1t is reported that the north side
roundup revealed heavier loss Of

bad, but it will have the good effect of
stimulating the larger cattlemen to
making better provision for wintering
their stock in future. 1t won't do to

VenazueIa'S Riches

The chief wealth of Venezuela
consists in products of the soil,
natural and cultivated. There are
many coffee and cacao plantations
in the mountain valleys near the
coast, and coffee to the value OF
fourteen million dollars is exported
yearly, which is double the value
of all other exports. Among the
other cultivated articles are n1anioc,
sugar, Cocoanuts, maize Qndian
corD), tobacco, wheat, cotton, in
digo, sweet potatoes and melons.
Canoes which ascend the upper
Otinoco and its branches to the
forssted region of the southwest
bring down rubber, vanilla and
tonka beans, fruits, gums and
drugs. The forests are also rich
in cabinet and dye woods, useful
fbers, from which cordage and
hammocks are made, and a variety
of other products. The deadly
arrow poison called murz by the
natives IS made in the district
south Of the OrinocO.
The central plains of the repub-
lie form a vast grazing range which
supports millions Of horned cattle,
horses and asses. These herds are
subject to great vicissitudes; they
were reduced TO a small fraction Of
their normal size by the war for in
dependence, and again by the civil
wars ending in 1868, while vast
numbers of horses and asses were
destroyed by a murrain which
broke out in I843. Their numbers
have, however, been restored, and
the stock has been improved re-
Gently. Sheep and goats are bred
in the mountainous district of the
northwest, whence goatskins
(known as Curaco KIDD are largely
exported. F. A. Fernald, in Ap-
pleton's Popular Science Monthly.

In the Heart

IF no kindly thought or word
We can give some soul to bless;
If our hands. from hour to hour,
Do no deed of gentleness;
If to lone and weary ones
We no comfort will inpart-
Though it's summer in the sky,
Yet It's winter in the heart.
If we strive to lift the gloom
From a dark and burdened life;
If we seek to lull the storm
OF our fallen brothers strife;
If we bid ali hate and scorn
From the spirit to depart
Though It's winter in the sky,
Yet tbs summer in the heart.

The Right Kind.

There seems very general Impression
abroad that Hon. J. NJ Devine, of
Lamoure county, is candidate for the
domination for lieutenant governor;
also although not so general, perhaps.
that Hon. J. S. Murphy, Of Ward counsy
is a possible aspirant for the same honor
Fhe Herald does not know that either is
candidate for that or any other place
on the ticket, but it believes the best
possible augury of republican success at
the polls this fall is the tendency among
the rank and file Of the party to turn tc
this class of men as their choice for the
state ticket. Such men the state con-
vsntion must select as standard bearers
if victory is to be assured. Men of ster.
ling integrity and worth, whose political
and public lives, chara cters and princi
piles are clean and spotless, and against
whom the bitterest enemy of republic
canism can lodge no smallest persona
criticism-Grand Forks Herald.
