GISIA--6RoPS AND CATTLE--CoMING ELECTION.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.I
WEST VIRGINIA, July Is, 1873.
Some time has elapsed sincef dropped you
Il line from this daughter ofithe Old Domin-
ion. But you have not needed letter from
me as you have been keeping us so
fully posted with reference to the commence
meuts of the various schools of our old
Mother. l think if were to go as far Off as
China it would afford me great pleasure to
get hold of one of your dailieS regularly
every day, it seems so like the visit of a
newsy friend from my old Mother.
must tell you now more about MERGERS
Bottom, which extends about eighteen miles
down the Ohio river, below Point Pleasant,
on the Virginia side, containing sixteen
thousand acres of land. 1t was owned once
by DR.. Hugh Mercer, who was colonel 10
the Revolutionary war. He Was with WASH
inston at Braddock's defeat. After the
death Of Colonel Mercer, who was killed du-
ring the war, this immense body of land was
inherited by his three chidren--a son
CHARLES Fcnton). and his two daughters
Mrs. Powell and Mrs, Garnettl but passed
out of their hands before their death, and is
now owned by thirty-f -four different persons.
The best land produces as much Us 125
bushels of corn 10 the acre and over forty
bushels Of wheat. One of the most enter
prsing farmers in The Bottom" told me
he made an average for ten years of twenty
tive bushels of wheat to the acre.
la grass it has been known to yield over
two tons to the acre.
| saw lot of cattle on one Of the mea-
dows, numbering fourteen, between three
and four years old, that will average over
sixteen hundred pounds; and if they are not
sold before the winter they will reach an
average of two thousand pounds.
In the Bottom you find every variety of
soil, which will produce in abundance every
variety Of grain and fruit suited to the eli.
mate.
The best lands are worth over hundred
dollars per acre.
The average width is over halfmile.
The wheat, where not killed out by the
long, severe winter, stands thick enough on
the ground, and will yield fine crop. The
recent continued rains have interfered very
much with securing the wheat already har-
vested.
The grass in all this country, extending
from Winfield down to the Point, and up
and down the Ohio for fifteen or twenty
miles, is very good indeed, but the contin-
ued wet weather will prevent the farmers
from cutting it as early as they desire.
The corn CROP, though Soma Of it was
planted late, is very fine, and if the weather
should prove fairer than at present, there
will be abundance of that "-"~'

ton for common school officers Under the
new school law.
An attempt Is making to establish high
school at Buffalo. If it proves a success we
may make il draft Upon Virginia for a
teacher to take charge Of 1t. PUT.

Gail Hamilton on Clerks.

A plainly but perfectly dressed
lady, with the best blood Of the world
in her veins, and-what is more impo5-
ing to tie haberdashing Leart-with
plenty Of money in her pocket went
not long since, into q shop to buy nap
kins. The potontate Of the counter
showed her such napery as he thought
suited to her social position. ''These
are rather coarse" she suggested.
Have you none fner?' "Ch yes, :
said the gentleman, ''but 5hey are more
expensive" It Is ever TO be regretted
that the lady turned in silence and left
the shop, because that clerk will never
know that it was his own idiotic etfront-
cry, and not the expense Of the nap
kins, which lost MIN the customer.
4 lady who never made any great
figure in the world, and certainly not
in waterproof cloak on a rainy day,
was seeking a parasol. The clerk
showed her some very common, not TO
say shabby, specimens, which she de-
clned. 4 little further down the coun-
ter she bought whole piece Of fire and
costly linen, observing which the knight
of the parasol came down and begged
her to re-examine his assortment, Of
which he had contrived 10 unearth an
altogether different and better collec-
ton. She, too, fell below the require
ments Of the occasion, and bought her
parasol without enlightening him upon
her discovery Of his stupid mistake.
A lady, large and lovely, a serene
Quaker goddess, made some benevolent
casual remark to the clerk with whom
she was tratiicking, just as she would
have patted the head of a strange dog
who might have run up and shifted at
her gown, and the little whipper-spap-
pcr clerk followed her to the door and
--winked at her! And while she stood
staring at him in her first amazed con-
sciousness of his individual existence,
he winked again. Thus vacuous do the
gods make human skull, yet furnish
it with all the gangla OF life.

