The Growing Crops.

| Farmers in different portions of Co
lusa county represent the prospects for
an. unusually large crop of grain as
very hattering.
The Sutter Banner says: ga. N.
Stevenson, one of our most enterpris-
ing farmers, has put in $40 acres of
grain this season, 300 being Winter
sown. He did the work with ten head
Of horses, two of which are colts broke
in this winter. The crop is in splendid
condition. ~ af.o-.- ~ qs.fs,. b.ls
A correspondent of the Chico Enter
prise, March Goth, says !: "The crops
in Butte county are not looking well,
and the continuous rains, cold nights
and frosts have kept back the young
ance, and in many places preventing
its coming above the ground. ai.a =
A correspondent says of the crops
around Santa Rosa: eve made
circuit of twenty-five miles around the
farming region lying west of Santa
Rosa, along the SebastapOl road to the
southwark through Bluch Valley via
SabastapOl, the Laguna country and
by the Redwood road home. There is
more wheat in the ground than we ex-
pected to see after the continued rains.
1t looks healthy and vigorous. There
will be through this section the usual
amount of grain seeded, but vegetation
is from month to six weeks later than
usual. Fruit trees have just bloomed,
while upon more hardy growth the
buds are just beginning to swell"
The Marysville appeal says: 1.-THE
following paragraph is afioat on the
press wave: THE crops in Suffer
county are in splendid condition.
Much of the grain crop is SO forward
and rank that the farmers are turning
their stock upon it to eat it down.
The crops in Suffer county generally
speaking are quite backward. Though
they present a healthy green they are
not forward. There are however o
few fields of barley, bordering on the
tule lands, which was growing so rank
that about hundred head of cattle be-
longing to Townsend & Co. were turned
in to eat it down. The crops in Suffer
county have improved rapidly since
the change in the weather, and the
prospects for full yield is flattering.
The same is also true of crops in Yuba
county.u 81 ra 9fr llasa II
1t is stated that the grain crop along
the upper Sacramento is in splendid
condition-equal to anything of the
kind ever seen-and, unless some very
unusual and unfavOrable weather is
experienced, the crop will be so large
that the carrying capacity of the
steamers and railroads will be taxed to
their utmost. HEu3 saIo3 ssuD on
The Napa Reporter says the farming
prospects about Calistoga are not fiat
tering the present season. But few Of
the farmers have any considerable por-
tien of their crops in, and the rains
will make it very late getting much
more grain sown. All that many ex-
pect is good crop of hay and only
moderate yield of grain.
The farmers in Pope valley have all
got their crops in and are satisfied
with the present prospect of an abund-
ant harvest. Nearl yall the valley is
sown in grain this year, though what
ground has been reserved for hay will,
by its present appearance, turn off an
abundance.

Nothing TO Do.
BY II. CLAY PREUss.

Why, in this beautiful vineyard Of. God,
The noblest of lands that foot ever trod;
With domain so rich, and climate so fair
Where man walks the earth as free as the air
Why, in this "land of the Red, White and
Blueu .n
Are so many thousands with nothing to do ?
The masses run mad with desire for gain
All would grow rich without labor or pain,
Hard, old-fashioned work they view with dis
gust,
And would clutch. in moment, the bright
yellow dust"
BY tricling, by gambling, or some baser way
All madly aspire to be rich in day;
But failures are many, and fortunes are few,
And SO there are thousands with nothing to do.
Monopoly, too, with its strong iron hand,
Is crushing the life from our beautiful land.
Our high men in power are bought by its gold,
And already ii rules us as tyrants OF old.
Millions are taxed to enrich but the few,
And thousands are starving with nothing to
do.
The Trades Union men, like poor wretched
tools,
Are aping the rich by their hard selfish rules
They deny the poor right to ouryoung people
now
OF earning their bread by the sweat of their
brow!
Our country is filled with a sad, yelping crew
Ofyoung men and women with nothingto do.
And this rising race, who should build up our
State,
All! what in the future will be their sad fate :?
How will they live, and how will they die?
Let the poorhouse, the prison and gibbet re-
ply!
Fathers and mothers, oh! think Of the doom
That awaits your own blood in the future to
come.
All! terrible fact, that a nation must rue,
SO many thousands, and nothing to do!

The Catholics and Temperance.

