The Herald relates the following in
cident Of indianapolis life: A few days
ago a thin, wcary, ragged, and forlorn
looking woman who carried a child
even thinner, dirtier, and more miser-
able looking than herself. stopped at
the garbage barrels near grocery
store on Market street, and, placing
the child on covered one, began to
hunt among the garbage in an open
barrel for something to eat. She
scratched among the refuse, which
was one mass of decaying vegetables
and un.ightly debris. with wolhsh
ferocity. the child looking on with
expectation pictured in its face. Her
search was rewarded with a few shriv-
eled Lima beans. One by one she
exhumed them from the garbage,
wiped them on her untidy rags, and
passed them TO the small starvelIng,
who devoured them with a gusto that
was positively frightful. ...

a Moaera Miracle.


some time ago q letter was received
by family on Thirteen-Mile Creek
giving the following remarkable story:
A man by the name Of Glenn, living
in Missouri, who, having his crops de-
stroyed by the wet weather, became
very much incensed thereat, cursing
his Maker and expressing the wish
that the Almighty would have to
stand in the mud till the day Of iudg-
ment. 1t appears that his desires
were not granted, but he was compel.
ed to stand still, and has not moved
since, with the exception Of eyes,
which are constaDeDy In motion. No
person can approach any nearer him
than ten feet, some invisible power
pressing them back, and there he is
doomed to stand until the day ofjudg-
ment. We understand This informa-
ton came from the wife Of Mr.. Glenn.
We do not voucli for the truthfulness
Of this report, but give it to our read
ers as il was given to US. Mr.. Glenn
formerly lived in this county, and was

The reports from the Agricultural
bureau bring comfort and cheer at a
time when the country would seem to
require all the encouragement it can
receive. This year we shall be able to
export not less than 100, 900, 900 bush
els Of wheat, Or 10000, ,000O bushels
more than ever were exported in any
previous year. Already the winter
wheat is safely harvested, aud the
spring wheat is in most promising
condition. For this immense reason
ably anticipated surplus of wheat We
shall mall probability havean excellent
commercial demand. Our chief COM
petitor in the British market has been
Russia. Last year the United States
forced Russia 10 take the second place
in the marts Of the world. even when
Russia had all Of her ports open, and
was interested in obtaining all the
money she could for the approaching
war. This year the crop of Russia is
less than last year, and even suppos-
ing the Baltic ports to remain open,
she will be at a great disadvantage in
competing with the United States.
The yield of cotton is also estimated
to be about 100000 bales. All this
implies an impetus 10 industry gener-
ally, unless there is some more Of the
recklessness and madness practiced
which has SO often perverted the good
results which should legitimately flow
