THE SAD FATE OF ANNABEL LEE.
Man v ft year hft* guno down in tho tide
0( the restless, rolling sea,
Since I nnd iny newly-wedded brtde,
The beautiful Annabel 1-ec,
Went on our brlilal mt.rond rble,
That whs so disastrous to mo.
Bl'.e wns f«lr, nnd T was young—
1 nnd my Annnbel I.eo;
I bail the ears anil sho bad tho tonglle.
And tltm who wotn there to sou
Si<y that the very ear roof rung
With tho taffy she gave to mo.
But t' i rleli maroon of that Uectlo neon
Wr never lose terrors for me,
Wo stooped for grub, hut not loo soon
For the boAUtlful Annabel l^e;
For she wns faint as n hungry bear,
From her ivory feet to her cardinal hair,
Wns my benhtlful Annabel Lee,
And she went Into business then and then,
My unforlunato Annabel I-oo 1
Tho pork nnd doughnuts, and pickles and
beans,
Disappeared like a frightened flea.
And I thought it lucky that aUoquftte means
llail boon Invested in mo,
To pay lor filling my qnoon of queans,
My beautiful Annabel l^e.
She looked no love, she spake no speeeh;
With her ’twas a matter of silence and roach,
Unfit I began to be
A little ntrajd, and compelled to bnaeeeh
My darling, my darling, iny iwoothonrt, my
neaeb,
To lot up on tho g-r-u-b I
And that Is the reason that years gone by
My beautiful Annabel Mo
Wont for a pleee of railroad pie,
And slid up tho f l-n-m-e,
For she was hn nan, and her gastric force,
Though good, wasn't that of u thoroughbred

Or a steftm 0-h-g-l-n-e.
And so it happened that on that pte
Sly darling, tnv darling, went up to the sky,
My beautiful Annabel Me.
And oft in tho night ttdo I turn on my right

And curious dreams come to me,
O! lav darling, tnv love, In the tv Alms nbovo,

Important Agriculture Statistics.
A writer in the International Jtevicw,
who seems to liavo drawn his facts anil
figures from official sources, furnishes
some interesting and important informa
tion in regard to tho ineretvso of various
crops in this country. He says that in
the last fifteen years tho production of
wheat and barley has trebled; corn, cot
ton and tobacco more than doubled; hay
increased more than one-third, and oats
almost 140,000,000 bushels. Hero are
tho statistics: In 1805 tho wheat crop
was 148,653,000 bushels; in 1870, 448,-
756,000; corn, in 1805, 704,427.000 bush
els, and in 1879, 1,544,899,000; oats, in
1869, 235,252,000, and in 1879, 304,253,-
000, rye, 19,544,009—22,046,000; hur
ley, 11,391,000—40,184,000; potatoes,
101,632,000—181,309,000; hay, 23,538,-
000 tons—35,648.000; tobacco, 183,327,-
000 pounds—to 384,059,000; Cotton 2,-
229,000 bales—6,020,000.
The writer attributes tho increase in
cereals to the increased population and
development of tho Western and North
western States. Ho Bays that during the
present generation tho corn has been
transferred lroin tho South to the West,
and tho wheat centre from tho Middle
States to tho far West. In 1842, 59 per
cent, and in 1859, 52 per cent, of our
corn wns grown in tho Southern States.
In 1877, 850,000,000 bushels came from
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska. The product of
all tho rest of tho Union was only 494,-
558,000 bushels. Tho tobacco increaso—
100,000,000 pounds from 1870 to 1878—
has been, of course, mainly in tho South.
In the same section and same period
cotton has increased from 3,012,000 to
5,216,009 hales, Arkansas and Texes
being the leading States in this ad
vance. In the former, 111,000,000 pounds
wero ruised in 1870, and 318,000,000 in
1878; in the latter, in 1870, 157,000,000
pounds, and in 1878, 500,000,000.
Only about 9 jier cent., it is said, of
tho national grain crop is exported, in
cluding 24.76 per cent, of tho wheat, and
6.49 of tho corn. The total exports of
ail grains wero 39,000,000 bushels in
1868; in 1878 they bad risen to 189,000,-
000. Tho exports are likely to increase
with tho production, though in a far
smaller proportion; and the timo is not
far distant when tho United States will
Ire the dominant power in the grain mar
kets of tho world.
In the Wrong Room.
Shortly after 12 o’clock a few nights
ago a Philadelphia guest at one of the
large Atlantic City hotels was awakened
by a nudge from tho sharpest of his
wife’s sharp knuckles. As he opened
his eyes lie saw by means of the ex
tremely faint light that peuctratcd from
the bull into the room the figure of a
man, who stood silently by the bureau
and who, as it appeared, was fumbling
for whatever valuables might fall into

