A Peculiar Child.

A child was born to the family of
William Underwood, near Chatanoo-
ga, Tenn, which is peculiar for it's
malformation. It weighs less than
two pounds, and has head the size of
a goose egg. The hair grows profusely
over the entire forehead, there being
30 line of distinction between the eye
brows and the hair. The arms are no
longer than the index finger of an
adult. These are mere stamps, with
out hands, and terminate in an elon,
cation resembling thumbs, but with
nails. the legs are of the same length,
one foot has only four toes, and the
toes on each foot are connected by a
film, giving the feet the appearance of
web feet. The child has attracted
wide attention. It is now nearly a
week old and has the appearance of
a healthy child, but old ladies predict
it's early death.

It is proper to say that some winter
wheat production is included in the
above, but this as close geographical
al line as can well be drawn between
the winter and spring growth : some
spring gain being produced in States
not included above. Our returns show
an average of 96 for Minnesota, as
compared with 100 last year; for Iowa
SO, for Dakota LIZ, for Nebraska 81,
ard for Wisconsin 1O4- an increase
in Dakota of IL per ceut, in Wiscon-
sln of per cent, and decrease in
Minnesota Of per cent, in Iowa of 3
per cent, and in Nebraska of 9 per
cent. These averages applied to the
relative area of the different States in
dictate general average of 100, or
equal to the area last year. Our view
of the situation is that if the exhibits
as to the stocks Of wheat ia the couR-
try March 1 show anything of value,
it is that the supply is about 50,000,-
600 bushels less than last year. 1t
follows logically toat whatever the
stocks may be, if they are $4,000, 600
bushels smaller than year ago, and
the consumption and exports hence
forward shall be the same as during
the corresponding time last ye ar, the
situation at the opening of the new
crop year will simply be one of So,
600, 600 bushels less than last year
when there was, in wheat and -four,
approximately 1OO.OOO,OOO bushels
more than at the corresponding time

margin for this $4,000, 900 bushels of
difference in supply, and very COM

Transatlantic Steamers.
TROY Times.

There are about 100 steam vessels in
the transatlantic service, most Of
which are rapid sailers, and the Ore
gon was one of the most recent con-
struction. Her name shows that she
was not born Cunarder, and this
leads one TO a brief reference to the
rules observed by different lines. The
Guion ships, for instance, are named
after states and territories in the north
west, including Wisconsin, Nevada,
Arizona, Alaska, and Oregon. The
aforementioned vessel, whose sad fate
awakens so much notice, was purchas-
ed by the Cunard company from the
Guion. TAe white star line prefers
names ending in &C." as the German
tic, the Celtic, and the Britannia. The
Cunard company selects names end
ing in Ga" such as the Scythis, the
Persia, the Servia, and the Aurania,
and the Anchor line pursues the same
practice. The National line very
properly uses the names of nations,
Greece, Spain, and Egypt, while the
Inman line hOnors various distin-
guished cities. such as Chicago and
Berlin. The State line goes for states,
and names Its ships PennSy lvanla,
Nebraska, etc., but the Hamburg line
dips into authors and gives us the
Wieland, the Gellert, and the Lessing,
with other distinguished names. The
French, on the other hand, love wine
more than looks, and hence tbs Bor-
deaux line names its vessels after the
best brands, such as Chateau Leon
Vile and Chateau Laftte. The
Bremen and Hull vessels are named
after birds, and the United States and
Brazil line selects names ending in
''ance," such as the Finance, the Ad-
vance, and the Seliance. The Mon
arch line, or the other hand, deals in
monarchs, and it's list comprises the
Assyrian monarch, the Lydian Mon
archy, the Grecian monarchy, etc.
In this manndr a remarkably degree
uniformity Is presented in the midst
of a wide variety of taste.

LOVEAND DEATH.
EVERY OTHER SATURDAY.

Once walking through a sunny glade,
Love sudden stopped with bated breath
AS Shudderln2, he beheld a shade
The young Immortal knew was Death.
"And wherefore, frora thy realms below,
Dost thou invade my pleasant places,
To blanch red cheeks With joy aglow,
And with the grave mock youthful graces?"
Thus Love, and added, "But for thee,
Thou keeper of the shady portals,
Life were one long feStivity:
Why latest thou these Borrowing mortals?"
Then Death, with gentle voice. replied:
20 thoughtleSs Lowell art not aware
That, should life's pleasant thing abide,
Man would not count them half so fair?'
"What rose that rivals beauty's bloom,
Whose red her fair cheek makes more pale,
But buys new value from my DOOM
A tender love for being frail?
'Dost thou not know that loving arms
Clasp closer, with more passionate breath,
When feeting hours ring their alarms
And lips snatch bliss from waiting Death?
"With how much gentler words men speak
When looms the shadow on their sight!
They dare not blight with tears the cheek
They kiss-perh aps-its last good night
"How knowest thou, o Love, but this,
The bitter drop with which dash
Life's cup, but adds a keener bliss
Thou wouldst destroy with kindness rash?''
Death ceased; and Love looked down awhile:
eyes," said he, these are words of worth;
While eyes can weep and eyes can smile,
Between us we will rule the earth"

accurately as to the area of the spring
crop of wheat for this year, as seeding
has not yet ended. Indications, how
ever, are available, and we have OBJ
tanned estimates from our correspond
ents in all sections of Minnesota,
Iowa, Dakota, Nebraska and Wiscon-
sin, which cover the bulk of the spring

ing Dakota, in the question of spring

During q recent cold snap two colored
men chopped open a beaver house on
a frozen lake near Pine Bluff, Ark.
and when the beavers appeared at the
hole to get air thirty-two of them were
shot. The carcasses were sold at from
fifty cents to a dollar each and the
hides would have yielded a further
profit of about sixty dollars, but for
the fact that still more enterprising

they were being dried.
