The republican senate is in another
bothersome dilemma. The Chinese re-

goes TO the senate. If it passes the
senate that action will be taken as a
criticism of Gen. Harrison, and if it
fails to pass Gen. Harrison's past atti-
tude will be endorsed. The fight in

q stirring message disappearing the resolu.
ton taking from the mayor the power dI-
recting what flags should be displayed up

while the IrI-h-bOrn population amounted
10 l645 per cent, % per cent. of the Board
OF Aldermen were Irish, or more than
one and one-half mes the normal
ratio of representation, and that the same
ratio Of representation prevailed in all the
departments, except the police, where IS. 10
were irish born-nearly double the normal
percentage. THIS, he declared, was at the
tabulated account of national representa-
tions IN offices and in charitable institu-
tions, and then stated that be did not
publish the tables to invoke comment but
declared that under this free government
and bouudless resources, the Irish malcon-
tents should EXHIBIT modest restraint in
claim ng new privileges not now known to
the law and not desired by the more con-
sentative portion of the nationality in
whose favor the exception was demanded.
He advised the Board Of Aldermen to adopt
some measure whereby the vexed question
might be mad, squarely an issue before
the people.

is principally for tariff reform, last even
ing James Russell Lowell one Of the in
vited guests, in the course of his talk said

and on learning the condition of affairs
said: Il thank God that He has left thi~
work for me-" He then put spurs to his
horse and charged the foe. The speaker
thought like him that his hearers should
thank God that the work had becu left foi
them. He had watched the antl-slavery
movement from the beginning and had be-
come convinced that the success of the
abolitionists was largely due to the ms
takes and eXtravaganceS of their or
pouents. He thought the same result
would come TO those who stool foI

young men present reminded him OF the
beautiful story of Lucrctius and the run

CROP REPORT.
report of the Department of Agriculture
on the Crop Prospects.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE April sta
tistical returns to the Department of Ag-
riculture relate TO the condition Of winter
gram and of farm animals. The season
for seeding was long. three months in
some of the Southern States, and the ap
peaIance in winter was uneven, although
the plants were rooted. In the States
affected by summer drought there was slow
termination in soils not well pulverized,
causing thin stands in such areas. Hence
superficial Impression Of condition was
made, which our trained correspondents
saw at once was deceptive and that the
impairment of the status was slight. The
later rains improved the prospect.
In Southern Illinois the soil was in good
filth and full growth generally good.
In the Middle States the seeding season
was moderately favora bic, though IN some
places the soil was dry.
In California, with some exceptions, a
very favorable season for seeding and
termination is reported. Drought in Oregon
delayed plant growth.
Only partial protection was enjoyed in
the Northern belt. The variable tempera-
ture of March seriously injured the plant
in the Central States Of the West, and
some loss from winter killing appears even
in Texas. On the Atlantic coast the winter
injury was very slight. South Of Maryland
temperature was mild and favorable. The
present appearance OF the crop is quite uu-
favorable. As the spring is late and pres
ent growth of late sown comparatively
small favorable spring weather might
make material Improvement The average
of the present condition is S2-lower than u
recent years, excepting only 1888 and 1eS5,
when the averages were 50 and 20 respect
lively.
The averages of the States of principal
production are as follows: New York, 81 /;
Pennsylvania, 80; Ohio, IS; Michigan, 76;
Indiana, IS; Illinois, "A; Missouri 81; Kan
sas, 81. The average OF Texas is S., and OF
most Of the Southern States higher, from
81 in Arkansas to 81 IN Tennessee, though
the area seeded is small in all this region.
The average of rye is much higher,
standing at 80 for the entire breadth.
The condition of farm ANIMALS is COM
paratIvciy good. There has been some dis
ease among horses, and hog cholera has
been somewhat prevalent during the past
year in its usual habit. The estimated
losses from disease and casualties are
averaged as follows, for each go animals:
Horses, IS; cattle %; sheep, 40; swine, IS.

BEAUTIES OF CORAL.
A Manufacturing Jeweier Extols Its Bril-
liancy and Effects.

| liancy and Effects.
81 have often been struck by the al
most complete absence of coral from
the show windows of our jewellers, and
am somewhat at loss to account for
its being so little worn nowadays. j
can not help thinking that if more
coral jewelry were kept in stock by
jewellers it would soon become quite
fashionable, for it is becoming to near
ly every body.
"The brilliancy of coral makes the
skin look whittier by contrast 1t har-
monies beautifully with dark hair,
while its appearance in conjunction
with blonde tresses is very agreeable.
"Some exceedingly beautiful effects
are produced by a combination of coral
and gold. the material being one which
offers the artistic jeweler unlimited
scope for the exercise of his taste and
ability.
1--WE are told that the Empress Jo-
sephine and later the Empress Eugene
were particularly fond of coral orna-
Va. "lilNLi w as
at one time a prominent industry in
| France.
'sThe ladies of Russia and both sexes
among the Oriental nations prefer coral
to many precious stones. The Rus
slams have a prediction for the round
coral. which is, however, the coarser
variety; while the Chinese will have
none but the pink. The nabobs of In
dia decorate the interior of their dwell
ings with large pieces of coral beauti-
fully carved and polished. for which
they often pay enormous prices. Coral
ornaments are also held in high esteem
by the dusky beauties of Africa, who
find that they wonderfully Tighten up
the effect produced by their dark skins.
Like all fashions in gems that of
wearing coral has had many ups and
downs. The taste for it is almost uni
versal, and when it has been in dis
favor in one part of the world it has
generally been the rage somewhere
else. Its now quite long time since
there has been any very pronounced
taste for coral jewelry in this country,
and / therefore shouldn't be surprised
if before long it should become quite
fashionable again. "-JeWelerS' Weekly.
