coming to market. We hear the same
talk now about the growing crop, but
there will be more caution at the South
in accepting the bear side OF the story,
The exports for the wholcy year have been
100000 bales, against 2,sl2,OOO,l last year.
The visible supply Of American on both
sides Of the Atlantic is 0ji,Gi2 bales,
against OlO,j02, last year at this time,
About two.thirds Of the present acreage
has been subject to drouth, which has
been relieved in some sections by rains.
The danger OF serious overflow Of the
Mississippi has passed. We shall have
to wait fortnight, probably, before a
very accurate estimate Of the damage
done ia the cereal crops can be made. As
harvesting progresses, the damage will
become apparent, With the old stock Of
wheat left over and the new crop, We shall
still, probably, be able to spare 75,OOO,0OO
bushels, il we can find market for 50
much, For the past year lending June

SENATOR SHERMAN il talking very
confidently Of the prospects in Ohio. He
thinks the republicans will gain more
votes than they will lose on the currency
issue, that they will do better in Cincin-
natl than for years past, that the Western
Reserve will pile up majorities with a
perfect loOsencss, that they are going to
give the democrats a surprise party in the
mining region, and, in fine, that Hayes is
rs good as elected already. His intima-
ton about the miners is confirmed by a
very intelligent correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, who has been among
them, and who Is satisfied from what he
saw and heard that Sam Cary and Ewing
overdid the demagogue business badly,rc-
polling and disgusting where they hoped
to convince and infame. The Cincinnati
Enquirer, we notice, sees in the recent
floods a special interposition Of provi'
dcnce in behalf Of the democratic ticket,
and is more rccklcssly liberal in its esti-
mates Of majoritics than ever. But the
Enquirer has been just as certain on pre-
yious occasions.

When Joab, the commandcr.in.chicf

Of Davids exclamation ,Ioab determined
to 90 on journey and inspect the world.
On his way he came into the house Of n
poor man who had wClvcolildrcn whom
he supposed very moral by his industry.
Ioah made proposition to him to give
him one Of the twelve children for 90
much money, with which latter he con Id
better support himself and his remaining
family. But the good father refused ii
heartily. Then the COmnandCr.in.Chief
resolved to persuade the mother to let
him have one child for n hundred gold
pieces. In the beginning the mother re-.
fused to accept Joab's proposition, but f.

the father came home and had begun
sharing his bread, which he cut ns usual
in fourteen pieces for himself, wife, and
twelve children, he missed one 0itllc child.

Of the child. The mother confessed Ia
what had happened during his absence.
Upon hearing II he took neither meat nor
drink, but went out the next morning
with the resolution to meet JOah in order
to return To him the hundred gold pieces,
and to kill him in case he refuicd to re-.
store his child. After much talk and the
poor mans threat to kill Joah, the latter
delivered the child 10 its father. and cx.
claimed ayes, David ia right; Gods love

WASHINGTON, June 4.-There has
been considerable excitement in the
Treasury to-day over rumors that the
party who committed the robbery of
600 on Wednesday had been ar
rested. Officers deny the rumors.
The Indians were photographed to-
day, in group. Red Cloud refused
to have his picture taken, but said
they might have it for $500.
In short conference, Sec'y Delano
said If they didn't believe him, he was
afraid they would believe him hereaf-
ter to their sorrow. If they would
take the $25,O0O, he would try and get
5000 more next winter. If they did
not, he would refuse to let them have
tho privilege of hunting on Smoky
Hill Fork any longer. He could not
afford to have the peace of the coun-
try disturbed, and in danger of mur-
ders. A commissioner had been sent
to the Black Hills to see if there was
any gold there. Neither he or the
President knew whether there was or
not. Ii there was, it would be impos-
sible to keep the whites out. Neither
tho Indians nor the whites could al
ways restrain their young men, ifgold
was found there. The government
would pay literally for the lands. He
desired them to talk it all over at
home and return an answer as soon as
possible.

from his farm, nine miles west OF

"Thc raysges Of the grasshorl crs

that thsy have not eaten the wheat, but

the stocks Of nearly every wheat field
In this vicinity, and now, that the
wheat heads are appearing, they arc
eating them. Tho corn is nearly oil
eaten up, there being only here and
. few patches that have escaped. All
the potatoes that have come up orc
eaten oil tho tame grass meadows are
