I "At it again!" muttered Farmer jjj Grant under his breath. "I declare, ? it does beat all! It's a regular hornets' tJ nest! Catch me going in there now!'' n At that instant the noise broke out anew, and the fresh young voiccs ?' sounded almost demoniac in the war ol j? words. Then, alter a alight pause, somethintr spomnrf to fall or to be thrown 0 against the wall with great force, and a ? shrill, feminine voice cned, passionately: "Now, suppose that had struck me!" J1 "Then it would have ended you, l< that's all," was the deep bass reply. " I expect you'll kill mc yet," said the other voice. P " I know I shall. I've been tempted 11 to a thousand times, and if you?" The rest of the sentence was lost, the " speaker seeming to have gone suddenly . into another room, and Farmer Grant turned away. i1 "I tell you what, mother," he said, as A he entered his own home and met his ? comely, smiling wife, "I'm afraid ? there'll be sore trouble up to Uran's some day. Those two children do T quarrel so despritly." " Poor thiDgs,"murmured Mrs. Grant; U1CT IV kV l/V piVlVUt i i ' Well, I don't know as they exactly I are," said the larrner, hanging up his j t, straw hat. " Oh, yes, they are. Just you Chink of their bringing up. Their father and mother were both drunkards, and when they were alive, there was nothing but . violence and wretchedness at home from ^ morning till night. Maddy is so pretty, . too, poor child! And Jed has such a temper. Did you hear what they were ( * quarreling about!" | ? "No; Ijust wanted to get out of the j " way. He said he been tempted to ki !1 j her a thousand times, and I'm dreading | j foul play there some day." | " Shouldn't wonder. If so, it will be ? pre;ty bad for Jed, for the folks round about here hate him. and would like to ?f>r? him shut nn. fnr thp sate of the pom munity. His influence is terrible, but, poor souls, what better could you ex- _ pect?" J Meantime, the quarrel raged fiercely ,1 in the miserable house occupied by Jed Uran and hi? sister. Their parents had been dead three or four years, having left them for a heritage both poverty and disgrace. Jed supported himself by doing odd] jobs for the farmers and whoever would ? mploy him; but his reputation was not tj good, and his temper led him into many ()< difficulties. The cause of this dispute, a portion of : which the farmer had heard, was, in the lv ginning, a trifling one. Maddy served milk to/i few families for Fanner rant, for Sirs. Grant was almost the u only personal friend the poor girl had. r The day before a sudden and terrible jf storm had overtaken Maddy, and Mrs. ! ^ Grant had detained her. in consequence, ^ till near dark, when Frank Grant, the jc farmer's oldest son, had happened to meet her on the road and had gone s( home with her as far as the gate. j g Now Frank and Jed ,were mortal ] ^ enemies. When the latter learned this | p fact on the following day, through ; j( Maddy's irrepressible vanity, that Frank j ^ had walked with Maddy, it roused all ^ the latent hatred of his soul, and he visited bis wrath on his sister in the ^ manner spoken of by the farmer. cj The quarrel had nearly culminated. 0< Maddy stood in the middle of the floor, ^ her eyes spa?klinc, and her face the ^ counterpart of a beautiful furv. return- a ing, with interest, Jed's irritating lan- o< guage. I jr At last Jed kicked with great force a j 0] pail that stood in the doorway, and it! p flew to the opposite side of the wall. |>1 bounding up against the window and ^ crashing some of the lower pantos. d, Maddy returned the angry act by y( hurling a broken case-knife at him; and $ then seeing him run up stairs, she felt \ that she nad made him furious. His ; m pistol was in the room above. For the ( a( first time in her life a mortal fear overtook her. Hastily bolting the door through which he must return, she pulled down j,, % her sleeves, adjusted her dress, snatched 81^ an old sun-bonnet from the wall, caught f np an old tin pail, and promising herself jj, a day in the woods, berry-picking, she j, sprang through the kitchen into a little j,, patch of ground behind the house, and j Qj ran till she had put a mile or two be- ! jf tween herself and the wretched place J j1( that she called home. m Here she picked berries, and san<? o1 fragments of merry songs. If now and p( then a sense of wrong-doing came over I ^ her, she stifled it by harboring evil1 jr thoughts of Jed; but, by-aiul-bye, when ^ she sat down to eat her berries, con- j ^ science awakened, and she was led to ro-1 ^ view her conduct. i ' I needn't 'a' told him," she muttered i ej "and I wouldn't if I hadn't wanted tn i ? make him mad. But what's the use? ;'{( If it hadn't been that, it would 'a' been j somethin' else. Jed and me can't live j u like other brothers and sisters. There ! j aint one mite of love between us, not one | ? mite. I "But then he's good sometimes," she : p added, with a contemplative look at her j stained fingers. " 'Cos, when I was pick,1 he was pretty kind. Yes he was, and 1 j didn't know him. and "struck at him;j but ho didn't mind it. I wonder if it is , d my faults ! "I w.'sh^ didn't git mad so quick," she j ii added, with a sigh. "I'm always j n a-wan