The I number of mortgages filed for record al- ? most equals all other documents. The unemployed can find nothing to do and the army of tramps is receiving large ac cessions. On the other hand, our houses are full, farms are well tilled and har vests have been uniformly good for years \ entura county is rich in houses and lands and has rich goods in store. Why. then, is there universal complaint of a money famine? Simply because trans portation of our produce to the consum- i er is carried on at a price that is ruinous to us and that yields a profit of 40 per cent, to the railroads. This and the in famous combination? of speculators who control the chief markets to suit their ca price, is the cause of the distress that has at last aroused the people to remon strance and perhaps rebellion. If the busine<?3 men are shrewd enough to see where their interest lies they will join with the Alliance in demanding a com plete revolution in the financial and transportation system of the country.

News From the Entire United States Reported By the Hon. Eli Perkins, Philosopher and Lecturer. y N. Y. Citt.? On the Erie train last mght was Eli Perkins, just arrived from an extensive trip down through the Southern States ?'Yes," he said to a Sun reporter, '3 am just from Texas and Missouri, via Charleston, Savannah, Atlanta, Birming ham. Vicksburg, San Antonia, Galveston, the staked Plains of Texas. Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri, and I can give you the last nexs from the entire United States. What do you want to know?1' "Well, how are the crops?" "The immense cotton crop is swarop ingthe entire South. They raised 9, 009*000 bales, and a million bales more thau the world wants. The price has fallen from 10 cents to 5$ in Texas, and the surplus is piled up around the sta tions with no one to buy it." "Who is hurt by the low price?" "The cotton merchant. Many farm erasddat eight cents, but ruin stares the\Soutbern merchant in the face. The entire South is suppressed, and they cry out ftp the North for sympathy I saw 80,000 bales piled up in fort9nrtU.v The Red and Brazos rivers are lined with it. The farmer's corn bin ie empty, and the merchants who have not failed are no- able to carry him through another xrop. Meetings are beingtield all over the South recommending the restriction of the crop this year." "How do they expect te rv strict it?" 4 Bj putting in more iugar. rice and corn. The price dropped too late for a wheat crop. They arc in froub'e in thf sugar country in Tex.i3 and Louisiana, because just as they want to plant more sugar Mr. Breckiuridge of Kentucky jumps up in Washington and offers a resolution to take the ^vo-cent bonus off of sug r. This would destroy the sugsr industry and throw a million more bales of -cotton upon the market. Then South Carolina, which used to make 1,' 00,000 ban els of rice, aud Louisiana, which made 900,000 barrels of rice, want a tariff against cheap Chinese lice, which has about broken up American lice planting." 4 What argument do they use in speak ing of a tariff on Chinese rice and Egyp tian cotton?" "They say: 'You Yankees put a tar iff on tobicco and wheat to ne'p your farmer, and why can't we have a tarifi on Chinesejice?' " "How iathe winter wheat crop?" "I bring^ood news about wheat," said Mr. Perkins. "It is simply superb everywhere. I have not seen such a stand of wheat in sixteen years. The last Government report was made when there was srme doubt about wheat. But thete have been recent warm rains from Nort^ Carolina to the Staked Plains in Texas, and1 every kernel sowed has come up. It c^uld not be better in Kentucky and Tennfes-see, and the farmers in Texa?, Ar kansas, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, In diaui and Ohio have told me within four days that they never had such a prospect. The wheat is short. It hugs the ground, but it is even. and looks just as they want it to look for a splendid crop. Along j the Atchison and Missouri Pacific roads, clear into Colorado, the ground is soaked with a lon?, warm rain. "Did you see any political changes?" "Yes; the Farmers' Alliance is peter ing out like the old Greenback party, j They have all come out for free silver, and Weaver, the old Greenback candi- { date, is their man for the Presidency. ! The Farmers' Alliance in Texas legislat ed against aliens holding property in the State, and millions of dollars were driven out of Texas. The Tesans blame Gov ernor ?Fogg,the Alliance Governor, for all the depression in Texas. Clarke, who is no v running against Hogg will be tri umphantly elected Governor. lie says: 'Hogg drove out the Scotch and English aliens, and they now let their money to the Yankees at four per cent , and the Yankee comes down and lets it to the Texan at 10 per cent.' The Alliance fel lows in Kansas have so ruined the State by talking repudiation aud free silver that almost all mortgages in Kansas are now written 'payable in gold.'" "What about the old Southern Demo crat?" "The old cast-iron Democrat has given up Cleveland. The 'Stuffed Prophet' never enthused them, and now that he has spoken free silver the Democrats have dropped him. They have also began to talk about Gorman. They say Gorman can carry the solid South and all the sil ver States because he traded his silver in fluence with Wolcott for votes age*'.:* the Election bill.' " "Did jou see anrvU?ng funny in the South ?" "I found the Texan is given to making fun of the Arkansan. The Rev. Dr. Pritchett, President of the Normal Col lege at Huutsville, told me that he ask ed a passenger, on the Texas Pacific where he came from. " 'Whar'd I kum from?1 repeated tht man, 'why, you're the twentieth man that's asked that today. I kum from Ar kansaw. Now, dog on you, laugh!' " "At Texarkana, where they burned the negta at the stake," continued Eli, "I saw it little Texas boy in the depot. Patting him on the head, I asked inquir ingly : " 'Are you a good little bov?: " " 'You bet I am.' he said proudly. 'I'm the best boy in Texas; you ask mv father and mother.' " 'Do you say your prayers\yery day?' I continued. ; > " 'Nc?, not every day,' he said thought fully. 'I didn't say 'cm yesterday, am? I havn't said Ym today? and? if I get along pretty well I shan't say Yin enny more 't all.' " - Why not?' " "'O. caus' paw and maw 's goin' to live up in Arkansaw.'" Lynching: Hear Gainesville.

