Review of Maryland Crops

In an interview this week on the crop
prospects in Maryland, Mr.. William B,
Sands, editor of the american Fdrmsr.
said: "There has been great filling off
in the wheat crop, and it was badly in
jured from the long rains. In some quar-
tiers the heads did not fill out, and in 9TH
er localities much Of it was injured in the
shock sprouting and being discolored
thus reducing its value The hay crop
has been greatly damaged by the con
stan. rains. Much of it has been spoiled
and is musry.
at has been q good season for oats, and
they are turning out well, being well fill
ed aud heavy.
Corn is growing rapidly, but lis con-
dition has been much injured by the rains
which prevented the farmers from cul,I-
vating 1t. Much Of it is interfered with
by the growth of weeds and grass, which
the farmers could not keep down, owing
to the continued rain.
There is no systematic estimate OF
crops in Maryland and so We have 40 take
il from individuals; but from all the in-
formation at our command there Ii yery
little that is really encouraging.
Trucking crops have been generally
pretty good, but the very law prices have
made them yield but little profit 20 the
growers. For instaLce, few weeks 20
cabbage sold at ninety cents hundred
for good heads, and it hardly paid 10
haul them, and certainly not TO raise
them"

A Voice From The Grave.

Editor kaufman, of tue Chester Valley
Union, published at Coatesville county,
Pennsylvania, and w. w. Potts, manager
of one of the granite quarries at Falls OF
French Creek, vouch for the truth of one
of the strangest stories on record. Briefly
it is as follows: Recently skeleton was
found at French Creek in cave, dis
covered while quarrying tor granite
Alongside of it Mr. Potts found :. bottle
He took it home and opening it found IN
side manuscript faded yellow with aye
The manuscript, which is dated February
20, 177S, is signed Arthur Carrington,' "
OF Richmond, Va. According to the let
ter he was with Wushinuton's army at
Valley Forge, and while on foraging
expedition near French Creek was pur-
sued by a British force He took refuge
in the cave, and while there the entrance
was blocked by large rock which fell
from above. The writer says that be spent
many agonizing days in the cave. Be
lieving that he would perish he decided
to write the missive.
The latter is addressed to "Nirginia
Randolph" his betrothed, and Is very
pathetic in tone, referring to his deep love
for her, and expressing the hope that she
may be informed as to his fate. Nr. Potts
says that he wrote to fiiend in Rich
moud who made inquiry among the Old
families of that city. This friend copied
the inscription of tombstone in one OF
the private family burial grounds OF
Richmond. 1t is as follows:
"Died of broken heart on the first OF
March, 1880, Virginia Randolph, aged 2l
years and days. Faithful unto death.
MIR. Potts says that the crumblipg
skeleton will be removed to Richmond He
claims that he has the letter. and Editor
Kaufman gives it his strong editorial in
dorsemeut. The quarry workmen also
substantiate it.

The Roman Catholic Prayer Book au-
thorized by the Third Plenary Council of
Baltimore, which met in the Cathedral IN
November, 1884, has been completed and
placed in the hands OF John Murphy &
Co, the Catholic publishers, of Baltimore
1t will be printed and issued by the firm

Being prepared and put forth with the
authority of the Plenary Council, it will
take the place, as the council intended it
to do, of the various Catholic prayer
books which have been in use hitherto.
1t is SO arranged that..the entire service of
the mass for every Sunday in the year can
befollowed by the congregation just as it is
said by the clergyman. Besides the pray
ers, collects and epistles, the book con-
tains selection of many of the favorite
hymns Of the church. 1t was compiled
by Rev. Clarence f. Woodman, and has
the approval of Cardinal G ibbons, the
papal delegate at the council, and Arch
bishop Corrigan, of New York, who had
special supervision Of the work Every
page in proof sheets was sent to every
bishop and archbishop in the
United States, and as issued it will have
the unanimous Endorsement of the hicr-
archy.

The Salt Trust.

in the West, Z .Vos an outline of the plans
of the proposed international salt trust
The association will be organized with
capital of 500, 900, 900 and will be incor-
porated under the laws of New York
There has been Il disastrous war waged
between producers in Michigan and Kan
sas and New York" Mr.. Wheeler said
I've have been shipping salt from Chica-
90 the distributing point, to places in
Kansas, paying 81 per barrel freight and
selling it 1t 81 20. We have also shipped
it East at the same eyorbitan4 rates. The
Kansas aud New York producers have
been sending salt into our territory with
like result After the association is formed
each manufacturing point will be appor-
toned itsown district. The loss on the long
freight haul will be adj usted and prices
will go up 10 cents barrel The associ
alton will begin business on January l
next. Mr.. Burt, the defeated for Governor
OF Michigan, will be the first president

Immigrants Excluded by the Law.

The Secretary OF the Treasury has de-
cided that all immigrants who come to
this country under conditions similar to
those OF the seven English immigrants
who recently arrived at New York per
OLDHAM are prohibited from landing un-
der the provisions of the alien contract
labor law. An investigation OF the case
in question by the Treasury Department
shows that J. w. Wrightson & Co., Of
London. England, have established an
agency tor the encouragement of Immi-
have agents at Rotterdam and at Seguin,
Texas. Persons are induced to immigrate
to this country by promise Of employment
and are furnished with circular letter to
the Texas agent, whose business 1t is to
procure them work and to care for them
until he does. The immigrant is required
to sign an agreement to accept the first
employment offered him by the Texas
agent. Several immigrants holding these
certificates have been prevented from
landing by the collector of customs at
New York, and the British minister at
Washington made formal complaint
against his action. He represented to
the Treasury Department that there was
no contract, either expressed or implied
in the transaction, and that therefore
there was no violation of law. The papers
were referred to the solicitor of the treasu-
rys and he has given an opinion that the
papers which the Immigrants are reeuir-
ed to sign in which they agree to accept
whatever employment is offered them is
contract within the meaning of the law
and Secretary Window acted in accord
with this oDiniOn

oysters Not Injured by Freshets

The impression having gene abroad
that the oysters in Chesapeake bay bad
been injured by the recent freshe's, Com
mander j. II. Plowman, OF the oyster navy
Monday made an inspection OF various
oyster beds. The State steamer Governor
McLane, Capt. Turner, left Annapolis
about noon carrying representatives from
the oyster-packing houses in Baltimore
and Annapolis. y dredge was thrown
overheard at swans Point, in Chester
river, and again at lIacket;'s Point Oys-
ters at both places were found to be IN
good condition, especially at Hackeu's
Point, and the opinion Of the packers was
favorable to an excellent yield next sea
son. Capt. Turner says he never saw oys-
ters in better condi lion at this season Of
the year The new growth was not as
prolific at Swan Point as it was near An
napolis. Those taken at Hack-tt's were of
good quality and flavor, and the impress
sion of all was that the supply would be
as great il not greater than last season.

There are good many white republicans
in Winston county, Alabama, but only
two negro voters. One of the latter, how
ever, and that, too, though he can neither
read nor write, has been appointed post
master at Delmar. And yet three months
have not elapsed since Mr.. Harrison an
nounced that he would appoint no man to
office in the South who was not a repre-
sentative of the industry, thrift and IN
telligence of his neighborhood, and whose
was not endorsed by that
class OF his community. Mr.. Harrison
cannot lay the blame on Mr. Clarkson,
the purchaser of the stolen subscription
list of the Voice. and who after making a
statement to Mr., Agnew, told the Presi-
dent he bad not done so, for 80 desirous
is he Of retaining his place that he faint

effect would stop The complained of out
