the condition of the coming wheat
crop, and their researches cover a
wido exteut Of tolriioiy The Cha
cago Times winter wheat report
brings ont these facts: Oue- Third Uf
the crop was sown late. owing to fear
OF IIessian ny. This pi iopor;ion Of
the crop has suffered more or less
from winter killing during the last
thirty days The acreage OF 1856 is
from to 10 per cent below tho
acreage OF 1855 This reduction wns
caused by the scarcity and high
price Of good seed wheat at seeding
time, aud also the generally dIscour-
aging outlook for the wheat grower.
The states Of Illinois, Kansas aud
Missouri show the largest decrease
in acreage the acreage Of Indiana,
Ohio, and Michigan is practically tie
snme as the acreage Of the Ireced-
ing year. The acreage in Kentucky
and Tennessee shows redaction Of
about Q per cent The wheat that has
been protected during the whole
winter by STOW il confined only to
limited areas in different states, and
at no time since the wintcr-w hcut
crop was sovh in lSSJ has tho win.
ter-whcat belt as whole been pro-
tected for period Of time over twens
" DAYS. Oa the whole, the weather
for February wns trying upon the
wheat crop, and the mouth of tlarch
mp TO this date has shown little IT
any improvement Np;th Of the Ohio
river the winter wheat has scarcely
any growth a. yet, aud the crop is
backward As a class, farmers arc
inclined TO hold the reserves Of whta'
ouly where crop prospects are not
encouraging. The loSj crop has
been pretty well cleaned mp, but
there seems to be cou-ilcrub.e Of
the 1854 whca, ou hand. The con
clusions arrived At ale substantially
these. March II, prospects are fan
for an average crop with favorable
weather for tue next thirty days, blt
no Indications oia iu!. excessive crop.
The most encouraging outlook for
wheat comes irym The Pacific slope.

Sharpers who got Left.

There is sharper's game which has been played for the last 100 years, and as the turning point is avarice the game works forty-hine times where it fails once. Two sharpers set out few weeks ago to play it on Q Wayne county far mer. One of them came along one day and wanted to buy the farm. As the farmer wanted to sell it was quite easy to strike bargain. The price was to be $4000 in cash, and the man handed over $250 to bind the bargain. Within two days second stranger came along and wanted the farm. He wanted it so bad that he couldn't stand still. He found indications of coal, natural gas and coal oil, and he was willing to give $6500 for the place. The idea was, of course, that the farmer would be awful sick of his first sale and seek to buy the man off. It would pay him to offer the man $500 to release hlm.
 The second stranger was only out of sight when the first one turned up again His mouth watered over the prospects,, but not for long. The farmer explained that he had been offered $25OO more and added
 ''But I don't care for money. The $4000 is enough for me, and it's all the old farm is worth. When you are ready to pay the balance we'll make out the papers" :"
 The purchaser offered to release him for $100O-$700-$50O-$3 but the farmer didn't want to be released. He hung to the bargain money, and he'sgot it yet, while the pair of sharpers rave and gnash their teeth every time they think of the thickness of his skull.

A Chicago Pioneer.

A pioneer of Chicago lies dying in a cosy little home on the North Side in that city, says Chicago letter. His name is Gordon s. Hubbard. He it was who, fifty seven years ago, entered the mouth of the Chicago river, and, step ping from his little boat, stood on the marshy bank and looked over the swamps upon which Chicago now stands. He was the first trader who ever furnished the Indians with sup plies at that point, he was Chicago's first pork packer, he built the Chicago warehouses. he raised Perry's famous flag ship, and with it and three other vessels founded the Eagle line, the very beginning of Western lake commerce. Over half a century ago, as agent of the American Fur Company, he made the trip between Mackinac and Fort Dear born twenty-slx times in an open boat. He is o7el 85 years of age.
 The other evening his aged wife read to him the report of Jeff Davis's tour through the South, and the old man said: ''I remember Jeff very we'll. He came to the fort in 1920 on his way to Fort Winnebago, and entertained him at my house and played cards with him far into the night"

Not at Present.

The Rev. Penstock arose in tho Lime Kiln Club to question of privilege. One of the local papers had referred to him as "a saddle colored coon who wanted to be Alderman from the Third Ward" The insult applied to the entire club. If he was coon they were all coons. If he was saddle -colored there were fifty other members in the same fix. He proposed suit for damages by and in the name of the club.
 "What fur?" blandly asked the Presi- dent.
 ''Fur slander, sah! In de fust place Is not a saddle-culld coon, an in de next doan' want to be Alderman"
 "Brudder Penstock, de man who starts out in life calkerlatin' to f-ow a stone ebery time anybody yells at him has hard job on hand. Neber you mind your complexun. You can't turn black CT, an Pm sartin you won't bleach out any winter. As fur be1n' called coon, dat's all right. You kin git eben by callin' white folks 'possum. If you doa'n want to be Alderman nobody will fo'ce you to. Indeed you hasn't one chance in thousand of gittin' dar."
 ''Td like vote of de club on de queshun of suit for damages" said Penstock.
 A vote was taken, and he found hlm- self entirely alone.-Detroit Free Press.

President Tyler's Son.

