NORTHERN PACIFIC CROP
ITEMS. -

Some Verified Facts fer the Co1sid-
GRAFTON Of the Ma1ianers Of the
Great Wheat Bolt Of the Contins1t.
st. Paul Pioneer-Pren.
Many inaccurate statements have
been published from time to time touch
ing the product Of some of the large
farms beyond Fargo, on the line Of the
Northern Pacific railroad. We are
now enabled to give the exact result of
the threshings on several of these
farms. On the Cass & Cheney farm, .
held of 2,315 acres produced 57,2S9
bushels of wheat, being trifle under
2S bushels per acre. Another field on
the same farm, containing 1,l0e acres,
produced %, l2e bushels, being a frac-
tion over 20 bushels per acre. A field
of oats containing 270 acres yielded
53a bushels per acre of grain weighing
3sf pounds per bushel. -
On the Grandin farm, 1000 acres Of
wheat produced 62,66o bushels, or a
little over an average Of q bushels; .
field of 40 acres of oats yielded IN av>
srage of 8o.6 bushels per acre, weigh-
ing 38 pounds to the bushel.
On the farm of Hon. James B. Power,
land commissioner Of the company, .
field of 40 acres threshed out 1890
bushels of wheat, being an average Of
ss} bushels per acre. On ten acres Of
this field the grain was very Superior,
and being separately handled exhibited
a yield of 424 bushels, showing the
splendid average Of 42.4 bushels per
acre.
There are many other Individual
samples Of products ranging frsm ~
to 35 bushels Of wheat and 90 to 80 Of
oats.
These are specimens Of tho capacity
Of the se-called arid and alkali lands
which it YES seriously proposed few
years age to abandon to the 1ndisns.

Quick Time TO the Hills.

St. Paul Dispatch.
By the Brainerd route, the distance
from St. Paul to Bismarck is 46S miles,
and is made, safely and comfortably, IN
twenty-four hours. The distance from
Bismarck to Deadwood, in the Black
Hills, is e16 miles, and is made in three
days by stage, resting at night. The time
from Chicago to Deadwood is thus made
the same by this route as via the Union
Pacific, with the advantages of night
rests on the stage route, and freedom
from dangers of robbery. Next spring
the stages from Bismarck to Deadwood
will run day and night, reducing the
tune to 36 hours, and saving an equal
amount of time over the U. P. route.
This will give secure advantages to the
line via St. Paul and Bismarck, which
must vastly increase the volume Of travel
and traffic. OF this, St, Paul merchants,
if they are enterprising, will reap the
golden benefits.

General Sherman Tells Why he
thinks it Both Foolish and Wicked
to Reduce it-WhatC Congress Ought
to Bottle Over-worked So1aiers-
Some Interesting Facts.
Washington telegram to n. Y. Tribune.
Secretary McCrary and Gen. Sherman
are both very earnest in their secemmen-
dations to the house committee on ap-
preparations to relieve the army as soon
as possible.
tFew people in private station, and
few members OF Congress-" said Gen.
Sherman to-day, understand the actual
condition ef the army, and what is ex-
pected Of it. In the first place." he con-
tinued, ''the army is limited by law to
twenty-five thousand enlisted men, Let
us see how many of that number we
have in the field. You must first
understand that no recruiting has been
carried on since last June. Of course we
could net recruit men unless we had the
money to pay them, and so enlistments
have ceased, and the recruiting parties
withdrawn. My last report shows that
the whole American army, being enlisted

service, numbered 22,331. They are, by
law, ten regiments Of cavalry, Or 12o
companies; and twenty-five regiments of
infantry, or $50 companies. The aver
age cavalry regiment has 500 men, artil-
lery $50. and infantry $50. If all the
regiments were full there would be about
~ 900 men. Now, what is the effective
force in the f1elo? You must remember
that all the enlisted men are not in

"1'hen, why are they enlisted if they
do not carry muskets:'
"They are enlisted to save money.
You see them all around you here at
headquarters. They are performing the
duties of clerks who, in the civil depart-
ment receive for the sane class of wors
from $1eo to S175 per month. At Gen.
Sheridan's headquarters, and at all the
headquarters in the army soldiers are
detailed for clerks. They are better dis
ciplined, and they save great deal Of
money to the government. The work has
to be dsne, and the army is not allowed
to employ any clerks, but the practice,
nevertheless, takes nany men from the
field. "Here," continued Gen. Sherman,
unrolling 4 report, ''is list Of enlisted

Business I'm the Year One.

One of the most interesting discover
les in recent years at Pompeii was made
in 1875, when a wooden chest was
brought to light containing the business
receipts of one L. C@cillus Jucundus.
The chest crumbled to dust on exposure
to the air, but the tablets on which the
receipts were written have at length
proved to be lcgib!e in many instances
and the result of a careful study Of these
tablets by Mommsen and others has been
to clear up several points in what was
among the Romans matter OF great
consequence. viz: The position of the
middieman in affairs of business. There
was not among the Romans the same ex-
tensive system Of shops rs with US, sup
plying every possible article of necessi-
ty or luxury, and for this reason there
arose innumerable occasions of private
persons desiring to dispose of this or
that article, rs, for instance, q surplus OF
agricultural produce, old carts, plows,
or even old and invalid slaves, as Cato
recommends the landowners TO do. The
tablets in question arc dated, according
to custom, by giving the names of the
cOnsuls for the year. The greater part
of the dates fail between A. ID. 53-62.
A few are as early as ID and 81. Since
there is no more recent date than 81, il
becomes highly probable that the tablets
of Jucundus had been overwhelmed in
the earlier eruption of Vesuyius. The
majority of the tablets are tryptichs, and
are written partly with letters on wax,
spread on the tablets, and partly in ink
on the bare wood. Among them there
is only one which gives the amount Of
commission which he received, which is
known, from other sources, TO have been
the general rate. Usually, he merely
says "minus the commission" The per-
son on whom this expense fell was the
buyer.