Us ers may bo avo dnd. F.ighlOCtl hlin
died nnd cighly-tlneti, however, liai
dawned with leaden skios nml portents
of evil. In Kranee the gronUM Hcinib-
lienn has been stricken down, ntiu h s
death ha- boon followed by many signs
of Pol t cal incapacity, social agitation
nnd nntlonal despondency. On the
Continent I ho lb ods luvo borno devas
tation nn I misery in their train. From
every nunrtcr there nre tidings of dis
aster. The hold tiro in Milwaukee, tho
eireus catastrophe in Russia, the ra iway
accident near Tcliioliipa 1’h*s, the loss
of two staunch ocean steamships, and
numerous other di-asters on sea and
land, are not only appalling horrors, but
onions of depression nnd gloom. Men
are Already saying in (heir hearts: “It
will be a disagreeable year, if nothing
w nsci”
Be ore tho ngonoios of s cam, elec
tricity did the public prnnH were multi
plied, the olloet of sudden catastrophe*
wasconlined fo (lie localities in which
they occurred. When (lie tower in
ISilottm fell, there Was tlo lack of talk In
the neighboring villages, and the rumor
of the disaster wns v nrriod beyond Jeru
salem into the lull-country, hut tho
world outside did not know wlint had
happened. The collapse of tho groat
Ohinluoy-slrtok ih Bradford a few weeks
ago was telegraphed instantly to tllfl
endso: tho earth, so that it was known
BifiluitntlooUsly in Calcutta, the Eu
ropean capita's, San Francisco nnd New
York that sixty men, women and chil
dren had suddenly ceased to exist in tho
WoiifldU', world. But outside Bradford’
there was si arcely a singlo point of hu
man interest in the calamity. Archi
tects may have been warned against
sacri citig tho pflhciplos of security to
hnpely proportions, and life insurances
c uivossers may have obtained a new
fact to Iny boforo working pooplo; but
the human suffering which had been
Caused left no impression ii| on the
minds of readers at a distance. Three
hundred people are trampled under
foot or burned to death In a circus in
Poland; but the fact excites no more
emotion in tho heart of nn American
reader,than thf* footing*'of a table ot
mortality statistics. Four hundred
emigrants and sailors are suddenly
swallowed up by the sea. Thcro is a
short/ controversy respecting compart
ments in a ship’s hull and a momentary
etirios ty to learn what excuse the com
mander of the otherstoainship can offer
for not nttompting a rescue; but tho
agony which was viiiaod In a singlo in
stant, when hundreds of those quiet and
simple peasants nnd working people
wero brought face to face with thoir
doom, is only ft vague generalization,
in a week it’is forgotten by tho general
public.
It sonly in exceptional instances that
those tragic occurrences leave ahv ptu‘-
manont impression upon the public
mind outside the immediate localities
whore they occur. The facts arc*known,
but suffering is not brought close to tho
emotions and sympathies. A day
pes os, and men are thinking Of some
thing newer and pleasanter. A mouth
goes by, and 1»83 is not considered
especially unlucky, but only an average
year, with startling occurrences now
and then, but with tho i sual out omo
of peaco, prosperity nnd security- A
year rolls by, nnd there is n vaguo feeling
of disappointment and depression and
an eager hope that another year will bo
cheerier and brighter. There is in
variably a speedy reaction from tho dis
couragement and sense of insecurity
caused by the vicissitudes of human
destiny.
It may bo that th ) world ns it grows
older is becoming more and more ac
customed to the conditions of its being.
Certainty the impressions of helples -
ness caused by catastrophes like those
which have been recently recorded are
only vaguo and transitory. Tho thrill
of horror excited by such rocilals is felt
only momentarily; the sense of insecur
ity and the feeling of unrest soon pass
awav. Men learn to oxpoct catastro
phes and to make allowance for them
in the Providential scheme of tho uni
verse. Yet they can not explain them.

