many farmers Of the county wto are now

almost unanimous as to the prospects for
an abundant wheat crop, which they say
never looked better at this season Of the
year than it does now. Though the
spring has been an unusually wet one IL
is the general opinion tina, there is 20.
time to put in good corn crop, and with
favorable weather an average crop can be
produced. Other crops are looking VOL

How She Turned PRESBYTERIAN.

Mrs. Magruder will probably leave
Mr.. Hopkins church, and 60 hereafter
to the Presbyterian Westinghouse. DIR.
Hopkins last week had frightful boil
on his leg, and he experienced very Sc
we're pain when he tried to walk While
he was sitting in his study on Friday,
Mrs. Magruder called and was ushered
into the parlor. The servant went up
the back stairs to tell the Doctor, and
while she was on her way the Doctor
started down the front stairs to get a
drink of water. It hurt him so much to
walk up the steps that he concluded to
slide down the banisters on his stom.
ach and so, looking carefully over the
landing to satisfy himself that nobody
was about, he mounted the banisters
and began to descend. The stairs ran
directly past the parlor door, and Mrs.
Magruder was amazed to see the clergy
man descending with great rapidity in
that singular fashion. It seems that the
servant had placed coal scuttle by the
newel-post while she went for the Doc
toT, and as he descended with the awful
velocity he aighted in the scuttle and
fell to tho floor. Without being aware
of the presence of the visitor, he leaped
up in rage, and exclaiming, Chang
that woman !" gave the scuttle kick,
which sent it whirling into the parlor,
where it brought up in Mrs. Magruder' g
lap. OF course she thought the de-
monstration a d ejaculation were in
tended for her, and after rising to her
feet and shaking her umbrella at her
pastor. she shouted. eff Won kick an
other coal-scuttle at me I'll punch you
with this yer umbrella !" She emerged
from the front door with the conviction
that Presbyterianism was the only re-
ligion for her.-BostOn GlCbe.

THE KINGS PICTURE.

There is in every human being, however igno-
Bile, some hint of perfection; some one place
where (as We may fancy, the veil is thin which
hides the divinity behind it.-CoT5ucidn CldsscS.l
The King from the council chamber
Came weary and sore of heart;
he called for Hiff. tie painter,
And spake to him apart:
q am sick Of faces ignobie.
Hypocrites, towards and knaves
shall shrink to their shrunken measure,
Chief slave in a realm of slaves.
Paint me q true mans picture,
Gracious and wise and good;
lowered with the strength Of heroes,
And the beauty of womsnhood-
Ii shall hang in my inmost chamber,
That thither, wlenI retire.
It may M my soul With its grandeur,
And warm II with sacred fire."
So tbs artist painted the picture
And it hung in the palace hall;
Never thing so g0odly
Had garnished the stately wall.
The King, with head uncovered,
Gazed ON II with rapt delight,
Till IL suddenly wore strange meaning,
And ba ed his questioning sight.
For the form was his Simplest -eourtier's,
Perfect IN every limb;
But The bearing was that of the henchnan
Who filed the fagons for him;
The brow was priests who pondered
His parchrnents early and late;
The eye was q wandering minstrel's
Who sang at the palace gate.
The lips, half sad and half mirthful,
With fitting tremulous grace,
Were the very lips of a woman
he had kissed in the market-place;
But the smile which her curves TRANSPORTED
As rose with a simmer of dew,
Was the smile of the wife who loved him,
Queen Ethelyn, good and true.
Then, Learn, o King" said the artist,
This truth that the picture tells
How, in every form of the human.
Some hint of the Highest dwels;
How scanning each living temple
For the place where the veil is thin,
We may gather, by beautiful glimpses,
The form of the God Within

1873 there were 100 ships built on the
Clyde, representing tonnage of 251,-
S46 tons. This year the number is ex-
pected to be 200. Of those enumerated
121 were large sea-going steamers, 10

