The increase in the wheat crop last rear above the previous one was over 12,000.000 bushels, mostly in California and Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois. The grasshoppers are devastating the country near Silb.y and Worthington, Iowa. The same pests are in Colorado, though too young to injvlre small grain. * In England street trees are generally the property of the city, and are planted by the authorities and under the oversight of the oity councils, instead of being left to individual notion, as in our free country. Another Horse disease has broken out in Toronto, Canada, of the nature of typhoid fever, which is more deadly than the epizootic. It seems that Canada has au especial faculty for originating horse maladies. - 1 l a. 1 # a joone uuss is now exporreu irom Australia to England. It is compressed into blocks three inches thick and six inches square, weighing about six Sounds each. A ton of this compressed one dust occupies 26 cubic feet. The query occurs, if the millions of tons of bones now scattered over our Western plains oould not be thus manipulated and profitably sent to fertilize our Eastern lands. Mr. Mechi, the celebrated English agriculturist and merohaat, recently used these words: "It is precisely because British farmers have their customers, the British manufaaturers, at their doors, and that other food-producing oountries have not manufacturers,' that British agriculture is rich and thriving." It is positively asserted that the land . in California is growing poorer, just as though this were a marvelous statement. When crops have grown ten or fifteen vears there can be no other result. Besides, the pasture land has been overstocked, the wild oats have been eaten out, and only weeds take their place. In the foot hills the native grasses have been largely eaten out, and no other kinds come in. It is now proposed to sow alfalfa and keep sheep, and it is 6aid that by this means land worth 810 an acre can in a few years be made worth $300 an acre. If this is true they had better try it. A writer in a foreign agricultural paper says that " a sound Knowledge of the principles of his art is needed more urgently every year to enable the Euglish tanner to hold his own amid a development of social and mechanical force that threatens to sweep away all the landmarks.that have* long guided his practice." These words are just as applicable to our circumstances as to those of our cousins across the water, and would serve as a test for the consideration and study of every one who feels how much we have, as cultivators of the soil, to learn not only of our art itself, but of others with which it is so intimately connected. A correspondent of an English paper writing of Canada, thus refers 'to the effects of the partial destruction of the forests of tkatProvince : "The destruction of the neighboring forest has changed a fruitful land into a barren wilderness. Trees afford pretection from the cold and noxious winds. The early settlers in their small clearances surrounded by bush, coiild raise better melons in the open air than we could under glass. They raised better crops of every kind, the fertility of the soil being equal. Where now are our level winter roads ? Gone with the bush. A storm is kiug. One million of dollars would not compensate the Canadian farmer for the damage done by drifts on roads and wheat fields left bare of Bnow." Jlr- Mechi thinks very well of American agriculture, and in a recent letter in wbich he takes occasion to compare our pructices with those of his English co-laborers to the disadvantage of the llltter. he. talks in this wise ?? Their are ft wonderful, powerful, and rich people, for although only a century old, they outnumber us in population, and equal us in wealth, with only.half the amount of our national debt. Fortunately for them, they are not tied down by any ancient prejudices, but, as s mixed and generally educated, and consequently intelligent people, they sought the best way of doing things, regardless of pre" vious or ancient customs. Adding to the Foader. 5 There are many crops that may yet be sown which will add much to the supply of fodder in those districts in which it has been so greatly curtailed by the drouth. The Norfolk white turnip, the white globe, and other of the rapidly growing sorts may be sown successfully up to the 10th of August. Rape furnishes a most excellent forage crop, which may be cut and fed in the yard, cr inuy be pastured. For sheep and milch cows it is especially excellent, and will furnish good pickings until covered deeply with snow. White mustard is another valuable forage crop which may be sown now for fall feeding. This crop, however, should be prevented from seeding, as it is a great nuisance when once established in the soil. Ail those plants are much benefited