An association composed of tbe
tons of veterans was organized in
Turner Hall, Cincinnati. The pur
pose of the society is to perpetuate
the memory of the services of their

The order removing General
George H. Thomas from command
just before tbe battle of Nashville,
afterwards revoked, and the ex
istence of which has been denied, has
been found among General Halleck's
papers.
The tax payers are getting tired
Of having to pay the costs of a cut
ting scrape every week or two occa
aioned by a lot of fellows congrega
ting around the saloons at all times
of night when all quiet and well reg
elated people should be in bed.
The Governor of Kentucky re
cently received from U. S. Treasurer
James Gilfillan a check for $29,-
498 94, on account of Kentucky's
war claim against the General Gov
ernment, making about $60,000f in
all which has been received since
Governor Blackburn has been in
offiee.
The revenue ot our city is but little
if anything shott of forty five hun
dred dollars per annum and it is
difficult to imagine what beneficial
results the tax payers realize for it.
After the Recorder gets from one
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars
per annum, the Marshal not quite so
much, and a night-watch a little over
seven hundred, and a lew cross-walks
are built, the whole sura is ex
hausted. The Recorders could not
get near one third as much for the
same time spent at any other business.
It would seem like the holes could
be stopped and the leak? closed in
our city government so that out of
over four thousand dollars city rev
enue in one year fifty or one .lundred
dollars of that sum could be spent
in cleaning tbe surface drains and
other impurities over town in order
that the filth and dirty water might
be permitted to run off and thus
give at least a half dozen citizens of
the town a chance to live through
tbe season and escape some dreadful
scourge contracted from being ex
posed to tbe filth.
The Recorders office of this city is
getting to be sought after by almost
as many candidates as the Clerk's
and Sheriff's office. The reason why
so many are eager to get the position
is because the pay derived therefrom
is as much again as can be derived
from the same amount of labor per
formed in any other kind of business.
The fees charged by our city Recor
ders are twice as much as they should
be. Another city election is near at
hand and the people should take in
to consideration the importance of
urging upon the respective candi
dates for Councilmen the fact that
the new council should enact a sched
ule ot fees reducing the Recorder's
charges to not more than one-half
the present rates. It is likely that
it would be proper to make some re
duction in the Marshal's fees but it
seems likely that he is not paid near
so much as the Recorder 3nd it may
be not too much. Such things should
be investigated and properly regulated.
A circular has been issued by M.
F. Tarply, of San Francisco, calling
the attention of wool growers to tbe
aecesstty of an organization tor the
protection-of wool interests. A call
has been made for a convention of

held in Sacramento during next September.
A recent dispatch from New York
aayi:. Tne new French Reformed
churoh, Rev. P. A. Seguin (formerly
ft catholic priesty, pastor, was inaug
urated in Morse's "Passion" hall to
day. The new churoh proposes to
organize a school, library, and bureau
of placement for the benefit of the
French colony. This was the pur
pose to which t he profits of the pre
sentation of the "Passion Play,' re
cently prohibited, were devoted.
The Mormons or latter-day Saints
have been holding a protracted con
ference at Kirkland, Ohio. They
denounce the Utah polygamous Mor
mons and claim that they are at war
to the hilt with polygamous Mor
mons, and are working for the Uni
ted States to divide them from the
polygamous branch and recognise a
distinction. They claim that the
polygamous Mormons are mostly ig
norant foreigners; that there are
150,000 polygamous Germans in
Utah and are increasing at tbe rate
of 10,000 per year.
Some ot our City Conncilmen dur
ing the City official year before the
present one became convinced that
the pay of the City Recorder's office
was two or three times as much as
it should be and that the larger por
tion ot the city revenue was going in
that manner into the pockets ot city
officials for inadequate services; and
yet the same Conncilmen some of
them have served during the prese
year and have not dared to have
stiffness enough in the upper lip to
make any moove towards passing a
fee bill reducing the pay of the city
officials. Tbe people should look out
that hereafter they elect City Coun
cilmen who dare to do their duty.
Officials with the inactivity or pli
ability of puty should not be in any
past demand.
CROPS AND PR0S5ECT3.
The following gathered by the
crop beauro at Chicago, shows the
condition and prospects up to last
March 24lh:
GENERAL CONDITIONS.
For nearly twenty days the weath
er for March has been all that we
could desire, wheD we take into con
sideration the vast and varied inter
est which so much depends upon this
fickle month. We have had no
storms of either snow or rain to add
or to take from these so far favorab'e
conditions for opening the seeding
season of 1833. Tbe frost is nearly
all out of the ground in a very large
portion of the Northwest, and the
farmer is now ready to commence
bis great work fraught with so much
importance to the civilized world.
The lookout upon the Pacific slope
has not improved. The latest in
formation by wire gives a discourag
ing outlook, and the lack of necessa
ry rainfall in California to insure a
full crop of wheat from that State
continues. From Oregon, under
date of March 10, "The unpreceden
ted freezing weather during the first
fourteen days of February killed all
fail-sown wheat in the Willamette
Valley " "Eastern Oregon has not
suffered any loss in this respect.
