as It was feared an effort might, be made la some 
of the demonstrations lu his honor to treat him 
other than as “an Illustrious citizen who has held 
the chief magistracy of hLs country and one of Its 
military glories.” In other words, there was a 
fear that ex-President Grant would be “played 
off" against President AlacMuhou. 
VARIOUS. 
There are 100,000 Germans In Texas. 
The honey crop of California Is reported to be a 
complete failure this year. 
Conflicting reports reach us of the Canada 
hop crop, tnesumot all being, however, that the 
yield will be smaller than last year. 
The wool clip of Montana la considerably larger 
this year, than last, when It was about 000,000 
pounds netting the sheep owners $ioo,ooo. 
A company has been formed In California, with 
a capital of fjoo.ooo, divided Into 8,000 shares, for 
the manufacture or paper from tule grass. 
A bank in Clay county, Texas, was asked lf a 
check on a cattle Icing for $uo,ooo would be honor¬ 
ed In Henrietta, and the answer returned, “ Yes, 
for half a million.” 
Farmers la some portions of North Carolina 
are ow m ilting their own fertilizers. They col¬ 
lect large quantities of forest leaves and cover 
them with earth to decay. 
The wheat and other crop prospects In Alabama 
are satisfactory. The corn crop Is unusually 
large. It Is reported the cotton worm has ap¬ 
peared In small numbers In parts of South Ala¬ 
bama. 
California farmers are cultivating flg trees 
for the sole purpose of raising and fattening hogs, 
This fruit contains large quantities of saccharlue 
matter, hence Is very fattening. The flg tree, 
once well st arted, requires little attention, bears 
several crops a year and Is very prollllc. 
In the Oregon State census, taken In 1875, the 
number of sheep In the state was given as 530,000 
and the wool clip of that year at a trifle less than 
3,000,000 pounds. With two successful years since 
that time and the usual increase, the number or 
sheep should now be very nearly 1,00,ouO, and 
the wool clip of the present year considerable 
over 3,000,000 pounds. 
The large foreign trade of California In fruit 
aud wines becomes no mystery when it Is known 
that the State has 3,800,000 fruit trees and 35,500,- 
ooo.ooo grape vines, and harvests from 30U,000.000 
to 500 , 000,000 pounds of fruit yearly. She pro¬ 
duces a large surplus, and foreign trade follows 
as a matter of course. Judging rrom the indus¬ 
trial spirit, California, she will one day have a 
large foreign trade Ln manufactures from the 
same reason.