ting to fling it back to him." j v Not long after Maddy fell asleep. J h When she awoke the air 'as chill and ! t: the sun was going down. Id some d anxiety she snatched up her pail, still i v only half full of berries, and started for | I home. " | b , But as the twilight came on, with its E lengthening shadows, she lost the path.11 v. Tn what direction to go she did not S know. j o She stood hesitating, troubled with ; \ all mnnner of fears. Ignorant and su- C pcrsutious, sue iremniea at me souna 01, v her own footsteps. Go where she would, ; s she could .see no opening. In her j a ?nxiety and fear she went forward g wildly nnd uncertainly and soonbagan I si to run. Just then her foot caught in ! o (?me n ailing branch or upheaving root! a and .?!if fell with such force as to render ! si Jier ifispnsible. ' tl Wlion consciousness returned she was E lyjtig on the ground, the darkness sur- c rotinding her like a thick wall. The v slightest movement cau?cd her excru- n dating pain in her head. U The poor girl thoueht with regret of m her miserable home and her ~imi4em- fi pered brother. It seemed quite lifcaly b that she would lie thpre, alone and un- fi cared for, and die at last in that horrible F LvW :.4jt - solitude. v V ? Bitter tears ran down her cheeks, b ^ heavy sobs convulsed her frame. Only tl A for one glance of Jed's face! Only for it one toucn of his strong hand! He would not leave her there to perish, cruel as he W had been. ft H. -JtIWWMHi - ... " And oh, many a time, if it hadn't eeD for my wicked tongue," she murmred, " Jed would have stopped quarsling." As for Jed, he did not concern himself bout her sudden departure. Jumping om the window above upon the porch uof, he let himself to the ground, and ^ent off in his usual vagabond fashion, ong after nightfall he came home, ringing with him an unfortunate hicken, whose neck he cut clumsily, nd then cooked the pullet for his super. The feathers he burnt, partly for lei, and partly to get them out of the ray. Supposing that Maddy was at home nd asleep, he threw himself upon hiB ed, and slept till morning; till, in fact, e was wakened by a loud knocking at lie door. It was Farmer Grant who met him, nd who recoiled from the appearance e presented, with a look of unmistakble terror. "For mercy's sake, Jed Uran, what ave you been doing?" he cried. "Nothing," said Jed. "Do you know there's blood on your ands? Whose blood is it, Jed?" asked he farmer, solemnly. Now the bov had stolen the chicken rom Farmer Grant's hen-coop, and the uestion confused him. "I cut myself last night, I suppose, e said, surlily. "Where's your sister?" asked the irmer. " She's always at the house for V\?r aiv onrl nnw it's almost nine.' "She's asleep up stairs/' said Jed, tartled at the lateness of the hour. "Call her, then," said the farmer, ternly. Jed disappeared, and came down resently, "She aint there," he mut;red. "She went out this morning, I appose. She was here ail night," he I dded Fai mer Grant stepped inside. There ras blood on the hearth?blood-stains on le floor. The farmer kept silence, and f 'ent home with a sense of horror upon im, fully conlident that the young fel>w had murdered his sister. As soon as possible news was sent to tie authorities, and Jed was arrestee1, and ut in confinement. The day passed owly, but the little community was iirred to its depths at the enormity of J ip mmi> nrnh.ahlv rnmmitted in thfiir lidst. As the time wore on, and Jed persistd in his innocence,?while the farmer's istimony seemed to redouble his guilt, >r Jed, in his terror, had told more than ne lie,?the peopletbecame excited. The ext day, near nightfall, Jed was taken *om his place of imprisonment by an ngry mob, and preparations were made 3 hang him without the benetit of idee or jury. There was nothing to restrain the opular fury, Jed had made himself oboxious, while Maddy was a pretty girl, rho had won friends, and the authories were miles away. As for Jed he begged and implored for is life, even with tears, protesting that e was innocent. Nobody believed him. 'he words that the farmer had heard, le blood on his hands, his previous bad liaracter, rendered all his prayers for re;ase useless. " Hang him up!" cried excited voices, ed's face was the hue of death, and his mbs refused to support him. *' 1 did not kill her! I am innocent!" e cried, in frenzied words. "Yes, he is innocent!" echoed a voice. He is innocent!" exclaimed a voice 011 le outsideof the cro^wd.and turning they iw Maddy herself, her face pale, her ands outstretched. She had been found but a short disince from the road by a villager who ras going to a neighboring town, and e, having a vehicie, had taken her b:vck ? her home. The neighbors told her f Jed's danger, and, although suffering om pain, she had at once gone to his eseue. Such a cry of joy as went up then from ed and the assembled crowd, suddenly tTested in their terrible work, is seldom card. "Oh, Jed, I'm so glad!" gasped Maddy, nd fainted in his arms. In the wild reaction that followed too luch could not be done for the brother nd sister so wonderfully rescued from eath; and I am glad to add that from lat day there was an improvement in le lives of both.?

