BONNER drove Dexter a mile on the
Prospect Fair Grounds, on Tuesday AFTER
Don in 2:233, to a road wagon. This Is
the fastest time ever made in such a vehl-
Gle. Dexter had previously trotted a mile
in 2:24 to a skeleton wagon, and this was
then the quickest mile ever made.

The Crops--The Spectators.

The effort made by spectators to Gre
ate the idea that the crops are short, and
thus give some sanction to their purpose
to advance the price of breadstuffs, is a
transparent huInbug. The Associated
Press has lent itself to this ne~farious
! scheme by circulating dispatches all over
the country to the effect that the corn crop
has suffered severely from the drought all
over the Southern States. This is an Did
dodge, and we hav seldom known an in
stance when it was tried that the facts did
not give the lie to the rumOr by showing a
better corn crop than ever. These canards
are always cases of smoke without fire.
1t is well knOwnt that the harvest of wheat.
oats, barley, potatoes, and hay, was new
er better han it is this year. These pro-
ducts are all safely secured on the farms
all over the country, and in abundance,
too. The barns are loaded with grain.
The cattle are luXuriously provided with
fodder for the coming winter. If the far
mers have any reason to complain it is be-
cause the abundant harvest which Provi-
dence allotted to them may reduce the
market prices of their produce and disap-
point the narrow minded the lazy and the
greedy among them. The people who
must eat the food will be benefited by the
richness of the harvest.
1t is therefore absurd as well as wicked
for spectators to undertake the task of
making a panic about the short corn crop
in order to enhance the price of bread
stuffs, upon the same principle that the
coal m~onopolists V entered into a con
spiracy to defraud the public by bogus
representations of the scarcity of that ar
ticle.-N. Y. Herald.
We do not know how much the Herald
is interested in the grain market, but we
do know that the corn crop in Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia. will fall short of
anything like an average crop.

Call Tor "a National Convention at
ST. I.OIliS.
From the st. Louis Republican,.

TTOUt tHt %. LOutS IltpDOttCuN.
In consideration of the growing agita'
ton, by the people of the Valley States
upon the subject of the removal of the
National Capital from Washington City to
the Mississippi Valley, the undersigned,
believing that it ought to be removed,
deem it of the highest Importance to a
full and free discussion of the subject by
the people of all the States, to call a Ma
tional Convention for that purpose, and
in making the call hereby set forth
L. That the present location of the Cap
ital is Objectionable to the great mass of
the people of the country. Its geOgraph-
zeal position is in the highest degree OBJ
jectionable and adverse to the public i'll
@terest, and can never be made r%ecOncila-
BILE to the vastness of our territory.
III. That there is every consideration,
both in our nationality and our civilaza-
ton, to demand its removal to the central
plain of the continent. Whoever will on
slider the topography Of our country, and
the growth of our civilization, must know
that the p~reponderance of national power
and national wealth, if not already pos
sessed by the Valley States. will o be
organized and concentrated within those
States adjoining the Mississippi River and
her tributaries, and lying between the
Gulf and the lakes. Here will be cOnsen-
trated the great railroad power of the ma
ton !; here the agricultural wealth here
viii be assembled, in a few years, three
fourths of the people of the country, all
controlled by intelligence and industry
Furthermore, we claim that the force of
civilization is of vast concern in maintain
ing good government, influencing nation
al legislation, and giving strength to a ma
ton; and, therefor, of right the seat of
national legislation ought to be fixed in
the centre of our national civilization, its
wealth, its power and its population. TO
obtain a wise discussion of the facts bear
lug upon this great subject, and to secure
the end for which we labor by a just con-
victiOn of our cOuntrymen to his cause,
we make this call for a National COnven-
ton, to convene at st. Louis on the Goth
day of October next, said convention to
be composed of delegates from all the
States and Territories, as follows: Each
State to be represented by two delegates
from each of its Congressional districts,
large. The delegates to be appointed re-
spectively by the Governors of the States.
The Territories will be entitled to two del
egates, appointed by their Governors;
also, the District of Columbia will be en-
titled to two delegates, tobe appointed by
the Mayor of Washington City:

Twenty Years Ago.

