The San I'Vancisco Journal of
Cotmnerce f ays : Though ' we have
not had s nuch lain a in 1S80 or
1S81, aatal ly the latter, e have
had it cnuie iu a hotter time than
iluiinar the latter year. The soil, so
far aaeropu are ooneerned, has bene
fited mote by it than it did a year
a;o. We have had no devaslatinj
Uomls to drown out the dwellers on
the lower Sacramento anil San Joa
quin, and to ruin their crops. T'jese
islands will produce abundantly be
yond all precedent. The San Joa
quin valley acre for acre will not be
anything behind 18S0, while all
over the Slate the acreage is much
more than it wns I ben. We may
tfacti expert a much larjjer yield ui
wheat and bailey, at least r0,000,000
hushels nifsre of the f'o.mer.
Prices have been pretty steady
fir the past m mth or so, and in the
lace of a gTcrrt harvest, and they
will probably remain steady after the
usual dii line cont'tlgent on the near
approach of I he new grain to market.
In England t is thought that bed
rock has lui'ii i cached, and, indeed,
the recent advance iu Live! pool
seems to predict asr much. We look
therefore, for a steady market. The
wheat crop will be worih, at a low
calculation, $00,000,000 'he highest
value ever placid on a wheat crop
in this or any other State iu the
Union.
Our gold placers yield steadily
along about the same quantity of the
precious metal; bui the rains an-.i
melting snows of this year render
the situation more favorable than for
many years past.
The total value of our products
and itianufacturies this year will not
be less than $190,000,000, a jump of
$20,008,000 from last year. This
will help wonderfully and will be re
invested iu new enterprises and new
industries which will be themselves
reproductive.
Tbe Population at Uan.
It will don lt less surpris most
people to learn that nearly two-thirds
at the population of Utah was bom
iu it: at territory, but such is the fact
according to a census bulletin, just
issued. Out of a total population of
144,000 no less than 81,000 are set
down as natives of Utah, while an
other 20,000 were born iu diflercut
states of the Union, New York, Illi
nois, Pennsylvania, Lwa and Mis
souri lumishing the largest quotas
and in the order mentioned. Of I he
44,000 of foreign birth England
furnishes nearly 20,000; Denmark,
nearly 8,000; Sweedi-n and Norway,
nearly 5,000; Scotland, 3,200; Wales,
2.400; Ireland, 1,300; Switzerland,
1,000; while the German Empire has
but 885. Doubtless the bulk of the
Utah horn population consists of
minors, and it will be rather curious
io note the classification according
to age when it is made. Weekly

And at it she went, beginning

It is stated by the same rfotority
that "the estimate of Maryland must

in his "Mil tary History of Ulysus

that May 30, the last organized rebel
force disappeared from the territory
of the United states. Every man
who had borne arms against 'the
Government was a prisoner. One

