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, ■fcrpti.; Christi Gazette. 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, Mpriv ng them of the incidental pro- | Hction aft' ided in the original bill ii Birthing but correct. | Torso fellow, if you have been fuming up another man’s fuel and Hud oil all winter, without yet arriving BP a definite understanding with hi* Birl, von may expect to be chalked down [as a light and pithless fraud, and may look to have the scathing finger of Lcorn and the blacK muzzle of a bnll rdog pointed at von if yon attempt to f take up your swing on the gate where Lyots left off last fall. 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 Independent. 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. COVERED WITH ERUPTIONS. CURED. Claveback. Columbia county, N. Y. Dr. It. V.
