GOOD READING.
In the July number of The Nort h j
American Review, the discussion ou the
right uses of wealth is resumed, this
time by Baron de Hirsch, the woll known
Hebrew philanthropist, who has done
and is doing so much for the poor and
oppressed of bis own ra -e. His contri
bution is not long, but the frank state
ment which he makes regarding his
plans in "My Views on Philantrpphy "
cannot fail to. command wide attention.
This article is followed by two papers, of
special interest to farmers. The first of
these is written by L. L. Polk, the Pres
ident of the Farmers' Alliance, on the
subject of "The Farmers' Discontent."
It is mainly an answer to the note and
comment of George E. Waring, Jr., in
The Review for June. Erastus Wiuian
writes spiritedly about "The Farmer on
Top." aud n i h ken some startling state
ments xncerning the exhaustion of the
' world's wheat lands and the growing de
mands for food products, . He predicts a
rosy future for the farmer, and not a very
distant future, either. Miss Emily
Faith full, famous on bot h sides of the
Atlantic for her labors in behalf of wom
en, discusses with a zeal born of knowl
edge the question of "Domestic Service
in England," in which she deals impar
tially with both mistress and maid. Ad
mirers of the late E. P. Whipple, will
turn: with interest to his posthumous es
say on "Loafing and Laboring." Mr.
Clarkson's article on "The Politician
and the Pharisee" in The Review for
May has called forth a spirited reply
from the Hon. Dorman B. Eaton, for
merly President of the National Civil
Service Commission. Professor Kichard
T. Ely, of Johns Hopkins University,
contributes a paper on "The Inheritance
of-Property." Francis B. Thurber, the
well known New York merchant,' writes
about "Industrial and Financfal Co-operation,"
dealing with distributive, co
operation and with the recent great
combination commonly known as
"trusts." "The Relations of Literature
to Society" are considered in an enter
taining way by Mrs. Amelia E. Barr,
all the attention from the social world
that they deserve. Something about
"The Art of Magic" is contributed by
that master of the art, Chevalier Herr
mann, who leaves his readers in a puz
zled state of mind before a shattered
mirror which he has succeeded in res
toring without flaw or blemish. The
last of the principal articles in this in
teresting number is from the pen of
Professor Charles A. Briggs, whose re
lations with the Union Theological Sem
inary were the subject of a great dis
cussion at the recent session of the Pres
byterian General Assembly ; aud four
teen pages are devoted to Notes and
Comments on a variety of timely topics.
SHERMAN'S COUNTY SEAT.
With its issue of the present week the
6errer bids farewell to Wasco and will
move to Moro, which place its sanguine
editor says will surely be the permanent
shire town of Sherman county after the
election next June. The move to Moro
is base upon a "fair knowledge of the
inevitable result," but the foresight of
the Observer editor will not leave Wasco
without a home paper as steps have been
taken to fill the void thus made by the
observing journalistic prophet. There
is a homely old adage about "dead
things sometimes crawling" which may
again prove true so far as . the Sherman
county seat warfare is concerned. Fore
telling now what will be done a year
hence is a long leap into the future, but
perhaps the astute editor of the Observer
is a seventh son, of a seventh eon, and
jnade his appearance into, this world of
sorrow nnder such benign planetory in
fiueuces as to give him the occult powers
of divination so far as the location of
future county seats are. concerned.
John - Boggs, a prominent, farmer of
Colusa county, California,: gives his
views of the profits of wheat-farming,
They are applicable in Oregon as else
where. "People.saythereis.no money
in wheat-growing in this state. I have
been raising wheat in California for
forty years, and I have always made
money at it and expect to do . so . this
year and other years to come. With me
wheat growing is a business I am sim
ply a farmer. .One reason, why I can
make money where other people-fail is
because I raise on my own place almost
everything; we use in the way of food.
I do not now remember of ever, having
seen a butcher's wagon, or vegetable
peddler on my farm. I feed eighty men
the year around, and they live as well as
three-quarters of the people in the state.
The wheat crop in. California will be
heavy this year and prices will be high.
,1$ inay.be trn that the yield of an acre
;iu fruit equals that of tea acres of grain,
ljut .'pjir .great wheat fields will notibe
.'trail 8 totaled intd'orcharda'in one year or
in twenty. I believe, that California's
greatest industry will ult'mately be her
orchards, but I am sure that men who
know how to .farm, can make, money,
wherever wheat will grow and as long as
people eat bread.
An item ,is going the rounds of the
press to the effect that a young working
man in Dubuque, Iowa, bought a colored
shirt. . In tearing off the tag he, discov
ered a note therein requesting the pur
chaser to correspond with the maker of
the shirt in New Jersey.. manufacturing
town. She.. said she ..was ; working . for
starvation wages, and .hoped t to , find a
home and a husband, - when she -would
be happy. He wrote to her, and was
pleased with her replies, went to New
Jersey and married her. Three weeks
after, they were united for life Bhe re
ceived a letter from England; the home
of her ancestors, containing a draft for
$5,000 and a notification of the fact that
she was sole heir to a fortune of over
$750,000.
The Portland Telegram has this to say
with regard to the homestead law : "'"Its
passage is not only the proper thing, bu'i
it is absolutely the necessary ' thing if
Oregon expects to compete with her sis
ter states for immigration. It is not
true that a homest-ead law. is a refuge
for rascals to escape paying their debts.
If a man is disposed to be dishonest he
will find devices enough to cheat his
creditors. The object of the homestead
law is to guarantee the 'citizen a protec
tion againt misfortune."
. A mathematician has figured out that
a man can travel fifteen miles on a bicy
cle with less exertion than he uses in
walking three miles. This is comforting
to bicyclists, but we'have noticed that
ome men can walk . fifteen miles with
less exertion than they would use in rid
ing a bicycle five miles. ' In fact, an ob
serving man cau- notice almost anything

