A YEAR OF PLENTY.-Corn leads the
cereals in general importance and promised
abundance of the crop. Spring wheat has
not fully maintained its high promise in
June.
Full estimates of winter wheat cannot
yet he made, but the results of threshing
SO far as known promise larger yield than
was expected early in the season. Cotton
has passed through the season with but lit
tie injury from climatic changes, rust or
insects. Pestursge in the main has been
excellent, and in the states and territories
forming the great pasturage belt excep-
tionally good.
The apple and peach crops are large, es-
pecially in states where scarcity existed
last year. It ID satisfaction to know that
importations of potatoes will not be needed,
every state reporting high average. Hay
is generally satisfactory, clover standing
high in quality. Thsre has been a large
increase in acreage OF oats, aud the crop is
probably the largest ever grown.

we crossed the 1870 degrees of longitude on

and eight days in one week. This fairly
puzzled one of our party, who came to
breakfast in bewildered state of mind,
asking whether TO- day was yesterday or to-
morrow, and declaring that he had certain

EDWIN BOOTH PUzzLED.-Kellar, the
miraculous, tells story on Edwin Booth,
which is quoted by the New York 1r'-
bune.
tsMr. Booth came on the stage one night,
he says, to see me do my trick of picking
up table and swinging it over my head by
simply placing my hand on the top. Inc
table in question had been standing over
the footlights for nearly an hour and it oc-
cured to me that it was just about ready to
fall to pieces, owing to the melting Of the
glue. had previously driven two tacks in
the top, leaving the heads about quarter
of an inch above the board so that the two
slotted rings wore on my fingers could
easily slip over them. That's way have
of picking up tables by animal magnet
ism.
Mr.. Booth was so deeply interested that
I invited him to place his hands above
mine, so that we might lift the table togeth-
er. He agreed at once, and when gave
the word began to raise his slowly. Mine
soon began to follow, fetching the table
with them. When we had lifted it about
ten inches 1 heard an ominous cracking.
Look out, Mr.. Booth, l said, with all the
agitation 1 could muster, you are so full of
magnetism that the table lay be unable to
withstand it. Be care fol lest it should fly
to pieces and hurt you.
The warning had scarcely left my lips
when the glue gave way, and down went
the legs and frame with clatter, leaving
the top sticking to my hands.
By adexterous movement pulled out
the tacks and threw them aw ay, and turn.
ed the slots in the rings between my finger.
so that they could not be seen. Mr.. Bootl
was nightly puzzled. He didn't say much
but could tell by his looks that the bust
ness was entirely beyond him. I dare say
he is still in the dark.

all. Country customers who purchase and pay
cash in the same ratio as the statement on

Flour and sugar simple and alone will not

A finely finished one at that;
There we will live on minor scale,
In style to make the major quail.

IT'S walking in the moonlight,

While eyes are talking love.

More than simple glance.
IT'S lingering in the hallway,

IT'S bearded lips on finger tips,

It's tucking in the carriage.
IT'S asking for call,
IT'S long good nights in tender lights
And that is-no, not all

And one goes home to sleep;
Best joys must end. ira Ia, my friend,

charges OF that paper good. And yet. In spite

SOUTHERN MEN AND THE CABINET.-A

SOUTHERN MEN AND THE CABlNET.-d
dispatch from Washington to the Baltimore
San says: -
SIN considering the best course to pursue
toward the South Gen. Harrison was really
anxious to take member of the cabinet
from the States below the Potomac, and
reluc antly abandoned this purpose because
of his inability to find the man who came
up to his requirements. In the whole tier
of cotton States he did not find one who he
thought would inspire the respect of the
country at large, and at the same time have
the qualifications which would make him a
valuable aid in the effort to place the re-
publican party there on substantial and
enduring basis. He then turned to the
border States, but while he might have
selected several who filled the bill in many
respects, there were other reasons which
prevented his making choice from them,
and he at last fell back on Missouri.
