Strange Change of the War

New York Tribune.
The following story was told a short
time ago by F. H. Pierpont, the loyal
War Governor of Virginia:
There was an amusing encounter be-
tween Governor Wise and myself in the
Summer OF 1865, after I went to Rich
mond as Governor of the restored gov
eminent of Virginia. Meeting him one
morning, we shook hands very cordially,
and / remarked: Governor, I suppose
you have been rusticating, as I have
missed you from the city for some
weeks"
"Yes," was the reply. give been
down to my farm in Princess Anne coun-
ty, and what do you suppose I found
there?"
I answered.: II don't know. When 1
was there in 1863 saw large number
of freedmen cutting your timber. What
did you find, General?'
"Why, sir, found John Browns
daughter, teaching Negro school in my
Mansion house; and they would not per-
NIT me to 60 into my house"
AT this 1 laughed heartily. Gen.
Wise looked me straight in the eye, and
demanded: "What are you laughing at
sir?"
1 said: General, you must excuse me-;
that in less than seven years after you
hung John Brown for his supposed at
tempt to steal the Negroes from Virginia,
his daughter was teaching a Negro
school in your mansion, and you were q
fugitive not permitted to enter it."
John Brown" exclaimed Gen. Wise,
twas great man, sir; he was q great
man. Yes," he said, raising his right
hand and assuming his most majestic at
titude, "John Brown was a hero; John
Brown was hero, sir!" Then turning
suddenly he walked of, seemingly n
solemn meditation. This was the only
time John Brown was alluded to in our
conversation,

The Great Flanker Flanked,

Colonel Marklano's War "Reminiscences.
When General Sherman's army was
at Goldsboro, N. c., General Sherman
made a visit to the headquarters OF
General Howard. While there he felt
the need of a small draught of whisky to
drive off the malarial effects of the
climate on his system. Now all of the
officers of the army knew of Towards
rigid temperance proclivities, and were
strict in their respect for them. General
Sherman knew there was no whisky in
General Towards quarters, and there
fore did not mention his wants. Pres
emily DIR. John Moor, the Medical Direc-
tor, came in, and after little converse
ton General Shermen gave him the
wink and said: doctor, have you a
seidlitz powder in your quarters" The
Doctor answered that he had. General
Howard said: General Sherman, it is
not necessary to 90 to the Doctors quar-
tiers; have plenty of seidlitz powders
here and good ones, too. will get you
one." If there was anything in General
Towards quarters that General Sherman
did not want it was q seidlitz powder,
and, therefore, he said to General How
ard: Never mind, General. Give your
self no trouble" Howard was then get
ting the powder and glasses of water
ready.) 1 will be going by Moor's quar-
tiers after awhile" DR.. Moor was q
great wag, and quickly took in the si.ua-
ton and became q Iarty to the joke on
General Sherman. He said to General
Sherman: "By the way, General, l don't
think have seidlitz powder in my
quarters, and you had better take the
one General Howard has," By this
time General Howard had the powder
all ready for use and handed the glasses
to General Sherman. Rather than
offend Howard by saying he meant
whisky he drank the foaming stuff,
much to his own disgust, to the satisfac-
ton of General Howard and to the
amusement of the staff officers.

CROP REPoRT,
A Worse Showing Than Was Expected
Month AGO.

A Worse Showing Than Was Expected .
Month Ago.
We have obtained the following facts
relative to the condition of crops in Kan
sas, from Major Sims, Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture:
WINTER WHEAT.
The injury to this crop, from the
severity of the winter, insect depreda-
tons and other causes, is now found to
be much greater than appearances indi-
Gated one month ago. Many fields
which, at the date of our last report,
promised a fair yield, now show more
chess than wheat, and will yet he
ploughed up and seeded to millet. Of
the 1918, 298 acres sown to winter wheat
in the State in the Fall of 1884, at least
40 per cent, or 645, 319 acres, have been
abandoned and the ground SEEDED to
Spring crops, and the work of destruction
still continues. The present outlook
clearly indicates that the harvest of this
year will prove the most disastrous fail
ure known in the history of wheat cul-
ture in the State, and warrants the be-
lief that the total product will be re-
CURED for seed and bread within the
State during the year. From a careful
compilation of the information received
at this Office the condition, May 3Oth, of
the area then remaining (967, $40 acres)
is found to be Sc per cent. as compared
with the condition one year ago-a loss
of % per cent from the condition shown
by the report of this Board, April 3Oth.
therefore estimate that the product of
Winter wheat in the State this year can
not exceed 100000 bushels-a small
fraction in excess of rs per cent. of the
product of the last harvest, and about 80
per cent. of the average annual product
for the last five years.
SPRING WHEAT.
The area of spring wheat in the State
is found to be about equal to that sown
in the spring of 1884. The condition has
improved since the date of our April re-
port, and as compared with the condition
one year ago is 101.56 per cent. which,
with favorable weather until harvest,
would indicate product of 1,39O,592
bushels-a promised increase over last
year of 81 ,4S2 bushels.
CORN.
Estimated area, 1902, 1888 acres, an in
crease of 356, $50 acres over the crop of
1884. Condition as compared with last
year, "a per cent, probable product, 16O,-
$4,000 bushels, shortage of about 3d.
100000 bushels, as compared with the
crop of 1884.
The general increase of this crop
throughout the state gives an increase in
area compared with last year of 1925
acres, which with the improvement in
condition reported, indicate product of
SO 1924, 900 bushels. An increase of 4,
1877 900 over the yield of last harvest.
No material change since our April
report. A falling of in acreage as COM
pared with last gear of about twenty
eight per cent, and in condition of about
ten.
Reports indicate a large crop of all
kinds except peaches in all sections of
the State having trees, bushes and vines
old enough to bear. The prospect is
good for an abundant peach crop in the
south central portion of the state. In
other sections the crop is failure.
