They had another dance-house row in Wichita or rather over the river in Delano last week, in which powder and balls seem to have figured largely. The Kaglo sa3's: "The dance houses on the west side of the river were again the scene of a terrible and fearfnl onset on Monday night last.

We have heard the versions of the principal actors, as also that of outsiders and the otlicers, with little satisfaction. Suffice it to say that the proprietors of the two dance houses in West Wichita, which stand in close proximity, "Rowdy Joe" and "Red," both being mad from the effects of distilled poison, and armed with revolvers and shot guns, waltzed Into a deadly melee. Rowdy Joe was shot iu the back of the neck with a pistol ball. The wound is not dangerous. Rod was wounded in the arm and hip with buck shot from a shot guu.

The chances are that he will loso the lower part of his arm. A poor dance girl, Annie Franklin, sick at the time, received a shot in the abdomen, which the doctors thiuk must prove fatal.

It every one would act on tuc suggestions a great deal of relief in money mat ters would at once be afforded: It is believed that the financial situation is steadily improving, and it will improve even more rap idly if every one will promptly pay his little bills. However small the amount pay it at once; the party to whom it is due may be waiting for it to enable him to make up tbe requisito amount to pay raucn larger sum.

There is no estimating the good that may re suit from the payment of a single dollar. As often as once in a week every one incurring little debts should overhaul his ac- counts and make especial efforts to pay all, or as many of them as possible. No one should postpone payment from mere indifference. Nothing will so soon and so effectually remedy the difficulties experienced from want of currency as this, and it is a remedy that will cost little of effort and no inconvenience. On the contrary, there will follow the liveliest sat isfaction to all, to those who pay as well as to those who receive.

Reader, look to it in your own case. Suicides as the result of financial troubles are multiplying, which shows bow near many men are to the verge of insanity, or desperation at all times, and how little pressure is required to topple them over into ruin. Men should be made of stronger stuff. San Francisco or rather the at mosphere above it was the scene or a balloon wedding on Saturday rroiessor Lay, au aeronaut, was the groom.

Littlo of a very definite character is known here as yet of what is going on among members in regard) to me organization or the House That combinations are being form ed is known bnt it is too early to trace the ramifications of any of them Terr far.

It Is almost univer sally believed here that Mr. Blaine will be re-elected Speaker, but many expect a rery exciting-prelim lnary struggle, springing from the unusual difficulties which on this occasion will attend the prearrange- mem 01 tne commitue. it is prob ably news to "but few that the elec tion of. Speaker Involves a vast amouutof bargaining in advance; out mis time it includes Questions and arrangements growing ont of the Credit Mobilier investisration. which will prove more perplexing man an me omer diuicuities.

Before the friends of Mr. Blaine. strong and numerous as they are, can make the least progress, they will find it necessary to say definitely how he proposes to treat the four gentlemen who were involved to a greater or less degree la the trans actions with Oakes Ames. Messrs. Dawes.

Garfield. Scofield and Kellcy are strong men in the Mouse, as the country knows, and all have strong friends, on the floor. With the exception of Mr. Kellev. all have been the chairmen, of important committees, and be has been the recognized representative of the protectionists of the country npon the most important committee of the llouso.

There will be a strouir faction. probably led by Beu. Butler, which will urge that these gentlemen be degraded from tneir positions though why Butler, who got his share of the Credit Mobilier spoils cash under the guise of attorney's fees, should suppose himself justified In casting stones at any of the rest, doer not clearly appear to everybody. lhere are a number of gentlemen who will be able to perceive a ne cessity for removing these chair men, in proportion to the chances they suppose they have for stepping into their shoes themselves. I be case Is certainly rich in mater- al for Intrigues and an endless complication of bargainings.

And all who may enter the lists for the (speakership will find themselves sorely beset and perplexed. in tne 11 rat place, these centlemen have bad long experience. Their ability and fitness for the places they bold, or for others as important, are admitted on all sides. Except for their unfortunate experiences of sst winter, no speaker would have it in his mind to do otherwise than assign them important places. But uucier tne circumstances the first question which Mr.

Blaine must meet and answer without evasion "What he intends to do with Dawes, Scofield, Garfield and Kel-iey?" The eases of the first two diner somewhat in general estimation from those of the last two. Tho first were not held to have compromised themselves before the committee in regard to the last there is much difference of opinion, thouzh the evidence against Gen. Garfield must be exceedingly weak when Senator Thurman announces on the stump that it does not compromise him, and the New York world endorses this opinion In the midst of a political campaign. There are many who say that Mr. Blaine would not be Instilled, under the circumstrnces, in touching either Dawes or Scofield.