by a light dressing of bone-flour and pluster, and three or four acres will help to carry u dozen cows or a flock of sheep through the difficulties which inevitably result from a dry summer and consequent barren pastures. itacktng Hay.; There are serious disadvantages connected with stacking hay and grain that deserves consideration. The labor that will put four loads of hay into a stack will put five into a fairly-constructed barn ; showers are very apt to pounce down upon a partly-finished stack, necessitating the building of a temporary top, which lias to be pitched off, dried, and restacked in the shape of damaged liay. Many a load can be drawn into a barn before a shower that would be wet before it could be stacked, and the outer portion of a stack, however carefully constructed, will always be injured to some extent. It is not probable that the art of stacking is carried to its highest perfection by the average farmer, but should it be, the disadvantages I have named would exist? enough, I think, to make barns economical. The Franklin (N. H.) Journal tells a story of haying by night in Cauteibury. A farm there was unfairly obtained from a dying man, in fraud of thewidow and orphan, and the pretended purchaser, who resides in Manchester, recently came up to cut the hay thereon. He got his mowing machine ready for use the next moining, and retired. That night about twenty men and women turned out and did up the haying by moonlight, aod the next morning when the Manchester man appeared, he found his grass had disappeared. A California Romance. The old government buildings on Washington street, San Francisco, are making way for the appraisers' stores, and with them will disappear the moldy , book venders, the candy merchants, and j those traders who have so long made , this their rendezvous. There is a little . story in connction with these buildings ; which the writer learned from a gentle- ' man who knew the parties concerned. 1 Like many of the incidents which occur 1 daily in this country of change and ex- . citement, it has a strong spice of ro- 1 mance, and would not furnish a bad ' plot for the writers in the sensational f weeklies. i Every day for five years, no matter ] how heavily the winter rain came down, 1 or the gusty summer wind swept from 1 the liill-tops, an old man took np his J position near the post-office, and sat 1 until dusk behind his tray of assorted j candies. Children on their way to mail ' or demand letters patronized the old 1 UtUlUJ lUUIWUUUb, XJ.C 0|y|/ttwtu wv DUUU acquaintanceships with, his professional * brethren, and no matter what novelties 1 they introduced in their business, he 1 kept aloof from competition, and ad- ' hered strictly to the legitimate sweet* 8 stuffs. t Among his customers came one day a * bright-eyed, neatly-dressed urchin, who 1 put down his five centB, and boldly de- 8 inanded its equivalent in molasses can- 1 dy. While the old fellow wrapped it 1 up in a scanty piece of brown paper, he 8 looked wistfully into the urchin's eyes. J The t oy took his candy an 1 went off 8 with his mouth full. The next day the * little ohap turned up again, and again ? purchased his five cents' worth of candy. 1 One morning the candy merchant, while c wrapp4ng up his young customer's pur- T chase, asked the name of his patron. * The little fellow gave it. I The candy man immediately removed 8 his tray to the care of a fellow merohaut 8 and told the boy that he would accom- r pany him to his mother's house. The I boy conducted him t<^a pleasant resi- c deuce on Bryant strret. His mother opened the door, and the very moment 8 her eyes fell on the candy merchant, 1 she threw her arms around him, and 1 sobbing violently, callen him " father." It appears that at one time the candy 1 man was a well-to-do merchant in Port- j; land, Maine. His eldest daughter T eloped with a gambler, a man who had ' a very hard reputation in that town, j 8 On coming t j California, he gave his * regular encounters with the "tiger." i 8 and devoted himself to speculating in * mining stocks. ? He was fortunate, grew wealthy, 1 bought real estate, and won the name 8 of being an honorable and generous 8 man. His wife wrote back to Portland, 8 but her letters were returned, for her father had failed in business, her moth- ' er was dead, and the other members of 8 the family settled in New York. The 8 old man then went to California, not ^ knowing of his daughter's whereebouts, j and, after many unsuccessful efforts, finally went into selling candy. Borne 8 thing in the little boy's face reminded 8 him of his daughter, and when he heard \ the name he remembeafed the handsome gambler against whom he had so often warned his child. The reunion was a very happy one, and the candy profession has lost one of its members. The Mound-Builders. The work of the