Washington, April 20.?An invc-^tiga
, tion of the condition of winter wheat by I
! the statistical division of the Department I
I of Agriculture represents tho crop, as a I
i whole, much below that of last year in |
(April. The Northern belt was generally
protected by a covering of snow, leaving
the roots intact, though the tops might
be brown and lifeless in places. Between
tho 3tith and 40th parallels of latitude
the protection was lea* uniform, and tho
continuous freezings and thawings in
March were destructive in more exposed
situations and injurious, generally, in a
greater or less degree. The injury is
greatest in those portions of Indiana, Il?
linois, Missouri and Kansas in which
drought prevented early planting and
adequate root development before the
coming of winter. In the area South of
the 36th parallel wheat is uninjured by
frost ana vigorous, oven luxuriant in
some districts. The advantage of drill?
ing over broad-casting is in all sections
unanimously assertod.
In California tho early .sown is an as?
sured success: that put in late is less vi
l gorous and fears aro entertained that
prevailing North winds and absence of
tho later rains may greatly reduce the
yield of the loss advanced portion of the
crop. There is an apparent increase of
k about seven per cent, in the area of win?
ter wheat, amounting in round numbers
to 1,500,000 acres, though that portion of I
the winter wheat killed and to be rc-1
* planted in other crops may be equal in j
the West to the enlargement of the
planted area. This increase is small in
the Middle States, considerable in Illi?
nois and Missouri and proportionately
largest in the Gulf States ana in Kansas,
reaching thirty per cent in the South?
west ^v
In view of the retirement of General
Spinner from the office of Treasurer on
the 1st of July, it has been determined
to assess upon the several national banks
at* the expense of redeeming and assorting
r their notes of the National Bank Re?
ft demotion Agency on the 1st of May, in
r atend of the 1st of July, as originally in?
tended. It is stated in the Treasurer's,
last annual report it has beon decided,
upon consultation with the Secretary of
the Treasury, that the expenses for ex?
press charges shall be apportioned in
proportion to tho amount of the notes of
oaoh bonk redeemed, while the expenses
of assortment' will be apportioned in
proportion to the number of notes re?
deemed for each bonk. This distinction
is made for the reason that tho express
charges aro bused upon tho amounts
transported, while the labor and expense
of assortment are in direct proportion to
the number of notes handled. It will
j probably bo some weeks after tho 1st
proximo before the apportionment of the
expenses will be completed. The average
charge will not exceed one-quarter of
one per cent, upon the amount redeemed
and assorted, but tho assessment upon
oaoh bank will vary from the (average,
according to the' denominations of its
notes. If the average denominations aro
greater.than the general average, tho ex?
penses will bo less than the average, and
vice versa.

Golden Words from the Great Show?
man.--Mr. P. T. Iturnum, the showman,
was inaugurated as Mayor of Bridgeport,
Conn., on the 12th instant, linn deli?
vered a short address. Concluding, he
said:
"It is painful to the industrious and
moral portions of our people to see so
many loungers about the streets, and
such a multitude whose highest aspira?
tions seem to be. to waste their time in
idleness or at base ball, billiards, Ac.
No person needs to be unemployed who
is not over-fastidious about the kind of
occupation. There are too many soft
hands (and heads') waiting for light work
and heavy pay. Hotter work for half a
loaf than beg or steal a whole one. Mo?
ther earth is always near by and ready to
respond . to reasonable drafts on her
never-failing treasury. A patch of pota?
toes raised 'on shares' is preferable to a
poulticed pate earnod in a whiskey scrim?
mage. Some modern Micawbcra stand
with folded hands waiting for tho panic to
pass, as the foolish man waited for tho
river to run dry and allow him to walk
over. The soil is the foundation of Ame?
rican prosperity. When multitudes of
our consumers become producers; when
fashion toadies economy, instead of ex?
pending for a gaudy dress what would
comfortably clothe the family; when peo?
ple learn to walk until they can afford to
ride; when tho poor man ceases to ex?
pend more for tobacco than for bread;
when those who complain of panic learn
that *we cannot eat our cake and keep
it;' that a siovo will not hold water; that
we must rely on our own exertions, and
earn before we expend, then will panics
cease and prosperity return. While we
should by no means unreasonably re?
strict healthy recreation, wo should re?
member that 'time is money,' that idle?
ness leads to immoral habits, and that
the peace, prosperity and character of a
city depend in the intelligence, integrity,
industry and frugality of its inhabitants."
How a Woman Fousd the Heart ok
tiik President.?There is one family that
will never forget our President, despito
these tendencies of political parties or
partisans. The story we give was fur?
nished us by ono who knows its truth,
and as it has never got into print, we
narrate it as evincing the fact that Gen.
Grant has got a heart, at all events. The
wife of a defaulting officer called upon
President Grant, last December, to im?
plore the release of her husband from the
Albany penitentiary. She told the Pre?
sident that, crushing as the sorrow was
to herself, she would try to bear it, but
that every morning, without an excep?
tion, since her husband's incarceration,
her fonr little children had come to h'*r
with the tearful inquirv: "Will dear
papa come home to-day?'1 "This plea of
my children will, I know, ere long drive
me into insanity. And now," :;aid hIio,
"my little ones have varied their agoniz?
ing questioning with a pathos that is
maddening, too: "Won t pa come home
VhrlntmasT'" "Madam, I will consult
the Attorney-General, and do whatever I
can for your husband, with his ap?
proval." "I know that will all be use?
less," said the grief-stricken wife; "his
decision m ill only be adverse, and I may
as well go home and tell my children at
once that their papa can't come home,
and give up m despair.' "Wait a mo?
rn out," said the President, and sitting
down, he hastily penned a note to Attor
i ney-General Williams, and nervously
handing it to her, Raid: "Go and teil
your children that their pup* *!n:ii com ?