But, if he does not, can he or his friends make it appear that there is distinction enough in the cases to warrant mm disturbing the others Probably the question which will have precedence will le whether he an bo elected at all in case bo re moves these gentlemen. The chan ces are that he can not. Each one of them has a strong circle of frieuds. All will stand together in such an emergency as the present, and they will probably be quite fwiiT 1 1 to rirtl1 tlio rtaln.A of power as'between Mr. Blaine and any other candidate.

The remark has often been made that no matter bow severe Mr. Blaine might find the contest oyer the bpeakershlp, his real trouole would not begin until after tho elec tion, when the question of arranging the committees would arise. iiut, beyond doubt, he will be oblig ed to meet this question, so far as relates to the four gentlemen nam ed, before any ballot is had. Neither these membes nor their friends will consent to vote for Mr. Blaine nntil a full understanding is reached.

And, as has been remarked, the impression here is strong that a failure to give a promise mat he ill not disturb them, or a decision that he feels so compelled to do it, will greatly reduce his chances, if uot-destroy them utterly. Ou the other band, the moment It becomes known that he has agreed to overlook the Credit Mobilier investigation altogether in making op his committees, then the forces of those who waut these places, and of thoso who for any cause desire the displacement of any of these gentle men, win begin to combine. This party will be under the lead of Gen. Butler, or at any rate he will assume to bo the head of It. It will be a miscellaneous collection.

and whether it can be united npou any one candidate against Mr. Wane is quito doubtrul. indeed, there are mauy who think that even Butler could be induced to forget his hostility to Mr. Dawes, if there appeared to be a certainty of ob taining, say the chairmanship of the Judiciary, and a side place or so of less importance, but along the line of his well known tastes. Probably the most formidable csndidate who can be brought for ward against Mr.

Blaiuo is Mr. Wheoler, of New York. He is a good parlimentarian, a man of dignity and firmness, and equal to the task of mauaging the House, and holding it steadily at work. True, there is uo lack of these qualities in air. liiaine but a new candidate must have them in a marked degree to make mnch of a show in tho held.

Personily, Mr. Wheeler is said to bo quite reluotant to nave bis name used but a number or nis frieuds are insisting that be must yield his opposition. His objections are of a private character, and known by nis associates to bo altogether hon est. lie win have the same questions to meet and decide in advance as Mr. Blaine.

If the New Nork delegation unite upon him he will certainly be a formidable candi date. Mr. Maynard's friends continne to affirm their belief that he can be elected. Most here continne to donbt it. He is held by all to be honest, experienced in legislation, and in every sense reputable.

He is also well versed in parliamentary practice. lint ne is entirely too slow to answer the purposes of a body always so overwhelmed with work, and it impossible to believe that he could manage the House and, after all, tbis ability to control tho body, and promptly curb all tendencies toward a mob. Is among me indispensable qnaiincations or good Speaker. The Mayuard movement Is based upon two elements. In the first place, his friends believe they can safely depend upon securing the en tlra Southern Republican and that the protectionists or fennsyl vanla will also support him.

But it Is extremely doubtful to many minds whether the Southern vote can be so rallied for Mr. Maynard, simply because he is far too good and pure a man to suit the purposes of the Southern Republicans. As a class they do not worshio inteirritv in pnblie men, and Mr. Maynard in the Speakers chair might be too often in their way. It is also quite doubtful whether a combination of protectionists could in any event snccecd as such in the House.

The question or tariff cannot be as prominent at the open ing or the next Congress as it has been for some years past, and the belief is that it will not play a very important part in the election of Speaker. It is possible that the Credit Mo bllier question may come up in csu ens, and so all candidates for the Speakership be relieved from responsibility by the action then taken. But as the combinations, as wen as ail promises, most precede the caucus, the consideration of the question by that body might not greatly change the result. So far as a conclusion can be ventured upon from the indications here, it is that Mr. Blaine will be re-elected, and that Dawes, Garfield, Schofleld and Kelley will not be called upon to answer further on account of Credit Mobilier.

Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette. THE ABDALLaII ULOOD. The progress of breeding trot ters for the past four or five years has developed a high and increas ing estimate of the blood of Ab- dallah. There have at all times been favorite strains of blood. For a while it seemed as if the popular demand was for the Star and Hambletonian cross: but it has been found that while, the great Messenger family are good everywhere, and in all their crosses, that of Abdallah seems to concen trate in great degree the peculiar excellencies of that most remarka bio family of horses.

All that, is known of Abdallah is, that he was a son of Mambrino, the most distinguished son of imported Messenger. His dam was a noted mare ot Amazonia, who possessed all the characteristics of the Messenger family, and was alleged by some to be a daughter of Messenger; but by a greater number it was claimed that she was by a son of Messenger, but what son we are not informed. Either is quite probable, but neither can be asserted positively. lue parentage thus given, both the certain and the probable, has been fully justified in the success of the Abdallah blood. Its history has been like that of the great family fioia which it has been derived, and differs from it only as the original quality differ ed merely in disphying its highest excellence and greatest renown.

Wherever the Messenger blood ha been crossed on other strains, it -has controlled and given character to the whole, the Messenger swallowing up nil the other families. Thus we have no Diomed, or Sir Archy, or Glencoe, or Margrave or Leviathan family of trotters, although the Messenger family has found some of its most distinguished representatives in each of these noted, families. Such has been the success of the Abdallah blood over all the other crosses, and over collateral branches of Messenger descent. It has given the Ethan Aliens their heaviest shove into popular notice. It has shown its special adaption to calling out the great est excellencies of the Mambrino family.

In an Aberdeen it has re doubled the famed lustre of the Star cross so highly esteemed, and in Huntress, and Messenger Duroc and (ioldsmith Maid, it has shown that its crowning excellence is embodied in itself that it does best of all at home, where there is most of it. Such now appears to be the high esteem in which old Abdallah is held, that crosses of his blood ever so remote are eagerly sought for. So great indeed is the demand for his stock, that any animal now living seems to be worthy of consideration, if it can trace a line of descent from this horse. The owner of perhaps the most distinguished trotting sirejin the State of Kentucky recently said to the writer that his horse was like any other, he could get a poor colt but breeders don't seem to think the same now a day of Abdallah. But among those best acquaint ed with the subject, it is agreed that his best sons were, Roe's Abdallah Chief and Rysdyk's Hambletonian.

The latter has acquired a renown never surpassed by any stallion; but there are many of the most 'intelligent breeders, and some of them staunch friends of Hambletonian, who regard him as second to the Abdallah Chief. We here venture the opinion, that each, in his own place surpassed the other; Hambletonian as the sire of trotters and trotting sires, and Abdallah Chief as the sire of brood mares, aud the great transmitter of the marvelous blood of old Abdallah. We hare a theory that Hamble tonian owes his superiority as a sire to certain qualities which will also distinguish many of his sons, but will not give renown to any of his daughters. The Charles Kent Mare, from old Bellfounder, de rived a coarseness of blood and conformation foreign to the thor oughbred not possessed by old One Eye, her highly-bred Messenger dam. She imported this coarseness of blood and conformation to her son.

The immense and powerful machinery lodged in the hind legs and quarters of Hambletonian, is a far remove from the thoroughbred. From the sire comes the outward conformation and the external characteristics of the colt; from the highly- bred dam comes the bottom, the stamina, the endurance, and magical nerve-power that, combined with the muscular form, gives it speed and carries it to the end of the race. National Live Stock Journal A Cakust Amazon. A corres pondent of the London Times writes from the royalist headquar ters in bpain: A discovery was made a few davs since that a woman was serv ing in the Royalist ranks dressed In soldiers uniform. She was found out in the following manner The priest of the villiage to which she belonged happening to pass tnrongn a town where the regi ment was quartered, and chancing to see her, was struck by the like ness she bore to one of bis parish ioners.

"You must be Andalacia Bravo," he remarked. "No, I am her brother," was the reply. The cure's suspicions were aroused, and, at his suggestion, an inquiry was made, when it was discovered that the youthful soldier had no right to the masculine vestments she wore. Don Carlos, when he was told of the affair, desired that she should be sent as a nurse to the hospital in Durango, and when he visited the establishment present ed the fair Amazon with a military cross of merit. The poor eirl was delighted with decoration, but besought the "King" to allow her to return to the regiment, as she said she was more accustomed to inflicting wonnds than to healing them.

