An unusual scene occurred at the Me tropolitan M. E. church when Rev. John Newman, in a sermon on "Infidelity." referred in severe terms to the anarchists. Could any American citizen," he said, "ten years ago, have imagined the sign in ir of a petition to pardon those whose hands are red with the blood of the de fenders of public peace and - safety! What it back of this anarchy this dare devil movement on the part ' of these villains who ought to have been hang long ago!" . At this point, many of the audience rose to their feet, cupped their hands, and with loud demonstration! an nounced their approval of the minister'! words. -! . A great evil hu been fostered in Wy oming Territory, uyt Got. Moonlight in hit annual report, in the thane of land grabbing and illegal fencing of the pub lic domain by weaitny men ana by cor porations, many of the Litter aliens. He thinks, bowever, that now tbe adminis tration of the land laws it vigorous and impartial ana tne settlers are protected in their rights. The complaints of the administration ol the laws do not come, the governor .states, from the men who are seeking homes, but rather from those who bold large bodies of land. Tbe re sult of the operations of the great syndi cate hu been to retard the progress of the Territory and prevent immigration. Business men now begin to understand that fifty families and fifty ranches occu pying the aamo ground covered by one rancb and fifteen men would afford them an enlarged market and assure them an Increase of business. The governor says the cattle business is declining; that bi tuminous coal is being successfully mined and that the oil fields are very rich. 4 asssassawaasssai VOTES.

Over the greater portion of the cotton region the deficiency has exceeded 10 inches. In the tolmceo. regions of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, the deficiency in rainfall for the season generally amounts to lest than five inches, except in the extreme west portions of Tennessee and Kentucky, where the deficiency in rainfall for the season exceeds 10 inches. The only states reporting excess of rainfall for tho season are Pentisylvania,Maino, Southern New York, the West portions of Kansas nnd Nebraskn,Northern Texat and Colo rado. ' THB COTTON HARVEST.

STICK TO IT. While it is true, that it will take many years of seemingly and perhaps unprofit able labor to restore worn-out sections, yet there is but one way to succeed in doing so, and that i, as the old adage Bays, to stick to it, and finally by inten sive and scientific work, and by the nec essary restoratives, tbe farmer may bring hit land back to its former fertility, and instead of decreasing in value, u now, It will yearly increase until it shall bloom like the rose, and the farmer'a home spread an influence for industry, educa tion and Christianity throughout the longth and breadth of the land. Atlan ta, Ga., SvulAem Cultirator, CLR1NO TOBACCO. Recent exerimenta made by a North Carolina gentleman in curing tobacco both on and off the stalk, seem to prove that the latter it tbe proper method. It is held that the great bulk of nicotine in a tobacco plant lies in the stalk, that in the old process of curing, this nicotine it driven to the leaf, and hence becomes an injury to it. Tho gentleman referred to above states, that by stripping the leaves at they ripen, and curing them off tho atalk, almost entirely relieves the tobac co of all nicotine, and, at a consequence, improves its quality to a considerable de gree.
