In cotufuon-place language, this is a bdbkof
travels over a very large portion of our country,
North, North-West, South,, and East, including
a record of experiments in farming in Minnesota;
but it is Gail Hamilton travelling, and Gail -Ha
milton carrying on a Minnesota farm. This puts
it entirely out of the track of connnon-place, and
almost beyond the range of criticism-.- Gail-Ha
milton travelling ilj in'short, a sort' of female ]
Ross Browne, with, however, far deeper penetra
tion, truer wit, and tenderer pathos. Perhaps
most amusing of all is her farm experience, over;
which she -jests with rhrel- merriment. Many- 1
encounters with negroes and Southerners of difle.-
rent proclivities, are humorously related. She
closes with a description of Gettysburg. The
volume is, in a word, spicy, and provides summer
reading of the very best.

The terrible incidents and personal experiences
of the Dragonnades, are here put in the form of a
narrative supposed / to’ be written by an eye-wit
ness and participant. The style is simple and
graphic; the salient points are well brought out;
the power of divine grace in sustaining the suf
ferers is well illustrated; while the sombre hues
which prevail through the story, >are pleasantly
relieved by touches of humor;scenes! of affection,
and ingenious, devices for escape. ;

WALKIRG HORSES.
.. The best gaiu a horse .ever had. for every
day use is a good walk. It is a gait that
not one in ten possesses' 1 Colts are not
trained to walk in all the Eastern' States.
Young America wants more speed. Ken
tucky has more, good walking horses than
any other State, for there horseback travel
ing has long been in fashion fore men and 1
women ovena'cpuntry^wherjO;;,muddy roads,
at,times,. repdereT.any othsr gfiitJip.p.o,ssi
ble, and so horses have beep,, byed: for the
saddle and trained to': a walking.gait. This,
is -the ease in all/the'Western'States, and
-pbrhaps might havo been so in New Eng
larid, when .our grandmothers rode ito meet
ing on a behind our .grandfathers.
But one-horse wagons:have:'put horseback
riding out: of fashion, and now: agoo.dw. a ik

Out of. seventeen entered, the committee
found one which was' considered a'first-rate
walker. This was a Morrill mare, which
walked„fiy.e*mU#s.an hour .wit,h,ease.. Two
others were fair walkers, apd the others
knew no gait that could be:called walking.
At the* New York .State fair the same state
of facts was again developed. A letter from
Wisconsin says: “I think"hOTses trained to
walk fast would be-a greater benefit to
farmers in general than" fast trotters, as
almost all of his work has to be done with
a walk.” I once knew a man in Massachu
setts who, .before, the- railrpads-were built,
kept from'two to four on the
road, and never allowed them to trot at all,
his neighbors, who made their horses trot at
■eveiy convenient place. He said that when
aiioiise commenced to walk after a trot, ho
walked much „sLowerJ,han his common gait
if he kept on a walk, and thereby lost much
more than he gained. Will farmers think
of this, and pay more attention to walking
'horses y.'-
> THE PEIOE OF WHEAT FROM : THE FAR
MEE’S FOIST OF VIEW.
“ What about the price of wheat?” asks
an oid ffiend. It is not sale to predict. I
WJfre we sljiall have a good crop. The coun
:fi i ]y?'ne^lgp, t; - Manufacturers need it, the
Secretary of the Treasury is looking anx
iously-at the grain fields of the West, and
fkfrhfefs themselves need it as much as any
bother, class to high wages s and- still
lbMb<¥r taxes. I|m .iigcliifed to . -think we
bduill have a fair crop, and I‘hope fair prices.
,The markets of the world are bare of wheat.
There is uol Accumulation anywhere. High
prices have brought itallj>ut. In such cir
icumatkwces»o aWsepmHh at the new crop
"shouftT command at least as much as the
caBe :
farmers will not sell for less. Manufacturers
sometimes sell, they say, for less than cost.
But they frequently make large profits.
Farmers never do. Then again, a manufac
turer fears to hold, because there may be a
change of fashion, but the,fashion for wheat
does uot change. It is always Wanted./ Tato
aware that consumers have touch to .say
about the extortion of farmers., The charge
is. unfounded. It is vain to. expect that
wheat can be grown as cheaply as it wias 25
or 30 years ago. In this section, I do riot
see, with the present cost of implements,
wages,' and trixeSj'hdw wheat can be grpWh
for less than 01.50 per bushel, eyeri i'f you
get the land for nothing. You may on rich
land raise it for less, but you take enough
out of the land to make up the difference!
Your land' will become- poorer. If - means
are taken’ to kee.p ;up' the fertility qf the
soil, we cannot grow a bushpl .of' wheat' for
loss than 0L&0,,a. bushel. And if, w;e'expect
an interest for .the.money invested in the
farm,, we ought to get-82.00 a bushel.' At
S2.soafeobd fanner will get am l le remunera
tion.'’But does riot’average
over 15'bushels per aerie, the profits,,even; tit
this figure, are, hpt dazzling. 1 toade
up my mind to sqR when 1 can get sj2.2 j s..fpr
red wheat. , If consumers cannot pay tjiis;
■lest them curtail their expenses in some other
direction. Farmers, need the money more
than French milliners: 5 ' !
Wheat, in, England,’. is now worth front
60s. to 755. a quarter of (right Mow,
as an, English’,shilling, .is 24 cents; of ,our
money, if we multiply the price pcp.quarter
by. 3; w,e get- the price' in dollars and' cents,.
Sixty 'shillings a quarter; therefore, is 01.00
a bushel; Seventy-fiNc shillings a qpaTter is
02.25 per bushel. This is in, gojd. ' With
gold, at 140, sl,Bo: in golcl is worth. s2.s2, and
02.25 .in, gpld,, is,WQrth|o3..ls. Wheat,,in Eng
land;, therefore, is worth in our money, from
02.52 to S 3 15 per. bushel. * ' !
When we know what it costs to send
wheat to Liverpool, and London'”we can
then form some idea as to what pripes we
shoe Id exp.ee t for pur w.heat. As 1 under
stand it, wheat has .been for several months
higher here than in.’-England,; amd conser
quently noiie was exported. But since the
recent dec'lin'e’of'Sl/OO U’bushel in'/New'York*
wheaVcari be exported' with a profit, arid as
Icing as this ip'-thp case, 'lt will be no lower,
If;, we. j raise more wheat, this. year ,than is
wanted by our own rapidly increasing.pppu r
lationy'thenpriee wilL depend brnthe foreign
demand. W'e certainlyßhall not have enough
