TIE CROPS.

The latest government monthly re-
port at Washington pronounces the
corn crop of 1885 above the average of
the past ten years.
The potato crop is much less than
1884. In New York the crop falls
one-third below the usual yield, in
consequence of the rot. In Wiscon-
sin and Iowa there also is much COM
plant of the rot.
The buckwheat crop is large. the
average yield exceeding fourteen bush
els per acre.

Several newspapers have noticed the
fact that III a number of counties in
Iowa, according to the late census,
there has been no increase in popula
ton. They attribute this to the en-
forcement Of the state prohibitory law.
To this it may be replied. when man
with family refuses to settle in a
locality where school houses, churches
and temperance people are more com
mon than poor houses, saloons, jails
and staggering inebriates, the less the
increase of population of that sort
the better; IN such radiance ali good
citizens rejoice.

ENGLISH EEECTIONS.

The elections in England, which are
expected to begin about the Esd of this
month, are assuming more vigorous
and heated form than is commonly
witnessed in American elections. The
chief issue has narrowed down to a
religious one. The efforts made to
avoid making this an issue have fail
ed, and the parties have taken their
positions for the battle. The chief
question is Church disestablishment,"

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to occupy
little space in your paper, to answer
some of the frequent inquiries Of peo-
pie abroad, who were once residents in
Kenosha, and moved to other parts at
different periods in the past. These
persons naturally like to hear what is
uppermost in Kenosha, how society
matters are getting on, and how the
leisure people are occupying their
time? The TELEGRAPH being an old
established paper, has many subscri-
berS who were formerly residents
here. and now look for news from
their old home with much interest.
There are variety of organizations
in this city, some of them no doubt
highly useful, but of them all there is
not a single literary society of any kind.
Societies of this kind do not seem to
flourish here; whether it is for the
want of material. or the lack Ut taste
in that direction, / will not attempt to
judge. The latest association formed
is called the Cooking School," This
society is not exactly what its name
imports. A school ordinarily has a
teacher or professor, but this school
does not appear to be founded on that
plan. If cooking be regarded science.
a study of the laws of hygiene and a
chemical knowledge of food substances
needs to be learned. As so MANY
persons are guessing what is meant by
this cooking school, a few lines are
thrown in to explain. 1t is understood
to be simply this: A meeting every two
weeks of young ladies, at which time
each one contributes palatable eatables
for a supper to which young gentle
men are invited, and an enjoyable
occasion is anticipated; that is about
all.
There are distinct objects FOR which
societies are organized. Next to the
religious comes the intellectual, men,
tai culture, expansion of thought and
tile acquisition of knowledge. These
haze been the avenues in which states

NEW CHURCH ENTERPRISE.

A new church has recently been
built in New York under the direction
of the New York mission at cost of
$175,0O0. The building is throughout
attractive. and is expected to draw to
it those who have hitherto been church
less. In addition to large and beau
tiful audience room, are class rooms,
reading rooms, Sunday school rooms,
and gymnasium. The church is de-
signed for the common people, and it's
projectors hope it will be self-support-
ing. The poorer people who do not
feel at home in the elegant city church
es, as now constituted, will have a
place to worship which they may con-
slider their own, and as attractive as
the best. Mr.. Moody has preached in
this church to large audiences.

Among them one entitled, Dangers

ing great enterprises in this country
and in England are marked; in the
former the profits OIL the investment
accrue to corporations; in the latter to
the people. Facts are given by
Il distinguished writer in the Century
for the people of this country to con-
slider. They are the following:
/. Three or four years after the
British Government had secured the
ownership and control of the telegraph
lines of Great Britain, the following
results of its administration were as
certained: The number of offices for
business had incl eased thirty per cent.
the number of messages fifty per cent.
the number Of words sent two hundred
per cent; the cost of sending had been
reduced forty per cent; and it had
actually cost the government nothing,
for it borrowed the money for the enter
prise at three per cent; and the profits
of the business were four and three
tenths per cent. Government in Eng
land can conduct Il great telegraphic
enterprise for the people better than
private enterprises. If government in
America cannot, it is time that we
found out the reason why.
2. The Erie Canal, the great high
way of commerce, before railroads
were in operation, had cost this State

control great waterway, why not a

we could undertake that work our

HIGHER EDUCATION.

A number of ladies in a eighboring
city are organizing for the purpose Of
securing higher standard of educa-I
ton for young women. A Chicago
paper makes the following sensible
suggestions, which the movers of high
er education would do well t1 take in
to consideration: 4
1--WE respectfully suggest that the
term higher education should COM
prehend within it's scope not only in
struction in mathematics, in the class
les and in the fine arts, but also those
equally important practical branches
which will prepare young women for
the duties and responsibilities of do,
nestle life The home is woman's
kingdom, and to qualify her to admin :
lister its affairs intelligently. tastefully
and happily, should be one of the chief
objects of her early and higher educa-
tion.' ~
To this sentiment every right-think-
ing person will give favorable response.
There are great many domestic du-
ties pertaining to household affairs,
which are not reached in ladies' SEM
inaries and the higher institutions of
learning generally. Hundreds of young
women are now in high schools, aca-
denies and seminaries, who will
probably eventually graduate. When
that end shall be reached, what then? ?
Are they prepared to take care of
themselves and be self-Supporting |?
Haye they reasonable assurance that
the time willnever come when they will
be in need Of some Of the common COM
forts oflife? This is a world of change:
fortunes are made and lost almost in a
day. Not only the careless and prof
ligate fail, but good financiers often
make mistakes. IF book learning,
perhaps embellished with little music
or knowledge of embroidery. be the
only capital relied upon when pecun-
larry aid is needed. many will be sadly
disappointed and in dependent con-
dition, relying on fathers and mothers
or other friends for support. is pos
slble that a few of these prospective
graduates may find employment as
teachers in public schools, but these
positions. when attainable, are pre-
carious; besides the number desir-
Gus to engage in that occupation are
in excess Of the demand for desirable
situations. {
Were the fact ascertainable what
proportion of young women who have
finished their school education and who
are living without contributing to the
general stock of the country's wealth
or of life's support, it would be surpris-
ing. But there is a more encouraging
outlook for the future. A more health
full public sentiment is gaining control;
industrial trades for young women are

Young women belonging to the more
wealthy classes are taking a sensible
view of Industrial instruction.