In fact, she so implored to be permitted to serve once more as a soldier that at last Don Carlos, to extricate himself from the difficulty, said, "No, I cannot allow you to join a regiment of men, but when I form a battallion of women, I promise upon my honor that you shall be named the colo nel." "It will never happen," said the girl, and she burst into tears as the "King" left the hospital. A FJLLE5 STAB. The following is from the Kan-sis City Times The recent arrest of a number of poor coal pickers in West Kansas City resulted in the discovery of the identity and the present home of a once very popular actress, who made her debut in, and for a season drove the play-going public of London, wild over her beauty and power of delineation. Mrs. Caroline Whittlesey, or, as she was better known, the "Brigh ton Pearl," appeared on the stage in Drury Lane about twenty years ago, and after a brilliant season of favor and popularity suddenly faded from the London stage, and for several years was lost to the public gaze.

When next she ap peared before the footlights it was as Mrs. Whittlesey in the Theatre Koyal, Hull, Yorkshire. lhese brief outlines of this wo man's remarkable history were given by herself to a neighbor, who has by his kindness and attention to the child of this gifted and eccentric woman, a little girl of thirteen years, who was caught by a railroad watchman a few days in the act of tilling her little basket with coal from the cars of the Missuri Pacific railroad. Mrs. Whittlesey appeared in be half of her and her calm lady-like and pale, careworn face, was all the eloquence required to release tho little girl from the watchman's grasp.

This man, to test the woman's word as to her poverty and destitution, visited her shanty, a rude, unplas-tered hovel in tho bottoms near the railroad track. The contents of the home of this once brilliant woman, is a vivid contrast to her palatial residence, furnished her while the mistress of the late lord Denbigh. A clean but humble bed, a few chairs, a tabic, a number of relics of the stage, such as play bills, portraits, and a sewing machine, comprise all her earthly possessions. Although poor and pinched by poverty this woman preserves all the dignity of a queen Elizabeth, a character she has no doubt filled to perfection some day, long, long ago. She came to Kansas City about five years ago and has lived here since the death of her husband in' 1870, by her own exertions as a seamstress.

She wears on her fin ger a handsome ring with the Den bigh coat of arms engraved there on. cue says when she left the stage in 1853 6he did so to become the wife of Lord Denbigh, with whom she went, as his wife, to Geneva and thence to Florence, where- they lived in retirement several months. Ou his death her claim s- as bis wife were set aside, and having neither money nor friends she abandoned her claims and again returned to the stage, and for several 3-ears was a popular provincial favorite in England, Australia and Canada. While in England in 1860 she married a young Englishman named Whittlesey, with whom she lived many happy years in domes tic quiet. She says she has been compelled to send her child to gather coal, to assist in ekeing out the scanty support won by her needle.

Among the curious mementoes of her early life Mrs. Whittlesey preserves nothing with such care as a folio of play bills giving her "cast in plays for several years in England, Australia and Canada. This lady still retains some trace of that remarkable dash and beau ty which made her the favorite star of the London -stage twenty years ago. ABOUT ST. LOUIS.

At a meeting last week of the St. Louis clearing-house association, it was agreed that the banks of that city should resume currency payments Monday, the 27th inst. In nearly all the other cities, excepting New York, the banks suspended for only a few days, and the continued suspension in St. Louis has injured that city very greatly. But we begin to belive that the bankers are less to blame than the merchants.

The mass of the business men of St. Louis are extremely selfish, and during the panic they have been sending out orders to coun try merchants who owe them, or are doing business with them, tel- gr them to send only currency in payment of their bills or for new orders. We are reliably informed that the general practice in St. Louis bas been, as soon as a merchant received a remittance from his country customers, to go and sell the' currency to some broker at from one to three per cent, premium, and usually these brokers send the money east, or use it in discounting bank paper. A few days since a party in this place sent to St.

Louis a check or draft, and this was returned here' for collection, the instructions being to collect only in exchange on New York. The beauty of this is that New York exchange is worth a premium of from two to three per cent, and if a man wanted such an exchange here he would be compelled to go to St. Louis for it, and yet the St, Louis business man had the hardihood to demand payment in such paper. Such business men do not deserve pity, and if their customers continue to do business with them then they deserve to be fleeced. The city has done everything in its power to drain the country of money, and the price of all pro duce has been forced down, because the money necessary to handle it has been locked up.

How they Tkain Sheef- Dogs in California.

