Hay and Potatoes. Amsiicaa Uuit.vator.] Tim bay ami potato crops of tbo United States for the year 1880 will prove larger than ever before in tile history of American agriculture, while the quality of both is fully equal to the best recorded in many years. Both are national crops— especially hay—the value of which is now next to that of wheat. The lmy crop ant junta to 35,000 - 000 tons.aud it has averaged sl3 50 per ton fora number of years past. In Maine the bay crop lor 1880 is ts imated ut 1,300,000 tons; New Y-'fli's crop will exceed 5,000,000 tous, worth about $03,0-0,000, and tt at of Pennsylvania, worth $35,. OOfl.OuO; that of Illinois about $25- 000,00. The value of the liny crop ot the U.uted States for 18S0 is es timated at $325,000,000. The wheat crop of ttie country, recoil and at $1 per bushel, represents this year about $475,000,000, It will ho seen that the hay crop of this country constitutes an important factor in our national growth, so far as agriculture is concerned. To potato crop of the country, will it is believed, roach 425,000,. 000 bushels this year, valued ay $100,000,000. New York, ns usual, leads in the cultivation of this escu lent, producing not loss than 25,- 000,000 bushels. Tli3 Laugh of a Child The laugh of a child will make the holi st dny most sacred, Strike with hands of tire, oh weird musi cian, thy herp strung with Apollo's eoldon hair; fid the vast cathedral ids es with symphonies swcot and dim, deft teacher of the organ keys; blow, bugler, blow, until thy silver nctes do touch and kiss tho moon lit waves and charm tho lovers wandering ‘mid vine-clad hills. But you know your sweetest strains are discords ull, compared with childhood's happy laugh—the laugh that fills the eyes with 1 ght and every heart with j iy. Oh, rippling river of laughter! thou urt the bless ed boundary line between beasts and men and every wayward wavo ol thine doth drown some fretful fiend of care.

Tho following resolutions were ndopte 1 by tho Methodist district confer nice in Savannah: Whereas, Tho highest function of civil government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens; and 'vhereas,a government that dos lives a revenue from licensing a hiißincHH that is destructive to both life and property is false to its most saend obligations; and whereas, the liquor traffic, now conducted under cover or legal license, is the direct ciuse of death lo thonsi’nds mid of the destruction of millions of dollars worth of property,therefore^ Resolved 1. That the state has no mor i 1 right to issue lioeuses to rum sillers. Resolved, 2.

The most remarkable specimen of cotton Commissioner Young found in the exposition was a vari ety known as the Bamicb, said to boa cross between tho okra plant and cotton. It is said to bo tho cus tom in Egypt to plant okra in the cotton fields. As the result uf this, a few years ago a planter discov ered ooiton bolls growing upon the stalks of okra. 110 gathered this and planted the seeds of the hybrid variety, and the rostill was a cotton short and coarse, but very prolific. The commissioner was told that this v nety produces at least one third more to the aero than the or dinary cotton of Egypt. The okra stalks ia much taller ancl stonger than the cotton stalk, and produces more and shortor branches. Tho staplo is short, coarse am) woolly, and tho seed aro blaok and small. It is probable that this variety might be planted with profit in the south; indeed, steps have been taken to tost it, and if it should prove a success, seed can be pros cured from tho commissioner of ag riculture.

Mgiers possesses a river of ver itable ink. Two streams, ouo start ing from a region where the soil is ferruginous, tte other from a peat swamp, meet and form tho river, whose inky constituency is due to the mixing of the iron and gallic acid which the two tributary streams respectively contain. - The season fot c.ir'yirtg fans is a great comfort to some women.