Senator Morrill, ot Vermont, clared Oat ot Danger. SENATOR MORUILI* Senator Morrill, of Vermont, after being in imminent danger of death for a week or ten days at his home in Washington, was at last declared by his physicians to have passed the crisis and to be on the road to 1 recovery. Senator Morrill was prostrated three weeks ago with an attack of the grip which refused to yield to the treatment o! his physicians, and to the consternation of the family soon developed into a severe attickfl* pneumonia. Because of the {extreme age of the "Father of the Senate1' hops for hi? re covery was almost abandoned and several times bulletins were issued announcing that be could not survive the day. His constitution, however, as rujgei as, the granite of his native Vermont bills, stood him in good steal, and his syste 1 re , sponded so promptly to the treatment o* bis distinguishe I physicians that they ware enabled to snatch him almost from the very jaws of death.

The last battle occurrcd on Saturday last, and was in South America, on the Tennessee line. The light was brought ou like the previous ones. The Parton*, fire?d by the spirit of revenge and hatred and tempted by the reward offered' for Turner, made an attempt to capture him. The result was thr probable mortal shooting of Ike Parton, a Turner escap d easily. 13*e Partons, who have been constantly on the lookout for Berry Turner, got: news of his whereabouts on Saturday, and determined to capture him. Alvdr Parton, who was acting as leader, .dje I mauded that the occupants of the houtfi come out.-- The answer was a shot from a window. Tfec ball made a flesh wound in PartonVwfi^t.

(J , The child is "rickety, ,v and has other physical defects. Dr. Sayre recom mends that it have horseback exercise, and also the services of a nursery gov erness. He does not think that the baby should be brought up in a hotel, '?as a hotel-bred child is not likely to be a good member of society, and as it is not a good place to rear children." Therefoie, the child must have a home, which, together with servants, nurses I and other domestics, and horses and car riages, will be very expensive. The referee thinks that $3,7-42 will not be too much, and that the tuardian should re ceive an allowance of $1,000 a vear. i . b I Foster Gets Home With a Black Eye and Brings Silver News.