A few years ago an American engineer iirccted the attention of tlie Russian ;overnment to the feasibility of conneetng the Caspian and Black seas by a caial, and the important results that1 rould follqw its execution. Russia has lad many matters to occupy her atten-, ion of late, but this project has been uly considered, it appears, for recently I ?r*?*ks have been commenced by M. .j )aniioff, an eminent Russian engineer, y which it is intended to unite the i tlack and Caspian seas by the aid of the )on and Volga rivers. The Caspian' ea is located in a great basin below the cean level, and for ages the great rivers 'olgaand Ural lave deposited in the laspian the soil of the vast regions rhich they drain. Hence the dimenions of the sea have become contracted, nd large areas of what remains are rowing unnavigable. Moreover, the unrounding country is, in consequence f the diminution of the water-space vailable for evaporation, becoming terile, and commerce diminishes. As tie Caspian sea is much lower than the 1 >jacK ana meuiwrraiicnu, uz? wmmuaiation were opened between them, the rater rushing in would eventually nise the Caspian to a level with the Hack sea, and in the former there rould be a magnificent harbor, secure om enemies. Thus, also, there would e opened a direct highway for steamers om Odessa to the northern shore of i 'ersia, greatly to the commercial ad-! antage of Russia. This enterprise will e one of the vast engineering works ot le age, and will require many years for, b completion.?Harper's Bazar.

' A correspondent of the London Echo says that if the land in England was di- J viaed into as small tracts as in France, , 12,200,000 souls would be engaged in its cultivation, judging from the number in France on a like area, instead of 3,000,000, as is the rase of England now. Even a dead dog can be put to a good use, as has been shown in the case of the 5,400 canines that were drowned by the New York city authorities last summer. A shrewd contractor secured and tanned the hides of the dogs, and then sold the dressed skins to glovemakers, who will turn them into dogskin gloves. Tii<> doffi.it of the Zulus and capture ot Cetewayowill open up all Caffre-land to British power and control. Ere the atI tacks on this territory, it extended 600 miles alone: the coast, from the Great , Kei river to Delagoa bay, and included what are now Natal and Zululand. The I new territory, just subjugated, has an I area of about 16,000 square miles, with a population of about 150,000. The climate j is healthy, and a large portion of the country is well watered and suitable for grazing purposes. A correspondent writing to the Chicago Tribune from New Mexico, reports the discovery thereof a new cereal which he calls rice or "Egyptian corn," and which, it is claimed, will grow on the arid desert lands of Western Kansas and Colorado. He planted forty acres where there had not been a drop of rain for eight months, and it germinated and grew, though there was no rain for five weeks thereafter. It grows and thrives where grass or any other green thing is burnt up. Moreover, it is said to be very toothsome and nourishing. The year 1879 will pass into American history as a year of wonderful agricultural prosperity. The cotton crop is larger oy half a million bales than ever before, the tobacco crop 12,000,000 pounds greater; smu me nugut uuu exceeds by some 200,000 hogsheads all previous yields. These are crops which belorg almost exclusively to the southern half of the republic. In behalf of the Northern States the excess of products j this year over the crops of any previous ! year is, according to the Chicago Journal of Commerce, 20,000,000 bushels of wheat and from 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels of corn. The hog crop also is larger this year thpn for a number of years past?if it be not the largest ever raised. Reviewing the reports on the Madras (India) famine submitted by Dr. Cornish, sanitary commissioner of that presidency, the commission has arrived at the following conclusions: First, that the same atmospheric conditions which produce scarcity of food produce also epidemic diseases; secondly, that a lnrge proportion of the mortality of a famine season is due more to epidemic disease than absolutely to want of food, although the dcstructivcncss of an epidemic i9 increased by the fact that people half starving or ill fed are less able to withstand disease; thirdly, that a point in the process of chronic starvation, when nutriment no ionger sustains life, is often reached before people can obtain or will seek relief at a distance from their homes. Some idea of the magnitude of the telegraph business in the United States may be gained from the annual report of the Western Union Telegraph Company, which shows that the company has at present 82,987 miles of line, 211,506 miles of wire, and 8,534 oftices. During the year 25,070, lOfi messages were sent. The capital stock of the company is .