The Outlook for Crops.-This week we
nave interviewed several prominent Baltimore
county farmers the subject of the growing
crops.
Mr.. Philip T. George, of Long Green Valley,
says the wheat crop in that section will average
grass short
Mr.. P. II. Walker, of the Sd district says his
wheat will not yield more than the third of crop,
ana this, too, on land that will grow sixteen bar
rels of corn to the acre.
Mr.. John Smith, who owns large farm on the
Jarretsvile pike, 10th district, and who is Of
the best farmers in the county, says that he is
certain of more than half crop of wheat. His
prospects for oats and corn were never BETTER but
he reports the grass crop short.
Mr.. Nicholas II. Parker, a successful 10th dis
trlct farmer, says his wheat will produce more
than half crop. The outlook for oats he says
is good and corn is also looking well, but the
growth has not been luxurient it should be-
Mr.. Thomas Gorsuch of c., whose farm is near
Gardenvile, 18th district says the wheat in that
section will yield more than two-thirds Of an
average crop, while some farmers will realize full
crop. The grass, corn and oats crops are looking
well and the prospect is altogether satisfactory.
Mr.. John Crowther. Jr., chief clerk to the Com
missioners, who owns a fine farm in the 9Th dis
trict, near Cockeysville, says the wheat crop in
his neighborhood and as far north as Hereford,
will not realize more than half the accustomed
yield. He attributes the failure to the great
drouth which prevailed about seeding time last
year, and not to the hard winter, as so many
think. He reports the oats and corn crops grow
ing finely, but says the clover and timothy feel s
are not presenting very fourishing outlook and
his prediction is not moro than half q crop. The
hard winter, he says killed the clover. He reports
the wheat fields free from fly and rust.
Mr.. Jacob B. Hampshire reports the prospect
for wheat in the 9Th and 9th districts as most
encouraging. This is pleasant outlook for our
up-county farmers.
Mr.. Andrew Jackson Wiley, of White Hall, 9TH
district, gives very encouraging account of the
probable yield of wheat in his vicinity. He ex-
poets 20 bushels to the acre on his northerly ex-
posed fields, and 30 bushels where better protected
from the winter. He considers this an exception
ally good showing for this season. He has used
many of the principal fertilizers, and last year
used the Laurenson phosphate, and with all
things considered, the best results. Mr.. Wiley
also reports the crop entirely free from fly and
Inst
= Mr.. William G. Rogers, who farms the Devries
property, in the Sd district, near Pikesville, re.
ports the prospects of a good yield of wheat re-
markably bright. In comparing his prospects
with many of his neighbors he feels much encour-
aged, both as regards the prospective quantity
and quality which has characterized his past few
years experience. No fly or rust is reported in
the neighborhood.

The Digger or Locust Wasp.-Prof. Lugger,

The Digger, or Locust Wasp.-Prof Lugger,
the entomologist of the Johns Hopkins University,
in recent interview with reporter, said:
"The cicada or locust, as you know, does not
sting. The little instrument with which it bores
into trees is never used in self defense or for
attack by the insect. There is no poison sac at
tached, and, should this ovipositor pierce the
hand, it would be no more harmful than the prick
of needle. The real proprietor of the sting,
which is sometimes enormously attributed to the
locust, is the digger wasp This insect is as large
locust, with round body and yellow mark
ings. The digger wasp lives on honey, but its
young is fed upon insect food. The mother wasp
selects hard soil, usually road or pathway,
and burrows into the ground. This burrow she
stuffs full of insects-locusts when they to be
found-and deposits her eggs. The young are
Matched and feed upon the supply of locusts
til they strong enough to find food for them
selves. The wasp stings locust just back of the
neck and paralyzes without killing it. 1t is while
flying to the hole that it usually stings anyone
interfering with it. The wasp carries the locust
under it, between its legs, but the latter being
even heavier than its captor, renders the flight of
the wasp unsteady, it being often obliged to rest
Quite frequently, when tired, the insect alights
upon human being, who brushes it roughly off and
is stung."
"Is the sting dangerous, professor"
dyes; this is the most dangerous wasp we have,
and there are instances where its sting has proved
fatal These wasps will be more numerous next
year than this, owing to the unlimited supply of
food they have had this season to nurish the
Young wasps in their cells. Whenever any one
is stung by wasp" continued the professor,
"liquor ammonia should be applied at once, or as
soon as possible. Ammonia neutralizes the poison
and relieves the pain in short time"

Death from, q s,no,,lar t,a,,se

Death from Singular Cause.-Capt. A..
S. DUNCAN died at his residence, Surry Farm, on

