The world is going forward to republican
ism. Plantation manners are growing into
disrepute everywhere. Instance this item
The Russian d,amatist, PoTIsEHiSE, has
lately written comedy in which the invec-
tives against the proprietors of serfs, and the
reactionary party in general, are SO bitter that
its representation produced a tumult in the
theatre. The aristocratic spectators hissed
and the democrats applauded. When the
mobiles sent deputation to Prince DoLGoRou-
Kow for the purpose of demanding With
drawal Of the play, the Prince refused to re-
eeive it.
Russian and Southern aristocrats are slow
to learn of popular rights, but learn it they
will, sooner or later.

There is nothing new to note in the condition
Of the money market. The Deposits continue to

on the increase. Under these circumstances the
market continues close aad stringent, and nothing

MAxUFAcroRiEs.- ALI over the country, es-
pecially throughout this State, every city and
town is trying to make Of itself a manufac
turing center. OF those present cities which
are good business points and have fair pros
poets now of a successful and prosperous
future, much of that enduring and substan
tial growth and prosperity, when 1t comes
must be brought and must be sustained by
manufactures Such is the situation and
natural and commercial advantages of keo
kuk, that it will undoubtedly reach me-
tropolitan supremacy if it but uses the
accomplish this result.
Des Moines expects TO reach greatness by
manufactures. But general interest in the
matter is spasmodic, and only comes on thei
inhabitants of the capital semi-occasionally.
We fear our citizens are in the same category.
Supply Keokuk for Des Moines in the follow
ing from the Register, and it will apply 10
this locality.
You have been sitting with your arms fold
ed about long enough. You have been
taking Rip Van Winkle opiate, and have
been dreaming of the prospective glories of
the Capital when yoh should have been
straight up on your feet with heels firmly
pressing on the ground, and your eyes fixed
wakefully on every subject which bears on
the prosperity of the city with whose interests
your own are identified. Periodically, like
the rush of comet with brilliant but con
fused tail, YOU will take railroad sp3sm,
and plunge ahead with an excess of energy
You get up and dust You fairly howl from
an excess of tremendous resolution and then
you go to sleep again; and when you wake,
you are terribly shocked because the North
Western Railroad Company has stolen a
march on you in a night, and sent its cars
into Boonsboro. and not into Des Moines
Railroads and Manufactures! These are
the true alchemy which converts the baser
metals into gold. These are the institutions
which, if operated in proper quantities, will
make Des Moines take the place among cities
which nature and artificial development de-
signed it to occupy. See to it, men of Des
Moines, that your heritage here is not wasted
and deprecated by your want of enterprise.

Overwork.

Unwise above many is the man who
considers every hour lost which is not
spent in reading, writing or in study, and
not more rational is she who thinks every
moment of her time lost which does not
find her sewing. We once heard q great
man advise that book of some kind be
carried in the pocket, to he used in case OF
an unoccupied moment-such was his
practice. He died early and fabulous.
There are women too, after hard days
work, will sit and sew by candle or gas
light until their eyes are almost blinded,
or until certain pains about the shoulders
come on. which are almost insupportaoie,
and are only driven to bed by physical in
capacity to work any longer. The sleep
of the overworked like that of those who
do not work at all, is unsatisfying and ui-
refreshing, and both alike wake up IN
WEAKNESS, sadness and languor, with an
inevitable result, both dying prematurely,
Let no one work IN pain or WEAKNESS.
When a man is tired he ought to lie down
until he is rested, when, with renovated
strength, the work will be better done,
done the sooner, and done with a self
sustaining alacrity. The time taken from
seven or eight hours sleep out OF each
twenty -four, is time not gained, but time
much more than lost; we can cheat our
selves but we can not cheat nature. A
certain amount of food is necessary to a
healthy body, and if less than that amount
be furnished, decay commences that very
hour. 1t is the same with sleep, and any
one who persists in allowing himself less
than nature requires, will only hasten his
arrival at the mad-house or the grave.
This is especially true Of brain work.

Grain and Fruit Prospects in Cali
fornia.

Gloom is depicted on the countenances
of agrlculturists, and from all parts OF the
State come up expressions Of fears that
the grain crop will be ruined. Tho bright
prospects of a few days ago have faded
away, and impending disaster looms up in
their place. Owing to the long continu-
ance Of northerly winds. the surface OF the
earth, in nearly all sections, has dried up;
the crops that were growing have come TO
a s,and-still, and most of them look as If
they had been blasted. Even the Summer
fallow crops are being injured. They had
sprung up, grown rapidly, and reached
such a hight and degree Of rankness, that
they ara broken down and tangled by the
prevailing winds to such an extent that
they are virtually injured almost as much
as those that are kept back by the drouth
and cold winds. The farmers are now In
a condition where they can not help them
selves, where their exertions and intelll-
gence can avail them nought. They have
plowed extensively and sown profusely,
and now are wholly in the hands OF
Providence. The prevailing belief is
and it is well fortified by a glance at the
grain fields, especially those not lying on
the rivers banks-that unless We have
rain within three weeks, the grain crop
will not pay for harvesting-will not give
an average yield of over bushel OF wheat
10 each inhabitant of the State. Accord
ing to our usual experience, the prospects
of rain are very slim, at least OF rain IN
time to do good. It has, we believe, never
been known to fail in this State that when
new moon came in dry, the weather re-
mains dry till the moon went out. The
present moon came in dry, accompanied
with northerly winds, which, IN their
practical effects on young grain and grow
ing vegetables for family use, are almost II
not quite as blasting and deadly as the
severest frosts.
All kinds of fruit trees give fine prom
Use of an abundant yield of fruits. They
are putting forth their buds and blossoms
in almost endless profusion. which Is cheer
ing TO the hearts of the fruit grower. tits,
however, a question with many if the pre-
valent northerly winds which blast and
kill opening rosebuds, will not blast and
DESTROY a great portion of the fruit bios
SONS before the fuit has become set, and
thus produce a short fruit harvest, especi-
ally in such fruits as peaches, cherries,
plums, apples, pears, nectarlnes anu
ouinces. Grapes are yet too backward to
be iniuriously affected by the prevailing
weather, and the vines give signs Of vigor
and promise of a rich yield.-SGe. Bee, Of
