THE wheat harvest of the Valley of vir-

THE June floods of the Missouri and its
tributaries are causing exceedingly high
water in the Mississippi. The American
bottom has been flooded, and great damage
done to farms and crops, the farmers flee

and much more damage will likely ensue.

THE steamer Furnessia, of the Anchor
line, arrived at New York yesterday with
500 steerage passengers on board, two
thirds of whom are paupers, sent here from
Ireland by the British Government. Some
of them, whole families, were taken from
workhouses, in which they had been in
mates for long periods in one instance for
twelve years.
Our authorities should take prompt and
stern measures to prevent this assisted emil
grafton. 1t is double outrage, for England
first makes paupers of the Irish people by
infamous and oppressive laws, and then
compels the miserable creatures to abandon
their native land and seek, friendless, PEN
niless and helpless, refuge on our shores.
And while we pity these unfortunate crea-
lures deeply, we cannot, in self-protection,
allow England to unload her paupers on us.
The help the English authorities extend
to these poor people is meagre. The sums
of money in the possession of these particu-
lar unfortunates were very small, indeed,
ranging from ten shillings to seven pounds,
according to the size Of the families. And
the brutal authorities who had induced
them to emigrate added insult to injury by
pretending to provide them with railway
tickets from New York to their destina-
tions. Samples of this sneaking fraud are
these: Mary Lynch and daughter wanted
to go to Chicago where they thought they
had friends. The brute who represented
England had supplied her with ticket for
Norwich, Conn. Joe Sullivan. with his
wife and five children, wished to go to Gin
cinnati. The ticket given him by Eng
lands representative was for Holyoke
Mass. There were other like cases.
Prompt action is imperatively demanded
in this matter.

FREDERICK DOUGLASs.-We would
invite attention to the advertisement
of the Park Publishing Co., of Hart
ford, Conn, who have recently issued
the Autobiography of Frederick Doug
lass. Our readers are all more or less
acquainted with the history of this man
and should mako themselves familiar
with his book. The Cleveland (Ohio)
Leader says:
This book will gam instant recognition
as one of the healthiest and most import
ant works ever contributed to American
literature. 1t will take its place as a vol
ume indispensable in the complete records
of our ma tionaI history. The life struG-
gle it pOrtrays will be erected as a stand
ard of emulation to the youth and man
hood of America, who, without such ex-
amples. might well doubt the possibility
of climbing so high from condition so
low. And scarcely less important to the
work and the lesson it has to teach. it
possesses advantages quite unparalleled
for holding interest, and stamping upon
all classes of minds its inherent principles
Of freedom and manhood. The narrative
of Douglass days Of slavery and escape
from bondage is hardly less interesting
than = Uncle Toms Cabin" while the
truths lose nothing i'll comparison with
the Ideally of thaC work, and it carries its
subject through wider range of accom-
plishment to rank sufficiently exalted to
win all admiration. 1t is needless to speak
of the literary style OF the book; the ac-
complishments OF the writer are known to
all who read. Americans will be proud
of this donation to their literature, and
thankful to Mr.. Douglass that he made it
himself.
