A private letter from Iowa informs us
that the prospect for crops in that State is
exceptionally promising; oats, wheat, bar
ley. rye, flax, milet and grass will be
IN excess Of the average crop. The early
oats have been cut, and within the next
ten days nearly all the small grain crops
will be ripe. Potatoes and other root
crops will be large. Corn is growing rap
idly, and as there is a large acreage there
will, without doubt, be a large yield. In
portions of Illinois, Ohio and Indiana the
crops will he poor, on account of drouth.
In view of the recent steamship disasters
with their large fatalities. most people
would undoubtedly conclude that the
number of people who lost their lives dur
Ing a year on the ocean would be very
large. but even including the victims of
the Colima disaster the total number of
lives lost on steam vessels Of the United
States during the past fiscal year was
only 36S out of AN aggregate of about
7o0000,010 passengers carried on vessels
of the character named, or an average of
about one out of 1.9Oj,0O0. Modern I'M
provements and safeguards have reduced
as we'll as railroads to a small minimum.
1t is a significant as well as instructive
story that comes from Paris concerning
Countess de Castellane, better known as
Anna Gould. 1t is announced that the
ultra exclusive set in Frances gay capital
which the countess had set her heart on
entering has formed a union against all
Fronchmcn who marry foreign women
merely for money. as well as against their
wives who marry for position. one would
suppose from this that the gay girls OF
Paris ultra fashionable set invariably
married for love, alone, whereas their pa
rents generally arrange the dot" or we'd
ding portion. However American heir
esses have received due notice and they
can blame no one but themselves if they
fail to govern themselves accordingly.
