to 
our wheat than we did then. Farmers are 
feeling correspondingly happy in consequeuce. 
Oats arc the best crop that we have harvested 
for years. Other crops are good, except ap¬ 
ples, of which wc have very few. We are suf¬ 
fering from a severe drought now; pastures 
and fields are brown and bare. Wells aud 
streams are drying up. Many are waiting for 
rain, in order to sow fall wheat. Our markets 
are improving for most kinds of produce, and 
there is a ready sale for everything that farm¬ 
ers have to sell. j. k. 
Neb., Browusville, Nemaha Co., Aug. 10 — 
Noting some complaint in Rural as to size 
aud growth of Pearl Millet, I send you to-day, 
by express, a few specimen stalks from seed 
you sent me. 1 do not know whether this is 
what it ought to do or not; tint it is what it has 
doue. It was sowed broadcast, and had no 
cultivation. Advise me if this is a Jair speci¬ 
men. Robt. W. Fukmas. 
[Remark. —The package sent tous by Ex-Gov. 
Furnas contained half-a-dozeu stalks of Pearl 
Millet, about ten feet in liight. It was received 
Aug. 15. Of course, it may be cut back earlier 
in the season. The plants will continue to 
grow till frost.— Eds.]

A Word of Warning. To protect the 
public, and prevent them from being Imposed 
upon by the worthless counterfeits and Imitations 
of our Murray & LaxmanM Florida Water, we 
have prepared a paper In which the words “ Lan- 
>ian & Kemp, New York,” appear In pale letters 
when a lear of the little pamphlet Is held up to the 
light; aud whenever Florida water is offered for 
sale wrapped In a pamphlet that does not have 
this water mark or stamp in it, then it, Is counter¬ 
feit, and should be rejected.

The season for contracting that disagreeable 
and really serious disease, Catarrh, Is at hand.

positive assurances of those who have tiled It that

MISCELLANEOUS. 
Monday, September is, isto. 
in view of the const ant and frequently Just com¬ 
plaints made of the civil service of the Federal 
government, It is fair to notice the honesty and 
skill with which it often acts, The last fiscal year 
closed with every dollar collected by the agents or 
tbe internal revenue, over $100,000,000, turned Into 
the Treasury without the loss of a cent Tile 
accounts of the Sou postmasters through whom the 
four per cent certificates were sold have Just been 
closed, and it, is found that of the entire amount 
received In sums of $10 and upward not a dollar has 
been lost. Remembering the large amount Involv¬ 
ed and the large number of untried agents called 
into tills service, It was not unreasonable to expect, 
not so much that any large sum could be stolen, as 
that carelessness would lead to loss. The result Is 
gratifying. 
The congressional committee, to inquire Into the 
causes of the recent hard times, have dtsbauded 
for the present, after a trip of over a mouta at the 
West, during which they took some 10 days testi¬ 
mony in Chicago and four In San Francisco and 
examined a few witnesses at lies Moines, la. The 
depression of labor and business was not very per¬ 
ceptible anywhere on the Journey, and the farther 
west the committee traveled Hie more difficult It 
became to discover any traces of such depression. 
At Chicago there were communist socialists. A 
San Francisco the principal topic of inquiry wus 
as to the effect of Chinese Immigration. Farmers, 
tradesmen, mechanics, peddlers, miners work¬ 
men, all agreed that they could not hold their own 
against the skill, business capacity, Industry, pa¬ 
tience, endurance and frugality of the •• Chinese." 
It was with the good qualities of the Chinese that 
most fault was round. 
Dealers in butter here say that the sales made 
for exportation tilts week have been heavier than 
ever before. No actual figures have yet been 
given, but it is estimated that not less than lT5,mx> 
packages nave been disposed of; one firm hav¬ 
ing sold 10,000 packages in oue transaction for 
$05,000; and the week’s sale cannot be less than 
$500,000. The butter has beeu sold to agents of 
dealers In Great Drltarn and the Continent. The 
price has accordingly advanced from 2c. to 2; v c. 
per pound. The causes of this Increase In the 
traffic are two-fold—first, sales here, owing to low 
prices, have hitherto been unusually small and 
vast quantities ha ve beeu stored here for better 
prices, some dealers having as many os 5o,ooo and 
Go,ooo packages kept In Improvised Ice-houses con- 
structedia the upper stories of their warehouses; 
In vvlfioh the temperature has beeu kept as low as 
40 deg.,and, second, Irish, Scotch and domestic but¬ 
ter has been thrust with unusual abundance 
lately upon the English market; hitherto the 
makers have been accustomed to keep back their 
butter until they could get winter prices for It ; 
but finding that American product was pretty 
sure then to come Into competition with their own, 
they have this year forestalled our dairy product, 
and the small supply now on the British market 
gives us a profitable opening for our hoarded 
goods. 
Gen. Grant Is expected iu sail Francisco between 
next Wednesday and the following Sunday. He 
will be greeted enthusiastically by the best people 
of the Pacific Slope and several deputations of 
personal friends from the Bast. Dennis Kearney, 
a few days ago, threatened to burn lilm Ineftigy on 
the sand lots, and tills blackguardism of the foul- 
mouthed quluteseence or the foreign scum of the 
country has greatly Impaired Ills popularity even 
among the hoodlums of San Francisco, and threats 
are pretty freely uttered should he attempt 
to Insult the American representative whom 
Europe and Asia have combined to honor as no 
American has ever yet been honored, that nothing 
can save him from a merited lynching. 
Every day or two the London Times discovers 
some new article which America Is lurnlshlug to 
the ruin of English trade. The last Is machine- 
made doors. In lsiT 2 ,sou were shipped to Eng¬ 
land; lost year 45,uuo. An American trade with 
Australia has sprung up in tlnf same article, but 
the New York dealers complain that California 
has swept in the supply of that country, sending 
27,000 doors last' year while New York supplied 
but 6,ooo. By the way, a Spiiugfield Arm re¬ 
cently shipped a case of fine doors to Michigan, 
the lumber tor which came froth Indiana. Late

Cheese.—T his week has shown a very peculiar 
position of trade. The country markets were sc* 
much Higher than an advance of fully one cent per 
lb. wus thought warranted by holders here ; this 
served to restrict business for a duy or two. and left 
the situat ion somewhat nominal. Later on in the 
week, however, exporters were forced in by orders 
from the other side, where there was also an ad¬ 
vance, and ibe felt outside rates of the week now 
prevail strong, at 7 - 40 . quile general on fancy tac- 
tories. The Improvement originated with factory 
men, who in consideration of tbe Improved. quality 
of the cheese, now tnroed out would not release 
their supplies, except at more remunerative rates, 
and the limited shipments forward left chi* market 
rather poorly supplied with really choice factories. 
There is plenty of undergrade* or early made lots In