<>41,073,410, and of forty and a halt millions of net income in the last thirteen years, a little less than twenty millions have been paid in dividends to stockholders; six and a half millions paid for interest and principle of bonded debt; more than thirteen millions added to the plant, in the construction and purchase of new lines and stocks in other companies and real estate, all of greater value for the nsrs of tb? comoanv than their cost; and three-quarters of"a million remain as surplus in. the treasury. At the recent meeting at MontpeJlier of the French Agricultural Society the majority of the proprietors whose vineyards have been ravaged by the phylloxera were of opinion that they must look to the introduction of vine stocks fpom America as the only means of meeting the trouble they are in. Experiments have proved to the satisfaction of some of the most experienced members of the commission appointed to investigate this subject that certain American vines offer a vigorous resistance?more especially in respect to the peculiar formation of tne root, the tissues of which are exceptionally thick? to the dreaded plague. On the other hand, it is apprehended that these vines will only be a succ ess in certain portions of France. The failure in the grape crop is quite as severe as the failure in ordinary agricultural produce in England. The 800,000 hectares under vines, which represented in a great degree the wealth ot the department of Herault, are pone. Fortunately, Frenchmen are not in fat years unmindful that lean may follow, or the condition of things would be very serious indeed. In 1867 France had a very bad harvest, and when bakers' bread rose at Angou-j ieme to fifty centimes the Kilogramme, several leading townsmen organized, on a capi'al of $2,400, an economic bakrry, to furnish bread of the best quality and lowest price to all co-operating. About 400 families*, who paid up $1.25 each, immediately joined. The first year the promoters attempted nothing beyond reducing the price of bread, which they sold to subscribers twenty per cent, lower than the bakers. When the hard times were over it became a question j whether the whole scheme should not be dropped, but at the instance of one very energetic coadjutor, it wa3 carried so triumphantly forward that not only lias bread been furnished to the subscribers at less than the bakers' prices, but the $2,400 subscribed in the hard times h.;s been repaid to the gentlemen who benevolently advanced it, and a bakery worth $8,000 has been erected. From a thousand to ehven hundred families now derive from this source their daily supply of the very best bread, instead of paying a higher price for that of inferior quality, or having the trouble and inconvenience of baking at home. The subject of vivisection has not come tromi nrnminontlr hofnro flip Amovinfin tublic, scientific investigators in the United States having been less cruel or more cautions or less enterprising than those of Europe; but in England and Germany heated controversies liave been raging about it, and much strong feeling has been called forth. A convention of the German associations for the preven, tion of cruelty to animals that met several weeks ago in Gotha took up this subject, and after long discussion adopted a series of resolutions and recommendations that not even the stoutest advocate ot vivisection can take just exception ! to. After declaring itself incompetent j to determine whether the dissection of living animals is really essential to the ' ends of science, the convention proceeds to say that, however that may be, it j deeply deplores the wanton cruelties o . which report accuses the vivisectionists, and it calls upon the Federal council anrl j the Reichstag to order an examination of i the question, and if they arrive at the conclusion that vivisection is really in- ! dispensable to scientific investigation, to I ! adopt legislation calculated to keep it I j within proper restrictions and control, ! and to prevent the influence of unneces- J iry torment. ?In particular.it recommends that vivisection shall never be permitted where the dissection of dead ; material will answer; that wherever that does not defeat the purposes of the i experimentation, anaesthetics should be 1 | employed, and that paralyzing agencies j "hould not be allowed as a substitute j fjy anaesthetics except when their effort \ ! is apart of the investigation; that as I | soon as the scientific object of theexperi- ! i ment has been obtained, the animal j ' should forthwith be killed, and not kept, for further use of the same kind unless j in cases where the pain ceases with the | conclusion of the experimentation; that vivisection shall not be permitted as an aid to instruction <5r in illustration of ! lectures where the points in question have previously been investigated and satisfactorily settled, nor for the purpose of gratifying mer ? curiosity. 4 The midnight marauder should not 1ms banished from our dwelling any more quiokly than should a oough or cold of any kind be driven from the system.

