Wheat Prospects.

The Chicago Tribune predicts an
advance in the price of wheat, and
gives the following reasons for It's
belief:
The English papers are just now
deep in the discussion of a very i'm
portant problem. The wheat crop OF
Great Britain was an ample one, and
SO much reduced during the fall that
prices declined rapidly, the down
ward course of the market being
made more extensive by the financial
stringency which followed locking
up much of the capital in October
and November last by the Now York
railroad rings. But the great drought
of the summer in the British Isle,
though favorable to the growth OF
wheat, operated most diastrously on
the root crops, and it is now found
that the farmers there have been
| feeding the wheat SO literally TO their
cattle and hogs as seriously to dimin-
ish the quantity on hand, thus making
the cold country" mach more depend
ent on us for the supply of the COM
ing summer than has heretofore been
deemed possible. Private advices
to this effect were received in our
mark OF recently, and the consequence
was q material advance in the price
OF wheat. 1t is not well TO be toe
sanguine, but the indications are thai
our grain owners will yet be REIN
bursed for the losses Oh the past si>
months by q considerable appreciation
OF this important cereal.

A Cheap Bath.

Sun bathes cost nothing, and are
the most refreshing. life giving baths
anyone can take, whether sick On
well. Every house~keeper knows
the necessity of giving her woolenr
the benefit of the sun from time u
lime, and especially after long
rainy season or long absence Of
the sun. Many will think OF the in
jury their clothes are liable to from
dampness, who will never rehecl
that an occasional exposure Of their
own bodies to the sunlight is equally
necessary TO their own health. The
sun baths cost nothing, and that is .
misfortune for people are still delu-
ded with the idea that those things
only can he good or useful which cost
money. Let it not be forgotten three
of Gods most benefcent gifts 10
man three things the most necessary
to good health-eunlight, fresh ali
and water-are free 10 all /; you can
have them in abundance, without
money and without price, ifyou will

thirst with no other fluid than colo

"Jots" for Congress.

Among the Jobs" which Congress
is asked 10 perform are tho following
An appropriation of SIS 600 900 foi
the Sutio Tunnel, gold mining en-
terprise.
A quarter of a million to subsidze
steamships.
Five millions to improve the New
FORK Harbor.
A Presidential palace to cost -four
or FIVE millions.
Four and half millions to com
pleto public bindings in Washington
Three and half millions subsidy
to the Commercial Navigation Com
pany.
Eight millions for Pacific Tele-
graph Cable.
More subsidies to the Pacific Rail
road, which has already received
from the Governm ent more than il
has cost.
Besides these, there are parties
urging the passage of land grant bills
by which empires of European di,
mansions would be given away
mainly for the profits OF individuals
The Hobbies swarm with the repre-
sentatives OF special class interests,
urging legislation for the benefit OF
the few against the many. The cop
per miners want the tariff on copper
made in effect prohibitory, SO that
their business may become profitable
The iron interests in Pennsylvani;
clamor for more protection. There
is proposition to have the Govern
ment buy or build telegraph lines ant
; do all the telegraph business of til,
country. Another proposition i
that it shall become the great cottel
; broker and buy all the cotton
grown in the country Behind eacl
of these schemes are adroit, plausi
Bile men, whose first, and chief ohjec
is to put money in their own purse:
And if by the of use money, or th

ing. and makes this reply to COM
mon objection: 1T ID said, again,
that extempore sermons would be
i'll worse. more empty and more
proftless than writing discours s.
But why should q spoken sermon be
extempore 1t would surprise mas
ny people, and the clergy in partic-
ular, if they knew how few of the
most effective speeches in Parlia-
ment are really delivered irppromptu
Great orators have generally pre-
pared their addresses with the most
scrupulous and laborious care. II
busy men can find time TO prepare
thus accurately q speech Of two Or
three hours, could lot a clergyman
find time, in the six days that inter-
vene between Sunday and Sunday
to prepare a half hour sermon with
eqnaI completeness ? If half an
hour be too much for the memory
aud thought of q beginner, by all
means let him be content TO com
mence with a quarter Of al hour
But that which was done under
great disadvantages by other speak
ers in other assemblies could be done
under great advantages by the cler'
". After all, if this suggestion
wer, adopted, it would be but the re-
turn to an old rule. The practice Of
reading sermons is we believe, Of
quite modern origin, and was never
thought of in the days when preach
ing was most active and successful.
