ter. Since July 80 the weather in the
north has been cool and pleasant and
very favorable to the growing grain
Some local storms in Northern Mime
sofa and Dakota have caused the loss 81
few thousand acres of wheat, but aside
from this the condition are excellent.
Reports are still coming in that the dam
age from the hot and rainy weather
OF two weeks ago was fully as great as
noted at the time. In many sections,
particularly in the southeast, latest re-
ports are more unfavorable than those of
a week ago. The damage, which was at
that time not noticeable to any great ex-
tent, is now showing itself Many fields
which, ten days ago. looked to be un-
harmed, are now showing evidences of
blight This is true Of the entire spring
wheat belt, but the greatest damage is
confined to the late sown wheat of the
south. To sum up all reports, the con-
dition is briefly this In the southern
tier of counties in Minnesota the crop is
badly injured by blight, rust, and a two
thirds crop is about all that is expected.
Some counties will not raise more than
half as much as last year. In
western Minnesota and southwestern
Dakota the crop was too far advanced to
suffer severely, although there is consid-
cradle damage there. In north Dakota
and Minnesota the crop was not in the
proper stage TO receive great injury.
Had the hot weather come ten DAYS lat
er; the crop OF the whole northern part
Of Dakota and Minnesota would have

shows more or less damage. A letter

Gov. Hendricks Goodness.

A Congressman in talking to group Of
gentlemen a day or two ago related an Incl
dent going to show the nerve and cool cour-
age OF Vice Presidents Hendricks Sad
he: SIN the canvass of 1876 / was with
Hendricks when he spoke in town in Hi
nois. A large platform had been erected for
the accommodation of what, on such occa-
sions, are termed invited guests" 1t stood
upon the side of quite an elevation, so that
portion of the platform, perhaps half it,
was ten or fifteen feet above the ground
While Hendricks was speaking portion of
that half OF the platform nearest to the ground
fell with a crash. Fortunately it fell in u
slanting manner and nobody was hurt, but
everybody except Hendricks was scared.
The crowd started with q rush 10 that por-
sion of the platform which had not yet given
away, but for the GOODNESS of Hendricks there
would no doubt have been terrible calamity
With quick perfection of the danger and as
calmly as if nothing had happened he checked
the rush. His cool bearing enabled him to
command the crown, which was turned
aside and the men and women stepped to the
ground from the sunken platform. Then
those of US who were on the higher portion
descended, and none too soon, for the supports
under us were already giving away. Hen
bricks had part of the platform made secure
and finished his speech as if nothing unusual
had occurred"

There is an interesting incident mentioned
in the life of Charles Wesley, which led to
the writing of one of his best known hymns.
One day Mr.. Wesley was sitting by an open
window looking out on the beautiful fields
in summer time. Presently little bird fit
ting about in the sunshine attracted his at
tention. Just then hawk came sweeping
down toward the little bird. The poor thing
very much frightened was darling here and
there. trying to find some place Of refuge. In
the bright, sunny air, in the leafy trees, or
the green fields there was no hiding place
from the fierce grasp of the hawk. But see
ing the open window and the man sitting by
it, the bird in its terror flew toward it and
with beating heart aud quiverng wing
found refuge in Mr.. Wesey's bosom. He
sheltered it from the threatening danger and
saved it from a cruel death.
Mr.. Wesley was at the time suffering
severe trial and was feeling the need OF a re-
fuge in his own time of trouble as much as
the trembling little bird did that nestled in
his bosom. So he took up his pen, and
wrote the beautiful hymn,
Jesus, Saviour of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly.
While the waves of trouble roll
While the tempest still is Nigh"
