A Magnificent wheat Harvest.

The winter wheat crop Of the north
west-harvested and saved several weeks
ago--is the largest produced in this
country for many years. The spring
wheat crop is also fine, and an unPrece-
dented yield is counted on. The total
wheat crop of last year was 2SO,OOO,OOO
bushels. This year it is estimated at
325. .OO0. 600 bushels. The average export
for five years has been 81 100000 bushels
per annum. The largest amount ever
exported was 9O,O00,0O0 bushels. 1t is
expected that 100, 100000 of this years
crop will be sent abroad. An increased
foreign demand is anticipated, owing to
the disturbed condition Of affairs along
the Danube and adjacent countries, from
whence heavy shipments have been made
in former years. Previous to 1872, Rus
sia shipped almost as much wheat as the
United States, but last year the supply
was only one-third as great as that of this
country, and her proportion this year is
likely to be much less. The northwest
ern wheat crop has been unusually boun-
tiful this year. The estimated yield,
carefully compiled from trustworthy
statistics, made up at Chicago, will sum
up as follows for four states:

months of this lamp trimming and dirty

before his badness. The consul tried
the remedy on two Spaniards who had
become suddenly bald, and met with the
same wonderful success. He then sug-

which rendered the church OF the Latter
Day saints unique and formidable. No
other man now, like Brigham Young at
the death of Joseph Smith, is capable of
selling and exercising the original pro-
phet's powers no member Of the priest
hood has such distinction, or enjoys such
confidence as would enable him TO-
assume supreme control over the desti-
nies of the Mormon people, even if the
conditions were half as favorable to his
ascendancy as they were when in the
time of what the Latter Day Saints
describe as their persecution Brigham
grasped the scsptre.
BRIGHAM YOUNG's Sons.
The two sons OF Brigham-Brgham
jr, and John W.-would undoubtedly
have the best chance, either Of them, to
step in the dead prophets shoes if either
had the requisite ability. In his recent
reorganization of the priesthood Brigham
Young put in presideHcies and bishoprics
all over Utah, men upon whose fealty to
himself and his kindred he could depend.
Still there is an impression among the
fullest Mormons that Brigham Young,
IT,, commonly called the " fat boy" is a
iolt, and that John ". his younger
Jrother, is an apo=tate and a scapegrace.

but is devoid of qualities essential

likely to succeed in an undertaking
which Brigham Young formerly in his
place accomplished by imprudence and
caiolerv. 1t will be hard to convince
the Mormon people, who for months past
have been hearing and reading the
exposures and fraud practiced upon
them bv Brigham and his unscrupulous
eabal, that any member of that cabal has
suddenly become what Brigham himself
pretendeC to be--the special and only
earthly deputy and revelator Of the
Most High The poor dupes believed
that, perhaps, of the chieftain who now
lies dead in the Lion House. They can
hardly transfer the belief at this time to
another human creature. The absurd
doctrine of revelation, the wicked and
senseless rites of the Endowment House,
the sanctity Of polygamy, fraud of celes-
