LIKE NEVADA RIVERS, SINKS AND SAGE
BRUsH.-The s. F. Bulstin's Palestine
visiting correspondent writes that the
river Jordan is not as large as either
the Carson or Humboldt, but it re-
sembles our rivers, he says, in many
particulars. He sayat that the border Of
the Dead Sea is not more desolate than
that surrounding the lower part Of the
Carson river, and has on its immediate
banks twice the vegetation that 10 on
the shores Of the Sink Of the Humboldt.
"But the two lakes, the Humboldt and
the Dead Sea, with their surroundings,
are wonderfully alike. The same bare
mountains hemming them in on all sides
and the same queer, oily vegetable
growth known on the Humboldt as
crossword, abounds upon the shores
Of the Dead Sea. All the bushes with
in two miles Of the Dead Sea looked as
IFS lucifsr match would ignite them.
They are all iniammable, even in their
apparent green state, just a. every one
familiar with the green sage, the grease
wood bushes, and oven growing willows
in the great basin between the Sierra
Nevada and Salt Lake, knows to be tho
fact with those shrubs. In short, the
people have not merely one, but a half
dozen dead Seas within their borders.
Whether they will not also have their
cities Of the plain, their Sodoms and
Gomorahs, at the rate they go on, is .
matter of no inconsiderable moment"

CROPS, Souri, N NoRrH.-It is graf
flying to know that the food crisis has
passed in the South. The cry Of dis.
tress that recently came up from all the
Southern States is now alleviated by
the gathering of the early crops. The
absolute nec~essaries of life are now
within the reach of all, although the
poorer classes Of the population have
experienced severe hardship in the last
few months. The Southern newspapers
are much cheered OF the prospects, and
at the same time make grateful ackuowl-
edgments Of the valuable assistance
given their section from the North,
without which, they say, many persons
must have persisted.
The statistics of the Agricultural
Department for Juno show an in
crease in the average spring wheat
throughout the West and Northwest
Of from 10 to 80 per cent. In the
Ohio Valley the breadth of Winter
wheat is loss by IL or Is per cent,
though there 10 q heavy increase of
Spring sowing. There is no material
decrease in the average Of Winter wheat
except in Ohio, Indiana, Kansas and
Texas. There is a large increase in
Virginia, Georgia, Arkansas and Ten
nssse, and the South generally, with a
slight advance in New England. As to
the condition Of the crop as compared
with last year, it ranges from Z per
cent. in Minnesota to l6O per cent. in
Ohio. In Indiana it is 70; Michigan,
80; Kentucky, SO; and Virginia 100 per
cent. better. All the States, except
Texas, make q favorable showing as
compared with last year. II is calcu-
lated that the crop should not fall short
Of zoe, OoO, 900 bushels.

HOW TIE PACIFIC RAILROAD Is
AnIIT.


The question has often been asked, so
says the Colorado Register, how the Pa
cifc railroad is built ; that is, how the
money is raised with which to do the
work. It was a great undertaking, cost
ing an immense sum of money. The
company was not able to raise It by
securing subscriptions to its stock and
20 were forced to effect a loan.
No institution or association of men
possessed the requisite funds except the
American Credit Mobilier. This insti-
tuition is an association of capitalists
fashioned after the French institution
bearing the same name. The object Of
the institution is to form such an asso-
citation as may be able to secure safe in
vestments for money. Tho French Credit
uses its funds in the erection Of houses,
in assisting inventors to secure patents
for their inventions when unable to do
so themselves. In the former instance
the managers would take security on the
buildings erected, and in the second an
assignment of one-hslf or some other
portion of the invention. 1t is when
summed up, a grand money lending con-
Germ, gotten up on q basis which is at
the same time fair for the borrower and
safe to the lenders.
The.American Credit Mobilier is based
on the same principles, with nearly the
same ends iu view. Men who had mon
ey wore in want Of some safer invest
ment than was furnished by the stocks
in the market, and more profitable than
real estate investments in our large
cities. They Joined together in the
founding Of this immense establishment,
and by putting their money together
were able to manage the largest inan-
cial enterprises.
When the construction of tho Pacific
railroad demanded money, they were
ready to furnish it. The road would
have U. S. bonds and lands, but it must
be built by sections before the company
would receive them. OF course advan-
ces must be made. The Credit Mobilier
made these advances taking as collateral
the bonds SO issued, the lands, and q
first mortgage on the road after it should
be constructed.

BEN WADE SxzrRED.-The Julesburg
Under says: ait was a laughable sight
to sec our old Radical squire, Ben
Wade, when he was out here a few
weeks ago, trying to keep up with Reed
and Cassment-the eonstructionists and
track-layers of the Union Pacific Rail-
road. Old Ben put spurs to his horse
and then could only get an occasional
sight Of the work by the aid of his field
glass. The truth is, he was SO fright
ened lest the Indians should 60 for his
scalp, that no thought the surprising
progress made by the road-builders was
a purpossd conspiracy to run him into
an Indian anbuscade; with that apprs-
hension, he soon tired Of racing with
tho ~railroaders, and started back for his
Puritan homo in the distance"