mound-builders in the vicinity of Vincennes, Iud., is beiDg investigated at the present time under the direction of Profs. Charlton, Townsend, and others. The exploration of i the largest one was begun by making an entrance from the top, which is to be carried down probably about sixty ; feet. A local paper says. "At ten feet below the surface a bed of charcoal was found, and below this there were remains of bones, which were almost ; completely decomposed, indicating their ' great antiquity. As soon as touched they fell into dust. Perhaps at a greater depth bones may be exhumed which are better preserved. The earth in the mound is found to be exceedingly compact aud dry, well calculated to preserve , the bones, but they are in a state of almost complete decay. This is a proof of great age, as human skeletons have been taken from burial places in England which were much less favorable for preserving them, and yet they were sound and well preserved, though they were known to be nearly 2,000 years old. The crumbling and decayed bones that were exhumed from the mound i no doubt belonged to the old Toltec ' race which inhabited this locality about 3,000 years ago; and it is hoped that some well preserved bouea and other 1 remains representing that ancient race 1 may be exhumed from this mound. A Fight with a Horse. A teamster named Joe Allen, living on Woodbridge street, East, purchased a horse in Genesee County a few days ago, and finding the animal ugly and obstinate, he made preparations on Sunday to break liis spirit. Arming himself with a heavy whip and a club, Allen went into the stable about ten o'clock on Sunday morning and pro- j ceeded to business. The animal bit at nim as he tried to enter the stall, and i Allen stood back and " peeled" him ! with the whip. The horse kicked and pawed for awhile, and then sagged back, snapped the halter, and came out ; ou the floor with a business look in his eye which was truly appalling. Allen 1 retreated back after seeing an open 1 mouth snapped together about an inch 1 from his nose, and he just escaped two feet intended to remove the the top of his head. By shouting and whipping, j he frightened the horse back a few feet, and he then got under the stairs, where 1 for about half an hour, or until his wife could gather a crowd, he was held pris ouer, having all he could do to keep the horse from drugging him out.?Detroit Free Pre.**. Lebanon and the Shaker*. 1 A correspondent of the Now York World, who has visited New Lebanon and the Shakers, makes the following statement: The Shnkers have greatly decreased J in strength. In fifteen years one-half of their number have died or deserted. 1 They have few converts, and the larger 1 portion of the whole community are ! aged members. Formerly they were j able to do all their work among themselves, but now the greater amount of | their labor is hired from outside. The completion of the railroad?bringing them into closer communication with other people?has been their death- 1 blow. They are doomed to pass gradu- 1 ally away, and I do not doubt but that 1 a few years will see their fine large 1 buildings, fitted with all modern con- ' veniences, used as boarding-houses for summer visitors.

Senator Morton iB at Washington for the purpose of availing himself of the facilities of the Congressional Library md certain- unprinted records of Congress in preparing his report for the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections, of wh&lu he is chairman, upon the proposed election of the President and Vice-President of the United States by direct vote of the people, ihitead of by the intervention of theEleclorial Colleges. The Senator is accompanied by the committee clerk, and intends to devote the ensuing days of his jojourn to arduous research andannota;ion upon the matter now uppermost in lis political thotlghts. He intimates ;kat lliS bill and supporting speec 1 of ast session contains the substance of lis mature thought and investigation lpon the subject, but recognizing the ;ruth of the remark of his industrious predecessor in this particular field of *eform, Senator Benton, that a select >ody like Congress is always inert on Juestipns which propose to restore to ie body of the people priviliges which hey have granted away, he intends to prepare and submit for the adoption of lis committee such a report as will go 'inging through the country and arouse iress and people to the demanding sither of a constitutional amendment, ?rnnoRpd hv Concrress to the State Leg slatures, or by the State Legislatures 0 each other and to CoDgress. The lenator, too, finds no cause of regret in lie fact that for once in his Senatorial :areer he is engaged in an important cork that is neither sectional nor purtian, and which nothing bilt the worst >olitical malignancy can construe into a 1 