SPRNc GARDEN MEETINo.--The meeting of the
democracy of Spring Garden on Thursday evening
last was overwhelming. We do not remember to
have larger meeting in that district for many
years past. The old and the young joined most
heartily in the proceedings, and cvinced strong de-
sire to hear and understand what was said by the
speakers. The house Of Major Buddy, at the
corner of 9th and Green streets, brilliantly H.
Illuminated, and presented beautiful appearance;
and great praise is due to the ladies of his family for
the taste displayed in arranging the lights and
properly experimenting them.
Atan early hour the people began TO assemble,
and at the time OF organizing there were thou
sands on the ground. Conrad Keller, esq, of the
I'd ward, was called TO the chair, and a number Of
vice presidents and secretaries appointed. Richard
Vaux, ESQ.,, was first introduced to the meeting,
who in a plain yet eloquent manner addressed the
multitude upon the questions involved in the pres
ent contest. The recorder WINS exceedingly hap
py in his illustrations of the opinions, conduct, ten
denotes and designs Of our opponents; he repeat
eddy cheercd during his speech and concluded with
earnest appeal that all would do their duty on the
day Of the election.
Charles Brown, esq, then came forward and COM
menced powerful speech; this gentleman is always
listened to with attention. and leaves favorable
preston John w. Foney, esq, followed Mr..
Brown, and made a most eloquent address; after
which, General Roumfort made neat speech E..
A. Penniman esq, read the resolutions, and pre-
faced them with few remarks relative TO the wa
,A--works. Wan %. Barnes, esq, was then in
troduced TO the meeting, and made an eloquent
appeal in favor Of the public schools, clearly de-
monstratng that their permanency depended upon
the success of the democratic party. The meeting
was closed by a speech from Mr.. Rankin.
We now desire to alludc to a reprehensiblc prac-
tice, which, lift be not checked, will lead to conu
sion, if not riot At the moment of the adjournment
a small party of nalvists, that had remained upon
the ground for the purpose, raised cry Come on
natives TO the markethouse and as they left, made
use Of offensive expressions and sounds, and then
raised cheer-but SO feeble that it was Instantly
drowned by the democrats, who remained firm and
unainching, expecting every moment to be attacked

that period that every means has been exerted to
procure the consuinmation of so desirable an alli-
ance for France and If accounts to be relied
upon, even the Jesus are to be employed in aiding
in carrying into effect such project. We find in
letter from Rome the following significant passage:
1T is well known that the same influence which
was instrumental in obtaining the expulsion of the
Jesus from France has co-operated as to their es-
tablishing themselves IN Spain, in the hope and with
the sole view that they may assist in furhering the
plan of marrying the Duke de Montpensier to the
lDfantA Luisa Of Spain"
The King of Sweden, and Prince Gustavus, one
Of his sons, arrived at Chrstiana on the Sd inst,
and received there with great enthusiasm by the
whole population.

lau the 9Th inst on his way to Brieg, to preach
He was arrested by the police; but, after short de-
tention, was permitted to continue his journey.
BRUssELs, Sept l6.-A royal decree has just APP
peared IN the Moniteur sanctoning the formation of
committee for the purpose of examining and dis
GUESSING the most practical means Of improving the
condition Of the working classes, and also for the
purpose Of directing the attention of government to
useful foreign institutions for the benefit of the above
classes, in order that similar establishments may be
formed here. This committee will be merely a de-
liberating one, and will be attached to the Office Of
the Minister Of Justice. The British Queen was

The potatoes are very seriously injured this sea-
son. in Great Britain and on the continent, by the
rof-the same disease which so greatly diminished
the crop in this country last year. The injury has
been general as TO excite very considerable alarm
On the continent the crop has been all but destroy
ed; and in Holland, Belgium, and the north of
France, the most serious fears Of famine en-
tertained-so serious that the expectation OF food
was rgidly prohibited and all duties the import
alton Of ii rescinded In England the price Of every
kind Of corn has risen in consequences Of the caam-
ity which has overtaken the potato crop.

