The Crops and the Weatber.


The sixth weekly crop bulletin for
the week ending May 18th, is as fol-.
lows: Eastern district: Much needed
rains occurred on the 10th and 11th,
but 1t was not very we'll distributed
and in some sections more is needed.
The rain was very beneficial in bring
ing up cotton, and in counties where
tobacco is planted made excellent con-
ditions for transplanting. Corn is re-
ported good by some correspondents,
but generally the stand is bad, and
damage by worm is reported by good
many. Truck is doing we'll, but peas
are not turning out as we'll as expected
in some localities. The tempera-
ture during the latter part
of the week was considerably
below the average and was slightly in
furious to cotton and corn. There
seems to be an increased acreage of
peanuts. Central district: Very bene-
fetal rains occurred in this district.
Transplanting tobacco progresses
finely. Wheat and oats and grasses
are all doing we'll. Wheat is begin
ming to head and cotton is coming up
fairly well. The cool weather of the
past few days however retards growth;
some are blowing corn. The stand of
corn is bad generally, though some
correspondents report good stand.
Western district: The weather has
been quite favorable in this district.
Corn planting is not yet finished in all
sections, though some report corn up.
Transplanting tobacco has begun. The
outlook is good for an excellent wheat
crop, and the prospect for fruit, espe-
cially apples is good. Farmers we'll
up with their work.

which the majority are members. The
practice of sending young Indians to
study in England Is increasing. They
come from all parts of India and include
Mahommedans, Hindoos and Parsees.
The luxury of a European education is
not to be had for nothing, and as mat
ter of course only men Of means can in
dulge in it.
These young fellows are, as rule, ex.
tremely intelligent, with charming man
ners, and they speak English admirably
far better than most European for
eigners who have lived for many years in
England. They study law and medicine
In London; but some go to Cooper's Hill
for the engineering service and others t.

universities, and Edinburgh also, have

LAMBERTvILLE n. j.. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 49, 1892.


The late Mime. Bartholdi was no crdi-
nary person, and on her ninetieth birth
day she looked so full of life and beamed
so with mental vigor and heartiness that
wonder she did not live to hundred.
She was left widow early, and devoted
herself to the education of her sons and
the stewardship of their paternal prop
critics, which under her management
were increased to fortunes Though so
well endowed with the money making
faculty, she was person of a generous
disposition and given to hospitality.
In youth she was reputed the hand
soonest girl in Alsace. AS an old woman
she was more than handsome. The pure
outlines remained, and the fire of the
kindest, quickest and most iaTnbent pair
of eyes imaginable was never quenched
SO long as life remained. The son must
have had her in his head, as he remem-
bered her in her younger days, when he
was sketching the design of the statue
of Liberty Enlightening the World.
1t was her idea that Liberty should not
be en- pate de guimauve, but of grave
and severe aspect. Liberty was the best
of all conditions, she used to say, foi
those who were severe upon themselves,
and the worst for the self indulgent.
One never saw trace of self righteous
harshness in the old lady. She was very
indulgent toward the erring; but that
grace, she said, came with the wide ex-
perience of old age. 1t was source of
enjoyment to her to drive to the Isle OF
Swans, in the Seine. and look at the re-
duced copy which was set up there few
years ago of the famous statue which
now stands at the entrance of New York
harbor. One of her sayings was, ''Do
not repress badness; crowd it out with
good ideas. London Truth.
