The Wheat Crop.

The oldest inhabitant, probably, never saw
the wheat fields of the county present so un.
favorable appearance on the first of May as
they now do. 1t is true that here and there
on a southern hill side or where protected
by timber, a field looks green and beautiful
in contrast with neighboring fields, but it is
safe to say that the aggregate yield of the
county will not be more than one half that OF
last year. The acreage, also, is believed TO
be less, the drought last fall having prevented
many persons from sowing wheat
The same state of affairs with reference to
the wheat crop exists throughout the West.
A gentleman who recently returned to Har.
ford from trip through many of the Western
States, says that in many places immense
fields planted in wheat, were, two weeks ago,
as bare of vegetation as barn floor.
An elevator proprietor at Salina, Kas Of
fers to wager $500 that Kansas this year will
not harvest 100000 bushels of wheat.
The yield oflast year is claimed by the State
Board OF Agriculture to have been $4,000 900
bushels. Estimates from California say that
the crop in that State will fall off fully one.
quarter, save in the Southern counties.
In view, therefore, of a short crop of wheat,
it might be well for our farmers to plant as
much corn as they can fertilize and work
properly. Corn is crop that can always
be made to pay. If the price is too low to
justify hauling out for shipment it can be fed
to cattle and will make profitable return.

A Political Temperance Party Organ
lied

On Friday last Mr.. VIM. Daniel and other
members of the Maryland Temperance ALI.
ance held convention in Baltimore, for the
purpose of organizing the Prohibition party
in Maryland. Mr.. Daniel was chosen Presi-
dent of the convention. A platform was
eaoptoa which ~rses total prohibition by
both State and national law, declaring that
it must be secured through means of third
party. 1t also declares for civil service and
other reforms.
This action of Mr.. Daniel and his friends
in committing the temperance movement to
participation in politics, has given offence
to some of the most sincere and lifelong ad.
vocates of the cause. Among these is Rev.
T. L. Poulson, who has Withdrawn from the
State Temperance Alliance, in an open letter,
in which he says he opposed the political ac-
ton of the Alliance a year ago. AT the re-
cent session, also, while the Alliance declar-
ed itself bipartisan it re elected the old Of
ficers, who have been active partisans No con-
cession was made to the minority, and where
possible non-partisan sentiments and persons
were excluded in their deliberations Such
conduct he regards as the determination of
the partisans to run both organizations, the
Alliance and the Prohibition party, they
supposing that the simple declaration of non.
partisanship would conciliate the minority.
1t is probable that an effort will be made TO
organize society which will embody the
views and aims of Mr.. Poulson and his
friends.

THE HAINEs AND HOPPER CAsE.-On Satur-
day Judge Waters heard the application of
Harrison Hopper for an increase of the bond
given by John II. Haines in the certlorari case
of Hopper vs. Haines Judge Waters passed
an order increasing the bond from 5000 to So 600.
This case is an action by Mr.. Hopper to dis
possess his tenant, Mr.. Haines, from a farm be-
longing to Mr.. Hopper, near Dublin. 1t was
brought before Justice Charshee, in Ilavre de
Grace, and removed to the Circuit Court on q
writ of certiorari, by Mr.. Haincs. 1t appears
also that Mr.. Hopper dstrained for rent upon
certain personal property in possession of
Haines. Mrs. Haines, his wife, claiming it, re-
pevicd it, and this case is still pending. There
is said to be question as TO the liability of a
wife's property in distraint for rent, while
other property upon the premises may be taken,
although it may belong to third party.
Messrs. Henry w. Archer and Marine appeared
for Hopper and Messrs. VanRibber and VIM.
Young for Haines.

LINES
To my childhood friend and schoolmate,
ROBERT MCCOMMONS, who died Sunday,
April Goth, 1885.
Disturb not his rest, but let him sleep,
In peace and silent grace,
What can 1t profit IL we weepP
Disturb him not, but let him sleep,
And hallowed be his resting-place.
Memory unfolds her sacred door,
And childhoods hours return again;
read the shadows on the floor
OF happy days that are no more
The rainbow and the gentle rain.
We chased the painted butterfly,
Or climbed the poisoning cherry tree;
Along the brook our luck to try,
Till shades of night were rawing nigh,
AS merry as the honey bee.
Together In the old school house
We sat for many day,
We left our names cut In the wood
Upon the desk lids, where they stood
And like most boys, we loved to play.
The Great School Master calls thee home
To the school house over there,
He rang the bell for thee to come,
No more on earth in sin to roam,
But His happiness to share
Oh He will lead thee evermore
BY refreshing waters, still,
And the flowers that bloom on that blest shore
Shall comfort thy heart so saddeued and sore,
BY the blessed Masters WILL
The Master Is good, and true and kind
And His love Is full and free
Oh comrade, rest-sweet rest thou wilt find,
And no haunting fears shall disturb thy mind
In Heaven prepared for thee.

