THIS country has received valuable access
sion to its food products in the new grain called
Egyptian corn, which the Mennonite enigrants
have introduced from Russia. 1t is said to be
the ancient cereal alluded to in biblical narra-
tives; and endures drought as no other grain
does in this climate. It is described as a short
stalk growing like our corn and having at the
top tuft which droops over and then becomes
mass of grain. The kernel is like wheat only
that it is round. 1t is enclosed in a shuck and
the purposes to which it is devoted are varied.
The Mennonites make excellent flour Of it and
boil and eat it as we do rice or crushed wheat.
When boiled it has much the appearance Of
pampas rice. The stalk makes excellent fodder
and the farmers find it good for pigs. It's nu-
tritive qualities are highly extolled, and the
stalks when dried make better fuel than wood.
The yield is sixty bushels to the acre and no
kind of weather affects it.
The Eureka (Nev.) Leader of April II re-
lates another miners experience, showing that
earthquake shocks are not felt very far below
the surface of the ground. This miner said
that on the occasion of tho last shock at Secret
Canon be was at work in q mine on Prospect
mountain, and although the tremor was plainly
felt by his partners on the surface, he, at ,
depth of 80 feet, noticed nothing unusual. HI
also said that through an experience of Is year
under ground he had observed one very pecu
liar fact-that between the hours of IA and
o'clock at night, if there was d lose stone or bi
Of earth in the mine it was sure to fall. Sale
he: "About this time it seems that everything
begins to stir, and Immediately after ~, al
though the mine has been g still as the toni
before, you will hear little particles + rock m,
earth come tumb]ing down, and il there is
oaving piece Of ground in the mine it is sure Il
give away"

The Sioux Falls Paragraph says:
There seems to bs q difference of opinion
in the territory, 40 to the number. Of dele
gates to which Dakota will Do entitled Ia
the national republican c%onyentien which
will meet In Chicago next June. The
Black Hills Times figures that Ne are to

two, and % the territories are each given
the same number It 10 scavcely probable
that this has been. increased for the ensue-
ing convention, although We have not now
at band any definite information on the sub
ject.
Governor Edmunds, Dakota's member Of
the national republican committee, settles
this difference of opinion BY informing us
that Dakota is entitled to two delegates in
the national convention. It has been the
custom 70 elect two delegates aud two alter
mates, aud from thie practice arises the mis-
taken notion that Dakota il entitled to four
votes in the national convention. The last
convention for the election of delegates to
the national convention was held At Yank.
ton on the oath day Of May, 1876. at which
Alexander Hughes and Alexander Nc
Hench were chosen delegates and Geo. H.
Hand and G. p. Flannery alternates. The
call for this convention was Issued about the

LincoIn,s Opinion of Gzaucocls

BEDFORD SPRlNos, Aug. 81 met Mr.
James McDougal, a lumber merchant of
Baltimore, OF high respeetability, and one
of the genial class of Springs visitors who
become generally known and Unpular. Mr..
McDougal has been an ardent Republcan,a
demoniac condition he reached after starting
in life as an OH Line Wing and passing
thence through the purgatory Of Douglas
Democracy. Mr.. McDougal lost forty thou
sand and some odd dollars by the rebellion,
circumstance which may account for some
OF his bitterness against the rebels. They
say he was IN danger Of being lyuched in
the unpalrioiic atmosphere Of Baltimore in
the earlier days of the rebellion, a feet which
| can readily believe, for lie is evidently
Jrim full OF strong opinions ard plain Ian
guage, and has no disposition To check their
overflow. lie told me something that you
will be glad to hear and which am sur
prised that we never read before.
When Mr. Lincoln issued his emancipa.
ton proclamution-l believe that was the
timnre went on TO Washington To congratu-
late bin. Mr.. McDougal was one Of the
| number. They speedily got thrrugh with
their address at the White House and were
about to leave, with the declaration that
they would not further lrespass upon the
Presidents valuable time.
"Take seats, take seats !" exclaimed Mr..
Lincoln, as he rang for chairs to be brought
IN. alt would be strange il could not
spare a hall hour or an hour for eOnversd-
ton With friends who have come from Bal
limure Ia see me-"
The visitors sat down and spent nearly
an hour in conversation. Presently the
subject Of Generals came up, and various
opinions were expressed us 10 who was the
ablcsl officer ON our side. When great
many opinions had been given, Mr.. Lincoln
said
"Gentlemen, in my judgment you have
not struck the right man yet"
Aud of course all were anxious to hear
him name the man, and asked him TO do so.
He said
alt is Gen. Hancock"
The countenances OF his visitors expressed
| their surprise, and one Of them veulurod to
say that he feared Hancock was too rash.
Yes said Mr.. LincolG, $50 some Of the
older Generals have said TO me, aud have
SAID To them that have watched General
Huncock conduct very carefully and have
found that when he goes into action he
achieves his purpose and comes out with a
smaller list OF casualties than any Of them
