There was time when Nathaniel z.
Banks was one of the most prominent fig
ures in American politics, and his name
was known far and wide in connection
with big movements in history. He served
as congressman, governor, speaker of the
House and general in the army, and then
all at once he dropped out of public notice
almost as completely as if he had never
been heard of. A few days ago he was re-
appointed marshal of Massachusetts,, an
office he has held fol-. foursyears past, and
they say of him that he is now simply
broken-down old man, very poor and de-
pendent upon his salary for a living. The
vanity of political life has seldom had a
more striking Illustration. st. Louis Globe

Crop Report.

Mr.. J. r. Dodge statistician of the Ag-
ricultural Department, Washington, has
completed preliminary. estimatesIof the
principal crops of the. country. for the year
1888. (which are to be.printed as a special
report for December. They show that po
tatoes las well..a all other roots, and oats
have grown luxuriantly and yielded .abund-
antly. The average yield of corn per..acre
for. the, present year, Mr.. Dodge says. is
nearlys.23 bushels, or moresexactly by pre-
liminary, estimates 22.7, which is 2 per
cent. less than the average yield for a Sc
ries Of years, OF SOL ,066, S35 bushels. This
stands for the squantity offs the present
crop. The quality, he says, is another
consideration. = One. feature of corn-grow-
ing in 1883. Mr.. Dodge says, shouldzbe a
lesson .to. the. farmers Of. the country. The
general use in the West of seed-corn grown
in lower attitudes, the planting of Ne
braska seed in Minnesota, and Of Kansas
seed in Illinois. has demonstrated the folly
of attempting to acclimatize Southern
maize in more MOI thern districts. Much
of the s.loss. from frost would have been
avoided had seed BEEN Carefully selected
from the best corn grown in the immediate
neighborhood. The wheat crop, MI Dodge
says, is slightly in excess of 40O,00O,O00
bushels, and the. cotton product, ffas3 shown
by the December returns, is about 6,000,-
900 bales.