Mammoth Trees In California.
A correspondent who has been visiting
tho grove of big trees in Calaveras
Connty, Cal., writes os follows:
It has always lieen so difficult for me
to form any conception of the size of the
mammoth trees from given figures, hut
when I went into the grove and saw them
standing, and climbed twenty-six steep
steps to reach tho upper side of a fallen
sequoya and became dizzy on looking
down to the ground I realized their im
mense proportions; ono of the gentle
men of the party reached his arms at
full length and it took eight measures to
■pun one of the smaller trees.
Visitors have the privilege of naming
any of the big trees, and placing a mar
ble slab with tho inscription thereon.
One noble great tree was called the
“Mother," another the “Father," the
“Throo Graces," “Henry Ward
Beecher," “General Grant," etc., etc.
In this grove thcro nre ninety-nine
trees within eighty acres. We took
horses and rode six miles to tho “Son”
where wo saw the largest tree in the
world, “Old Goliah.” In this grove
thero are thirteen hundred and eighty
trees, none measuring less than six feet
in diameter. t
Wo rode onr eight horses into the side
of one tree that nnd been burned out;
the guide said there was room for ten
more, and we could well believe it, for
we did not take up one-third of the
room; and yet the fire had not affected
tho lifo of tlio tree ; there was enough
unconcerned. In

In tho midst of crushed ch:ur aid
broken bric-a-brac the robber went
down, with his assailant on top. The
robber struggled hard to rise, hut, being i
stronger, tlie occupant of the room soon
hod tno thief spread out at full length
with tho pillow on bis head. The con
queror’s wife struck a light as quickly
os possible and rang sharply for an at
tendant. When tho night clerk reached
the room he saw a thrilling tableaux, the
chief figure of which was a powerful
Othello strangling a male Desdemona m
the middle of the floor. But the scene
was set in comedy after all, for when the
pillow was removed the thief s fa®®
showed him to be the highly respectable
occupant of the adjoining aoom, a dear
friend of his assailant and altogether
above reproach. He simply had mis
taken the wrong room for the right one
and when knocked down was fumbling
about for a match.—Philadelphia.

Tint flowing reporter who wrote, with
reference to i well-known belle, “ Her
dainty feet were encased in shoes that
might 1m token for fainr boots,” tied his
wardrobe up In a handkerchief and left
for parts unknown when it appeared the
next morning: ' ‘Her dirty feet feet were
encased in shoes that might be taken for

A Youno lady who is studying French
lately wrote to her parents that she wm
invited to a dejeuner the doy before, and
was going to a fete champetre the next
day. Tho professor of the college was
surprised to receive a dispatch from the
“old man” a day or two after Myiug:
*• If you don’t keep my daughter away
from 'these menageries and side shows, I
will come down and see what ails her.”
It is amusing to watch a slim man
weigh himself. He steps on to the plot-
form as an elephant stop# upon a bridge,
with an awful fear of breaking the thing
down, and then puts the three-hundred-
pound weight on the end ot the beam.
Of course lie takes it off again, but he
does this unostentatiously. Having found
that he weighs, say, one hundred and
twenty, if you watch him carefully you
will see him slide the weight along to
one hundred and seventy-five. “ By
George!" he will exclaim as he goqa out,
“I’ve lost ten pounds since last week.”
Ho doesn’t say how much he weighs
now; if you wish to know, there laths
■cole. He knows you will look.
