August 8. The small grain harvest is
about ever , and not to tninco matters ,
the result is unsatisfactory. There
nro good many pieces of wheat , which
looked , when heading out , us though
they would yield from twenty-five to
thirty bushels per acre , which probab
ly will not go more than ten or fifteen
nd 4hcro nro some few fields which
wilt not pay for the cutting nnd
threshing. The lost nation , a bald
wheat is the poorest and has not near
bearded varieties.

crop promises to V ? U" > heaviest ever

value of the wheat crop in this comity
ivill , I think , Ultimately prove a bios-
eing , as it will got semo ofusoi.t of
the old cut of wheat railing , tat d lead
us into corn , cattle and hogs.
'This county ii to coining
overory year better for corn
nnd worao for wheat. Whcn-aur coun
ty was now , it used to rain hf rd for n
day or so and then clear off , while the
good breezes wo had wouldvibako the
dew from the wheat during the critical
period of iU rowtl ; thou , too , the
water ran straight into the rivers and

ready established alliances , and in all
probability there trill 'bo ' ono in every

-there ia great dacgor that the farmers
-will'"xun the alliance .movement . into
pelisics , ' " notwithstanding the warnings
of .tie . and
ings monopoly.-ehoola mono
poly cappers. Hhoso.hirelings say that
the tamers' alliance iia a very good
thing , ca long M iU sola object is the
discussion of tbo host .methods ot rais

with politics , because history teaches
the great lesson that , as a class , you
never did know enough to stick to
gether , to protect .your rights and in
terests ; that the spirit of resistance
'to the encroachments of tyrants am
would-be-privileged classes , spring !
up , in every instance , among the arti
sans and tradesmen of the cities. But
aoraohow the farmers of Boone seem
to think that the American
farmer of to-day is inoro intelligent
than those of other countries and other
ages , and are taking , as naturally as
clucks to water , to the railroad director
and manaporn policy of being a Re
publican , Democrat or Grconbackor
if it should be their interest to bo so.
It is a poor rule that won't work more
than one way , and if that rule brings
such infinite good to the moniod man
why not to the poor man ? Of course
there will be si Jo shows gotten up for
the purpose of attracting the farmers
of the State from the objects for
which they nro contending ; such as
the woman's suffrage questions , and
wife-boaters will bo employed to
champion the cause of strong minded
women , as was the case last ar
when tno greatest topers in the id
wore hired to shout for the temperance
cause in Lincoln. Wo have uoino
pretty strong temperance men in this
county , and they were nearly all for
Paddock , first and last , and I sup .
' posed at the time , that ho was a stalwart
-wart tompcraneo man , but 1 have

Something Definite Concerning
Ediion'a Movement *
tfew York Correipondenco Chicago Herald.
While a very strong combinntior
lias boon formed by the various eloc
trio light companies of Now York , th
vork yet accomplished by the on/an
ization known us the Grammo Elec
trical company , ha * not boon exten
sive. The Grammo company is com
posed of the American , Wuston
I3rubh , United States , Fuller am
Jablochoff companies , the Edisoi
Li ht company being the only asso
ciaiion for supplying electrical liglr
which refused to go into vho coinbina
tion. On Broadway , between Unioi
Square and Thirty-first street , tin
Urueh light has entirely taken tin
place of gas for street illumination
nnd the lights of the other companioi I
in the Grammo consolidation are sooi
at intervals in the busy quarters of
the city.
Meanwhile the greatest oncrcy
being displayed by the Edison Ligh [
company. They apparently comtom
plate the exclusive possession of .ho
lower part of Now York city. Th
company has just purchased two build
ings situated on Pearl street , whet
they will establish a central elation

