Wheat,

The reports in regard to the wheat
crop are contradictory. 1t is reported
by some persons as slightly damaged
Others say it is almost ruined.
G.. b. Burnett, Esq, who threshed a
great deal of the wheat raised in Stock
toms Valley, Loudon county, reports
more than an average crop and very
little damaged.
We have been informed by reliable
parties, that the crop in Fork Creek
Valley is unusually good and not dam
aged to any considerable extent.
From all the information we can
gather on the subject, we have conclu-
ded, that after all the damaged wheat
is thrown out, the amount left will be
larger and better than it was last year.

His First Pine.

A boy tried his first pipe the other
day. When his father came home to
dinner, he found him braced against
barrel, with his legs apart, his hands
and lower jaw dropping listlessly, and
a deathly pallor overspreading his
face.
What is the matter with you?n
inquired the amazed parent.
My-teacher isis sick" gasped
the boy.
Well, you mustn't feel so badly
about it, Tommy" said the father
kindly. She will get well again,
without doubt.n
And then, stepping into the house,
he observed to his wife that that was
the most sympathetic boy he ever
saw.

meal,h Maxims for summer.

Rise early-the cool morning air
will do you good. Avoid the hot sun,
unless exercising, so as to perspire
freely. Eat no unripe or stale fruit,
but of fresh, well-ripened fruit eat
freely. Avoid draughts or damp night
air; it is often pleasant, but always
dangerous. Keep your bowels In "a
healthy condition. If constipated, use
DIR. Harris Blood and Liver Pills if
troubled in the opposite way, nothing

Use "Bowles' Improved Current
Water Wheel" in rebuilding your
mills on the rivers. High water will
not effect it, unless it be to increase its
power. You can build your mill far
above the reach of these terrible fresh
cts. Without dam or race it can give
any power you need. 1t is the cheap
est, and by far the safest power for
propelling machinery ever invented.
Before rebuilding, call and examine

MEMPHIS, July q. 1875.

To the Editor Of The appeal.
see in your issue of this morning a
question raised whether the State war
rants are subject to taxation 10y the
Uuited States. No principle is better
settled than this, that the United States
can not tax the agencies of the State
Government, nor can the State tax the
agencies of the United States. This
was settled, ~ to the States, i'm 1924,
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the case of Osborne vs. Bank
of the United States (9Wheat., 73S; see

City, . Black, 620.) The grounds on
which this holding is placed apply as
well to the right of the State to have
her own agencies exempted from taxa
ton by the United States, and in prac-
tice it has always been recognized. 1t

that the United States had no power to
tax the salary of State officer The
warrants issued by State in the trans
action of her own fiscal business, are
part of her Governmental agencies in
the same sense that her Courts and
officers are.

Political News,

Tho municipal elections in Indiana Tuos,lnv
were remarkably nnd unexpectedly in favor of
the Republican party. In indianapolis tho vic
tory waa complete although every inch of ground
there had boon thoroughly canpassod, and the
Democrats had tho advantage of possession and
of somewhat lax notions of honesty, so far az
election affairs are concerned.
HUpey's Weekly well remarks
"Certainly the three latest Cabinet appont-
ments, those Of Mr.. Is ristow, Mr.. Jewell and MIR.
Pierrepont cannot be attributed to any but the
pnresr srnotives. They are all men of conceded
ability. of the highest character, and of political
standing, and that IN worth considering at II timo
when itis tho fashion to suspect and abuse every
act of the President"
The st. Louis Republican, looking forward to
tho next Presidential campaign, says "Unless
tho independent element can be caught and
liked, Democratic defeat il assured"
Tho indianapolis Journal notes a peculiar fea-
tnre of the recent election in that city. 1t says:
"Scores OF Republicans, who rank among the
best citizens and heaviest taxpayers i'll the city
remained at tho polls of their respective wards
nearly all day, using every legitimate means to
secure fair election and Republican victory
Consequently, Republican victory did follow.
The indianapolis journal says tho electoral
vote OF Indiana, as matters look now, will be
east for the Republican nominee provided he is
acceptable to the party III now organized, and is
not third-term candidate. Doubtless, 1T
adds carelessly, g tho State would give a larger
ma ajofity for Morton than for any other man. /"

special to the Commercial.
MILFORD, Del, May 10.
THIS morning, the weather is fair and warm.
Nearly all of our farmers will plant their corn
this week. The advance in the price of corn will
cause many to till more land than usual Corn
now commando a fair price, and it is said that
several who have low lands that were sowed in
wheat which the severe winter damaged to a
great extent ,are now ploughing it up liz order to
put i'll corn.
1t is generally thought that we will have fair
fruit crops, this year, as the peach don't seem
to be damaged to any great extent. The straw
berry fields look beautiful with the many white
blossoms which the last few days have brought
forth.
Times seem to be ordinarily fair. Several
persons are at work on the gas works. Some
new houses are being built, anG to-day work has
been commenced on the large brick house of Dr.
Clark, on Front st. Mr.. w. w. Dorsey expects
to build, this year, brick house OH Walnut ST.,
the first floor OF which will be used for market
house, and the second story for halls and ofi-
ces
There is strong effort to be made to finish the
M. i. Church, this year. Also the Baptists are
building themselves nice little church in Sec
end street
Work is still going on in the ship-yards. There
are two large schooners on the stocks, and rumor
says that another will soon be begun.

ton, last Tuesday night, at 4S19cts.
Our market is being very well supplied with