Happy those merchants who can Sc
cure the right sort of clerks for a
right sort there is. [ bought table
cloth Of him yesterday. | had forgot
ten to take the size Of the table, or a
pattern of the color to be matched.
Patiently he evolved my probable needs
from my fragmentary facts, discussed
pleasantly the presumptive evidence,
and seemed S much interested in the
harmonies Of my dining room as if he
had expected to eat there thrice a day
during the remainder Of his natural life
Did he deceive me? Not a bit [
know Of surety that my dining-room
was no more to him than the peanut
stand on the common opposite Me
and it has he already alike forgotten
None the less was LIS momentary and
friendly, but not familiar, assumption
Of interest n me and mine altogether
winning and encouraging and doubt
less also was it, for that moment, alto
gether sincere. His sympathetic and
refined nature does unquestionable and
spontaneously ally itself for succor and
good cheer to all who appeal to him.
May his kind heart, his welcoming face,
and his engaging manners be a mine Of
wealth to himself and all his EMPLOYERS
and dependents.

This is the year for San Francisco to

This is the year for San Francisco to
take her census for the last decade and
indulge in her retrospections and prog
nosSications. Her ratio Of growth has
been Of the most encouraging character,
though some are not satisfied with the
record for the metropolis Of the Pacific
Slope. IN 1853 the city started ou5 on
a fair basis Of prominence with a pcnuIa-
ton Of 40, 900, which more than dou5l-
ed in ten years. Since 1853 It las more
than doahl5d again and foots 40 186,
900. If this geometrioal progression
IS TO continue It viii need vivid mag
nation to picture the ultimate greatness
Of the city Her real estate valuation
has grown in q much stronger ratio,
and in twenty years has swollen from
twenty-three and half millions to one
hundred and eigh5y-seven millions. Il
is not strange with such favorable
record the pioneers Of the city should
take New York for standard Of com
parison, and even dream of leaving hel
behind in the race for com nercial i'm.

The First Wagon from Gaiena to
Chicago.
From the GaIena Gazette.

from the NaiGna HaZette.
The frso wagon that ever went through
from Galena to Chicago was sent by Mr..
james G. Soulard, in 1929, with load
Of lead From the Galena Advertiser
(2ublished by Newhall & Philleo) /,
September Il, 1929, weclip following.
Notice how it describes the location of
Chicago, It being place which most
Galenians had never heard of before:
Mr.. james G. SouIard's wagon and
mule team returned, few days since,
from Chicago, near the southwest bend
of Lake Michigan, to which place it
had been taken across The country with
a load Of lead. This is the first wagon
that has ever passed from the Missis-
sippi to Chicago. The route taken
from the mines was, to Ogal's Ferry,
on Rock River, SO miles; thence east
50 miles to che Missionary establish
men5 OF Fox River of the Illinois, and
thence 6 no-thesterly course 60 miles
20 ohieago-as travelled, 200 miles.
The wagon was loaded with / IL tons
O. l9ac. The Trip out was performed
IN eleven, and TIE return in eight days.
The lead was taken by water from Chi.

and the shortest distance, a trip coulc
be performed N much less ti12e. And il

remember when she guided our youth
ful feet, answered our prattling call,
soothed our childhood sorrow. As we
grew older and advanced in knowledge,
how she tried to guide our heart Alright,
tried to impress upon our minds the
way to walk in the straight and mar
row path. Then her prayers, Is
there anything on this broad earth Ike
mothers prayer? She resigns all
into her Masters keeping, and with true
humble devotion bows low before the
throne, IN behalf OF her child. Do YOU
rear the low. earnest suppIication, the
deep, heartfelt prayer, THAT my chill

takes our mother. We see her living
here SO pale, cold and still. The dear
hands that have performed so many
acts Of love for US, folded quietly above
the stilled heart, the eyes are closed to
mortal sight, the ear deaf to our piteous
cry, and we wonder why God took our
mother. But while we wonder and
grleve over our great loss, the pearlv
gate IS being opened, and cur loved one
is walking the 'gold-payed Streets"
and heaven is made a little sweeter by
the song of one more redeemed soul.
For thine own sake, young man, be
kind to mother. Do you know how
many times a day she bows at the feet
Of the master and asks that my boy
may be saved? Would you know how
many prayers have gone up to high
heaven that my boy may be kept from
lntemperance, from the gaming table
and from the broad road that leads to
death? Look on her now in her accus-
toned place of devotion, pleading for you
But she will not always be there. There
will be new mound in the grave yard,
anothea singer in the New Jerusalem,
and you will be motherless. Then
stop. young man, in your mad career,
turn aside from the evil influences that
surround You, hearken to mothers re-
quest, and the noble qualities within
you will shine forth, and stamp the i'm
press of manhood on your brow. In
life, 5 stern battles you will be able to
WELD the sword Of right,a and conquer
the willy enemy, who is ever trying to
lead you down to ruin Then in the
by-and-by, when mother is called
home, you will have the pleasing REQ
| objection that you tried to make life's
| pathway pleasant fer her.-Greenwood
