The Prospect for Cheap Food.

Constantly as We have been dwelling on
the great crops for the last two months, few
Of US fairly realize how large they are, and
how greatly they are to affect the pressing
questions of our individual and national dis
tresses. 1t is not simply that this has been
good year for wheat, or for cotton, or for
potatoes, but that it has been great year
for everything in the way of food for man
and beast. Not simply or chiefly year Of
increased acreage, but year Of remarkably
increased production per acre. Never so
many bushels of wheat, or rye, or corn, or
potatoes to the acre, as well as never so
manv acres cultivated. The year is also eI-
ceptional in this, that, while most seasons
are favorable to certain crops, and apparent
ly by the same circumstances uniavorable to
others, this season seems ID have been equal
ly favorable to everything. Some crops
want a dry season, others wet, some
warm, others a cool, and we had come to
regard these laws as fixed, and to accept the
compensations of success here for failure
there as a part of the necessary laws of pro-
duction. But the year of 1877 has prac-
tically distinguished itself throughout the
whole country as hot enough tor corn and
dry enough for potatoes,-as equally good
for everything, and, like the shOemaker's
boot, "large enough for man and small
enough for a boy" And the results are
already certain to be such a wealth of food
as the nation never realized before in any
year, an abundance tor ourselves at cheap
prices, and as much for all the rest of the
world as it can possibly take and pay for

Louis Napoleon Escaped Thrashing.

In the year 1884 the fall election in New
York had been preceded by a campaign of
unusual excitement. Tho great democratic
leader, VIM. l.. Marcy, was the candidate OF
his party for governor. 1t was expected that
there would be lively times on the day of
election in the city of New York, and sever
al Hartford merchants arranged to 20 down
together to see the fun, and at the same
time take advantage of the trip to purchase
goods They arrived in the city by boat on
the morning Of election, and took rooms at
the New York Hotel, which stood on the
present site of A. I. Stewart Co. 5 down.
town store on Chambers street. Among the
number were David Clark and A. 5. Porter.
The whole party visited some of the voting
precincts and saw the "fun, which includ-
ed many street fights and minor rows.
During the afternoon, Mr.. Clark and Mr.
Porter were looking over newspapers in the
reading-room of the hotel and were seated
apart At one end of the room was the bar.
While Mr.. Clark was busily engaged read
ing, his attention was attracted by loud
voices, among which he recognized Mr.. Por-
ter's, and looking up saw three young fel-
lows somewhat excitedly engaged in conver-
sation with Mr.. Porter. lie went at once
to learn the cause of the debate, and found
that the strangers were demanding that Mr.,
Porter should pay bottle of wine which
they alleged he had lost on a bet. Ofcourse
he had made no bet, and the fellows were
attempting to impose upon him. Mr.. Clark
was then spare man-Dot as portly as he
is now-but was muscular and strong and
was dangerous subject in a rough and tum-
bic. When he heard the spokesman OF the
party of three declare that unless Porter
paid the wine every bone in his body should
be broken, he stepped up to the fellow and
said, "You try that once, and I'll take ev-
cry one of you singly and throw you out of
that window w'-pointing to window not far
up from the floor. The clustering young
man looked at the tall form befor. him, and
seeing two sledge-hammer fists and long arms
ready for business, took the hint to depart,
and his companions went with him.
Mr. Clark was considerably interested in
the episode, and before he left New York
learned that the fellow he had talked with
was Louis Napoleon, who was then leading
a fast and reckless life in the metropolis.
When he saw the man again it was in 1857,
but under different circumstances, 1t was
in Paris, and the youth had become emperor
of the French, aud Mr.. Clark did not think
it advisable to introduce himself as the per-
son who. twenty odd years before showed
fight in New York .-Ha1t0rd COurdRt.

