An exchange reads the farmers Il
very pertinent lecture on the JIM
purtalIcc Of saving tlG crops after
they mc harvested. It observes
that in many SECTIONS the Eunlcrs
llavc harvested i Jinst liuYntilul
crop Of wheat. A few years as'
just such 4 crop was harvested and
allowed to stand in the shock in
the fields until il was well nigh
ruined. Farmers have got in the
habit ofallowing their grain to thus
stand and await the slp% and nn'
certain. coming ofthc steam thrcsh-
rr. In the year Of which We sneak
millions of dollars were lost to the
farmers in the wheat belt that
might haze been saved by II little
extra work in Stacking, The les
son should not he forgotten the
present year. il has bcea y year Of
storms, and those who have ieen
blessed With bountiftd crops should
act promptly, and place il beyond
danger from the destruction of the

Minncscta's Great Wheat Crop,

Without extending our gaze into
the dazzling visions Of the near
future, VIC may abmdntly content
ourselves with the marvellous pros
poet immediately before lis, rs "
reasonable probability, that Min
ncsoia will this year harvest acror
ofncaIly fifty million bushels Of
wheat, which Il concurrence Of All
&picious conditions may swell 10
iiity-livc millions. This is ly far
the biggest wheat crop--if We raise
(which ever hardened the grana-
ries Of any State Of t!hu Union. Its
money value 10 t'!e falgners Of this
State can hardly hc less than forty
million dollars, and t4ly he much
more than this, fo.' III our European
alviccs point 10 ;iIe probability,
rapidly ripcning To certainty, that
the wheat crop of Europe this year
will be short. In England there
is no doubt that The annual deli
cheney will be largely increased by
u comparative failure Of the domcs-
&c crop, and similar reports come
from the contincnt!-&. Paul,

Brilliant Exhibition of Skill at Caldwe,ps
Last Night.


Last Night.
It was announced to . limited extent yesterday
that Mr.. James Murray, the renowned finger-blard-
ist of New York. at present In this city, would give
an exhibition Of his astonishing ability to manipu.
late the balls, last evening, at Caldwcls Blue ront
restaurant and billiard parlor en- jackson street
Having t only arrived on Tuesday, the knowledge Of
Mr.. Murray's presence In St. Paul was necessarily
limited to his personal friends, but at O'Clock last
evening the spacious billiard at the Blue Front
was filled to 0verfowng with the lovers Of the game
to witness the remarkable exhibition.
IN nts M @ was opened With run Of
Der OF the most complicated shots were accomplished
entities Mr. Murray to rank one of the foremost
fnger.bilardists In the world. Tho most intricate
and difficult shots were made with an ease wiz
ardik facility that called forth the spontaneous ell
cornium of all present, while the manner in Mhich
the balls responded to the legerdemain-
like performance of the conjurer astonished
some of the Oldest veterans in the hall
The fancy shots were particularly fine, the true
beauty Of which must be in order to be fully ap
columns of anyletical description. number of
rail, massa and bank shots were made with an ease
and bewilderng accuracy that almost battles descrir-
ton, while his ability to draw and the balls is
superior to any ever before witnessed in st. aul
Among other shots, he places two balls on the floor
aud one on two billiard cues laid in parallel position
across the table, with the points resting directly u
der the cushion rail- the handles reclining on the op-
posite side of the table at considerable elevation.
The shoot is accomplished by carom on the cue
ball. and the point was made with the utmost ease
imaginable Several equally difficult shoots were &C
conplished, but lack of space forbids an extended
notice. At the request of friends, Mr.. Murray will
give an exhibition this evening at Caldwell's branch
billiard parlor, No. 14 West Third street. where the
