 The litrie republic of San Marine is in. closed in the kingdom of Italy.
 San Marino owes its foundation to a hermit of that name, born in DAlmasia in the fourth century, and who went to Italy to work as . mason at the rebuild. ing of the walls of Rimini.
 It's territory covers about tweuty.two square m;ies

head of an influential newspaper like
the MERCHANT" which circulates far
and wide as an authority upon all
matters relating to viticufture and
wine-making. Our defense, there
fore, is not confined to the limited
range of the Pacific Coast, but is
made to intelligent readers in all
parts of the world.
We are pleased to note, from the

circulation doubled during the single
year of Mr.. Buckland's management
and direction. 1t deserves a very
prosperous career, and we trust that

PUBLIC OPINION ON THE SPRECKELS
CASE.

The San Francisco Merchant, in an
article on the Spreckels case, analyses
the Press opinion of the State, as
quoted by the Chronicle, and finds
that only Is per cent. of the California
press supports De Young, the remain
ing IS per cent. being against him.
The bulk of the papers on the Coast
which have come out in condemna-
ton of the verdict are certainly small
and insignificant sheets. The aggre-
gate circulation of the fifty-nine
papers quoted by the Chronicle is
10000 out of population of one mil
lion in the State. Granting that
every paper represents the opinions
of its subscribers, the Merchant argues
that there are bat sixty thousand
people in the entire State who APP
prove of the Chronicles actions with
regard to- the Spreckels family and
the Hawaiian treaty. This is terse
and striking way of stating what APP
pears to be the facts. The San Fran
cisco papers, outside the ArgOnaUt
Anu wasp, nave nOG IuuCA SO say OH
the subject, but their sentiments are
very well known. The Chronicle and
Arq0naut attribute this to business
rivalry, and the latter goes the length
of saying that the jury was bought.
There does not appear to be any
foundation for such a charge, and it
may be dismissed as groundless. The
paper in which it appeared is addicted
to making reckless charges, and is
generally believed to be retained in
the interest of a great corporation
which, for reasons of its own, is not
friendly TO the sugar interests of these
islands. The opposition of the ChrO1a-
icLe is easily understood, but without
pointer that of the Argopout might
be supposed to be based upon prin-
ciple. Such is not the case, however.
The guiding spirit OF that publication
is far too astute and self-seeking to
trouble himself with anything which
does not pay. That is his conception
of newspaper work, and he acts up to
his ideal.

A STOUT DEFENDER.

The San Francisco tMerchant'' is a
stout defender of Hawaiian interests.
Its issue of July 18th contains lucid
statement of the labor problem in
these Islands, as illustrated by the
complaints from dissatisfied Germans
and others, which were ventilated
first in our Courts and subsequently
by the San Francisco Chronicle"
The editor of our contemporary, Mr..
G. r. auckland, writes with knowl-
edge, he having been resident of
Honolulu engaged in journalistic
work during the legal proceedings in
question. 1t is fortunate that gen.

AMERICAN HARVEST OUTLOOK.

The June report issued by the Ag-
ricultural Bureau, Washington, was
more favorable than the May report.
The winter wheat region promised a
crop of 25O,OOO,OOO bushels. The
spring wheat States are expected to
average 148, 900, 900 bushels, making
total wheat yield for the harvest of
1885 of 1916, 900, 900 bushels. The corn
area of last year, then considered phe-
nominally large, has been increased
per cent, making an addition to the
area in corn this season of 1000, 900
acres. There are 100000 acres in
corn in the United States. The state
ment of these figures alone illustrates
the enormous resources of the cOun-
try. The condition of the corn crop
is higher than it has been any season
since 1880. 1t averages Cd against an
average of IS in 1883. Winter rye
averages 81; oats average SO; barley
90, and tobacco SO. It follows there
fore that the outlook for the harvest
is of the most promising character.
There will be large food surplus for
export, and should war between
England and Russia really take
place, locking up the Russian ports
and creating a home demand for In
dian wheat, prices will rule higher.
Taken as a whole, 1885 must be re-
garded good year for American
farmers.

n. p. Willis.


Mr.. r. A. Beers has just published biog-
raphy of Nathaniel Parker Willis. A critic
saws of it: willis was neither great poet
nor a great prose writer; but it should be re-
ntembered to his credit that he never affected
to be one or the other, and that the utmost
bound of his pretensionS was to pose for his
short hour as a rather horid counterpart of
Goldsmith, a sort of transatlantic Leigh
Hunt" The son and grandson OF Door
printers, he was educated at Yale He is
likely to be known longer by some of his
early poems, which convey his juvenile re
ligious impressions, than by any of his ma
turer work.
10 many persons n. P. Willis will ALWAYS
be an interesting figure, not as much for the
value of any literary bequeSt as for the fact
that he was genuine soldier of the pen who

[OrfginalI
As in the bosom of a prairie rose
The honey bee is found in snug repose,
An infant slumbered in its dainty bed,
With sillken draperies above its head.
From realms celestial came its spotless soul,
To bask in sunshine, or to weep with dole;
The fates about him flung their silent power
Within the shadow of the twilight hour.
Joy left sunbeam on the downy head;
Love whispered: "When the years have fed
I'll come again, with fiery dart,
To storm the bastion of your manly heart.
In cruelty, Hope passed the infant by,
While Beauty, Pride and Grace were drawing
nigh;
But Melancholy kissed him DER and DER,
And left his soul in shadow evermore
