dSecial Correspondence at Gazette ana journal
PARIa, Aug. 12.-Our journey thus
far has been exceedingly pleasant.
All the farmers from Glasgow to Paris
are just now busy harvesting. The
scenery everywhere is very pretty, but
the landscapes of bonnie Scotland exceed
those of other countries through which
we have passed. The stay in Edinburgh
was interesting because Of the many
historic places which we visited.
On our way 10 London brother
minister and | stopped oil at Haxey and
drove over to Epworth, where we
entered the house in which the memoir
able John and Charles Wesley were
born and whore they were taught that
the fear OF the'Lord is the beginning of
wisdom" Also, we visited the church
where their father, the Rev. Samuel
Wesley, preached. Going back to
there spent the night.
After visiting places OF interest we
proceeded the next day to London, busy
London, and joined again our party.
Here we endeavored to see the places of
most interest, too many and great to
mention now. Mr.. AllmonG CIV.
Stewart) and myself called on the Hon.
Thomas +. Bayard, at his office, who
received US kindly and offered to do
whatever he might be able to add to our
enjoyment. He was looking quite well,
seemingly crowded with business, yet
anxious to know how his countrymen
were getting along"
Thence TO Rotterdam, the Dutch city;
thence TO Antwerp, where we visited
the fair, which is by no means to be
compared to the fair at Chicago. Thence
to Brussels, very truthtully called "little
Paris" Here we saw the master paint
ings Of the great Rubens. A party of
us went out TO the battlefield of Water.
loo, where Wellington and Butcher de-
feated the mighty Napoleon. Thence
to Paris, the beautiful, the gay, the
magnificent, the wicked. Here the
stores and saloons have been IN full
force all day. We attended the great
Notrc Dame Cathedral this morning,
took jaunt through the city this after
noon, and this evening, alone, went
on one of the large boulevards and sat
me down in front of large restaurant

saloons were wide open and one-half of
the pavement was filled with tables,
around which were seated hundreds OF
men, women and children, drinking,
smoking, reading and talking. All this.

this, the Lords day! May God deliver
my own beloved and honored country
from such a curse OF shame and misery !

TOMATOES AND corn.
Large Crops in Wicumico County Likely
to Bring in Much Revenue.

to Bring in Much Revenue.
SALISBURY, MD, Aug. 22.-It is esti-
mated that about 1900 acres of tomatoes
are growing in Wicomico county. The
crop will reach about 5000 tons, and
will bring in Il revenue to the growers
OF about $4,000 Several new can
neries have been built iu the county
since last season.
The farmers of Wicomico are jubilant
over their prospects for the best corn
crop for 10 years. The acreage of corn
is heavier here than for many years. The
yield will be something wonderful.
The watermelon crop has brought a
great deal Of money in the county. The
strawberry crop was fair one, and tho
prospects OF the potato crop is said to be
better than for years. Altogether, the
farmers and truckers here look forward
TO better times and will be able to use
more fertilizers on their lands next year
Owing TO the reports that the clover
crop has been failure in the West our
farmers are buying cloyer-hullers and
will save their crop of seed this year.
Many Of the farmers have planted and
are preparing to plant large acreage of
scarlet clover and most Of il will be
planted with view to saving the seed
for market next season. There has
been great improvement in many of
the farms since they have been planting
the scarlet clover and some Of the farmers
have made money this year from selling
the seed.
Captain |. II. White Of the police boat
Nellie jackson, has served notice on the
oystermen OF Wicomicu couaty that he
will not tolerate oystering this year
until they have secured licenses. Here
tofore there has been custom among
the deputy commanders to allow the
oystermen to take oysters for month
before requiring them to license, as
many of them have not got the money
to buy their license until they have sold
some oysters.

Milking Poetry.

There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product OF a
fine frenzy: that the poet or genius
awakes from a sublimated catalepuc
trance to fill page AFTER page win eIlort-
less beattudes. A number OF manu-
script sheets of Longfellow's Excelsior"
which may be found in Harvard should
not only explode this theory but give
hope 90 many a discouraged amateur. As
Longfellow first constructed the first
verse of this poem, II ran:
The shades OF night were falling fast
AS through an Alpine village xassed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded in an unknown tongue
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak. as the only
obvious reason why the Alpine peasants
sung was that they might afford q rhyme
for the youths response in an unknown
tongue a second trial at the verse, how
ever, not only failed TO improve it, but
arranged Ii in such form that II is Diff
cult to believe Longfellow guilty of the
fault The two last lines Of the verse
were made to read:
A youth who bore pearl OF price,
A banner with the strange device
There are not many, even among the
magazine poets of to-day, who would
consent TO refer to a banner as "a pearl
of price" But the poet had by this time
three lines 10 his liking, ana the subsu
tuition OF "a youth who bore mid snow
and ice" completed the verse as 1t had
been read and spoken throughout
the length and breadth of the land. All
OF which goes to show that the genius OF
the poet is in the conception, and that
the production OF the poem, being quite
another matter, lies solely in the direc-
tlon of patient labor.-Boston COrrespOn-
dence Chicago Herald.
