The PlaOe to Go To. lloracc Greeley closes
A recent European letter as follows : " I bid
adieu to Switzerland "with a deepened apprecia
tion of the grandeur of her scenery, the excellence
of her institutions, the general nobleness of her
people. Among the latter are mean-souled and
knavish individuals, doubtless as where are they
not?-fand wherever such 'exist; the traveller will
surely experience their undiscribable contacts 5 but
the Swiss heart beats true to-day as in the heroic
age of Stauffacker, Tell and Arnold de Winkelried,
and the American who has a year at command
for foreign travel, should set apart at least its Au
gust and September for this - mountain home and
refuge of European liberty. Travelling with the
least possible baggage, often on a mule or on foot,
he may see- more-, enjoy more,' gain more health
and strength, and be swindled less,- among the
Alpine heights, than in any other portion of the
Old World. ". - ; . 77 , ;

owner was forty years in collecting.
There" is no little excitement throughout
this' and adjoining States about the damage
done by the rain to the harvested aud uuhar
vested crops of grain and hay. It U not at
all surprising that every farmer should meas
ure- bis own and his neighbor's crops in the
same half-bushel, and whenever thuirprouts
have appeared, ot only think himself totally
ruined, but also believe famine to be inevita
ble. 7.-7 -'V;:..- " :'
Let us look at the prospect fairly Tlioro
is no disputing the fact that in all the wheat
region north of lat. 41 the wheat, either cut
or uncut, is badly sprouted. . How : great the
damage is it is duncult to determine, as many
farmers have no precedent to jude D.y,' not
having bad fctrch a season for -several -years.
Indeed remembr only one -it waa in the
year 1836, though thejworst of the wet weath
er eame somewhat later. , , : ; t
. . That year the wheat was mostly eut, and in
shocks in the field or in. the stacks. In the
great wheat regions of Ohio, Indiana, and H-linois,-
the farmers quite generally . declared
the crop to be totally ruined. ' In some fields
it did look so, for chen it wa& uncut the .yel
low heads assumed a green ; shade, and the
shocks and stacks became grcco on the surface
as the adjoining pastures In due time, however-,
the raining period was over, the sprouts
died, the etattdidir grain was cut, the shocks
stacked rr thrashed, the stacks lost their bright
yellow hue and stotnl a rusty-looking mass of
dry, , Weawif r-oeatcn Etraw ; anu yet mam
the result the wheat indo was as bright
and sound as ever. 7 So slight was the injury
that it was hardly perceptible in the final re
SUlt. ' The shocks ana standing grain were
more injured,' but not ten per cent, of the
crain was destroyed. ! : '-'U! - ".' -' '
v When wheat is sprouted, a good ' winnow-ing-machine
.will remove most of the injured
kernels, which make excellent feed for ani
mals. If there be a predominance of sprouted
grains in the grist that goes to mill, it is not
spoiled for food ; it is only spoiled for light
bread. 7 The dough, instead of rising by the
ordinary process, has a tendency to liquify
and spread out and form a sticking mass that
will not be kneaded into loaves. It makes
good unleavened bread, and is quite nutritious,
with a sweetish taste. A By many,; persons
bread made of sprouted wheat is preferred,
but. in market the least appearance of grown
kerneles will Injure the eale. , Some millers
even contend that one per cent, of such ker
nels will injore.the quality of the wholev . It
is therefore . important to the farmer that he
should be Very careful to kep the sprouted
sheaves separate from the sound,1 and should
abn separate the sound from the unsound grain
tu wtunowtng-,: as faf as possible, i - ' :-' f 3;
""The Injury of raid iipou wheat it quite over
rated in this country, because xre are not well
used .to it our harrebt weather being usually
so fine that the straw retains its golden bright
ness till it hiB been thrashed . Not so in
England. s-There the rains are often so In
cessant that sprouted wheat Is very common,
and the business of shocking or stacking the
sheaves is au art that commands higher wa
ges than reaping. : There the stacks are al
ways thatched to preserve them froi snroutins
on the outEide-, and often built hollow df V
them on the inside, tn this country we ere
much more careless. Our wheat is often ex
posed to complete soakings. Much of that
grown in the West is thrashed on the ground,
and often lies in a pile throiigh a long rain'
and if a warm one, some of the outside grains
are sprouted., but the inside of the pile is un
injured. . . ; 7 - .7
- The , D&bubian wheat-boats are without
roofs ; th grain is piled up in a pile rounded
on top, and" exposed to till the rains that fall
during a long voyage ' If the ' weather be
warm, the outside grows and mats together
some inches deep, and that protects the re
mainder. The worst of the sprouted part is
only fit for beasts, while that but . slightly
sprouted sells as food for man and that below
the wetted crust is fit for shipment to France
or England. ' ; 7 v - . :
We have no doubt that the grain is injured
by the present wet spell, some accouuts of
which we continue to give ; but it is not ' ut
terly, ruinous." We may doubt whether
farmers do not gain more in other crops than
they will lose in wheat by the rains. Mcan
time let us console ourselves that we arc not
likely to be destitute of wheats A trustwor
thy writer makes an estimate ' that Ohio will
yield the present season twenty-two millions
of buthels, Illinois eighteen. "millions, Wis
consin ten millions, Michigan eight millions,
and Pennsylvania twenty millions." There
is no prospect of a famine. AT. Y. Tribune.
", Tragedy in Texas.
" The Austin State Times has the following
account of a bloody transaction in that city.
