lirnun to lo Dlspnhnd of by
the ( ; i\crnincnt ,
The government is nbout to pnrt with
ono of ita most valuable pieces of prop
erty , writes n correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Times-Star valuable becmiso of
historic interest and also because of ita
ffroat value in a business way. Harpor'a
Terry , which the government has owned
for nearly n hundred years , the waterpower -
power of which is hold to bo the best in
the country , a spot more valuable In a
historic way than can bo well told , is to
bo sold to the highest bidder on October
21. Thcro is little of the bump of vener
ation in the head of the average congress
man. Ho prides himself on being "prac
tical. " Whether ho is or not is not quite
clear. Indeed , a study of the worK of
congress , as It flounders about In its at-
tompta at legislation , gives the average
observer an idea that that body is about
the most impractical ono that could beget
got together in any country. Whatever
may bo the fact , however , congress has
ordered the sale of Harper's Ferry , with
all its historic surroundings and valuable
accessories ,
"Wo had hoped , " said n government
olllcial in talking about the approaching
nalo , "to bn able to reserve a par of the
property which was most interesting in
historic way , but congress ordered other
wise. Wo had marked off the spot
where stands 'John Brown's fort , '
with the idea that this much might bo
reserved forever in rcmembor.an.co of
the event which gave to it the name it
now boaru. The 'fort , ' ydu know , was
an engine houao at the arsenal thoro. _ It
escaped the general destruction which
occurred nt the beginning of the war ,
and yet elands. Indeed , it is nbout the
only landmark loft there to show where
John Brown make his historic Tight for
the freedom of the slaves. The port
holes are still to bo soon in the walls
whore twenty-five yearn ago , in the the
very month in which the aalo is to take
place , Brown nnd his few followers de
fended themselves until the doors were
battered down and the thrco remaining
men captured. Wo had thought to ro-
uorvo this building to the government on
account of its historic interest , but con
gress ordered otherwise , and it must go
with the other property. " " - _ '
It is ninety ycnra slnco the government
purchased this valuable water power , and
with it G40 acres of land , from the atnto
f Virginia , to bo used for the manufac
ture of arms. In 17 ! ) t , during the ad
ministration of President Washington ,
Unrpor's Ferry was choeon as the site of
* national armory. It Is said that this
ioloction tras made by the father of his
ountry , ho having visited the place in
person. This is a tradition among the
people , and is so characteristic of the
nan that people find little difliculty in
relieving it. The water power is im
mense , BOino supposing it to bo the finest
n the world. In 1791 congress applied
o the general assembly of Virginia for
remission to buy this property , and of
ourso permission was granted , but not to
xcood G40 acres. Ono hundred and
wpnty ncrcs were purchased from the
loirs of Harper. This tract was triangu-
ar , the two rivers forming two of its
ides.
ides.A
A [ subsequent purchase was made of
)10 acres from a Mr. Iluthorford , where
.ho village of Bolivor now stands. The
jovcrnmont desiring to secure the valua
ble timber of London Heights , leased in
perpetuity 1,3)5 ! ) acroa from Lord Falr-
rax , immediately adjoining Harper's
Ferry. Thus prepared , the government
it once act to work in the erection of
ihopo , and in 1790 a Mr. Peonino , an
English Moravian , was appointed to
uporintpnd the work. In 1799 , during
ho administration of Mr. Adams , in an-
icipation of war with Foanco , the gov-
irnmont organized s considerable army
or dofoiiBo. A portion of the forces was
out , under General Pinknoy , into camp
.t this place , and the ridge on which they
rero stationed hai over since bcon known
.s Camp hill. It runs north and
outh between Harper's Ferry nnd Bol-
Mr.
When the war closed many of the sol-
liors settled at this placo. The spirits
f those buried hero are said to bo rogu-
jr visitors to the old habitations , cans-
ng these houses to remain tenantless and
nown as the haunted houses. The no-
roes , who appear to bo especially favor-
d with spiritual manifestations , boar :
nauimoua testimony to these reports ,
'ho more recent history of the place is
io beat known. Hero John Brown
truck hia first blow for the freedom of
10 slaves , capturing the arsenal on the
ight of October Ki , 185 ! ) , lighting nil
ay on the seventeenth , itooing his opus
iid near friends shot down about him ,
id finally on that evening returning to
10 little engine house as a last atroug-
uld , where the forces gathered around
Im the next morning , capturing him and
is two remaining men , killing ono out-
ght , wounding the other , nnd nftor piorc-
ig the loader of the band with thoirbay-
lolfi , reserving him for the hangman ,
ho did his work on the following Do-
mibor 2 , nt Charleatown , turning the
imams over to the Borrowing widow ;
Unrpor'a Ferry on the same dny.
