Kansas has been unusually btesicd
with favorable conditions for a bountiful crop this year. The mild winter and. hea,vy spring
rain have been of incalculable advantage to the farmers, and, from reports obtained from tweittyroue counties in the State, it is evident that the outlook for' winter and spring wheat, corn and grass, and the prospect for the f aimer and stock-raiser generally, was never so flattering as now. In Wisconsin there is a fine prospect for winter wheat. There is a iarge area of it, and with few exception the fields are looking in prime condition. Iu Arkansas, a recent telegram from Little Bock reports, the outlook is favorable to tho largest and best crop in the history of the State. THE CROPS.

Baltimore has been tha scene of a fearful explosion, attended with shocking lots ot life. A large boiler blow np with tcrriiio force in the flour and feed mill of A H. Sibley, in tha western sjction of the city, Tbe force of the explosion shook the earth for blocks around, - The three-story brick building and two small houses in tho noghborhood were shattered. Bricks and timber were blown through the air like chaff, and human beings were burled in every direction. John Addiron, tbo engineer, and Henry Walter, the colored fireman, were torn to pieees, aa not even fragments of their bodies have been fonnd among the waste of ruirs. There were seven persona killed in all, aa follows : - John W. Addison, Harrison Walter, Fi ank Kraemor, Abraham Hahborn (colored), Maria C. Kauff, Georgie Pcntz, Gracie Gray. Andrew OoJper was icrribly scalded about the head, and will probably die. Jamas' Podou had lm skull fractured. Edward Conlahan, Bernard Taylor (a child), Ida Rqsenburg and a number of others werii moie or less iriu.-od. Beside tha above, there are several persons missing. Tho buildings in the rear of tbo factory iq which the explosion occurred were occupied by 'woman of ill-fame, and beneath their rums several Tonus girls perished. - The t-n roof of tha building iu vhich the boilor burst was carried through air over a block of bouses and lauded in the middle of the street A Gorman woman who was in the yard of a honse near the mill, hanging np tome wet clothes, waa burifd beneath tho rear wall of her honse, wbich was blown down, and in stantly killed. Immediately after the explosion lira broke out among the ruins, and sover.tl of too unfortunate beings were either bnruod to dia'Ji or suffocated. A low prosaura of water in the boiler is said to Lave caused the M plosion. Btatmtios of the average number of persons who inhabit a honse in the various cities of Europe give an excellent notion of the distribution of wealth. Among the larger cities of Western Europe, where tho system of family houses is dominant, the average is of course small.

What Bees Accomplish. Good Words. By far the most serious difficulty in the process of honey-collecting by bees arises from tho extremely minute quantity of nectar which each flower yields, and from its being dilute in some cases so poor in saccharine matter that its sweutuesa is not appreciable to the tonerae. The streucrth of the surrary
"tiuid vnriea in different flowers, ar d even
in tho same flower at different times. Consequently the most direct way of estimating the yield of honey is to ascertain, the actual quantity of sugar in each flower. This can easily tie done by Chemical methods. If we take a large number of flowers, wash ont their nectar, and determine the an gar in the solution, wc can calculate from the number of flowers used the average amount of sugar in each flower .with the greatest precision. ' Experiments conducted in this way showed each flower of the fuchsia to contain little more than the tenth part of a grain of sugar. In monkshood the amount was rather less than the tenth part of a grain, while in the everlasting pea it was fonnd to be three-twentieths of a grain for each flower. In smaller flowers the quantity is proportionately less. Thus each flower of the little Americanized water-blink only contains aix-hundiedths of a grain, sad- in those minute flowers wbich grow together in compact masses the amount was still mailer. A raceme, consisting of twenty flowers of the vetch, only yielded five-hundredths ot a grain, or little over one five-hundredth for each floret. One head of common red clover gave a little over one-tenth of a grain (exactly .1221). Now each head of clover contains about, sixty distinct flower tabes, each of which must therefore have a portion of sugar not exceeding the one five-hundredth nart of a- train. Tha tvroboecis of the
bee must consequently be inserted into
five hundred clover tubes before one grain of sugar can be obtained. There are 7,000 grains in a pound, so that for every pound of sugar procured in this way, 3,000,000 flower tubes must be emptied. Honey, however, only contains three-fourths of its weight of dry sugar; so that every pound of honey fs equivalent to more than 2,500,000 clover tubes sucked by bees! This shows what an amazing amount qf labor they must perform. Their industry would appear to be indispensable to their very existence. These amounts also reveal to what on extent the vis it atiion of flowers must go on in tho insect world, and help us to underntand how it is that flower are so dependent on insects for fertilization, so that we can well believe the forms of flowers to have been determined in reference to the intn.ln Intnnanlmn HiAn, i 1 .1 ailn V,
ilCKLO m(U, IW.V, HUH vug colors of the petals may serve to attract insects by wry of advertisement, as
colored bills attract the eyes of busy
men. l aw view of the -use of color and
odor in flowers may seem to smack too
much of trade and commerce, nevertheless it is the view-to which science now gives undivided support. We have been so long accustometl..4o look upon the lioauly of the floral world as if it were exclusively ftir man's gratiQd.ition, that
it is diOicult for us to believe tliat the
delicately perfumed and showy petals of
tho rose or lily should ho pwmonlv in
tended for the benefit of the plant
ppsscssnig them. Hut it must be remembered that each organism lives for
itself, and its own laws, and does not
possess any organ- which is exclusively
for tlie advantages of another.

