Mark Twain, in the August Atlantic,
mourns over the diminished length Of
the Mississippi in this strain:
Therefore, the Mississippi, between
Cairo and New Orleans, was twelve hnn-
bred and fifteen miles long, one hundred
and seventy years ago. 1t was eleven
hundred and eighty after the cutoff OF
177c. IL WINS one thousand and forty
after the American Bend cutoff, some
sixteen OF seventeen years ago. II has
lost sixty-seven miles since. Conse-
quently, its length is only nine hundred
and seventy three miles mt present.
Now, If | wanted to be one Of those
ponderous scientific people, and let on"
to prove what had occurred in the remote
past, by what had occurred in given
time i'm the recent past, or what will occur
in the far future, by what has occurred In
late years, what nm opportunity il here
Geology never had such q chance, nor
such exact data to argue front Nor
development Of species" either! Gla-
cial epochs are great things, but they are

In the space of one hundred and sew

shortened itself two hundred and forty

over one mile and third per year.
blind or fdiotic, can see that in the Old
Oolitic Silurian Period, just o million
years ago next November, the Lower
Mississippi River was upward of one mil
lion three hundred thousand miles long,
and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico
like a fishing rod. And by the same
token, any person can see that seven hun
dred and fOrty-twO years from now tho
Lower Mississippi will be only mile and
three quarters Tong, and Cairo and New
Orleans will have Joined their streets to-
getlier, and be plodding comfortably
along under q single Mayor and mutual
Board of Aldermen. There is something

wholesome returns of conjecture out of

The Germantown Telegraph says: A
friend jOyfully told MS % few days ago of
his anticfpations In the grape way. He
had bought little place in The vicinity,
| and had made up his mind to have things
right. His maxim was that what was
worth doing ut all was worth doing well,
and be meant to do it. lie had dug out
and had filed it in with light, rich com
post, through which the roots might pass
their way In ease and comfort and live
on the fat Of the land. He had spent
considerable money in doing the job well.
He intended to get only the best vines,
and felt sure such an expenditure would
result in magnificent grapes and plenty
Of them. He had done his work well.
1t is strange that such course as this
should ever have been recommended by
horticultural writer's, but it is fact that
they have. Grapes are now 50 easily and
cheaply grown--fruit often five cents
ponnd-tEat we had well nigh forgotten
that this was the standard advice of the
books years ago. But our friend pro-
duced 1t in black and white from the
pages which he had chosen as an author
ity, and then we knew how it was IN the
Olden time.
Now, our readers at least would know
that instead of such q proceeding Az this
being an evidence of doing it well for
the grape, 1t is simply an act of folly, not
only toward ones pocket, but as an act
Of Iberality to the vine itself The
grape root needs to be warm and dry,
but this deep well in the clay encourag
ing the collection of water from all
around it, has just the contrary effect.
The roots are damp and cool, and not
warm and dry.
Indeed, it is only of late years, when
people have given up this expensive
fOOlery, that grape culture has become
tOlerable success. Under the old plan
we had failure after failure, and we came
to believe that only those varieties which
were little removed from the fox or frost
grapes could be grown, but now we have
the finer kinds getting quite common.
AS soon as we gave up this deep trench
ing nonsense grape cultnre-real grape
cnlture-took fresh start, and this real
culture consists in little more than
planting q vine in good earth, as we
would any ordinary tree, and see that it
does not want for food. This is good
grape culture In nutshell.

DEATH OF HERO OF Two BATTLES.
James Robinson, colored, the owner of
the Robinson House." on the Bull Run
battle field, near Manassas, Va, died q
few days since. He witnessed both of
the memorable battles, remaining on his
place with his family during those terri
BILE scenes of blood. His house received
hundreds Of bullets and one solid twenty
four FOUNDER, which went through bed
room, carrying away one post of bed
upon which lay sick Confederate SOL
der. He witnessed the death of the
Confederat Generals Bee and Barlow,
which took place within hundred yards
of his door. He saw the marble mOnu-
ment erected to their memory, and saw
the Federal soldiers destroy the same at
the second battle. He gathered up the
fragments and preserved them, and up
to the time of his death would give
visitors to the battle field, who desired it,
a small piece of the marble as me
meutO.