Leas than two years later the echo of ,
Dim Brown's blow was heard at this very
iot , when the arsenal nnd ita valuable
ms nnd machinery for the manufacture
more nrms , were captured by the con-
idoratoa without n blow. The place was
icnpturod by the Union troops afterward
nt not until the moro valuable machine-
had bcon carried oft to Richmond for
so by the confederate government in the
lanufnoturo of arm. It wns recaptured
Stonownll Jackson in 1802 , just before
10 battle of Antiotam , nnd later , by the
nion forces again , The fortunes of the
are left it a wreck ; the buildings were
urnod nnd demolished , mid nothing is
ow left to recommend the visitor to the
itiny tragic scones enacted there except
lie foundations of the old building nnd
lie liltlp engine houao where John Brown
iiulo hia last stand , which , by some
loans escaped the general destruction
bout it , nnd now stnnda near the rail-
oad station , labeled in largo letters ,
'John Brown'a fort. " -
Harper's Ferry derives its naino from n :
lobort Harper , a native of Oxford in
nglnnd. Ho was born about the year
701 , and at the ago of 20 ho emigrated
0 Canada , where ho prosecuted the bus-
iR'sa of agriculture and millwriting. In
817 ho wns engaged by some moirbors
if the Society' P Honda to erect a
ihurch for that denomination on the Oa-
equon river , near the prosunt town of
iVinclioator. While nn his way through
ho then almost unbroken forests , ho
edged one night with n Gorman in n
onely inn on the site of the present city
f Frederick , Md.
The Gorman's name rrna Hoffman , who
nformcd him that hia best route wns by
ho way of tho"IloU ) , " where hu would
too rome wonderful ncenory. Harper
idoptod the nufgeation , arrived at the
"Hole , " foil in Jove with the place , found
mun Hung there named 1'otor Slovens ,
bought out Stuvrns with fifty British gui-
UCPS , and settled hero. The rcsltty of [
the place wns in L _ l 1-oirfnx , nud by
ptK ! vcranco ho tV lined from that
nobkman n deed cr i > ttnt. Harper set
tled down hero nnd established a ferry ;
hence the name of the "llolo" ceased ,
nnd "Harper's Ferry" loomed up into
perpetual prominence. Harper died in
1782 , and wna interred on his own prop *
orly. His moss-covered grave is to bo
neon in the romantic graveyard that over
looks the town.

\H. Corn ,
Hnrl.in County Press ,
Threshing of grain is progressing
auroly. The average of wheat for this
county , so far ns the statistics hnvo been
handed us , la na near 20 bushels per acre
ns can bo figured , Wo have records of
35 nnd 33 bushels per aero of sprin
wheat , and wo have records ns low as 1
and 12 , and many from 15 to 25.
throe reports of small acreage the caua
is assigned to the careless manner ii
which the crop was put in , like a craz
quilt sort p' hit nnd miss.
The fact is perfectly established tha
the yield of spring wheat in Hnrlni
county for 1881 , is 20 bushels per aero
Whether it pays the farmer to longo
ralso wheat aa a product for revenue is
question for the cultivator of the Ian
nlonp to determine , but to the eye of ni
outsider it is obvious that some other cro ;
will pay much bettor in this section c
Nebraska. Mixed farming has always boo ;
known to pay far bettor than raisin
ono thing exclusively. Now thn
corn is nn assured crop in this scctioi
of the country , Is it not far bettor to pro
duce corn nnd market that crop througl
pork than to depend upon a paying pric
for wheat. The soil is hero , the climat
wo have , the rainfall is abundant an
evenly distributed , hot winds are
scourge of the past , nnd the deft nnd vo
racioua grasshopper placidly sloops wltl
his fathers. In pork there is nlwayi
money for Nebraska farmers. It haa
always boon n staple nrticlo nnd bring ;
fair if not good pricca at Missouri rive :
points. It pays to put cheap corn int <
oven inferior hogo. Then pay moro nt
tcntion to stock ; breed n little higher ,
for it is economy in feeding. Corn wil
bring you In n bettor revenue than whoa1
at present pricca , if you will properly f eec
it out. There ia no monpy inwheat a
35 and 40 cents ; there is a fortune ii
hoga with corn ntlO to 15 cents per bush
el. Farmers , suppose you try it.

