Mixed Crop Reports. What the Prospects Are for Industriom* Work¬ er* Everywhere. [From the Boston Transcript.] A general survey of the whole coun¬ try shows that the crop of campaign lies will be au abundant crop this season. In Maine, a goodly portion of last year’s for stock remains on hand to make up any lack in the approaching harvest. In the Southern States, very little acreage had been put down, the market being abundantly supplied from the North, and as such things are looked upon as a luxury rather than a necessity, the demand below Mason and Dixon’s line will prove less than herltaibae. -New York promises a full crop, while Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois follow in the order named.

John Hancock, LL.D., was born in 1737, died 1793, aged 56 years. He was the first of the signers of the Declaration of American Independence, a son of John Hancock, of Braintree, and the grandson of John Hancock, of Lexington.

Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President, spent Sunday in this rity. Ho is en route to Scotts boro’, Ala., where he will speak to¬ morrow, inaugurating He the canvass in that State. was interviewed by a Times reporter, and Bpoke very can¬ didly of the coming campaign. He is confident of his ability to carry Ala¬ bama, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, West Virginia, Missouri and Arkansas, and says he will make heavy gains in Maryland, lows, Michigan and Minne¬ sota. He says that 'if he does not re¬ ceive the mrjority of the electoral votes neither of the other candidates will, and the matters will again go to the House of Representatives. If thrown in the House he will stand an- equal chance with - the rest. Mr. De La Matyr, be claims, has the balance of power there, and no concessions will be made by his party favorable to either the Democrats or Republicans. In the event of no agreement being reached there the matter will become a consti¬ tutional question, and it shall be with the Senate what disposition will be made of it. He says he will stump every State he can before the election but will confine himself to uo section, Kearney, he says, will lend him all liis support and give him California beyond a doubt. The Man Who Discovered Gar¬ field. —The original Garfield man in the Convention was Mr. W. A M. Grier, of Hazleton, Luzerne county, one of the delegates from the eleventh district. Mr. Grier is a middle age gentleman and a member of the bank¬ ing firm of Pardee, Markle & Grier. For many years he has taken a deci¬ ded interest in politics, and he is known throughout the district which he rep¬ resented as an intelligent and active Republican. Mr. Grier has a slight personal preference for Blaine, but in a conversation with a representative of the Press, he stated just before the met, that he inteuded to his out by letter the feeling tbrough out district and vote according!v. -Philadelphia Press. -m m- w An Irishman entered the Newark Advertiser office and asked the clerk to "nte an advertisement for him. “I lost me dog,” he said.

The President and the Pacific Coast. [Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Suu.l Washington, July 12, 1880.—Some of the radical leaders are anxious that the trip of the President to California next mouth shall be turned into an electioneering tour- in the interest of the Republican Presidential nominees, It is represented here that the Repub* licans on the Pacific coast are not very enthusiastic over the Chicago nomina tions, and that something must be done or the party in California and Oregon will be largely in the minority on elec tion day in November. It is proposed, therefore, that the President while on the Pacific coast shall deliver at least one speech in favor of the election of General Garfield, and urge all those who have heretofore trained under Re publican banners to stand steadfast by the party and vote to give it anoth er lease of power. Whether the Presi dent will consent to this arrangement or not the future alone can tell, but some of the most active Republicans assert that he will not ignore the pres sure which is certain to be brought upon him to do something while on the Pacific coast to infuse* life into.thh party there. It is <part of the pr<N gramme, also, to send Senator Blaine to California after the Maine election in September, and it is maintained that his presence will insure the elec ral vote of the Pacific States for Gar field. Up to the present time not one of the Republican leaden has manifes¬ to the slightest desire to enter active-1 ly in the campaign, and this fact chilled the ardor of many, of General Garfield’s personal friends, and they are inquiring as to what it all means. It it believed that at the conference between Garfield and Mr. Jewell and ex-Senator Dorsey, the respective lican chairman National and secretary of the plan Repub¬ Committee, a of the campaign will be agreed upon. 1 San Francisco’s Wonderfub Growth.—T he San Francisco Chroni¬ cle, of June the 29 th, with tfie work of the enumerators bable nearly completed, estimated the pro¬ including population of that city at 280, 000, between 17,000 and 18,000 Chinese. If these figures are proximately by correct, and they are borne out a local estimate made in 1879, which fixed the population at 200,000, San Francisco has increased her popu¬ lation in a larger ratio during the last decade than any of the other great oities of the country, the gain being 88 per cent, since 1870, when the pop¬ ulation was 149,473 In 1860 the pop¬ ulation of the city was 56,802. In 1850 the city was incorporated, but there is no accurate census, while in 1847 the town had a population of only 450. Queen Marguerite, of Italy, while driving in the environs of Naples, lost her way. A peasant was questioned by the ‘Marquis of Monterano, who accompanied the Queen, and his an¬ swers majesty being ordered prompt and intelligent, her be a forty-franc piece to presented to him in her name. The gold peasant, on learning from whom the piece came, lost altogether the faculty of speech. Next day he pre¬ sented himself at the royal palace, and was admitted to the garden where Marguerite was playing with her child, the Prince of Naples. He told her, in his queer dialect, that he had brought her back the gold piece as he could in noway accept money from ter; hut that he would be perfectly satisfied she would become godmother to bis two 1 motherless little girie at their approach urg 8 confirmation uuuu^miuu.

