Croaking About the Wheat Crop.
Just now is the time to look out for
sensational reports about the “failure
cf the wheat crop.” The wheat crop,
however, it is well to remember, always
begins to fail (on paper) at this season
of the year, but somehow or other the
crop ultimately turns out all right.
Nature thus is kinder to us tnan
Madame Rumor. It is an old proverb
that the peach crop usually begins to
“fail ” during March, long before the
buds are in blossom ; but as the peach
crop, nevertheless, almost always turns
out an average, the proverb loses its
point.
We are led to these remarks by a
statement we see in the San Francisco
journals, of the 18th, that telegraphic
dispatches had been received there
from New York inquiring about the
condition of the wheat ciop of Cali
fornia, and represented that it was
rumored there that it was a complete
failure, naturally creating a great deal
v! excitement among dealers. There
was no gi ound whatever for the appre
hensions. The fact is, the latest re
ports Irom the interior are, on the
whole, favorable for a fair crop. With
moderate rams during the present
month and the beginning of April
there is every reason to expect the har
dest of this year will greatly exc.ed
that of any previous cue.
As of California, so of some of the
great wheat - raising sections of the
northwest. Toe cry is already heard
that the severe cold of tbe past three
months is going to “kill oil the winter
wheat.” But the cry is without reason
thus far. There are no signs of killing
anywhere. Besides it should be r. mem
bered, it is not always the coldest
weather that is most fatal to winter
wheat. Extreme variations in tempera
ture are worse than severe cold. Fall
.crops are winter-kilied by alternate
'jtreezng and thawing of the surface in
which the young plants have taken root,
'•which is equivalent to the removal irom
thiir beds, an! transplanting, as often
as a marked change takes place. Most
farmers agree that two or three alter
nate thaws and freezes during the win
te - would be more surely destructive
to the crop of winter wheat than con
stant cold, even if as extreme as that of
the past winter.— N. Y. Bulletin,
A Speck of War on the Mexican Border
From our Rio Grande exchanges, as
well as from our correspondence, it
jjfbpears that no little excitement
exists at present along the line of
that river. Armed men in large bands
are making their appearance on Ameri
can soil, and for what purpose is thns
fat mere conjecture. The military at
Ringgold and Brownsville hold them
selves in readiness to operate at a mo
ments notice against the intruders, but
up to our latest advices no cause has
been given them for so doing. Inhab-
along the river feel greatly con
cerned, and trouble is anticipated. To
us it appears as a desperate resolve on
the part of the Mexican people to in
volve th United States and Mexico in
a war, and the sooner they succeed the
better it will be for the peace and quiet
of both countries. Bad blood exists
and its fiery heat must be cooled. Out
rages perpetrated upon the Mexicans
by Americans, anu vice versa, have so
prejudiced the races and engendered
bad feeling that scarcely any salve will
prove healing but a resort to arms.
Even if it does not extend beyond a
second Cortina war, it must come sooner
later, and let every one be prepared,

Meteoric Stones
j One of the most rational theories,
phased upon chemical and physical data,
'yet propounded concerning the nature
and origin of meteoric stones, is that
which attributes the light emitted from
such bodies not to incandescence, but
to electricity or some other cause.
This theory also asserts that the noise
attending their fall is not that arising
from the explosion of a solid, but that
it is by concussion of the atmosphere,
arising from the rapid motion of the
body through it, or in part due to the
eieoiric discharge ; that meteoric show-
are not the results of fragments
from the rupture of one solid body, but
‘the separation of small and distinct
aerolites that have entered our atmos
in groups; and, finally, that the
igSK coating is not of atmospheric
but is already formed when
These bodies enter our atmosphere—the
fact being well known, in respect to the
latter, that observers at a distance often
see these bodies in a luminous state,
while those located where they fall do
not perceive this luminosity.
Keno Not Correct in Nevada.
Nevada legislature has adjourned
IP row, aftar a session chiefly dis-
Roguished by the election of Sharon,
who has many more millions than
Jones, to tbe United States senate, and
the passage of what is called the anti
gambliug bill, this measure having
been the cause of more excitement than
any other business transacted. To
show what is considered an anti-gam
bling bill in Nevada, we may explain
that the one in question, as really
passed, provided for a quarterly tax of
8100 on faro games, and S3OO on keno
aiidf all other banking games. In
counties with a population of 1,500,
ST Jfess, the quarterly fax was fixed at
8251), while gaming was reslric'ed in all
of ti e state to back rooms, when
m tgle first floor. Bat, by some unex
plained hocus poens, the bill, as certi
fied bv the officers of both houses and
signed by the governor, taxes ail games
S4OO per quarter, with no redaction in
thinly populated eounties. This is
Renounced as unjust discrimination,
Mite the keno capitalist complain that,

