PLACE AUX DANES.

l The elevated train was crowded i when, with much jostling and jarrfng 1 it drew up at the Fifty-ninth street l station. Two passengers entered, and, after eIbowing and pushing their way | through the crowd at the door, made vain and futile attempts to grasp straps. One was a woman of enormous dimensions, and carrying a heterogen- ecus collection of bundles, which seemed to be popping out from under her arms &it every movement of the car. Her companion was a man, and even larger than she They were both unmistakably Teutonic.
 A young man who was sitting near at hand took pity at the deplorable case of the woman with the bundles, and, despite the angry glances of a number of shop ladies who had been treading on his toes, rose and offered her his seat. Her companion slipped around with amazing agility, and, with q grunt of satisfaction, sank into tha vacant place, and, unfolding a Staats Zeitung, proceeded to make himself comfortable. The young man hesi- tated a moment, and then, tapping the German on the shoulder, said:
 Look here; didn't give that seat tn you.''
 "Hey?"
 'I gave that seat to this lady here"
 This seemed itcl amuse the Teuton very much
 Lady? Ha. Hal Dat ain't no lady, mine young freund. Wy, she is mine vife. New York Commercial Adver- tiser.

 CROPS.
 High desiccating winds, abnormaliy cool weather, freezing temperature i'll sections of high elevation, deficient rainfall, and waning water supply for irrigation purposes, except in a few isolated places, have produced cOndi- tions very unfavorabIe to agricultural and horticultural interests. Reports indicate a total loss of the fruit crops in the elevated sections of the terri tory and in the Upper Gila valley the alfalfa crop has been seriously dam aged, and some wheat reported ruined on account of heavy frosts. In the valley of the Little Colorado tEe wheat and oat crops have also sustained in jury from the cold weather, and with the exception of places, the garden in terests have been blighted or ruined. In the Salt River valley no serious ef- fects from the light frost on the 3rd have besn reported, and whi.'a the early ripening Of fruits has been retarded, no injury has been sustained. Early grain is maturing very slowly, and harvest will be late; late sewn grain is chiefly in nead of irrigation. There is no improvement in the range ana stock interests.