A NEW GAG

A Joint resolution has been introduced
ia the S ate Scnte to amend tho constitu
ton so as to elect State officers IN 1878,
the opinion of the attorney General be-
ing that under the precedent estab
lishcd.. in 1861 the present officers
will hold over until 1880, since they are
elected when the members Of the Senate
are voted for, which under the biennial
arrangement is every four years. We
do not apprehend that there will be any
need OF constitutional amendment, il
the matter Is carefully looked irto and
discussed by our lawyers. 1t would be
funny thing, however, il the present
State officers and members Of The Legis-
laturc were TO remain in Office until 1880.
How the fellows who are ambitious TO
stop into A's OF BIS official shoes would
groan and complain.

SITTING BULLS TRADE.

A special correspondent of the Chica
go Tribune, writing from Standing
Rock, says that Sitting Bull coded the
Black Hills country to the British about
seven or eight weeks ago, while that
noble red man was on a visit to Santo
la. The letter suggests that if the re
port be true the war may be transferred
from the plains and mountains OF Mon
where the navIes Of the two worlds can
have finger in the pic; aud the CORES
pondcnt asks: "lf the United States
treat with Indians as an independent
nation, why should not tho British do
il ?"

that he is satisfied that there must be a
new party in the South-or two new
parties-sepavated. not by the color
line, but by political line. His policy
will be TO try aud separate the native
white vote-divide it-throwing the old
hardshell rebel vote with the ignorant
negroes into q Democratic party and
the old Union Wings and inteiligen,
negroes INTO a new Union or Repubil'

PROF. TYSDlbL'S WAKyING,

In concluding an address 10 the stu
dents of University College Nondon)
Prof. Tyndall, who is unques-
tionahly one of the most indie
fatigablo brain workers Of our
century, said, stake care of your health.
Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a rotten
b Dat; what can be do there but by the
very force of his stroke expedite the
rum of bis craft. Take care of the tim
bcrs of your boat" The distinguished
scientists advice is equally valuable TO
all ,c0rkers. We are apt to devote all
our energies to welding the oars, our
strokes fall firm and fast, but few OF Us
examine or even think OF the condition
of our boats until the broken or rotten
tim bers suddenly give way and we find
ourselves the victims of calamity which
could have been easily avoided by ut
Ito forethought. What began with a
slight fracture, or perhaps even o care
less exposure TO disorgapizing infu-
ences, ends in the complete
wreck of the life.boat. The
disease which began with slight head
ache or an undue exposure to cold ter
inmates in death, unless its progress be
checked, and the disease remedied. The
first SYMPTOMS, the heralds of disease,
give no indication of the strength of the
on-coming foe, and tho victim trusts
that his old ally, Nature, will cxtermi-
nate the invader. But Disease is an old
general and accomplishes his most i'm
portant movements in The nighttime,
nd h,t.,ht finds him, in
possession of one of the strongest :orti-
tications and when he has once gained
a stronghold in the system Nature Ig-
ANONYMOUSLY turns traitor and secretly
delivers up the whole physical armory
to the invader. Like the willy politician,
Nature is always on the strongest side,
and the only way to insure her support
is TO keep your vital powers in tho as
cendaDt. Keep your strongest forts-the
stomach and liver-well guarded. Do
not let the foe enter the arteral high
ways, for he will steal or destroy your
richest merchandise and impoverish
your kingdom. To repulse the attacks
of the toe you can find no better ammu-
milton than DR.. Plerce's Family Medi-
cines. Full directions accompany each

let's are especially effective in defending
the stomach and liver. His Golden
Medical Discovery for purifying tie

If you wish to become familiar with the
most approved system of defense in this
warfare, and the history Of the foes
method OF invasion, together with COM
plete instructions for keeping your

THE CONT.

Last week Wednesday the two Houses
decided TO count the contested vote in
Nevada for Hayes and Wheeler. The
count then proceeded through New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina and Ohio, without in.
corruption. When Oregon was reached
objections were made on both sides and
the whole matter was referred to the
Commission. After q lumber of votes
the commission decided, on Friday, that
tho three votes must be counted for
Hayes and Wheeler. Furthermore, by
unanimous vote, the Commission Sc
verely CONDEMNED tho attempted Cronin
fraud. The Democrats, after the receipt
OF the news of the action Of the Commits
mission, attempted to effect an adjourn:
mcnt until Monday. Having failed in
this, tho case Of Oregon was considered
and the vote counted for Hayes and
Wheeler. Pennsylvania being reached,
objections were again made, and recess
was taken until Monday. On that day
the count proceeded with Pennsylvania
and Rhode Island, when South Carolina
was reached and sent to the commits
sion. On Tuesday the commission de-
cided by vote Of s to that the vote
of South Carolina should be counted for
Hayes and Wheeler. To this time we
have heard nothing concerning the ac-
ton of the two Houses on this State.
Adviccs from Washington, indicate that
although.the "obstructionists in the
Hause are numerous, and that democrats
are daily In receipt of kilograms and let
ters from political friends to stand firm
ana delay the further count of the eloc-
toral vote, yet those of the Same party
who arc opposed to delays and are act
ing in conjunction with tho Republicans,
constitute sufficient force TO prevent
the defeat Of the final count.