Hction aft' ided in the original bill ii

Utopias.
While Mr. Ruskin, in England, is con
tributing practical good money towards
the establishment of an impractical in
dustrial Utopia, where the steam engine
is to be ignored, the railroat. banished
forever, and “none wretched but the
sick, none idle but the dead,” a Mr.
Lauson, also of Eagland, has published
a book entitled “Ten Years of Gentle
man Farming at Blennerhasset with
Co-operative Objects,” in whieh he
gives an account of his remarkable and
costly experiment of farming with the
aid of steam ploughs and all other ap
pliances of machinery, together with
ideas both of scientific agricultural ex
periments and full co-operation of cap
ital and labor. His experiment, he con
fesses, was a'failure, and has resulted
in sinking thousands of pounds and the
absolute abandonment of the enter
prise.
Nor are we without instances in our
own country of various attempts, with
various degrees of success or failure,
to construct industrial associations
which, in comparison with the general
condition of life, would be denominated
Utopias. Mr. Notdboff has recently
published a volume of over four hnn
pred pages, concerning the existing
communities in the Unittd States, and
included in the volume a biography > S
the subject as an aid for those of hif
readers who would desire to further
prosecute its study. His conclusions,
on the whole, are favorable, and yet
Valcour—the latest experiment of the
kind—has come to an untimely end,
and broken up in a most prosaic lawsuit,
in which charges of quite worldly dis
honesty in money matters are made by
both sides.
That Utopias have their use, though
they are never practically realized, no
one will doubt to whom the study of
the method of progress is a subject of
interest. As Comte says, in his “Phil
osophy Positive,” “ Utopias are for so
cial art, properly so called, what geo
metrical and mechanical types are
towards their corresponding arts. Be
ing recognized as indispensable, in the
least constiuction, how shall we avoid
their use in the most difficult ? Thus,
despite the empirical condition of pol
itics, very great change is preceded by
a century or two of an analogous
Utopia, inspired by the (esthetic genius
of mankind, by a confused instinct of
its situation and its needs.”
Now, too, that the scientific move
ment of modern Society has, in the
person of Professor Tyndall, justified
its Utopias of theory under the phrase,
the scientific use of the imagination, we
may safely predict in all departments
of investigation an era of Utopias as a
prelude to the practical changes which
every one in some manner would claim
to be necessary.
The recognized laws of chemistry to
day surpass the wildest Utopias dreamed
of by the alchemists, and though iu
their discovery the scientific use of the
imagination played an important role,
let us remember that it was imagina
tion in the hands of science. The very
definition of Utopia is, from etymology,
that which as yet exists nowhere ; aa
soon, then, as it does exist it ceases to
be Utopia.
Hebbauistic Remedies.— ln former
days, if a member of the household
became indisposed, the family-head,
under instructions from the gray
haired dame, went to the forest or the
field, to gather herbs or berries, from
which were quickly made invigorating
extracts, which ere many days brought
the patient safely around, and saw the
family gathering once more without a
missing member. How is it now?
The slightest indisposition brings the
“family physician,” with his hand
some carriage. He feels the pulse,
examines the tongue, looks very grave,
writes a few lines of hieroglyphics,
charges a big fe,e, and leaves, only to
return the next day and find his
patient mercurialized sufficiently to be
really sick. A week or two of attend
ance follows, and therein lies the se
cret of “wealthy physicians ” Com
pare the physique of the present age
with the past, and tbe story is com
plete -liscard chemicals and
try herbs. If yon are ill, try tbe great
herbalistic remedy, Dr. J. Walker’s
Vinegar Bitters.
The conspicuous triumph of Messrs.
George Steek & Cos., of New York, at
the Vienna World’s Fair in 1873, at
which their pianos obtained the highest
award—the only gold medal—has begun
to yield them substantial fruits. The
increased popularity of the Steck in
struments is noticeable not only in New
York, where their excellence has long
been acknowledged, but throughout the
country, and more especially in those
commimilies that lay special claim to a
cultivated musical taste. —New York

Pimples, Krtipfions. Hough Skin.
The evHtem being put under the influence
of Dr. Pierce’e Golden Medical Discovery for
a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear,
soft, and velvety, and being illuminated with
the glow of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all its glory. The ef
fects of these medicines which operate upon
the system through the medium of the blood
are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how
good the remedy employed. While one to
three bottles clear the skin of pimples,
blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones,
or “grubs,” a dozen may possibly be required
to cure some canes where the system is rotten
with scrofulous or virulent blood poisons. The
cure of all these diseases, however, from the
common pimple to the worst scrofula is, with
tbe use of this most potent agent, only a mat
ter of time. Sold by dealers in medicines.

Dear Sir —l am sixty years of age. and have

Bronchitis or Chronic Sore Throat.
—lt is attonded with irritation of the bronchial
tubes, which convey the air wo breathe into

lected it will extend down to the lungs, and
settles into confirmed consumption. Allen’s
Lung Balsam will bo found a most valuable
remedy for curing this disease, and prevent