An Old Farmer.-Mr. Nicholas H. Parker,
@ ell-known farmer of the 10th district, Bati-
more county, in his I'D year, has been attend
ing the Baltimore markets and driving his team
in hauling hay and other farm products for up
wards Of 55 years, first accompanying the team
as salesman, when but Is years of age, and con-
tinuing his trips uninterruptedIy up until last
winter when a severe spell Of sickness compelled
him to hand the rens and whip over to his son.
No doubt he did it with some reluctance, but his
many friends will agree with US in saying that
it was the proper thing for him to do. Mr.
Parker, having lead very active life for so long
period, should now, in his declining years, take
a rest from his labors and enjoy, with his family,
the fruits of well-spent life.

was from s., 900 to $4,000.

CHARGES AGAINST A SENATOR.
Mr.. Mcpherson Makes Flat Denial of the
Allegations Of the Trenton American.

NEW York, July 8--The True American of
Trenton, N. j., has published charge based
on a statement by man named Peter II.
Watson, to the effect that VIM j. Sewell lat
present senator in Congress) and Senator John
r. Mcpherson, of New Jersey, met in room &c
of the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, Dec. S,
1878, and then and there concocted scheme to
secure and advance the political fortunes of BOTH
and also to assist the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. Senator Mcpherson has made long
affidavit in reply to the charges, in which he
denies that there is any truth in them whatever
and gives at length the correspondence between
himself and number of other persons, brought
about by efforts on his part to trace the story to
some authentic source, at various times between
October, 1879 and the present time The first
letter was to Senator Randolph who. he under
Stood had spoken of the matter Subsequently,
he says Senator Randolph pooh -poohed the
story, and said he would never speak of it again.
The matter dropped out of sight till October
1880, in the midst of the presidential campaign,
when 1t was again revived. and Henry g. Ke-
sey he asserts took occasion to threaten him
with 1T. Senator Mcpherson says he endeav-
ored, without success, to get the name of the
author of the story. He then discovered, by
reference to the hotel register, that p. III. Wat
son, of Ohio occupied the room adjoining No. 26
on the night IN question, and wrote him letter
asking him to make the facts public. This let.
ter was not answered. The Senator then pro
ceeded to say that he engaged room 2G on the
date mentioned, as he was going TO Philadelphia
on business; that he arrived late met some of
the men with whom he had business in the Office
of the hotel; that, without going to his room at
all, he went away on this business. and, without
returning, took late train for New York, so
that he was not in the room at all. In this con-
nectlon he gives cOnfrmatory letters from James
Montgomery then of Chicago but now
of New York, and a. NJ Fuller
of Philadelphia. All this occurred
in 1880. Again. he says, all was quiet till the
presidential canvass of 1884, when it was
vived. at time when it was expected to hurt
the chances of President Cleveland. Senator
Mcpherson charges that the matter was brought
up from time to time, merely for political CAPT
tal and expresses the belief that Henry c. Kel-
sey and Henry S. Little inspired the attacks. In
denying their truth he says: II now and here
affirm, with all possible particularly, that did
not meet General Sewell, nor any man, woman
or child in room 26, Continental Hotel, Philadel-
phia, on Dec. 5, 1873 either during the day or
night, nor have !, subsequent to that date, in
Philadelphia or elsewhere, for the object and
purpose as charged"

IMPORTANT BIBLICAL DISCOVERY.
Small Scrap of Papyrus that May Cause
Considerable Controversy.
Jurisprudence London Times.

Vienna Correspondence London Times.
Professor .Iarabacek has been good enough to
show me the papyrus which has lately been dis
covered among the FL Fayum manuscripts, and
which Is alleged TO be the fragment of gospel
older than those of St. Matthew and st. Mark.
1t is very small fragment, measuring three and
half centimeters in length, and four and one
third in width, and contains seven lines, having
l05 words. OF these, ninety-six can be
plainly decIphered but nine are in
distinct. Some lines arc mutilated at
the beginning and end, and it is sup
posed that from ninety-one to ninety-eisht let
tiers are missing. The number of deficient let
tiers can be reckoned by comparing lines three,
four and seven with the others. The seventh
contains but four letters
The writing is in Greek, and DR.. G. Bickeli, of
the University Of Innsbruck who discovered
and deciphered the fragment, concludes from
the form of the letters and the authorizations,
that it was written in the third century. but
from the style of the composition he infers that
it dates originally from the first century. and
this is also the opinion of DR.. Edward Ilarnark.
