Views of the Great Grain Grower of the
Northwest.

Views of the Great Grain Grower of the
Northwest.
From the st. Paul Press and Tribune.l
There is perhaps no better authority
on crop reports than Mr.. Oliver DIAL
rymple, of st. Paul, who is not only a
wheat producer himself, but q careful
and intelligent observer of the grain
trade of the world. Holding close re-
lations with those most heavily inter
ested in the movement of the crops, and
being in possession of the most reliable
data from all thu leading grain centres of
the world, Mr.. Dalrymple is able to
form q very clear opinion upon the re-
suits of the wheat harvests of this year.
In order, therefore, to answer the ques-
tons of numerous readers, and to place
facts on I'M extremely interesting topic
before the public, Mr.. Dalrymple was
interviewed by Pioneer Press reporter
yesterday, and he kindly furnishes re.
plies to few interrogatories as follows:
Reporter-Mr. Dalrymple, what do
you think of the wheat crop and the
yield in this country and Europe as
compared with the average of other
years2
Mr.. Dalrymple-I think the spring
wheat country, embracing Minnesota,
Iowa, Wisconsin and northern Illinois,
and portion of the Canadas, is 40 per
cent. below an averaging crop; that the
winter wheat producing portion of
America, embracing Michigan, Kansas
and the Pacific slope has produced an
average crop. Ohio and Indiana are 25
per cent. short of average. In relation
to Europe, the most reliable information
that can obtain shows that England,
France and Germany are 20 per cent.
below an average. The Danube country,
Italy and the Netherlandd, 25 per cent.
below. Austria, Belgium and Russia
per cent. below. Scandinavia, 10 per
cent. below. tJN tttff ttts SD
R.-Can our farmers then, in your
opinion, Mr.. Dalrymple, look for better
prices than have been ruling for the last
two years2
Mr.. D.-The average price for No. 2
wheat at Milwaukee for the last seven
years has been Sill, dropping eight
cents below in the three last months in
the year, and going about eight cents
above its average during the summer
months of the year. There is every
reason to expect that the prices of the
crop. of 1876 will rule above an av-
erage.
r. What can you say especially of
the present crop of Minnesota
Mr.. d. have been wheat grower
for twelve years, and this is the highest
Gre have seen harvested. L think it
it is threshing out between eight and
nine bushels to the acre, most of which
will be used by the Minnesota mills and
for seed. The crop is generally being
saved in good condition. Most OF the
wheat is in stack and out of danger.

Cricketing Extraordinary.

In Bull Run Valley, Nevada, the
crickets have played sad havoc with the
growing crops. The ugly pests attacked
one wheat field of thirty acres, and in
an hour destroyed the whole crop, eat.
ing the stalks off close to the ground,
and then marched ON to other conquests.
Millions of crickets have been killed,
and strew the ground for miles around,
while the vast number which have been
driven or found their way into the
streams have impaired most disagree
able flavor to the water, rendering il
unfit for drinking, so that the people
have found it necessary to dig shallow
wells near the streams and securely
cover them over. The first band that
made an incursion into the valley this
year completely destroyed every grow
ing thing upon Borette's Silver Greek
ranch, and his experience was that of
many other ranchers in the valley. A
novel method of cleaning out crickets
is bysewing together three gunny sacks,
leaving small holes in the bottom one
for the egress of water The large sack
is attached to the end of sluice box,
placed so that the water will run into it.
The people then assemble, armed with
bells and boughs, and with great noise
drive the crickets into the stream, which
swiftly carries them down through the
sluice box into the bag, where they are
speedily drowned. At Painters ranch
a few days ago, there was grand
"drive," the result being seventy-fve
sacks full, or about 225 bushels of
crickets, which is considered pretty
good days work. -Sacranaerlto (Cdl.)

The Mountain Meadow Butchery.

Some points involved in the pending
trial of Lee, Mormon chief, ut Beaver,
Utah, are of peculiar interest. Per-
ceiving that the Government had re-
solved upon bringing the perpetrators
of the Mountain Meadow massacre to
justice, and had accumulated strong
proof against Lee, who was an agent of
the Mormons in that atrocious crime,
and who had exhibited strong inclina-
ton to "squeal upon his employers,
the dignitaries of the church shrewdly
concluded to sacrifice Lee as a means of
salvation for themselves. At the first
trial of the butcher there was O disagree
ment of the jury, although the proof was
very strong against him. At the second
trial, whole battalion of the Mormons
who were eye-witnesses of the massacre
have come forward and testifedto Lees
murderous acts in the minutest particu-
lars, while protesting the most invinci-
BILE ignorance of any other incidents of
the tragedy. There is not doubt that
these wretches have deliberately per-
jured themselves in this regard, and,
were there not most conclusive proof
against Lee, apart from this testimony,
candid jury would be justified in con-
sidering him the elected victim of most
abominable church conspiracy. All the
circumstances of the massacre indicate
that it was deliberately planned in the
councils of the church and executed by
its ministers. Evidence was obtained at
the former trial of such dispositions of
the effects of the butchered emigrants as
could not have been made without the
consent of the church authorities. =