Rev. C. E. Babb, in one of his letters from California. tells of what an old sheph'erd told him about the way they train the famous shepherd dogs in southern California.

He says you may go over the plains and hills there for miles and see thousands of eueen. but not a man to watch them. Around each flock or band of say a thousand shcap are half a dozen dogs of a peculiar breed dogs whose progenitors were imported from tke sheep pastures of the old world. These dogs take the entire care of the sheep, drive them out to'vpastuie in the morning, keep them from straying during the day, and bring them home at night. These dogs have inherited a talent for keeping sheep, but the shepherds do not depend wholly on that.

They cultivate it in this way so at least the old shepherd says: "When a lamb is born it is taken away from the mother sheep before she has seen it, and a pup py put in its place. The sheep suckles the puppy and learns to love it. When the puppy grows old enough to eat meat it is fed in the morning and sent out with the sheep. It stays with them because it is accustomed to be with its mother, but it cannot feed with them. As they get full the dog gets hungry.

At length, impa tient to return where it hopes to get another piece of meat, it begins to tease and worry its mother, and finally starts her toward borne; the other sheep follow, and thus the whole flock is brought in. -If the dog brings the sheep (lome too soon, or comes home without them, he gets no supper, or is punished in some way. Hence he soon learns when to come, and to see to It that none of his charge are aleft behind. These animals are trained by taking advantage of their instincts and appetites." The Manufacture of the New Trade Dollar. We were shown yesterday, at the works of Messrs.

Morgan Orr, No. 1217 Callow- hill street, the coining press just built by. them for the purpose of coining at the San Francisco mint all denominations of silver and gold coinage, but especially the new trade dollar ordered by the department of the mint. This new machine weighs eight een thousnnd pounds, and is made entirely of tho best steel, iron and brass produced in Philadelphia. The steel plate above the coinage stamp is home-made, and equal, if not superior, to the finest English, a fact that speaks well for our Philadelphia steel industry.

The beautiful heavy brass beam was cast seven times over to secure its accuracy and exactness, as well as finish and strength. The large fly-wheel was cast hollow, and loaded with base metal, so as to give additional weight to counter balance the heavy brass beam. The fly-wheel was cast in sections and securely united. In the front of the machine is a finely made brass cylinder to hold the un stamped coins, which, as the wheel revolves, slip down one at a time upon tho sliding bed-pate of iron, with apertures made to receive a single coin; it is then drawn into the machine, the stamp descends, and the new trade dol lar is carried out complete- bv an interior inclined plane. The heavy brass beam referred to of course controls the stamp.

Per feet simplicity characterizes the machine, which is two and a half times beyond the capacity of any other coining machine that the firm ever for the govern ment. It is capable of striking eight twenty dollar gold pieces, equal to per minute, or twenty silver trade dollars in a minute. Philadelphia North American. lax cnlture is now an impor tant industry in the northwest. About 4000 acres were sown this year in Marshall county and in Waterman county, there are 7000 acres against 1000 last year; The plant also does well in western Oregon, Very few of the growers in these localities make any use of the lint the production of seed being their object.

A nan at Trenton who found several thousand dollars oyer two years ago, and has advertised it every day since that time, also gets great credit for his honesty. Any man would have quit looking for the owner long ago; yet tbis Trenton man keeps on advertis ing. But he owns the paper in which it is advertised, and pays at full rates out of tbe money found. After three years more of advertising the whole amount wilt have been absorbed. FARM AND STOCK KOTKS.

To Train a Driving Horse. In teaching a young horse to drive well, do not hurry to see how fast he can trot. Keep each pace clear and distinct from the other that is, in walking, make him walk and do not allow him to trot. While trotting, be equally careful that he keeps steady at his pace, and do not allow him to slacken into a walk the reins, while driving should be kept snug, and when pnshed to the top or nis speed, Keep mm wen in hand, that he may learn to bear upon I he bit so that when going at a high rate of speed can be held at his pace bnt do not allow him to pull too hard, for it is not only unpleasant, but it makes him difficult to manage. National Live Stock Joui-ual.

Dairy Stock. Mr. Young, a noted farmer of Pennsylvania, was asked some questions as to the relative values of the Alderney and the common stock for dairy purposes, and he replied that both in quality and quantity of milk yielded the former is superior. The milk from tho Jersey cow is as rich in quality as the cream from the milk of the common cow, and while the average amount of butter yielded by stock like that owned by Mr. Young will bo ten pounds of butter from each cow, only six or seven pounds are producible from the ordinary cow.