design for his own advancement beore the country. At the best, be claims 10 more than a ready perception of a >opular discontent with nominating sonventions that cannot much longer indure, and a willingness to meet such i sentiment half way. Mr. Morton's, ilan of reform, which is that of dividing he States into Presidential districts of qual population andcontigious territoy, and giving each district a single *ote for President and Vice-President, could, in his opinon, if adopted before he summer of 1876, strike such a blow it the caucas tyranny of party convenions that Csesarism, if there should be iny danger of it under the existing elecoral plan, would be impossible, or, chat is the same thing, possible only n the event of the masses being as mamored of the idea of perpetual iffica-holding as the army of officelolders now in possession. Senator Morton, in his reports, intends to go back to the debates in the Constitutional Convention over the node of electing the President and Vice President, and show how the best and nost logical minds there present, at the lead of whom was the illustrious Frankin, pointed out the inconvenience and langers of the method that prevailed, md argued eloquently for entrusting ;he people directly with the determina;ion of the one question that really conserned them more than snv other in the federal system. He will show, too, the iiistaken reasons on which the conservatives in the convention carried the point and fashioned their Presidential jlectiou upon the aristocratic models of ;he Venetian and Genoese Republics, while fearing that they had already conferred too much direct political power ipon the general mass of the people. He will refer to the cases of Jefferson ind Burr and Adams and Jackson to il ustrate his assertion that the Electoral College system, besides being useless as i medium of selecting men of better character and attainments than could be liscerned by enthusiastic and unthinking direct voters, can become, through intrigue, so dangerous as to precipitate 2ivil war, and that such danger grows with the lapse of time, and is, by the nature of the system, more dangerous now than ever, and will be so hereafter. The district system is supported by the Senator in preference to the plan preferred by others of giving every voter in every State a direct and independent vote for President and Vice President, because it gives more practical force to the wishes of contiguous communities and interests, and restrains the power of such log rolling combinations as carry prohibitory tariffs and fraudulent internal improvement bills. This was the plan recommended by an illustrious Senate committee that sat upon the question nearly fifty years ago and brought in a report that contrasted the merits of both plans of voting; and though the logical argument is admitted to lie apparently on the side of individual voting, the practical view of the question demonstrates that the result of a vote by districts organized as proposed would be much nearer a pure, impartial expression of the popular wjll. Senator Morton expects to carry his committee unanimously for his plan, and hopes to advance the measure considerably before Congress as ^arly as next session. A Strange Sight at Sea. Intheyear 1785, the captain of a Greenland whaling-vessel found himself at night surrounded by icebergs, and "lay to" until morning, excepting every moment to be ground to pieces. In the morning he looked about, and saw aRhip near by. He hailed it, but received no unswyr. Getting into a boat with some of his crew, he pushed out for the mysterious craft. Coming alongside the vessel, he 6aw through the port-hole a man at a table, as though keeping a logbook, frozen to death. The last date in the log-book was 176*2, showing that the ressel had been drifting for thirteen rears among the ice. The sailors were found, some frozen among the hammocks, and others in the cabin. For thirteen years this ship had been carrying its burden of corpses?a drifting sepulchre manned by a frozen crew. The Shah's Advice. The Shah lias clear views as to persons likely to endanger thrones. He therefore thought he was doing the kindly and correct thing when he told the Prince of Wales, as one potentate might tell another, that the undoubtedly proper manoeuvre for Him to periorm on the Duke of Sutherland was at once to kill him, for the obvious reason that u subject so rich and powerful as the Duke could not exist without endangering the throne. "Or," said the Shah, " if you cannot cut his throat, at leasi 7on can put out his eyes." And when told that this, if not improper, would still be regarded as discourteous, he settled into the conviction that there could be little security for a dynastj which possessed so little authority ovet its subjects. They had a frost in Dubuque, Iowa, one