State purposes for this year at 80 cents

San Francisco, having s2O6, 900, 600 on
her own roll, will have to come down
with 81, O3O, 900 for her share. This is
for the State purposes alone. The city
tax will be three times as much, and the
amount paid in duties and internal rev.
enue taxes about $4,000, 900, making a
total of s13, 100000 of taxes to be col
lected in San Francisco next year. OF
the duties on imports, about So, 600, 600
are repaid to our citizens by the people
of the coast outside of this city, leaving

or about $500 annually of tax to every
voter, on the average.-San Francisco

A BOT.HerO.

A boy-hero has been developed in
Macy Brezna, an obscure Hungarian
village lately visited by the plague.
Among the victims was a poor peasant
woman, who left behind son aged Is,
but no property. In consequence of
this latter circumstance, the parish
priest and the rest of the villagers were
in no haste to make arrangements for
her interment, and, in spite of the pray
ers and tears of the poor lad, the body
remained in the hut Two days later
peasant woman of property also died,
and a grave was Immediately dug, to be
ready for the funeral next day. When,
however, the body was carried to the
graveyard. it was found that the grave
was already filled in. The superstitious
villagers fell on their knees and crossed
themselves, but the priest, guessing
how the matter stood, sent two of the
peasants to the hut of the poor parish
ioner to see if the corpse was there.
They returned, having found the body
had been removed, and bringing the
boy with them. On being asked where
the body of his mother now was, he
pointed, sobbing, to the newly-made
grave, saying that by exerting all his
strength, he had dragged the corpse to
the graveyard, placed it in the grave, and
shOveled in the earth.

Counties

The present has not been good wheat
year in the South.
Ohio reports cover more than half the
area in wheat, and indicate very near
ly average yield, of about average
quality.
Michigan has nearly full crop of
wheat of very good quality, well Sc
cured, and generally exceeding the ex-
pectation in thrashing.
In Indiana this crop has suffered from
winter-killing, the fly, chinch-bug, and
heavy rains in the shock, causes which
indicate a depreciation of sixteen per
cent.
In forty-three counties in Illinois the
average is ninety-three.
Wisconsin makes very encouraging re-
turns, in no case below 100, and averag-
ing 107 upon an increased area.
Minnesota is the banner State of the
year upon wheat production. Increased
acreage in new and old counties was
returned In June, and the average for
condition is 100. In several counties it
is claimed to be the best crop for many
years, both for quality and quantity.

Missouri has secured an average
crop, mostly of good quality. Chinch
bugs caused reduced yield in some
counties.
The crop in Nebraska is large and the
quality excellent.
The crop of California is not SO good
as was expected; a large reduction from
the yield of last year may be calculated
upon.
In Oregon no county reports less than

THE OLD CANOE.

Where the rocks are gray and the shore is steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep,
Where the rugged pine, in its lonely pride,
Leans gloomily over the murky tide
Where the reeds and PUSHES are long and rank
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank;
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day through,
The useless paddles are idly dropped.
Like sea-bird's wings that the storm has Topped,
And crossed on the railing, one DER one,
Like the folded hands when the work is dome.
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl, with his dull Z" too-hoo-
Settles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half sunk in the Shiny wave
Rots slowly away in its living grave
And the green moss creeps DER its dull decay,
Hiding its moldering dust away
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb flower,
Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower:
While many blossom of loveliest hue
Springs up DER the stern Of the old canoe.
the currentless waters dead and still
But the light wind plays with the boat at viii,
And laZiy in and out again
1t floats the length of the rusty chain,
Like the weary march of the hands of time,
That meet and part at the noontide chime,
And the shore is kissed at each turning
BY the dripping bow of the old canoe.
Oh, many time, with a careless hand,
have pushed it away from the pebbly strand,

Where the whirls wild and the eddies are thick

And looked below in the broken tide
To see that the faces and boats were two,
That were mirrored back from the old canoe.
But now, as lean DER the crumbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide,
The face that gee there is grayer grown,
And the laugh that hear has soberer tone,
And the hands that lent to the light skiff wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things,
But love to think of the hours that sped
As rocked where the whirls their white spray she'd
Ere the blossoms waved, OF the green grass grew
Ger the modering stern of the old canon.

Wilkie Collins and Charles Bradlaugh,

A New York telegram says: At the
reception of Wilkie Collins at the Lotus
Club on Saturday night a remarkable
scene followed the introduction of
Charles Bradlaugh, late in the evening,
in the restaurant. He referred point
edly to the fact that class distinctions
in England were so great that this
American club had given him on foreign
soil the first opportunity of his life to
meet countryman whom he was SO
glad to honor, and even to say a word
in his praise. "There was no club in
England, said he, "that would give
me an equal privilege" The speech
was received with wild outbursts of en-
thusiasm. Prolonged cheers were
given, and even after Bradlaugh had
turned to his seat at the table beside
Collins the crowd continued cheering
until he came forward and spoke briefly
again.

A Curious Card.

The card in which Mr.. Preston declared
his purpose to resume is peculiar, but
said to be characteristic. He starts out
in this way:
cts good. There's light ahead /;
there's help in God; there's wealth in
Jesus there's power in prayer. I
landed in Detroit Nov. 4, 184S. 1 Dor
rowed S12 to bring me here. 1 got a
situation at S12 per month, and in less
than two months I had paid this S12
from my wages. On the 4th of May,
1852, / married a good wife, and in less
than one week thereafter I embarked in
business under the style of David Pres
ton & Co., bankers and brokers. My
entire capital at that time, out of which
I had to furnish home and start my
bank, was less than $500. In May,
1854, had amassed fortune of near
s., 900, and with this increased capital
I opened bank in Chicago. In the
month of August following, Mr.. A.
Klemm, our banker at No. 80 Wall
street, New York, failed, with $4,000 OF
our money in his possession, which was
all we were worth and little more. We
never realized but S15 out of this Sc, 900,
and yet did not commit suicide, run
away, compromise, or resign. Iprayed
and soOrked and paid, and have been
doing the same kind of business ever
since, and / expect to fight it out on
this line to the end of my journey"