A Paris correspondent says: I hare recently been favored with the sight of ane of tho famous jewels in the world? a. stone that has its history and its pedi- g pree, and is celebrated in the annals of ic the trade and in the annals of the noted ki gems of Europe; I have held in ipy hand and admired beneath the rays of the p sunlight the finest sapphire that is di known to exist. This beautifal and a well-nigh priceless stone combines in a singularly perfect degree the leading fc qualifications of size, shape, color ana ii water. In form it is flat oval, being n about two inches long by an inch and a 9 half wide. It is cut slightly encabochon ? on top and into a multitude of small 11 facets beneath. Its hue is perfect, being a warm, lustrous Marie Louise blue, not ? so dark as to show black beneath the 1( gaslight, but having all the velvet softness and purity oftint that is required p in a really fine gem of this description. * Its weight is three hundred karats, and 5 it belongs to a noble and wealthy Russian family in whose possession it has been for the past two centuries, and it d has been placed by its owner in the hands * of one of the great diamond merchants p of Paris for safe keeping. One of the / Rothschild family has offered for it no ? less than $300,000, but the offer has been s i?efused. I asked the courteous eentle- i man in whose care it has been left as to c the actual value of the stone. He told b me that, being, as it was, perfectly 1 unique, no precise value could be set a upon it, but that he was inclined to esti- " mate it at some $400,000. He also show T ed me a string of enormous graduated q pearls of extreme purity and fineness (the E center one was as large as a small cherry) j, and lie told me that the necklace belong- b ing to the noble Russian was composed o of six similar striDgs of equal beauty and u exceptional size. The great sapphire o was mounted to be worn as a brooch, n being surmounted with large diamonds of some twenty karats each. Ita guar- "5 dian informed me that the pendant be- 1< longing to this brooch was composed of a F large pear-shaped sapphire weighing T sixty kurats, and set in diamonds. The jj whole eollcction of jewels belonging to * this one family is worth over $2,000,000. "There is no such sapphire as that largest , one," continued my informant, "even among the crown jewels of Russia. I .j furnished myself two verv fine ones to ? the empress, each weighing sixty karats, but they do not compare with this mag- j, nificent gem." The gentleman who B spoke was well qualified to give an opinion, as he is one of the few great dia- t mond merchants of the world, and is, t, moreover, a noted expert He it is who j was recently sent for by the Russian s government to go to St. Petersburg to g make a full estimate of the value of the crown jewels, and he furnishes what- i ATTAt* Avtiomonfc in r\rnn?r?na ofnwnc orn 1 u T ti U1 UUiUVUW A * * vw V UU UWiiW Ml V U purchased by the members of the impe- r rial family- * ? ? - c Why His Hair Tnrned "White. Among the excited crowd that be j sieged tne office of the Helena (Mon- t tana) Independent for news concerning t the Ute outbreak, there stood a tall, v handsome youth of twenty-three, the strange whiteness of whose hair became n at once a matter of comment. This r young man was John Lacfarr, who not t long ago hired himself as a ranchman e with Charles D. Hard, three miles out S of Helena. LaofaiT was importuned by 1 an Independent reporter to tell" the story ? of his gray top-knot." He, at the age * of nineteen years, was one of the seven V packers who left Fort Lincoln to ride 1 with General Custer along the Big Horn. When the fight of that bright but dis- " astrous summer morning opened, Lae- -J farr, with liis companions, happened to n be three miles away from the command. , In a few moments after the sound of j( the combat reached him, a band of ' * Sioux sprang from the grass within a a few feet of tliem. Laefarr noosed a roop, p placed it in the mouth of the nearest o horse, and leaping upon the animal's r back, plunged his spurs into the flanks. 1 As he hugged his'horse he saw his six ? companions go down, one after the 1 other. One bullet out of the hundred ? that followed him tore through his t neck, another cut a deep furrow across s his cheek, a third imbedded itself in his 'c thigh, and a fourth killed his horse. a The desperate boy shot an approaching c Indian and ran for a belt of timber a c half-mile distant. Barefooted, weak and 1 faint from loss of blood, lie outran his o pursuers and reached the woods, where 1 he hid for three days. He was at last c found by three friendly Crow Indians 11 and taken by thera to Fort Lincoln, where he told of the massacre.

