ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

TIE HERALD acknowledges the re-
ceipt OF y work entitled: TX. X X.
Humorous and Diatactic."
Tue writer has only had an hour or
two to glance over the volume. He
may he mistaken, but he can hardly
call the work humorous, more espe-
cially when the Louisiana parishes
are called counties. The general idea
seems to be that secret societies have
worked great harm In America and
Europe. His ideas about the knklux
In the South are wrong, as we all
know. The author goes ON to say that
Lord Beacontield agrees with him to
the extent Of the Servian and Turkish
trou bile being the result OF secret socie-
ties In Europe or Asia.

With very few exceptions the reports
from all quarters are Of big and good
crops OF all kinds. To the majority OF
the Western and Southern farmers is a
very year of jubilee. In Texas, nothing
like the great crops on hand throughout
the State has ever been known-splendid
wheat crops, corn so plentiful that farm
ers do not know what 10 do with ii, and
cotton promising large yield. Kansas
is complaining that her crop Of cereals
this year is too enormously heavy for
utilization; that millions Of bushels OF
wheat will he lost, because It ripens too
fast and can not be got to mar
ket; and MS to corn, the yield is so
great that.vast quantities will have 10, be
used as fuel during tie winter. The June
report Of the Georgia Commission Of Ag'
riculture represents corn to DO 8 per cent
above an average; cotton an average; rice
3per cent above; peach crop almost a to-
tai failure; apples tAree-quarters OF a
crop; wheat q per cent below the average
in quantity and IS per cent in quality
In Northwestern Illinois, the wheat and
barley crops are reported almost totally
destroyed by chinch bugs. Corn is look
ing we'll, and an immense yield Of oats is
expected. In Iowa, wheat is poor, corn
gives an average promise, and oats prom
ise extraordinarily well.