To be properly enjoyed, walking

the nature of picnic. 1t should be gone
upon alone, because freedom is of the
essence; because you should be able to
stop and go on, and follow this way or

you must have your own pace, and nell

them. Like enough they are in the house
somewhere"
Harry sat up to listen.
But Lizzie had made mistake, for
the children hunted the house over, up
stairs and downstairs, under all the
beds, and even peeped into baby boys
basket, but no signs of kittens any
where. s<Nr 2
Almost week went by, when one
day Mrs. Hendric came to call on the
children's mamma. She lived just OPP
posite, but there were two broad lawns,
| a road and two sidewalks between the
two houses, so it seemed a great way
of to the children. Harry and Amy
were in the parlor, and presently they
heard Mrs. Hendric say, I" What do
you suppose your cat has done2 Why,
she has carried her kittens one by one
to an old basket in our cellar, and taken
up her residence there"
Wasn't tibet funnyl lE
The children's mamma sent Robert
over that night to bring them all home,
because pussy had taken great liberties
in going to another persons house I'M
invited. But in the morning, when the
boys hurried through their dressing
again, and went down to see them, the
box was empty second time. Pussy
was wiser, too, in choosing her hiding
place, for though she came every morn
ing for her breakfast, and at night for
her milk, she never told her secret. One
day, about five weeks afterward, the
children were playing out of doors,
when they saw quite a procession cross
ing Mrs. Hendricks lawn, and then
/" The four gray cats,
And the gray cats mother
And all coming over the road together"
Only you know two of the kittens were
black, but that wouldn't rhyme. They
all walked in through the gate, and the
cat looked on while the kittens bounced
away after the croquet balls. How glad
the children were to see them Harry
went over to pat the cat. She put up
her back and purred, and this is what
she must have said: "See what nice
playmates / have brought you, and what
a deal of trouble have had to keep
them safe till they were large enough to
taks care of themselves, to be sure"
So after that the children always had
the kittens for playmates, and the chill. |
dren frolicked so much, and the kittens
grew so large, it was hard to tell them
apart almost; and they play together
vet, for when looked out of the window
this morning saw the old cat sitting in
a sunny place on the steps, the children
and two kittens were swinging in the
while the other two kittens
| mean-were playing "hide and seek"
in the grass, and "tag" up and down
the steps, sometimes tumbling head over
heels from the top to the bottom.

MY Kittens.
Three little frolicsome kittens
White and yellow and gray,
That in and out go racing about
From morning till close of day.
Snowfall and Pet and Daisy,
Each knows its name right we'll
But which Of the three ia dearest 70 me,
never quite can tell.
Three little romping kittensl
Brimful of their kttenish play;
Looking for something OF mischief or pleasure
To busy them all the day.
Tangling grandmamma's knitting
That they've stolen of from her lap,
Making her furry and start and hurry,
AS she's suddenly reused from her nap.
Three little sleepy kittens
Tired as tired can be.
Each curled down TO sleep in the cunningest
heap
That ever a kitten could be.
They are dreaming now of the mouse thieves
That nibbled the cheese last night:
And of that future day when in battle array
They shall put them all to flight.
SNOWFALL, Pet, and Daisy,
love you dearly, each one, rr

For my day Will soon be done;
You soon viii tire OF my petting,
And care more for the mice and the rats
Alas that my three darling kittens
Must ever grow up to be cats!

The story goes that the son of q
wealthy Paris nobleman became enamor-
ed of his fathers concierge (door-porter),
and determined to marry. The aristo-
cratic papa opposed, but moved at last
by the despair of his son, gave his con-
sent with the proviso that the smitten
youth should go to sea for twelve months
before the marriage. Shortly after his
departure, the father, who had previous
ly observed an embonpoint in the young
intended, took her under his especial
charge, gave her the most nourishing
and succulent food and wines, forbade
her to take exercise as unbecoming in
his future daughter, and, in fact, stall
fed her to such an extent that when the
enamored swain returned from his year s
voyage, he was Mortified to find, instead
of the slender, elegant girl he left, an
immensely fat woman as big as two AL
bions rolled into one. OF course the
ruse was successful, and the unfortunate
victim of good cheer has been pensioned
off-doomed to life of spinsterdom.

Immigration-Marked Falling or This
Year.

There has been a marked falling off
this year in the immigration from Europe
as compared with previous years, es-
pecially prior to 1874, when the numbers
arriving became noticeably less week by
week. The following table shows that
so far this year the decrease continues
as compared with even the correspond
ing months of 1875, when the Numbers
were less than in any preceding year
since 1860:

THE board of finance of the centen.

The board of finance of the centen-
nial has found it necessary to cut down
expenses, and the work has been COM
menced in earnest. A number of at
taches of the various bureaus have
been discharged, insuring saving of
$500 per week, while the wages of the
keepers at the money gates have been
cut down from 81 to SO per day, and
those at the free gates from SO to SO so
per day in addition to which one hun
dred of the guard were discharged.
This retrenchment has been begun on
account of the decreasing attendance
at the exhibition and the consequent
eurtailment of receipts. The gate
keepers objected to the reduction of
their wages, but succumbed when in .
formed that there were twenty seven
hundred applicants for their places. 1t
is understood that the expenses of the
centennial have heretofore footed up
from $4,000 to $4,000 per day, or
about as mach as the expenses of
large city.
