WHEAT-The receipts of wheat at this point for the week ending August 26th, were 67,750 bushels, and shipments 84,600 bushels.

A V'lait to the Dolls and Glimpse of Nature's Wonders and Beauties mubus and What la to be Seen There. Special Correspondence Evening Wisconsin, We are wont to boast of our language as rich and full and copious; but there are times when after all it seems a weak, inadequate thing.

A visit to the Dells is apt to weaken the faith in the value of adjectives: Noth withstanding, during 8. recent trip up the river we heard the usual exclamations How grand! beautiexquisite! wonderfol! and one sweet soul went so for is to: say that it wAS obarmingly Here and there sat one who realized that there are scenes and themes that silence best befite. The ride up the river was made on a most perfect day, on the New Dell Queen, a delightful new steamer that takes the place of the Dell Queen, went down during high water a year ago, She 1 is a stanch and trim little bust, well fitted for the pursuit of pleasure under all circumstances. There were the usual motley crowd on who looked on everything he saw with board. The energetic business man the air of one waiting for the train; the man of figures, who wanted to know the height of every rock and the length and breadth of every cove and cave along the shore; the" tired looking teacher on vacation; the fashionable woman who actually sat with her crochet work in her hand and counted stitches passing through the navy yard; the comfortable rotund woman who got into the easiest chair and kept it, and the invalid a who sat bolt upright on a stool.

And they all looked and talked or were silent, according to the light that they posgessed. Everybody knows about the Dells and any attempt at description were futile. Everyone almost has wondered over the grandeur, the sublimity, the majesty of this marvel of Nature's handiwork. Its beautifal islands, its grottoes, caves, crevices, cells, chambers, caverns and corridors. Most- Wisconsin people have stood in the Witches' Gulch and imagined all uncanny things; have visited Oold Water Canon, the gem of all; have seen the Angel Rock, listened to the reverberations of Echo Cove, and broken bread at Luncheon Hall, and possibly picnicked in Paradise- otherwise Arch Cove.

We did all this: We climbed over rocks, developing a talent for climbing hitherto unsuspected, listened to all the legends with a child-like faith, were filled with amazement at curions arches and caves and tortuous paths, and wonderful water-carvings, stood in the Devile Jug and in the midst of our wonder. and' delight observed surdry cards bearing the names of sundry visitwho thus publicly manifested their approval of Nature's mysteries and marvela. We wondered what sort of person he or she might be who had such remembrance of the conventionalities in such a place. No one can describe all this grandeur and beauty. Glistening water, delicate film of bright green moss, heavy masses of rook rising in all curious fantastic shapes, narrow defiles and bright open spaces grottoes, and rocks and gulches of startling magnitude and grandeur, To see it all once is to wish to see it again and again.

Season after season finds the same visitors going over the same ground with unabated pleasure and interest. The Finob Honse is more than the delight of the traveler, Nothing that can conduce to. comfort is lacking here and the reward is apparent in the constantly increasing popularity of the house and its host. We said that every body bad been to the Della. We were wrong.

On our return therefrom it was our fortune to occupy a seat with a mildfaced and mild-mannered youth from Chicago, Like most people from that conversational ability was pronounced. He had been off for his vacaa bond of sympathy between us. "Bat tion. So bad There was therefore it turned out that when we spoke of the scene of our exploits he was dumb. Was he unappreciate? Nay, he: had never heard of the Della, He did not know there was any such place.

Then with an eloquence born partly of contempt and partly of state pride, and partly of a strong, denire to make this Chicago youth miserable (we work from mixed motives always) did we expatiate upon the marvels of all we had seen and ejoyed, We told great tales of rock and cave and glen; of ravine and gulch and the, great ships of the navy sard. We the satisfaction of seeing agony of regret in the eyes of the mAn who had never heard of the Delle, and heard with untold delight his vow to see them or perish, We will say right here that after bidding him adien it dawned upon us that his ignorance was feigned; that possibly he had curios ty to test our descriptive abilities; that perhaps a little enthusiasm and eloquence WAS what his poor Chicago soul longed for. We recall with pride the fact that we rose to the occasion. Sight seeing is delightful. It is fine to have this view and that hill or rock or stream pointed out to one, but after eye is weary, and the brain crowded with impressions, how charming is the place where there is nothing to see.

Where there. no demand upon your admire ur wonder, or your capacities ace, Columbus by no means destitute of at It has pleasant shaded stre ming. homes, good drives, excell hools, and churches, and an agreed onltured society, but it has, blessed be its name, no springs, no gorges nor gulches, nor caverns, no clitte nor crags nor yawning chasms, no viewa" except such as its good people hold. Here is the home of Mra. Hattie Tyng Griswald, well known to the people of the east and west as a writer of sweet true verse and strong, vigorous prose.

She wrote when very young and was the friend and correspondent of N. P. Willis, Geo. Prentice, and many eminent literary men and women, She writes little now, and: only when prompted by something that she feels that she is called to say. Active in humanitarian movements, true to all that makes for righteousness, she lives her poems, and that is beat of all Here on the shady porch she sat and read the Life and Letters of Carlyle, and marvelled at the inherent contrariDes8 of all things.

roads were charming. The grain, ready the for the harvest, the golden-rod and wild sun-flower making the paths gay. Nature herself yellow in the late summer, atoning to herself for the fading grass and sere fields. We think as we tranquilly enjoy this restfal beauty, with a gentle pity, of those who are painfully seeking pleasure and rest climbing hills and exploring ravines, by drinking at health-giving springs, or worse than ail, making elaborate toilets at fashionable resorts, forgetting that our vacation has only begun and that the possibility of even the latter folly lies yet before us. 0, P.
