We publish the visible supply again today,
but this time it is in the New York report, the
one published yesterday being from Chicago,
which, like their marginal dealings, was decided
ly inflated, Our labored literary effort to ex-
plain where the large increase came from was
all for naught, and we simply state that the de-
crease during the last week was l, 255, 1876
bushels, indicating that the people continued to
eat fiap5iacks, and sent a little for extra con-
sumption across the water

The story that Gen. Sherman and Secretary
Lincoln were compelled to paw their fare by a
railroad conductor, who threatened to putthe
OH the train, ls pronounced untrue.
Postofice and site changed: Dakota-De-
willo, Richland county, to Fairmont, two miles
east; Hughitt, Hyde county, to Holabird- New
offices: Leon 3. Champney, Easterly, coling-
ton county, Dak:; William Taege, Maine, Mar
county, Wis.
Congressman Washburn is much pleased
with the passage in the sundry bill of the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the Minneapolis
bubble buildings. This removes the limit
which was put in the original law on the sum
to DO expended for the building, so that now
the people of Minneapolis may expect the cree
h supervising architect will make plans on
the basis ola building to cost from $500, 200 to
3350,0OO 1t will probably be q three-story
building: The postmaster has been invitedto
come to Washington to consult with reference
to the plan of the first story for the postofice.
Secretary Frelinghuysen has received the fol-
lowing telegram fiom Frank II. Mason, United
States consul at. Marseilles: The cho-
lera of Toulon was kept secret until
recently. On the 14th there was one death;
10th, one; Goth, two; 2lst, three; 22d, thirteen;
Esd five; and 25th, twelve. The cases are
Of mild character. There has been only ono
death at the navy hospital. The deaths are
equally divided between civilians and military,
and are chiefly among the aged or young. The
question whether it is Asiatic or sporadic is
still undecided, but the former is probable.
There are hopes of checking the epidemic by
sanitary precautions. The condition of Mar
settles is excellent, and the death rate below
the average.

The provision in the army appropri-
alton bill to relieve soldiers of the reg
ular army from the severe manual labor
imposed upon them is q very wise one
for the improvement of the standard of
soldiership. Is is q matter of fact that
at very many of the frontier posts the
enlisted men are compelled to work as
hard and at very much the same kind
Of employment as railroad laborers
and farm hands, beside performing the
sentry duty and other routine occu-
pations of the military service. This
is not what they enlist or are paid for,
and one inducement for this class of
men to accept the meagre pay of SOL
diers is to escape this severe and con
tinuous labor, while they are very will
ling to accept the dangers and hard
'ihips of the military service.

The farmers of the northwest have
reason for gratitude that the killing
frosts and drouth which have almost de-
vastated some portions of New
England and other States, did not pre-
vail in this section. Though the season
was late, yet the recent warm and wet
weatherhas pushed things ahead beyond
the most sanguine expectations, end
there is q fair prospect that everything
will ripen before the usual time for
frosts. It has been often remarked
that the northwest is more exempt from
untimely frosts than sections of country
several degrees further south, and this
statement is bourne out by the expert
ence of at least a quarter Of o century.
The northwest now blossoms like the
rose, and frosts and drouth have not
done any harm this year, us yet.

The late unprecedented rains in Cali
fornia have done great damage to the
crops. Hundreds of tons of hay lying
in the fields will be a total loss, while
thousands of acres of grain are laid fiat
on the ground. A dispatch from Sail
mas says "The rains have been the
heaviest eve experienced in the valley
i'll the month of June. Thousands of
tons Of hay are lying in the fields, a
soggggy mass, rendered unfit for any pur-
pose. All the heavy barley is down,
most of it beyond recovery. Wheat is
in the same state. The loss to farmers
in this section from these rains will not
be less than half a million dollars"
Rain at this season in California as
tounds the Oldest inhabitant and all are
ready to admit that the theory of a
change of climate may have something
in it after all.

How it Was Done.

Frugal as the Scotch are, they could
learn something in the art of saving
from the french. The ordinary waste
fulness of an American kitchen throws
away that which would almost feed q
French family. For in France every
housekeeper is taught the art of making
much out of a little. An American lady,
s%ojourning in the French province Of
Auverres, says:
II am simply astonished at the num-
Der of good, wholesome dishes which
my friend here makes for her table from
things which at home I always threw
away. Dainty little dishes from scraps
of cold meat, from hard crusts of bread
delicately prepared and seasoned, from
almost everything and nothing, And yet
there is no feeling of stinginess or want.
1t is only the French housekeeper's hor-
o of wasting anything.
II wish my countrywomen might take
pattern after them. It would lesson many
auseless expense for the table."

Worcester, Massachusetts is prepar-
ing to celebrate its two hundredth ami
yersary. A few adventurous men and
women had previously braved the dan
gers of the forest and had made for
themselves rude homes in that locality,
and in October 1854, the legislature,
then known as the "great and general
court" lent it's c%ountenance to their en-
terprise and gave to their humble set
Element the name of Worcester, a name
notedin English history. People resid-
ing west of the Mississippi, and es-
pecially in the northwest, can hardly
realize the interest attached to celebra-
tions of this character in sections of the
country that were settled two hundred
years ago, or the patient investigation
and care exercised to exhume and pre-
serve every incident of early history,
but they can derive therefrom some
idea of the importance of rescuing from
the "Aood of years" everything that in
time mayShe regarded as the ancient
landmarks"

dlned with one of these families was
treated to a soup so excellent that he
asked the hostess how it was done.

