A WASHINGTON dispatch makes clear
the situation as to the new States, and
the time at which their full membership
in the Union will begin. As soon as the
official returns of the elections of Octo-
Der are received the President may is
sue his proclamation, and that viii end
the initiation ceremonies. Then the new
States will have all the rights of the orig
inal States of the Union, and their Rep
resentatives may take their places among
other members of Congress in the pre-
liminary organization of an extra session
of that body, should one be called.

THE Dakota wheat crop is 100000
bushels short of that of last year. There
is nowhere in this country crop above
the average. The foreign demand will
be unusually great. The probability is
that before Christmas American farmers
will be getting dollar bushel for what
wheat they have to sell, which is no more
than the cost of raising, with fair profit.

GRAINS OF GOLD.
Forgive any sooner than yourself.

Forgive any sooner than yourself.
He that is angry is seldom at ease.
Conscience is the chamber of justice.
A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
Don't value gem by what it is set in.
Content is the true philosophers stone.
a good word is as soon said as an i'll
one.
Constant occupation prevents tempta-
tion.
A coward never forgave. 1t is not in
his nature.
Good words cost nothing, but are worth
very much.
1t is great part of wisdom some
times to seem fool.
A handful of good life is better than
bushel of learning.
The less we parade our misfortunes the
more sympathy We command.
Drunkenness is pair of spectacles to
see the Devil and all his works.
Characters never change. Opinions
alter characters are only developed
In characters, in manners, in style, in
all things, the supreme excellence is
simplicity.
Credulity perhaps weakness almost
inseparable from eminently truthful
characters.
Commonly we say a judgment falls
upon man for something in him we
cannot abide.
A fig for intellectual eminence, if it
makes man oppress his interiors and
bully his equals.
Every man is in some sort failure to
himself. No one ever reaches the heights
to which he aspires.
There is no man so friendless but that
he can find friend sincere enough to
tell him disagreeable truths.
Good breeding is benevolence in tri-
fles, or the preference of others to our
selves in the little daily occurrences of
life.

A ASOUNDLEGAL OPINION.

E. Bainbridge Munday, Esq, County
Attorney, Clay Co., Texas, says: "Have

results; my brother was also very low with

satisfied Electric Bitters saved my life" +"
Mr.: ID. !. WilcOxson, of Horse Cave, KY,
adds like testimony, saying: He posi-