A Curious Baryiu? Ground.
Near Opotiki, in New Zealand, was
blown down some mouths ago an en
ormous tree, believed to be many
hundred years old, in which were
piles of human bones. The interior
was hollow, and f om the roots to
the first branch the great tree meas
urt-d forty five feet. Within this
spac were packed the bones, which,
as the tree struck the ground, were
scattered about in ghastly contusion.
Some of the skeletons were nearly
perfect, while others appeared to
have existed iu the tree in a chaotic
mass of heads, hands feet and arms.
AU the Maoris of the neighborhood
appe&r to have been ignorant of the
existence of this strange burial spot,
a'nd declare that it must have been
used long before the time of their
fathers. Astorian.
Poor Jones.
There was an interesting event in
the family of Jones a mouth ago at
Oil City, aud one day last week
Jones told lite furniture man to take
a cradle to his house. On the same
day this order was given a wedding
took place iu the house adjoining
Jones residence, and it was just as
the assembled friends were congratu
lating the happy couple that the
furniture man, who had mistaken
the uumher, deposited the cradle in
the middle of the room, and said:
"Mr. Jones sent this up, and he told
me to hurry, tor he thought you'd
be needing it." Since that eventful
day, Mr. Jones has been obliged to
enter his house by the back alley to
escape a wrathful youth next door,
who is watching for him with a
loaded shotgun.
Jnvrslie TJortallty .
One of t lie most mysterious phe
nomena of human existence is the
large percentage of mortality among
young children. A fearful propor
tion oi the deaths everywhere are
those of persons who have just be
gnn to live. Even when due allow
ance is made for faults of nursing and
training, it appears hardly possible
that any improvement can offset the
inherited waknes from which so
many children sufl'er, and, as yet,
science has taught little concerning
those epidemics which find the ma
jority of their victims among the
little ones. Still, intelligent care and
favorable surroundings can de much.
The English statistics, much more
lull and accurate than those of our
own country, Jshow that in the rural
countries the mortality of chi dren
under five years of age does not ex
ceed, and often fails below, forty in
the thousand. In fhe cities and
towns the average 'is -much greater,
ranging from about . fifty nine in the
thousand, in Portsmouth, to over
ninety-five- in Birmingham and
Rates of ivrti(sm $
MADE ItT&yWT&Cfot
Sheffield, and to over one hundred'
and three in LVerpool. In nineteen3
large towns, containing an ngg eata
of a million and nearly twenty font"
thousand children, the deaths" for a
year from their number were 82,250.
This is a fearful number, and noj
doubt the figures were increased
through causes which might have"
been avoided. Si ill. had everything
been done, the little victims must'
have been counted by myriads. As"
things are, it is probable that in very
many cases continued life would not '
have been a blessing, but th-3 quaint
old epitaph,
"So soon was T done for,
I wonder what I was bejrun for,"
will nevertheless suggest itself. Ct7-

Starting; a Paper on Check.
Dining the past year several indi '
vidiials publishing obscure and welt'
nigh worthless sheets and others de "
signing to start such, have written'
to persons of note in' thceditoiial
fVaterniiy,- soliciting free contribu
tions. In response to such an appli-
cation the following reply was sent
by Bill Nye:
"Your favor of the 27ih inst. is re
ceived. It was a glad surprise to me"
because I had been asked to contrib
ute a facetious article to a p:iper only
250 times since the annual holiday
business began to boomi I have es- '
limated that in case I had complied
with all these suggtslions I would'
have written $3000 worth of gurg
ling mirth within four weeks. I
could not have Worried through it'
without having ground out at least"
ten columns per day. When yon'
seme to add my other duties youf
will readily see that the exercise
would at limes be irksome. I am' the "
managing editor of a d:.ity paper
that requires at least eight hours af
day. I am also a police justice,"
with an average of five plain, undec
orated drunks and twO assault and' ..
batteries per day. I am also United"
States commissioner and member of
the vesiiy of St. Mathew's Church."
"By the time I get up a'nd cook'
my breakfast and do the housework
and bring in some coal and do some
marketing and feed the hens and"
deal out $i 1 worth of justice and'
write a leader or two and read a few
proofs and do the chores around' thft '
office and lick a few total strangers'
and get my dinner and attend a ves
try meeting and write ten or twelve
columns of side-splitting mirth on the
half sheet and go home and hold the"
baliy a couple of hours, breakfast is'
ready, and I don't have to go to bed"
at all. This saves the wear niid tear
of a night shirt and keeps a man out
of mischief.
"If you think this letter will throw
any light on the sub' ect you are at
liberty to use it. It may do a great'
deal of good. Bill IS xs.
Planting Potatoes.
As planting potatoes will soon be"
iu order, the Kentucky method of'
saving see'd and planting may not
prove an uninteresting recital. Po
tatoes designed for seed' are dug
about the middle of July, cut and1
immediately planted again. They
are slow iu making their appearance
a second time, but when dug about
the middle of October, the potatoes"
will be found to JbaVe attained the"
size of hens' eggs. This crop will1
not sprout until planted, and only
one eye to a piece will grow of
ibis seed. The single sprout thus"
gets al! the strength of the potato
and is very large, and makes a most
heahhy stalk. This svring planting"
wif bring eatable potatoes some two
weeks earlier than ordinary seed."
T is means of obtaining seed in-"
voire an extra planting and digging, -the
gain being made in forciniz early
maturity of the crop to escape the
drouth, which last is now not nn-"
