wild story comes on the wires that Ex-Min-
lister Daggett is negotiating for the sale of the
Sandwich isles to the United States. Such a
transfer is scarcely possible, and perhaps it is
not worth while to treat the rumor seriously.
Still there are people who think that this coun-
try should gobble up all the struggling islands
that lie within one or two thousand miles of
the coast. What good would come of the an
nexation of the Sandwich isles it is very diff
cult to see. Their chief productions are sugar
and leprosy. BY special legislation we get the
sugar as cheap now as if we owned the islands,
and the leprOsy We do not care to naturaize at
any price. If we owned the islands we should
have to govern and protect them. CONNER
cially they would be a losing speculation and
politically they would be source of endless
trouble and expense. The islands would have
To come in as a state or territory, and would
add a very undesirable element to our already
sufficiently varied voting population.

Young ladies of the manageable age cannot
fail to have perceived, If they read the newspa-
pers, the frequency with which rejected suitors,
of late, have killed the obdurate fair one. In
this particular the fashion has greatly changed
and altogether to the advantage of males There
was time when "the dismissed bachelor went
OFF into some quiet spot and hanged himself or
blew his brains out, and hard-hearted beauties
rather plumed themselves the number of
their suicide victims. But now the case is al
tered. The Lady Clara We're de We're OF the pc
Rod had better look out for herself. Lovers go
around and shoot on slight provOcatiOn, as be-
fore, only they don't shoot themselves. Giving
the mitten has become an extra hazardous
practice, and young ladies should be very care
full how they indulge in it.

A Great Crop In Texas.

The Galveston Ncws of Monday,
edltorially comparing the crop pros.
poets OF the northwest with the ont.
look in Texas, says:
ut is not magnifying matters in
the least to say the agricultural and
pastoral products of Texas for the
present year will reach in value not
less than l25,OOO,OoO. The acreage
under cultivation this season is great
er than ever before. Splendid crops
of wheat and oats have already been
harvested, and although recent rains
have partially injured these yields,
the returns are still greater than ever
before in the history of the State. So
full is the corn yield that it is not be.
ieved it will command more than
rom twenty to twenty. FIVE cents per
'ushel. There are at least 1000, 900
lead Of fat cattle ready for export now
on on the Texas prairies, while
n the m 1r Of sheep and wool Texas
now reads California. There Is per-
haps 90 per cent. more acreage in
cotton this season than during the
great crop year Of lSsl-S2. when
over l 100000 bales were made in
Texas, and at the present time the
cotton crop prospect is almost per.
feet; this means anywhere between
100000 and 100000 bales, repre-
senting, perhaps, $SO,O0O.OO0. With
such q condition Of affairs it is not at
all surprising that the State is at
tracing more than ordinary atten'
tion, and that capital and labor are
alike interested in knowing all about
Texas"

The Louisiana Cattle Plague.

New ORLEANS. July 24.-From the
Teche country, in Western Louisiana,
reports are received Of the terrible
state of affairs prevailing in the Sec
tions infected by the cattle plague. A
trustworthy citizen heard Of one place
to-day south Of here where there are
over fifty carcasses decomposing in
about twenty-five acres. The stencil
at night is reported as being intolera.
BILE. The police jury have taken steps
to. day to destroy these carcasses. Oil
has been bought for the purpose. 1t
is said, that two gallons Of oil judi
ciousIy used will consume carcass.
A serious difficulty in the way is to
get parties to execute the work. A
large hardware dealer in this place
said to day that he had sold a mum.
Der Of gimlets to people from the
country. Upon inquiry he learned
that they were used for boring hol' 8
through the skulls Of sick horses to
let, as they expressed 1.-THE lad wa.
ter off the brain. A large stock rails.
er near the place lost very valuable
blooded mare to day. The afflicted
animals manifest the Symphonic ol
blind staggers. and die very shortly
after taking the malady. Colts and
calves are just as liable to take the
disease as older stock. The number
of csrcasses on the prairie is too mt.
merous to admit Of burying. Mr.
Joseph Jefferson lost a fine breed
stallion this week. He proposes tc
dispose Of al carcasses in his pasture;
by burning them, and has purchased
a quantity Of oil and tar for the pur
pose. A plague 80 general and fata
was never before known in this sec

The Great Forests of Puget Sound.

In Western Washington, between
the Cascade Range on the East and
the Coast, or Olympic Range IN the
West, and between the 47th aud 10th
degrees of north latitude, is thickly
tim bered belt Of fir, cedar, alder, ma.
pie, and other woods. Of these, fir
probably represents three fourths. In
the midat of this wealth of forest, ma.
ture has placed a broad, de.p arm Of
the Pacific Ocean-Puget Sound
with which it is connected b. the
Straits OF Fuca.. Thus not only has
nature provided the timber, but The

This irregular shore line forms lnnu.

for the establishment OF ship Yards
Along this whole shore line, and Ire m
thence on both sides as far as the eye
reaches, nothing can be seen ut the
vast and magnificent wealth OF tim-
ber, save here and there where man
has established mill port, town. CT
an occasional farm. In the timber
belt of Western Washington there are
20, 600, 600 acres covered with timO.r'
most of which is included within the
limits named-an area nearly equal
to the combined areas OF the States
of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vtr-
mont and New Hampshire. This TIM

lumber to the acre, or total oil 5Oo,'
100000 feet Of lumb r. Hence
the saw mills of Puget sonnd, with

French Vineyards.

A French vineyard is not in itself
picturesque sight. Walking tlronl b
it you can see little more than the
vines Immediately around you, for

porting poles. which are all about slx
feet high. Standing on height over
them you seem to be looking over a
vast gray sea, for the country is very
fat, and you see little but the gray
tops Of the poles. As the season 3D.
vances towards the vintage, the white,
chalky roads become inches deep IN
dust. All along the margins OF tie
road the vines are thickly powdered
with it, and foot passenger comes
home Looking like miller. There is
nothing very graceful either in the
vines or the grapes. The vines are
immature hop vines, and the grapes
are very small and grow so closely
together that the best way OF eating
them is to take bite out OF bunch
as you would out OF an appie-:t
your teeth are good enough. 1t 's
true you have 10 take your chance of
coming across snails and sluGs and
such small deer; but the snaiis aie
The white edible variety, such as on
NAV see in the restaurants, and the
slugs have, at all events, been nour.
ished on the vine. The picturesque.
ness of the vineyard begins with The
picking. II you live near the read
to the vineyard, you are awakened
ut dawn by the sound OF cart wheels
and the jingling Of horsee bells
probably, also, by the shouting and
the singing OF the pickers, for no
donbt old Blanc has given them sup

they start in the morniug, and they

the money. Indeed it was stated in
most of the stories Isaw that they had
paid all demands of the doctors with.

at all. But lit is nevertheless the
fact that they never contributed a
single dollar towards the payment Of
the physicians. Why? Probably be.

Purifying Drinking Water.

With the probabilities strong that

States this year, it is essential that
people should, above all other things,
Look well to the water they drink.
Ippure water causes sickness and dis.

stances; but when contagious and
deadly diseases are lurking around
the danger is then all the greater, for