The Body of at Young Woman Found Forty
Years After Her DirappsanHiUi
Mary Ann Grier disappeared -Inm he
father's home, two miles soiith of Michigan
City, nearly forty years ago. .-A few days
ago ber body was recover' in,- iff tban-j
aonea oog iron ore-preywrenoui ope eur,ig

known in life. I'fie-trtat rsBrettftf fclothlns
was long ago destroyed' fey tbe 'actiort ' fof
the water in which she had'rnet her Uea4h,'
but the same chemicals which removed tie.
Not only is the contour of the form per
fect as in life, but the color has remained
unchanged. " The' arms and shoulders are
as white as marble, the hands are brown,
but srtffused. with a ruddy flush which old
settlers here wilt remember as one of the
-. girl's chief charms, and. were it not for the
unsightly cavities that once contained the
etes, that1 petrified frame which- has lain
almost half a century in the soil would ap
pear the peacefully sleeping figure of a
healthy, handsome young woman. '' '
The story of Mary Ann Grier is easily
told. In the first place, itshould he known
that this country is full of a kind of iron
called bog ore.' ' ' In an early day it was ex
tensively mined by the farmers and hauled
by them to Michigan City aud South
Bend, where it commanded a ready sale. .
In many instances it was the one product
of the soil which brought in money.
The iron is in small part icles, much like
the ore from larger mines, and is excellent
in quality, though not rich enongh in
quantity to repay the trouble of -mining it
since the day of railroads and the develop
ment of Pennsylvania mines. None of the
ore has been, taken from these swamps
since' 1830, although ' the swamp lands all
over northern Indiana are full of it.
Mary Grier was the eldest daughter of
Nicholas Grier, and was a belle in those
old days of 1845 to 1350. She was famous
all over the country, which was then new
and. sparsely settled, and was sought in
marriage by many an excellent young
man. Bhe was Known as a worker, as a
good cook and, as a famous housekeeper-.
and besides had had the unusual advan
tage of a fair English education.
With the perversity.of her sex she had
chosen a harebrained fellow named Whit
sel, and had told ber parents she meant to
marry nun. w birsel owned an ox team
and made a living hauling ore from the
shallow mines to the. forte at-Michigan
City. He was warned away from the farm
by Grier and his boys, but persisted in his
attentions, and -finally received a sound
drubbing from the old man. '''.'.
The following day he started north with
a load of pro, and early in. the evening
Mary left the house, saying that she was'
going to a neighbor to return some trifle
she had borrowed the day before. She was
never again seen in life. V . -
Her parents and the neighbors believed
that Whitsel had decoyed her away, and
they followed him clear to Michigan City;
but they could find no trace of the girl.
Fearing ' to return to the neighborhood
Whitsel sold his oxen and left the country.
He has never; since been ' heard from. - It
was known at the time that Mary Ann had
never reached the- ,h.nie :of ;,the ;neiKhborr
fav whicli k'he had atartjarl.
- In the lightof events' now known "it ifP,

started across the lower prairie land to'
meet him hear the creek road. She must
have fallen into one of the pits- from which
the ore had - been taken, drawing .down
upon her as she fell an avalanche of the
loose but terribly heavy soil. There must
have been water in this pit, as was almost
invariably the case, and this, with the iron,
must have produced a solution that tended
to preserve the body. Cor. St.-; Louis

. -' Electricity Produced by fVater.
The paper mill at Moutier, in the depart
ment of Isere, France, is an interesting ob
ject of the application of electrical machin
ery. .The power is derived front the Dome
non, a stream flowing into the Iaere. - The
available fall is 230 feet, the water being
led to the turbine house in a conduit of
steel plate 760 yards long. The available
energy amounts : to a maximum of 800
horse power. The dynamos generating the
current revolve at 240 turns per minute,
and those which are actuated by it in the
mill at 300, giving out a maximum of horse
power. The length of the line is three
miles, and its resistance (including dyna
mos) 6.8 ohms.
The winter of 1889-90 was so severe that
all wheeled traffic was impossible for four
months; but in spite of the constant ice
and snow which covered the wires and in
sulators, the current was never inter
rupted for a moment, nor have the thun
der storms; in summer caused any injury
or interruption.. There is a telephone wire
carried on the same posts as' the conduct
or, which enables the necessary . commu
nications to be kept up. The machines
work night and day and require only four
attendants, two at the generating . station
and- two at' the receiving' station. New

Darwin and His Children.
His son Francis states that he does not
remember ever hearing his father speak an
angry word, yet the children never thought
of disobeying him. "f 'well remember. "
says his sou, "one occasion when my father
reproved me for a piece of carelessness;
and I can still recall the depression which
came over me, and the care which he took
to disperse it by speaking to me soon after
ward with especial kindness. ;
"He kept up his delightful, affectionate
manner toward us all his life.'" I some
times wonder that . he could do so, with
such an undemonstrative race as we are;
but I hope he knew bow much we delight
ed in his loving words and manner.
- "How 'often,- when a man, I have wished
when, my father was behind my chair, that
he would pass bis hand over my hair, as he
used to do when I was a boy. He allowed
his grown np children to laugh with and
at him, and was, generally speaking, on
terms of perfect equality with us." Hold
