the south will suffer dctrimcnt This point claims u
careful investigation. Is such thing as sudden
supcrabundancc of slave labor possible? The ccono-
mist must answer.
Adam Smith says: a. The demand for those who
live by wages, Cor. in other words the dcmnlh 'o'
labor necessarily increases with the increase OF me
revenue aud stock of every country, ana cannot pos
sibly increase without il. The Increase ol revenue
and stock is the increase of national wealth Ih'
demand for labor therefore, naturally increases win
the national wealth aud cannot possibly increase
without IT," As to u sudden glut of labor, he OBJ
serves in substance At the conclusion ot every
war, more than one hundred thousand soldiers ana
sailors are at nt once discharged and 've see no W.
craton in the wages Of labor, nor in any other ,lW
tcular which the sudden influx might be expected to
effect" This, though not strictly parallel with the
case lin point, serves srikingly to illustrate the nj
most impossibility Of sudden supcrabunlancc of
labor.
Thomas Cooper observes "Thc demand must cN.

is it, then, that occasions the want of, the demand

IMPORTANT FROM UTAH.

By tclegraphic dispatches from St. Louis, of the
l7thinst we have Intelligence that express agent
from the Utah expedition at Camp Scott had arrived
at Fort Leavenworth with the announcement that the
Mormons had laid down their arms, and that Gov.
Cumming had entered Salt Lake City, on the invita-
tlon of Brigham Young without military escort.
Large numbers of Mormons had previously left The

Col. Kane, Of the Peace Commissioners, had arriy-
ed at Salt Lake City via California, on the 25th of
February.
Gen, Smith had not reached Fort Leavenwcrth
when the express arrived. 1t is presumed that fur

TALK OF THE ExPECrANT MASTERS. The
subjoined extract from the report of speech
delivered by Mr. Wade, of Ohio, in the Uni.
ted States Senate on the Lecompton Constitu.
ton, is something more than fair average
sample of the style in which the principal
Black Republican leaders lay down the law
which is to govern in future
He said that northern men who were true
to the traditions or their fathers, were as much
prescribed by the Government, as alien enc.
mics could be. But the south should under
stand that she has no strength in the north
but among the vagrants and olfscourings of So
ciety. The free laborers of the north he ex.
tolled they never would come down to the
level OF saves-of abject chattcls. 1t is true
there were in some Of the cities of the north,
degraded men, ignorant and vicious. But the
south should not despisc them, for it was those
ofl-scourngs OF society that were the corner
stone OF her political strength in the north
They were attached to southerners by SYM
pathy OF similar natures. Our views of Gov
ernment in the north, continued the Senator.
are as antagonistic, with reference to those of
the south, as they can we'll be. Tie did not
know what would be the end of this contro.
versy. Referring to the Texas resolutions re-
lative to Kansas, he said, that for one, he
wonld not vote any more supplies whatever to
that State until she apologized or gave sat
isfactory explanation for those resolutions
He had no apprehension Of n dissolution of
the Union. Such consummaton needed
something more than conventions and stronger
measures than resolutions. The north and
south were welded forever; there could be no
divorce of the south from her Master and her
Lord and she had to make the best of bad
bargain"

The Belle Plain Enquirer speaks well Of
the crops in Scott and lie Sueur counties:
During the time Of the late rains, our far
mers began to feel alarmed on account OF

over anxiety even went so far as to state
that they believed their crop was already
affected by that disease. ..- -ss8.
But since fair weather has returned once
more, they have fortunately discovered that
the only symptoms Of the evil existed in their
imagination. ..... t# ".
True we have seen number Of the "iol-
lowers Of the plow," who said that the " rot
was in his neighbours potatoes" but we have
not seen one who has discovered 1t 10 his.
When we take the weather Of the season
into consideration we must say that our
grain crop Is an extra one, while the corn,
buckwheat and other products look exceed.

The Hastings Daily Ledger gives the fol-
lowing results Of several experiments made
with different kinds of wheat
None farmer Mr.. s. Caletf, Of Nininger,
WI urged by his neighbors to use no seed
last season but the Canada Club Wheat,
and with them he only got about 10 bushels
to the acre. Mr.. Henry Sprague, Of Spring
Lake, who had tested the various kinds,
used the tea Wheat, and had an excellent
crop, averaging 20 bushels to the acre all
his neighbOrs they think will use that next
year. DIR. Cummings, Of this place, who
has given the subject OF agriculture some
attention, from his observations on the wheat
culture for number of years, chose the Rio
Grande variety Of wheat TO seed his farm |;
from this he secured crop estimated at Is
bushels to the acre. The last two are re-
ported impervious to the injurious agencies
affecting this cereal. We have heard Of
yields OF 80 bushels and over to the acre,
while another kind on an adjoining farm
yielded only about ten bushels. This shows
the advantage Of good seed.

quinn she had daughter, aged nine months,
the child died shortly after the death Of It's
father. In the year 1880 she also had the
misfortune to lose her sou, and her grief
was embittered by the conduct Of her late
husbands brothers, Don Antonio aud Don
Brantio de Montijo, who ordered her to
leave their late brothers house, she having
no right To call herself his widow, having
by her infamous conduct necessitattd q d.
vorce. She refused TO leave her house.
Proceedings were instituted before the
Corregidor OF Arevallo, Don joaquin BE.
neito, who delivered his sentence on the 10th
Of June, 1897, that whereas divorce had
been pronounced in France In 1913, il had
not been annulled by after cohabitation /;
consequently, in fault Of heirs direct, she
must restore the property Of Don Joaquin
de Montijo to his brothers, Against this
sentence she went to the Royal Chancery Of
Valiadolid, and after many months litiga-
tion the original judgment was quashed.

was pronounced in foreign country, then

had been annulled by the ultimate remorse
Of the parties, declares Donna Maria enti.

her late husband, TO revert TO his brothers

Now, dates are troublesome things. The
French Monitew Of the 4th June last an
nouncei that the Empress Eugene had
attaired her thirty-second year on the pre-
ceding day, and had received the congratu.
lations Of her friends on the occasion. Ac.
cording to the Official Moniisur, therefore,
the Empress Eugenie was born on the 30
Of June, 1896, and according TO the undis.
puted testimony Of registers and other doc
umentary evidence, her father died Oh Octo-
Der 30, 1898, from the effects Of a fall from
his horse. These things doubtless admit Of
explanation, but none has yet been given.
Indeed, the French Gazette de Ti,bunaur Of
September 81, 1881, which contains the
verbatim report Of this cause esiebrs, has
been forcibly distracted by Imperial ukase
from the files Of that Journal, which are kept
for reference in the reading rooms. ,