In st. Louis, recently, at the regular
monthly meeting of the Father Mat
thew Young Mems Total Abstinence
and Benevolent Society, the Rev.
Father Donahue made a few remarks
on the subject of temperance. He
said: ~ am very thankful for the
very great honor you have done me,
by very cordial invitation to address
you. lam surprised and highly edited
to see so many defenders Of the virtue
of temperance before me. 1 did not
think your body was SO numerous and
vigorous. | regret very much that
can have but little to say. would
not undertake to say much on the sub
ject of temperance without prepare
tion, and as this is the last day OF our
Holy Mission, have time to say but
word or two. There are few simple
points that you ought always keep be-
perance is mortal sin and that tenn
perance is the command of God. When
we violate. this express and arbitrary
order we are disobedient, and wilfully
50, and guilty of great sin. Yours is
total abstinence society, and there is
great difference between that and
temperance. The former stands much
higher in the sight of God. Temper
ance is not mere stone in the build
ing-it is one of the mighty pillars in
| the edifice of morality. 1t is, might
say, the keystone Of the arch. Intem-
perance is the most prolific source of
evil incident to human life, 1t is the
parent of murder, robbery, theft, and
all the offences known in the calendar
of crime. Among my daily visits
with poor Christians find drink to be
the root of all their evils. When q
man is drunk he is apt to commit
crime. His tendencies are that way.
and if he does not actually commit
wrong, it is because it does not come
| in his way. The drunken man who
| commits murder is just as amenable to
God as if he did it in his sober mo-
ments. The pillars of our Church rest
upon temperance. If there is anyone
here who has been addicted to drink,
and who is familiar with the terrible
evils that grow out of a passion for
strong drink, his experience will teach
| him there is no morality and no
religion without temperance. hope
you will continue to maintain the
great interest which you now seem to
manifest in the cause. None of you
are saints, but respect you for your
| abstinence, and when shall go else
where l shall refer to you with pride,
and as a model for the imitation of
| other societies. .a

tion-in these races and these social
ranks, the power of reproduction
seems to be diminished and the family
dies out, leaving mankind to be re-
newed from the ranks of the unframed,
of the uneducated; thus great law of
incompatibility between mental de-
velopment and sexual fecundity COM

man race to higher plane and bring
ing it ever back to the starting point

evils, the chastisements that come
upon the quivering flesh; the sorrow,
the voiceless woe of the hearts
that bleed and make no sign.
"Why are they sent? For good?"
"Yet," says the author sadly, 'there
are chastisements that do not chasten;
there are trials that do not purify, and
sorrows that do not elevate. There are
pains and privations that harden the
tender heart without softening the
stubborn will there is light that leads
astray; there are virtues that dig their
own grave. There are pure searchers
after truth whose martyr spirit has
never reached the martyrs crown,
whose struggle for the light which
God has commanded them to seek has
only led them into "a land of darkness,
as darkness itself, and where the light
is as Darkness There are souls to be
reckoned by the million, low, grovel-
ling, undevelOped, desperately bad,
and which could scarcely, save by
miracle, have been other than they
are. What becomes of them? Why
are they here? What do they mean?
1t is hard to find no answer to such
questions" "Yet," says the author,
81 must believe there is some solution
to the problems, though 1 can give no
reason for the faith-only the alterna-
tive, the thought that evil is in the
order of the universe, even as good, is
too hopeless, too terrible. Problems
and enigmas which at thirty 1 fancied

Practical Railroad Legislation.

The Senate has now before it the
Chamber Of Commerce Railroad bill
introduced by Aldrich--which passed
the Assembly on Friday last, and it is
to be hoped that it will neither be de-
feated nor choaked off by delay. This
is the bill which establishes Board of
Railroad Commissioners, with such
full authority for control of lines of
transportation as is given by the Eng
lish system and rather more than is
accorded to a like Board under the
new law of Pennsylvania. 1t is not
open to the serious objections which
are urged against bills arbitrarily and
infiexibly establishing rates of fares
and freights, while it tends to the at
tainment of all the good results which
could be hoped for from such enact
ments. For this reason, as also for
the further one that it is the best bill
for railroad control which is now in
shape for action in the limited time at
the disposal of the Legislature, we
hope to see it favorably acted upon
without delay.
