"NAf sSths 1850.
The first part of the week was very
cool with light frosts ] n low places in
the western portion pa the Sth and
| 9th. The last half u the week was
not and dry up TO Sunday, when good
showers occurred IN Emany sections,
winch were very BENEFICIAL TO pastures
and growing crops. The heaviest
I'ralnfalls occurred oyfr the northern
and southern counties, while those
which passed over the central portion
We're generally light. Tie soil is still
extremely dry and mich rain will be
required to revive TN willing vegeta-
ton. Frost did no Serious DAMAGE
except to slightly regard the growth
of corn and potatoes in the deem
valleys. Some damage from hail is
reported in Jeifersohrounty.
Corn begins to shoE9 the effects of
the long drouth, the leaves are rolling
and growth is slow. Some fields are
beginning to tasse4 The general
condition of the corfccrop. while not
quite as promisingl as it was last
week, is still good, iand the recent
rains will probably firing it out all
right. Potatoes ares doing well con-
sidering the dry weather. Some are
being dug for home use, and il is
found there are large number in the
hills, though small size. All that
is needed to bring out an unusually
heavy crop of potatoes is good soak
ing rain.
Haying is about oxer except in the
marshes. The crop Sas been gathered
in excellent CONDITION, and though
the amount securfd is generally
light, its quality isl unusually good.
In some sections tho hay crop turned
out better than WIS expected; this
is especially the ca5 in the north
west portion, and aiding the Mississippi
where a fair yield is reported.
Rye is mostly harvested and some
in stack. The barley harvest is well
along towards completion and that
crop is in every wayISatisfactory both
in yield and Qualitys Oats are ripen-
ing very rapidly and in the southern
counties few fields have been cut.
The cat crop is Will very few excep-
tions, the heaviest lin several years,
and some correspon slentS say it was
never better. In. those localities
where the drouth began early, the
yield of small grains will be light: but
over a greater portion of the state
they are fully up to an average season.
The reports regarding pastures are
discouraging, and y here not entirely
dead are fast beCDming so, many
farmers are feeding their stock, while
large number are selling off, with
the expectation of feducing the num-
Der of cattle from TO } the usual
number. The mills supply is falling
off except in the Northern and east
ern portion where il is still fair.
Rlackherries and r4spferrl.'s are dry
ing on the bushes Tobacco is in fair
condition, but is shaking slow pro-
gress at present.
Crar berry vines sre doing well. but
the berries are going to be scarce.

We find this sensible article going
the rounds of the press: The intelli-
gent barber looks pityingly at a young
man who has just gotten a shave in
the next chair, and was taking his
departure through the door, says the
Washington Star.
Look at that gentleman's head,r
he remarked with indignant emphasis.
Every bump in the back and every
scar he ever got there in his boyhOod
is as plain as the nose on your face.
The trouble is that he had his hair
cut by some barber who doesn't know
his business.
'There are dead loads of BARRIERS"
continued the speaker, whacking his
razor on.the strop, ''who sing Johnny,
get your hair cut short, and don't
know anything else i'm their trade.
They cut away at a mans hair as long
as the combll take hold, and they
don't stop until there isn't any
more hair to cut. a barber should
never cut customers hair short
unless he is ordered to do so. Hair
should never be cut so as to disfigure
a person. A barber should be some
thing of an artist. He should feel
customers head and find out if he has
any pronounced bumps, and the hair
should be raised to see if any scars are
concealed If aitbar Of tha1a
blemishes exist the hair should be cut
so as to hide them as far as possible.
The razor should never be used, ex-
cept sparingly, on the neck. The
hair should be graduated gently from
the crown and shaded on the neck
with care and patience. IL makes me
tired to sec the work of some so-called
BARRIERS. Next"

The reform mayor of Superior, the
Reverend Mr.. Starkweather, is in
trouble and is being investigated by
the common council for corruption in
office. Considerable evidence has
been taken and the purport of it is
that Mr.. Starkweather had no sooner
donned his official robes than he
commenced To lew tribute upon all
the members of the fire and police
departments of the city, not forget:
ting the saloon-keepers and people in
more Questionable pursuits. A very
ordinary, every day politician could
not have stirred up more unsaFory
mess in so short time, and still il is
quite likely that Brother Stark
weather has from his pulpit denounced
the ways of politics and politicians
with righteous Indignation. His
friends are naturally disappointed
and the whole community disguised
with the record of the last few months.
1t has brought Superior into undesir-
able notoriety.

sion in Chicago to continue ten days
on the subject of free coinage. The
debate opened on Tuesday, but the
day was occupied by the historical
features of the question with no APP
parent advantage to either disputant.
Each one seems to be literally zap
plauded" which would go to show that
there are friends Of both theories in
attendance. The debate will settle
nothing, for each side will emerge
from it claiming victory for its cham
pion. The participants are able men
and will furnish material for lesser
guns in the political campaign next
year. That is about the only end
that the joint debate will or can sub
serve.

1t is reported from portions of the
Dakotas, where the Russian thistle
first made its appearance, that it is dy-
ing out; that, where few years ago,
gigantic plants were universal, last
year they only grew three or four
inches high. This but confirms the
theory of some Of the ablest botanists
in the country, among them Prof.
Lugger. of the Minnesota Experiment
Station, which is to the effect that the
so called Russian thistle belongs TO a
family of plants that thrive only upon
land possessing saline properties, and
when those properties are exhausted
the plant will no longer grow. The
sea coast is the only place where this
family of plants is permanent, and
while they may flourish on the new
lands of the West, which are more or
IeSsimpregnated with alkall and other
salines, for time, their duration will
be measured by that OF the salts in the
land.

We respectfully call the attention Of
our distinguished cotemporaries who
favor the single gold standard to the
fact that an ounce of silver will buy a
bushel of wheat. Two months ago
when wheat took furry they called
attention TO that fact as if to prove
that silver was in reality depreciating
in value measured by the staple
articles of commerce. How do they
explain the present coming together
again of wheat and silver? Has
silver risen? Not measured by gold
that we are aware of.