AAYlNG AEKD GARN

The experience Of the past has taught
farmers lesson that they do not always
heed-the Importance of saving seed corn
carly in the fall, and protecting it from
influences which destroy its terminating
qualities. How few there are sufficiently
particular in this respect? Often they
risk q whole crop of corn upon the neglect
Of the outlay Of a. single days labor in
saving the seed. Poor seed may germin-
ate and grow under favorable circum-
stances, but for q steady and vigorous
growth in all conditions, from the time
it was planted, the seed must be OF the
best quality.
1t is dangerous experiment in sea-
son like the present one to leave the seed
corn to dry upon the stalk, after the
blades have been bitten by frosts. 1t
can in this case neither grow nor ripen,
but must dry out. II the drying process
is not steady and rapid, the terminating
qualities become impaired and cannot be
relied upon for seed. The finest, largest,
and best rpened ears should be selected,
tied into pairs by few husks left for the
purpose, and hung in the sun long enough
to become dry, unless exposed to suf-
ficient degree of artificial heat. This
latter plan would be good one, as an
abundance of smoke would form coat
ing for the kernels and make them less
susceptible to climatic influence. Ii
farmers will pursue this plan they will be
thousand times better paid for the time
occupied than most any other work upon
the farm. When well seasoned it may
be put in dry place with the full assur-
ance Of an important beginning the next
spring for a crop of corn. 1t is very diff
ficult to put this valuable article out of
the way Of vermin, which find no trouble
to walk beneath horizontal surface, if
they have the angles of two sides to cling
to. To prevent this, frame consisting
of poles may be suspended from the raft
ers by strong wires or rods of iron.
Considerable time may be gained by
husking the corn and spreading it upon
a suspended platform. If properly dried
it may be piled several ears in depth
without danger or injury from dampness.

Enough is known already to salts
fy the people that, in spite of all the
Grand Armies" and Itves Invin-
cibles" the end of IN ,rv rule of
America is reached. Tl, Democratic
party has accomplished the restora
tion of civil government and the
total dethronement of such satraps
as Sheridan and Ruger. And for
this as in duty bound, "praise God
from whom all blessings flow" .
That California has gone Repub-
lican is barely possible, because there
has been deep feeling against Piper
for some time in his own party and
the "piece clubs" have probably
been captured for Horace Davis, who
is a popular merchant and man of
much personal magnetism. But we
don't believe the State has gone for
Hayes, just yet. Santa Clara's ma
jority will stand Alameda; and what
Hayes gains in San Francisco he viii
lose in Sonoma, which gave Irwin
l. ,120 last year. Colusa isgood for 500
to $50, Mendocino 450, Butte 450 to
500, Yolo $50 to 700 and Siskiyou
$50 for Tilden. The counties of Las
sen, Napa, Shasta, Plumas and Trim
ity will go so each for Tilden, while
Lake is good for $50 more. Solano
will give Hayes 100, Sacramento 600.

This gives Judge Jacobs 271 to go
across the mountains, for what he
gains from Pacific will not exceed
60 and that will be easily beaten in
Chehalis. The vote of Pacific conn
ty is very insignificant, Chinese Ia
borers being employed in all the
salmon fisheries. Walla Walla will
give Judson 300, and Columbia nalf
as many more. Taking the vote for
vote for Sharpstein as test, Jacobs
might be elected, even with his fall
ing-off here. Then Jacobs MAORI
ties were 121 in Yakima, 76 in Klic-
kitat, 81 in Whitman, IS in Stevens
and 157 in Pacific, making total ma
jority of 4S3.
Sharpstein's majorities were 393
in Walla Walla, % in Skamania, 81
in Waskiakum and 81 in Mason,
total of 1913. This taken as Mr..
Judson's probable vote would elect
Mr.. Jacobs by $50 majority. 1t is
conceded, however, that Mr. Sharp
stein did not poll his party vote by
good deal, as he was the attorney
of the Oregon Steam Navigation Co.,
an institution very unpopular with
the Changers of that locality. Jud-
sons vote in Walla Walla, even with
Columbia cut off, will exceed 800,
while his majorities will go to $50
in Columbia, 80 in Yakima and so in
Klickitat. Mr.. Jacobs was elected
on a local issue-the Walla Walla
railroad ---and his friends can't re-
member it.
