: Crop Statistics. . The following interesting statistics are taken from a recent report by the Commissioner of Agriculture, on the condition of the crops and the past and present yield and prices of grain, etc., in this countg: - . The cro‘g of corn in 1877 was the largest ever raised in this ' country up to that date, having been 1,842,000,000 bushels, valued at $480,643,000. The crop of 1878 exceeded it in bushels, but the over-production brought the price much lower, and the crop, which was 1.871,000,000 bushels, is' only valued at $436,800.000,% ; The lowest State averages are in Towa and Nebraska, both of which States increased their products very largely, too great for home consumption, and too remote from leading markets; the price bsas fallen to about one-half it was in 1876 The States showing the highest average price are the Gulf States, from Georgia to Texas, where the consumption fully equals the crop, and ‘where the prices are less than those of last ear. ‘The price per bushel, returned Decém%er, 1878, was 31.9; in 1877, 85.8 cents. | " The average priceof wheat for the year 1876 was $1.04 per bushel; for the year 1877, stimulated by war in Europe, the increased crop was worth $1.08; but for the year 1878, an increase of upwards of 50,000,000 bushels, the pricse7 Bhad fallen to 78 cents per bushel on Dec. 1, 1878. ""The crop of 1878, which amounts to 422,000,000 bushels, is worth ‘only $329,000,000; while the crop of 1877, which was 365,000,000 busliels, was worth $39%4,000,000. ; In the case of wheat, the price is greatly influenced by the European demand. For the year ending June 30, 1878, it was found that we exported 92,000,000 bushels of wheat (flour included), about 25 per cent. of our whole crop. ; . . FrxJ'om estimates published by the Board of Trade and the Mark Lane Express, of England, it is estimated that the supply of England will be short 13,000,000 quarters, equal to 107,000,000 bushels, leaving that amount to import. Last year the amount imported was 15,000,000 quarters, or 123,000,000 'bushels. This supply was mainly drawn from the: United States and will: be so this year. From estimates in France, published in the Bulletin des Halles, the wheat crop of 1878 is placed at 82,500,000 hectoliters, or 230,000,000 bushels, being 20,000,000 hectolitérs, or 56,000,000 bushels, less than that of 1877, which was a paor crop. - The amount imported into France in 187778 was 22,000,000; the amount needed this vear “must approximate 70,000,000 bushels. The same bulletin, estimating the sources of supply abroad, says: ‘‘ The utmeost surplus from Russia for export will be 50,000,000 bushels; from Hungary, 17,000,000; and the onlﬁ other source of supply of any importance is the United States.?’ ; The following statement of prices in some of the prominent wheat-growing States since 1874 will fairly illustrate the range of prices in those years: ¥ ' STATES. 1874, 1875, . 1876. 1877, 1878, Ohio ....vv.0..51.04 - $1.09 $ll4 $1.24 $0.86 Michigav....:. 108 116 116 1238 85 Indiana ....... 94 97 102 133 81 Illinois ....... 7 .86 91 98 104 % Wisconsin .... 83 91 1.01 93 67 Minnesota .... 70 86 90 91 51 JOWH: * 5 ileeie D 71 90 87 5) Missouri....... 83 95 89 1.00 67 Kansas.... .... 84 87 86 | 82 59 Nebraska...... 60 64 3. 63 49 _ From returns made in December, 1878, we find the average price of patatoes to be 58.8 cents per bushel. With a crop almost identical with that of 1876, we have a price much lower per bushel, and a total value of §10,000,000 less than that year. With a 01'01!1) some 46,000,000 bushels less than last year the total value does not equal that of the: excessive yield of 1877. The following is a table of pro-i duct, price per bushel, and total value for the lgst four years: ; Price - Year, Product. per bu, . Value, 1875..:.......166.870.000 38.9 $66.019.000 1876. ... ......124.800,000 65.5 83,860,000 1877..........170,092,000 4.8 76,2 9 000 1878..........124 027,000 : 588 78,000,000

