The Crops, Fruit, ECt.

From personal observation, ex-
tending over several counties, from
the letters of our correspondents, and
| from our exchanges, ranging through
almost all the counties of Iowa, we
conclude that the first day of June
never saw a better prospect for an
abundant harvest in this state. The
wheat now heading out, stands well
on the ground, and the cool, dry
weather, especially for the winter
variety, during the greater part Of
May, was very favorable. The
spring wheat and the oats are also
doing well. The breadth of corn
planted is very large, the stand is ex-
cellent, and the ground is in first rate
order. Cultiyating has commenced,
| and the rains and warm weather Of
last week have given it a capital
start. On the potatoes alone there is
a draWback-the inrOads Of the bugs
have already excited considerable
apprehension. We are in the midst
Of the strawberry season in this re-
gion. They are abundant, of good
size and excellent flavor. Cherries
are also coming in freely, and there
is everywhere promise of an abund-
ance. Peaches promise an abundant
yield, and theapplesfair. Altogether,
then June opens with golden pros
| poets for the farmer and horticultur-
list; and as their prosperity is the
prosperity of all classes, the whole
may rejoice in the glad visions of
abundance which greet the opening
of Summer.-Hdlckeye.

A Royal Nurse.

The Dauphine never showed more
grandeur of character than when her
husband was seized with the loath-
some and then common disease, the
smallpox. Dumoulin, the chief ply
stefan, insisted on bleeding him freely
at the foot. 'The Prince may die
under it," he said; che will certainly
die without it," This was said to
Louis XIV, who replied, "Then let
him be bled." 1t was done, suppur-
alton ensued, and the Dauphin
looked hideous. Neither by per-
suasion nor force could his wife be
kept from closely tending him.
When the consequent peril was
limited, she answered, eff a Dau-
phine dies you can easily get another;
but the loss of Dauphin cannot be
made good. Besides" she added, 81
am, for the present, no longer Dau-
phine; l am only an ordinary nurse"
She had ten times the courage Of the
man over whom she watched so
bravely and SO tenderly. 1t was not
etiquette to tell him the nature OF
his complaint, nor did he want to be
told; yet had he fearful curiosity to
know. And here comes story of
wifely love and fidelity-thuS:
Zone day he asked for the Gdzene
de Paris, a paper in which the nature
of his malady and the bulletin OF his
health were sure to be printed. But
see what care was then taken of
the nerves of princes!-a copy OF the
paper was printed, in anticipation OF
his request. in which the ugly quail
ity of his malady was not alluded to-.
Still, his suspicion rendered him
uneasy. On another occasion, he
asked for silver plate and napkin.
When these were presented to him,
ne feebly polished up the surface of
The plate, and gazed into it as if it
were mirror, for which he was
probably afraid to ask. AS his room
was dark, and the curtains Of his bed
were drawn, he was unable to dis
cover any reflection of his face in the
silver. His supreme tact was selfish
ana detestable. He was at his worst
when ne asked the Dauphine, who
was sitting near him, to kiss him.
"ithouthesitatiOn, the brave woman
stopped to that repulsive face and
kissed 1t heartily. The act dispelled
ms suspicious, but it put dearer life
III double peril. -Ea.

division and dissolution of the DEM
ocratic party, or promises the speedy
return of the Democracy to power in
the National Government
There is no division of opinion in
the Democratic party with regard to
this question. The Democracy have
accepted the Amendments, and in
tend to abide By them. This is the
announcement of the Democratic
press all over the country, and that
announcement was made long before
the little Convention at Dayton eX-
pressed the purpose of the party.
The Times has repeatedly, within the
past two years, said that the Demo-
cratic party had no thought of disturb
ing the Amendments"
Here the great thunderer of West
ern Democracy agrees with Nalan-
digham and the New York IPortd,
that the Constitutional Amendments
are accomplished facts, and should
not be disturbed Courier.

The GOyernOrship.

The Muscatine Journal says: "Of
the seven counties in the State which
have up to this time appointed dele
gates to the Republican State Con-
vention, five have instructed for
O'Connor. The instructed counties
are Muscatine, Keokuk, Page, Mont
gomery and Butler. Jasper is under
stood to be for O'Connor also, while
Marshall is reported to be four for
Carpenter, four for Scott and three
scattering"
After the Muscatine County Re-
publican Convention had instructed
its delegates to support Maj. OCon-
nor for Governor, the Major was
sent for for speech. We quote the
closing paragraph of his remarks, in
which he pays generous and yet
merited compliment to his worthy
competition: "But whatever may
be the result Of the coming State Con-
vention-whether your kind wishes,
fellow citizens, as to myself, shall be
realized or not-of this / can assure
you, that my grateful remembrance
of the generosity and kindness of the
people of Muscatine shall be cher
ished no less warmly; nor will my
devotion to those cardinal principles
of liberty and justice upon which the
Republican party is founded be less
ened in the slightest degree. One
other word: The two gentlemen
who are most prominent as compe-
titors in this honorable struggle !
have known long and well, and | say
without any affectation of compli-
ment, that in the qualities that make
up the gentleman and good citizen,
Coils. John Scott and Cyrus c. Car
penter have no superiors in Iowa,
and should either of them be preferred
to myself, I am sure / can and will
work with more zeal and earnestness
for his election than / could under
any circumstances for my own"
