Telegraphic?Amorican New*.
Washington, April m?An investiga?
tion of the condition of winter wheat by
tho statistical division of tho Department
of Agriculture represents the crop, as a
whole, muoh below that of last year in
April. The Northern belt was generally
protected by a covering of snow, leaving
the roots intact, though the tops might
be brown and lifeless in places. Between
the 36th and 40th parallels of latitude
the protection was lean; uniform, and the
continuous freezings and thawings in
March were destructive in more exposed
situations and injurious, generally, in a
greater or less degree. The injury is
f;reatest in those portions of Indiana, II
inois, Missouri and Kansas in which
drought prevented early- planting and
adequate root development' before the
coining of winter. In the area South of
the 36th parallel wheat is uninjured by
frost and vigorous, oven luxuriant in
some districts. The advantage of drill?
ing over broad-casting is in all sections
unanimously asserted.
In California tho early sown is an as?
sured success; that put in late is less vi?
gorous and-fears are entertained that'
prevailing North winds and absence of
the later rains may greatly reduce the
yield of the less advanced portion of -the
crop. There is an apparent increase, of
about seven per ocnt in the area of win?
ter wheat, amounting in round numbers
to 1,500,000 acres, though that portion of
the winter wheat killed and to be re?
planted in other crops may be equal in
. tho West to the enlargement of the
planted area. This increase is small in
the Middle. States, considerable in Illi?
nois and Missouri and proportionately
largest in the Gulf States and in Kansas,
reaching thirty per cent in the South?
west ^
In view of the retirement of General
Spinner from tho office of Treasurer on

to assess upon' the several national banks
the expense of redeeming and assorting
their notes of the National Bank Re?
demption Agency on the 1st of May, in?
stead of the 1st of July, as originally in?
tended. It is stated in tho Treasurer's,
last arinh?J report it has been docided,
upon consultation with the Secretary of
the Treasury, that the expenses for ex?
press charges shall be apportioned in
proportion to the amount of the notes of
each bank redeemed, while the expenses
of assortment' wiR be apportioned in
proportion to the number of notes re?
deemed for each. b/uik. This distinction
is made for the reason that tho express
charges are based upon tho amounts
trap-sported, while the labor and expense
of assortment are in direct proportion to
the nuajd>er'of holes handled. It will
probably be some weeks, after the 1st
proximo beforo the apportionment of the
expenses' will he completed. The average
charge will not exoeed one-quarter of
one per dent upon the amount redeemed
^?fW^iW fto: assessment upon
each bank will vary from the {average,
according to the denominations of its
notes.. If the average denominations are
greater,than the goneral avorago.. tha-ex?

