The New York Times remarks that ag-
riculture makes garden of the earth /;
gold mining makes it waste and ruin
This has been the result in California
where the hydraulic system of mining
has filled the rivers and covered fruitful
farms with waste of barren sand and
gravel. The ''cursed thirst for gold" is
exemplified in its most revolving results
in the total wreck and destruction of one
of the fairest and most beautiful locali-
ties in the United States in the mountain
region of Northwest Georgia. Here the
picturesque hills, clothed with valuable
forests, slope in every direction to YER
dant valleys, of which the richly fertile
soil gives promise of the most abundant
recompense to the husbandman. The
clear mountain streams have been en-
shaved. and in the letters and bonds of
ponderous sluices have been forced to
wash the soil from the slopes down into
the valleys through the miners rifles"
FOR the sake of the wretched pittance of
gold it contains. The few cents thus
obtained have reduced the land to hope
less barrenness, while the money thus
obtained has been less than tenth part
of the ye,rly value of any ordinary farm
crop upon the area so destroyed. The
result thus nnhappily obtained has had
another disastrous effect in the financial
ruin of the spectators who have thus
spread waste and ruin over fair land in
their cursed thirst for riches;n while,
had the land been cleared and made into
farms, it would have beautified the face
of the country, and made it permanently
productive.

her relations, and they are fed from your

Jenny Lind is described as one of the
most active members of the College of
Music in London. Her duties as a
teacher are discharged in the most
thorough and conscientious way, as she
arrives early at her professional post, and
remains often an hour or two beyond
the required time. She is very strict, but
at the same time sympathetic with her
scholars. who in return for her devotion
to their interests are said to adore her.

The newspapers that are predicting
such a terrible castegation to Messrs.
Kelly and Doran at the hands of the
next Democratic State Convention
ought to remember that a prophet is
without honor in his own country.
Mr.. Kelly as the representative of
the Minnesota democracy on the Ma
tional committee and Mr.. Doran as
chairman OF the State Central COM
mittee have duty to perform both
to the President and to their party
here in the State. The position
they occupy entities them to receive
every cordial treatment from the au-
thorities at Washington and while
their endorsement ought not to be
and very probably is not absolutely
necessary, still when it is given it
should be, and no doubt is, considered
SUFFICIENT guarantees OF Jl1U -naoie.ey
and honesty of the applicant. The
democracy of Minnesota will hold
Mr.. Kelly and Doran to a strict &C.
countability of the trust reposed in
them, and we are free to say that
when the proper time comes they
will receive hearty endorsement at
the hands of their fellow democrats
in convention assembled.

Apparently the railroad and ware
house commissioners were not jesting
when they promised the farmers a
reform in wheat grading rules should
the facts warrant it. Under the first
rule No. l, hard required "75 per
cent. of scotch fife'' and No. 2,
hard required 80 per cent" of hard
wheat. The commissioners held a
meeting on Wednesday and amended
the rules, 1.-THE amendment to take
effect from Sept. l5th.) as follows ::
No. l, hard spring wheat shall be
sound, well cleaned and weigh not
less than ffty-eight pounds to the
measured bushel, composed mostly of
scotch fife wheat.
No. l. northern spring wheat must
be sound, we'll cleaned, weighing not
less than fifty-seven pounds to the
measured bushel, and shall be COM
posed of the hard and soft varieties
Of the wheat.
It is estimated that the new rules
will he benefit to farmers of cents
per bushel on their wheat.

The proposed railroad between this
point and Ortonville, which was sur
veyed early this season, is about to
become an accomplished fact.
Messrs. Orion, Dassel, Cliff, Shumak-
er and others. of Ortonville. who are
interested in the new road arrived in
Morris on Thursday last having driv-
en- over the entire line. Many of the
owners of property over which the
road will run have been interviewed
and the right-of-way secured. Indi-
vidual members of the village council
have expressed their willingness TO
give the new road the right.of-way
into the village over public roads and
streets. Grading will commence at
once and it is probable that the cars
will BE running over the road before
winter sets in. The distance being
short (but 80 miles) and the grading
very light. 1t is understood that the
Milwaukee road is backing this new
enterprise.