[' A New York paper says the dangerous, often fatal, habit of drinking absinthe is said to be steadily growing in this country, not among foreigners merely, 1 out among tue native population, a . good many deaths in different parts of n the country, especially in the large a cities, are directly traceable to excessive j, use of absinthe. It is much more peril- / ous, as well as more deleterious, than tl any ordinary kind of liquor. It is more o seductive and treacherous, for at fin'st d there is very little reaction from it; it i] quickens the mental faculties, lends a f< glow to the health and spirits, and 11 seems, to express it mathematically, to * raise man to a higher power. Its en- z croachments are scarcely perceptible. n A regular absinthe drinker soldom per- ? ceives that he is dominated by its bale- c ful influence until it is too late. All of a a sudden he breaks down; his nervous s! system is destroyed; his brain is inop- * erative; his will is paralyzed; he is a mere wreck; there,is no hope of his re s! covery. Victims of intemperance of the * common port frequently reform, but the 1 absinthe drinker, after he has gone to a certain length, very rareiy does or can t< throw off the fatal fascination. The ft more intellectual a man is, the more readily the habit fastens itself upon o him. Some of the most brilliant authors t< and artists of Paris have killed them- * selves with absinthe, and many more are doini: so. Onlv a few vears since S absinthe could not be easily got in this c country, pave in big cities; now it can ? be hart almost < very where, and it is b called for with alarming frequency. ^ d Consumption. - i, There has been, and there still is, such an abundance of consumption In the fi Northwestern States that it is often o thought that those States enjoy some- S thing like a monopoly of the disease. P Unfortunately, it occurs all over the Jl world, although it i? frequently men- 1 tioned as a specific disorder of this v country. It is exceedingly widespread, ^ occurring in all lands and in all climates, warm as well :vs cold. Australia . Canada, Ireland, India, and other coun- " tries have been claimed to be exempt, but the claim is ill-grounded, It has j, been calculated that one-quarter to one- 0 half of the mortality in all large towns * is due directly or indirectly to con- r sumption, and, deducting the deaths in ti infancy, prominent British physicians b have asserted that one-half of the mortality of England comes from tubercu- l lous ailment. Although most common * between the ages of twenty and forty, it * occurs at all periods from babyhood to c old age. It is generally supposed that consumption is slowly but steadily de- i i creasing in consequence of improved j J hygienic conditions, and tlie like; but j a the bulk of medical 'testimony indicates i ? that, on the whole, it has a tendency to ' ? increase, unless great care be taken to j11 r vi a _ i i!.

It is very quick in ite " movements, and is said to be provided, k by way of defcnco, with a sharp, venom- a ous tail, which it brings in contact with * any object which arouses its anger. Of ? this reptile the Fort Bend (Tex.)

Terrified, she fell to the v ground, when it listened itself to her ^ face, and vibrating its deadly stinging d tail compelled the persons who had now I come to the poor girl's assistance to keep o away. The reptile is then stated to a have then made its way, right in the b presence of two or three horror-stricken ? people, into the girl's mouth and rapidly disappeared down her throat.

The census enum' eration will begin June 1,1880, and end on or > before June 30, 1880, and all persons engaged > in agriculture are desired to make notes from , time to time ol the quantities and values of , their several crops gathered, and the number , o 1 acres of land planted, in order that the statements, when made to the enumerators, j may be of the highest possible value. i The forthcoming annual report of the Payi master-General of the Army for the fiscal year - ending June 30, 1879, will say that the rer ceipta of the Department were 815,358,000, ol which amount ?12,700,000 were disbursed, $800,000 have been deposited, and the balance, $1>858,000, is on hand. ?
