The WHEAT EXPORT The New York Economist
has collaed some interesting facts and figures in
ference to the Wheat export for the present year.
Up to the end of the second week in February, the
export of Wheat since the first of August last,
30 ,357 bushels. The highest export year
known 1e47, and compared with that we have
in six months, of 1904, exported four-hfthS
much Wheat as I'm the whole of the famine year of
1847 Should the export continue at this rate; and
the supply in the country be equal to the demand,
the export by the first of August next, will have
reached 40, 600 900 bushels, enormous aggregate
which will go far to prove the vaunted ability of the
United States to feed the world
Whether there is a sufficient quantity Of wheat in
the country to allow of the export of forty millions
OF bushels in year, is question which it will be
difficult to determine except by the continuance of
the demand that has already largely swecd the
export The census return of 1850 stated the wheat
crop of that year at 104 $50 The export of that
year was but little eight millions of bushels,
and tho price advanced 20 cents. What the crop of
1858 cannot be accurately ascertaned, but tits
not supposed to have been greatly advance of that
of 1856. With export of twenty millions of BUSH
els in the first half of this year, the advance in price
has been somewhere about seventy per cent. And
this extreme advance has produced its effect in bring
ing in supplies from distant parts of the country that
were heretofore almost out of market and where the
of the crop has been consumed in various
ways. High prices have also, no doubt, materially
curtailed the home consumption in all parts of the
country the farmer selling much possible of
his crop, and the city consumer cutting down his
wants to the lowest possible point. The extension
of railroad facilities to parts of the country which,
few years ago were without them, has also opened
to the market new sources of supply. These causes
may explain the statements that come from the West
of the immense amounts of wheat stored there, and
justify the expectation that notwithstanding the large
winter delivery and the unprecedented export the
quantity coming forward this Spring will not be
sentially diminishedin comparison with former years
Basing our expectations on the continuance of the
war already commenced in Europe, and on the pro-
liability that the continental crop will be short one,
Black will
not to grow until that war is closed there is no rea
son to doubt that there will be continued and stea
dy demand for our cereal products during the whole
of the year. Speculation may have anticipated the
demand in the accumulation of immense stocks in
Europe, and advanced prices beyond what even the
most warlike aspect of affairs will justify, and for
this spectators may have to suffer loss where they
expected gain But, of the main fact that all the
surplus product of the country will be needed TO
supply the european deeiency and that the agri

WHAT BoMBSHELL CAN D0.--Round-shot
and shells were perpetually whizzing through
the air day and night, falling in all directions,
amongst and through the houses Of the city.
By night the shells assumed magnificent ap.
pearance, resembling so many shooting stars,
though, alas! far more formidable. One day q
number of us were viewing the scene of de.
struction from a battery erected on the summit
Of high hill. Whilst we anxiously observed
the amount Of damage committed by the shells,
there arose suddenly from the centre of the fort
what at first appeared to us huge mound Of
earth, which gradually increased in size until ii
resembled hill some six hundred feet in
height; then it almost imperceptibly changed,
and assumed the appearance of an excessively
dark thunder-cloud, which eventually spread
far and wide, concealing both fort and town
from our wonder-struck gaze. A few minutes
elapsed, and it entirely enveloped the high po-
sition we were occupying, although nine hun
dred yards from the explosion. This terrific
catastrophe originated in one of our shells for
tunately bursting into powder-magazine con-
tanning several tons of combustible ammuni.
ton. The sublime spectacle that ensued will
never be effaced from my memory nor, ina
CINE, from that Of any one who witnessed the
sight. For several minutes the atmosphere
continued very close, not even a breath Of wind
stirring, but death-like stiffness prevailed
precisely similar TO that which precedes q
Scinde dust-storm. All the guns ceased firing;
all eyes were directed upwards, gazing with
awe at the scene thus suddenly presented them.
Men even addressed each other in a whisper.

