Our farmers have been told, time
and again, by the grain buyers, that
wheat raising would be soon played
out in Minnesota, because the great
wheat fields Of Texas were about tc
overstock the market. And now q
correspondent of the st. Cloud Jour.
NAL Press shows how shallow this
pretence is by writing as follows from
McKenny, Texas:
Although cotton is cash crop and will
always sell, there is not the money in it that
many imagine; it requires great attention,
and it is the common saying that it takes
thirteen months to the year to raise and save
cotton. For all that, it is Enthusiastically the
crop for Texas The wheat delusion is rap
idly fading, at least from the minds of those
who pay more attention to plain facts than to
the figures of immigration pamphlets and
railroad advertisements; but there are thou

The treatment accorded by the

this inhumanity in the ease of Nez

Mr.. Editor Harvest being over and there
being breathing spell from the labor OF our
rural pursuits, and as many of our city guests
are with US being domiciled here and there at
our beautiful homes, with pure air from our
mountains, and the splendid view Of tbesBlue
Ridge, across the river in the Old Dominion,
causes our visitors to show joyous expressions
at the change from the monotnous life Of the
pent-up cities and the relief from that monster
fashion and all its drawbacks from natures
laws. 1t gives little insight into what life
would be ii people would pay. more attention
to health than the fashions of the day. All
of our schools being closed the youth Of the
land are as birds out of their pent-up cages.
There is one little intellectual pleasantly an
account of which have not seen in your gen.
orally wide-awake paper. 1t was the COM
mencement at that sterling female school in
our vicinity, known as as Briary Hall, kept
by Mrs Porter and her accomplished daughter.
1t was joyous affair TO all those that were
present who take an interest in the culture OF
Maryland, my Maryland's fair daughters
The young ladies of that famous institution
showed such great Improvement that it is the
talk of the neighborhood, SO much so, that
think any one having young ladies under
their charge, either parents or guardians, could
not do better than to put them under the care
of the proficient matrons of the above named
school, as they seem by nature, 10 have a tact
in training young minds. Their watchword
is kindness and il acts like a charm. They
have the wel-earned credit of greatly adj
vancing all the young ladies that have been
Entrusted to .heir care. | would say to any
one who is at sea where to send their daugh-
tiers, that this is the school to patronze, as the
senior teacher thereof acts 10 the double
capacity of matron and mother. | speak
what know, being patron thereof.
Mr.. Editor, would not say any thing about
politics AS see that wiser heads than mine are
at sea with regard to an available candidate
for Congress. The gentleman spoken of from
the ranks will get three-fonrths of the votes
Of this district, but when the representative
men from the county meet in convention they
will try to fix up things to suit everybody
There is one thing would advise them not to
do, that is not to attempt to take the nomina-
tion away from the people, if they do they
may find themselves minus the votes of the
people when they will need them the most,
that is, at the polls in November next.
