THE political campaign on behalf
of the Democracy, has been opened
by JEFF Davis with q speech in which
be reiterstes al The old tire reasonable
stuff in behalf of secession, which
but q few years since fred the Demo-
cratic heart Says the Inter Ocean (:
The significance of the speech of
JEFF Davis is apparent when we see
how it was received in the South.
Commenting on the speech, and re-
ferring to Davis as the patriotic
statesman, the n lew Orleans Demo
eTat asks: "Bnt to whom viii an
impartial generation award the palm
of honor, patriotism, and statesman
ship? Will posterity confirm the
verdict of the triumphant North =?
Or will it declare that the head of
the Confederacy who led his country
men through one of the most heroic
struggles in the annals of mankind.
in defense of great principles which
be believed to be right, and which
the American people are now return
ing to, was the true patriot, and the
real traitors to the Constitution, and
the enemies Of the republic were
Grant and the demagogues and con-
spirators who swarmed in Congress
on the fall of the Confederey." This
is putting the issue %squaFely. Are
the people Of the Union ready for the
question /? Grant and his soldiers
are the traitors, and the statesmen
who served the Union cause were
co~nspirators. JEFF Davis is @ patri'
otto statesman, and Lincoln was a
traitor. This is Cancellation. These
are the utterances Of the men who.
through an alliance with the Demo
cratic party, hope soon to control The
country. They make the issue and
boast of the return of the country t.
the secession platform of 1861. Wher
the people are ready to admit tina
Grant was the traitor, and JEFF Davis
the patriot, the triumphs OF thes'
Southern leaders will come. These
! leaders no longer conceal their prin
ciples, but, feeling sure OF victory
/ boast of what they will do. ThI
Union people of the country, Demo

full warning Of the purpose Of thes'

PERMANENT SILVER MINES,

In treatise on silver mines Fuller
says: "Wherever in any part of the
world silver mines haye been worked,
they are worked now, unless from
war, inyasions of Indians, SC. We
know of no silver mining regions in
the world that have given out. Mexi.
can mines worked by the Aztecs be
fore the conquest by Cortez, are still
worked as profitably as ever; the old
Spanish mines, opened long before
Hannibal's time, are still worked With
enormous profits F.; the South American
mines have constantly yielded their
wealth far more than three hundred
years, and are as productive as ever
mines in Hungary that were worked
by the Romans before the Saviors time
still yield abundance of ore the silver
mines of Freiburg, opened in the
eleventh century and worked constant
ly ever since, yield steady increase.
So in Norway, Sweden and Russia,
and indeed everywhere silver mines
have been opened, we believe without
exception, they continue to be worked
at the present day, and are generally
more productive than at any time in
their past history"

BEAT HIS OWN TIME.

The last sensation occurred on last
Thursday, when about fifty men were
present by invitation to see Jim Law
ton beat his own time of two years
ago, when his wife had bread baked
in eight and quarter minutes after
the wheat was standing in the field.
AT 4 Is 10 O'Clock the Buckeye Reap
er, drawn by Cy Burnett's dun mules,
stood at the corner of the growing
wheat, machine in gear ready TO seize
an armlul as it fell from the reaper,
and rush with it 10 the thresher close
by which, under direction of veteran
DRYERS was getting under way for
business. At the mill, just sixteen
rods away, LawtOn stood al the WIN
dow watching the moment when Me-
Cav, on the swiftest horse in the
county, should start from the thresher
with the grain, while Mrs. Lawton
and her neicc, Miss Alice, had all the
preparations made to make griddle
cakes and biscuits in the shortest pos
sible time. AT the drop of the hat the
dun mules sprang to the work, and in
one minute fifteen seconds threshed
wheat, about a peck, was in the sack
and on the horse, and the race COM
menced for the mill. There were two
bridges to cross, and the excited spec
tators could see only a column of dust
hear couple of taps on the plank
bridges as the horses flew over them
at lightning speed, and the wheat was
delivered to Lawton in the mill. In
one minute seventeen seconds the
flour was delivered to Mrs. Lawton,
and in three minutes Sos. from the
starting of the reaper the first griddlc-
cake came from the hands Of Miss
Alice, was gobbled by q dozen eager
hands--and that was the last of it. In
I'm. BIS. from the starting of the reap
er, according to the best double timer
stop.wa!ch in the country, pan of
biscuits was delivered to the hungry
crowd by Mrs. Lawton, and that was
the last seen of them. Then other
pans of delicious biscuits were baked
at leisure, and boiled ham and "one-
minute biscuit" formed a sandwich it
was right hard to beat, and then, as it
would be impossible for Western
gathering of any kind to be worthy
the name without speech of some
kind, Mr.. Smiley proposed that Gen.
ersl Shields make speech, which he
did, in those incomparably graceful
words of his that fill even so prosaic a
proceeding as grinding wheat with the
poetry of eloquence. Then Lawton
in his modest way, had to say some
thing and he made a little speech,
which was heartily applauded as well
as that of General Shields, and the
party then separated. -[Carrollton,

