Mr, John Livingstone in the Witneyre:--eI clip from the Winui• peg Free Prean THE FOLLOWING from itsCertwright correspoudent, under date of Jely 10th :— The 'cropprospect is most dis• couraging. Suite are offering their whole crop to any one who will assure theta their seed. It seems to have been proved conclusively that the gophers are the real cause of the disastrous situation• as those who have taken his destruction in Itai•i by the season have fair crops. From the 'Winnipeg Sun of July 12 I also clip the following from its Crystal City correspondent :— There is a slight improvement in the appearance of the cross since the weather became somewhat cooler, and the few small showers of the last few days, but it will require showers quite but to even' secure a light crop. A few moderately good pieces of grain are to he seen through these parte, but . the bulk of. the crop will be Tight. Both the drought and the gophers have done an incalculable amount of damage, and so far as the gopher is concerned the end 'is not yet,. Also the following from the Waskada correspomient of the Sun . We ere very badly in need of rain here. The crops on stubble are all gone with the drought, and others are very bad: There will be neither oats nor hay in this section. Also, from the Killarney Correa. pondeut.bf the Sun :— KILLARNEY, July 10.—The absence of rain is still the topic of comment in this quarter. The crops are looking miserable. Des- pair and gloom pervade all things here. And from the Deloraino corres- pondent of the Sun the following clipping :— DELORAINE, July 10:—We are still looking -for rain. At beat, eyen with rain, we can have only half a crop. Hay is very scarce. Some have started baying, but it will not be general .for a week or ten days yet. I reiterate THE ESTI3IATE that I wade that the crop of Mani- toba and the Northwest will not exceed 10 bushels to the acre, and were I a betting man I would not bet that it would exceed five bushels to the acre, nor do I think it will, notwithstanding the fact that I gave the estiinate at ten bushels to the acre. FORTUNATE PORTAGE. Around this district, which is one of the•most extensive, the crop will be good ; it is always good here, and the yield will be large. The crop in the vicinity, of Regina, Moosejaw and Pease will average well up in yield, and in spots over the country there " will be good yields. Only a few days ago I saw a man in a section of country where the crop cannot be well reported, yet he expects to have 'A TIELD OF 25 BUSHELS. to the acre. After taking these exceptional spots of the country into account, then weighing well noted, rich wheat sections of the country that only expect from one. third to one-half a crop, and against' such spots or districts weighing the larger number of acres from which not'even the seed will be haryested, the average wilt be reduced to alarmingly small figures. THE WORLD'S WHEAT CROP. The Ontario wheat crop is calcul• ed to yield a good average. The Manitoba and Canadian Northweat wheat crop is a failure beyond a doubt. Minnesota is put down for a yield of 30,000,000 bu. of wheat this year against 27,000,000 last year. Dakota's crop is now estimated at 28,000,000 bu., leas than two-thirds of last years yield. 'The yield bf spring wheat for the whole Northwest will probably be 150,000,000 bu. Russia's wheat crop will be a light one, as will that of Hungary. The Indian crop is said to only a moderate one. In a reveiw of the prospects for the new crop an English trade paper says : " Any extra growth or yield of wheat in Europe, west of the tenth parallel, east longitude, will be balanced, probably `more than balanced, by the reduction in the aggregate wheat yield to the east of that line. When we odd to this Om poor shipments baking, place of the; pew .[radian wheat crop, and aims the harvest "deficiencie•s in Australasia, we slivalrl so far as the eastern hemisphere he concerned, he reduced to admit that despite the improved' prospwctx of our own yield, the general position of the corn trade with respeet to auppliee was in no way nmelsonrded from a year ago." Receipts of lifetime wheat at Liverpool have lettere off' very materially, owing to the fact that the crop tarns out. to t,e' leas than expected and holders woatd rather wait than sell at present value. So far as Michigan its concerned • the yield will be very irregular— from good to very poor. We also think there will be a great deal of - light weight and ehruntcen wheat when the crop is threshed out. The shortage in Austroe iangary alone is estimated at 21,000,000 bushels. Russia, Austro-Hungary Roumania, and Eastern Germany will find it difficult to feed them- selves from this year's crops. England, France, and western- , Germany, will together yield 40,. 000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels more than last year In. Australasia the wheat crop is deficient. " • GREAT MEN DISAGREE. Dr. Brown.Sequard, a famous French specialist, has just electrifis ed the world, it is said, lay announc- ing in all soberness that twenty years of exhaustive experiment have re- sulted in the discovery by him of as elixir-wlaieh--wills-at least prolong human life, even if it do not confer the coveted Noon of immortality. He has tried it himself, he says, and found it to be a veritable marvel. And where has the won- derful secret been lodged all this time? Where has lain the fountain of youth which sad eyedphiloso- phers and bold explorers gave their lives to discover 'hut all in vain 1 Has it awaited discovery in some remote corner of the globe, or has it lurked 'unknown in some simple well,known plant or mineral In none of these, but in the interior organism of that succulent creature the youthful swine has it been found. Tell it not iu Guth and publ- ish it not in the gates of Asalon, but in certain organs of young pigs is the coveted elixir to be found. If any capitalist is looking out for something which will have "millions in it," he had better try, to get Dr. BrownsSequard to go into partners ship with him. They can erect a mammoth factory, corner the young pig market and turn out bottles -of the elixir of youth by the tens of millions. Then conies Rev. Dr Talmage with the following remarks :— " God gave the ancients a list of the animals that they might eat, and a list of the animals they might not eat. These people lived in a hot climate, and certain forme of animal food, corrupted their blood and disposed them to scrofulous dis- orders, depraved their appetites, and demeaned their souls. A man's food, when he has the means and opportunity of selecting it, suggests his moral nature. The reason the wild Indian is as cruel as the lion, is because he has food that gives him the blood of the lion. A miss- ionary among the Indians, says that by changing his style of food to correspond with theirs, his tempera• ment was entirely changed. There are certain forms of food that have a tendency to affect the moral nature. Many a Christian is trying to do by prayer that which cannot be done except through corrected diet. For instance, he who uses swine's flesh for" constant diet, will be diseased in body and polluted of eoul, all hia liturgies and catechisms notwith- standing. The Gadarene swine were possessed of the Devil, and ran down a steep place into the sea; and all the swine ever since seem to have been similarly possessed. In Leviticus, God struck this meat off the table of his people, and placed before them a bill of fare at once healthful, nutritious and generous." The famous medical doctor tied ehemiat claims to have found long life in "piggy," and the famous theological doctor is equally certain that the very old Nick armee from the use of "piggy" as food, We will pin our faith on the theological doctor. ..- -In Hungary 400 houses and public buildings were destroyed by fire.in the town of Paks last week. Many children are reported to be missing. Hundreds of people are rendered homeless and the greatest distress, prevails.
