Monday, May 30, 1881. 
The political tight has been waxing warm this 
week, and the battle ground has been at Albany. 
Conkilng aud Platt have been leading their forces 
In person, while the "half breeds.” or friends of 
the Administration, have been led by Robertson. 
Secretary Blaine has been "hovering around” 
New York, ostensibly on private business. From 
the events of the past week It seems evident that 
conkilng and Platt cannot be re-elected to the 
Senau by ihls Legislature, at this session, without 
the aid of Democratic votes. Beyond this every¬ 
thing Is uncertain. It is to be hoped that before 
the week ends some deflnlte conclusion of this 
“ unseemly” matter maybe reaohed. Just how, 
It Is quite Impossible now to state. 
The bronze statu- of Admiral Farragut was un¬ 
veiled at Madison Square, this city, on the 25th 
Inst. Jos. n. Choate was the orator of the day. 
Addresses were made by Kx-Oov. Morgan, W. H. 
Hunt, Secretary or tbe Navy, Mayor Grace and 
others. There waa a large crowd of spectators 
and an Imposing military display. 
The funeral of Thomas A. Scott, who died on 
the 2 ist., took place from the family residence at 
Woodburn, 1 a„ on the 24 th Inst., and the remains 
were interred at Woodlands Cemetery. The Penn¬ 
sylvania railroad will drape all their vast property 
In black for several weeks. 
Tbe Cornell University boat crew have been 
ruled out of the Thames (England) Royal Regatta. 
In which tney were expecting lo participate. They 
did not submit their cerUflcates prior to March 
1. according to the rules. They, however, sailed 
for England and if no arrangements can be made 
whereby they can enter the race they will chal¬ 
lenge the winners to a contest. 
The reduction in the cost of the Star Route mail 
service now reaches the large sum of 1500,000. 
The aim has been to economize by cutting off the 
extra se j vice contracted for solely In the Interests 
of the “ ring. ” On one route alone $86,000 a year 
Is to be saved, and the people along the line will 
be served with their mall as well as they were be¬ 
fore. There have been some revelations of ofilolal 
looseness In the Treasury Department at Wash¬ 
ington during the past week. There seems to be 
a general renovation going on under the new ad¬ 
ministration. 
Commodore Nutt, the celebr ated dwarf, died in 
this city on the 25th Inst. He was born April 1> 
1844 at Manchester. N. 11 and at the age of IT 
was first exhlbl ted by Barnum. At the time of 
ins death he was three feet seven inches tall. 
At the animal Sunday School anniversary and 
parade held last Wednesday In Brooklyn, N. Y. 
61,000 children and young people were on the 
march. The Mayor reviewed them at Prospect 
Park. It was a gala day for the children. 
Mr. William W. Long, president of the south¬ 
western lmmljuatton Commission is considering 
the best manner of procuring Immigrants for the 
Stales of I-oulslana, Arkansas aud Texas, whose 
Commonwealths M r. Long represents. He Bailed 
for Europe Saturday the 21st, and intends to bring 
back wlih him or arrange for the coming of sev¬ 
eral thousand desirable settlers for the South¬ 
western country, where farmers and agricultural 
laborers are most In demand. He stated that the 
railroad companies traversing the three States 
mentioned have agreed la pay all the expenses of 
transporting desirable Immigrants and will give 
them land and employment on very desirahie 
terms. 
The number of Immigrants arriving at New 
York last week was 9200 ; the total for the month 
being 4i.on and since January 1,140,902. The ar- 
arrlvals for May are now estimated at 70,000, and 
for the year at 750,000. 
President Garfield and secretaries Blaine, Wln- 
dom, and Kirkwood will take part In the cere¬ 
monies In the National Cemetery at Gettysburg 
on Decoration Day. Gov. Hoyt and Btaff, with 
the heads of departments and both Houses of the 
Leglsla : ure, have accepted Invitations to be pres¬ 
ent. Hon Julius c. Burrows or Michigan win de- 
Bver the address. The Presidential party will ar¬ 
rive this morning and remain until to-morrow 
evening. 
Here Is an Indication of how the great West Is 
filling up. One thousand emigrants, en route to

