Tennessee Crops.

A Washington special to the Nash
vile Union, gives the following in
formation on this all important sub
ject:
The agricultural department has
very encouraging reports regarding
the condition of crops in Tennessee.
The winter wheat ranks above the
average crop and is rated at 1O2, a
point to which only two other states,
Kentucky and California, attain.
Winter rye is at the high average of
100; meadow moving lands, Sc;
spring pasture, 50. The proportion
of the cotton crop planted May l was
II per cent at that date in other years.
The report devotes large amount OF
space to the credit system practiced

1t may, perhaps, not be amiss to devote
few lines to the subject of petticoats-upper
petticoats that are worn Immediately under
the dress For dark toilets they are made OF
black or dark colored silk; they are trimmed
with q thick ruche of faille of the same color,
pinked at the edges, or perhaps with several
ruches of black lace, which is very pretty,
but not SO serviceable For the spring there
are being made petticoats of MORE or watered
stuff in all colorS. They are adapted to the
dress with WHICH they are to be worn, a dark
petticoat being worn with a dark dress and a
cream or mastic petticoat with light dress.
The MORE of which they are made is a cotton
stuff, which keeps its stiffness, and there are
steel springs in the petticoat to form the
tournme. Except for indoor toilets in the
summer, white petticoats are no longer worn
directly under the dress. -Harper's Bazaar.
Green Oysters.
The green color which sometimes affects
American as well as European oysters has
formed the subject Of a late special investiga-
ton by microscopic at the Smithsonian
institution. He finds that it is the minute
blood cells which become tinged with green
and that these tend to lodge in the heart and
the gills in numbers great enough to give q
green appearance. The coloring matter
which may be vegetable or an abnormal pro
duct of digestion, is entirely harmless, and il
no wise due to copper tincture, as is popu.

Captain W. P. Manly, whose picture heads
this article, is a well known member of At
lanta's excellent police force. Atlanta is
noted for the discipline and efficiency of its
corps of police and the standard of its rank
and file is very high. Captain Manly is a
fair specimen of the intelligence and
physical perfection which is required of its
officials. Some years ago the Captain unfor-
tunately acquired blood poison, which for
year gave him more or les trouble, and
threatened to undermine and totally destroy
his entire physical system. He is a magnif-
fient specimen of manhood with constitu-
ton like iron, but this insdious disease gave
him
UNMISTAKABLE WARNING
that it was sapping and mining at the founda-
ton of his constitution. The Captain said in

AN APPEAL.

ing:
AN APPEAL.
The Board of Managers of the
American Bible Society makes this
important statement: "Never was
there more general demand for the
Scriptures in our own land, never
were the nations of the earth stretch
ing forth their hands so eagerly for
the Word of Life, never was this So
ciety so fully equipped for its work,
and prosecuting it more vigorously"
But while the work of the society
has been expanding, both at home
and abroad, the receipts have been
declining, so that unless the cause is
more generally and preSsingly pre-
sented in thechurches, and hefriends
Of the society respond more literally
to its claims, the work in some de
partment must soon be curtailed, or
even suspended. Impressive truths,
in view of which it is useless to null
tiply words.
This appeal is to pastors, congrega-
tons, individuals, and Auxiliary BIZ
BILE Societies, in Kentucky and Ten
nesSee.
Ecclesiastical bodies Of cooperating
churches have taken action, which if
generally and faithfully carried out,
will bring relief, and the great work
of the society will go forward unem-
barrassed.
Some extracts are given to indicate
this action by the different denomina-
tons. The General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, in the United
States, "Recommendsal all our churches
and congregations to aid it''-the A.
B. Shy their corporations and
contributions" The General Assem-.
bly, of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America, "recom
mends this work to the warmest sup.
port and cooperation of our people,
Minutes, 1882, p. 1O6.
The Memphis Conference of the
M. E. Church, South, 1884, Resolved
=" That each pastor present thu
claims of this society to each one O
his congregations during the year
and also take a collection for the i'm

The Kentucky, Louisville, Tennes
see, and Holston Conferences Of tn,

resolutions. The Kentucky Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopa

WE will have to own up and beg
pardon Of the American. The dis
patch we alluded to last week rela-

issue of the 4th inst. After very
minute search of that issue we found
it in an obscure corner much more
appropriate for a patent medicine adj

casionally, however, in the makeup

so we will forgive the American this

"Base ball players get all the way
from two to five thousand dollars
year, while there are hundreds of
preachers all over the country strug-
Cling for existence on salaries of two
to five hundred dollars. "-EX.
That's a fact, no doubt, but there
are hundreds Of baseball players who
get less than two thousand dollars a
year, and hundreds of preachers who
get more. AS general thing talent
commands about all it is worth,
whether in the pulpit, on the base
ball ground, or any of the intermedi-
ate positions. A five hundred dollar
baseball player never grumbles at the
world being unevenly balanced be-
cause a five thousand dollar preacher
gets more money than he does.
