10W A IIXUSfMa Crops UnslBMs, Politic, Etc.. iu the "Hankere" State. The biggest "boom" in Iowa at present is the crops. From nearly every portion of the State comes the gratifying intelligence of a bountiful h. ii vest. The exception Is in the north- west corner, urouud Sioux City, where the grasshoppers took possession iu the spring. The wheat in Northern I wa, along the Chicago & Milwaukee railroad, U said to be thin, but the qoalitj is good and the ji.-Li up to the average. lu Central low the rliiut. bug endtSBSffd to get up a boom for the tiieenbackers' but the darniie was uot alarming and the boom was "no go." Iowa doesn't claim to be the boss wheat growing State, yet she MM do weil, ! nd last year raised ever 3ü.(XK),0O0 bushels -2J,000,000 more than Minnesota. The corn crop will be immense and you cau as safely bet on tLat as on a big ILipubllcan majority this fall. Iu this county, iu Southeastern Iowa, we ate needing raiu, but the couutiea around us have been favored iu that respect recently, so we expect our time soon. An old furnier says "It is the dry weather that scares the people, but the wet weather that starve them." Accepting this as a fact we won't complain. Speaking of dry weather, the fol lowing Vood one" comes from a farmer liviug iu, the northeastern part of the State. He says the dry weather of ldTtf is uot to be compared to that iu 1857. "In that year I plauted corn iu the bed of the Maquo keta rivet aud it was so dty I had to irrigate." "But, if so dry, where did you get the water to irrigate with," asked a bystander. "Oil, I caught the tears of the weeping wii lows along the banks," was the ready reply. We pass. Bu&iutssis reviving all over the State. Every oae is looking forward hopefully, excepting the Gieenbackers. They feel "blue." Thy know the return of good tunes will knock the "stufliu' "cue of their party. They are disappointed that re.-umption did uot bung about some dire calamity as they prophesied, but it nidu't and the people are leaving them and they feel bad. Their leader in the State is Congressman Weaver, he who iu a speech at Washington said heifer calves a year old were selliug for two dollars per head iu Iowa and the roads were liued with poor tramps seeking honest toil. Yet farmers found it difficult to get sufficient handa with which to harvest. This same man professes to believe the (ireenbackers will elect a successor to the late Rush Clarke, in the Firth Congressional District this fall, (5.004) Republican) and thai the (irceL.ba k ers will caat Oö.imk) votes iu th Stall We pity Weaver. Don't know whether he was bom so, or tfot kicked iu the head by a mjle, but it is too bad, any way. One of the most significant -igus of returning prosperity is the huge amount of ra Iroad building going ou. Hardly a towu in Iowa, but ha& a "railroad coming." This building is largely by old established lines, although there are many new liues being pushed through rapidly. The only draw back seetns to be the lack of iron. The companies report all the rclling mills runuiug to their utmost capacity and those who have sent in their orders late must wait for them to be Oiled. The Chicago, Miiwaukte & St Paul israpUly push lug their line towards Sioux City aud Yunktou; they also contemplate extending their line from Dubuque to Cedar Rapids to Des Moines, capitol or the State. The C , B. A O, , C , R. I. & P. aud the Northwestern are buildlug "feeders" at several poluts There are also several uarrow guuge projects being cariied on. This rail road building gives a large number of men and teams employment aud also brings much mouey into circulation. Politics are quiet. There are foui tickets in the tlelt1, but the Republicans expect to carry t h ätate by an old-fashioned msjoiity. They mean business and you will hear a good report from Iowa iu October. The Democruts Hist met in convention, but their ticket doesn't boom worth a cent. Judge Noble, for Supreme Judge, the strongest candidate on the ticket, has positively declined the nomiuation. Besides, the platform declares against free whisky, und that ia enough to knock the enthusiam out of any Democrat. The Republi cans renominated their old ticket. Tbw opposition expected a fight in the convention, but with the exception of candidal.- for Supreme Judge, the nominations were made by acclamation. The Greenbackers nominated a ticket and adopted a platform similar to the Democrat's oo the money question. They declared against fusiou, but in all probability they will be sold out as usual just before eh ctlon. The prohibitionists next meet. The convention people refused to make n mioatioas, but a few bolters put a ticket in the Held. Ttieir candidate for Governor promptly tbclined and other., on the ticket will follow suit. This conven

tion was gotten up by the Democrats to draw uo'es from the Republicans, but It will not work. It is expected about 027 men will vote the prohibition ticket there being iust c.bout that many "damphools" in the Re publican party of the StMc. Iowa has more newspapers to the square mile than any State in the Union. Hence the general intelligence and large Republican vote The weekly press is well supported and there MB many line offices and papers which in typography and editorial ability equal the pride of Ifortbara Iudiuna the Warsaw Indianion. The daily press i also excellent and ftnch papers its the Davenport Gazette and D.ivenport Democrat, Sioux City Journal De Moines llvj itler, B irlington Hawkeye, Kookuh (Jute City, etc.. are rarely f mud iu aides of the population they represent. The Gazette wants Sherman for 1880. The Hey inter seems to favor Blaine, while the Hawkeye would be mightily tickled ovei Graut or Coukliug. Judging from the tone of the papers over the State, we would thiuk Grant stands first and Shermau next- though Biaiuo has inany followers. Iowa Is a grand State. She has a splendid soil.vood railroads to cairy products to market, has One schools and is settled by an intelligent and sociable people.

