Insist that there shall be free ballot,
that the people shall not be controlled

not their servants, shall rule. They

CROP PROsPECTs.-The absence 0
violent winds has been a marked lca
ture o. the season in Ohio, and farmers
have been able to harvest a splendid
stand Of grain. The yield in that State
IS in excess Of last year, and other crops
promise well. The hay crop is not
heavy. but superior to last years in
quality. Adyces from South Carolina
are that cotton never looked better,
while the wheat and oats harvest is the
largest ever known IN that State. Corn
has suffered frcm a drouth. Ofwheat a
remarkably fine average 10 the acre is
reported
1t is estimatcdby the st. Paul (Minn. }
Pioneer Press that the farmers OF that
State will realize s4O,0O),O00 for their
wheat crop this year. The Chicago
Times figures up the new crop for the
United States at 800, O.0G0 bushels, A
falling off of about 50 900, 600 bushels
from last year.

An Englishman on the Valley

Hepworth Dixon, in the White Con
quest, is laudatory of all Virginia. We
can spare space now only for the fol-
lowing bit OF enthusiasm over the VAL
ley. Nor is it in the least overdrawn.
Dutails would have made it all the
stronger
"A ridge of Apennines bulges acros
the country, separating the east from
the enchanting Winchester Valley on
the west These Apeuuines are called
the Blue Ridge, from the purple tinge
which, in the twilight after sunset,
deepens into blue, as dark as that of
either the Syrian Sea or Grecian sky.
Virginla's sun is bright, and his bright
ness constant through the year. Fogs
are unknown, mists seldom seen. This
wealth of sunlight 10 the sky sheds
wealth ofcolor on the landscape. Skies
as clear and streams as fresh are found
in mauy places; but the beauty of this
range Of mountain woods is hardly to
be matched on earth. Groups of hills
rise here and there above the chain of
heights; one Alp, called the White
Top mountain, lifting its head above
the line that Soow1en would attain if
she were piled on the highest peak Of
the Cheyiot hills. These hills are
clothed with pine and maple, oak and
chestnut, to their crowns. Their sides
are all aglow, gold, orange, scarlet,
crimson, russell, all the burning colorS
of the forest mingling in one common
fame The glory OF the falling year
is no where to be seen in such perfec-
fiction as in these Virginia apennines.
Drop into this garden--you feel at
home. This orchard is an English or
charl--apples, pears, peaches, plums;
all are English fruits. Here is a po.
tatoe ridge, you pull the stalk and find
it is an Irish plant Here, too, are
things well known at home. 10 Surry
these grapes would be under glass.
These melons would not grow in an
English garden; and these piPins and
lady apples, though often seen on En-
glish tables, are grown on this Vir-
gina soil. Here We have maize ripen-
ing in one corner, tobacco in the se~
cond, peanuts and sweet potatoes in a
third. These roots and fruits are
homely things to us, yet homsly in a
far off way much as roses at Sharon
and lilies Of the valley are familiar to
our thoughts. We draw nigh to
them and feel at home among them,
yet we recognize a sense OF difference
and of separation that clothes them
with poetic charm

The Philadelphia Times recently
published story, They Have parted
and They Have met Again" by
Miss Lillian Duer, the young lady
who was recently tried in Maryland
for the murder of her friend, Miss
Hcarn. The York Pa) Daily now
points out that the story, with a few
Slight changes, is copied from book
called "Cathariue,' written by one
Herbert Hamilton in 1869. II this is
So and we see no reason to doubt the
Daily's story-Miss Duer must be set
down as an awful example Of MARK
Twain's' theory that often and often
people were led into confirmed habits of
Sabbath breaking, fibbing and other
like sins, just through committing
some trivial little murder, Of which
they thought nothing at the time, bat
which was to be the first fatal step
from the path Of rectiIude into a downs
ward course never to be retraced.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING.-An unus-
ually large number Of deaths By light
ming have been already reported this
summer, and last summer, it may be re-
membered, there were several remark
able accidents Of this kind. Not less
than ten persons were killed. In near
ly every notable case it turns out that
the victims perish in circumstances
which exhibit their thOughtlessness OF
the danger-in circumstances IN which
persons who are timid about lightning
would not have been found at the time.
1t is worth a moments consideration
for people whose lives are OF some
value to their families al least, whether,
after all, it is not better to purchase
security at the cheap rate OF flight from
an enemy against whom no courage
can avail. 1t is not shameful TO run
10 shelter in case OF an impending
thunderstorm, and it will conduce much
10 ones safety, especially if the run !.
made iudiciously. Two men were killed
last summer on a church steeple. Hall
an hours time lost would have saved
both their lives. Up at oreakness a
maa worked at a metal roof and was
killed this summer. Had he judlclously
chosen another time for the labor his
life also would have been saved. But
it is not safe to take shelter under trees,
especially if the trees are tall or stand
in isolated positions. In the case OF the
little children killed under a tree on
Sunday death came, Of course, before
there was fairly occasion to take alarm,
and we refer to the danger of trees,
therefore, without special reference to
that case. Shelter 10 the woods is not
generally dangerous, but 1t is better 10
be drenched in the open fields than to
than to take shelter under tall, isolated
tree.-New York Herald.

