How Agriculture is Handicap.
m8s ped.

Baltimore Sun.
/ It will probably be surprise to
our farmers, tobacco and cotton
planters and the raisers of hogs and
beef cattle, to learn that seventy
three per cent. of all the exports
that constitute the basis of our ex-
changes with foreign countries are
derived from agriculture. The of
fetal reports for 1888 show that the
total value of all exports of domes-
tic merchandise was $685., 1867, 1O4.
OF this aggregation of exports the
value of the agricultural exports of
all kinds amounted to $500, $40, 900,
while the total amount of our man
ufactured products exported was
but S1O3, 022, 01S. The backbone,
therefore, of all our dealings with
foreign countries is our agriculture.
1t is the fate of our farming and
stock-raising population that the
home price of all agricultural como
dities is governed by the price they
bring in foreign markets, and is in
no way benefited by the tariff, where
as the tariff puts an extra price on
all the farmer buys by excluding
competition. The consequence is
that the farmer, the planter, and
the stock-raiser are compelled to
sell at prices fixed for them at
home.

No Use For Receptions.

The social phase of public life which
so many find the chief delight of high
station is not source of pleasure to
Senator Coke. He does not feel at
home at balls and receptions. just
prior to the Presidents New Years re-
ception, when it was social event
agitating Washington people, broth
er Senator remarked to the Texan:
"Coke, I suppose you are going to
the reception
well, I don't know" was the reply.
II haven't made up my mind"
"Oh, you ought to CO." urged the
Senator to Coke.
yes said the latter, Il suppose I
ought, but I hate those receptions,
those crowds. I don't find room
enough to get about, and am always in
somebody's way or somebody's in my
way. Now, the last time I was at one
of the big receptions I got off in the
corner where / thought I was out of
the way. Pretty soon along came a
lady dressed in style, with one of those
dresses that's all bottom and no top.
She commenced to bow and smile at
me, and though I didn't know her /
bowed and smiled back. There she
stood bowling and smiling, and then 1
discovered that she was pulling at her
dress that trailed over the floor. I
noticed young fellow standing be-
hind her, and so I reached over and
shaking him by the shoulder said ::
why don't you get offthe lady's dress !?
Well, she looked straight at my feet,
and by George, was standing on her
dress myself. "-Washingtofo Cores

(sreslv,s Opinion.

Chief Of the Signal Service Greedy
does not anticipate o late spring be-
cause the winter, 30 far, has been mild
and open. In letter TO friend he
says: @The significance Of the unus-
ual weather condition for the last Sew
en- months can be explained only with
reference to the abnormal distribution
of atmospheric pressure over the north
ern hemispheres. Under the doctrine
of averages, we could reasonably look
for an open, mild winter, since the last
spring and summer were cooler than
usual, and to counterbalance the de-
ficiency Of temperature in the spring
and summer, there should be an excess
in the winter just now beginning.
This, however, cannot be regarded as
responsible for future prophecies, since
the scientific use of averages can only
refer to very long periods, and cannot
safely be referred to in periods such as
six months or year, in case of tenn
perature or rainfall. ~ Prairie Farmer.

i WILD GOOSE CHASE.


searching rOr Goiu bukfo0 By Hessians IN
the Revolutionary Days.
From time to time gangs Of men,
from two to dozen or more in number,
have passed through Middlesex and
Mercer counties, New Jersey, claiming
to be on all sorts of expeditions. Some
were, they said, taking geographical
survey of that portion of the country
others were searching for pottery clay
or copper; but the majority of them
gave the ready explanation that they
were surveying for railroad. It is
now learned that many of these gangs
of men have been on no such errands,
but that they have been on wild
goose chase after gold said to be bur-
led in the two counties by the Hessian
troops during the revolutionary war.
The railroad scheme has been used re-
peatedly to conceal the real object of
the searchers for this hidden gold, and
as the men would now and then drive
q few stakes in the ground, they sue
ceeded in making the natives believe
their stories Lately the farmers say
these men were seen with lanterns fit
ting over hill and dale, and they are
convinced that the search for gold is
progressing vigorously. None of the
farmers have joined in the search, and
they laugh heartily at the tales of bur-
led Hessian wealth.
Several years ago big discovery OF
gold coins was made at point some
distance from the Raritan river. A
local paper gave very minute account
of the find with description of the
coins and had big Scoop on it's con-
temporaries. Men went to dig for
more gold and there was deal of ex-
citement for time. Then it leaked
out that a reporter on the paper which
had the scoop" had buried the coins
there himself, borrowing them from a
New Brunswick collector, and had then
hired man to dig them up and tell a
consistent tale of his discovery.
