The General Crop Outlook.

The New York World has shown a
fine bit of enterprise in collecting re-
liable reports as TO the condition Of
crops from 700 localities. They show
that the farmers are. getting on very
prosperously as rule. The World
thus summarizes them:
l That the wheat crop will be much
below the average.
That the corn crop will be enor-
nous, and, if weather conditions con-
tinue good, will probably be the largest
ever raised.
That the acreage of oats, barley,
rye and similar grains has increased
and that the crop will be large.
That the hay crop is everywhere
above the average.
That the fruit crop is generally
poor, and in many cases total fail-
ure.
That the general condition Of the
agricultural section lie excellent, the
outlook promising and the farmers
cheerful and hopeful.

A Remarkable Mortgage.

The most remarkable instrument
ever put on the records i'm the United
States was one filed with the register
of Mecklenburg county, North Caro-.
lima, at Charlotte, in July, 1881. 1t
was nothing more nor less than, a
mortgage deed in which one Charles
Didenover, an intelligent but impe-
cunious man, conveyed himself "and
all right and title to himself" to an
other s'to have and to hold forever,
providing always" to secure a debt
he owed the mortgagee. The instru-
ment was duly witnessed, "signed,
sealed and delivered" and put on
record by the register of the said
Mecklenburg county. Didenover was
married man, and according to the
laws of the Tnrpentine State, before
he could deliver "real property" his
wife had to join him in signing the
instrument and acknowledge the same
before notary public or other mugis-
trate. This she did, waving all right,
title and claim 10 said husband to said
mortgagee."