Grand Army of the Republic.

Senator Mitchell of Pa. has introduced in the
senate a bill to incorporate the national en-
campment of the Grand Army of the Republic.
The objects of this association, as stated in the
bill, are:
First-To preserve and strengthen the kind
and fraternal feeling which bind together SOL
diers, soilors and marines who united to sup
press the late rebellion, and to perpetuate tie
memory and history of the dead.
Second-To assist such former comrades in
arms as need help and protection, andto extend
help to the needful widows and orphans of
those who nave fallen.
Third-To maintain true allegiance to the
United States based upon paramount respect
for the fidelity to the national constitution and
laws; to discountenance whatever tends to
weaken loyalty, incites to instruction, treason
or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the
efficiency and permanecy of our free institu-
tons, and to encourage and spread universal
liberty, equal rights and justice to all men.

Bismarck in a few words effectually
disposes of mischievous rumors that are
frequently set afoat. He said in the
German parliament: "Our relations
with France are as confidential and ami
cable as with any other country. There
exists complete trust in reciprocal
treatment and in our mutual honor.
1 am pleased at having an opportunity
for mentioning this fact" About half

The Northwest News Of Portland,
Ore, brings assurance of o good harvest
in that state as follows: cit is safe to
say that the crop this fall will be one of
the largest ever harvested in this state.
With a wheat crop of Is, O0O, 900 bushels,
a wool clip of 10000, 600 pounds, alarge
hop yield and an immense fruit crop,
the Pacific northwest will rapidly over
come the effects of the short crop of last
year. This is essentially an agricul-
tural community and a good crop OF
wheat, fruit, wool and hops means good
times"

DURING THE Rebellion.
How Northern Heroes ana Southern Deau.
ties Net In the War.

The sequel of the fatal love affair of
a federal prisoner named Capt. Rapl,-
ael Livingston, who wa q prisoner in
one of the confederate prisons ut Sails
bury, N. c., during the late war, has
just come to light. During the last
year of war Livingston, through the aid
of a pretty girl, managed to effect his
escape. He was given shelter bv his
fair friend and remained in his hiding
place for q day and night. Fearing
capture by the confederate prison au-
thorities, the escaped soldier made his
way on foot through the mountains in
the western part of the state. After
many trials and much suffering he
reached Wilkes county, n of the re-
mote counties Of that section. Then he
was lucky enough to meet Miss Rose
Austin, who interested herself in him
and assisted him in eluding the con
federate officers in her neighborhood.
The handsome young captain made q
deep impression upon Miss Austin and
a mutual understanding and an en-
gagement of marriage was the result.
Miss Austin managed to render
such assistance to her lover that
he got through the southern lines and
made his way to his home in New York.
In 1867, two years after the close of the
war, Livingston returned to Wilkes
county to claim his bride. During the
intervening years Charles Bird, ayoung
farmer in the neighborhood and an old
admirer Of Miss Austin, had come be-
tween them and gained the girls affec-
tions. Soon after the young captains
temperance in Wilkes he one day
suddenly disappeared without leaving
any clue to his whereabouts. Bird and
Miss Austin were soon afterward mar
ried, and the omance of the federal Of
ticer passed out of the minds of the
Wilkes county people. 1t was revived
Wednesday night by a quarrel between
Bird and his wife, in which the latter
informed one Of the neighbors that Bird
and two other men shot and killed
Livingston and buried his body in a
piece Of woods. A negro, who is al
legged to have participated, corroborated
the wife's story. All of the accused
men were arrested and committed to
jail in Wilkes county to await On examin-
alton upon the charge. The case ut
tracts intense interest in that section,
where all are known, and where the
missing federal officer was a great
~favorite during his brief and it now APP
pears fatal visit. Mrs. Bird is now
about "a, and is still quite pretty and
of good family connections.

Just Heard of 1T.

Occasionally in the interior states,
even to this day, somewhere in the
mountains an old recluse is stumbled
upon who never heard Of the Civil Wal
OF Of Abraham Lincoln. Such anus
ing ignorance in the 'frural counties"
is perhaps still more common in other
lands than our own. An artist in q
sketching campaign around Loeb Arve,
i'll Scotland, was visited at his head
quarters on the Island of Inishail by a
good old hermit, whose information
about modern progress and modern in
ventions came "too subsequent" to do
him much good. 1t only left him dumb
with perplexity. What little news had
reached him had prompted his curiosity
enough to ask questions, but he was not
prepared for the complete facts.
"They're sayin', sir" (says old Dun
can to the artist, that Lannon's an aw-
flu big toon. Moo is it as big as Glas-
cog"
eyes, it is six times as big as Glas-

"Sax times as big as Glasco'! What a

night in the same train with the letters"

eyes; you mean the telegraph. It's
quite true. But I'm afraid I cannot
make you understand it very we'll. In
deed, nobody quite understands it.
They know enough about it to make it
out, but not enough to give all the rea-
sons for it. The news is sent, and it
really goes on wires"
AN please, Mr.. Hamerton, can it go

Eyes, very fast indeed; a great deal
faster than your letter to Mr.. Smith,
