That Despot, the Editor.

The despotism of editors is not so ar
bitrary as it used to be. My memory
does not go back to the fear in which
the quarterly, $50 savage and slaugh-
terly," used to be held. One would
have supposed it took its name from its
quartering as we'll as executing its vic
Tins In my time nobody cared much for
the attacks Of the heavier reviews, partly
perhaps because they were generally be-
lated and did not bear down upon au-
thors until their regulations had been es-
tablished, but the power of the weekly
organs of literature was still considera-
BILE. The then editor of The Athen9um,
Hepworth Dixon, was greatly feared by
the small fry of literature and not
much liked by the large fry.
1t is we'll known that Thackeray had
objections to his daughter becoming an
authoress, from the apprehension of
what Dixon might write of her work. [
remember as young man, when speak
ing rather gushingly of the kindness l
had received from editors in Dickens
presence, he observed with droll look
that he concluded had not yet made
the acquaintance of Hepworth Dixon.
[ had met him, however, at dinner and
had had rather humorous experience
of him.
I was sitting next to great eastern
scholar, who had told me quite as much
as 1 wanted to hear of Assyria and was
still going on, when he was suddenly
interrupted by the host, who, in tone
of conciliatory reproof, observed: ''Pro-
fessor So-and-so, silence if you please.
Mr.. Hepworth Dixon is about to say
something" 1 forget what he said, but
the rout of the Assyrian was complete
and amused me exceedingly. James

Chicken Surgery In Florida.

A marauding hawk made an attack
on Lakeland Ella fowlyard and sue
oeeded in ripping chickens craw en-
tirely from its body, so that it dragged
ON the ground, and also cutting hole
through the craw, so that it would not
hold food. A day Or two afterward the
owner caught it, and one of the ladies
of the family performed surgical opera
ton. The craw was sewed up, the
chicken was soaked in hot water until
the wounded and dry skin was made
elastic again, the craw was restored to
its place, the wound sewed up, and now
that is about the healthiest chicken in
the ward.

Crop Reports.

estimates Of the yield range all the way
from 1900 millions to ], ZOO millions. This
uncertainty affects business prospects
to some extent and an advance of 1
cent the past week has followed receipts
not half those of the same week last
year. Wheat receipts have been 5,677,-
157 bushels, against 4,550,337 bushels
last year, and yet the price advanced u

only 1,158,674 bushels, against 2,1ll,644
bushels last year."
A dispatch from Cincinnati, o., says:
"The Price Current summarizes the
crop conditions for the past week as
follows: The past week has not essen
italy changed corn or wheat features.
The drouth conditions have been moder-
ately modified in portions Of the West,
but autumn seeding is considerably re-
