The Continued Advance in wheat and the Rise in Cotton Gives En couragement- New York, Oct. 2. R. G.

The continued advance in wheat may prove ot the utmost import inte. it nas been l.ia cents tor the week, and ten cents since September 2d. and is mainly due to short crops abroad and unusual foreign demand.

We have noticed that nine out of every ten, people who drive a horse, run the animal down hill; also,-, that the same number of drivers out of ten invariably whip a horse when it gets frightened. Good horsemen never do either. As for the last mentioned case, a Iriver has but to take the matter to himself to decide wbethei it is the correct way to handle a horse. At tho moment he himself were terribly frightened would he want to be simultaneously beaten? An intelligent horse is like a human being to a greatci extent than is realized, and he should be kindly bilked to more and whipped less. The powers for evil in this world fccem to be more potent tha'n the powers for good. "There is a constant and mighty effort going on to keep humanity in check, and make it better. Why should this have to be? It seems to be given up that evil is easier to , fall into, than good, and the young are continually being warned against life s dangers and pitfalls as though their natural instincts and impulses for good svtre not sufficiently invulnerable against the encroachments of evil It is strange that the lesson "of a good life and the peace and hap pmess that attend it, isn t a ronger lesson than it is strange that evil can appear to a person in; a more alluring guise than goodness wears. In the latter part of 1864, President Lincoln, writing to his friend Elkins in Illinois, said 'Yes,' we may all congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is aring its close. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. The best blood of the flower of American youth has been freely offered upon our " country's altar that the nation might live. It has been, indeed, a trying hour for the republic; but I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country, as a result or tne war corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will en- deavorto prolong its reign by- working- upon the prejudices of the people until all the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my , country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.
