The Damaged wheat.

Yesterday morning we conversed on the
subject Of the damage to the wheat by the
recent rains, with one of the heaviest wheat
growers in East Tennessee, and who is
well known rs a gentleman of correct judg-
ment and extended information.
lie says that over the State there is stand
ing in shocks or stacks, in the fields, fully
tgo-thirds of the wheat crop. Up TO
Saturday last, while the outside of the
shocks were wet, the wheat had not sprout-
ed, but on Sunday night, the sides and tops
of the shocks were covered with roots and
sprouts two and a half inches in length.
The outside sheaves form about three
quarters of the shock, and that amount is
entirely worthless, being perfectly matted
and rotten with sprouts. The remaining
one-quarter Of the shock, he says, is perfectly
good, and would remain so for some days.
He has ascertained these facts by close OBJ
servation both on his own and other fields.
In two hundred acre field of his own, he
found the above condition to exist through
out.
Should the weather clear off now, the
grain can be threshed out or otherwise
cared for by the middle of next week.
He thinks that the stacked wheat has
been damaged in proportion to that of the
grain in shocks, and that at the best there
will not be more than enough saved to be
put in for next seasons crop.
In al, it is the opinion of the gentleman
that our nine days rain has injured the
wheat crop fully as much as was at first
supposed it had done. Most of farmers,
like himself, delayed threshing on account
of the favorable looks of the weather, and
the demand made upon their time by the
fast growing corn crops. This is an I'M
fortunate turn of affairs, both to our farm
ers and the community at large hGttG-

THE FICKLENEss OF FAME.

Everybody who remembers the first days
of the late war, remembers Col. Ellsworth,
who was murdered aud promptly avenged
in the streets of Alexandria, Va. With
great pomp of funeral honors be was borne
through the country, all the loyal States
'like crape-veiled women standing" monrn-
ing loyal son. Remember this, it will
surprise many to know that his grave has
been neglected; that no monument marks
the resting-place Of his remaiI.s. 1t is a
striking comment on the fickleness of fame
to hear from the lips of Col. Ellsworth's
father how the people grew, by degrees, for
getful of their duty. Speaking TO news
paper correspondent, he says: "When FL
mer fell, so many people and societies were
going to put up monument that suppose
they got it all mixed up. First, the Chica-
go people were going to do it, then the regi-
ment, and then the State. Then the citi-
zen around here made an attempt, but still
it remains undone, and nothing has been
done for my poor boy but foundation for
a monument, which | made with my own
hands. went up there and dug up the
dirt and laid the stoue myself with my own
hands, so as to have it ready for the monu-
ment, but none ever came" $40 you
think one will Gomez" l asked. "Well,
ha-dly now" he continued with a sigh
With this evidence it is easy to understand
what is meant by "the ingratitude of re-
publican imputation which the Ameri-
can people should never allow to rest upon
their name through neglecting the memory
Of heroes.

THE SONG OF A SUMNER.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MoULToN.

BY LOUISE CHANDLEE MOULION"
plucked an apple from on a tree,
Golden and rosy, and fair to see
The sunshine had led it with warmth and light
The dews had freshened it night by night,
And high on the tOpmOst bough it grew,
Where the winds of heaven about it blew,
And while the mornings were soft and young
The wild-birds circled, and scared and sung
There, in the storm, and calm, and shine,
1t ripened and frightened, this apple of mine,
Till the day plucked il from of the tree,
Golden and rosy, and fair TO see.
How could guess meath that daintiest rind,
That the core of sweetness hoped TO find
The innermost, hidden heart of the bliss,
Which dews and winds and the sunshine's kiss
Had tended and fostered by day and night
Was black with mildew and bitter with blight?
Golden and rosy, and fair of skin,
Nothing but ashes and ruin within?
Ali never again with toll and pain
VIII strive the topmOst bough to gain
Though its wind-swung apples are fair TO see,
On lower branch is the fruit for me.

EXTRAORDINARILY BRIDGE.

The railroad bridge which is to extend
across the harbor of San Francisco from
the main land to Goat Island, and to which
the citizens have been strongly opposed, is
to be somewhat of an architectural novelty.
II isto berun through an immense tube OF
boiler iron, which supports itself in the
water by its own buoyancy, and is held
some thirty feet below the surface by a
complicated system of cables, anchors and
bueys. The tube is twenty feet in dame
ter, and is strengthened by an internal
frame work of iron beams. The principal
problem with the engineer was to have the
buoyancy of the tube equal the weight of a
train of cars, so as TO require the minimum
of anchorage or support. Should the
bridge prove success, submarine railroad
tubes may become quite common, as they
may be used where regular tunnels would
be impracticable,or at least very expensive.

