NEWS PAR7MENT.
IMPORTANT FROM UTAH.

Tho Now York Herald of Saturday
afternoon. publishes the following letter
from Mormon Elder, which gives an
account of the ravages of,he grasshop-
pers in Utah:
GREAT SALT LAKE Cry. u. T..
jane 1, 1856,
You will recollect me. late as Speak
or ofthe House of Representatives of
this Territory, and now member O
said House and having Just returned
from tour through the Southern set
Elements ofthis far off land, in company
with the Governor and others am pre-
pared to give accounts of the most as.
founding ravages and destruction by
grasshoppers ever knew or heard Of.
The wheat crop which promised SO
much, and which is almost the only COM
modify Of life, in these thousand mile
deserts aud thousand feet mountains, is,
like an extinguished light. gone-yea.
that aud almost everything else that can
be nibbed by grasshoppers, have vanish
ed. "like the bsseless fabric of a vision"
10 all appearance, seed will not be raj
sed for another crop; and, as matter
of course, meat of every kind must be
just as scarce, unless we mako dernicr
resort on the grasshoppers.
Mr.. Cain, gentleman of probity and
quick discorament, has just returned
from an excursion north and says tho
grasshoppers are pushing lhemselve out
of tho ground by millions and trillions;
and should tho warm weather hasten
their growth and their wings, so as to fly.
the whole country may cry, "Wo be to
the land of their flight and the day of
| their might" ..
The great European armies of the
| Crimea cannot mete out destruction like
this host of Jehovah, and except we live
by faith, we live not for the little fell
lows, after vanquishing the crops, make
| war upon the nurseries, forests and
| shrubbery, of both fields and plains !;
and as insects and hunger have no con-
sciences, unless the old countries are
blessed with an abundance of provisions
and the army cometh not to devour, there
must be famine, and when tho trial
does come, what is dollar a pound for
flour or meat, If there is none? AS
Shakespeare says, "thats the rub" for
rich and poor.
send yon this for publication, that
strangers may not come TO Utah TO starve
for thousand miles from all source of
relief, cannot be passed among noun
tains of snow in the depth of winter,
without as much faith as tho Children
of Israel had to be led through tho Red
Sea by Moses; and already every route
to California swarms with all that fear
and dread the crucible that tries the
hearts and veins of all. AS the poet
sung, "Snch getting out of trouble,
such running from the bubble never
did see" Respectfully, &C.,

Blunders of the Post Office.

Several valuable letters were found,
not long since, among lot of waste
paper, (thc sweepings of the Baltimore
office which had been sold to a pa
per mill not far distant. The contents
were partly returned to the owner. A
similar case has since occurred, as we
learn from the following paragraph in
the Baltimore American of the 21st:
Another Letter in the Refuse Paper.
We learn that letter containing a
note for five hundred dollars has been
found by Mr.. Peter Shunck, of Howard
county, among some waste paper pur-
chased at the post-office in this city,
The letter was directed to the cashier
Of the Exchange Bank of Virginia, at
Abingdon, and was from Mr. Alexandria
Brog, of New York. The note was
transmitted for thopurpose ofcollection.
The late finding of letter containing
check and money for upward of$l0,000
should have made the employees sufi-
GENTLY cautious 80 that tho accident
may not occur again.