said Major S. U. fc l ° n >
the manager of the company , to
your correspondent to-day , m speak
ing of the concessions irmdo by the
city to the organization , "designated
spaces for laying our street mains ,
which will conduct the electric cur
rent under ground ; * . 'ho wires cither
in the streets or in Cho buildings being -
ing nowhere visibio. Thcso slrcol
mains are now being made by the
Electric Tube company , of this city
The lamps are made by the Edison
lamp factory utMonlo 1'nrk , and nro
being turned out at the rate of 1,100
per uay. At the Edison machine
shops in this city the meter , motors
ad othnr smaller equipments are bo
iny rapidly manufactured. "
"I would like to take every oppor
tunity to correct a false impression
which has somehow gene abroad re-
garding { the price of the light to bo
furnished by the EdUon company , "
continued Major Eaton. "Light will
bo sold in amounts corresponding to
the thousand foot of gas , and will bo
measured oy the meters just ns gas is
in every man's house. The price will
in no event bohighor than gas , and wo
may bo able to furnish , it from the
start nt a cheaper rate. If the gus
companies lower their prices , wo shall
lower ours. Wo know what it costs
the gas companies per 1,000 , feet , and
wo know how far ire commto with
thorn and make a profit. If we fail
to tnako u profit in selling the com
modity wo can pay a good dividend
from our sales of power alone. "
"What are the peculiar advantages
oi the Edison system ever other
iceUiods of ebctric lighting ) " your
correspondent then asked the man
ager , who expressed a desire that the
people of Chicago should thoroughly
understand the progress of the Edison
Light company.
"Tho Edison company is the only
lcctrio light company having a com-
plota system , including dynamos , reg
ulators , insulated street mains , junc
tion-boxes , motors , safety coils to
guard against fire , lamps and bracket
and chandelier attachments. These
items , which are all thoroughly cov
ered by exclusive patents , make up
the Edison system , which enables the
company to do what no other
company in incandescent lighting
ever pretends to do , namely , to Actu
ally offer to compete with gas at the
same , and perhaps lower prices , with
out loss. Companies have been form
ed in Cleveland , Detroit , Chicago and
St. Louis , and as soon as the warm
weather isiover , so that the directors
of the various companies may moot
for action , wp expected to nt once fur
nish the initial plant or central station
like the Now York ono , for each of
these cities. There may bo some delay
lay in St. Louis , where , possibly , fur
ther state legislation.may bo required
to Bocuro consent to lay street mains.
"Has the Edison company made
any cffwrt to secure contracts for >
street-lighting ? "
* \Vo have never made any applica
tion light the streets of Now York.
replied Major Eaton. "Our statistics
showing that , taking the city through
out , there are 200 gas-burners in the
houses for ovury ono in the streets
. and wo are quito satisfied for the pres
ent to do the vastly larger business of
lighting the buildings without troub
, ling ourselves about the streets , at
, which , as all gas people will toll you
no money can bo made. "
The private residences 'of Mr. W.
r H. VandorbiltMr. J. V. DiNavarro
Mr. Piurropont Morgan , Mr. Barney
thoGoolots , and others are now be
ing fitted with , the Edison light.
Most of the mammoth buildings in
course of erection in the city will bo
wired by this company before the
work of plastering ocgins. Besides
attending to the wants of country
hotels , seminaries and many buildinge
outflido of gas limits , the company ,
understand , is engaged in wiring sev
- eral large steamships now being built
the most notable being a vessel foi
the Norwich line in process of con
struction at Wilmington. The mechanical
chanical details of the company arc
under the dintct supervision of Mr
Edison , who can bo soon any day

Ono of the most difficult things oi

ShakiBg Handi With a Shark.
gin PranclKO Chronicle.
Pater Winant , the oystcrman , toll
n story of n mud shark , which may
explain the accident which a bathei
recently mot with at Santa Cruz. Mr.
Winant was at his oyster beds , nca ;
San Pablo , recently , and the tide being
ing unusually low , some stingnrcci
wore left stranded. Mr. Winant am
his brother , went out to dispatch th
stingarocs , which are the pirates o :
the oyster beds , and while so engage *
heard their dog barking furiousl
some distance out in the mud. On
watching the dog thny saw that ho was
having a lively light with some kind of
a fish that had boon left in a shallow
pool by the receding tide. The do ]
was not a cowardly animal by air
means , but the fish was novortholcs
- too much for him. Every time th
dog bounded at the fish the lattc
rose to meet him , nnd after several
minutes , had been spent in those gym
nastic performances the dog scorned satisfied
r isfiod and drew off to a safe distance
Mr. Winantand.hte brother , having o
long rubber boots , waded out to tin
" fish and found that it was a spccime :
of what the oystermen call the mu
shark , a squat and vicious fish abou
throe foot long and shaped somewha
, like a dogfish , but much more powoi
ful and active. It was the first on
Mr. Winant had ever seen at sue
close quarters , and ho proceeded to
poke it furiously with a stick. The
, moment ho touched the shark it
bounded out of , the pool and snapped
. at the stick. Considering the acs-
, perate fight which the shark had just
conducted against the dog , who was
ositting some distance off in a very
. dilapidated condition , its activity and
ferocity rather astonished the oyster-
men. In the attempt to kill the
shark Mr. Winnnt hastily proceeded
to cut the shark's throat , when the
fish loosened its hold and seized the
oysterman by the other hand. After
I a lively tussle the shar.k was killed.
vMr. . Winant states that ho never saw
, , such an exhibition of ferocity , and
or thinks that from the disposition
n- shown by the shark it would attack
anything that might attract its niton-
re tion in the water. The fish seemed to
. bo a veritable marine bull of the most
vicious kind.
