Report Of tho eCommis.ioner OF "a sriouIture.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 29.-Com-
missioner Colman In his annual report says
the year which opened in gloom, threatening
the destruction Of the winter crops by the &C.
we're temperature, is closing with bright pros
ects and an abundance for man and beast,
produced at a cost which is not burden to
t he producer and to be sold at a price which
is not burden to the poor consumer. For
m any years, he says, 1t has become more and
IN ore apparent that one great need OF the
gricultural interests Of the United States is q
b etter understanding and more intimate re-
lations between the several agricultural and
experimental stations, and amore practical CO.
peration between these institutions and the
Department Of Agriculture.
OF the Bureau Of Animal Industry, he
says: 1.-THE law establishing the Bureau
does not authorize the slaughter Of animals af-
fected by contagious diseases, and It is I'm
possible for the Department to maintain
under It an ofiectual quarantine. The char
acteristics Of pleuro. pneumonia make 1t q diff
cult disease to cxtrpate, except by the slaugh-
ter Of animals, and the quarantine Of all that
have been exposed. He describes the effect
up on cur foreign trade in live stock, resulting
from the existence Of contagious diseases
amo ng the cattle, sheep and swine, and says
that the restrictions upon our Interstate com
merce from the same causes have been very
grea: burden, and that the reduction in the
value Of cattle in the afft cted States has been
enormous.
The average estimated product OF the prin-
cipal food crops Of the last five years is COM
pared with the average ofihe ten years pre-
ceding, from 1870 to 1879 inclusive, showing
an enor nous annual increase in the aggregate
as we'll as per acre.
The Commissioner, among other matters,
makes a strong appeal in behalf Of the forestry
| interests.

"How do you know she was widowp"

"Am I not foolp Yes, l did, and
as she passed it over she swcetly said:

and counted the money"

Perhaps you can explain it to the po-

He Gives His Reasons for not Attending
Mr.. Hendricks' Funeral.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 29.-The
President this afternoon determined not to
make the trip to Indianapolis. To the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press he said SIN
the first moment Of the shock Of Mr.. Hen
ricks' death yielded to mere inclination and
declared my intention to be present at the fu-
neral. or course, in reaching that conclusion
did not put out Of view peremptory press
Of public business, or what deemed suffi-
cient consideration Of my duty to the people.
The public business thought could dispose
Of by additional application and more hours of
work, and considered 1t to be my duty to the
people to answer tender sentiment of respect
and affection to the dead Vice President, which
does them great honor. ~ am satisfied now
that was at fault in considering the question,
in that did not take as comprehensive view
Of the duty which l owe to the public as
should. That is, did not look at every phase
Of 1t, and l am afraid my strong personal desire
somewhat clouded my judgment. am now re-
minded by some OF the best and most patri-
otic and thoughtful Of our citizens that
he real and solemn duties Of my Office are at
he National Capital, and that in the present
peculiar and delicate situation ought not to
take even the remote chance Of accident Incl.
dent to travel to crafty sentiment go gen
eral and 60 characteristic as that involved In
bis subject. l have been profoundly i'm
pressed by these considerations, but most Of
all have been Influenced by the strong and
unanimous presentation by the dearest
friends Of the late Vice-President, living in his
State and city, and their endorsement by the
noble and patriotic woman, who in the In
finite sorrow Of her widowhood reflects the
spirit and charsc ter of her honored husband in
her solicitude for the public good. l am now
ertain that neither my desire nor the senti-
ment referred to, nor the difficulty that at
tends In this case change Of design, nor any
s tubborn idea OF heroism, will Justify me in
ubjecting the country to any greater chance
Of disaster than attends my performance OF
strict duty here and that ought not to infict
upon my countrymen even the unrcst and
anxiety attending my departure, absence and
return in ATTENDANCE upon the funeral cere-
monies."

Congress, the Nation would be left without g
ruler, as the Senate has no President, nor the
House Speaker.
The impression prevails that the Pres
idercy pro TEN Of the Senate lies between
Sherman and Logan, with the chances favor
ing the latter because Of his late defeat for the
vice-Presidency, which he bore gracefully
While Senator Sherman denies that he is a can

The Secretary of the Interior has re-
ceived the annual report OF John c. Black,

ended June 30, 1855. It shows that there were
at the close OF the year S45, l25 pensioners.

KING THEEBAw of Burmah not only

New York Sun

New York Sun.
Politeness was born in him, and he
couldn't help it. He driftcd into n
prominent town in the South soon after
Johnston's surrender, and before any
body's temper had cooled down. He
was after cotton, and he let the fact be
known. He was from Connecticut.
and he did not try to conceal II. He
had not been IN the town two hours be-
fore an ''unregenerated" pulled his
nose.
"Ah-yes!" said the man from Con-
necticut. 'Was that accidcntal?"
No, sir! No, sir!" was the fierce re-
joinder.
"Did it n purpose, eh7m
"Of course did,
We'll | shouldn't a.thought II of
you! I'll pass II over ms case OF tenn

An hour later, as he sat in tho hote
a fire eater app cached him and spi, on
lis boots, and stood and glnred at him.
"You must have wobble to your
tongue il you can't spit straigh,cr than
that" said the man from Connecticut.

"Yes, sirl Yes, sirr'
You shouldn't do so. When I'm

excuse this on the grounds that you

In the afternoon he was given n hint
that he had better leave town at once,
and when no demurred lawyer sent
bin challenge.

"You insulted him, and ho demands,

1t camo of next morning. Ho was
thar They offered MIN an opportuni-
ty to apologize, but ho wouldn't touch
it. He stood up as stiff rs n new barn
door and bored bullet through the
mans shoulder and came of without
scratch himself.
"Bein' rs I'm out here now, and be-
in MS somebody else may want to
horsewhip mo tomorrow, wouldn't this

No ono showed up. Tho Yankee

Tho people liked tho Yankee and mado