The following story Is from the Sacrahien-
to (Cal.) inion of the 10th inst. "A
party of Sacramentans returned home last
evening from trip to the mountains, bring
ing with them two dear skins, one wildcat
skin, and few other trophies, including two
tarantulas-dead ones. They had little
incident attending the transportation of these
specimens which occasioned considerable
alarm. 1t occurred in Cache creek canon on
Wednesday, as they were returning home.
The tarantulas. for lack of better recepta-
Gle were inclOsed in cigar box when caught,
about 10 days ago, and this box, carefully
tied up, was deposited beneath the seat of
the veicle. While they were jOlting through
the canon the seat slipped, and the two men
occupying it found themselves dropped sud
denly to the bottom of the wagon. One of
them struck the cigar box, crushed it, and
Immediately felt that something had hurt
him. A glance showed him that he was
resting on the tarantulas, and, with yell of
I'm stung I'm stung :" he jumped from
the wagon, and dashing his hands behind
him, as though desirous of lifting himself
out of his boots, he bounced wildly along the
road, then turned and made for the wagon,

there were four in the party-reached stimuli

cork in their haste to pull it ont, and in an
effort to knock off the neck of the demiohn,
to save time, broke the entire concern, and
nearly all the contents were lost. About
pint of the liquid was saved, however, and
without saying as much as Here's luck
the party that was bitten swallowed it.
Soon he began to feel better, and eventually
felt so remarkably well that it was evident
the poison had been forced to succumb.
Then the work of Strengthening the contents
of the wagon was commenced, and the tar
antula box was carefully lifted out and ex-
amined, when behold the bugs were found
liieless, and so dry and stiff that it was evil

hours, while couple of tacks in the broken

as to the nature OF the injury which the bold
hunter had suffered"

From two of the trustees addressed (onc
of whom We learn has been absent from
home for two or three weeks, and the other
is also probably ahscnt), no replies have
been received Another, Mr.. Henry Clark,
Of Rutland, stated to us, in person, that the
paragraph was correct, and that he would
forward statement in writing to that effect
But the testimony of the gentlemen who
thus certify to the absolute truthfulness Of
the editorial which Prof Collier has
called wilful and conscious lie-and the
truthfulness of the letter" coupled with the
editorial in this stigma could be as easily and
eonelusively established, if We cared to
occupy the attention OF our readers with
matter so purely personal-needs no further
corroboration. The people of Vermont know
them, and know that ten men could not be
picked out who would be less likely to unite
in lie, or in any distortion of the truth.
Prof Collier AYERS that his charges against
President Buckham are as susceptible OF
proof as is the falsity of ''Benedict's edi-
torial" They are so, and no more. Our
readers see that ''Benediet'S editorial was
accurate and truthful, and will draw their

French Novel In One Chapter.

Here's the story of an unfortunate young
lawyer. This unlucky wight was head over
heels in love with IL Leuutiful young girl, and
was about to be married TO her. On the eve
of the wedding day he was called out to de
fend an awful miscreant-a man OF thirty,
who had poisoned his mother and father.
The case seemed lost one, and when the
prosecution had closed, the young lawyer
was Just about giving up the struggle with
out an effort. Suddenly he perceived IN the
far extremity of the court room his beloved
and her parents, who had come to see what
kind of stuff he was made Of The presence
of the one he worships changes his train of
thoughts. He feels that he must make a show
of talent and commencing his argument, he
rises to the highest flights of eloquence. In
word, he succeeded in showing that the
criminal is an upright, virtuous, and much
abused man, and obtains his acquttal. In
! the evening. the lawyer, with triumphant air,
calls at the house OF his fuiuIc iather-in-law,
expecting that his success will insure him n
warm reception. To his surprise, lie finds
the youngest girl cold and her parents much
embarrassed. He asks what this sort of re-
ception means. My friend, says he whom
the young man had already begun to call
father-in-law. Il must tell you-my daughter
loves another" "Another Who is the
man ~ .'The good and virtuous man whom
you to-day, by your eloquence, restored to
society" replies the fatler-I Paris Ydlef.