From California,
SAN FRANCISCO, June Is, 10

DAN FRANCISCO, June 10, 1900.
To give you an idea of the fertility of
the soil and tho nature of the climate;
We have had strawberries since March
and they will last until November {:
blackborries since May; pears & grapes
| arc the fruits of the country, rasberries
of gigantic growth, cherries beautiful;
peaches it is expected will be cheaper
this year than with you; three years
since they sold at one or two dollars
zach; other fruits in abundance. We
have had arlichokes that might choke an
elephant since February. and veg eta.
bles of all kind in an abundance that
would amaze you, potatoes at twenty
five cents bushel, and such potatoes
perfect -four when baked. Then we
have sweet potatoes, oranges, mangoes
and many other fruits from the Sand
witch Islands, nuts aud preserves from
Chill, and last but not least, gold from
the mountains in greater portions than
ever. Such another country the sun
never shone upon.
The enormous income Of some real
estate holders have dwindled down at
a most rapid and fearful rate, and though
already small, continue to "become
beautifully less" I am now moving
into house at $40 per month, which
four months since readily brought Sis
per month, and "fancy rents" have de-
clined at even a greater ratio. The
United States bonded warehouse, for
which $4,000 per month was originally
paid, would not at this moment com
mand ono.fourth Of that rate; and under
clause in the lease, which provide for
rovaluation Of the rent every g years
by disinterested persons will no doubt
at the next benniol valuation, if proper
attention is paid to tho matter by the
Government officials, be reduced &C.
cordingly.
Neither labor nor capital will ever a.
| gain be so valuable in California as hero
tofore. The supply of both is daily in
croasing and the days Of $50 per month
for farm laborers aud found, Sc per day
in tho city for common laborers, and $12
for mechanics, have gone, not again to
return; go is six per cont per month for
money, ae likewise rents which gave
net income of SO to "a per cent. por
unnum on the cost of tho property
The product of the mines is daily heap
ing up capital here, exclusive Of all the
gold sent to tho Atlantic States, Europe,
China, and South America. Still, how
ever rents and labor will continue for u
very considerable time yet to- be much
higher than with you, aud with the 9th
or great attractions OH this coast will
cause California to increase with great
rapidly in population wealth and fesour-

cher Great Russian Railxay.

To show how great are the exertions
of Russia in the present war, il is now
said that they have. by the most incredi.
BILE exertions, SO far advanced with a
railroa2 from Moscow to Perekop, that
it will be completed and, in full opera.
ton in the autumn. This will enable
them to pour into tho Crimea soldiers
and supplies without limit. The French
are so well aware Of this that they are
terrifying Kamiesch, and will render il
the strongest fortress in Europe. and
sooner or later they will probably re-.
tire to it. Perekop is about 800 miles
south from Moscow, and stands at the
junction of the Crimean Peninsula with
tho main land. 1t is hundred miles
north of Sebastopol. When the above
railroad is complete, Russia will have a
continuous track Of over 1900 miles in
length. extending north and south THO
her dominions, from st Petersburgh on
the Gulf of Finland, to the shores of the
Black Sea. At no distant day, st Pc
tersburg and Constaptinople will doubt.

Wise's Constituents.

The Cincinnati Times publishes list of
fifty-six counties, in which with two or
three exceptions) Wise had majorities over
Flournoy. In these counties tho number of
"free white persons who cannot read or
write ia 44,116. Wise's vote in these coun-
ties in the aggregate was 1918. In Wise's
own county, Accomac, the number of such
illitera,e citizens is 1910. In Russell coun.
ty the number is l778. In Tazewell il is
l,5O6. Wise's majority in Tazewcll is 9l5.
In Green county Wise's vote was 532, and
Flournoy's AZ; total number of those who
cannot read or write, 492! In Page county
Wise got $685. Flouruoy 70 total number
OF those who cannot read or write, o93 -
In many Of the fifty.six counties there is not
a church; in some of them not newspaper,
not public school nor academy, not pub
lie or private library. The Times further
insists that the increase in the Virginia vote
since 1852, which is perfectly astounding,
can be accounted for, only in part, by inn
poriations--foreign laborers on public works,
and voters sent from Washington, Baltimore
and other cities

Major a. s. Oonnelson.

gentleman Of sc much political expert
ence could not but expect an assault Of the
most vndic,ive character from his former
associates, upon ch,ngng his political posi-
ton. The charge that Maj. Donelson was
disappointed Office ecker has been success
fully refuted by him. Indeed to have refu-
sed Office to one who stood so high in the es.
tlmation Of the Democratic leaders, and tho
party, as to have served it in diplomatic
and editorial capacity, would argue an in
justice which wouli almost justify a change
of position-espeeally when the sterling