Tbe butter from the Alderney milk, too, is not only far icher in quality, but- it has a firmness' which it relaius through the cold of winter and the heat of summer, when the butter of the ordinary cows is barely marketable. Patent Right Swindles. It is safe to assume that every attempt to sell a territorial patent right is an attempt to swindle. It is possible that the seller may himself bo duped. rnd not intend to swindle; but the act itself is none the less a swindle, for all that, bo true is this, and so apparent is the swindling character ot such transactions, that no taker of a note for such ten'toiial patent-light dare Limnelf sue for it iu the courts.

lie l.nows well' enough that be can jot collect hat he cannot show V8luefbrthe same. But he can sell to I 'ird partee, aud (hey being held in law as innocent par-tics, can and do collect on such notes and so tbey swindle the farmers. So we say to the farmers beware I Wnateveryou pay for such patent-right is just so much money thrown away. You are sure to lose all you invest in it, un less you turn swindler yourself, aud get back by selling to and swindling somebody else. Give the pat ent-right sellers a wide berth.

Keep about your business when tbey come along; and, if they slay to dinner, charge them full price 'for it! Cuttings. This Is a particular good time to make cuttings from pithy, succulent, soft-wooded shrubs, including currants, goose berries, etc. Wilh a sharp knife and a clean, sloping cut, make cut tings eight or leu inches length from eouud. well-iipeuened shoots of Ibis year's growth. Remove all leaves, and disbud all but the two upper buds.

la well-prepared ground make a trench wilh a spade, set the cuttings upright against the ledge side of the trench, hoe the dirt to the cut lings and tramp and pack, the harder the better, and put lose soil over a'l, leaving only the upper bud at ibe surface. Granulation, callousing and slight rooting will ensue tl'is fall, and in the spring rank aud lux riant growth will follow. All kinds of cntliags from hardy shrubs, vines and trees are better made in the fall than spring; but as a rule, it is best to wait, until the faluug of the leaf indicates the l'u'l malnrily of the wood and bud. Clovzk for Seed. Clover will not flourish well on soils that are naturlly damp neither can a beavy crop be expected from soils that are very sandy.

The best soil in all respects is a well-drained clayey loam. To raise clover for seed, it is well to have the land in some well-tended hoed crop the season previous, so as to be sure that it is not weedy. As it should be sown quite eary iaie spiing, it is a good plan laiayeTuorfci-ornu plowed the pre-viothvfallwheb, unless it is quite clayey, it require no preparation but harrowing, before the seed is sow a. The soil should be free from lumps, and of nearly uniform qualitv throughout tbe field, otherwise tue crop will mature unequally. The seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of about twelve pounds per acre.

The covering should be MS'hL and ma generally bo most easily performed by a brash harrow. Poultry Diet. Cayenne pepper, mustard or ginger can, with great benefit, be added to the food of fowls, to increase ibeir vigor, and to stimulate egg production. Tbis apparently artificial diet will be seen to be natural if we remember that wild birds of tbe gallinaceous species get- access to very many highly spiced berrias and buds articles that give the "game flavor" to their flesh. Tbe ordinary food of (he domestic fowl is not, indeed, entirely without some such addition, since there is more or less of an aromatic pal nciple in wheat, Indian corn and in all other grains.

Never theless, it is not sufficient in quantity to supply tke place of stronger spices, a tas'e for which is a part of tbe fowls inherited constitution. A moderate quantity of cayenne, added to the grain, is always productive of health and thrift in poultry. The Poultry World. Agricultural Statistics. At tbe meeting of tbe Executive com mittee of tbe State Grange; in ses sion at Keokuk, Iowa, last week, the Committe on Agricultural Sta tistics made the following report, which was adopted.

Whereas, We ragard complete agricultural statistics the founda lion of onr control of the business of agriculture, bv which we mar obtain suitable and just reward lor our labor, and allow tbe law of sup ply and demand to operate freely in the regulation of prices to the ben efit of both producer aBd consumer therefore.

That the National Commissioner arrange the roll reports of tbe State Commissioners, and cause the same to be published on or before the 1st of August of each year. That monthly reports of the condition of tbe growing crops be prepared and sent the several Commissioners by agents appointed for the purpose, which report the Commissioners shall cause to be published at once in the agricultural papers.
