absolutely moth
Ing left to eat In the boat. The boy, Parker
was the weakest, and II was evident that he
was slowly dying. The others hungeringly
watched his symptoms of dissolution. On the
twentieth day. after the entire party had been
without Il particle OF food for eight days, the
captain FASTENED young Parkers death by
opening vein In his arm. The three sur
vivors eagerly drank the boys blood as 1t
glshed from his arm, and cut his flesh from
his bones and ate 1t ncooked but with some
degree of moderation, the captain keeping
pc oesson of the carcass and serving out TO
himself and sailors only such daily rations as
were necessary to prolong their wretched ex-
istence in this way until July, when they were
seen and rescued by the Montezuma.

Of the many strange stories told OF the
Oldest actors-in those days when seem
cry was but an adjunct to the stage, and
a wretched one at tbat-perhaps none is
more grotesquely funny than the old one
of Macready in Hamlet" says the
Hoosier. In the last act of Hamlet,
when, as all lovers of Shakespeare know,
a general slaughter takes place, "Ham-
LETT soliloquizes for a few brief moments,
uttering his sentences slowly before he
himself feels the death pangs from
'sLaertes' poisoned blade. On the oc-
casion in question the person who en-
acted the part of ''Claudius' (the king)
had an enmity against Hamlet" and
when the latter came near the end of
his soliloquy, he noticed that should he
drop where he stood, the curtain would
not hide him from view when it fell. He
therefore gave a kick to the PROSTATE
king, and muttered to him angrily in a
soto voce the appalling direction: ''Die
further back"
Of this his enemy took no notice, and
the unhappy Hamlet" was compelled
again to interrupt his ante-mortem state
ment (if so it may be called) by again
admonishing his uncle to die little fur
Their from the footlights: To this appeal
the king paid no attention, and at last,
goaded to desperation by the knowledge
of the fact that his lines would permit of
no further delay, Hamlet" administer
ed his admonition: "Die further back,
accompanied by a kick of great strength
and vigor. TO the establishment of the
doleful Dane, but to the delight of the
audience (more especially to that por-
ton commonly known as the gods.) the
defunct king rose to a sitting posture,
and with stentorian voice said:
I'm king here, and I'll die where
please"

BISHOP POTTER.
Iert of His Letter in Which He Declines to
Come to Nebraska.


Come to Nebraska.
The following letter has been received by
the Rev. Mr.. Patterson, of Omaha, secretary
of the standing committee of the diocese,
from the Rev. DR.. Potter:
To the Standing Committee OF the Diocese
of Nebraska-Dear Brethren Informed as to
my letter, designed for the council, that 1t has
not been delivered, that body not being in SEES
sion; your valued communication which
acknowledge, suggests that should recall the
declination and reconsider" because at lib
erty to accept the bishopric of your diocese,
without deserving Hobart College. After con-
sultation find that the demand of that insti'
tuition to whose untried presidency am
pledged at this tuncture, renders SUCH
course on my part inadmissable.
Your suggestion is reinforced by letters
from Clergy and Laity and l am assured rep
resents the deliberate and unanimous desire
of the diocese. Permit me, therefore, to state
my conviction at If yielded and accepted
the exalted position rendered me, should
east, thus destroying my ability to render
Nebraska needed aid. The church has rare
opportunity, but the diocese, which has
shown commendable comparative reliance
upon its own resources, also needs and de-
serves to be aided by churchmen from with
out
Invited to visit and learn somewhat of the
wants of the west, shall ever be grateful for
the friendships formed and the kindness
shown me, especially in your diocese. III
write at length, it is to expires my apprecia-
ton of the field and your call.
Your clergy and laity are influential and
united. , here are few considerable obstacles
and there is ample assurance of encouraging
cooperation and success. Situated in Omaha,
the fiourishing city of the bishops residence,
are the noble Cathedral and Child's hospital,
erected largely by the citizens which have
been generally devoted to the service of the
diocese.
AS Bishop Clarkson's memorial, Brownel
Hall school then will doubtless secure the
suitable location and buildings he desired and
which its excellent growing work demands.
Communities spring up along the lines OF
the railroad, and are, together with the mis-
sion stations and parishes, readily accessible
from the cathedral center The hills and val
leys of the beautiful rolling prairie stand so
thick with corn that they seem to laugh and
sing; thousands of flocks and herds feed be-
side the ample water courses, and vines and
flowers and trees of the Lord, lavishly plant
ed. flourish abundantly.
Dear brethren, yours is goodly and attrac-
tive heritage. Prevented from becoming your
bishop, pray that your determination to be
alike deliberate and devout in your choice,
may be blessed by our divine Lord, the great
head of the church.
Faithfully and affectionately yours,
ELIPHALET MATT POTTER.
President Hobart College, Geneva, N. Y.
August 80, 1884.