Keeping Grapes.
Vtom the Kansas Farmer.
By reference to our homo circle i
will bo seen that the inquiry ia made
concerning grapes that may bo kept for
winter use. Wp have not had any encouraging
couraging experience in that direction ,
but experiments have boon made by some
of our horticulturists , though wo do not
recall any favorable reports. Wo call at
tention to the matter aa ono of very gen
eral interest , and hope to have reports
from persona who have practical know
ledge on the aubjoct. Grapes grow and
mature wall in Kansas , but never in
great variety. The concord is a univer
sal favorite , but wo hnvo not succeeded
in keeping it long. The best keeping
varieties have not done very well with
us , nnd wo nro anxious to learn how to
better handle these which never fail so as
to keep them longer. Grapes nro first-
class fruit. If sorno method of keeping
them can bo devised , the benefits to
farmers -will bo very groat.

Development of iholloantirccs
( ifllio West.
1'roiii the lcmer Tribuno-Kepiiblicnii.
Ono of llio moat promising of the now
business organizations of this city la that
formed by George L. Aggora and o num
ber of other capitalista , who have atartod
out to duvolop the oil resources of the
West. The organization hna atnplo cap
ital and a knowledge of what to do ,
which nugcra well at least for n successful
teat of tlio venture.
All the gentlemen engaged in the enter
prise hare behind them the experience
of n number of years among the oil fields
of Pennsylvania.
The Denver company , aa the organise i-
tion ia called , after looking carefully
over Bovoral localities , have selected a
field of labor. The district selected is anew
now ono , but it la considered by pros
pectors as much moro promising in ita
indications than many which have paid
rich returns to investors in the Keystone
atato , and the promises thus far aa good
aa were those of the very beat paying
fields in that favored land of oil.
The company's claims are situated on
the northeast fork of Poison Spider
Orcok , about two miles northwest of
Dodge City , nnd twenty miles north of
Rawlina. The diatrict is about twenty-
Hvo miles wide and 100 miles in length ,
and contains aU the indicatione that
there is nn abundance of oil in that lo
cality. Only n portion of the territory
liaa bcon prospected , nnd very few
locations hnvo bcon made in the vicini
ty.Tho
The company hna invested a largo
amount of capital in thb buildings , which
nro in readiness far n largo plant of tlio
meat improved style , which haa boon
shipped from this city to Rnwlins , and
from thence to the oil wnlls in wagons.
Very aoon a night and day force will bo
put to work , where now something leas
than a dozen man are employed , nnd
ihon great returns for the investment are
confidentially looked for. Work will bo
continued as Into ai possible this fall.
1 ho wintora at that point nro severe nnd
: ho snow fall ia very heavy during the
wiiitrr. Most of the men intend to go
nto winter quarters and remain and nro
now preparing homes for thnt purpose.
The stockholders in the enterprise nro
very ennguino of the success of their ex
periment. Hxports from London , Now
York and Philadelphia , have made ex
aminations of the oil found in small
quantities on the surface and pronounce
it to bo the fincfit lubricant in the world.
It ia perfectly pure , containing no dirt or
gritty Bubatancowhatever. .
The first oil well In America was bored
in 185 ! ) nt Titusvillo , Pa. It gave birth
to nn induatry that hna almost revolution
ized the modern comforts. The misera
ble , dull light of n tallow dip , or the
smoking , stinking whale oil lamps , fur
nished the homo lights twenty-five years
ago. Outside of the gas-lit residences of
the city people , the light of these days '
was a dim darkness. In the family sit
ting-room two or three could gather
round the center-table lamp to sow or
read , while the sides end corners of the
room would bo in darkness. Now the (
;
nut of the poorest laborer is lighted more
brilliantly than was the palace of the rich
man twonty-fivo years ago , nnd children
no longer read Robinson Crusoe or study
their lessons by the light from the big
fireplace.
The history of oil production in this
country reads like a fairy story. There
was never any other inustry thnt had so
auddon a rise to such vast proportions , I
which haa boon characterized by equal
enterprise , perseverance and intelligent
application of improved means of develop
ment , and by such sudden accumulation
of fabulous fortunes , varied , oftentimes ,
by ruin even more sudden and complete.
Never waa such wild speculation as that
generated by the oil discovery. With an
annual production at its maximum of 31-
000,000 barrels , the sales in 1883 on four
exchanges alone , amounted to 0,000,000- :
000 barrels. In ether words , every oar-
rel of oil produced waa sold SCO times
aver on these exchanges , p