A Foreign War Believed to be Ineyi-
table.


The utmost interest continues to be felt in
the United States in regard to the difficulty
between England and Russia, chiefly, per-
haps, on account of the impetus war be-
tween them would give to American agricul-
tural and manufacturing interests. A dead
ly struggle between these two great nations
would be calamity to them both, and it
would be better for the world if the disaster
could be avoided without the sacrifice of
honor on either side But this is, probably
more than may reasonably be expected. The
latest accounts from London and St. Peters
burg are 10y no means of pacific nature, al
though little that is reliable concerning the
contemplated action of the English govern
ment can be ascertained.
The House of Commons, on Monday took
the almost unprecedented action of voting,
without discussion, the war credit of $55 900,
600 asked for by the Government. Mr..
Gladstone made great speech, in which he
said that the English government had en-
deavored to prevent war, and had striven to
conduct diplomatic controversy in such way
that If it unhappilT ended in violent rup.
ture of the relations with Russia they could
at least challenge the verdict of civilized man,
kind whether or not they had done all that
men could do to prevent the plunging of two
such countries into bloodshed and despair.
A st. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Daily Meas says he is informed on
good authority that another engagement has
taken place between the Russians and the
Afghans. OF 1 roo Russians who engaged
the Afghans nearly all, he says, were killed.
The report, however, was not confirmed.
The entire Russian coast of the Baltic, it
is reported, has boon strongly fortified by sea
mines and torpedoes and the utmost activity
is seen in the Russian navy. England, also,
is making mighty preparations for war and
the contest if it does come, will be fierce
and desperate one.
England has settled her difficulty with
France and is believed to be delaying until
she can secure Turkey and Italy as active
allies. The war must be declared, if declar-
ed at all, by England, as Russia seems to be
moving forward in her march of invasion of
the Afghan territory, and there is no reason
why she should declare war on England as
long as her schemes are unmolested.
The Gar has sent an ultimatum to Great
Britain, demanding that the latter shall &C.
cept Russia's proposed boundary line be.
tween Turkestan and Afghanistan If Great
Britain refuse to accept this boundary, Rus.
sia will proceed to occupy Herat.
The Russians, as if anticipating England's
refusal to comply with their demands, have
advanced still farther into the Afghanistan
territory the act being deliberate aggres.
sion.

To that bright and golden shore,
Where they hope not for tomorrow
But are blessed forever more.
Where the joyful bells are ringing,
Where loved ones had gone before,
And are with the angels singing,
Welcome, sister, evermore.
Thus they meet with joy and gladuess.
Without promise or vow:
With no sigh from pain sadness,
She is resting happy now.

Secretary Bayard's note to the Colombo
an minister defines the attitude of the United
States with reference to all maritime powers.
Mr.. Bayard lays down the doctrine, explicitly,
that the United States would insist upon the
fretd' m of the seas, and would recognize no
paper blockadcs of ports where her citizens
desire to trade. This position of our coun-
try, in case Of @ar between England and
Russia, would, il is believed, enable us TO re-
gain some of the carrying trade which We
have lost by Republican rule.

charcoal and some shedding were destroyed.
Last Friday evening, while some hands on
Dr. Munnikhuysen's farm, near Bel Air, were
burning brush, an old chestnut tree, four or five
feet in diameter, being hollow and dry inside,
caught fire at an opening and roarcd and blsz
ed like furnace. The fire crept up inside of
the trunk and ran out of the end of the limbs,
breaking forth into sprays and sheets of flame.
1t burned for eight or ten hours, and only died
out when the flames reached the outer shell,
where the sap was flowing leaving the tree still
standing. The sight is said to have been parti-
cularly beautiful.