There will be no more shipments this
season from Oregon." One of the
most important items of news which
directly effects American wheat pro
ducers is the fact that it is the inten
tion of the English government to
reduce the rates of transportation for
wheat on the railways of India, to
enable the wheat growers to compete
with American farmers. The pros
pects for the next harvest in England
and upon the Continent is still far
from bright.
WINTER WHEAT.
Up to the 15 inst. winter wheat
had pulled through successfully
against flood, fly and freezing. The
conditions since that date, and up to
the present time, have been very
much against the crop making a full
average one. The weather has been
trying in the extreme. The great
want of rain over the entire wheat
belt, and the dry, freezing weal her,
has told more against the crop than
during the whole season since the
wheat was sown Wheat has made
so little growth, and looks so poorly
yet, that we must have good rains
and warmer weather before we can
even approximate tbe amount of real
damage tbe crop has sustained.
There is no one State where the
crop looks poorer than another, and,
as we have stated, the general back
wardness of the crop is the main
feature against it at present. South
of the Ohio river, in Tennessee and
Kentucky, wheat is growing; but far
below its growth at this date in '82.
In Michigan the snow has not all
gone off yet, and there are but few
complaints so far of winter-killing.
There is very little difference in the
ontlook of wheat to-day in Sonthern
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. All are
watching and anxiously waiting for
rains and warm; growing weather to
give the wheat a good start. In
Missouri and Kanas the weather at
present is very dry and wheat is suf
fering for want ot rain. The careful
observer will plainly see that a deci
ded change is needed at once in our
winter'wheat situation to insure a
good harvest in 1883.
SPRING "WHEAT AND OATS.
Seeding has commenced, but by
no means general as yet. Nebraska
has cast the first seed and Dakota
has followed suit in a small way.
Nothing has been done in Minnesota
for the reason that there is too much
snow on the ground. From present
appearances we confirm what was
mated in our Private Crop "Deport,
of March 6th, viz: "That we do not
see much activity in seeding before
the first week in April." There have
been a few oatr sown, but the late
sudden eoldVand fre7ing weather has
put a stop to it. The ground is fast
getting into a fine condition for the
rceeption of the seed, and we con
sider the general outlook of spring
seeding very favorable. Reserves of
wheat have moved quite freely dur
ing the first lif.lf M March.
conx.
We ore not clone with the old crop
yet. Tho Department of Agricul
ture at. Washington gives us its idea
as to the amount, of corn on hand
upon the 16th of March, 1,888, which
is 530 million bushels, or 36 per cent
of last, years crop. The monthly con
sumption of corn has been estimated
at 140 million bushels. If these fig
ures are correct corn must be scarce
before we are able to handle another
crop. Farmers have been seil'ng
corn very freely during the month of
March, two factors being very large
iv in their favor; one being- good
prices and the other fine roads.
There has . not been a month of
March for years when country roads
over a very large area of the North
west have been in as fine condition
for internal traffic as they are to-day.
There has therefore been no obstacles
in the way of a very free movement
of the reserves of both wheat and
corn. This, however, will not con
tinue long, as we are about to enter
the most busy and active season o'
the whole crop year.
TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
(Written by a special correspondent.
ALCOHOL.
Alcohol is the intoxicating prin
ciple in all liquors, including wine",
porter, beer, ale, cider, and every
liquid that undergoes fermentation.
Alocohol consists of four parts
carbon, six hydrogen, and two of
oxygen. It is not found in nature.
It destroys vegetable or animal life.
No animal or vegetable can live in
it. When taken in the human sys
tem it coagulates the albumen of the
blood and nerves. Albumen exists
in the blood seventy-five parts to the
thousand, and from five to seven
parts io the thousand in the nervous
systems. Albumen is an organic sub
stance. To coagulate an organic sub
stance is to kill it. Every time a
man gets drunk he kills himself to
the extent ot his intoxication. The
proportion of alcohol in all intoxi
cating drinks are as follows:
Brandy .53 .39; rum .53 .68; gin
.51 .CO; Scotch whisky .54 .32; Irish
whisky .53 .66; Gonava whisky .55
.44; port wine. 23 .26; Mederia wine
.22; sherry wine .19 .20; champagne
.12 .15; cider burton ale .9; ale .6
.50; brown stout .6 .50; porter .4 .25;
small beer. 1 .25. These are all the
products of the decomposition of
cereal grains and of frnits. which con
tains the elements designed for mau's
nurishment in their natural stale.
Wiue is mentioned 261 times in
the Bible. It is mentioned in warn
ings 1 21 times, warnings and re
pioof 71 times, it denounces as pois
onous or venemous 12 times, it to
tally prohibits five times. Undelu
ded itlcohol is a narcotic poison; it
irritates the stomach, the brain, and
every organ in the system. No oth
er creature in the universe of God
makes and uses alcohol but man, he
alone uses it. It will kill a live man
and will preserve a dead one.
Horse Posters. .
We have recently received at this office, a
new Cut to represent the Percheron anil
Clydesdale stock of horses, besides having a
lot other cuts on hand. All person wanting
stock or horse posters we can print them
with a cut to suit most any style of horse.