we found ourselves in the great gap in the noun
tana, serving az broad and easy avenue TO the
new West, which looks, TO a neghbor, towards
that oldest world of all, and our extreme cast
Asia.
We were several days yery near this lof,v
Wind-river range, which overlooks the Pass from
the north, and Witnessed, daily magnificent thun-
der-storms. They rpleRish its fountains with rain
and with snow. The Swcetwater, as with a

SHOWS. In the long days the twilight ending about
10 o'clock, we suffered from heat, the reflections
from white sands and rock; but, at night we had
frequently ice in our tents.
On the Both of June, and LIST of July, we drank
both OF the Atlantic and Pacific waters.
At Independence rock, returning, the baggage
was sent on by the road (52 mies) to the Platte;
and, with the expectation OF finding good grass we
turned down the SSeetwater, to follow il and the
Platte 70 the same point. The road passes through
q rugged desert of sand and salt plains, and noun
tains apparently Of volcanic origin; hut the pass we
attempted, we knew was utterly impracticable for

Of wonderful grandeur and beauty; on the pass, we
felt not near 90 high; beneath and before us was
circular valley, twelve miles wide, and thousand
feet deep, into which the Platte entered by an
seen mountain chasm close TO our right, and wound
about, az it might, through confused and rocky
mountain masses, peaks and precpices of red sand

bright colors Of the rocks and profson of cedars,

The Wheat Crop of 1SiJ.

The wheat crop of the United States for this
year, is estimated at l25, 900 900 ofbushcls The
wheat crop of 1912, which was the largest ever
previously raised in this country, was lO3, 900,
600 shows not less the large additional amount, OF
land brought under cultivation than the genial
character of the last summer.
The crop of Michigan is comparatively larger
than that ofany other State in the Union, With a
population not over 400 900, she raises this year
at least 1000 900 bushels Of wheat The Vol.
verines are gorying in their abundance, and they
say they can furnish Europe with all the bread
she may need The CeHrGi railroad now brings
down to Detroit 10 600 bushels of wheat daily,
but the supply is so very heavy al Marshall and
the other depots at this busy season, that the
motive power cannot take il of as fast as the for
warders require This will give some idea of
the production Of Michigan. The recent advance
in prices will most fortunately afford fair pro-
fit TO the producer, and thus with an immense
crop he reaps high prce-which fortunate com
bination is all that is wanted TO ensure a sound
and enviable prospesIty
This fall, the western States are not only par.
tcularly fortunate in their large crops, but also
in acquiring Intelligence of the late rise before
the whole crop was in second hands

Y Herald affords material for reflection, as ex-

Another REMARKABLE CASE OF CANINE
CHARACTER.

In the month af August last boy OF about
IL years ofage. the son or one of our citizens,
was visiting in the country. AS he was eros,
sing field dog pursued him as an intruder
upon his masters premises, and the boy being
alarmed ran for some distance, the dog chasing
and barking ferce'y. At length as the dog
was within few feet OF him the boy stumbled
and fell down a bank and broke his leg. The
poor fellow was of course terribly alarmed, the
dog still barking at him AZ he lay helpless at
his feet. But the instant the dog perceived
that the child was hurt, he returned toward
MS masters house and by his voice and actions
convinced the family that something was wrong
Finally, after having tried in vain to quiet the
dog, they followed him ill they found the child
crying for help. but at such distance from any
house that he could never have made himself
heard. Had it not been iar the kindness of the
dog, his enemy, the boy would have tainted
there, or would have attempted to crawl away,
in which ease he would doubtless have destroy
ed his limb.
The remarkable feature il this case is that
the d'spos fon of the dog was so suddenly
changed. We often read of dogs max ng simi-
lar efforts to save the lives Of their masters or
children 10 whom they are attached, but this is
the only instance We have ever met with, where
brute exercised what may be called, with
out LseyereAce. "the christian princip pie" OF
kindness to u fallen enemy In this respect
the dog was much more Of a man then many
in this world who walk uprght-Newsrk Dai.
