The Condition of the CrOps-The
corn crop has made improvement since last
report Of the Agricultural Bureau, and the
prospect has not been exceeded since 1880.
The average stands four points lower than
the standard of full condition and indicates
a yield, with seasonable moisture and favor
ing temperature hereafter, of twcnty-six to
twenty-seven bushels per acre. The moist
and hot weather following the 18th of July
has caused some damage TO spring wheat in
the Northwest mainly in Wisconsin and
Minnesota. The average decline indicates
reduction of six millions of bushels from
the expectation on the 1st of july No re-
ports concerning the result of threshing of
winter wheat arc received except in the
South In Texas the outcome is greater
than was expected, and higher rates of yield
are reported
The average for oats has declined from 81
To 90, which lis four points higher than in
August of last year. Rye averages "a, show
ing continued improvement since the LIST OF
June. Barley stands as in the last report,
at 80, which indicates about an average crop
for any series of five or ten years There is
an increase in the area of buckwheat, and
condition averages 95. A medium crop Of
hay is assured by the average 49, Tobacco
makes a general average of 81. The aver,
age for potatoes is 95 against 81 last month

A Bit of Washington History.

The National Hotel upon Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, which is familiar to
persons who have visited Washing
ton, has been undergoing extensive
repairs. 1t has been provided with
electric bells and lights, and many of
the rooms have been refurnished.
This hotel was the headquarters Of
President Buchanan, at the time Of
his Inauguration, and it was during
the time he was a guest of the house
that the sudden and mysterious dis
ease (since spoken of as the "National
Hotel ChOlera") made disappearance.
A large number of deaths occurred,
and among them that of a favOrite
nephew of Mr.. Buchanan. The raw
ages of the disease were so great that
the building wasat once vacated, and
remained closed for two or three
wears.

An impression prevails with farm
ers that briars enrich the ground on
which they grow, and for this reason
they are allowed to spring up in pas
lures and odd corners on many farms.
An old briar patch is rich because
every leaf or blade of grass that the
wind carries into them is held there,
and the grass and weeds that grow
there, being where stock cannot get
at them, fall down where they grow,
and in course of time the soil natur-
ally gets rich and the farmer becomes
poor through paying taxes on land
that he gets nothing from.

The Profits of Inventors.
American Machinist:

American Machinist:
Occasionally wehear of some lucky
inventor who makes fortune from
an invention secured to him by
patent; we are not likely to hear
much of those who lose whatever
they invest in that direction. The
cases of these lucky ones are frequent
ly seized upon as texts for homilies
on the sinfulness of patent monOpo-
lies, and good many honest people
come to believe that fortunate in
ventor ought to be held up as an
awful example.
Sometimes we hear of a merchant
whose profits have been abnormally
large, and once in while a manu-
facturer gets rich; but no one thinks
of taking exceptions. Theseare all
inventor, merchant and manufacture
Exceptional cases; and the inven-
tor alone is judged by the exception
rather than the rule. Probably not
one in ten Of the patents issued isever
heard from afterwards, and of those
that do find some kind of footing, in
about nine cases out of ten it would
have been better for the inventor and
those interested with him if they had
been abandoned. If those who are
so anxious to show up what they call
the monopoly of invention, will take
the trouble to divide all they can
charge in the way of profits to patents
by the total number of patentees,
they will not find the quotient alarm
ingly large. In the Official Gazette
of July q, the number of the last
recorded is 322, 1854. fall the profits
arising from patents were accounted
for, and from this the cost, actual and
incidental, to the three hundred thou
sand "monOpolists' deducted, the
sum left to divide would in all proba-
bility be minus quantity. A good
deal of the progress of the country is
due to invention, Notwithstanding
which, inventors, as a class, are poor
ly paid, if paid at all, which seems
doubtful. Most of the talk about
monopoly is pure nonsense.

Every few blocks, on all but the
business streets in Valparaiso, is a
platform upon which COW is tied
and MIXED to order by a dairymaid
whenever a customer calls. On a
table near by are usually found meas
ures, cans and glasses, and even often
a bottle of brandy, where a thirsty
man can mix glass of punch if he
likes. In the morning these stands
are surrounded by servants from the
aristocratic houses, with cups and
buckets, awaiting their turn, while
as fast as one COW is exhausted she is
dismissed and another driven upon
the platform. This has its advan-
tages, and the pump-handle in Chilli
is not much used by milkmen.
