which niukes it my duty to testify tlie
public respect for tlie eminent citizen
and distinguished statesman whose
death, yesterday, at hiH home in In-
diunopolis, bus been made known to
the people by telegraphic announce
ment. Tlie services of Oliver P. Mor
ton to the nation in the difficult and
responsible administration of the af
fairs of the State of Indiana as its
Governor at a critical juncture of the
civil war, can never lie over-valued by
his countrymen. His long service in
the Senute lias shown his great power
as a legislator and as a leader and
chief counsellor of a political party
charged with tlie conduct of the Gov
ernment during thut period. In all
tilings and at all times he lias been
able, strenuous and faithful in the
public service, and his fame with his
countrymen rests on a secure founda
tion. Tlie several executive depart
ments will be closed on the duy of his
funeral, und appropriate honors should
be puid to the memory of the deceased
statesman by tlie whole nation.

er, as tlie treaty does not require it.

FIVE BALES OF COTTON TO THE ACRE.
Mr. T. C. Wort hen, of Washington
county, produced, In 1875,6,917pounds
of seed cotton, equal to five bales of
461 pounds each, on one aero of ground.
Tills cotton, nt an average price for
that year—17] cents—gives a total of
$403 from the acre. Deduct the cost,
$148, and we have as the net profit,
$255—a pretty good showing for one
acre.
In 1875 Mr. J. L. Boynton, of Cal
houn county, produced over two hales
of cotton mi one acre, with only $44
total expense—leaving him a net profit
of $185 tor one acre. We have records
of several other crops of cotton, ap-
proxlniating those results.
SOME WONDERFUL WHEAT CROPS.
Mr. 8. W. Leak, of Spalding county,
produced, in 1874, 4u| bushels of
wheat to tlie acre. Total cost per
aero, $14. Net profit per acre, $66.
During the present year Mr. Jones,
of Hogaiisvillc, harvested 53] bushels
of wheat from one aero, at u cost of
$13, clearing $7S on tlie acre.
Mr. A. J. Love, of Hancock, gatli
ered forty-throe bushels of wheat I ron
one aero of ground and used no ferti
lizer. He cleared about $65 to the

have not tlio space,
SUME STARTLING CORN CROPS.
In 1873 Mr. R. H. Hornady pn

bushels of peas, 2,160 pounds of fodder
and 1,500 poll lids of pea-vine hay,
with a net profit of $130. The expense
of cultivating being $28. This was
from upland. In the same year, Mr.
Cox, of Greene county, produced Hi
bushels of corn from one acre, clear

from tlie one acre.
Mr. W. .1. Henderson, of Washing
ton county, produced 71] bushels from
one acre, uml Mr. .1. M.Cox produced
70] bushels. We might multiply in
stances of this sort, perfectly well ac
credited, almost indefinitely.
MAKING hay in the sunshine.
Home of the most startling yields
have been taken from acres planted
in liny and forage crops, and tliis, too,
in the face of the fact that many peo
ple contend that Georgia is not ti gross
growing Stale.
Mr. J. It. Winters, of Cobb, in 1873,
took from one acre, 0,575 pounds of
dry clover hay at tlie first cutting of
tlio second year’s crop.

ty, gathered, in the fall of 187,'t, on an
acre of land from which lie hud liar-
vested in June, 4u bushels of wheat,
10,726 pounds of penvine hay. This

$299 08.

acre of ground, and received in money
for tlie same 75 eon Is per bushel, $340.
The total expense was $23, which left
u net profit lor the acre of $317. This
is hurt! to beat, and yet, in 1874, Mr.
John Dyer, of Bibb, took 399 bushels
of sweet potatoes from one acre of
ground, having cultivated it al an ex
pense of only eight dollars.
TURNIPS TILL YOU CAN'T REST.

total cost of production being $77, Ids

THE PRECIOUS LITTLE HICK CROP,
One of the most lucrative money
crops thut‘cun lie raised i- the rice ,
crop. There lias been Hut little at
tempt to push tliis crop to an extruor- ;
dlnary crop, hut so line examples .
which we give. In 1874 Mr. Bowen,

rice from one acre of land, with an 1
expense of $10.
tlie acre were S
per bushel.
Tn 1875 Mr. Brooks, of Pike county,

vated by himself lie raised 55 bushels
of corn, clearing $57 on it. On these
two acres he look premiums amount
ing to $50.
STOCK]fARMING AND FRUIT CULTURE.
\Ve might present example after
example of enormous profits made on
fruit and stock, but reserve them for
future articles.
II will lie noticed in the above that
wo have given figures to show what
may lie done with every variety of
crops, and ill every part of the State.
The lesson to he drawn from tlie fig
ures are that wherever a man is sit
uated in the Slate, or whatever crop
lie may desire to cultivate, lie may
achieve tlie richest results if he will
only work bravely and intelligently.
We shall huve more to say upon this
subject.
A Disease Peculiar to Russian <4rand
Dukes.
London World.]
There isu peculiar form of illness in
tlie imperial family of Russia, known
among the outer public as "imperial
disease,” which is confined solely to
the inemljers of tlie imperial house.
It lias no symptoms that cun be re
cognized by tlie medical profession,
but it always arises from the same
predisposing cause—the displeasure of
the Czar. When a grand duke incurs
the Emperor’s displeasure he is re
moved, if possible, to some distant
post, where, nominally holding a
nigh and important command, lie is
really In hanislmienl from the court.
One'grand duke is mixed up in a
brawl at a place of public entertain
ment, nnd is beaten by tlie clown of
an English circus: the Kliivnn expe
dition is on hand, and lie is sent to
take a command in it. Another
grand duke is made Governor Gen
eral of the Caucasus, and it ia
known thut he is in disgrace, though
tlie cause lias never yet tran
spired. Bui there are occasions when
no Hueli opportunity presents Itself,
and when no cause but illness can
justify the removal of tlie offender.
I f, for exuniple. there be ugraud duke
in . iimniiinil of an army in tlie field,
a1111 il be thought desirable to remove
him, any transfer to unother post
would be so palpable a disgrace, which
under no imaginable conditions will
the emperor openly inflict upon a
Romanoff, that lie is ordered to report
himself sick; It is duly certified that
he is suffering from tliis complaint or
that, necessitating change ufuir, and
only a few know that he has no illness
hut Imperial disease. It iH rumored
in St. Petersburg that tlie Gruud
Duke Nicholas is already beginning
to sicken, 'flic Times’ military cor
respondent inndcoiitly confirms the
report, “He is said,” lie writes, “to be
suffering from liver complaint, but
when I saw Him some days back he
was very well.”
The fact is that a spirit of doubt and
distrust of the imperial house is rising
in Russia, which must cause deep
anxiety to the Czar.
Consumption may be prevented by
chocking a cough or cold in time, and