One of the most striking figures seen in Washington is the son of ex-President Tyler. He is now an old man. He is bent with weight of years. His long, white, patriarchal beard sweeps down from his venerable face, nearly covering his broad breast He wears soft hat slouched we'll down over his deeply y-set eyes, and is dressed generally in a care less suit of badly cut black. He is rarely noticed, and walks the street to most people unknown. Yet ill his day he was one of the great beaus of Wash ington. He was considered one of the handsomest men who ever graced the so ciety of Washington. When his father was President he was the leader among the young men who went in Washington society. He was tall then, straight as an arrow, and with a most magnificent persencc, if one can judge from the glowing tales of his contemporaries. Ho used to wear a long, shaggy coat tr mmed with Astrakhan fur, which was ill that day rarity When lie walked the ave nue swinging his cane, twirling his brown mustache, with his fur coat thrown back, he was hailed as the hero of his time Women bowed down and worshipcd before him, and the number of his conuucsts was legion. To-day he is poor, broken old man who walks, in significant and unknown, about the streets where he once reigned as a social king.-Neao York World.

Hints to ConsuInpt1ves.

Y,nsumptiyes should use food as nourishing AR can be had and in a shape that will best agree with the stomach and taste of tho pa tient.
 Outdoor exercise is earnestly recommended If YOU are unable to take such exercise on horseback or on foot, that should furnish no excuse for shutting yourself indoors, but you should take exercise in carriage, or in some ,>,er way bring yourself in contact with the open air.
 Medicines which cause expectoration must be avoided. For five hundred years phy- sicians have tried to cure Consumption by ming them and have failed. Where there is great Arrangement of the secretions, with enporgement of air-cells, there is always profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure re- moves the engorgement and the Arrangement of the secretions, and consequently tand in this way only) diminishes the amount of mat ter expectorated. This medicine does not dry LID & cough, but removes the cause Of it.
 When it is impossible from debility or other causes to exercise freely in the open air, apart ments occupied by the patient should be so ventilated as to ensure tho constant accession of fresh air in abundance; u,o b. snona.a as often as every third day with tepid water and g little soft-soap; This, is preferable to friction ie with the hand moistened with oil, God-Iiver or Olive is the best. This keeps the DO, es of the skin in soft, pl1able condlt1on, which contributes mate, ially to the unloading of waste matter from the system through this tn organ. You will please recollec we cure th,s d sease ly enabling the organs of the sys sen em or. in other words, we remove obstructlcn-. ;. while the recuperative powers of the system cure the disease.
 We will here say 8 word in regard to cough n the f rming stage, where there Is no con stitutional or noticeable disease. A cough may may not foreshadow serious evil; take "a @ it in its mi dest form, to say the least, 1t IS a nu sance and should be abated.
 A cough is unlike any other symptom Of dis ease It stands conspirator. with threaten ing voice. menacing the health and existence of a vital organ. It's first approach is in whts- pers uninte1ligible, and at first too often un. needed. but in time it never fails to ma e itself understood-never fails to claim the attention of those on whom it calls
 If YOU have 8 cough without disease of the lungs or serious constitutional distqr bance so much the better, as a few do es of P1so's Cure will be all you may need, while 1T you TO Tar advanced in Consumption, several bottles may he required to effect permanent cure.

This Porous Plastea

THE devices ot newspaper correspon. dents of Washington to obtain news are often ingenious and sometimes dis honest. Back of the House and Senate galleries there are is1ge rooms, with tables for writing and telegraphic facil. ities for sending dispatches. The cor respondents do much of their writing on these tables, and one of them who had been telegrapher sat and listened to the news of his competitor as it went clicking over the wires. The striking similarity of his dispatches to those of other correspondents soon exposed the trick, however, and change was made to thwart him. This lazy, but smart correspondent, however, got the news, and his opponents were at loss, for long timo, to find out how he did so. They finally set watch upon him, and found that he was in the habit of going up over the House, where the telegraph wires ran. He had a fine sense of touch and was so good telegrspher that he could read what was going on over the wires by wetting his fingers and placing them upon them.

THE Dublin Freeman says: "The Princess Beatrice is beginning to derive some little benefit from her marriage. Up till now she has never been per- mitted to pay visit on her own &C., count to any house-not even to her own relatives. It seems, however, she is to be allowed to go to Sandringham with her husband and spend few days with the Prince of Wales. But the festive Prince is very catholic in his sympathies, and society at his house, though delightful, is little 'mixed.' Prince Henry of Battenberg, being 8 person of dubious birth, is naturally fearful stickler for etiquette and stands on his royal dignity, now that he has by marriage attained some in Englan1, in the most amusing manner. He has accordingly demanded that before his wife is allowed to visit her brother a list of all the persons who are to be in the house during their visit shall be submitted to him. You see some artist, or actor, or literary man, or odious middle-class person might be there and come between the wind and the morganatic nobility of the youthful Battenberg."

THE young ladies in the American colony in "a an are suffocated with joy when they hear of the arrival of an American man-of-war. The joy Is not occasioned by any feeling of security naturally lent by an imposing ironclad, but by the prospect of having good o,d-fashioned Yankee dance-a pastime that is as unknown in that country as tho Jspanese lahenage is in this.

SCROFULA
I do not believe that

l do not believe thai Ayers Sarsaparilla has an equal as a cure for Scrofulous Hu. mors. It is pleasant to take, gives strength to the body, and pro- duces a more perna- nent result than any medicine I ever used. -E. Haines, North Lindale, Ohio.
