About Staying Too Long In Friendly
Visits.

ONE class of persons will need an
especial amount of grace this summer.
We mean those women who, having
worked hard in their homes all winter,
are visited by their city friends all
summer. Perhaps they have married
the sons who by fate of fortune have
kept the old homes. All the brothers
and sisters, with their troops of chill
dren, must come back to the shade
trees and meadows for n quiet rest.
Perhaps they have no special love for
the woman who presidcs over the old
time house, but it is such convenient
thing to have n place TO visit where
there are no board bills To pay. Ten to
one, the wife i'm the country is more
worn than her city relatives. aud is in
no wise able to bear the extra care or
manage the additional cooking. For
by force of circumstances, she has been
dressmaker, milliner and servant. may
be, i'm her large family the whole year
through. She has turned dresses
wrong side out and upside down. She
has made every dime go its far
thest. And now the visitors have come
to use up all herself-sacriticc has saved.
IL might have been pleasant 10 have re-
ceived them for three days, but when
they remain three months, the case is
different. We once heard gentleman
remark that he "could say all the new
things he had to say to visitors in ono
day." and, as rule. we quite agree
with him. The cheapest way to visit is
to go to hotel or clearinghouse, and
pay an equivalent for what one receives.
Of course, one has congenial friends
whom it is a pleasure to see much and
often; but too many so-called friends
are persons who are serving their own
neutrality-suspicious. who never offer
to help in kitchen or parlor. and who
seem oblivious to the fact that anything
is being done for them. Don't make
your summer trip at the expense Of
anybody's comfort. Let your religion,
if you profess it, permeate all your
plans, especially those for summer Wis
iting. -EJohan1e

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

The Department of Agriculture has

growing States, which give an approximate
and estimate of the crop Of 1880. These re-
turns give a more favorable aspect to
the crop than anticipated in informa-
ton from other sources. The destruction
of wheat by the army-worm has not
been general nor extensive, the depreciation
being local in character, and confined almost
exclusively to portions of New York and
Connecticut. The worm made its appear
ance in some Of the Western States, but not
to an extent sufficient to materially reduc-
the general crop results. In some local
tiles the early harvest saves crops
from depreciation. The most serious
cause of short yield has been
the drought which has prevailed in the
northwestern grain growing areas where the
bulk of this staple is grown. In Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan later
reports show great improvement and larger
yield than was expected. In Illinois there
will be approximately an average crop. In
Kansas and Iowa the yield will also be fair.
The July synopsis of the cotton crop
report presents a very favorable average con-
the South. In certain portions there has
been slight damage from drought, caterpillar
and rust, but not sufficient to reduce the
general average below the crop of last year.
The present condition of the crop is report

last year.
ANOTHER inning horror has occurred
in Wales. At an early hour on the morning
of the 18th an explosion took place in the
new black vein pit Of the London and South
Wales Coliery Company, at Risca, six miles
from Newport. The pit is $50 yards deep.
The force of the explosion was so
great as to utterly destroy the VEN
tilating fan in the up-cast air. blast,
thus cutting off every vestige Of hope of es-
cape to the 120 men below, all of whom were
doubtless suffocated in a short time. A
number of explosions of like fatal charac-
ter have occurred in the same mine, one in
1860, by which 145 lives were lost.
DR. TANNER on the 10th entered up
on the 18th day of his fast, in better condi-

far from normal, and, what was still more
remarkable, he had actually gained slightly
in strength and decidedly in weight during
the previous twenty -four hours.

WOmen's Rights In Africa.

The Bolanda negroes in Africa be-
lieve in the supremacy of woman. II
is with them the law that women shall
sit in the councils of the Nation; that n
young man. on entering the matrimo-
NAL state. shall remove from his own
village to that of his wife, and. in
forming this relation, he shall bind
himself to provide his mother with
food so long as she shall live. Here,
too, tie wife alone can divorce the
husband. and the children, in that
event, become the property of the
mother. The men cannot enter into
the most ordinary contract without the
permission of the lady superior of the
domestic circle. In the very heart of
Central Africa is the paradise that
many women are vainly striving for in
America, and the rights she clamors
for here are already granted In this
far-off country to women, and by what
we call an "uncivilizcd people" A
few delegates from Bolanda might be
OF good service to the cause, for they
at least can speak from experience Of
what, to US, are yet untricd laws.

the reports Of the failure of the wheat crop
in the Northwest are greatly exaggerated.
In the southern and river counties of Min
nesota, in Northern Iowa and Northwestern
Wisconsin the crop has suffered severely
since the heavy rains Of the first Of June,
which were followed by warm sun, Undue

his work in certain sections. But within
these limits the losses will not exceed 40 per
cent, while in other sections the crops are
generally uninjured.

