surrIvors Of the RevoIutIon.

The departure of the future King OF Great
Britain from our shores called forth from
the leading journals an unusual number of
aIlusions to the United States. The Satur-
dav Review has the finest article on the sub
iect. Strictly speaking, this fresh aud Wig
orons weekly is incorrect when it says, in
regard TO our separation from England,
that "tbe utmost period OF human lie. mas
more than elapsed since that fatal quarrel;
and the last man who fought in the war OF
Independence, or either side, has long been
in bis grave.' How many soldiers who
fought on the English side still survive, we
have no means Of knowing; but we may ap-
proxinately state the number OF our relics
Of the men who fought 10 the greatest war
$50 far as results are concerned) oil the
eighteenth century.
According to the last report of the Secre-
tary of The Interior, there were on the Both
Of June. 1858, two hundred and fity-lbree
revolutionary pensioners. Between that
time and the end of the last fiscal year,
June 80, 1859, one revolutionary soldier
was inscribed upon therolls at $50 per an
mum. Then we should have, If no deaths
had occurred, on the lst OF July, 1859, no
less than two hundred and ilty-four survi-
vors who bore their part either for long
or or q shorter time in our war OF lndepen
dence. But death deals suddenly and FREE
onentIy with men so aged, and therefore we
find that eighty-nine of them, more than
one third, died IN the twelve months elaps'
ing between July, 1858, and July, 1859.
There we're then, on July lst, 1889, but
1865 living, and probably to-day there are
m 90. Ma. xrh,, in the
period Of robust manhood can remember IN
their boyhood days that revolutionary sol
diers were even then old men. II We con
slider the battle Of Lexington, April 18Th,
1915, the inauguration Of our war OF lnde-
pendence. more than cighty-tivc years have
ELAPSED sncethe ''minute men" of Lexing-
ION were ordered by Major Pitcairn to dis
perse." IT is not probable that one OF those
minute men was then less than tweaty-one
years Of age
There is. we believe, no survivor of that
battle or skirmish, which proved so fatal to
the expedition under Pitcairn. Hon. Ed
ward Everett, in bis polished, eloquent aud
forceable oration atBoston, on the Fourth
of July this year, stated that not single
American soldier who took part in the
memorable battle Of Bunker Hill was still
living; but it appears that two men have
been found in New England, more than 100
yearsold, who were upon the rolls Of that
gallant band, which, uhder Warren, Pres
colt and "Old Put" gave the British such
a disastrous victory.
On the 10Th of April, 1883, just eight
years after the bloodshed at Lexington the
news of peace reached Washington's bead
quarters ut Newberg. This was more than
sevcnty-seven years ago; and tho rawest
recruit of drummer boy, who might have
been fifteen years Of age would now be
more than ninety.two. Five years more

The SIGHTs OF ONE LIFE, There is a

Standard, at present who would not like to
be called tery old, who has seen ten of our
fifteen Presidents of the United States, and
has also seen Henry Clay, Webster, John
G. Calhoun, Aaron Burr, Gen. Scott, Col
Crogan, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Wellington
and Queen Victoria. She sat in the chair
occupied by Queen Victoria, in Westmin-
ster Abbey, on the day Of her coronation,
and would have seen Louis Philippe, bad it
not been for the death of his sou at the
time. This is indeed very remarkable, and
we challenge any State, yea, even the Uni

so many of the learned and distinguished
personages both of England and America.

to put the Baron over the road in safety.

The GRAIN TRADE.-Everybody can
perceive the intimate relation between the
grain trade and the general business of the
city. When the price of wheat was from
seventy-five to ninety cents, every branch
of business was lively, and all felt encour-
aged, and when wheat got down to sixty
and sixty.Gve cents, no one could fail to no.
tice the difference.
In trip made to the country, a few days
since, we met dozen wagons loaded with
wheat, on their way to st. Paul, and on
our return in the evening, we met them
again, loaded down with stoves, bedsteads,
agricultural implements, groceries, dry
goods, &C., which the wheat had pur
chased
There will not be very large amount of
wheat brought into market where the prices
aremuch below seventy-fve cts. per bushe.
Farmers, if they are in debt, prefer to pay
interest until next spring, rather than to
sell for less price. Our buyers could ca
silly afford to pay the above price if it was
not for the low stage OF water and conse-
quent high rates of freight. Last week the
rate was only nine cents per bushel to Mill
waukee-now shippers have to pay fifteen
cents-tbe difference, of course, has to be
paid by The farmer.
st. Paul offers fine field for wheat buy.
ers of large capital, who are not under the
necessity of making immediate shipments
in order to get their returns to continue the
business, and we are inclined to think that
this is all that is wanted always excepting
a railroad) to make st. Paul the largest
grain depot above st. Louis. 1t has been
satisfactorily demonstrated, that we have
no lack of warehouses for storage for a year
or two, at least.
