ing the five years ended December 81,
1885, the average annual crop was
435, ,0S5,5 bushels. The wheat crop
of 1886 is estimated by the Department
Of Agriculture at Asa, ,25OOOO bushels.
This is the fourth largest crop ever

\ cottage industry has sprung up IN
Celtic Kerry, which needs only to be
known To secure prompt orders from all
civilized lands. The Kerry peasants, like
all the Swiss, have taken to clock making,
and the native ingenuity of the race is
wonderfully displayed in some of the i'm
pruvements they have designed. The most
remarkable IS the eScapement used for the

in the mOOnlighter's household has to the
inexperienced eye the appearance Of a
rather clumsy cottage timepiece of the or
dinary pattern. Ii is always wrong, both

During the performance, whilst LisZt was

the empress and other members Of the
imperial family, this in a sufficiently loud
tone to irritate il no small degree the
nerves of the great master Lszt sud

the general silence, requested the eXecu-
tant to 90 on. List rose from his seat,
and, making profound bow to the en-
peror, said: Sire, when kings speak all
should be silent" The car was quick to
catch a witty sally, felt the sting, and the

which implied a courteous request to

ANeCoOTE OF HORACE GREELEY.
An unpublished Incident Concerning
the Election Returns Of 1854.


The New York Tribune referred the
other day to the small vote by which My
ron H. Clark was elected governor in 1854,
The allusion reminds me of an unpub-
lished incident which occurred in The
Tribune offios during the suspense of get
ting returns Of shat so long doubted elec
ton. Greeley was a careful political stat
istician, and nothing. disgusted and en-
ragged him more than an error in fignres.
He had received returns from certain
western towns, and had partially tabu-
lated them. when he glanced at the 3
O'Clock edition of The Express, then q
Whig paper and saw that evidently the
same figures had been forwarded to that
journal So he ceased his own work and
clipped out The Express table as pub
lished and sent it to the composing room.
Next morning, on looking over The Trib-
une, Mr.. Greeley saw that there was an
important error in the returns. He forgot
that he had chpped the table from The
Express. In great rage he went into the
composing room and wanted To know who
the - had s-s up that matter. Tom
Rocker examined the proofs and found
that part of ii was set by old Maj. MOul-
ton, and the rest by james Bayard, who
had been in the Office more than dozen
years. He charged on Bayard's tripod:

First 'take'-right there. See,"
"Mr Greeley. didn't do that"
You lie! Who did;" was the absurdly
impatient response of Mr.. Greeley.

once assaulted the Culprit: Major, you We

copy, and the moment Mr.. Greeleys eye
fell on the reprint cut from the Express,