George Shields and Heijry Ileunies w?|l rm Fanay Crafty the Bllat Hymn Writer, It it eas y enough to be cheerful if you. hare good health, kind friends and ? good home, even if you hate not much; money, ^thinks Foster Coetes, in the New York Hail and Express. But one who can be happy and sing all the day long, whose eyes borer saw the glorious sun, the green trees, and nature in all her moods, is an example for men and women who are constantly crying be cause they imagine fate to bo unkind to. them, i thought of this the other day' when I sat in the pretty little parlor of \ Fanny Crosby, the blind tymn writer, a1 women who goes through life sightless! and alone, who never coin plains, and? who has given: to the: world some of its! aweeteit hymns. Mils Crosby; b em-! ployed in a large publishing house, and' each week she writes? jes, with iher own' pea? ;t least a half doaen hymns. She, is a ftaii looking woman of aboat sixty-} three, with a shrunken figure, and wear-; ing a black gown. Her face, however, is always pleasant. Her eyes are shaded by colored spectacles, aed when she com* poses she sits in a big rocking ehair be fore a table, and with a copy cf some book before her, while she scribbles away on big sheets of paper. She has the, faculty of making graceful and tuneful rhymes either to It music already writ ten, or for music niot yet composed. She writes a great deal, and is extremely careful in the use of words. She can perform on the guitar and piano, and. aha often aits before the ivory key-board for hours, while her ingeta wavier over the keys and abe hums new Melodies. She Is totally blind t but in her own apart mentjha can move about readily, so sejisftiritiaj^er touch, and she can often -feco^raPirkn is by the pressure 'of the hand. She received a good ndu- ' cation in the Institution for the Blind in this city, and her cot&panioai and friends .keep her well informed or what is going on about hen . j Miss Crosby has written many tongs aa well aa hymns. Who does not remem ?' ber "Hsxel Dell," "Rosalie, the Prairie Flower," "Proud World, Good-bye, * "Honeysuckle Glen" and *{ There's Mu sic in the Air!" All these were written by Miss Crosby years ago. She has com* | posed 3500 hymns, arid makes a comfort able income from her; labor. She is the author of "Safe in tlpe Anns of Jesus," "Pass Me Nofc*-On Gentle Saviour, n "Rescue the Perishing," " Jesus, v Keep Me Near the Cross," "0,1 My1 Saviour, Hear Me," the "Bright Forever" and scores of other equally as good hymns that are sung by millions of people in every land. She is content, as she may welfbe, with her aucoess. She is happy, and has no regrets fljat she; is blind. She hss dona more (or the Master than any minister. She is one the world's bravest heroine), and is workTuij uncoat ? plainingly, ready for the day when her rname ahall be written in letters of gold and set in a cryatal sky. The Music of Nalnre. The bass of thunder is considerably lower than the lowest sound produced in an orchestra ? below the zero of music, we may call it, at which all positive ap > prehension of musical sound ccases, and our senses are merely conscious of a roar. In observing the music of thunder, our attention, however, may be most profit ably directed to the expression rather than to the notes. The musical dim inuendo is moip perfectly represented by thnnder than bjj* any other form of sound in nature. After the first clap is over, the ear will pursue with pleasure ths rolling away and gradual fainting of the peal, until at immeasurable distance it sinka into silence. The melody of rain dancing on the stones, or pelting down in its first drops on the dry sail of a forest or a hearth, is r. species of sound which the art of music has yet to imitate, if it would complete its at present very incompleio lisf oT in- " struments. The Mexicans had some rattles made of very peculiar clay, with pipes inside, which wre intended to rep resent this sound. Certain Iribes of the North American Indians have been simi larly fascinated by the loud plash of water, to the beauty of which we have alluded before. They have instruments constructed accordingly with a view to to reproduce this round. Large buffalo hides are filled with water and sewn up in the manner of wine bags. Drum sticks of cork, or with their heads cov ered by a very fine gum, are wielded by the player, and the gentle and monoto nous plash of water is produced by ths drumstick striking softly on the skin. The natives will sit and Jisten to these instruments for hours. Certain tribes on the Amazon have in a similar way been fascinated by the music of the watcrfa'.i. Musical instruments were ;found in use among them consist ing of a complicated mcchanism by which water was poured from one bowl into another, in imitation of the cascade, and then returned by the receiving bowl into the vessel which had poured it; so that by a repetition of this mechanism a constant murmur of a cascade could be kept up so long ns the audience desired or the player was able to perform it. ?