I've wandered to the village Tom,
I've sat beneath the tree,
Upon the School-house playinC ground
That sheltered You and me;
And none were left to greet me, Tom,
And few were left to know,
Who played with us upon the green
Just twenty years ago.
The grass is growing just as green
Bare-footed boys at play,
Were sporting just as we did then,
With spirits just as gay;
But the master sleeps upon the hill,
Which, coated o'er with snow,
Afford us a sliding place
just twenty years ago.
The old school-house is altered some,
The benches are replaced
With new ones very like the same
Our jack-knives had defaced;
The same old bricks are in the wall.
The bell swings to and fro
Its muslcs just the same, dear Tom,
Twas twenty years ago.
The rivers running just as still,
The willows on its side
Are larger than they were, dear Tom
The stream appears less wide
But the grapevine swing is ruined now
Where once we played the beaux,
And swung our sweethearts-pretty girls
Just twenty years ago.
The spring that bubbled meath the hill,
Close by the spreading beech,
Is very low-twas once so high
That we could scarcely reach;
In kneeling down 70 take a drink,
Dear Tom / started so,
To see how much that l had changed
Since twenty years ago.
Near by that spring, upon an elm,
You know l cut your name,
Your sweetheart's just below it, Tom,
And you did mine the same;
Some heartless wretch has pealed the bark,
'Tis dying sure but slow,
Just as the one whose name you cut,
Died twenty years ago.
Ny lids have long been dry, dear Tom,
But tears come in my eyes,
l thought of her l loved we'll
Those early broken ties;
l visited the old chnrchyard,
And took some flowers to strew
Upon the graves Of those We loved
Some twenty years ago.
Some in the churchyard laid,
Some sleep beneath the sea,
There's few are left of our old class,
Excepting you and me;
And when time shall come, dear Tom,
And we called to go,
] hope we'll sleep with those we loved
Just twenty years ago.

TIE SWEET POTATO VINE. One
Of the prettiest and most simple of
wall decorations is a sweet potato
vine. 1t resembles ivy in appearance
but has the peculiar advantage of
growing very rapidly when once star
ted.
It can be grown in a shaded room
and Irvine about household things in
a familiar and graceful way peculiar
to itself, creeping around the pictures
and winding its tendrils about their
cords; or clustering in window corners
it will play bo-peep among the cur
tains in quite a charming way, and
at last will send its pretty convolvu-
lus flowers tosbrighten all the room.
Ifyou wish to prove this pleasant
fact, select an ordinary sized sweet
potato, place it in large mouthed
glass jar. It is not absolutely nee
essary to have glass jar, unless one
wishes to watch the sprouting process
whichis beautiful and interesting. Co.
yer the potato with water nearly to
its top, leaving only an inch or two
uncovered, and replenishing every
other day to make up for what is lost
by evaporation; in about five weeks
it will begin to sprout. It requires
subsequently but little attention, ii
being only necessary to keep the
roots constantly covered with water.
The vine will be found to grow much
faster when suspended in the sun
shine, though it grows rapidly any
where. Sometimes it is more con-
venient to place the vase containing
it on a bracket hung against the wall.
The pendant shoots will add to its
pretty effect, while those which have
tendency to creep upwards will
soon find something to which they
can cling.
Nothing in the way Of ornament IS
more easily prepared than the sweet
potato vine, and nothing SO well re-
pays the little troubleit costs. Hearth

The WINDING ALPINE HORN

L HE w lNDlNG eALIlNE ..I1ORN' =
At Lauterbrunnen I heard for the
first time an Alpine horn, and tried
to blow it too, and was as red in the
face as if / had swallowed a horn or
two. The horn which [ saw there was
seven or eight feet long, curved at the
large end, made of wood, bound around
with throngs should say, and quite
too heavy to be held at arms length,
especially when one wants his entire
and unabridged muscle and wind in
the blowing business. You will ask
me whether anything really musical
could come out of that wooden hole by
ever so much blowing? Yes, sir,
there could. The double echo Of
that horn, rolling up the great noun
tain side of Jungfrau as regularly as
that fellow 1swelled and footed, is
among my most exquisite recollec-
lions Of the Alps. When the sound
emerged from the haring end Of the
concern it was bright, wild, light
some, full of the air and hills, and a
delicious bit for the imagination, but
when after a little interval, the noun
tains caught it and handled it from
hight to hight as in gentle play, Il
noticed, andnoticed breathlessly that
it was gradually refined and softeneds
each echo being mellower and more
musical than the preceding one, until
when it died away at its loftiest, it
had discharged itself of every stain
of the, earthly, and had risen into
the pure spiritual, faint and far, SO
that if Gods angels bent low and
caught it up and made to be forever
more one of their own melodies, [ do
not,a bit wonder at it, for L doubt
whether the best of them could beat
it in the best flight he ever made