Points on the New Pension Act. VERY many ex-soldiers in the Northwest, and, in fact, in all the country, are just now particularly curious as o the amounts of money which they will receive on account of the recently passed and signed Pension-Arrears act, when Congress shall have appropriated the necessary money. The estimates of from $50,000,000 to $150,000.000 made on the total amount which will be needed to meet the requirements of the new law do not interest the pensioners nearly so mueh™ as estimates on what the separate ¢ bits’’ will be when passed over the Pension Agents’ counters into the veterans’ hands. To get at this with at least approximate accuracy requires only that each man now drawing a pension shall look up the date of the time when he succeeded in getting his pension allowed, and . date back grom that time to the day of his discharge from service. This will give him the period for which he has not received any pension, and for which loss the new act especially provides that he shall be compensabe«f at ‘the same allowance per month for-which his pension was originally granted. Multiply the months by the amount of the monthly allowance—whether $24, $l2, $B, 6 or $4, the average sums—and the amount of back pension due will, of course, appear. : ‘ A remarkable feature of the pension business is the fact that thousands of ex-soldiers, with cause for having their names placed on the list of recipients of Government aid, did not apply for pensions for five, ten or fifteen years after the war was Over. This fact accounts for the fear which was expressed by many, during the argument on the Pension-Arrears bill, thal the demand on the Treasury would mount up to a startling figure, and, perhaps, embarrass the Tr.éasuxg a.ntf interfere « with resumption. Added to this, there can be no doubt that very many non-pen-sioned ex-soldiers will ‘at this late day be led to take steps for placing their names on the rolls, the prospect of receiving a handsome purse of arrearsg pension being the motive. The diseases and disabilities traceable to the service will every one now be brought to the attention of the Government Examining Surgeons and Pension Commissioner. ‘Thus, the man who proves his claim to a pension of say sBa month—-—having suffered . injuries in 1864, will, for example, be entitled to fifteen years’ pay — 180 months—which equals $1,440. The 4-a-month men would receive half the foregoing amount, naturally, and those of .other classifications proportionate

The number of pensioners under the control - of the ::gencg at Chicago is about 18,000. f these pensioners, onlj a certain portion will have claims under. the Pension-Arrears 'act. In Minnesota, it is figured out that benefit ‘in this direction will accrue to about 3,000 of her pensioners. Other Northwestern States of approximate size will be likely to averﬁe about the same. The heirs of soldiers will come in for a goodly share of the money which will be appropriated to carry out the new bounty provisions. There is a general provision in the bill that the heirs shall be paid these arrears. Heretofore when

a pensioner had died, no arrears for pensions could be paid except to the widow, if he left.one, and if he left no widow to the children under sixteen years of age. The act p'roviges that if pensioners have died, the persons entitled to the arrears shall receive the same. Still this point is open to disute o : Some time will elapse before the extra business made by the Pension-Ar-rears act can be reached. Just how long a time cannot be conjectured at present, but due publicity will' follow every st.eg to that end. The pensioners will then have simply to write to the Commissioner of Pensions at Washington, and full. instructions will be promptly sent as to procedure, the aim being to do away with the costly interference of pension sharks. Until the appropriation is 'made t(?' Congress there can be nothing gained in burdening Pension Agents and newspapers with inquiries as to personal cases, and when the appropriation is provided the only sure test of one’s claim will be its presentation in the form of an application made directly to the Commissioner of Pensions at Washington.— “Chicago Journal.

The Black Plague. The terror which the apé)eamnce of the Black Plague has caused in Europe might seem to he excessive, were it not that history records many instances "of dreadful ravages wrought b{r a disease similar to this one. The plague in London, in 1665, carried off about 70,000 souls in less than six months; and, though English readers are most familiar with this event, it is not a solitary case. In the same year with the London plague, 40,000 died in Neapolitan Territory. In the fourteenth ceéntury, during the reign of Edward 111., there was a plague much more general and destructive than the orre of 1665. This plague was supposed to have had itsoriginin the Far Cathay in 1333, though that region was then so remote .that little could have been known about it. But at least it was certain that the plague came by way of Constantinople, Florence, Vienna and Paris to London. It was estimated that 60,000 died in Florence alone, 100,000 in Venice, 50,000 in Paris, 60,000 in Avignon and 100,000 in London. The pla%]ue was known still further back. The beginnings of authentic history contain references to it. One thousand years before Christ 70,000 persons died of it in a single year in Palestine. Rome lost half its population by the pla%ue in 542 B. C., and 10,000 a hundred years later. It 1s said that the plaguie spread over the whole known world in the third century, and in the eleventh -century one-half the known population was swept away by it. There is a very recent instance of its appearance in Russia previous to the present epidemic. It destroyed 40,000 people at Resth, on the Caspian Sea, in 1832, and it almost annihilated the Russian army which crossed the Balkans.in 1828-29:

A remarkable feature of the present plague, and one that makes it all the more alarming, is its rapid spread in spite of cold. The germ-theory, in accordance with which most épidexics are now explained, assumes that a ‘certain moderate temperature is required to keep the germs alive, and that excessive cold kills them. Yellow fever, for instance, has never spread as an epidemic in cold countries, and thefirst severe frost kills the germs in warm, countries. But this plague is spread-. ing in midwinter in one of the coldest countries in Europe. Itis said to have approached within a few miles of Moscow. The mortality, moreover, is unusually large. Some ref)orts -say as high as 75 per cent. of all persons attacked die. 'This reminds one of the story of the great Indian city, containing nearly 2,000,000 inhabitants, that was blotted out of existence two. or three centuries ago by a visitation of an epidemic similar in its character to the Black Plague.

