THE CROP PROSPECT.

A week or two ago the respects for
harvest this year were very poor in
deed. The weather bad been cold and
damp much wind prevailing and rain

A gcol deal of grass had been cut. and
III; grain was high and heavy as it had
never beftr. been seen in this Terri
tory. 1t was all but certain that .
failure. the first in our agricultural bis
tory, would be registered against our
farmers for 1879. In con sequence feel
ings Of dependency and gloom began
to overcast the community. A glad
some change. however, has come. The
clouds have disappeared. the rain has
ceased falling. and the warm and beau
tiful sun shines again from morning to
night. The damage done beyond re-
pair has been small, AMI. in view Of
the magnificent crops promised, will
not be long regretted. With week or
two more such weather as this the hay
crop will he cured and under shelter.
From all sides east Of the mountains
and in Willamette Valley as we'll as at
home-we have but one report o. the
grain fields. Such yield as is prom
Used this year was never before seen.
The oats. barley and wheat stand high,
ore rank and rich, and will produce
enormously. The surplus grain will

Life among the Fall River mill oper
a;ives is pictured by the Bosten Herald
a. . round Of drudgery They live in
crowded and often cherries tenements.
although the common laws Of health
are not generally disregarded. and some
of the homes are beautifed with pic
lures, carpets and flowers. Men, women
and children work together in the mills.
and the home is little more than a lodg
ing in most cases. The wive. and mo-
theirs are bound TO perpetual slavery.
They work as bard as anybody IL the
mill, and, when the mill day 10 over.
their duties become terribly ouerous.
On reaching home supper is to be swsl-
lowed, and then, while the rest Of the
family find rest or recreation, all there
is of housekeeping is performed by the
wife, occasionally assisted by her chill
dren. il they are old enough. There
will be no time the next morning for
cooking breakfast, and i, must be looked
out for over night. Dinner is to be
taken to the mill, and its substantial
materials must be cooked during the
evening. While the kettle is bubbling
or the fryingpan sizzling, or the oven
baking or all together are sending out
their heats. the washing of the bed and
personal clothing for the household may
be performed. the old mans trousers
mended. or the children's clothes made
or repaired. If one of the brood is
sick, it may also receive attention at the
same time. The wife and mother tolls
thus for her family, living . lif. the like
of wbich no Southern slave ever DE AIMED
about. Intemperance too comu only
adds its sorrows to the rest.

was hundred dollars, the largest five
hundred. and the aggregate about three
thousand. In addition to these sub.
scriptions about as much more is prom.
ised in the way of smaller amounts.
The two lists amount to close upon six
thousand dollars. or quite enough TO

good news for our people, and We are
rejoiced that the ISTELLIGENCER should

proposed is an assured thing. and no
project requiring so little capital has
been put on foot for years that gives Us
so much pleasure as this does. We feel
that it will BIO benefit to the whole
county to White River and Snoqusl-

1t is one Of the things calling for but
little money that the whole people re-

Attention hiss been drawn to the small
number of Roman Catholics holding
large estates in Ireland; but. having
regard to the past. this could hardly be
otherwise, inssmuch as under the E!iz
abethan and Cromwellian settlements
vast confiscsted estates were psrcelled
out among Protestants, and subsequent,
ly every possible inducement and device
was resorted to by the Government to
convert the gentry to the Protestant
faith, Tie Fitzgerald family. so closely
identified with Ireland. was one Of the
few great houses which continued. up
to comparatively recent period, in the
ancient faith but the peerage being
devolved upon q minor. his guardian
brought him up as Protestant. One
large estate, that of the Earl of Derby.
passed. by purchase not long ago to Q
Roman Catholic. the late Mr.. Valentine
OConnor. wealthy merchant of Dub
lin. Lord Derby's father left bis second
sou. the present Secretary of State for
War. the option of taking 100000 or
his Irish estates. Col. Stanley having
chosen the former, the latter passed to
the present Earl. Lord Derby then
announced his intention of selling the
property. when q deputation of the
tersntry waited on him and begged
him not to do 90; but he courteously
told them that he could not, consistently
with his duties in England. reside in
Ireland, and that he did not deem it
right for man to hold property on
which he did not reside. The Derby
estates in Tipperary fetched $500. 900.

that most of the cities and towns in

such heights above the surrounding
country that the eye can sweep at a

horizons over 60 miles away" Writing
Of the official survey in which he has
been for years employed. he says:
