The Critic.

A grouse drummed a lcali below
While robin piped up in tree;
A fig for that tune, said the grouse with a Groom.
For high.born critic was he.
With twtter sparrow flew down.
The wasp and the beetle came, too;
The bee left the rose and the frog from doze
Was aroused by the loud tattoo.
A grasshopper perched on a straw,
bobolink paused on his way,
And the burrowing mole peeped out Of his hole
To hear what they all had to say.
whats the row. Mr.. Grouse?" croaked the frog,
Whats to pay?' sang the blue.jay and wren,
While the geese, with squawk, shouted back to
the hawk,
And were joined by the quarrelsome hen.
'Alack!" said the grouse, with a frown.
81 am sick of that malapert's song"
What matters to meF' piped the bird from the
tree,
And he sang there the whole day long.

Family Quarrels in Spain.
Petit Marseliais.

About year ago gypsy named Morals was
assassinated at Zerza, in the province of Caceres
by one Of his comrades named Silra The latter
was in due course tried and condemned to death.
but his execution did not satisfy the vengeance
of the victims family. There had been ill feel
ing between the two families for three years, but
there had been no open quarrel until the murder
of Morals Soon after the execution of the
murderer, which took place last month. the Two
families met on their return from fair near the
town of Caceres They had their mules and
cattle with them. There were about fifty on
each side, including women and children. A
regular pitched battle ensued, reyolvers, knives,
and sticks being freely used by the men, while
the women employed their nails with consider
able effect and the children threw stones indis-
criminately. The result of the struggle was
that the heads of the two families were both
killed, two of the women, and several of the chill
dren. There were ten or twelve wounded and
the bodies of the dead were horribly mutilated.
If the mounted police had not interrupted the
fight there would have been many more lives
lost Several OF the mules were killed, and the
baggage Of the two families was strewn about In
such disorder that the road for dearly half mile
looked as il q large army had beaten retreat
along IL.

favOring Sir. Bayard's views. The remain

RETURNS of April to the Department
of Agriculture, at Washington, indi-
cate a reduction of over ten per cent.
of last years area in winter wheat.
The aggregate shortage amounts to
three million acres. A decrease is re-
ported in every State except Oregon.
The present condition of wheat, as re-
ported, is worse than in 1888. 1t is
seventy-seven per cent. against ninety
six last year and eighty in 1888. In
1881. the year of the lowest recent date
of yield, the condition April l was S5,
and serious loss was sustained after
ward. On the present showing, the
reduction of the yield on the basis of
last years promises to be forty million
bushels on account of the reduced area,
and more than sixty millions from
winter killing and low vitality.

KANSAS STATE NEWS.


The Statistician of the Department OF
Agriculture in his forthcoming report OF
the distribution of corn and wheat will
have this to say in regard to Kansas: The

pondents, is the same this year as last-4
per cent. The proportion Of the crops OF
1884 that was sound was larger than that
Of the previous year, being 90 per cent
The corn crop of 1884 was not only the
largest in the history of the State, but was
of better quality than ever before. The
average price per bushel, however, of the
crop remaining on hand is much less than
at this time one year ago, being twenty
seven cents per bushel for sound and eigh-
teen cents for unsound. This low price has
prevailed since the fall of 1884, and as a
result much larger per cent. than usual
yet remains in the field, this proportion
being thirteen per cent. For the first time
In several seasons the western ccun-
ties harvested a fair crop, and
much preparation is being made in conse-
quence to put in an increased area this
year. and large addition has been made

estimated that at least IS per cent. of the
wheat crop of 1884 still remains in pro-
ducers' hands, and that it will continue to
remain there until an advance in the
market is made. The three consecutive
prosperous seasons in Kansas have placed
the farmers in good financial condition,
and the disposition of products is now con-
trolled by them. OF the crop of 1884, 40
per cent. will remain in the counties in
which it was produced. This is a much
larger proportion to remain home than
ever before, the principal reason for it be-
ing the large increase made during the
past year in milling interests. In many of
the cities in the great wheat belt large
-four mills have been established during
the past two years, and the State is fast
assuming Importance as a manufacturing
section. The quality of the crop last year
was better than the preceding one, the
average weight per bushel being 5S pounds,
as compared with 56 pounds in 1885.
