Abundant Crops.

The outlook for the grain crop con
tinues to improve as the season adj
vances. From all quarters and con.
corning all, the reports are full of en-
couragement
Never did our wide area of farming
country presents . better appearance
than it does this July. Perhaps cotton
has suffered setback because of too
abundant rains, but in general the con-
ditions are altogether favorable to
vegetable growth, There has been \
happy succession of sun and rain. and
the fields were never richer and
healthier than they are now.
Winter wheat has passed through its
period of doubt and trial, and where 1t
has not already been harvested an
abundant crop is assured-a crop
which is likely to exceed in tie aggre-
gate any ever befo,e produced in the
United States, with one exception.
The great spring wheat region of the
northwest promises yield larger than
any in the past, for the average condi-
ton of TIE crop is high and the area
has been increased. 1t is early to fore.
cast regarding corn, but SO far the in.
dications are favorable, and the area is
much larger than last year. Scarcely
ever before was corn looking better in
the early part Of July. Oats, rye, and
barley are also all advancing to the
satisfaction of the farmers.
The people, therefore, have gooe
reason to expect continuance of Low
prices for food, and at such prices We
shall be able to export our surplus. 1
the farmers get less per bushel for thei
grain, they will have more to sell ane
to feed to their stock. Wheat at eight,
cents bushel, so long as we have
enough to dispose of at the price, is no
the terrible calamity the prophets o
evil have been predicting. Moreover
if we must meet increased competition
IN foreign markets, we have at home
market which is the best in the world
and one which is rapidly becoming
greater.
j tits, therefore, probable that as 500
as the abundant harvest is made ceI
tainty we shall begin to see q revivs
/ of trade. The improvement may b
slow, but it will be all the healthier 70

Mon. Mr. EdiIor. lifa Is bod short 70

Now, Mr.. Editor, life Is too short to

many OF our pretended friends and
advisers are there that would walt anu

Itcannot be pleasant in the absence
of the more sturdy fathers who have
to labor for daily bread for their
families. to see babies trotting With

of life, lie the equally and in come
cases, more deserving have in many
instances have TO labor to the fullest
capacity of their strength in order to
maintain an existence. ...
There are remarkable changes in
this life. Those living in ease and
opulence to-day may have their cir

that would refuse our families q

All the blessings and beauties of
existence are given for the enjoyment
of mankind, and he that would shut
the door OF opportunity against any
soul is depriving him OF that which
God has made free to all; therefore,
to withhold water from the people oil
the North Bench is to deprive them
OF their comfort and happiness.
There can be no real enjoyment in
this world without it; it softens and
moistens the atmosphere, givee life to

Editors Herald:
Much is said, various ways, con-
corning the Rock Railroad project.
For myself don't care much about
it either way, whether tits built or
act. where it runs or where 1t does
not run if 1t is built. The projectors
tried to run is across the North
Bench, but the people we're oppo ed
to 1t. 1t is now wanted to be laid,
in some shape or other, along Second
South Street, but many of the peo-
pie do not want itssthere- Well, it
can run from the mountain west
ward to the eastern edge of tha city,
and the depot may be there, 70
which there will not be so much OBJ
j action as to its stunning through the
heart of the city. Or iG may run
through heeity on one of the lower
streets, near on clio to Liberty
Park and on to the Utah Central.
There are advantages and disadyan-
tages with al ErailToads. There are
great objections to their running
through the middle of a city, with
some advantages. The great ques-
ton to fight over IL, which are the
weightiest, the advantages or the
disadvantages II don't know that
/ can decide. But more knowing
people think they can, and l am
willing to let them.

Morals in the Country.

