Washington, June 22.— The June
report of the Department of Agricul
ture indicates a better prospect than
usual for wheat. The report of June,
1876, made the average for the coun
try 13 per centum below the stand
ard of normal condition, and subse
quent returns of condition and yield
were still lower, for forecasting the
scarcity which lias occurred. The
average for winter and spring wheat
together, is oue hundred, winter
wheat being above that figure and
spring wheat below it. Of the spriug
wheat, s>2 counties report 106, 117
above, and 137 below. The State
averages are as follows : Maine 101,
New Hampshire 102, Vermont 102,
Massachuseits 100, Rhode Island 100,
Connecticut 102, New York 108, New

Returns from California indicate

Fewer injuries from insects and

caused by the hessian lly.
THE LIQUOH QUESTION IN BOSTON.
THE M A VOH DETERMINED TO OFFER
HAYES WINE.
Boston, June 22.—A Committee of
ladies, representing the Women’s
Temperance Union, waited on Mayor
Prince to-day with a petition that no
intoxicating liquors be used at the
banquet to be given in honor of Pres
ident Hayes, by tho city of Boston.
Mrs. Livermore headed the delega
tion. The Mayor made an address,
the substance of which was as fol
lows: “I have been studying the
subject for tiiirty years, and know
that tho desire of the prohibi
tiouists cannot bo accomplished
ror the reason that it is not right
that it should be. I approve of the
moderate use of wine and liquor.and
as the Executiveof the city of Boston,
I have a duty to perform at the com
ing banquet and on similar occasions.
The city of Boston desires that every
courtesy shall . be extended to the
President, and I am determined that
nothing shall be left undone which
should contribute to the proper fes
tivities of the banquet. It is cus
tomary on similar occasions to fur
nish wine, and I shall certainly do so
in this instance.”

