THE CROPS,

For weeks past we have heard the
cry ignorantly or viciously heralded
over the country, "the crops will be
a failure" "no wheat" ''Do corn"
"no nothing" until the people began
to believe there might be some truth
in the rumor. But how gloriously
the first harvest returns dispel the
gloom. From every quarter the
most flattering returns are being re.
ceived, of the great yield of the
wheat, which though not standing as
thick on the ground as ia other
years, shows large, well filed heads
of plump, sound wheat, surprising
anything for years past in quality.
A correspondent writing to Chica-
90 paper said Iowa would not raise
wheat enough for its own use. How
effectually that canard has been re-
futed, is shown by the following let
ter written on the 9Th to the Chicago
Journal. "Since Wednesday, the
22d of June, ! have travelled through
The counties of Mabaska, Marion,
Warren, Polk, Jasper, Poweshiek,
lama, Marshall, and Story, and ]
must say that never saw such pros
poets for good crops. There are
some few pieces of wheat that are
thin, but filling well, and the wheat
will he a two thirds crop, and OF first
rate quality. Oats and barley are
very good. Corn was never better
at this time of year. A great many
pieces are now tasseling, and farm
ers say that they have the best pros
poets they have had for years. We
mad fine rain in this section on the
morning of the 5th and 9th. We
can yet furnish Chicago with wheat"
Another writer from Dewitt to
the same paper says: "We have
had but little rain, but nothing needs
it but grass. If rain holds off
week, this section of iowa will harv-
est the best crop of barley it ever
had. Wheat is short straw, but a
splendid berry, and good crop.
Oats are a good crop. Corn looks
better than it ever did at this time of
year. l have lived here thirteen
years, and have taken a good deal of
pains to investigate the matter.
assure you that we will have in Iowa,
according to present prospects, as
good series of crops as We ever had,
excepting grass and perhaps pota-
toes. | do not see what any ones
object can DE in thus misrepresent-
ing the condition Of things in Iowa.
Many people are frightened on ac-
count Of the lack of rain, but there is
less grumbling among farmers than
| ever heard before-therefore, don't
invest all your spare change in grain
to feed furnishing Iowa next whit

WAR IN EUROPE.

Europe has long been without war,
dong for it at least) and is now SO
anxious to convulse the continent
with bloody strife, that two of the
great powers must needs get up a
muss over the candidacy of some OBJ.
scure prince who aspires to SIT upon
that lettering structure, the Spanish
throne. "Who is this Prince Of Ho-
henzollern," is asked on every side,
and few are found to answer. An
exchange thus answers the many in
quiries ''The Hohenzollerns are
princes out of active business at home,
waiting to be called upon to.''reign
over" other people that their. pater-
nal residence is at Dusseldorf; that
there seems to be two available pin
ces of this house, namely, the hered-
itary princes Leopold Stephen
Charles-Anthony, &c, born Septem-
Der %, 1885, now. a colonel in the
Prussian Guards and Frederick
Eugene-John, etc., born June 25,
lS43, and now commanding squad
ron of Lancers in Westphalia. A
brother of these two princes (Charles
y is the reigning sovereign of lto-
mania. Their grandmother, on their
mothers side, was the Viscountess
DE Beauharnais, an adopted daugh-
ter of Napoleon l and their grand
mother, on the fathers side, was the
Princess Maria Antoinette Murat.-
Thus it will be seen, that while they
are Prussians by nationality, they are
Napoleon by family connection and
tradition" And yet with their ped
igree paraded before us, but few, if
any, are the wiser as to "who is this
Prince of Hohenzollern )" yet all feel
that in case they dance to lively mu-
sic, America, as well as Europe must
help pay the fiddler.

DENVER, COL.,

EDS. HERALD:
Yesterday I went down
from here to the new colony called
"Greely," which has lately COM
menced operations. 1t is growing
rapidly and the Fourth was celebra-
ted Without liquor or fighting. Col.
Fisher the Supt. Of the Denver
Pacific r. r. ran down an excursion
train. BY the way, the Colonel is
giving excellent satisfaction and run
ming the road with economy and
success. lie looks very well.
| arrived here last Thursday. In
losing sight of the green AMI beau
titul fields of Iowa at Omaha, and
pushing out upon the plains Of Ne
braska and Wyoming, where SOL
diers are stationed at intervals, ard
where all is dry and parched, one
feels like going from Paradise into
the desert, add we long for
The bright ields dressed in living green"
Not u tree, not a shrub. not a house.
not a living thing, save the antelope
and the prairie dog, appear to cheer
the eye and the heart of the traveller.
Arriving at Cheyenne we find
town which looks very much as if it
had dropped from Heaven Tor rather
the sky, for no smell of Heaven is on
iD, before it was fairly finished.
Everything is ''on pins" and of
course there is considerable activity;
but we "could not see the point" in
regard to the resources of a town on
that ''howling wilderness" 1t is
simply a II. Il. point.
In going to Denver QlO miles, you
have the mountains on the right:
first the Black Hills, then back Of
them rises the snow mountains
standing out boldly and grandly
against the sky, and decked about
with a necklace of white clouds
shining in the silver and the gold of
the sunlight. But the real silver
and gold are in the depths of the
mountains, where along the canons
are villages and men vino work at
the mines. 1t is said however that
hith erto 1t has cost as much 10 sepa-
rate the metal from the other iDgre-
dients as it is worth. The snow
upon the mountains never melts, and
is hundred feet deep in some Of the
gorges. .......

faithless on every side were desert

to the rebels, and his promotion was
rapid thereafter. In January 1868,
he was appointed Rear Admiral, and
took command of the South Auanti"
