supposed to he honest.
This was all there was exciting. 1t
was a hcalthful excitement. 1t is rather
new fashion though. to boldly charge
dishonesty upon man in public
meeting, but where dishonesty is known
it is the right way to keep corporations
clean of corrupt managers. and perhaps
the best way.
Mr.. George made another truthful
declaration that if stockholders in cor
p"rations wished to preserve their in

they must elect none hut honest men to
take charge of their interests. The
times. just now. call for strict observ-
ance of this rule.

that will inurc to the benefit of the

any way the interests of the Concord.

NAal II tests.

The price Of q ticket TO Sip Francisco
and back over the Union Pacific and
Central Pacific roads is q little less than
three hundred dollars. To this must be
added the expenses of seven or eieh,
days meals averaging three dollars u
day, also the additional expense Of o
compartment 10 the Pullman car. With
out this latter the journey would be
uuendurably fa'iguins; with it, it is sur
pri.ingly comfortable.
Upon the margin of the long railway
map furnished 10 travellers We read, that
a sleeping berth from New York to San
Francisco can be procured for eleven
do lars. which certainly sounds remark
ably cheap. But this does not mean a
section, or even half o section: it refers
to the minimum Of space, that is, half
of one Of the bertbs, upper or under,
three other persons occupying the re
mainjer of the section. Now few per.
sons can be realy comfortable With less
than whole section. certainly no lady
travelling alone could be,-and o whole
section costs forty four dollars. 1t will
bo seen therefore that compartment in
the =. p & is considerable item in the
expenses of the trip.
Hotel charges in California are not so
high as with us. being three dollars
sometimes two dollars and half,-a da~.
Carriage fares are exceedingly dear, stage
fares less than in the East,-on the
White Mou'an road for instance. The
Yo Semitic excursion is an extremely
costly one. No one should undertake it
without an allowance Of from ten to 6f-
teen days Cat leasD in time. and from one
hundred and thirty to one hundred and
fifty dollars in money. 1t gill then be
easily seen. that it is safe to estimate tie
expense OF two months Of travel in Cali.
fornia to vary from seven TO eight hun
dred dollars, according as the traveller is
or is not an economist. To reckon il rs
less would be TO misleai. And this,
observe, is in gold aud does not include
any of the longer excursions-Southerp

Sound all Of which furnish points Of

Wheat in Missouri.

Farmers in st. Clair county have their
oats all sowp. and Il have large crops
of corn. Wheat never looked more
promising.
Some Of the farmers whom We have
talked with inform US that the wheat is
looking very well iu this county'-Sulii
van County Standard.
There is not large amount Of land
devoted to wheat 10 this locality this
year, but the crop sow is represented as
being very promising -Shelbiua Demo

The wheat 10 Greenwood is looking
6ne and grass is we'll started, but the
same about the summit is looking better
than here. Many are rejoicing at its
promising appearance, hoping -four may
be lower priced another winter.-John
son County Standard.
Many fields which we're late sown and
apparently without single plant have
assumed the green, and indications DOW
are that the whea,acrop of this county
will be fully up TO the average. Owing
to the drou,h last fall a very small area
was sown to this crop -Potosi lnde
pendent.
The prospect for an average crop Of
wheat in Caldwell county is good better
than for several years There was not
as much sown last fall as usual, on
account of the high price Of seed, but
tho ground was well farmed before seed.

A gentleman writes the Sedalia Demo
crat from Lebanon, Cooper county, tha,
the wheat prospects are very fatering
in that portion Of the county even whea
sown broadcast looks inc. IF the presen
crop is not injured by other causes, i
will be the best crop raised for years.
The wheat crop In jackson county il
very promising, that is, SO much as ha
been planted. Owing to former bat
crop years, and a scarcity of seed,
smaller area is in wheat this year thai
for several years past. We predict tha
this years crop will give wheat raisin
new impetus in this section.--Inde

THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN FRANCE
The patched-up alliance between the Bourbons
and Orleanists of France has been of short dura-
ton. The ancient enmity has broken out in a
violet quarrel between the factions the basis of
which Is that the adherents of the Count de
Chambord accuse the friends Of the Orleans
Princes OF compromising with the government
ana deserving the compact to oppose il. II,
would be eminently creditable to the Orleanists
if they have ceased TO continue in a condition
of antagoAism to the Republic.
The official reporter Of the committee of th:r-
ty, the Duke de Broglie, yesterday presented its
report to the French National Assembly The

conclusion was an appeal to all parties for con-
eiliatiOn, that the country may have a sound
constitution. Tuesday next was appointed to
consider the report.
