designations The Grant farm, the Sher-
man farm, and the Sheridan farm. The
first of these is farm of thousand
acres, seven hundred and twenty OF
which are in one field On one side OF
this field stands the well-ripened gram
thickly covering the ground; on the 9TH
er, for mile in extent the grain is gath
cred in the sheaf, presenting to one scope
of the eye thousands of shocks put up in
regular rows On this farm seven reap
ers are at work, each drawn by four
horses. which follow each other in regu-
lar order, and side by side through the
heavy grain, cutting an aggregate swath
of torty-nine feet. There are seventy
three men at work, who are paid each
$3.50 per day and board. The routine
of the labor is as follows: breakfast in
time to be in the field at & o'clock
lunch at /, and supper at I.
These operations are applicable to the
Grant farm. Upon the other farms 9TH
err rcapers and men are likewise employ
ed. Upon the several farms the propri-
etor has had erected full sets of substan-
tial buildings of sufficient capacity for
one hundred men and about the same
number of horses. 1t is sufficient TO say
that these are model farms, and all oper-
ated for the speciality of wheat raising.
| The labor required to harvest and thresh
the grain of crop like this, thirty years
ago, would have rendered such thing
impossible. Now, with such auxiliaries
as the reaper and the thresher, the work
chinery is requisite 1t was only last
Monday, the 18th inst, that the ma
chimes were put i'll motion, and the cal
culation is 10 have the whole seventeen
hundred acres cut by the 21st, which will
be at the rate of one hundred and fifty
acres each day. by the 22d inst, five
threshery and cleaners will be put to
work in the field, where wagons will load
for the river depot, and IN ten more days
from that time, this immense yield will
he in the bushel, and offered at market.
The land upon which this crop was
grown is high, rolling prairie, and was
broken up last year, and the seed sown
this spring, from the 1st TO the 10th OF
May.
The probable result is based upon the
| opinion OF good farmers, who are capa-
/ bic of forming correct estimate of the
quantity OF grain, either in the shock. or
standing uncut. This crop has been Wis
tied by the neighbors, and their judy
ment is that there will be from twenty
| five to thirty bushels TO the acre. Take
the lowest estimate, and we have on
100 acres 42,500 bushels Of wheat.
which at present prices delivered at mar
ket, say $3.50 per bushel, will amount
to the snug sum OF SG3,775O. 1t is not
only safe TO say that this is the largest
yield Of wheat given to any man in the
United States this year, but probably the
most profitable of any crop produced ior
the same time in any state. am in

will become fixed fact. The structure

For this final struggle, then, Eel

is stubborn and desperate. Our victory
would be the death blow to the Repub-

Arms for the South.

The following occurred in the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches few days ago.
If the statement about arms is true, it
does not indicate that the people are
arming to resist the laws, but simply for
self-defence in the event the carpet-bag.
gers and scallawags succeed in prccipi-
tating a conflict of races: ..
The New York Sun says that several
individuals are now in New England,
engaged in purchasing and shipping
arms to the Southern States. One of
them is from Texas, and one other from
Georgia, two from South Carolina, two
or three others from Louisiana, Ala
bama and Tennessee. The articles they
are purchasing are mainly revolvcrs and
repeating or brccch-loading rifles. All
the model or muzzlc loaded weapons are
discarded, and purchasers are under
stood to prefer short barrels to long
ones. Ten thousand revolvers were
sent South in one consignment three
weeks ago. Shipments Of 1000; l,20O
and 500 revolvers are frequent.
The Charleston steamer last week took
Il dozen cases of hardware, which was
really a lot of breech-loading rifles
designed for private parties in that city.
One dealer in firearms admits that he
has more orders than he can fill for the
present, but processes not to know
where the weapons he sells are going.
All these facts point rather strikingly to
the disturbed condition of affairs in the
SOuth

Church Going.

A Boston preacher of considerable
local fame delivered discourse, Sun
day or two ago, on the abuses of Church
going. He said that many persons went
to church who might as well not go,
and who would get more benefit from a
stroll in the fields, or in some other ra-
tional mode of improvement and enjoy
ment. Others go to Church mechanic
ally, from the force of habit and in OBJ
servarce of time honored custom,
while others go for the purpose of see
ing and being seen. Another class of
persons go to church to be specifically
entertained by eloquence, and still ano-
Their to pick flaws and to make trouble.
All of which, if it did originate in Bos-
ton, is the truth. The preacher omitted
to point out the method by which these
abuses could be radically reformed.