There is occasion for all the alarm that is felt in Europe in view of this dreadful visitation. Quarantine regulations have already been established by Turkey, Italy, Austria and Germany; and the other Nations of Europe will unquestivmably protect themselves in the same ‘manner. The usefulness of quarantine is no longer disputed by scientific men. No longer ago than last summer it saved Ggalvest.on and Mobile from yellow fever, though both cities had previously suffered much from it, and were suppdsed to be peculiarly subject to its inﬂuexces. It is probable that a rigid guarantine may stop, or at least limit to a comparatively small territory, the spread of this other and more dreadful pestilence. But it will not do for the authorities of our own country to take anything for granted. Th_ou%h there is little apparent danger of the p]afue reaching us, owing to our limited commercial intercourse with the infected region, the most rigid serutiny should be exercised over all vessels coming from Black-Sea ports, and particularly over those which, having suiled before the full extent of the epidemic was known, may innocently carry the germs of the disease in their cargoes. If the Black Plague should once be introduced into this country, if mi%lht make ravages in comparison with which our previous experience of yellow fever, cholera and small-pox would be insignificant; and there would be less excuse for its passage through quarantine since, so ‘far as known, it has ‘never appeared here, and is not natural to our soil or climate.— Chicago Tribune. $ Raisaly

IN the State of New York there are about 6,000 canal boats, and in addition to the adults that float in them in summer and live on board all the year round, there are from 6,000 to 10,000 children, who attend no school except for a portion of the time in the winter season. England has 100,000 people living in this way on canal boats, and in an unhealthful condition. THE French authorities in Algiers pay $lO for every panther or lion that is killed, and about 37} cents for every jackal. Under this system wild animals are rapidly disappearing from the colony. In 1877 rewards were paid on 53 lions, 49 lionesses, 9 cubs, 530 panthers, 45 young panthers, 1,075 hyenas, and 14,784 jackals. Lions and panthers abound most in the woody Province of Constantine; hyenas are most numerous in that of Oran; jackals in that of Algiers.

THE statement of the Bureau of Statistics for the last calendar year, in re%ard to the imports and exports of the ‘United States, submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury by Joseph Nimms, Jr., says: ‘*The excess of exports over imports of merchandise appears to have been as follows: The month ended Dec. 31, 1878, $35,128,527; month ended Dec. 31, 1877, $39,751,122; six months ended Dec. 31, 1878, $148,888,036; six months ended Deec. 31, 1877, $102,159,699; twelve months ended Dec. 31, 1878, $304,542,571; twelve months ended Dec. 31, 1877, $140,056,112. A comparison of the exports and imports of gold and silver coin and bullion shows that for twelve months ended Dec. 31, 1878, the excess of imports was $1,974,173. For the twelve months ended Dec. 31, 1877, the excess of exports was $24,548,352. - ‘

. It appears from the French population table, drawn up from the returns of the census of December, 1876, that the foreigners resident in France numbered 801,700 persons, thus forming 2.17 per cent. of the total population. In 1851 the proportion was 1.06 per cent., and in 1861, 1.33 per cent. Of these 801,700 foreigners, 374,500 were Belgians, 66,5600 Germans, 165,000 Italians, 62,500 Spaniards, 50,000 Swiss, and 30,000 English. The most striking fact shown by the tables is the relatively great number of adults in France, and the small number of children.. Whereas in England children under 15 years of age form about 36 per cent. of the population, and persons of above 15 years 63 - per cent., in France the former number.only 29 per cent., and the latter 71 per cent. The figures are as follows: Under’ 15 years, 10,008,000; from 15 to 60, 22,527,000; and over 60, 4,361,000. As regards the occupations of the French people, 18,968,000, or 53 per cent., are en%aged in agriculture; 9,274,000, or 26 per cent., in manufacturing and similar industries; 3,837,000, or 14 per cent., in trades;-and 1,231,000, or 4 per cent., in liberal professions; 2,150,000 being of no occupation. Of the agricultural population, 10,620,000 cultivate their own property; 5,708,000 are farmers (metayers); and 2,639,000 are laborers and gardeners. Of those engaged in other industries, 3,133,000 are devoted to manufacturing. The number of those enga%fd in the liberal professions, are as follows: Religion, 229,600; police, 567,500; publicinstruction, 222,600; law, 148,900; medicine, 141,800; art and science, 90,600. '