How Specie PuymeutH were .Maintained by a Detroit Bank. Detroit News.) Some funny stories are told of business methods in the olden time, oue of which will beur repeating as an illustration of the advautagee sil ver dollars possess as a bank reserve aud which by the way, we especially commend to Secretary Sherman. The old Farmers' and Mechanics' hank was established in Detroit in 18.K). In 1H45, owin- to some disastrous Operations iu Ohio.it was tern porarily ba lly nippled, and to tide over the MlMS UM diieetors lenttheit best energies. TtM bank had a large

which Would compel the closing of their doors. Now-a-days a bank ofli cer would throw up the Hponge under such circutn-tan es and suspend payment like a little man, but then bunk Ml were both bold and feilile of ex pedteut. The eoiu had run down very low, and there was no time to bo lost. The services of a fiiend of the institution were secured, and he was privately sent to a large cred tot ( Lyell, the eub.- quently defuultiug banker, by the wu ) to whom tln-ciit ical stale of the bunk was whispered and the wisdom of some meostircs of self-protection suggested. Lyell snapped at the bait and upon a hint from the officious minister rushed arouud to the nearest court aud got out an injunction forbidding the bank to pay out uuy more eoiu peudiug the order of the court. This effectually saved the coucero. for when note holders subsequently presented tl.e buuk's paper for rtdemptiou they were politely met with the reply, "We would be very happy to oblige you, sir, but unfortunately we are for a few dayb tied up by a process of the Wayne circuit court. We hope the ii juucliou will son be dissolved, when, etc." It was lute in the afternoon when the injunction was served, and the stock of coin had some hours previously dwindled to $53. Tho cashier tneuctime was on nettles. If that injunction did not come quickly the concern wus ruined. At every opening of the door the poor muu trembled in his shoes lest the new comer should be a note holder in quest of eoiu. One more demund would close the concern forever. Slowly the clock ticked off the minutes, full tnlrty of which must yet elapse before the hour of closing. Would that injunction never cornel At last the door opened and a nervous, bustling man hurried to the counter. The cashier saw at a glance that it was all up with him, but while there was life there m still hope, he thought. "Here, Mr. Cashier, I've got Ave hundred dollars of your notes I want coin for." The cashier endeavored to preserve a placid exterior while he de-

liberutcly bcthoujht himself how he

might delay a refusal of payment for a little while, until, perchance, an officer would come iu with the hoped for inj unction. "So you want coin for your bills, do you, suavely remai ked the cashier, glancing with the corner of bis ee through the open wiudow into the all too quiet street. "Why. yes! I lire in Dexter, and I want to catch the four o'clock train, so please hurry up the specie." "All right! What's the news in Drslcff How do the crops look? How's my old fiiend f Is he living there still? And, by the way, what in the woild can you do with specie iu that little country town, that Fanners' and Mechanics' bills won't accomplish ?" "Oil! never mind. Give jnc my money ao I can catch tho train. The fact is there is a little 11 irry out there about the safety of your bunk, and I want to make sure of my money." "Ha! ha! ha! ' 1 uighed the cashier ; "afraid of our bank, are they! Well, they must be getting pretty fistidious when the conservative old Fatuu ia' aud Mechanics' w on't suit them. Why, my deai sir, "Never mind the pedigree of your bank, but give mc my in u- y or I shull miss my train." "Certainly, my dear sir." (Another glance through the window, but still no sheriff in sigui.j A-ide, "What shall I do?" "Then ; I've got only ten minutes to catch my train. If you will ostBlw mc upon honor that it is all light, and that the batik is not going to bust, I won't wait now; but if you are going t shut up I waut my money. Come, how is it, old fellow V" "Really sir," replied the polite cashier, "you place me in a veiy delicate positiou. If I tell you the bank isufe and uuything Happens hereafter you will blame Mi on the other hand, if I tell you it is shaky I shall be unfaithful to my employe i and shall very justly be discharged. I prefer uot to make any statemi nt, but simply count out your one thousand half d liars." (Half dollars were the principal coiunge in circulation at tnat time.) Turning, screw driver in hand, to a strong wooden box, apparently tightly screwed together, such as silver coin was usually in, In those days, but which the cashier knew very well to be absolutely empty, he wiped off his brow und set himself to work as if to an herculean tusk. The man glanced nt the clock, then at tl e iron-bound coin box, (hen mentally calculated the weight of a thousand half (lobars, then burst out with: "Nevermind; I see you hive got fhe coin, and I'll be d-d if I'm going to pack u thousand half dollars all the way to D xier to-night. Besides, it was ouly for another man. Never mind. Mr. Cashier, I won't trouble you" ami out of the bank he dal led. Tin- i'-j inctiou was served soon after, and the danger pas.-cd. But tin old F.u mere and M. chanica' bank s'ill kept up the habit of being short of coin, and did so till the last, when neatly twenty years later what was left of it was consolidated wiih a pii vate bank and be UBS the now pros pcious Ano iiean National Bank of Detroit.