Golden Wonns from the Great Show?
man.?Mr. P. T. Dornum, tho showman,
was inaugurated as Mayor of Bridgeport,
Conn., on the 12th instant, and deli?
vered a short address. Concluding, he
said:
?'It is painful to the industrious and
moral portions of our people to sec so
many loungers about tho streets, and
such n multitude whose highest aspira?
tions aoem to be to waste their time in
idleness or at base ball, billiards, Ac.
No person needs to be unemployed who
is not over-fastidious about the kind of
occupation. There are too many soft
hands (.and heads) waiting for light work
and heavy pay. Better work for half a
loaf than beg or steal a whole one. Mo?
ther earth is always near bv and ready to
respond .to reasonable (frafts on her
never-failing treasury. A patch of pota?
toes raised 'on shares' is preferablo to a
poulticed pate earned in a whiskey scrim?
mage. Some modern Micawbcrs stand
with folded hands waiting for tho panic to
puss, as tin* foolish man waited for the
river to run dry and allow him to walk
over. The soil is the foundation of Ame?
rican prosperity. When multitudes of
our consumers become producers; when
fashion tenches economy, instead of ex?
pending for a gaudy dress what would
comfortably clothe the family; when peo?
ple learn to walk until they can afford to
ride; when the poor man ceases to ex?
pend more for tobacco than for bread;
when those who complain of panic learn
that 'we cannot eat our cake and keep
it;' that a sieve will not hold water; that
we must rely on our own exertions, and
earn before we expend, then will panics
cease and prosperity return. While wc
should by no means unreasonably re?
strict healthy recreation, we should re?
member that 'time is money,' that idle?
ness leads to immoral habits, and that
the peace, prosperity and character of a
city depend in the intelligence, integrity,
industry and frugality of its inhabitants."
How a Woman Found the Heart of
I the President.?There is one family that
will never forget our President, despite
these tendencies of political parties or
partisans. The story we give was fur?
nished us by one who knows its truth,
I and as it has never got into print, we
I narrate it as evincing the fact that Gen.
Grant has got a heart, at all events. The
wife of a defaulting officer called upon
President Grant, last December, to im?
plore the release of her husband from the
Albany penitentiary. She told the Pre?
sident that, crashing as the sorrow was
to herself, she would try to bear it, but
that every morning, without an excep?
tion, since her husband's incarceration,
her four little children had come to her
with the tearful inquiry: "Will dear
papa como home to-day? "This plea of
my children will, I know, ere long drive
mo into insanity. And now," said she,
"my little ones have varied their agoniz?
ing questioning with a pathos that is
maddening, too: 'Won't pa come homo
Christmas?'" "Madam, I will consult
tho Attorney-General, and do whatever I
can for your husband, with his np
proval." "I know that will all be use?
less," said the grief-stricken wife; "his
decision will only be adverse, and I may
as well go home and tell my children at
onco that their papa can't come home,
and give up in despair.' "Wait a mo?
ment," said tho President, and sitting
down, he hastily penned a note to Attor?
ney-General Williams, and nervously
handing it to her, said: "Go and teil
your children that their papa shall come
Christmas!"
The United States Army and Xavy Jour?
nal announces the adoption into the
American service of the. telemeter?an
invention of a well known Belgian of?
ficer. Captain De Boulenge, for measur?
ing distance by the velocity of sound.
Tbe principle on which the telemeter is
Constructed, has long been known and
applied! The advantage offered by the
new instrument, is the exactitude of its
measurements, which, according to the
American paper, would in tho hands of a
trained observer be perfect As it is, the
telemeter is said to be sufficiently correct
in tho hands of most officers, after a little
practice, to give the exact range of on
enemy the moment tho dash and report
of his guns are seen and heard. "The
nso of the telemeter," says the vlrmy and
Navy Journal, "in the hands of every of?
ficer in a long line will tend to encourage
coolness. It will then become an object
to resorve your own fire and provoko
that of the enemy at long rangea, so as
to get the advantage of knowing his dis?
tance and concealing your own. Onco
his range is ascertained, and the sights
'properly elevated, a brisk fire opened
along the whole line will prevent tho
enemy from using his own telemeters to
any useful purpose, from the confusion
of flashes and reports becoming lost in
one another."
There were clergymen who kissed be?
fore Beecher was horn. Said tho Rev.
Sydney Smith: "We are in favor of a oor
| tain amount of shyness when a kiss is
proposed, but it should not be too long;
and when the fair one gives it let it bo

mnoh virtue in a lcisS when well deli?
vered. We have the memory of one we

forty years, and we belfere it will be one
of the last things we shall think of when

rfrTTNO Golo ton Silver.?Steps
Are being taken by several of the States
I and kingdoms of-Europo to effect an ex?
tensive substitution of gold for silver in
I current use as a circulating medium.
I There has been recently issued in Ger?
many 1,114,000,000 marks in gold coin,
and a still greater amount is to be put in
I circulation. A mark is equivalent tu I
about 24 cents. Belgium is putting out
gold coin at the rate of 50,000,000 francs
; annually. In Holland, $130,000,000 gold
I coin is needed, and France imported
j last year 431,001,000 francs worth of gold
more than she exported. Of course, such
movements will materially affect the re?
lative market value of gold and silver in
: the markets of the world.

j crease; that peddlers carry the stuff;
I around in open wagons on the public
i roads and into plantations, and not only
; sell it for money, but trade it off for corn
; and other merchandise. The writer asks
whose business it is to stop it and why
a United States Commissioner or Deputy
Marshal is not sent into the country to
Snt an end to a traffic that is not only
efrauding the Government but bring?
ing desolation into the neighborhood
where it is sold for consumption.
Here is aft int -resting third-term item:
I The Washington correspondent of the
.Springfield Republican writes: "Afriend
j of mine, a Ragacious politician, had a
j long talk with Judge Davis, of tho Su?
preme Court, a day or two since, and in
I the course of tho conversation that clear?
headed man expressed the opinion that
General Grant not only wished 'a third
term,' but that he would get tho nomina?
tion next year from his party. This
shows that it cannot be tho 'mere moon?
shine' of some of the Bepublican papers,
for Judge Davis is a keen observer, and
this is his deliberate judgment"
Toss or SilveeCoin.?During a single
day last week eight-and-a-half tons of
fine silver bnrs were shipped b? Phila
j delphia from tho new assay office. The
quantity stated in tons sounds enormous,
but when tho value is given at only
$300,000, the fact seems scarcoly worthy
of remark. A ton of standard* gold is
worth $542,000, but of silver the trifling
sum of $35,000. It is surmised that the
design is to use this silver in tho re?
demption of the ten cent fractional cur?
rency, as tho first step toward specie
fayment, when tho condition of the
ederul treasury warrants.
The Intendant and Wardens of Dar?
lington for the ensuing year were choson
on Monday, the 19th inst There was no