! From the Phtludetshia Frees ]
It is usual, among recent writers,
[ to name “The Cross" and “The Cres-
I cent” to distinguish the respective
j creeds in the present Turoo-Kussian
war. Iu fact, these several symbols
| plainly mark the Christian and the
Ottoman faiths. The question when
and why the Ottomans adopted the
Crescent has been much discussed
long before now. It was alleged t hat
Mohammed broke the disc of the
moon and caught hulf of it falling
from heaven in his sleeve—this is
stated in the Koran, and seems to in
dicate that Mohammed made the
young moon a sign of his divine au
thority. The crescent, or half
moon, with the horns turned
upward, was a religious symbol,
however, long before the Turkish
empire began. It was reported that.
Sultan O' liman, founder of that em
pire, A. D. P 299, dreamed that he saw
a crescent moon, wtiieh waxed until
its splendor illuminated the whole
world from east to west;that he then
adopted the crescent and emblazon
ed it on his staudard, with the motto,
Donee Repleat Orbem, or until it fills
the world.” But the eresoent moon
had been a symbol well known to
Hie ancient worshippers of Diana in
the ancient mythology of Greece aud
Rome. There are old statues of her
with the up-pointing orescent over
| her brow. Another account, is that
Philip of Macedon, father of Alexan
der the Great, was engaged one
dark night in uudermiuiug the walls
cf Byzantium, which he was be
sieging, aud bis operations were
discovered to those within by a sud
den appearance of a young moon,
aud that iu gratitude for this timely
light the Byzantines commemorated
the frustration of Philip’s hostile de
sigu by creating a temple to Diana,
aud by adopting her crescent as the
symbol of the St.at.o. It has also been
alleged that,, iu 1446, when the Turks
took Byzantium, they adopted the
crescent standard which they found
there and which the Janizaries had
borne for more than a century previ
ous. Undoubtedly, then, the cres
cent was the emblem of the Greek
previous to the superiority of toe
Turkish rule. Oddly enough, ut
the present day the cresceut is
to be seen on and in churches
in Moscow and other parts of
old Russia, generally surmounted by
the cross, thu3 unquestionably mak
ing the Byzantine origin of the Rus
sian Church. In 1801, the Sultan,
Selim 111., baviog previously pre
sented Lord Nelson with a crescent
richly adorned with diamonds,found
ed the order of the crescent, which,
as Mohammedans are not allowed
to carry such marks of distinction,
has been conferred on Chris 1 ians
alone. The Turkish order of Medji
die, founded bv Abdul Medjid, in
1852, and liberally contorted upon
French, English and Italian officers
after the Crimean war, bears a ere
scent and a silver sun of seven triple
rays. Assuredly the crescent dates 1
from the time of Eudymiou.
■.after lterr.
It seems, according to u newspaper
writer, t hat lager beer was introuuced
into the United Htates only thirty
years ago. That was about the time
the gre.t German immigration was
beginning, and our Teutonic friends
brought along with them their god,
Gambrinus, and certainly he has
been a welcome guest.
The history of beer carries us back
to the old Egyptians, who are said to
have invented it, as they did many
other things, including some of our
religious practices. They were a re
markable people, and doubtless Mo
ses learned much from them. Our
modern beer, however, dates back
only to the time of Charlemagne,
when hops were first cultivated in
Europe. The monks were the brew
ers or the Middle Ages, as they also
were the great agriculturists, and
they kept the secret of its inanut'ac
ture for a long period, enjoying the
exclusive privilege of coueocting a
liquor wtiieu has now become a fa
vorite drink of the civilized world,
aud out of whose brewing vast for
tunes have been made; so that in
Eugland the brewers stand n u xt to
the aristocracy in social consequence,
with abundant wealth to sustain the
position.
As early as the fourteenth century
Bavaria was celebrated for its beer,
and now it makes an article of a
quality not excelled in Germany. A
century later Haxon breweries be
came well kuowu, but the English—
next to the Germans, and, of late,
ourselves, the grear, beer drinkers
did not begin to manufacture the
beverage uniil later. In 1524, how
ever, they were making beer from
hops. The trouble with the English
beer is that it is too heavy and too
heady, and therefore a recent tem
perance advocate in England urges
the popularization of the German
lager, a much lighter and more in
nocent potation.
So important is beer brewing in
Germany that there has been estab
lished at Nuremberg a school of
brewers where all the mysteries of
the art ate taught, and it is a very
useful institution, more useful in
Tact than some more pretentious col
leges; for good brewers, like good
cooks, are a blessing to the race, and
though it may be necessary that they
should be born aod not made, yet
nothing commendable is done except
after training.
It is r> ally a fortunate circum
stance that lager beer is growing to
be so popular a drink with us. If it
shall drive out whiskey, and other
strong drink3, it will do more for
temperance than a regiment of
Goughs ami Murphys could aooom
plish, for it is well-suited to our ner
vous and sensitive people, while
whiskey, once known as the national
beverage, and still so largely con
sumed at the West and South, is the
worst drink men can consume.
Therefore we are glad to see how
vast, has been the increase in the
manufacture of lager beer in the
United States ; and, if all our citizens
would follow the example of the
hearty Germans in taking their
wives and children with them to the
beer garden when they seek convi
vial companionship, instead of sel
fishly going alone to a corner gin
mill, their morals would be better,
we should have fewer criminals, and
drunkenness would be far less than
it is.—A. Y. Sun

Kweurluir In Cromwell's Time.
Fra/.l**r's Magazine.)
Laws against swearing were strictly en
forced during the times of the common
wealth, and with the largest possible in
terpretation against tlie accused. We are
reminded of the reproof that Sir Walter
Scott put into the mouth of Cromwell—
“Whatcan it avail thee to practice a pro
family so horrible to the ears of others,
and which brings no emolument to him
who uses it?” Every oath was counted.
For a single oath the fine was (is Pd, but
the charge was reduced to 2s 4d eacli "on
taking a quantity. ’ Humphrey Trevett,
for swearing ten oaths, was committed
till he pays 33s 4d to the poor of Hart
ford. John Huishe, of Cherlton, was con
victed forswearing twenty-two oaihs and
two curses at one time, and four oaih, and
and one curse at another time.
Of course, the greater number of these
cases were dispos cl of at petty sessions
without being sunt for trial. One juslict
returned the names of ten persons whom
he bad convicted of swearing sineo the
previous sessions. We are not left with
out examples of what was considered
swearing those days. William Hearding,
of Chiltleliampton, tor saying two several
times in court "Upon my life,” adjudged
to he within the act of swearing, for
which he p.dd Os Bd. Thomas [Jutland
was fined for swearing "On my troatli.”
Gilbert Northcott had to pay 3s 4d. for
saying "Upon my life.” Thomas Courtis
was fined for swearing in Court "God is
is my witness,” and "I speak in the pres
ence of God ” Christopher Gill, being
reproved by Mr. Nathaniel Dusant, clerk,
"for having used the oath, God’s life, in
discourse,” went and intormed against
the minister himself forswearing!

