Wheat IN Eighty aaus-


From the San Francisco Bulletin, jan 81
The question has been raised whether
If we should have only late rains, there
would still be time for a wheat crop 60 ma
ture in this state The number of DAYS
required for the full maturity OF wheat de-
ponds somewhat on soil, and more on eli.
mate. Some large ranchers in the vicinity
OF Grayson, one OF the dryest parts 10 the
state, last year sowed field of wheat
IN March. The rain came Immediately
atterward. 1t so days from that time the
reapers was running in that field, cutting
down wheat which averaged about 20 bush
els to the acre. The soil was probably of
light, porous character and the heat was
great enough for the quickest growth. Now
1t in the last part of March there should be
an abundant rainfall, there would be tine
for wheat crop which would be pretty
certain to mature if there should be later
rains. 1t is true that we are in the last
half of January, with very little rain. A
great deal Of wheat that has been sown has
not sprouted, and will not until there is
more moisture. In some instances fields will
need resolving, the grain having started
and afterWard died out But, on the
whole, up to the middle of January. the
season has not been more unpromising
than for the corresponding week last year.

Beecher and Jen. Davis.

| Especial 10 the Baltimore American.l
New YORK, May 20.-The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher expressed himself to-day rs
having been so pleased by his reception IN
the southern cities which he has recently
visited that he has arranged with the lee
ture bureau under whose auspices he makes
his tours to plan series of lectures in the
South the next season, which he will de-
liver with the design Of deyoting all OF Tue
protits of the same to the various southern
charities. He had expected respectfut
treatment in the South, because he knew
that the southern men were instlnctVely
gentlemen, but he had not counted upon
the cordiality that had been exhibited.
Mr. Pond, Mr.. Beecher's lecture agent,
has written to Jefferson Davis, making MN
a natsering offer to come North next session
and Secure in all OF the leading cities. ar.
Pond isr understood to have offered Ar.
Davis S4O0 a nigat. but he is willing to IN
crease his terms il Mr.. Davis makes that a
point in the agreement. There Is little
hope, however, OF the acceptance. OF. the
offer, as Mr.. Davis is said to be engrossed
with an autobiography, or q history OF the
late rebellion. 1t is believed TINT should he
accept the offer his sour of lectures would
not only prove interesting and instructive
to the public, but would be profitable and
pleasant to the lecturer.

Reconciliation OF the Leaucr OF tho

reconciliation OF the Leader OF tho
Old Catholics with tile Church of
Rome.
(Special Correspondence Of the Washington Post.l
LONDON, May GA letter from Rome says
there have been number OF contradictory
reports concerning the approaching recon-
ciliation OF Dr.. Dollinger with the Church.
The true state Of the case is now ascertalned
to be this: Shortly after the accession OF the
present Pope he caused distinguished
ecciesiastc TO call upon DR.. Dolinger and
TO express 10 him the sorrow with which
the Pope had heard OF his schlsm,
and the hope that he would IND grace
to abiure his errors and to return to tho
bosom OF the Church Of which he had once
been so faithful and obedient a son and so
staunch and able Il defender. DR.. Dollinger
made somewhat eyasive reply. He spoke
of the grief and disgust with which the
course OF his fcllow-schsmatics had hlled
him, especially in the matter OF marriage or
their priests, but still he did not find hinl-
sell able to make an act OF faith respecting
The DEGREES of the Vatican Council. 4 rev
days aftcrward he wrote the following let

thing which could have given occasion Tor

words that nobody possessing scientific
culture OF mind can ever accept the DEGREES
OF the Vatican Council. Having during the
last nine years devoted my time princi-
palIy to the study Of all questions connect
ed with the history Of the Popes and Coun-
ellis, and I may say gone again over the
whole ground OF ecclesiastical history, and
the result is that the proofs OF The fa!sehood
OF the Vatican DEGREES amount TO demon
stration. When am told that ! must swear
| to the truth OF those doctrines, my feeling
is lust us if i were asked to swear that two
and two are five, and not four" Six days
after writing this letter DR.. DolGnger up

of mind, for letter from him has been re-

Dr. Rend. Of Richmond.

The large auditorium Of the Tabernacle
t'was@wPit filed yesterday morning with the
| members OF the church and many others
drawn there to hear DR.. Read, of Richmond.
Va. After an opening prayer by DR.. Simp-
sou, the congregation sang the fourth
hymn Before Jehovah's Awful Throne"
DR.. Read read the first lesson from the sew
enth chapter OF the prophecy OF Daniel,
and concluded it with the twenty-eighth
chapter OF The gospel by Matthew, concern
ing the visit 10 the sepulchre Of Christ.
hymn 214-" When Thou, my righteous
Judge, shalt "-was then sung, and
DR.. Read entered on his discourse. He said
IL was thirteen years since he had the plea
sure OF visiting Louisville, and then it was
under embarrassing circumstances. He came
mere 10 SOLICIT msney to rebuild his church
in Richmond, which had been burned lust
after the war, and he was happy to say the
noble people OF Louisville responded libe-
rally, and permitted him to carry away
about 81 200. Through the Kindness of DR..
Simpson he was enabled to address them
again, and for the reasons above stated he
felt he was not addressing strangers, but
friends. brothers, and Christians in the
flesh, as well as the spirit. He said he
would take his text from the twentieth
chapter OF the Book of Revelations, and
preach in substance the same sermon
he delivered on that memorable Oc-
casion. He said that what was Di-
vine ought not to be questioned, and it
would be daring presumption for man to at
tempt 10 prove. Therefore the Book OF
Revelations bears witness that there will
and mast be judgment-day, and it would
be the height OF folly for man to attempt to
evadc that eternal cdict for lack OF proof or
love OF worldly affairs. Christ, as the at
torncy, was thea gathering up evidence
which would bring unspcakable Joy to the
prisoner or unutterable sorrows when that
time came, and it certainly behooved the
prisoner to do the same and live such life
that his memory will reflect back on clear
conscience.
The discourse was so prOfusely and so
happily illustrated that to attempt anything
more than a brief notice without notes,
which the Doctor has never made use OF,
would rather mar the effect than interest
the reader. The spontaneous flow OF choice
language, so artisticaly arranged and so
we'll adapted to the. nature Of the theme,
proved The wonderful! uower Of the DoCtur.
and gave evidence OF an abundant reserve
to force conviction on bis hearers. The SER
vices were closed by singing the 216th
hymn" That day OF wrath, that dreadful
day y'-and by prayer offered by Rev. DR..