The centennial celebration of the capture of 
Fort Galphln from the British, during the Revo¬ 
lutionary war, by Americans under Gen. Henry 
Lee, took place on the 2lst. The fort Is located 
on Savannah River, twelves miles below Augusta. 
An address was made by Col. C. C. Jones of Au¬ 
gusta, a descendant of tbe founder of the fort, who 
acted as master of ceremonies. 
Jefferson Davis has gone to Canada, In order to 
be on British soli when Ills history of tbe rebellion 
Is published in England, and thus secure an Kng- 
Bsh copyright. This plan is said to be feasible, 
because he Is not legally a citizen of the United 
States. 
Petitions rrom "thirty States and Territories, 
representing some 3ou,ooo members of churches 
and temperance societies,' 1 have been presented to 
President Gai field, praying that orders may be is¬ 
sued forbidding the sale of fermented liquors at 
forts and posts occupied by the army. 
The York town Centennial Commissioners have 
been offered, for $i,ooo, a glass goblet out of 
which Lord Cornwallis drank. Unfortunately, 
tho puree ot the Comnffsslon Is not very heavy; 
and If much lightened by the purchase of even 
such valuable historic relies as a glass goblet, at 
$ 1 , 000 , it will probably not be adequate to sundry 
other things or greater Importance In the practi¬ 
cal celebration. 
Ex-Gov. Washburn has conveyed his Kdgewood

and Improvements thereon, located on Lake Wln-

cent publtc benefactions. 
The Texas Pacific Railroad management have 
asked that a company of United States troops be

Tho three million and a-halt of newspaper sub¬ 
scribers in the United States pay $26,250,100 annu¬ 
ally for the news. The dally papers published in 
the country number nearly a thousand, but It 
would be an easy matter to count thegroat dallies 
upon one’s finger?. 
A building is about to be erected in Chicago 
upon ibe spot where the great fire ot is7i started, 
and the Historical Society of the city Is taking 
steps to have a memorial tablet placed upon It, and 
also to place a tablet or monument at the northern 
terminus of i he fire. 
A n army of over twelve thousand men draw pay 
from the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Rail, 
road company. This la an lncr ease of 2,102 since

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
A London cablegram of the 27th says that sev¬ 
eral well-known Scotch farmers are about to start, 
on a tour through this country with a view to ob¬ 
tain lntormailon regarding tho prospects of agri- 
cult ural immigrants.The returns of the com¬ 
merce of Austria and Hungary for January and 
February show that the import of wheat exceeded 
theexDori by 22 , 800,000 cwts.The last pana¬ 
cea lor the woes of the British farmer Is that he 
should grow tobacco. A writer advocates Its cul¬ 
tivation In the midland aud southern counties of 
England, and asserts that It, would yield, If prop¬ 
erly grown, a profit of £20 an acre. The cultiva¬ 
tion or tobacco Is at present forbidden In England, 
under an old Act of Charles II., and In Ireland by 
an Act of 60 years ago. Tobacco was cultivated in 
Ireland lor some 30 years previous to that date..., 
.. .After repeated trials at Paris. R has just been 
decided that 20 eggs count as a kilogramme, or 
2 1-6 pounds. The breeds of fowls that lay large 
eggs, averaging seven to a pound, are Lal'leche, 
Iloudans, Crevo-Cceurs, and Black Spanish; those 
laying medium-sized eggs, averaging eight or nine 
to (be pound, are Leghorns, Cochins, Brahmas, 
Polands, Dorkings, Guinea, fthd Sultans; the Ilam- 
burga lay about ten eggs to the pound. Duck eggs 
weigh from two to three ounces apiece; turkey eggs 
three to four ounces; goose eggs from four to six 
ounces.A cablegram of May 27 says that 
according to official returns up to the l run lust, the 
crops In Bohemia, Lower Austria, North Tyrol and 
Dalmatia have suff ered somewhat from frost. The 
prospects In the Central and Southern zones are 
good. In the North wheat promises well. Excel¬ 
lent results are expected from the vintage and fruit 
harvest. .. Quail are very abundant In Santa Bar¬ 
bara County, Cal. In some places the farmers are 
compelled to prison them In order to protect their 
growing crops. Five acres of Lima Beaus were 
wholly destroyed by these birds on one farm. 
_The Galveston (Texas) News thus speaks of 
one of the tricks of the trade“ Some Texas pa¬ 
pers print fabulous accounts of the weights of 
fleeces from Merino sheep. The discount for dust 
is not given. Texans seldom wash their sheep be¬ 
fore shearing or scour the wool afterwards.”. 
Caterpillars in enormous droves have appeared In 
parts ot New Zealand, destroying field after field 
of oats. Near Turaklna hundreds of thousands of 
them were passing across the country to a new 
field for depredations, when they round themselves 
obliged to cross a railroad track. As a train came 
along, thousands ot them were crushed beneath 
the wheels, and finally the train was brought to a 
full stop by the Hllppery condition of the rails. 
When the engine and carriages were examined 
after the stop had been made they were found cov¬ 
ered, In many places. Inside and out. by the crawl¬ 
ing vermin. Landlords In Scotland have 
found it a wiser course to reduce their rents than 
to keep them up at the risk of a possible land agi¬ 
tation. Farms the leases of which recently expired 
or are soon to expire have been relct at rents vary¬ 
ing from 20 to «o per cent, lower than before. On 
the estate of Lord Lamlngton, In East Lothian, 
where some of the best lands In the country are 
found, a farm on a former rent of about £1,000 waa 
relet a short time ago at a reduction ot over 40 
per cent. The tenant 1 b said t-o be one of the 
most enterprising and skillful agriculturists In 
Scotland, but has met with heavy losses of late, 
and was obliged to stipulate for this reduc 
tton before he would take another lease. 
Secretary Allen of the Omaha Board of Trade, 
estimates the grain crop of Nebraska for 1881 at 
io6.ooo.ooo bushels, an increase over isso ot fully so 
per cent. The wheat crop la estimated at 16,000,- 
000 bushels, a gain of about bo per oent.The 
exports of domestic provisions, tallow and dairy 
producls from the l nltcd States durlDg April 
amounted to $ 8 , 133 , 164 , tigalust $12,962,672 In April, 
isso. For the four months ending April 30 ,1881, 
they were $58,405,350, against $ 44 , 286,762 for the 
same period in 1880. The value of provisions and 
tallow for the six months ending April 30 was $73,- 
360,712, agalnBt $58,484,014 for the six months end¬

About Battle Creek, Mich., sheep are dying in 
great numbers. They appear dumpish, refuse tc 
eat, lie down and die. No remedy yet hit upon. 
.Upwards of 100 representatives ot the 
Cotton-seed crushers’ Association of the U. S., 
convened at Cincinnati on May 24 and 25. ThP 
objeot of the meeting was to adopt measures 
whereby the mills belonging to the association 
can monopolize the trade and thus regulate the 
price of seed, and crush out the smaller tlrmB not 
belonging u> the association. Several delegates 
were expected from Chicago, but they failed to 
come. To all present appearances the yield 
of strawberries along the valley of the nudson 
this season will be the largest ever obtained, and 
the berries will also be larger than those of last 
year. The first of the fruit will be shipped to the 
New York market toward the close of this week. 
The bulk of the crop will leach the market about 
the 20 th of July. .Senator Williams has In¬ 
troduced a bill at Albany to convert the Erie 
canal Into a ship canal by lowering the channel 
one foot and raising the bank two feet, thus giv¬ 
ing three additional feet depth of water, and 
thereby allowing the passage of propellers of 1,000 
tons from the lakes to New York City. Eight 
million dollars Is named as the probable cost ot the 
work, and the constitutional restriction as to the 
annual expenditure for canal repairs It is proposed 
to do away with, on the ground that this will bo 
essentially a new enterprise.The San Fran¬ 
cisco Commercial Herald, of the 12th of May, lssu 
says: “ Wheat crop prospects are brilliant, and 
the harvest will begin by the 23d. of May, and 
new wheat from Tulare County will be In market 
by the first of June. Tho surplus crop of old wheat 
Is very large.By advices of Mays, wheat

The names of Pr of. Horsford and the Iiumford 
Chemical Works (Providence, R. I.) have become 
so Identified with the manufacture and sale of 
phosphoric acid and the phosphates, that they are 
jnstiy considered as the highest authority In this 
country, If not in the world, upon those articles. 
The former, (Prof. H.) has made the subject of 
wheat and Its conversion Into bread, a life long 
study, and was the first, to suggest, the use of the 
phosphates as a cream tartar substitute, whereby 
the nutritious elements which are taken from the 
flour In bolting are restored. 
The phosphatlc preparations of the above firm 
have received the hearty recommendations of the 
highest medical and chemical authorities In this 
and other countries, so that their healthfulness 
and utility are beyond question. Theybaveb en 
put upon the market In various rorms, t he latest, 
and one which will undoubtedly prove the most 
popular, being “ Prof. Horsford’s Phosphatlc Bak¬ 
ing Powder,” which Is packed In tin cans like the 
ordinary baking powders, and is to be used In the 
same way. It Is made from Prof. Horsford’s Acid 
Pnnspbate in powdered form. It contains the 
same Ingredients, mixed together, as the famous 
llorsford’s Bread Preparation, is fully equal in 
strength, If not superior, to any ot the ordinary 
first-class baking powders, and is sold at reasona¬ 
ble prices. 
The Works have Issued for the present year, 
their “Horsford Almanac and Cook Book,” which 
Is sent free on application, and will be found well 
worth sendlDg lor.
