The Crops.

During the last two weeks our farmers have
worked with great energy, and as rule the
crops are now in good condition. The warm
nights of last week has been quite favorable
to the cotton crop.
The seasons have been favorable TO the
growth OF grass, and those OF our farmers who
have provided themselves with pasture
fences. will find their stock to be unusually
profitable this year. The fact is that the con-
yerts to the protiIableness of pastures increas-
es with each succeeding year, and it is fair to
presume that 1t will not be many years until
large part Of the lands of many farms Will
be surrendered to the paSturage OF stock.
low lands are more profitable rs pastures
than for cultivation.

The Postmaster General Of the United

Of 1891, SO. The principal items and
amounts OF increase are as follows:
Mail depredatIons and Postoffice Inspec-
tors, 500, 900; compensation TO Presidential
POstmasters, $500, 900; compensation to clerks
in Presidential Postoffices, $500, 900; rent

bags and mailbag catchers, the estimates
are 100000 less than the appropriation for
the present year, and the item of locks and

said, are occasioned by the systematic repair
of all defective pouches and bags, and by the
bringing into use of locks which have accu-
mulated in the various postffices through
out the country.
The revenues of the department for the
fiscal year ending June So 1890, are esti-
