Strawberries.

Strawberries are ripe. Not in the
garden; not in old stone fenced fields of
timothy and clover; not in the cultivat-
ed strawberry bed with flower borders
made with great care and expense. In
none of these places, for we havn't them
and don't need them. But out on the
great prairie, just as God and Nature
fashioned it. All round, everywhere on
our prairies the strawberries are ripin-
ing. Delicious, sweet, round, red straw
berries--with all the sweetness1 and
flavor we used to so much love when
we picked them op the hillside in good
old New England. ob

ALL OVER

The labors ofthe Baltimore Conven-
tion have come to close, after a ses-
sion Of unusual excitement and bitter
feeling. AS we calculated, Douglas
has triumphed and is the candidate of
the Democratic party Twelve States

Giant was duly nominated by two

enough. The South swear vengeance,
and nobody knows what they will do
We predict they will put another can
didate in the field to be supported by
the Southern wing Of the party Then
if Bright of Indiana, Randall of Penn
sylvania, Butler of Massachusetts, and
Wood of New York, supported by the
influence of the Administration, should
aid that ticket, Douglas would have

we rejoice that he fairly beat them in

any party to crush out a leader, it has
been made on Douglas. Douglas is
head and shoulders above his Demo-
cratic assailants, and we hardly know
which most to admire, his talents or his
courage. M tsta
1t is singular coincidence that the
candidates of the two great parties hail
from the same State. What a battle
may we not expect again on the plains

MINNESOTA GRAIN IN Sr. LOUIS
The steamer Metropolitan, which arri-
we'd at ST. Louis on the 18th inst :, had
on board nearly ten thousand sacks of
grain. The Hawk-eye State, arriving
the day after, had 1924 packages ofpro-
duce, or about $4,000 bushels Of grain,
nearly all of which was from Minnesota
The DIR, Kane, from the St. Croix val
ley, had 1897 packages of produce
The Per,bina, also had about the same
average amount; The Republican al

The Minnesotian and Times has ceas-r
ed its labors. Two new papers take its
place. The Mixnesotian edited by Dr.
Foster-and the Times edited by T. NJ.
Newson. We have received both dali

much since the union Of the two Old pa

again, as of old, in the Times resusci-

been united. They are unlike every
way, except being both earnest Repub-
licans; and the Legislature should new
er have coaxed them into a part

orally lead to open enmity.
The .Minnesotian thus received, comes

we do think his taking up the cudgel

E It seems that Sir John Herschel, from
some remarkable phenomena exhibited by the
sun last year, had formed the opinion that this
year would be characterised by extraordinary
floods Of rain in England. As the prophecy
has been more than fulfilled in the unparalleled
rain falls which the journals report as having
marked the summer, he has received great
many letters regarding the grounds on which
he based his prediction. In a late communi-
cation he deprecates the unenviable reputation
urges how perfectly possible it is for an obser-
want person, connecting many scattered indi-
cations and some very remarkable and un-
usual phenomena with speculations on their
possible or probable consequences, to have
been led to form general opinion as to the
character of season in advance. Scientif-
cally speaking, and connecting these phe-
nomena with the laws Of solar periodicity
established by Schwsbe and Wolf, he is dis
posed to regard the meteorology of the last
twelve months as more pregnant with instruc-
tion than that Of any equal lapse of time on
record. But as for the announcement of any
given sort Of weather for any given time and
place, he regards it as q thing at present quite
beyond the power Of any meteorologist, except
In very few cases. such as that of an immi-
nent cyclone In the hurricane regions, from
barometic indications, and one or two other
strong indications of Immediately impending
changes, which general experience has sug-
gested to the weather-w wise.