Row AMONG THE GENTLER SEx--Our worthy
alderman Farrar has no better luck than the
mayor. The women will occasionally get mp
difficulties for adjustment. Yesterday Miss
Sarah Redding came with complaint quite
scandalous against Mrs. Maria Sullivan. The
parties live on the south side Of the basin
but we don't see why that should allow their
tempers to get SO far north. Be that as it may,
Miss Redding alleged that Mrs. s. had beaten,
bitten, and burned (what q horrible allitera.
ton we have here y her. Unfortunately for
Miss r., however, her sister, Miss Bridget
Redding put her rather in the condition of ag-
gressor than aggrieved. Miss B. r. stated
that after her mothers death; she, Miss B. r.
rented Mrs. S. part of the house she occu-
pied, and not liking her sisters Miss s. R's)
Conduct, had requested her to remove her
trunk from the house, and of course herself
along with it. This Miss S. r. refused to do,
and Just at this point, Mrs. Sullivan entered
the field, and being woman of nerve, as we'll
as decision, she thrust the said trunk out and
Miss S. R. trying to remain, she was, by the
force of Mrs. Sullivan's arm, made to follow the
trunk. In view of this unfavorable state of the
case, Miss s. X. asked continuance to bring
in additional testimony, and Alderman Farrar
granted the request Rich. Despatch.

The San JacIntO Again.

SouTIAMPToN, ENG, Oct. 2, lS54.-We left
this port on the morning of the 9th ult. for
our cruize in the Baltic, the weather delightful,
and all hands anticipating pleasant cruise.
We passed Spithead and Portsmouth, going
nine knots; the best time we have made I;
entered the North Sea, and on Friday after
noon, 29th, made the mouth of the Texel
About $50 p. m, shock was felt which
brought all hands from below; but, strange to
say, was not felt on deck, although there was
q perceptible difference in the motion Of the
ship. Attention was attracted to the propeller,
and upon examination, one of the blades was
missing. 1t effected her speed very little, for
she still went about seven knots, and all hands
were much astonished to see the course Of the
ship altered, and in few minutes We were on
our way to this place, where we arrived this
morning about 10 q. m.
On the night of the 18th of September, our
main yard broke short off in the wings 1t
was fixed the day following, and our captain
considered it sufficiently strong for the cruise,
for he did not replace it when we were here
last. 1t is said now that that is the cause of
ourreturn. Humbug, presume. There being
no actual necessity. for our presence in the
Baltic, the captain did not wish to risk being
caught up there with defective propeller at
this season, for the ice might fall in here with
the remaining blades and they might take to
rowing. There is certainly a want Of conf.
dence among our naval officers towards steam
ers, and every accident is considered failure
of the whole affair. But why should this be
the case? We have seven engineers on board
who are, or ought TO be, competent to repair al
damages. Material can be had at almost any
port in England or Europe, and should a re
port of break downs be responded to with ''re-
pair and proceed on your cruise" they would
not be so frequent. In addition to the engi
neers, we have 36 Gremen and coal beavers
belonging, exclusively, to their department.
competent force, numerically, for good sized
machine shop.
Ii will take from three to FIVE weeks to repair
the propeller, and | presume the contractors
Merck L Son, Of Philadelphia,) will have TO
pay for il. Our cruise to the Baltic is over for
the season. After repairing, if no orders ar.
rive from the department, we will probably
visit the coast OF Spain, Gibraltar and the Is
lands, arriving in the States about April.

Captain Luce,s History.