Mr.. Scattergood told his wife the
other morning that he was going off in
to the country for a day or two. He
wanted, he said, to find some quiet
rural village where city morals and city
manners were unknown-where all was
guileless and arcadian in simplicity,
and where he would feel that he was
among good, honest, unsophisticated
people. So he took the train up the
Erie road, and in two hours alighted at
a country platform.
AS he was taking look around him,
two young natives told him to "Pull
down his vest" but paying no attention
to them he started up the street to the
hotel where he registered. AS he walk
ed into the next room to wash ne over
heard a bystander remark, "That looks
like New York "snide," and going
out on the street he was accosted by
an urchin in this manner, "Hi, Mister,
you with fried shirt on, don't you
want shine" and later as he sat down
to dinner the waiting-maid said 'he'd
given himself away" when he left the
city to come out there to stay, and by
and-by, lounger of the house gave him
twenty points and beat him at billiards,
and the result was that the next morning
Scattergood was glad to beat a retreat
for his city home, amid chorus OF
"wipe off you chin" from the bad boys
at the depot. On arriving home his
wife met him at the door, he told her
to 'wipe off her chin, ;" which she inno-
Gently did, and if he told her once to
do so, he told her about dozen times,
and she "wiped her chin off, so many
times that it actually became raw. But
at last she saw into the game he wa:
playing on her, but not until he TOLD
her to "pull down her vest" Ofcourst
she had none on, and that was how sht
detected his little game. He then sa
down and told her how she was "taker
in" at that little country town, and de-
termined he would never enter it again

Our New Minister'S wife's Bonnet.

"Well, Sophronia Ann, I'm glad
you've come. A great many things
has happened since you was here in
house-cleanin' time. You know then l
hadn't been near the Methodist Church
for nigh on to month an all Cla-
renee Center was a-laughin' an a-mak-
in fun ofour new minister's wife. How
dreadful they did talk bout that blue
velvet bonnet of her'n! At last the
women in the Church couldn't stand it
no longer; SO theywen to Miss Brown,
an they told her that the people thought
she were a-injurin and a-keepin' back
the Lords work, by a-wearin' SIGH
a wicked, worldly bonnet. An then
says Miss Brown: "Ladies, | should
like a new bonnet very much. The
blue velvet was my weddin' hat, nearly
two years ago. Since then my husband
has been so poorly paid he has not been
able to buy me anything new. So
have been obliged to wear this hat
Summer and Winter" Now Sister
Pipkin she had an old black silk apron,
just as good as new, an she said if the
others would take hold an help, she
would have SEWN bee, an make
Miss Brown decent bonnet. Ididn't
care nothin' bout the bonnet, but seein'
Miss Pipkin was a-goin' to the pains
of a-gettin' up supper l tho't I'd go
and help 'em. Well, if do say it, we
made one of the purtiest bonnets you
ever laid your eyes on. There was none
of then highfalutin' things about that
bonnet. An we sent it to her that very
night. Now in meetin' next Sunday
mornin, they all looked at Miss Browns
seat to see how the new bonnet looked
on her head, but she wasn't there.
After the prayer was over who should
they see but Miss Brown a-comin' up
the isle, holdin' her head higher than
kite. An do you suppose she had on
our new bonnet? No indeed! But
she did have on one of them new black
felt hats that come down over persons
eyes, an are all covered with black hen
feathers. 1t looked great sight wuss
than her old one. An the meanest of
of all was next mornin' when old Dyer,
the wash. woman came to do Miss Pip
kin's washin' she had on that very same
black silk bonnet that we had took SIGH
pains to make for Miss Brown.

Dutch Table Customs.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Pebu6Hcan finds the Dutch table customs
very droll, as Diedrich Knickerbocker
did before her. She dined with the FAM
ily of Professor at the Hague. As
soon as those at the table were helped
they cut up all that was on their plates,
and then putting their knives down,
leaned on the table with their left hands,
and with their forks disposed of the food
with celebrity and without interruption.
AT supper the hostess ground and cook
ed the coffee at the table, and the but
ter was taken with individual knifes out
of an earthen pot. Cheese was served
and secured in a similar manner, and
was smeared over thick slices of butter
ed bread. When the eating was finish.
ed, everybody sat still and watched the
hostess wash the dishes, which she did
at the table, using the snowiest of nap
kins, without wetting finger, while the
master pulled cigar.