'Hie C/.ar mill u I’nllsli Recruit.
The recruiting system of Ituss'a as it now
exists ('hough pressing heavily enough upon
a country which, with all its vast extent, is
very thinly peopled, and actually contains
fewer able-bodied men in proportion to its
numbers than either England, France or
Germany), is a trifle to what it was in the
days ofNlcholas, whose love of soldiering
we can hardly say warfare —amounted to an
absolute monomania. The reduction ol the
term of military service from twenty-live to
seven years, the comparative disuse of vari
ous cruel and odious punishments, the im
proved food and lodging of the common sol
tlier, and the extension ol the conscription to
all classes alike, even the hitherto privileged
nobility, have completely remodeled the
Russian service, and one may any day hear
the veterans of Nicholas, who happen to
have sons in the ranks, contrasting their ju
niors’ lot with their own: “Aye, the boys
are better off than we were. Seven years
instead of twenty five, and meat and cab
bage; soup instead of black bread, and next
to no flogging ; whereas in our time it was
all whips and sticks. If there was a but
ton crooked on our jackets in the days of
Father Nikolai, it was -To the guard-house
with him!" and from there to the scour
ges was only one step Times are changed
now!”
Enforced as it was with such rigor, the
conscription of Nicholas’ days naturally
gave rise N> not a lew strange and romantic
episodes, one of which is wei I worth quoting
il only as a proof that the "Soldier Emper
or,’ tyrannical as he undoubtedly was, had
h'S moments of kindness and generosity
When he was at Warsaw, shortly before the
outbreak of the Crimean war, in the course
of one of his flying journeys through Russia,
the officer of the day came to inform him
that a woman waited without who wished
to present a petition to him The Czar bade
him admit her, and a Polish woman entered,
clad in deep mourning, in a voice broken
with tears she told her story. She was a
widow with an only son, who had been torn
from her to serve in the army in direct vio
lation of the law excepting the only sons of
widows from 'lability to erili-tment. Nich
olas heard her patiently to the end. and bade
her return on the morrow, assuring her that
her case should be carefully considered. The
recruiting officer who had been concerned in
the alleged offense was next summoned, but
the latter stoutly asserted that the whole
story was a pure fabrication; that the widow
had in reality two sons, of whom lie had ta
ken the eldest, and that the complaint was
merely a ruse on the mother's part to keep
liotii her sons at home. In lies falsehood
he boldly persisted when confronted with her
\ tlie following morning, perceiving tins as his
only chance of escaping detection. Nicholas
looked decidedly nonplussed, ami the stall
ollieers began to exchange, in cautious w his
pers, various jocular allusions to the judg
ment of Solomon. But suddenly the Em
peror’s marble lace lighted up, and, turning
to tlie r eruiting officer, he said with omin
ous suavity: “You are ready to swear, then,
that this woman really has two sons, and
that you have taken the eldest!' “I swear it,
your Majesty,” answered the unabashed olfi
cer. "In that case,” rejoined the Czar, with
a grim smile, which showed how thoroughly
he appreciated the situation, “Russia must
not 10-e a soldier; give back the sou that
you have taken and enlist the other one!"

Ayer’s
Hair Vigor ,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
Itegs A dressing
original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness by this
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, tlie Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye. it does not soil white cam
laic, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.