dakota Cor. of the Chicago Inter- Ocean.
The eXcursiOnists lett Fargo this
morning in the best of spirits, and in
little more than half an hour had made
the run of Is miles to the great Cass
and Cheney wheat farms. Harvest is
almost entirely completed III this Vi.
cinity, and the hum of the thrcsher
will be Immediately heard on the
prairies. On arriving at the little viii
lage of Dalrymple, which is formed OF
the large number of buildings com
prising headquarters number l, Oliver
Dalrymple, Sheldon Dalrymple and
others of the managers of the farms
were found waiting with number of
comfortable open wagons ready 10
take the visitors about among the
wheat in fine style. The harvest Is
nearly completed here, but the party
was in time to see the grand process
of harvesting and binding by improv
ell machines. The first visit was
made TO section that was being at
tackled by twenty five machines, and
the operations were watched with the
keenest interest. The grain is as hand
some as ever was grown in the country
and will undoubtedly average twenty
five bushels to the acre. This wheat
was on the Cass farm. We are about
in the center of six miles Of planting,
all wheat except small patches of fine
looking oats. After driving to head
quarters No. 3, and inspecting the
moGcl barns, granaries and laborers'
quarters, the party drove across III i.
north side of the track and inspected
the Cheney farm, and here found fif-
teen harvesters cutting the last 200
acres of the crop. On Monday, July
10Th, wheat was standing on 2,3OC
acres of this farm, and to-day it will
all be in shocks, fifteen harvesters do
ing the work. Tomorrow the thresh.
ers will be at work, and soon 100000
bushels of number l wheat will be in
sacks, ready for the market. The Cass
farm has 1000 acres in wheat, the
Cheney farm 1900. and the Dalrymple
1,7OO more, making a total of 5000
acres, all handled by the prince o.

A GRASSHOPPER WEATHER.
VANE,

On the top of the Royal exchange, in
London, is curious weather-vane, not
like any other in England, or perhaps
in the world. It is huge grasshop-
per, and the following account shows
how it came to be put up there:
About $50 years ago, a woman, with
little baby in her arms, was trudging
along country lane. Presently, after
looking to see that no one was watch
ing her, she climbed over the gate into
a field, and wrapping the baby in it's
little shawl, she laid it down in the
grass, so gently as not to wake it, and
then, never even looking behind her.
she climbed over the gate again into
the lane, on her journey.
The baby soon woke, and began to
cry, and it cried for long, long time.
And at last, tired and hungry, and hot
with the sun, for it was fine summers
day, it was wearied out and dropped
off to sleep again. "But God had heard
the voice of the lad"
By-and-by down the lane came a
oSAOOAOOys AAC was AWAY ,
as happy as ever could be; he had come
out of school and was going home. He
lived at the farmhouse a little way
further up the lane. Now he gather
ed few primroses, now he had a shy
at a bird; but just as he came to the
gate over which the woman had climb
ed, he heard q grasshopper chirping
away so loudly that he sprang over the
gate to catch him-and there was the
baby, fast asleep! Far more pleased
than if he had caught a hundred grass
hoppers, the boy took up the little fel-
low and ran home with his prize. The
kind farmers wife, although she had
many children of her own, at once de-
termined to keep the little orphan who
had been saved from death by a grass
hopper.
Years passed away, and the baby be-
came a strong boy, the boy grew to be
q man he went to London and be-
came merchant. God blessed all he
man in the city. Queen Elizabeth was
then on the throne, and often did she
send for Sir Thomas Gresham-fOr the
little deserted boy had become a knight
to consult hlm on the great affairs of
state.
About three hundred years ago, Sir
Thomas Gresham founded the Ex-
change. The queen came to dine with
him and laid the first stone. And
there, upon the topmost pinnacle, Sir
Thomas placed grasshopper; and
there it is to-day, to tell the busy, toll
ing city that Almighty God can hear
the infants cry, and can save a valu-
able life by even such little thing as
a grasshOpper,-[N. Y. Observer.
