GEN. CROOKS SUCCESSOR.

Ruger VIII he Appointed.
ST PAUL, March 24.-Thc news Of
Mai. Gen. Crooks death fell with pc
culiar force when it reached the head
quarters Of the Department Of Dakota.
Gen. Ruger was warm personal
friend of his superior officer. and Adjt.
Gen. Barber served in the same capaci-
ty under Gen. Crook for many years un-
I'll he learned to love him.
1t is believed in army circles here
that Gen. Thomas II. Ruger will sue
cecd to the vacant Major Gcneralship,
although Gen. Miles is next in line of
promotion. Gen. Miles is brothcr-in-
law of Don Cameron. and a nephew by
marriage of Gen. Shcman, but it is not
believed he will secure the plum. Gen.
Stanley. who comes next, will probably
not be recommended by Gen. SchOiield,
from the fact that he and Schoiield
have had long standing quarrel; but
the fact that President Harrison COM
manded brigade in Stanlcy'S division
is believed to be powerful factor in
his favor.

front OF the altar rails, which led down
to pipes which heated the building. In
his agitation Of putting the ring upon
the finger of his bride the unfortunate
bridegroom let it 60, and it rolled down
the grating. The ring, however, could
not be found. The clerk descended and
hunted for some time. The poor bride
shed copious tears, and the bridegroom
calamity stanched them as we'll as ne
could with large red-and-green hand
kerchief, murmuring soothingly:
"There, don't'es cry-don't'ee cry" in
the endearing tone which is'often used
to baby. We are sure we sympathized,
but our sympathy was hardly sufficient
to control our risible propensities. A
ring had to be borrowed from one of the
officials, and the brides tears were dried
at last.-Chambers Journal.

Agriculture in England.

Hon. N. j. Colman, Secretary of
Agriculture under President Cleveland,
has had published some very interest.
ing observations about his recent trip
through England, as an agricultural
representative on Scripp's league, The
picture he draws of the condition OF
agriculture in England is far from a
bright one The farmers there are not
land owners. They must pay rent Of
from three to five dollars per acre, aud
when near cities from twenty-five to
fifty dollars per acre. In addition to
the rent they must pay taxes for vari-
Gus purposes, one-tenth Of what is raised
going to the support of the established
church. On account Of cheap ocean
transportation they are unable to COM
pete in the production of breadstvffs
with other nations. In short, farming
is improbable; times are hard among
them, and they are emigrating in large
numbers to America and the English
colonies. About the only kind of farm.
ing that is now profitable in England
is the raising of mutton sheep. Meat
is high and the pasturage Of that coun
try, owing to its climate, is unexcelied
But already the farmers there are com
planning loudly against the importation
of American meats, as we'll as bread
stuffs.-Farm and Fireside.
