April Crop Report.

The April report of the statistician of
the Department of Agriculture makes
the average condition of winter wheat
on the first of April 8l.4 against &c.
last year. 1t was TIA in 1893; Sl.2 in
1899 and $50 for the year of 1891. The
average for rye is 81.
The average of wheat for the princi.
pal States are:
New York 92; Pennsy lvania 90; Ken
lucky SO; Ohio SO; Michigan 80; Kan
sas SO: Nebraska As; California "a.
Generally, the past winter has teen
hard on wheat. The fall of 1894 as
dry one and not favorable in many
States, either to termination or to the
maintenance of the vitality of the
plant.
The spring has also been droughthy
over extensive areas. Much good, how
ever, has been produced by the rains in
the latter part of March, particularly
in the States of Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Iowa. Moderate rains also
fell in Nebraska and South Dakota. 1t
is reported, however, that the South
was so dry and had suffered so long
from drouth that it will require much
heavier rains to produce any perma-
nent effect. Little damage from the
Hessiae fly is reported.

something that will appeal to men of
flesh and blood, struggling with temp

and baffied by theories Of heredity,
swayed toward the material side by the
humiliating experience of their sub.

can be welded to physiological view
OF life. To meet this need, nothing
will suffice but faith in God, and a
living God. A Deity, infallible, re-.

little help to men hesitating whether
to count themselves as beasts that per-

LITERARY NOTES.

In the Review of Reviews for April
the editor discusses recent political
events, especially the doings of the Fif-
ty Third Congress, the appointment of
delegates to an international monetary
conference, the election of United States
Senators by various State Legislatures,
the deadlock in Delaware, the consti.
'tutional event in Utah, the arguments
before the Supreme Court on the con.
stitutionality of the income tax, the
change in the administration the Post
Office Department, and other incidents
of the month under review.
The April Review of Reviews com.
ments on the severity of the winter Just
passed, especially in the Suthern lati-
tudes of our own country and in the
British Isles. The erection of a snow
statue of Washington in New Orleans
late in February and the freezing over
OF the Thames below London Bridge in
the same month are two events which
fully justify the Review in pronounc-
ing the winter of 1895 a most unusual
one for recent years. and rebuff to the
"oldest inhabitant' with his tales of
"old fashioned" cold weather.
The Review of Reviews for April de-
clares that our American postal service
fails to hold its own with European
services, and that the chief cause of
this failure lies in the inability of our
Government to command a high quail
ity of permanent expert managerial
ability. Civil service reform can not
be advanced too rapidly in that depart.
ment, says the Review.
The editor of the Review of Reviews,
in the April number, calls attention
to the recent development of college
oratory. and instances several notable
debates held at different institutions
East and West. AS against certain ex-
treme manifestations OF interest in ath-
letics, the editor cites 1.-THE genuine en-
thusiasm for the study of public ques-
tions, for college journalism, and par
ticularly for competitive debating"
The services of the late Samuel Dana
Horton, perhaps the ablest American
exponent OF international bimetallism,
are briefly recounted in the April
Review of Reviews by Frederick W.
Hollis. Mr.. Horton was born in Ohio
in 1874, was graduated at Harvard in
the same class with Robert T. Lincoln,
afterward studied in Germany, pub
lished several works on monetary
science which won world wide repute.

Public Influence Of American Women.

Women in the United States NAV
within few years find the ballot and
the political sphere added to their pres
sentrange of duties. But whether they
participate directly in politics or not,
1t ought to be perfectly evident that
social and political influences is every.

tion, sympathy and character. Ithap.
pens that American women have more
time to read, think and concern them.
selves about the education of children
and the best welfare of the neighbor-
hood in which they live than American
men; and as an inevitable consequence
thu American women are entering into
constantly increasing exercise of
dominant influence. 1t is altogether
possible that the American women, un
like their sisters in England, may come
to the conclusion that they can accom-.
plish quite as much for the welfare of
society and the salvation of the State,
without the ballot as with it. But, let
US add, it is as certain as anything that
lies in the early future that the rapid
growth of American women in practi-
cal Influence must of necessity put the
whole responsibility in their own hands
for the decision of the question whether
they will or will not choose to exercise
the elective franchise. 1t will come to
be understood that if men alone do the
voting, it will be for the sole reason
that women prefer to have it so. 1t
wilt also be understood that men are
voting In the capacity of those who do
an errand, or exercise a minor trust on
good behavior. Whether the movement
for woman suffrage is gaining or losing,
is difficult to judge. The Lower House
OF the New York Legislature has this
season passed bill authorship the
submission to the voters of an amend
ment striking the word male" out of
the constitution of the State; but it is
not considered probable that the
amendment will actually reach the
stage of submission. The Massach hus.
etts Legislature, on the other and, has
by large majority refused to admit
women to the municipal suffrage. The
Lower House of the Maine Legislature,
however, has given a good majority in
favor of this same proposition.-From

miles below the mouth; on Friday, the
9th of March, 1850, they set off early in
the morning, before sun rise. and pass
ell the mouth of the Clinch river at 8
O'Clock: they came up with the Clinch
river company, and joined and encamp-
ed with them, the evening being rainy.
On Monday, the 9th of March, before
sun rise, they progressed; the morning
was foggy, and many of the fleet much
perplexed to find the way, some rowing
up the river, some down, and some
across. In order to collect them to-
gether, the Adventure went to shore;
by 10 O'Clock they were collected and
went on, and encamped for the night
on the north shore; on Tuesday, the 7th
of March, they commenced the voyage
early in the morning; the wind blew
strongly from south southwest, the river
was wide, and the waves ran high;
some of the smaller craft were in dan
ger, they therefore came on shore at
the upper Chickamauga town, which
was then evacuted, and encamped there
all night. The wife of Ephrairn Pey-
ton was here delivered of child; Pey-
ton himself had gone through the will
derness by the way of Kentucky, with
Capt. James Robertson.
On Wednesday, the 9Th of March,
1880, they proceeded down the river to
an Indian village, which was inhabit-
ed. 1t lay on the south side of the river.
The Indians invited the crews 10 come
on shore, and called them brothers,
and showed other signs of friendship.
insomuch that John Donaldson, Jr,, the
son of Col. Donaldson, and John Caffrey,
then on board, took the canoe which
the boat had in tow, and were crossing
over to them, the crew of the boat hav.
ing landed on the opposite side. After
they had proceeded some distance,
half breed of the name Archer Coody,
with several other Indians, jumped into
a canoe, and advised them to return to
the boat, which they did together with
Coody, and several canoes which left
the shore, and followed directly after
them. They appeared to be friendly,
after few presents were distributed
amongst them, with which they seemed
to be well pleased. But ON the other
side were observed a numb Der of Indians,
embarking in their canoes, armed, and
daubed with red and black paint.

replied that, though she usually had