Death of MethuSelah.

The Mobile Register notices that this

He was supposed, at the time of this la

in the world, having attained the age of
nine hundred and ninety-nine years,
and but for the occurrence which PROV

an opinion how long he might have con-

ment of the past. How true it is, as
has been remarked by some one or two,

Destructive Earthquake.

SAN Francisco, October 2l.-A heavy
shock OF an earthquake was felt at Z 30
this morning. The motion was East
and West. Several buildings were
thrown down, and considerable num-
Der badly damaged on Pine, Battery,
Clay and SAMSON Streets. Near Cali
fornia the ground sank, throwing build
ings to the ground throughout the
whole line.
Several severe shocks followed at in
tervals since, creating general alarm
among the people. The shock was felt
with great severity at San Jose, where
a number of buildings were considera-
bly, injured.
"A survey of the city shows that the
principal damage is confined to the
lower portion of the city. Business
has been suspended. The city is throng-
ed with people, and great excitement
prevails. Parapet walls, chimneys and
u number of buildings were thrown
down, resulting in loss of life. The
damage, it is estimated, will not ex-
coed one million.
AT Oakland the shock was severe,
throwing down chimneys and greatly
damaging numerous buildings. The
ground opened in several places. A
strong sulphurous smell was noticed
Immediately after the shock. The court
house of San Leundro was demolished,
and one life lost. From various por-
tons of the country in the vicinity OF
San Francisco bay the shock was re-
ported severe, and considerable dam
age sustained. In many places the
earth opened and the water gushed

Sharp. But Not Quick.

Secretary McCulloch has received q
letter from lady in Baltimore stating
that she had been informed that the in
tercst on two cents for thousand years
would pay off our public debt. She had
not made the computation and could not
speak positively, but if this is the case
she could not see the utility Of so much
talk about reputation when the pay
ment Of the national debt is only mat
ter of two cents and question Of time.
She was willing to furnish the principal
for that purpose, and accordingly en-
closed two cents, which she requested
should not be deposited to swell the
conscience fund, but should be at inter-
est for the liquidation of the public
debt

Earthquake in North Carolina.

The Asheville Ne,es thinks they have
had small chunk of an earthquake W
among the mountains of North Caro-.
lima. 1t says:
Our citizens were startled on Friday
night last, about 8 o'clock, by very
sensible shock of an earthquake, which
lasted nearly minute. The noise was
like the rumbling of carriage wheels,
while the earth trembled with vibrat-
ing motion. 1t caused some consterna-
ton among our people, but the occur
renee was so sudden, that but few could
appreciate that it was faint specimen

johnny Shrimp---On Politics,

Politics is a hard word. l don't lust
understand what it means. l guess it is
a sort of sickness. People who have
this sickness meet together in the even
ing, and howl aud talk. Pa has 'em bad.
lie goes out five nights in the week, and
doesn't stay at home the other night. He
has 'em SO bad that lie can't walk straight
when he comes home.
l used to think politics was something
good to eat. Ma says she thinks it is
something good to drink.
l went once to meeting where they
all had politics bad. A man got up and
called another man who wasn't there all
sorts Of names. lie said he belonged to
the other party. He said the country
was going to ruin, aud we all should be
ground to powder in the crash. | told
Ma, | thought he was talking about
earthquakes. Earthquakes is in my last
geography much. Bill Brown calls it
goggeriee. But goggertee is q good
deal better than politics.
Pa says when grow up l shall un.
derstand politics. But l don't like tho
taste of it, except when Ma makes it up
into egg-nog.

Poll Every Vote,

The Louisville Courier gives the fol-
lowing advice in regard to the election
next Tuesday:
Let the friends of Seymour and Blair
throughout the country take the neces-
sary means of having every legitimate
vote polled at the election on the Sd of
next month that is possible. BY doing
so we save the country from the curse
of Radical domination and if after al,
we should fail, we will have the conso-
lation of knowing that we have done
our duty. Never before was there a
political contest in which the issues in
volved were so pregnant with veal or
woe to the country. In life and death
struggle like this for constitutional lib
erty and government, it il imperatively
the duty of the Democracy to bring
their last man to the charge.
