The Wheat Crop Of the North
west.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 19.-We are
Just beginning to get a substantial
foundation for an estimate of the
wheat crop of the State in the shape
of returns from actual measurements
Of the thrashing machine. These do
not vet demand much modification Of
the tentative estimates made week
ago. In the Southern and Minneso-
ia Valley counties the returns do not
Justify the expectation of more than
six or eight bushels per acre. Many
fields are a total failure, will not re-
pay the seed, and are not worth har-
vesting. The reports 80 far have
rarely been definite as to the quality
of the wheat in this part of the State.
but it is scarcely reasonable to expect
that much of it will grade No. l, ex-
cept some Of the new frontier coun-
ties. In the northern counties the
the yield is liberal, though not up to
the e1travagant expectations of the
early hypothetic arithmeticians.
A dispatch from Detroit announces
that the yield is twenty-four bushels
to the acre of good quality. This fig.
ure can hardly be maintained in al
the localities along the line of the
Northern Pacific, though it is prob
able that twenty bushels is not ar
extravagant estimate. The yield
along the main line of the ST. Paul
Minneapolis and Manitoba railway
rises to about the same test, judging
from the dispatches and from state
ments received and printed yester
day. 1t is noticeable that all the re
ports from northern localities dwell
upon the high grade of the wheat
1t is possible, though hardly more IL
the light of the actual information a
hand, that the large yield of high
grade wheat in the northesn counties
may overcome the deficiency in TIM
south, and raise the average yield t.
the customary point about twelv'
bushels per acre. Returns from a few
more thrashers will tell the story.

':AMoNG the emigrants passing over
the Pennsylvania Railroad one day
last week was German family, con-
sisting of the grandfather, grand
mother and their nine children, six
SONS and three daughters, all of
whom are married, with their fami-
lies on board the same train. There
were forty grandchildren and eleven
great grandchildren, the entire re-
lationship consisting of ninety-fve
people. They will settle in Northern
Iowa, and will form a colony of their
own. Among the men in the party
are practical farmers, weayers, shoe
makers and butchers"
The above brief article revives in
the mind the historical statement IN
the Bible that Jacob went down into
Egypt with his family of seventy
people. If the German family above
mentioned, in the period of four
hundred years to come, develope as
did Jacobs race, they will have q
marked influence upon the human
family to come.

corridor and within easy calling dis
tance of the guard, had he chosen to
call him. McGill was confident that
he could overcome the assassin, and
he did not call but fought it out
alone
Had it met been for the accidental
discharge Of the pistol the country
might have been freed from trying
the double dyed scamp. After the
affray Guiteau spoke Of it as q pre-
arranged plan to kill him, forgetting
the fact that he made the first hostile
assault. He appeared perfectly cool
and collected when he was disarmed,
but tile CLEAN Of his eyes boded no
good to any one who was concerned
in it should he have the opportunity
of doing harm During the tussle
he made no cry, and his whole object
seemed to be only to take the life OF
the one who had him in custody, for
he attributes all his sufferings to
those in whose charge he is.
Guiteau obtained information as to
the supposed dying condition of the
President when the prisoners emptled
their tubs at 6 o clock at night About
8 o'clock he questioned one OF the
officers as to President Garfeld's con-
dition, but could not elicit any infor-
nation. When it was found out that
the President was thought to be dy.
ing he was questioned, and asked II
he felt any contrition for his act, but
responded that st was all IN the
hands of the Lord" For the first
few weeks of his imprisonment he
expressed himself as sorry that the
President suffered, and wished he
had put another ball in him, so as to
have killed him instantly. Latterly
he expressed sorrow for the Presi-
dents suffering, and wished he had
not done it. Since Thursday last he
seems to have gone back to his origi-
nal idea of hoping that the President
would die, and on Sunday wrote and
addressed letter to president Ar
thur. He eagerly questions each one
who passes his cell as to the Presi-
dents condition, and appears to be
deeply insulted whom no answer is
made to his interrogatory. The cell
in which he is confined is the same
that babe" Bedford occupied prior
TO his execution. 1t is about four
feet in width, eight in height and ten
in length, with small barred window
opening upon the west corridor,
where a soldier is ON duty continual
ly in sight of the window. As the
news of the report reached the Jail
some days ago that the President was
dying the guard of soldiers was dou-
bled, for fear that some demonstra-
ton would be made toward lynching
the assassin, and it will be kept on
duty till the crisis is past.
The rest of the prisoners at the
Jail despise Guitean too much to have
passed the knife or ''cheeser" to him,
and it is probable that it had been
concealed in the mattress by the last
occupant. His shoes were examined,
and it was found that he had not re-
moved the si,ank from either OF them.
They were taken away, and he will
be compelled to go barefooted OF
wear the brogans furnished by the
Government. Extra precaltion will
be taken hereafter to prevent repe.
tition of this escapade.

The doctors attending upon Presi-
dent Garfield have been criticised in
an unmanly way by many newspaper
men. The Philadelphia North finer
ican, however, is not one of the pa
pers that has been abusing the doc
tors. 1t says: '.Dr. Bliss and those
of his colleagues who have attracted
the wrathful criticism of shallow and
sensational newspapers, in whose
columns ignorance is made to assume
the g1ise of superior knowledge, may
console themselves by the reflection
that they have the sympathy of fair
minded and intelligent people, who
realize how great strain has been
imposed upon them, and how strenu-
ously they have devoted themselves
to the discharge of their onerous
duty. In view of the terrible re-
sponsibility which is on their sEoul-
ders, nothing could be more cruelty
inconsiderate than the captious con-
demnation which is so freely passed
upon them by those who are either
not competent or not in a position to
Judge justly. But it is very easy to
find fault, and with certain class OF
people it is very effective