Society. It vras my fortune to be borhin tty times whioh produced the'gwatesfc-aev Hons in the history of .the wprld, The actions have been' prolonged throughout, my long life. I 'was 'a living witness of . the seven yearn' war, afterwards1 of the separation of, America from EuglaniS, later of tha French KeyolutiQn, and finally of the Napoleonio era, . to. the, , ruin of the ohiefs, and the event which followed. I hive also arrived at conclusions whioh must totally differ from the. opinion which those wh8 are now born will hold, got by the help of books which they will not understand. What the future way hold it ia impossible to predict; but J. do not think we hall very soon enjoy'tranquility.': "It is not given to the world to be moderate to the great to deny in thomsiilvea 'the nsa of their power---to ttie pqpulaoa to be 'satisfied with an humble position while they await the progress of ameliorative action. If' one-could rtlak'e 'humanity perfect 9no might indulge in the fancy of a perfect society. But aa it ia eternally swaying from right to left, one portion must suffer while the other portion is happy. Egotism and envy are two foul demons who eternally torment, and parly struggles will never oease. The most reasonable course is that very one sUonl-1 do his own business that ho -was born, to, and which he has learned and that(h should not prevent others from doing theirs ; that the cobbler should stick to his benoh and the laborer to his plow ; and that the King should know ttie soi-1 ence of government, for that - also is a. business which must be learned, and which must not be simulated when it is not understood.----GoefAe.
A Well-Timed Rebuke. ' I was much amused one evening at the Union Square Theater, at a so cue not down on the bills. Two dappav
young sports, following tho prevailing.

Bennett and the Ileral 1, People would suppose that the young, i
Bennett is wholly dovoted to the task oi pending a royal income in princely fashioQ. upon all sorts of sports, ec
centricities and extravagancies; that he
ia. so deeply engaged in this ambition,
and enenus so ,muoli nf ins time in
Europe or away from New lork, that the Tlerdld is running itself without any management or control on his part.
Yet this is an absolute and entire mistake. -There is no person at the head ui a newspaper iu this country to-day whe exercises a more careful or a stricter
control than Mr. Bennett does over the Herald. Whether he is in Europe or uot ho nracticallv edits and conducts the
Haratd-tA' much as it there -'in the
editorial sanctum. People may think this iuinossiblo, but we happen to kuow of our Own knowledge that this is t.n aQfnnl fuct, and if people knew the amount of Mr. Bennett's private cable bills they would be both enlightened and startled. We also happen to know that not only does Mr. Bennett coutrol the politif.aliand intellectual part of the Herald, but that he has shown the same attention and singular ability in controlling ti business management of the
Herald. It was his owu onrtinal idea.
for; instance, to start the Telearam as a
penny paper, whioh proved; a great euo'cess. It was. his own original idea to reduce the' Herald from fotir to three cents per ooijy afcher a bold step, as that one ceat meant a difference of W.OOO' 4'day'in the Tevcnnes of the
;paper. But it proved a. very wise and
rar-Blghted ide.a, as it leo to an enormous inqrease of jirculation. The truth is that the younger James Gordon Bennett Is a man tat bold original thought and brain, and of the highest order of practical abdity. The mere conception of such ideas an -sending the Livingstone expedition into the heart of Africa, MacGahau to Khiva and the Jeannotte tnitbe4 North Polei or his generous conitibution of 160,000 to the Irish relief fund, clearly show that he is a remarkable man. 'That lie receives little porsonal Credit for the excellent conduct of the Herald a sinply because he has some private eceentrioities, conducts it by wire or-' cable, and at. the same tune Uvea like a priu.ee. In fact, Mr. Bennett has shown a broader and more generous spirit, a keener and juster discernment of the rteeds of the modern press than any man who has ever vielded tha editorial power of a metropoliijtn journal, aad there is a magnificent boldness of conception, a trenchant vigor of exeoution and an apparently illiniitablo enterprise in his management of the Herald whioh makes it a greater per than it ever was before in its history. At the same time its rigorously clean tone, its scrupulous avoidance pf mere scandals and sensations for their own sake and the powerful, graap of the i entire world's affairs which it unceasingly displays give it a higher place in the loftier rankB of the , itewnpapef press published hi the English language tint even the founder of the Herald 'Copld ever have ventured to hope tor,. pyf fott-Pitpatah.
