In relation to the Advance of freights East previously reported As to take place on september 10, the Only effect will be to cause Western Farmers who can to hold their surplus Grain. They will not pay out All their profits in freights. It is a significant fact in tin s connection thai notwithstanding the general failure of crops in Europe and especially in land prices do not materially. Advance and this for reasons started last week. If freights Advance materially Between Chi Bago and the East hold their Grain. The Prairie Fanner will advise them to do so and from the Siipple fact if from no other that to for Ward in great masses this tall will surely depress the Market below a living rate to the producer from the glut that naturally ensues by throwing on the markets than they can legitimately Bear. This speculators will not be slow to take advantage of. Last season in View of the great crop of wheat we advised Farmers not to be in a hurry to Force the Market. That All the wheat would be wanted. This advice seems generally j to have been taken and the result was the wheat came Forward As wanted Pri Ces _ were maintained Aud our surplus Grain was All taken at fair prices. So it will be this season. All the Giuin the United states have to spare is wanted in Europe. If it is Flung on the Market As fast As trains and shipping fleets can carry it the Market must be temporarily broken. If it is sent Forward regular to however generously to meet the legitimate demand the producer Aud riot the Speculator will be the Grainer. Our advice therefore is to watch the Market a lion Tho Price suits Aud leaves a fair margin of profit. In this connection it May not be out of place to reiterate what we have heretofore stated that there is a failure of the wheat crop in Europe with the exception of Southern France there the crops Are Good but this is Only a trac Tion and a Small one in the production of the njord. What we said last weak As to facilities for transportation is pretty Well understood. If a commodity is granted there is some portion of the Earth that can produce it. Last year and this so far As wheat is concerned it is the United states. The in Mars of the West will be Wise if they can so time the marketing last sunday., has been the subject of Gen eral comment. There Are Many men in this City who went through those fearful scenes and in whose breasts the fervid words of the narrative wakened memories that have for years been smothered by he hum and Bustle of the capt. James English of this City is the Man was received the first note of the correspond Euce Between Gen. Grant and Gen. Lee that resulted in the. Surrender. It came about on the night of the 7th of april. Capt. English was commanding a company in the second Georgia Battal Ion in Wright s Georgia brigade. This brigade had been engaged All the afternoon in a heavy fight with Miles division and had captured about prisoners. The men were feeling pretty Good Over it. Their lines were resting near High Bridge in Vir Ginia. At night a courier dashed up to the lines. And asked for a truce stating that he desired to Send a note from Gen Grant to Gen. Lee. Capt. English in whose front he had halted went Forward and told him that he would communicate his wishes to headquarter. At length the permission was granted and the sealed message was sent Forward. While it was gone the courier who had brought the message began talking. Do you know what that message he said to capt. English who had just been joined by state senator Perry who was adjuvant general of the brigade. No i Don t iwas the reply. It is. A demand for the surrender of Lee s we Are not permitted to exact nature of the reply made by capt. Eng Lish and adj t. Perry to this information a pathetic Inot debt.

Geady dear interesting account of a recent interview with Gen.

The Flint was made the enemy aroused and deceived while Pickett with his main Force was burying As fast As steam could propel them toward fort Steadl Mim and Petersburg. A few More min ittes and Gordon s masterly stroke would become a great Grant s right flank completely turned and his line of communication broken. Minutes grew into hours As the heroic Gordon and his Brave men strained their ears to hear the Roar of Pickett s approaching trains or the rattle of his invincible rifles upon the rear of the fast recovering enemy. Why does Pickett ran spontaneously along the watching and waiting lines. Alas consummate bravery and inter Pidity-could., Avail nothing against the decrees of heaven the rapidly moving train bearing Pickett and his Brave men burning for.