We have collated from various the following
brief facts relative to the past history OF Capt
Luce, which we take pleasure in laying before
our readers:
James c. Luce was born al Rochester, Mass,
in the year 1906, and is consequently at this
time 4s years of age. At the age of sixteen
years he commenced his career as mariner,
and SO successful was he in all of the subordi-
nate positions he occupied, that before he was
u be was placed in command of a ship, and
from that time up TO 1850, he was very sue.
cessful commander. In that year. on account
of the eminence he had attained as skillful
navigator and able captain, he was invited to
the command Of the noble steamer Arctic. He
accepted the invitation, and obtained popu-
larity both for himself and that noble vessel,
seldom eqaalled and never exceeded and his
noble conduct subsequent to the recent calam-
ity, has crowned him with laurels which, in
coming years, viii remain ever green, and will
associate his name in the future with all that
is brave and selfsacrifcing.
In. Captain Luce's experience as COM
mander, he never met with an accident until
May last, when, as the Arctic was passing the
southern coast of ireland, on her voyage home,
the last previous TO this, she struck on the
Tuscar rock, but was speedily got of. Capt.
Luce, however, deemed it prudent to return to
Liverpool, in order that the full extent of the
damage might be ascertained. 1t was found
that the injury was slight, and she was enabled
to resume her voyage in few days.
Another singular fact connected with the
history Of the vessels which he commanded
prior to his taking the Arctic is, that seven out
of the nine were lost after he left them.
Captain Luce has been twice married The
FIRST time in 1888, to Miss Leonard, of Massa-
chusetts, who died in 1886, after having given
birth to his only remaining son, Robert, now
eighteen years of age, who is at present in
Troy engaged in studies to perfect himself in
engineering. In 1888 Captain Luce married
Miss Elizabeth Fearing, his present wife, and
the mother of little Willie, her only child, the
history Of whose sad fate has been fully pub
lished-N T. Times

congress OF american Nhisters IN Farls.
We present to our readers, for what il is
worth the following extract from the Paris press
OF September 30th
persons remark at this moment the collec.
tive presence in Paris Of no less than five or
six ministers Of the United States. These are
Mr.. Dudley Mann, under Secretary of State in
tho Washington cabinet; Mr.. Cass, minister at
Rome Mr.. Daniels, minister at Turin Mr..
O'Sullivan, minister at Lisbon; and Mr.. Bel
mont. minister at the Hague-without counting
the members Of the American legation at Paris.
To these diplomhtists we shall soon have 10
add, they say, Mr.. Buchanan, the minister at
London, with his first secretary, Mr.. Sickles,
whom he had lately sent TO Mr.. Soula, and we
are assured that these personages intend set
ting GA. shortly for Basic, where they mean to
hold conference Of some importance. The
subject TO be discussed is American policy in
general and Spanish affairs ia particular. Will
not such conference give the KEY 10 Mr.. Soule s
departure from Madrid, that has so much puz-
zled the Spanish press? AS we mentioned yes
terday, the rumor respecting the purchase Of
Cuba has found its way again into the Amer.
papers, and there is the question too, as usual,
about the annexation Of the Sandwich Islands.
Lastly. we believe we spoke at the time about
me project Of acquiring Russian America, and
of another project that would give America a
footing AT our very doors. We allude to the
acquisition Of Monaco, for which they say the
Washington cabinet is in treaty with the Sar
diniau government 1t is known that the Amer
leans have tolersbly good appetite OF Their
own, and that they endeayor 10 take advantage
Of circumstances. For the rest, we are assured
that ex planations have been officially demanded
At Washington.

The following beautiful lines from the Dublin
University Magazine will remind the reader Of
the lat scene 10 Dunyan's Pilgrims Progress:
Beyond the River.
Time is a river deep aud wide;
Aud while along H. hanks we stray,
We see our ioa'd ones Ger It's tide
sail from our sight away, away.
Where are eysped-ihey who return M
No more TO glad our longing eyes?
They've passed from LIES contractedA bourne
To land unseen, unknown, that lies
Beyond the river.
IT'S hid from view but We may guess
How beautiful that realm must be-;
For gleamings Of its loneliness,
In visions granted, of we see.
The very clouds that DER il throw
Their veil, unrais d for mortal sight,
With gold and purple tintings glow,
Reflected from the glorious light
Beyond the river
And gentle eirs, so sweet, so calm,
Steal sometimes from that viewless sphere;
The mourner feels their breath Of balm,
And soothed sorrow dries the tear; Fhg&y
And sometimes list'ning ear may gaiu
Enhancing sound that hither floats;
The echo of distant strain, g4
OF harps and voices blended notes,
ia m Beyond the river &
There are our ov'd ones in their rest
They've crossd Tines river-now no more.
They heed the bubbles on its breast,
Nor feel the storms that sweep its shore.
But there pure love can live, can last
They look for us their home 10 share
When we in turn away have passd,
What joyful greetings wait us there,
Beyond the river