Th sleepy old town had, boweYer, a right to amuse itself in geuealogy, for it produced a number of remarkable men the Oh uueeys, the Wudsworths; the Lytnans, the Austins, and the Goodriches celebrated in the literary, clerical, legal and officii! annuls of u dozen States of the Union. But tho town, nevertheless, was sleepy, and so were the people when in chuich. Oue hot Sunduy moiuiug in midsumer, us the minister, Rev.

Looking down upon him the preacher shouted, in his loudest tone: "David, wake up!"

An Indiana Snake Story. The prevalence of snake stories this season, and tho seeming favor with which they are received by the Intelligent public, Induces the JourtHil to print the following narrative. If the story seems improbable we can only say the season has been prolific of improbable stories. This one is respectfully dedicated to the editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, who has lately intimated more than once thai Indiana snakes are not up to the average of those in other States: Robert Sculliu is a country peddler and huckster, who makes his headquarters in this ciiy and travels ihroofh several adj nttg counties. His business is selling tinware, in exchange for which he takes rag?, old iron, and anything which he thinks lias a merchantable value, howvv at small. He is a cooper by trade, but has been peddling ever since the panic of IHTi. His father is an elder in a Presbyterian church iu Jefferson coun'y, and the family were reared iu that fuith. In his business he sotne:incs accumulates considerable quantities of farm produce- butter, eggs, and the like w hich he sell- to city groceis. He is so well known us an honest man that the grocers who deal with him are in the habit of taking things almost wholly upon his repraat a tat Ion. About three weeks ago he sold to a Massachusetts aveue grocer a basket of eggs, said to contain seventeeu dozeti. Winn counted out there were ouly Üfieeu dozen and three eggs, leaving twenty-one uuaccouuted for. Tho next day when he called for settlement, fin shortage was mentioned, and he d. t.i' 1 it. One word led to Mother until he and the grocer nearly OBBM to blows, and BcuHla finally drove off without a settlement His bu-iness took him to Hendricks county. One day last week rie stopped to "water his horse, and at he BMJ getting into the wagon his attcottoo was arrested by a peculiar singiug souud. At first ho thought some wandet lug child was playing on a jewsharp, but he OOS became convinced this was not the case. The found seemed to proceed from tho rear of the wugon, and us he walked around, it seemed to couc titrate in an old stove which wns lashed on behind. The stove was one procured from a farmer's wife near Noblesvllle lu exchange for tinwate. Not having t convenient opportunity to dispose of It, Scullln had been hauling it around for some time, As the sound seemed to pro0t . 1 so directly from the stovo his Güll s!ty led him to open the door While dotog this the singing, which hitherto had been of a rather spirited chat acter, changed to a low, monotonous sound between the cooing of u Jots eod the pnnlug of a cat. Sculliu says his Mist thought was that a swarm of bees hud taken po-session of the stove, but as he saw none of ih. se in the air this supposition was soon dispelled. Meanwhile, he BSi unbuckhd the leather st:ap which conllued the stove and opened the door. Here we quote his own language: "I declare to you 1 never was so scared iu all my born days us I was when I of en. d th.it stove door. What d'ye sup.tui.se it was? There, in a nest scooped out in the ashes, lay a black snake at least five feet long, and nearly as big arouud us my arm, with his head lifted up right in the middle of a coil aud looking at me more like a devil than a beast." Before Sculliu had recovered from his sii: piise tin, snake commenced gliding into au upper comp.utuieut of the stove, and as it did so he was dumfouuded to discover the uest full of heas' eggs. He bad presence of mind enough to count them, and was further amazed to Hud there weie twenty. one- just the number IBImIh from nis basket a fortnight before. Tnis aceouuted for the shoilage. Scant ly had he finished the counting when the onuke glided down uaiu aud colled itself ou the nest. BealUf has a neivotis ifeUoB in the left eye, which, sometimes oe ll ana him to wink la vol tta tartly. He sayaaa ho gazed at the snake after the latter had comfortably coiled itself again on tfef eggs, he f, It his left eye lid drop and. immediately the snake winked its left ye at him with SB expression altogether uuhumau. Sculliu ..ays they winked ut at other as much as a minute and a half oi two minutes, though it seemed like half an hour or more to him, when he closed the stove door mounted his seutaud drove on. That ni. Jit he stopped ut the house of a Quaker uaucd Uamiltou. AU night he saw the vision of that suake, ami was framing au apology to the ludiuuupolis grocer with whom he had had high words about the missing eggs. It was evident enough now that the snake hud stolen the eggs aud deposited them iu the stove. Iu the morning at daylight Sculliu w ut to look ut his wag on, aud the first thing he thought of was the stove. Ashe approached it he heard the aeSM singing sound that had arrested his alien. ion, but acompanied now by another which he could uot dis iuguish. When he opened the stove-door he was greeted with a strange bight indeed. The ftOTB VOI füll Of litUe CbMtlBJ ai;I
