THE HAZzARD CIRCULAR.

In 1862 an agent of European cap
italits sent the following 'confden-
tial' circular to American bankers.
Slavery is likely to be abolished by the
war power and chattel slavery destroyed.
This | and my European friends are in
favor of, for slavery is but the owning of
labor and carries with it the care of the
laborer, while the European plan, led on
by England, is capital control Of labor, by
controlling wages. This can be done by
controlling the money The great debt
that capitalists will see to it is made out
Of the war, must be used as a measure TO
control the volume of money. To accom-
plish this the bonds must be used as a
banking basis. We are now waiting to
get the Secretary of the Treasury to make
this recommendation to congress. 1t will
not do TO allow the "greenback,' as ii is
called, to circulate as moseyy any length
of time, for we cannot control them. But
we can control the bonds, and through
them the bank issue"

distance OF half mile, to fish. The
older ones of the party stopped on the
road to pick berries, while the little
ones went ahead to catch grasshoppers
for bait. In very short time Mr..
Waits two younger children came
running back and said Orrin was
drowned.
They had his clothes with them,
but we're so frightened they could mo-
tell how it happened. Mr.. Wait raj
to the river and dived where the boy

him. The neighbors joined in th'
search and the body was recovered

Honey Dew on Wood River.

The Wood River Times says
"Something quite remarkable, beause
unusual, has happened here this year.
The leaves of shade trees are covered
with thick, sweet, sap, known as
honey dew. This dew is 80 abundant
that it drops from the leaves on to
any plant that is in reach, covering
leaves, flowers and all with a sticky
coating that ruins them for this sea-
son. The dew is especially noticeable
on the cottonwoods, and the male
trees Of the species only. 1t has not,
80 far, been observed on the female
trees, that shed "cotton," nor the
Lombardy poplars.
"This is the first time since the
settlement of the town that this has
been observed, and it is most dsa-
greeable sight. Mosquitoes, flies and
insects innumerable get caught on
the sticky leaves, this and the dust
gives the leaves most repulsive APP
pearance. The appearance of honey
dew anywhere Is said to be a precursor
Of sickness, of germ diseases. Honey
dew in the summer, much sickness in
the fall, is common saying in mar
shy or damp localities. Whether the
saying will prove equally applicable to
our locality, in this dry mountain air,
remains to be seen
"There are some insects that seem
to consider the honey dew provided
for their especial use by a kind Prov
idence, as was mama to the famisheG
Israeites in the desert. These insects
are the honey bees. In the morning
they swarm about the trees on th,
west side of the street where thu
early sun causes the dew absorbed
e nightly to exude from the leaves
n and in the afternoon, following tn
I, rays of the orb Of the day, they aligh
Y on the trees on the east side of tn
street
n "Whenever a pedestrian accidental

Of supposed value, either he or l came
across the s'Hazzard Circular, to-

these two circulars and he gave them
to me then, and at the same time, in
replying to questions | asked him, he
said that their day Of usefulness was
over, that his friends In New York,
some bankers there, sent them to
him, that he might the better under

the miners, smelter hands and all are

tomorrow or next day. 1t is almost
impossible to learn what the calcula-
tions of the mining companies are for
the future, but it is very certain that
not much will be done until congress
settles the silver question. Hereto

to settle important questions, but il
the American congress would get tt

Hold your wheat, are the words
sent out now. The Journal of Agri-
culture Of St. Louis, treating on the
condition of the present wheat crop
and the probable advance in prices,
says the best American and European
authorities agree that the worlds de-
ficiency will be at least 100, 900, 900
bushels. The most reliable figures
now place the total American crop of
1893 at about 3s3, 900, 900 bushels
which added to the surplus carried
over, will make less than $50, 600, 600
bushels. England will want proba-
bly, 250, 900, 600 and the home trade
needs 370,O 600 bushels. The
Journal believes that in view of the
fact that the American crop is 1870,
900. 900 bushels short rs compared
with last year and as Europe with a
short crop is now grabbing up Amer
lean wheat rs fast as she can without
attracting too much attention, the
tine has come when American far
mers should not sell at present low