A rude man, who was told that « certain lady was a ‘little injudicious, .aBked his informant whether he had ^r knOWn a judicious Woman If such a question that were put to us, we should reply we knew not only judicious but over-judicious women. We might even add that we know women who are harmless as wise as doves. serpents, though not as as But whether women are always injudicious, or, as we main tain sometiakes the contrary, it must, we should think, be generally admitted that they are occasionally jealous, When one lady is jealous of another she about instinctively her, and talks a great deal the general drift of her remarks under such circumstances must be pretty familiar to every one whose acquaintanceship male It is not confined to the sex. is certain that she will never admit her jealousy ; but beyond that there is no saying what observa tions she may make about her enemy ;' nor will she miss any opportunity of saying an unkind word of her. She will generally contrive, however, that pone of her weapons of attack shall be g0 damaging as her praise. She will allow that her enemy is beautiful— beautiful as a tigress—but she will af £rm that she is wicked ; she will admit Ifiat she is amusing, but she will da c lare her to be ill-natured ; if she calls hey innocent, she also calls her silly; and if she praises her as true-hearted and trustworthy, she stigmatizes her as unsympathetic and uninteresting, A Child’s Pride. a St. Louis paper tells a touching of school life. It illustrates both the longing ot children to appear as well as their schoolmates and the men¬ sufferings the St. incident Louis to poverty. In of public schools many of the children who came from a distance were accustomed to bring a lunch, and thus save a long walk home to dinner. They generally ate it to¬ gether and had a merry time. Among those who stopped one of the teachers noticed a little girl who never brought any lunch, but who looked wistfully at the her playmates as they were eating noon meal. But one day the girl brought her bundle also, wrapped in paper. At noon she did not go with the others, but remained at her desk as if preferring to eat alone. The teach¬ er thinking her unsocial, advised her to go to the lunch' room with her play¬ mates, and walked to the desk to takfe her bundle. Butthe little girl burst ing into sobs said : “Don’t touch it; teacher; and oh, teacher, don't tell, please. It’s only blocks.” The poor girl had no dinner to bring, but wish¬ ed to keep up “appearances,” so as not to seem unlike her schoolmates. And She was one of the best scholars in the school. She was very dear to her teacher’s hear! after that incident. Fleas and Other Things.—To the genuine savage no insects are noxious not even those bloodthirsty parasites which we call by the general name of “vermin." A savage cares nothing for vermin of any kind, and it is not un¬ til man is far removed from savages that he begins to object to their pres¬ ence. Ooe African traveler, for ex¬ ample—I think the late Mr. J. Baines —was hospitably entertained in the hut of a Kafir chief. During the night he was awakened by the most intolerable pricking sensation all over his body. On starting up he found that bis host, with the kindest inten¬ tions, had spread bis own kaross, or fur cloakt over hi9 gllest .

There are men in Paris, birds of a feather with chiffonier, who go from hospital to hospital collecting the lin¬ seed plasters that have served the turn of doctor and patient; afterward pres¬ sing the oil from the liu 80 ed*.and dis¬ posing of the linen,; after bleaching it, to. the paper maker., Others intake a eouple of francs a day by collectin old corks, which being cleaned an pared fetch, it is said, half a franc per 100.; If this be so, it would be worth sorhebody’s while to go cork collecting in London and other large towns. A lady resident of the Faubourg St. Ger¬ main is credited with earning a good incombe by hatching red, black, and brown ants for pheasant preservers. OneParisian gets his living by breeding maggpts out of the foul meats be buys of the chiffoniers, / and fattening them up in tin boxes. Another breeds mag¬ gots for the special behoof of night¬ ingales; and a third “marchand d'asticots" boasts of selling between 30,000,000 and 40,000,000 worms every He season for piscatorial Montmartre, purposes. wherein owns he a keeps great his pit at Every bring store. fresh day his scouts him stock, for which he pays them irom 5d. to lOd. per pound, according to quality, double re* selling them to anglers at thereby just those rates, and clearing some¬ thing over $300 a year. Sparrows Fighting With Stones —A aitizen of the West End, in every way worthy and reliable, has sent us the following interesting statement of a singular fact he has,often observed in reference to English sparrows: “The writer has a son who has a pigeon-box. Out of a whim he fas¬ tened upon the front of- it a piece of looking glass, perhaps a fourth of a square foot in size. this box, Some and English sparrows built in took up image all their of tbeihselves spare time in in the fighting glass.

Emotional Insanity.— -A Galveston S enfcleman had occasion to go into a entist’s shop to have himaelf a tooth pulled. In order to nerve up to the ordeal the sufferer had taken several strong drinks of whisky. The dentist, who had never seen the suffeier before, examined the tooth and then retired tor a few moments< into the baok room. When the dentist reappeared he had two revolvers and a bowie knife, strap¬ ped on his person. After plaeing a large shotgun in a convenient corner the dentist approached the sufferer with the forceps. "What in the name of heaven does ail this mean?” gasped the man in the chair. “When a man’s breath smella of emotional insanity, like yours, I am not goiug to exasperate him unprepared. You may be Jim himself, for all I know.” As the dentist was afterward seen alive on the streets the inference is that Currie is not in Galveston. Here is a fine case of how children cram definUions full of much bigger words than the thing defined, without knowing anything about it. The geo¬ graphies define the equator as an im¬ aginary line passing around the earth,” &c., and the children of a N**w York school knew it first-rate, to the entire sstisfation of the teacher, but one day a visitor asked them bow wide they thought the equator was. Some thonght it was 5,000 mi let wide, others 2,000, and others said they could jump over it. The visitor then asked how they thought ships got over it. One papii said he thought they got out and drew them over, and another said he had read tbat a canal had been dug through it. “Wliat is the name of the canal?” was asked. “The Suez Canal,” was the answer, Died at Her ^ Father , b Grave — On Saturday last, Mrs. Houk attend ed her father’s funeral, at Summerfield Church, Grayson county, \ a.
