A few orchards are yielding well, but most of
them not ut all.
Since the rairs our farmers have donned
smiling countenances.
A shower of grasshoppers fell in this neigh
borhood a few days ago. They are reported to
be ofthe Rocky mountain variety and not the
natives that have been so numerous all summer.
AS the hay crop is very short. why don't our
farmers cut all the corn, and thus save a most
excellent substitute for hay ? Much fodder is
wasted when the fields are pastured during
winter.
Our bee raisers should examine their hives and
provide food for the bees dnrIng the winter, as
no honey has been made since early sumner.
They will probably die OF starvation even before
winter. remember hearing an old gentleman
say several years ago that he had Kept his bees
alive al W inter by putting !oaves Of cornbrcad
saturated with mOlasses into the hives. OF
course. when the supply of sacharmc substance
has been extracted the loavcs must be renewed.
The Galway county bees had IL regular bread
riot during two days OF last week. They swept
into houses, private and public, and the grocery
stores were invaded by these winged foraSers
In search of food. So serious was the march Of
this army OF Invaders that business was suspend
ed for several hours. the black flag hoistcd. and
a war Of determination waged, in which
bushels ofthese model labors We're destroyed.
Back log fires are coming into vogue, and are
delightful morning and evening visitors. The
wordless sobbing of the winds proclaims the
death OF the beautiful summer. We have buried
her just where the brown grasses infringe upon
the green; where the last roses showered their
shell-like petals, and where the regal purple
astors nod all through the shortening September
days. Here and there 4 spray of painted leaves
or an aged tree trunk festooned with crimson
embroidery heralds the approach OF autumn.
Everybody Is busy preparing for winter, and
yet nobody ever gets ready for his coming The
last few loads of produce or of fuel are alw ays
hastily consigned to the store house with the
wish for a few more days of pleasant weather
May the weather clerk date the tyrant's coming
as far into the future as possible, and negotiate
for a lingering visit from the COY Indian summer.

GRANT AND THE EMPIRE.

If Grant becomes president he will be
the last president-until the revolution.
He has been feted and toasted, wined
and dined by kings and princes. address
ed as ''the King of America" tor a pur-
pose. HIS party Is q party Of revolu-
ton; it is a party of force; it IS a party
OF extravaganza. a party of corruption.
Caring nothing for constitutional res
traints it has disfranchised and robbed
large portions OF the people OF the
country. and is now preparing the minds
of thousand OF northern yeomen to hate
the south to such an extent as to be ready
to risk anything rather than southern SUI
premacy in national affairs. The next
step will be at the behests OF the bond
holders and money lords, who will say.
1.-The business interests of the country
demand peace. Peace a only come
with the Empire. Give US the empire.
and ennoble our families. as bulwarks
to the throne. We have our coats of
arms and escutcheons now. Our SER
wants are liveried. Our SOM have been
taught to look upon the toiling masses
as mere hewers of wood and drawers of
water. as plebelans. Vive rempire;
vtve P~empereur!" This is what may
be coming. Has the country enough
virtue to resist 1t if it should come?
We see thieves and blackguards arro-
eating to themselves the virtue of the
country. We see little men aspiring
to fill big places-men not only little in
brain. but little in their aims, and de-
void of patriotism. Unless these are
RELOCATED to the obscurity from which
only their own tom-toms elevate them.
the democratic party cannot succeed (;
and no other will or can preserve the
liberties Of the people as they were in
terpreted by Jefferson and Madison and
Monroe. Even if no emperor ass umes
the purple, what would the name, +
public be worth without the substance
of genuine liberty?
