an old army officer, who led one Of the
Government explorations for a Pacific

acres on my home ranch, and 25,90C
more in Northern Californian That
'homc ranch if it were square tract,
would be 10 miles across. 1t is one

100000 acres apiece. Beale dispenses

General w. T. SHERMAN, the highest
military officer under our Governments

Lieutenant General ?. H. SHERIDAN,

Now, how does the matter stand, Rad
dies? Your old Know Nothingism will
crop out whenever a candidate for office
happens to be foreigner or member OF

But to be pure blood Jacobin, is to
be one mean enough to prescribe 4 man

calism.

party and resolved to cut loose. In

The Crops.

The Indianapolis Ind Journal of
the 17th says: I'VE have another lot of
reports from the wheat harvest from our
country exchanges TO day, but as they
arc all pitched in the same key-'thc best
yield ever known in the county'-it is
unnecessary to do more than indicate
the scctious from which they come
From Henry County, we have the state
ment that 'thc harvest is SO abundant
that the farmers will have to stack what
they can out of doors because their barns
won't hold it all; and the same from
Miami, from Grant, Johnson, Rush, De-
catur, Clay, Sullivan, Putnam, Noble,
Wayne and st. Joseph. The only con-
tingency that can now affect the wheat is
that of sprouting. Of this some fears
are expressed in several quarters, andthe
prevalence of heavy rains throughout a
large portion Of the State during the lat
ter part Of last week and the first part of
this week, gives these fears color of
reason and may spread them very wide
ly. We have good hope, however, that
the hot ana dry weather of the past four
or five days will repair the injury done
or threatened by the rains, and save our
splendid crop in perfection. The reports
to-day in regard to corn, hay, oats and
potatoes, leave nothing to be desired
but the realization of what they prom
isc."