The I'niUd Statt i Army an / Savy J >.-r
)uil announces the adoption into the
American service of the t? lemeter an
' invention of a well known Belgian of?
ficer, Captain De lioulenge, for measur?
ing distunes by the velocity of sound.
The principle on which the telemeter i<
constructed, has long been known and
applied! The advantage offered by the
new instrument, is the exactitudf of its
measurements, which, according to th>
American paper, would in tho bands of a
trained observer be perfect. As it is. the
telemeter is said to he sufficiently correct
in tho hands of most officers, after a little
practice, to give the exact range of an
enemy the moment the Hash and report
of his guns are seen and heard. "The
use of the telemeter." says the Army and
Navy Journal, "in the bands of every of?
ficer in a long lino will tend to enc rago
coolness. It will then become an object
to reserve your own flro and provoke
that of tho enemy at long rangea, so as
to get the advantage of knowing his dis?
tance and concealing your own. Onco
his range is ascertained, and tho sights
properly elevuted, n brisk fire opened
along the whole line will prevent tho
enemy from using his own telemeters to
any usoful purpoxe, from the confusion
I of flashes and reports becoming lo.st in
i one another."
There were clergymen who kissed be?
fore Beecher was born. Said the Rev.
Sydney Smith: "Wo are in favorof a cer?
tain amount of shyness when a kiss is
proposed, but it should not be too long;
and when the fair one gives it, let it bo
administered with warmth and energy;
lot thero be soul in it. If she close ier
eyes, and sighs immediately of tor it, the
effect is greater. She should bo caroful
not to slobbor a kiss, but givo it ns a
humming-bird runs his bill into a honey?
suckle?deep,' bat delicate. There is
much virtue in a "kiss when well deli?
vered. We have the memory of one we
received in onr youth which lasted us
forty years, and we believe it will bo one
of the lost things we shall think of when
j we die."

SuasrrnuiNO Gold for Silvf.r.-- Step?
aro being taken by several of the State-,
and kingdoms of"Europo to effect an ex?
tensive substitution of gold for silver in
current use as a circulating medium.
There has been recently issued in Ger?
many 1,114,000,000 marks in gold coin,
and a still greater amount is to be put in
circulation. A mark is equivalent to
about 21 cents. Belgium is putting out
gold coin at the rate of 50,000,000 francs
annually. In Holland, $130,000.000 gold
coin is needed, and France imported
last year 431,001,000 francs worth of gold
more than she exported. Of course, such
movements will materially affect the re?
lative market value of gold and silvt r in
the markets of the world.
Illicit Whiskey Tu ins.- A corres?
pondent writes to the Picken Srntinel,
I informing that journal that the traffic in
I illicit whiskey is alarmingly on the in -
'crease; that peddlers carry the stuff
I around in open wagons on the public
; roads and into plantations, and not only
; sell it for money, but trade it off for corn
and other merchandise. The writer asks
I whose business it is to stop it, and why
a United States Commissioner or Deputy
Marshal is not sent into the country to
Sut an end to a traffic that is not only
efrauding the Government, but bring?
ing desolation into the neighborhood
j where it is sold for consumption.
: Here is aft iut-rosting third-term item:
I The Wushingbui correspondent of the
.Springfield Republican writes: "A friend
j of mine, a r.agacious politician, had a
long tulk with Judge Davis, of the Su
I preme Court, a day or two since, and in
! the course of the conversation that clcar
' headed man expressed the opinion that
General Grant not only wished 'a third
term,' but that he would got the nomina?
tion next yar from his party. This
shows that it cannot be the 'mere moon?
shine' of somo of the Republican papers. ,
for Judge Davis is a keen observer, and
this is his deliberate judgment."
Tons or Silver Coin. ? During a single i
day last week eight-and-a-half tons of!
fine silver bars were shipped t-> Phila?
delphia from the new assay office. The
quantity stated in tons sounds enorm >us,
but when the value is given at only
$300,000, the fact seems scarcely worthy |
of remark. A ton of standard gold is j
worth $542,000, bnt of silver the trilling i
sum of $35,000. It is surmised that the
j design is to use this silver in the re?