The victim, Mrs Malone, was the mother of
teu children t On Sunday morning last a Ger
man named Frederick, visited the house of a
Mr.' Malone, living about twenty miles from
this city on the Colorado river, and asked for
some buttermilk. Mr. Malone, who had not
yet risen, got up, . and let , the man in, and
then started to the milk-house to accommodate
his guest. While be was gone, Frederick
walked deliberately to tho bed where Mrs.
Malone was sleeping, : and sheathed a broad
knife in her breast, killing her instantly. It
is said that no previous misunderstanding ex
isted between the parties, and that Frederick
had frequently been at the house before the
day of the murder. On the return of Mr.
Malone with the'!' milk, and his discovery of
the act,' he took down his shot-gun, and aimed
at the murderer,' ' but the gun unfortunately
snapped; the murderer then made a blow with
the same knife with which he had killed the
wife,, at the husband, who clubbed his gun,
and knocked the. villain down. He arose and
renewed the attack On Maldnej Who gave him
a second blow with the gun, breaking his
skull-bone. He then tied him; and havin
"attended to "the burial of his wife started with
the prisonor to this f laee but before he reach
ed here, the murderer breathed his last.
The Liquor Law.
We have always doubted the policy of at
tempting to legislate .meti iro inor.ility. It !
U u principle in political philosophy that that ;
government is best which governs least. In
order, to organize and to verpetwate society
men vi;dd una portion of their liberty this
they do, cheerfully and willingly; but when
grieatt sacrifices arc demauded, when new
chaf ae sought to bind down their vills,
they rW'rcstless and rebellious. Ilcnoe the
necessity of the greatest care and caution in
attempting, by legislative enactments, to make
new encroachments UpoU the natural liberty
of individual .Citizens 1 hte remarks are
especially true of a Democratic Ibrm of gov
ernment, whore the people, by their represen
tatives, ,are their bwn law makers- Jii this
C4se when the representatives are faithless,
and Undertake to trample on the wishes of
those who gave inem their power, their acts
become nullities-, and legislation becomes a
farce' . ' ' - :f -- - ' -
This is clearly illustrated by the universal
disapprobation by which the lixjuor law of the
last Legislature is received. The question, of
a prohibitory liquor law had been left to a vote
of the peeplo and had been condemned. Was
this right to make kVmVji their vi-.-ws through
the ballot box, thrown out as a sugar plum to
quiet the voters? Or did it betoken a sincere
deeirc to let the popular voice have its wonted
power ? If the act authorizing the vote of
the people meant nothing, t then those who
passed it were little less than idiots; if it meant
anything it was, that as the people willed, so
would the Legislature act. . But our Legisla
tors did not do so, they sneered . at the ex
pressed wish of the people, and passed a law
that was uncalled for and ridiculous. The
consequence is, that it is condemned all over
the State ; there are none who respect it, none
will trouble themselves to enforce it j and this
will be added to the black list of dead letter
acta which encumber and disgrace the archives
of the State.
This new law Is ' condemned aS much D.y
stringent temperance men a bV AttV olhers.
and whence it derived supjiort enouga to pass
it. we are at a loss to know. INo, we take
that back 1 it is bat one ef a series of acts that
characteried. the most reckless thoughtless
and corrupt Legislature, perhaps that has dis
graced this good old Commonwealth for years.
It needed no great effort to have it pasrod ; it
was a novel idea; and was quicklv caught up
by those who were continually running after
strange Gods. . " ".
Besides being In gross violation of th ex
pressed will of the people, it is objectionable
in riiany rf its features. These we will endea
vor to show up from time to time, trusting
that past experience may teach voters never
again to trust tbeiriwishes and their interests
to irresponsible .hot. headed bungleis inett
who will condemn their instructions, and make
stupid and clumpy Jaws, that cannot stand.
' Eastern Horses. ; ' " - ' :
Most European, 'horses like to tease their
riders ; the Eastern horses would as soon think
of flying. Nine out often English horses, if
an accident happens to yoilr saddle or bridle,
will select that very moment f r some display
ot eurrgy or temper. 1 liave known many
Anatolian horse whom you culj stop in full
career 6imply by taking your foot out of one
of the stirrups." Not that they are tame and
spiritulous far from if. Let Ihe Anatolian
horse know that his rider sils iiru in the sad
dle, that his feet press erually in cither sur
rip, that the bridle is all right, and that pran
cing and curvetting ire desired-, and he will
play at that game with spirit enough to satisfy
even the most fastidious horSlman. If the
rider is tip for, a ncck-or-nothing race, his
hore is the horse to dash Forward at all risks.
But If his roaster is faint and Weak, the same
horse feels for him, and will carry him care
fully and tenderly. s a good nurse does a sick
child. If you ride him over broken ground,
he will take the greatest care ; and if lie falls,
you may be sore he will fall in snch a manner
as to hurt himself, and net you. - . Our 3-oung
officers are rather reckless riders. I have
heard Of scores of falk in full gallop, during
this campaign, r. I never knew any one come
to harm that had a fall with an Eastern horse.
In July last, aO hour After sunset, racing it
hard over the darkercd plain of ".Dovna, with
4 young officer of the Light Division, who
since died a hero's death at Alma; his horse
fell in full career. " Horse and rider rolled iu
the dust, and it was altogether a fearful fall.
The rider got Up lcwiidercd, astonished, and
perfectly sontid. - The animal's knees ahd face
were cUt ; he had put down his head to break
the fall I If that accident had happened with
a European horse, the officer would hardly
have died in battle-. Letter frutn the Camp.