"Foes Of the Farmers''-Prof. Perry's Ad.
draas

"Foes Of the Farmers'-Prof. Perry's Ad-
dress.
Prof. Perry, of Williams College,
delivered IN entertaining and in
s~tructiYe address, entitled '.The
Foes of the Farmers" before the
State Agricultural Society at the
Baptist Church last night. He
dwelt at considerable length upon
the financial question. The princi-
pal points made by him in his ad-
dress, are as followsi
/. Farmers ale really almost ev.
erybody, but have been heretofore
politically nobody, and have now
wisely made up their minds to be
somebody.
2. Nature is a friend to the tillers
of the soil.
3. Farmers generally will do
well to have one, two, three, or
more products to sell subsidiary to
their main crop.
4. The best legislation for farm
erS is "let alone " but actual legis-
lation is almost always against
them.
8. When dollars begin to dance
up and down in value, farmers be-
gin to dance to a doleful tune.
6, Neutrality-suspicious. are
worst than any other kind of grass
hoppers for the farmers.
Z. Protection is to industry what
n choking collar is to a man. 1t
stops healthful circulation both
ways.
8. Permanent parties, and espe-
cially parties with the principles
slipped out, are of doubtful utility.
Farmers are the men to abolish
them.
9. Vote only for good men, who
believe substantially as youdo, with
out the slightest reference to worm
out names and shiboleths.
10. Keep the eyes open look into
the nature of things; "watch and
pray" and hate debt next to- the
devil.

Omaha may well feel proud of

the State Fair in this respect attracts
universal attention.

"A very noticeable and satlsfac-
Tory feature of the State Fair was
the almost entire absence of drunk
enness and crime generally. There
were only two cases before the Police
Court to-day, one for drunkenness
and the other for disturbance of the
peace.
The Catholic Fair for the bene-
fit Of the Sisters of Mercy in their
works of charity, opened at Creigh-

articles for sale is very creditable
and extensive. Music is in attend

PROFESSOR PERRY'S so-called
agricultural Grafton proved after all
to be a mere political harrangue in
the interest of the Democracy.
The text "free trade and hard
money" was evidently prepared
with great care by Morton, Miller &
Co., with a view of strengthening
the Democratic ticket.
1t was also a very ingenious effort
in behalf of transportation monop-
olies. Instead of advising Nebras-
ka farmers to encourage home in
dustry and thus build up a homs
market for their produce, this free
trade philosopher advises them to
exchange their products in the pau
per labor market of Europe for their
plows, agricultural machinery, cut
lery and clothing. This would prac-
tically force American mechanics
and laborers who are now consum-
ers to abandon their workshops and
factories and become producers. In
other words, the great industries of
America now employ several mill
lions of mechanics and laborers
would be paralized and destroyed,
because American labor could not
possibly compete with the cheap la
labor of the foreign countries.
If the western farmers
should be silly enough to follow
Professora Perry's advice, they
would have to transport every BUSH
ell of grain now consumed by their
very best and most reliable custo-
mers, the American mechanics,
across the Atlantic.
This would of course be very
profitable for the transportation
monopolies; but it would be the
death of the producing class. tits
to be regretted that an orator at an
agricultural fair should so prostitute
his talents as to play into the hands
ofdemagogues ofthe Old Democratic
School.

In order to explain this transao-
ton more fully, it may be necessary
to call to mind the moduS Opsrdndi
used in building the U. P. r. r..
After the regular and lawful stock
holders In the railroad had formed
their company, seven trustees, the
parties named in the assignment of
Davis, formed themselves into a
company ostensibly to obtain credit
and funds to build the road. They
bought the charter of an old OUTFIT
called the "Penn. Fiscal Agency"
1t allowed them to let contracts,
handle the money, make the divi-
dends and in fact transact all the
business of the road They dubbed
this machinery the "Credit Mobilier
of America" They not only con-
trolled their own operations but bv
an agreement they induced the U.
P. stockholders to sign, these Credit
Mobilier stockholders were to vote
siX-tenths of their stock, thus giving
them complete control of the Union
Pacific railroad company in its BUSH
ness transactions.
1t was to this r. r. Ring, within
a ring, represented by these seven
trustees, that this virtuous political
reformer, Major Davis, assigned a
contract, the profits of which
amounted to eight millions of dol
lars for the paltry sun of three l3l
or five Isl thousand dollars, and
signed the contract, knowing he
should so assign it, whenever the
trustees demanded it. And yet he
says he mad nothing to do with Gre
dit Mobilier.
