I and, according to tho latest advices, the crop of 1880 will bear about tho ;same proportion to the corn croo of the conn-! try. The report of the Board of Agficnl- j tore shows. that during the past 21 years, after receiving a fair remuneration for the cost of the production of their i corn the farmers of that State have realised a net profit of $1,000,000. The average yield , per acre during the past season was 'i3 bushels, and in 21 years this has bte:i exceeded only eight times, the average in 1SG2 being 40.

JEUE BLACK QUOTES SOME STKAXGE IAN OCAOE BY THE PRESIDENT ELECT, j New YonK, Feb. 23. The national a"pti monopoly league held a meeting in tha Cooper union. Judge Jeremiah S. Black was the principal speaker He said that railroad corporations having been put in possession of the public highways f the country were bound to run I them in tire in terest of the public, to whom they belong. Corporations were-public servants, but they had violated their trusts for private gains. The voice of the complaint iconics up from all quarters of the country. In speaking of a meeting he once t isded at Clcave land, Ohio, Judge Black-said he heard Gen. Garfield say that railroad corporations wielded such power that the time was fast approaching when a conflict would take place unless the railroad corporations were throttled by the strong arm of the law. The agitation, Judge Black said, that had just commenced must go on until fifty ruil lians of people know that they were fifty millions strong. The question wa3 what could be done to put an end to the system. The only hope was in Congress. The sec retary read a letter from Senator William Windum sympathizing with the movement. n iuuwui sj uiJoni.uuS m 111c lauyeinent. Resolutions were adopted bouncing mo- nopolics.

In seeking it we natur ally turn to the "great evil;" as the temper ance people say, whisky; which is reported to be the fruitful source of ninetenths of" all crime. But here again we' are met by the Maine statistics that are hard to understand, for C. II. Goddard, by a comparison f the criminal reports for 1831 and .1880, demon strates that while the increase in population in Maine during that period was but 14 per cent., the increase in high crimes was 379 per cent., and of other felonies at the rate of 207 per cent. In 1S31 divorces were rare, but now Maine leads. all of New Eng land in driving a thriving business in the dissolution o.f marriage ties and bastardi zing children. And, strange to say, these deplorable results have come about during the strict enforcement of prohibitory legis lation, so the increase of crime there cannot be laid to the door of intemperance. Look ing at the matter without prejudice, we con fess that we cannot account for this increase in crimes in the New England States other wise than by laying the blame on the natural disposition of the people who inhabit that part of the moral vineyard. ; It is without doubt a slander to impute this law-breaking tendency to high education, and certainly it ought not to be attributed to enforced tem perance.

The following correspondence of ,l Charlotte Observer, will interest the general reader upon this at nres- ent interesting subject, and seems to outline what the action of the Legis lature w Hi be on Prohibition.

Tt was ono of the Judge's finest sights at constitutional hair splitting. But it did ii t set the eoulter deep enough tor the brethren.

Mr. McDonald said he was for absolute prohibition, and they would hold the legislature responsible. Politics had noth.no- to do with it nnd if any party has to bo held together i1 O bv i the boons of o whisfcv hirsl deserved to "bust." Mr. M. is a Re- nuiilican Such a sudden shcllinc of the Lc-- islative committee rather added to the uneveness of the evening conference but Judge Reade, -.villi his kindly nature for soothing the down-on a thistle, soon restored the best of feet- ing in assuring the joint commif.ee of thci full confidence of the prohibition- ists in the good sense and iiiiejnity of the Legislature, whatever its actio'n n,.vV e The joint prohibition committee then gave its views on the subject. MiL Tucker was airainst the fruit fen- tuie of Judge Reade's bill. It would lead to perjury in many ways : the tieonle would smear a barrel of wins- kyover with dried apples and swear it was brandy. He had seen as yet , . .. but one common sense plan proposed and that was Mr. Bull's of Greens- bo, to let the people vote prohibi- tion or no prohibition, and if-arried in the State the Governor to call an extra session and have the law passed, Thiry could do it in a day's lime and at little cost. Mr. Grainger said the great diver- sity of the friends of temperance only showed they were not agreed among themselves, and it would be difficult for any one to devise a law to satisfy alii He was for the most practical and common sense view to be sub- milted to the people. The Legisla- ture should at least remedy the abuse of retailing liquor so-as to make each barkeeper give a justified bond be- t ween one hundred and a thousand dollars, and if so muchas a drink was sold to a man perceptibly drunk he might recover $25 or $50 out of that boiid, Mr. Webster said he had a misty idea somewhere about his head that a temperance law was never worth the paper it was written on, yet he would go for it with the majority, and while never noted for having much love for xJ i.n i.a iiiminlit: hia idan the wisest letting the people vote wheth- i er or not they wanted it, and if they did:, give it to them. Mr. Bowman was unqualifiedly in lavyr of a straightout liquor law, but not: getting that he was iu favor of string and decided restrictions. He waf full against Judge Reade's pro - position to let up ou apples and peach- es, as that was the article under which hisi people groaned. j , , i :!. !.. 31 r.

A remarkable circumstance in con nection with the recent cold snap was the effect on the fish along the coast, large schools being driven in shore and in shallow water. Strantro as it 0 may leem, it is asserted that the fish, particularly bass and trout, were ob served to throw themselves bodily out of the water on land. An old negro caught thirty-one very fine large bass in this way at Raccoon Key, near Warsaw. On Saint Catharine's a net thrown in the wafer 'was almost in- ,.' stantly filled by large fish and fisher men found some difficulty in hauling the nets in. Others were observed to kill them in the water with oars. This novel occurrence was witnessed generally all along the islands' to the southward and in the rivers near the coast, Savannuh ((?.) New.

There arc families which en. dure miseries untold because they live beyond their means because they wish to dress, and visit, and en tertain, as neighbors do who have tenfold their income. 'fTruly, niai walketh in a vain show!" Of this narrow and vulgar ambition, a brood of sordid and unwholesome things artr born. It is impossible that children shall develop symmetry of character iu houses where life is a frantic strug gle to appear as grandly as the occu? pants of the next one appear, the grandeur being all tinsel and vaii show. It has been found by actual exieri- ment that a glass globe three iuclns iu diameter aud one-tenth of au inch in thickness will bear a pressure i,? seven tons to the square inch; without being crushed or permeated witlj wafer or al o ol.
