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.

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

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.
In the press and will shortly appear?
Several flue doable Qlo'ster aheewes.
The Presidency of the U. S.
Senator Hoi-ton's Plan of Electing the
President and Vice-President.
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.

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. The cures of Bilious Complaints,
Malarious Fever, Dyspepsia,
Rheumatism, Scrofula, and all diseases
arising from impurities of the blood,
attest the paramount excellence of this
medicine, and justify us in recommending
it.?[Com.

What We Need When Debilitated.
Appetite and digestion languish at tbii leaion.
( At tbe verv time when the body molt need! renovation
and support, tbe stomach. in cumrainaiiat
department, ia apt to prove delinquent. Under
- inch circumstances the necessity for a wholes* me
stlmuliut, tonic and corrective is self-e vi Jent, and
comequently the demand tor that peerless comblI
nation of the three required elements, Ilostelter's
' Stomach Bitters, Is never more urgent than at
' midsummer.
> It is true that a few medical bigots?fossils " left
over'' from th i dark ages-recommend violent pur'
gatton and water giuel as a cure for indigestion
' and its accompanying tils; but they make few
proteinics. The majority of the community are I
sane, and all sane people are aware that a pure and i
powerful vegetable tonic with alterative propertiea,
like Hostetter's Bitters, ia the only cure fur
d>apepaia, biliousncsa. constipation, nervousness
' and the " consequential damages," they inflict.
The human intellect, unless hopelessly diseased
or egrrgiously humbugged, declines to astonish
the weakened human stomach with fierce cathartics
that, rushing like an avalanche thiough the
| intestines, threaten to take the inner membrane
i with them. To use a significant catch phrase the
i knock down-and-drag-outmethodscftrcutmentare
I ' played out."
t It ia c loarly understood that aTnedlcated stimui
lant is easenti.il to tho renovation c f an exhausted
frame and that you cannot strengthen man or
. woman hv dosing them with prostrating preparations.
This is an era of c-nmmou sense, and common
sense approve* of Hostetter's Bltteis as the
best article i xtant fir invigorating, regulating and
purifying the system and defending it against
' p oson in the atr we breathe, or the water we
drink.

herbs found on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- _ ,

are extracted therefrom without^ the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost m
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit- IH
te rs ?" Our answer is, that they remove H
the cause of disease, and the patient re
