On the irrigated lands wheat is runhing thirty to forty bushels to the acre snd oats as high as soventy bushels; barley fifty to sixty bushels and in the uplands an equal amount. Owing to the wet weather the crop of wild bay will be entirely lost. Colonel Hupfer, who is one of the largest ownors of hay lands in the Platte valley, has lost his entire crop by the continual rans. T'ho stand is good, but it is impossible to harvest it on account of rain. The crop of corn is exceptionally good, but is ton days late on account of the weather. Corn has the finest stand it ever had in the county aud if frosts do not come too soon will make the largest yield in the history of the county. The farmers will market more surplus products this fall than the entire mortgage indebtedness of the county.

The lease systemn as now operated yields the state $100,000 per anuum, and if it is abolished the tax rate of the state must be increasea. ‘l'here is a strong sentiment among the members of tho assembly against a change, The military !aws are to be changed, so as to give the exccutive more power in emer- gencies like that at Bricevllle. The criminal laws are to be revised, so as to send fewer offenders to the penitentiary, probably establishing the whipping post for misdemeanors or estabhishing houses of cor- rection for youthful offenders. A World’s fair appropriation is to be voted npon and the election laws, which were left in a faulty condition by the regular session, will be corrected.

(N FOYER AND 0 THE STAGE Stories of Actors and Their Movements In- terestingly Told. GLADSOME AND PLEASING AND. SAD. Bright Scintillating Stars from Euro- pean Firmaments Who Will 1= lume the American Stage— A Joarnalist-Actor. Loxpoy, Aug, 30.—The event of the woek, 80 far as the theatrical world is concerned, was the first appearance on a London stage of Mr. David Christie Murray, the much dis- cussed, popular journalist-novelist-dramatist- actor. Mr. Murray made his first obeisance to a metropolitan audience at the Globe thea- ter on Thursday evening, and everybody con- nected with the drama who was still in town was present. The stalls wore chiefly monop- olized by the dramatic eritics of the various newspapers, by well known actors and by even better known dramatists. “Ned's Chums,”” the newly developed actor's own play, which has undergone so many changes of name, was the piéce produced, Mr. Mur- ray sustaining the principal part, that ot “Square Jack.” Mr. Murray undoubtedly made a successful debut, his capital, vigor- ous impersonation of the burly villian of the play being a pleasing experience to the eriti- cal audience assembled to witness his dra- matic efforts and a surprise to the general public. Consequently, although only billed to appear for one night, there is no doubt that “Ned's Chums,” with Mr. Murray as “Square Jack,” will continue to run throughout the coming winter season. The new dancing school for girls, con- ducted under the auspices of Sir Augustus Harris at Drary Lane theater, is pronounced to bea success, Mme. Pheasey is the in- structor of these young lady, ranging in age from 16 to 20 years, who, in order to be ad- mitted to the school, have to enter into contract for three years, beginning at a sal- ary of $2.50 per week. After having at- talned the recessary skill and graco, these courageous pupils are to be provided with engagements at Drury Lane or Covent Gar- den, or anywhero else Sir Augustus way select, and then they will receive ‘‘remuneru- ation commensurate with their ability.” The season of Augustin Daly in Pars promises to be another success. Mauy of the leading theatrical poople of France are going to Paris from the seaside, mountain and other summer resorts in order to be present at the opening night. Daly’s, company opens on Monday next in “As You Like 1t. At any rate, without in any way trusting to French patronage in order to make the ven- ture a success, there are a sufticient number of English and American residents and tour- ists in Paris to insure good paying houses. The English and American tourists in Paris alone are numerous enough to more than fill the Vaudeville theater, where the Daly com- pany appears for some time to come. Ada Kehan is now at Trouvills, Henry Irying's second son, who made his carance on the provincial stage avout a ago, is Wlnnlntm friends. His nom de theatre is Mr. Lawrence, having as- sumed that name by ‘way of compliment to his father’s old friend, John Lawrence Toole. Mr. Lawrenca's debut was mude as “Snug the Joiner,” in “Midsummer Night's Dream.” A dispatch from Vienua announces the death of Marie Taglioni, a niece of her cole- brated namesake. The dead daucer was the daughter of Paul Taglioni, the brother of the world renowned Mario Teglioni. The lady who has just died was bovn in Berlin in October, 1833, ana made her debut in Lon- don in 1847, In 1866 Marie Taglioni married Prince Windischgratz and abandoned her theatrical career. Her death occurred at the Chateau Aigen, near Tull, on the Danube, seventeen miles from Vierna. A Sailors Knot,” with which Drury Lane will reopen, will embraco the period from Napoleon’s escape from Elba to his fall at Whaterloo. The action of the play will com- mence at Wapping Old Stairs, and the declk of the Victory and the march of the troops for the great battle will be seen. Mr. Clarles Glerny will play a juvenile hero to Mr. Charles Warner's lead. There aro only five important_male characters in the drama. A New York manager is said to be trying to engage the services of Mabel Love, a popular “gaiety girl"’ for a season in New York CitySand elsewhere. Mabel, when only a bailet g, jumped into notoriety by plung- ing into the Thames in an attempt to commit suicide. Hor genius in the ballot was appre- cinted to the degree she thought it should be after her cold bath ana rescue and the uu- folding of her pitiful tale in a volice court.