Last year Lyon county assessed the
main trscaof the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad at s25, 900. per mile and the
side track at $4,000 per mile. The
company refused to pay taxes on this
valuation. and the county brought suit
for their collection. The case was tried
this week, and the jury found a verdict
against the Railroad Company for the
full amount claimed by the county. Of
course, the company will appeal the case
to the Supreme Court, but as that tri-
bunal decided the question involved
some years ago, in the case Of Wasboe
county against the Central Pacific, the
judgment will be sustained, unless the
Court follows the example Of the United
States Supreme Court in the case in
volying the constitutionality Of the act

DICKENS sNUBBED.

haps the following may be of interest
to some of his admirers who do not
understand how totally apart was tho
great noyelist's genius and what might
be called-for want ola better term
his everyday individuality. Dickens
was, TO put it broadly, at one and the
same time, one Of the most marvellous
writers and unmitigated snobs that
ever breathed.
During his last visit to this country
he gave, among his readings, a series
of four at Washington, where he
stopped some weeks, and where, as
elsewhere, he received the most Dat

at the celebrated Welcker restaurant.

RAY FOR BREAD.
The Terrible Distress Ofthe Fam
ine-strieiSen Irish People.

In the neighborhood ofSligo, writes
a correspondent of the Cork Constitu-
ton, the distress has reached a terri
bic pitch in spite of every local effort
to stem its onward course. This
morning the relief committee were
waited on by eight hundred poor
wretches clamoring for food. and per-
haps not a quarter ofthem will be able
to carry to their starving children to-
night SO much as a pound of meal.
The funds Of the committee are
running out, they can not
give to all who apply, and they,
therefore have to weed out the cases
and render assistance only to those
who are almost dying with starvation.
This is what Roderick Gearty, of
Grange, in the parish of Ahamlish,
has to say about the condition of the
people. Conscientious doctor of
the Cliffony district told me a few
days ago hat he was after attending
the father of a large family. and that
the mar was DYING Of hunger; and, but
a few hours since, | met with another
highly respectable man from the same
part of the parish, and he assured me
that a very decent woman, the mother
OF a large family, came to him in the
morning, and on her knees besought
him to give her the price of a quarter
stone Of meal. She was suffering the
pangs Of hunger. Even in this part
of the parish, where the people are
comparatively comfortable, there were
some at this moment without a morsel
to eat. 1t is the awful truth that
famine is not merely approaching. but
that it has really come, and yet all the
means that have been received up
70 the present time wherewith to fight
this fell destroyer have been eS5 from
the Marlborough Fund, ESQ from the
Mansion House, ESQ from local
sources and ESQ from the Bish-
op Of Liverpool. Hundreds of
persons crowd into town day after day
.clamOring for relief. Some of the
poor souls declare they have been
whole days without tasting food, and
certainly their wasted looks, their
sorroWful eyes and hollow cheeks fully
confirm their assertions. The bulk Of
the population of this parish is squat

The land is bad mostly reclaimed bog.

TIE Nashville Banner says The
school commissioners of Boston have
been trying an experiment in their
public schools that has given such
eminent satisfaction that we hope our
schools may be induced to do the same
thing 1t consists in exchanging the
common readers composed Of scraps
of selected reading for a continuous
story. Scholars that showed no in
terest in reading when put on a good
standard novel or some interesting
history evince an interest in the book
they had never shown before. 1t has
worked wonders with them. and would
do the same everywhere. All
children love a good story, and a we'll
selected one suited to their age would
get up an interest in the story that
would enchain their attention with
%pleasurable anticipations. For young
scholars Robinson Crusoe or Arabian
Nights or Ksop's Fables or Fairy
tales, and for older ones SCOTS or
Dickens novels, Prescott's histories
or Irying's, Don Quixote, Gil Bias,
Coopers works, and many others would
form splendid reading. 1t is worthy
of trial