WONDERFUL EFFECT PEoDUCED BY
AN OBJECTIONABLE PAIL BEARER.-lt
is not every day that a pail bearer
saves the life of the corpse. The Pitts
burg (Pa) Telegraph relates how a
worthy citizen was sick unto death. lie
fell into stupor, which lasted three
of four days He was carefully watch
ed by his wife and one or two ladies.
One afternoon the attending physician
said he could not live the day, and the
sorrowing wife, with a view to having
everything in readiness for the end,
held a consultation with her friends as
to the arrangements for the funeral.
The conversation was held at the bed
side OF the dying man. and in a short
time all the details were arranged ex-
cept the names of those who should
be asked to be pail bearers. Three or
four young gentleman had been selec.
ted, when the wife said, GLOW would
Mr.. So-and-so do" "Oh, he would
do nicely echoed the corus OF friends,
"he's such a nice Young man. There
was sudden moyemeOt under the
coverings of the bed, and the dying
husband slowly raised himself on one
elbow, rubbed his eyes, and said in
weak voice, "No he won't do. !
amt going to have that fellow for one
of my pail, bearers The ladies were
astonished at this revival of the sick
man, but the wife laid him back gen
tIy on the pillows and said soo'hingly:
"Never mind, dear don't worry. This
is a matter that need not trouble you.
1t is a sad duty which we will have to
perform after you are gone" "No, it
isn't, said the husband Grossly. "That
fellow isn't going to be one Of my pail
bearers. l don't like him, and never
did, and if you are going to have him
rll get well, see if I don't" Again
he fell back il the bed and became uu
conscious, but in few hours there
came a change for the better. TO. day
he walks the streets hale and hearty
as any man.

The Car of Russia rubs through of

Turkey gets s6 600, 900, which must be
the very life blood of his subjects. Ma

Joseph, of Austria, has $4,000, 900.
Queen Victoria is prudent enough to

A SUccEssFU SPEcULATIoNIN
Wharf.-The Chicago Tribune of the
1stiustant says:
"The wheat deal which closed yes
terday is in many respects the most
remarkable operation in gain that was
ever engineered in this country. The
combination on the 'long" side was
organized early last May. and was the
nltural outgrowth of the Keene pur-
chase of 100000 bushels last fall.
Possessed of almost unlimited capital,
it went into The market, and III adds
ton to buying all the options offered
for May and June, secured the con-
troll Of all the cash wheat that was off
cred The stocks in Milwaukee, But
falo and New York were also purchase
ed, aud to-day there is not bushel OF
No. ? spring IN sight in this country
or ahoat for Europe that does not be-
long to the combination. The options
were bought at an average price of92
cents per bushel, and the great bulk
of them were settled at about 81 03 to
81 OF, although at the close cleariugs
were made at 81 O6a to l o. The
profits on the deal must foot up in the
neighborhood of Sl,0OO,00O. The
combination insist that they made no
attempt to work a corner; they bought
the wheat on its merits, and confiden-
tly believe that it will sell for at least
Sl.25 before any Of the crop will be
harvested"
A note worthy feature Of Thursdays
transactions in New York was the
purchase by well-known exporter of
that city of 900, 900 bushels of No. 2
Milwaukee spring wheat from the COM
binatiou of speculative holders that has
existed for some time, The purchase
was made on private terms, but 1t Is
said that the price paid was well up
to the market rates.