THE Stockton (Cal.) Independent, of
June "A, says: "On the west side of the
Sau Joaquin river, in this valley, there is a
grain field which extends for thirty-five
miles, and is of an average width Of eight
miles, thus covering an area OF l79,2O0
acres. Persons who have lately travelled
through this immense grain field, estimate
the total average yield at sixteen bushels
to the acre, which will give total yield of
2,S67,200 bushels, or S6,0l5 tons. There is,
however, much larger area cultivated IN
grain on the east side of the San Joaquin
than on the west side. From Lathrop to
MERGED, distance of over fifty miles, the
railroad runs through an almost unbroken
grain field, extending as far as the eye can
see on either side. The product of this
whole valley will be much greater than
ever before, and the railroad company will
find it very difficult to move the immense
amount to the market before the rainy sea-

A South street boy can make one hundred

The feeling of his broken hearted father
when reaching for him with a strap can bet

The difference in natures was well Illus
trated at the depot this morning. Two sis
tiers met. 90, my dear sister," said one,
exhausted, as they embraced. "You've
been eating onions" said the other, calmly
and fearlessly.
A young merchant, who is trying to
struggle along in a falsely economical way,
took class in ore OF our Sunday schools
last Sabbath. During the progress of the
lesson he asked, s'What is soIitude?" and
was visibly disturbed when a miserable boy
promptly answered, "The store that don't

There were three mad dogs on Main
street Saturday night. They weren't mad
until they met each other. A few words
were exchanged and the combat commenc-
ed at once They snapped around pretty
freely f r moment, and stirred up cloud
of dust that completely obscured what little
sight rage had left them. Then they went
into it lively. They didn't touch each
other because they d dn't know where
each other was, but they danced around,
first on their forward legs and then on
their hind legs, and howled and swore, and
sneezed and checked, and bit great round
chunks out of the atmosphere, and carried
on dreadfully for five minutes. After that
they withdrew one side to a cool spot
where they could sit down and think.
The most faithful lover who has a name

A RETURN has just been issued by the
House of Commons about absenteeism. 1t
appears that less than 10000 persons own
the soil of Ireland, of whom 5,9S2 own less
than 100 acres. These, of course, are resi-
dent; and so are 5,589 more, owning an av-
erage of 1000 acres apiece; while only l .443,
owning altogether 3,l45,5l4 acres, or a
seventh of the soil, are usually resident out
side the island. A considerable number,
4, 1855, reside away from their properties, but
still in Ireland, and the remaining few are
occasional visitors. Absenteeism can hard
ly be counted, therefore, among the grand
grievances of Ireland, more especially as
many of the richest absentees are among
the more spirited and lenient landlords.
Lord Palmerston, for example, was much
better man to live under than any resident
squireen.

ANOBLE DEED.

There are many deeds Of personal bravery
Of the highest type in private life which,
though not pertaining to the "glOrious cir
cumstancen of war, are as much entitled to
admiration as any occurrences of the deadly
breach or crashing charge. One of this
character occurred lately in Pennsylvania.
A locomotive which had been abandoned by
its engineer, near Shamokin, after the cars
had become disconnected by an accident,
went flying along the rails at speed Of
thirty five miles an hour. In a few minutes
the passenger train from Sunbury was due,
and if the engine kept on a collision would
be inevitable, the results of which would
unquestionably involve loss of life and prop
erty. A young man named Miles Gray, q
railroad employee, took in the situation at q
glance, and, as the locomotive was dashing
by, he sprung upon it and succeeded in stop
it just three minutes before the passenger
train arrived. The action involved great
personal risk, and doubtless prevented .
most serious calamity. Such a brave act
ought not to be passed unnoticed by the rail-
road authorities.

THERE have been fears for some time
that the rapid rate at which quinine yield
ing trees were being destroyed would, at
no distant day, produce a scarcity of that
valuable and almost indispensable medicine.
Physicians. have, therefore, been in search
of something that could take its place in
case of the failure of an adequate supply.
We notice that new drug, obtained from
the Eucalyptus gLobulus, or blue gum tree,
is obtaining much favo- among foreign ply
sicians as a remedy in intermittent fevers.
The tree is a native of Australia, but is
now cultivated in Corsica and the south OF
Europe. The leaves, bark and wood have
all been used with success. According to
an analysis made by Professors Vanqulin
and Leiciana, the tree yields an aikaloid
strikingly like quinine.