morning last week. Sunstroke. Prof. Youmans, in the last Popular Science Monthly, fnrnisheB some information about sunstrokes with which many persons ore not likely to be familiar. Be says it may be experienced without exposure to the direct rays of the snn; it attacks people in hospitals, vessels, and often in the night men in bed, who have retired in apparent health. It is produced by exposure to artificial heat, as in the laundry of a hotel. Heat is the principal exciting -ause, but other conditions aid it, as overcrowding nnd insufficient ventilation, and exhaustion produced by prolonged exqftion. Want of acclimatization is a predisposing cause ; and spirit-drinkers are more lia* ble to it than abstainers. A victim of sunstroke should be taken immediately to the shade; out-doors is better than in-doors, on account of the ventilation ; the clothes should be stripped from the body, and the head, neck and chest should be continually drenched with cold water, until there is a perceptible diminution of the temperature of the body. The patient should be encouraged to drink freely. To avoid sunstroke, the fnnction of the skin should be keot free by bathing ; hard labor in a highly heated atmosphere should be shunned ; the dress worn should be light and loose-fitting, and the hat light and so made as to permit a free circulation about the top of the head. Cruelty. A case, which in some respects will call to mind that of Casper Hauser, lately came under the attention of a Russian court, wherein a nobleman named Kirill Michaelow Urusoff was tried for ilJ-treatment of his Bon. The nobleman, who was utterly given over to drinking, had, from the boy's earliest childhood till his eighteenth year, subjected him to all sorts of violence, until at last he became an idiot. The child 1 never had a sleeping place, had been clothed summer and winter with only a j linen shirt and trousers, suffered the extremities of hunger, thirst, and cold, and, bound hand and foot, been beaten by a drunken brute until almost dead Shortly after the boy's birth the mother was driven from home by cruelty, and died at last of consumption in a hospital. TLe jury brought the wretch in guilty, and he was sentenced to be deprived of all peculiar rights and privileges and ten years of exile in Siberia. PAIN 1 PAIN 1 I PAINI11 WHERX IS THY BELIEVER?

THE GRAND PA One of the most marked institutions of the p outgrowth of life in our larger centers of J population is the great hotel, and no feature is more notable and remarkable in now Chi- 1 cago than the vast caravansaries that are to p make her the hotel city of the continent. The s largest of these, and "the largest hotel struc- 1 ture in the world is the Qrand Pacific, a cut f of which we give in this issue, at once the 1 pride and tlie marvel of the Garden City. Its ? immense size and elegance are well indicated c in the engraving, and very reliable in suggest- r iveness as to the appointments and adorn- c ments of the interior. The Grand Pacific cov- t ore an area of 64,000 square feet, an entire ? block, bounded by Clara, Jackson, LaSalle i and Qtiincy streets. Opposite, on Clark street. 1 is rapidly rising the vast Government building, ? also occupying an entire square.

The carpets of the house. Axminstvr, Aubisson, Wilton and English Brussels, are all in new styles, and largely in special designs, and aggregate over six acres. The beautiful carpets of the corridors, eleven feet wide, amount to over a mils in length. The features of the hotel that most striao the visitor and guest are the two immense interior courts, used respectively for the grand office and the office arcade. Tho , A schoolboy being requested to write a composition upon the subject of " Pins," produced the following : Pins are very useful. They have saved the i lives of many men, women and children j ?in fact, whole families. How so ? asked the puzzled teacher ; and the boy replied?Why, by not swallowing them. This matches the story of the other boy, who defined salt as the stuff that makes potatoes taste bad when yon don't put on any. No More Heroics.?The deadjy vegetable alkaloids such as Mercury, Strychnine, and Prussio Acid cannot cure disease or produce any but the most disastrous results. Perhaps no event^has occurred of (late years which is so well calculated to disabuse the public mind of a belief in the efficacy of mineral poisons and bleeding as the discovery of Dr. Walker, of California, of certain medicinal herbs, whose healing principles he has extracted and combined in the form of Viveoar Bitters. The cures wrought by it seem marvelous. Its action is mild and agreeable, but at the same time rapid and effectual, aud being unimpeded by the presence of alcohol or fermented liquor of any description, is attended with results hitherto unachieved by any remedial agent.