Thus nature has provided bridesmaids and thus the superstition that it is tin Lucky to be often a bridesmaid. Is. A Tutti curious notions concerning Thunder and lightning. At the Saratoga convention of social scientists or. J. G. Henderson in the Suo Section of anthropology gave some interesting details of Indian notions concerning Thunder and lightning. In the Illinois language the word for Thunder is warm Yan the meaning of which embodies the belief that Thunder is caused by the noise caused by the winns of to huge spirit mid. . Thus that these indians satisfied their curiosity in regard to the philosophy of the phenomenon. An orthodox Dakota said Henderson had the same reason Tor be Leving in the Thunder Bird that we have for believing that the whale swallowed the author Analysed the Abo Rig Hal ideas and. Superstitious relative to Thunder and lightning the Central notion of All being that these manifestations Are he direct acts of spirits. Almost All the ribs in the United states believed he Thunder to be produced by he wings of a great Bird and that he lightning was the serpents that were invariably connected with the Thunder ird.

The peruvians had As an Dol a Stone which had been split by the lightning. They offered it Gold and Sil ver. The natives of Honduras burned Cotton seed when it thundered. Other Southern tribes made no sacrifices on the approach of a storm but abased them selves in the most abject fear. I. J the grandest Conception of All fhe author thought was that of Iroquois who said it was their great god Heno who Rode upon the Clouds split the Forest Trees with Thunder bolts or hurled stones at his enemies his Home was under the roaring Falls of the Niagara. He was a Patron of husbandry and in the Spring he was invoked to water and nourish the growth of their productions while at the Harvest festival they gave him thanks for rain. He was also the Avenger of evil deeds and the Iroquois trembled when his deep shout was heard rolling along the firmament. In Brazil the Thunder and Thunder god occupied nearly the same place and the author dilated upon the connection Between this idea Tion of the Flint chert which runs through the whole Indian mythology. Some tribes gave this god. A Sling with which to hurl the stones. In this Way he explained the process of thought by which the Thunder splits came to be the War gods of the Dakotas and other j tribes from whom were received the Tomahawk Spear Heads and other weapons of Flint and those super natural paints which should protect them from the murderous shafts of their ene the wild Rice being aquatic and looking like an Arrow or Spear is also attributed to the Thunder spirit As to its Ori Gin. In Mexico great temples were built upon the sacred spots where lightning had struck. A curious notion among the peruvians was that the preserved bodies of twin children who died in infancy should be worshipped supposing that one of. Them was the son of the Thunder the origin of the idea being the fact that the Thunder god of that people was one of the celestia twins of Apoc tequila and Piqueras. This tradition was utilized by Pizarro s missionaries to teach the indians the doctrine of the Trinity. In the Thunder some of our Western tribes recognize a an admonition of the great spirit of the four winds that the time of Corn planting was. At hand but the main and. Ruling idea everywhere was that the cause of the Thunder was a Bird under various disguises. They de scribed its form and abode and food variously. Different shapes and habits were compared and analogies pointed out. Many professed to have seen or its Fea thers or tracks and some had found its nest on Pinnacles of the Rockies mountains. Usually it was described As com pounded parts Man and parts of t.

An anecdote of Irish poet shows How much pains a writer will take who does Good work to put the right word in the right place. Moore was on a visit to a literary Friend in France and while there wrote a Short poem one Day while the guest was engaged in his literary labor the two took a stroll into an adjacent Wood and tile Host soon perceived that his companion was Given up to his own thoughts he was silent and abstracted noticing neither his Friend and entertainer nor the beauties of the surrounding landscape. By and Bye he began to gnaw the Finger tips of his gloves pulling and twitch ing spasmodically when this Haig onion for a Long time his Friend ventured to ask him what was the trouble ill Tell said Moore. I live left at Home upon my table a which is a word i do not like. The line is perfect save that one word and that word is perfect save its inflection. Thus it and he repeated the line and asked his Friend if he could help him. a delicate Point. The Friend saw the need saw where and How the present word jarred just the slightest possible bit upon the exquisite Harmony of the cadence but he could not Supply the want. The Twain cud eled their brains until they reached the House in their return. Without Avail. The rest of the Day was spent As usual As was the evening save that Ever and anon Moore would sink into silent fits in Pursuit of the absent and so came on the night and the poet went to in a deep study. The following morning was and Beautiful and Moore came Down from his chamber with a bounding step with a scrap of paper in his hand and a glorious Light in his genial countenance. The word had come to him he had awoke during the night and the kind Genius of inspiration had visited his Pillow and he had got up and torn a scrap from Bis note Book and at the window by the Light of the Moon had made the thought secure.