The New Senate, | It is an excusable because a. natural act in the more intelligent Republican journals to- review the result of the recent election of Senators by the several State Legislatures, and to speculate on the immediate future to the party as well as to certain public issues over which the Republicans alone have presumed to have the mastery. After the 4th of March the majority and the legislative responsibility lpass over to the. Democratic side. he universal regret is, that with both branches of the National Legislature Democratic, the Executive Department of the Government should still remain in Republican hands, a regret which is all the more reasonable because the Executive will be impotent for ever%thing but obstruction and scheming. But time must be trusted toright that, as ithasalready righted so many other thixégs. To name among the Democratic. Senators newly chosen such men as Gordon of Georgia. Hampton of South Carolina, Yoorhees of Indiana, Pendleton of Ohio, and ta place them in the Senate beside the tried and true Democrats in that Jbody—the Thurmans, and Bayards, and Ealons, and Kernans, and Lamars—is to tender to the country the fullest eﬁa_qrqnoe of the restoration of dpo tical forces to the administration of the Gov-

ernment which have long been needed and will immediately be felt. The cheap habit of a certain class of Republicans to sneer at both the irtegrity and the intellect of a Democratic domination in the Government will soon give place to more anxious cares about themselves; their boundless self-complacency will be supplanted by the wholesome reflection that the genius of ruin rarely or never becomes the architect of order; and utter defeat and irretrievable demoralization will instruct them in lessons which a false and imposing success has hitherto put it out of their minds to think of except for others than themselves to learn.:

~ There are as yet no Senators elected to the next Senate on the Republican side who can claim a commanding or controlling influence on the grounds; either of character or public experience. Matt Carpenter certainly does’ not fill the trump of forensic fame, nor promise to lead his party. out of the wilderness in which it is fated to be lost. He is bright and erratic, and can be depended on only within the irregular orbit of his individual impulses and ambition. Platt of - Connecticut is respectable, and will be no more. Jones we already know, and. concerning Logan no further questions. need be asked. Morrill of Vermont is reliable in respect to what heis known to be, but cannot go outside of his natural limitations. Even as a minority, the saving element of leadership in opposition is denied the Republicans in the next Senate. It is conceded in advance by one of the most conspicuous organs of the party that, _“‘on the whole, the renewals in_the Senate have not strengthened .the Republicans as a party with reference to the more important duties that are before them.” Nor, in our judgment, could the party be st;réngthenedg in the Senate by any number of elections, for the reason thatitis by nature incapable of handling the issues ahead which require something more for their successful treatment than a war training and a cock a-whoop revelry in irredeemable promises and unparalleled corruption. Because the Republican (farty is passing permanently to the side of the minority, its leaders and spokesmen need not infer that the rest of the country is going to sit down in lugubrious luxury-and make a perpetual feast of idle lamentations. ‘All virtue is not dead because St. Paul is dead. And having, as they fancy, staked off resumption withresolutions and fenced it in with statutes, they: must not be ‘surprised if events combine to upset their arbitrary plans, which were at best committed to the care of events from the beginning. :We can all of us - see clearly enough, in, respect to resumption, that its permanent success depends on the condition of the staple crops and the course of foreign trade, on the accumulations of silver and the ultimate substitution of legal tenders for National Bank notes, beside sundry other things, which, as facts, are liable -in one way or another to develop into causes. There is vastly more margin ‘to be allowed in relation to this whole question than will simply answer the turn of a temporary party shibboleth. And we require in both branches of Congress the best-seasoned and besttrained minds the country can furnish to take up this vital subject and deal with it, first in strict obedience to the. recognized axioms and rules of finance, and secondly in close and unvarying harmony with the flexible wants of a people whose whole life, character and experience ure new, not only to this part of the world but to every other. At all events we have got beyond that point of pure sciolism where a political party, to suit the needs of an election, may declare its purpose and trust to luck afterward forits fulfillment. It is better that the whole matter should be turned over to other hands, to those whose inter®sts in it are public instead of personal. And the new Senate will likewise inaugurate . the return of public administration to the governance of those plain principles which have been lost sight of in the noise and strife of the past seventeen years.— Boston Post.

, Pet Words. It is but a few weeks since we heard of a father writing to his son at school to ask him whether he was so hard worked at school that he had not time to write ¢‘examinations,’” but cut it down to ¢ exams.”” The lad modestly enough answered that the master always spoke of the *‘‘exams,” and so he thought it was the proper word to use. <« Awfully nice’’ is another of the expressions’ which the young reader is warned against. | We fear that nothing can drive awfully, and - terribly, and tremendously, and frightfully back to their proper uses. We were gresent a ‘week or two ago when a fond mother lamented that her ehild would say ¢ awfully jolly.” ¢ It is,”” she. pathetically said, ‘‘so tremendously exaggerated.”” We are surprised, by the way, to find included among these vulgarisms such phrases as ‘¢ currying favor,’’ and ‘they fell out.” To ‘ecurry favor’’ is not, we admit, an expression which we much like. It can, however, as we see by Johnson, plead the authority . of Hooker and L’'Estrange, while ‘¢ to fall out,”’ in the sense of *‘to uarrel,”’ is so good a piece of English ghat it needs no dictionary authority to uphold it, though plenty could be produced.

He would write of a notable -ity, a nc< table visitor and the notable moment of death.
