Wheat.

The WInona Republican says the
amount OF wheat awaiting shipment
Il that pnint is ia 1913 bushels, and
-four 9 O20 barrels. The flour is
equivalent to 45 $50 bushels Of wheat,
making a grand total of 759 $50
tn .hels. The Republican says:
AS compared with last year, this
exhibit shows a remarkable increase
in the amount of grain awaiting ship
ment at the opening of navigation.
The total amount of wheat then in
store, both in this city aud at all the
points on the Winona and st. Peter
Railroad above enumerated, was but
2ll,784 bushels-only a little over
one. fourth of that now reported in
store in the same places. This in~
crease will probably hold good
throughout the State. On the first
day of April. 1868, there was in store
at the various shipping points on the
Minnesota rivers, according to re-
ports received direct from CORES
pondents Of the Republican, 83l, 034
UuSH0lS. mere are now III SIOFe, we
venture TO affirm, at the same points,
an aggregate of not less than three
million bushels"
In this connection we may add a
few statistics in regard to British inn
ports: In 1868 the total amount
paid by Great Britain was 922, 000,-
600, as compared with eos, 900, 900 in
1867 and G13,000, 900 in 1866. She
took 96,300,000 worth from Russia
last year, against 99,750,000 in 1867
and "a, 100000 in 1866 From Prus~
STA she bought 93,35O,0O0 in 1868,
compared with GA, $50, coon 1867 and
e2,800,000 in 1866 And from the
United States she purchased e4,390,-
900 worth, as compared with e3, $50 :
900 in 1867 and 9375, 900 in 1866
1t will thus be seen that while the
import from other countries has fall
en- away, that from America has
steadily increased. The indications
are that America is yet to become as
royal in breadstutfs as it once was in
cotton.

Raising the Dead.

Arrangements were made by the
friends Of the condemned murderer,
Gerald Eaton, to have an effort made
to resusciate the body According
ly, committee appointed for the
purpose, were in waiting at the pris
on at the time of the execution, and
the body, wrapped in blankets, was
brought to the University. The
drop was four feet the cord around
the neck was small one. He hung
by the neck thirty minutes, and
there were signs of life only four
minutes after the drop. Ten minutes
after being cut down he was placed
upon the table in the amphitheatre,
the tinao elapeing from tho execution
being forty -four minutes. Six ounces
of whisky were injected into the
bowels, and one gallon of pure oxy-
gen gas was forced into the lungs,
and powerful galvanic battery APP
piled to the medulla oblongata and
the pit of the stomach. At the same
time the tongue was withdrawn from
the mouth, and the body turned from
side to side, the method of Marshal
Hall, for artificial respiration. In
four or five minutes q marked change
occurred in the countenancc the
chest gradually expended, the eyes
opened, one arm was drawn up, and,
by means Of a stethoscope, contrac>
tions and citations of the heart were
distinctly heard. So evident were
the signs of life that his friends ex.
ulted over the fact that he really liv-
ed Another gallon of oxygen was
introduced into his lungs, and the
battery was SO changed that the cur
rent passed the entire length of the
spine, and the artificial respiration
continued. For few moments the
signs of life increased, but in short
time disappeared. Nitrous oxide
gas was injected into the lungs by
an artificial opening into the trachea
made by Professor Duffee, but all tt
no purpose, and at the expiration o
one hour and twenty FIVE minutes
the experiments ceased, and the body
was handed over to his friends

The London Times of Mr.. Motley's APP
polntment.


!
Mr.. Motley will come TO country
which be knows, and where he il
we'll known. He is no stranger il
Europe, like many of the home bred
political men of the United States
who first form a real acquaintance
with The Old World when they visit
it in an official capacity. Mr.. Mot
ley's feelings toward England are, no
doubt, those of most educated Amer
leans. A man in whom the histori~
cal sentiment is strong, and large
part of whose life has been spent in
Investigating the past, can hardly
fail to be in some sort we'll disposed
to the old country. This tendency
is naturally strengthened by knowl-
edge of English society, and the re-
membrance of many cordial friend
ships. Mr.. Motley's reputation as a
distinguished man of letters, no less
than his diplomatic position, will in,
sure him hearty welcome in this
country nor is there any type of
Minister whom we would receive
more gladly than the historian and
the scholar. Mr.. Motley, however,
would be the first TO admit that IN
him we must recognize one who has
decided opinions on the matters in
dispute between US and the Ameri-
cans. Whatever may be his social
or historical prepossessions, he is, as
far as actual politics are concerned,
a thorough representative of the
Northern Republicans. As the in
tentions of President Grants Gov
eminent are as yet secret, even if
any have been formed, it is useless
to speculate upon the turn of affairs.
The Convention which has been cons
cluded between the two countries
awaits the decision of the new Presi.
dent and the Senate, which have not
yet formally decided upon it. Sup
posing it to be set aside, and nego-
tlations to be renewed at some for
mer time, we may expect to End in
Mr.. Motley an earnest and uncomo
promising supporter of the opinions
which are said 10 be dominant among
his countrymen. In the matter of
the Alabama claims his principles
and conduct are not likely to be al
loyed by any weakness for MS.
We have nothing to complain of
in this, and are, indeed, disposed to
prefer dealing with a nation through
Minister who represents it prevail
ing impulses Such man may be
more harsh and exacting in nego
tiation, but when the business is con
Guided there is at least the satisfac>
zion that it is likely to prove a real
seitly ment Ia other respects Mr..
Motley will probably prove Minis
ter of an order veIy unlike Il evardy
Johnson We shall lose genial and
interchangeable 7peechmaker, hut shall
gain in exchange, a gentleman who
will be understood on both sides of
the ocean to say only what the great
mass Of his countrymen really
means.

The Power of Saint Nicholas.

A Paris correspondent, speaking
of the patron saint of maidens desir-
ing husbands, and the high regard
Which ispaid to him in France, re-
lates the following illustration of his
power
Some months since, o maiden in a
village not far from Paris, finding
years stealing away and no sutton
for her hand appearing, bought a
plaster statuette Of st. Nicholas,
placed it at the head of her bed, and
night and morning addressed fervent
applications to it to send her sui
table help meet. Months went by
without bringing lover. The 9TH
er day her stock of patience became
exhausted. She lost all confidence
in the saint. Taking the statuette
by the nape of the neck she threw it
into the street, calculating, $50 to
the d-p AS she threw out the
statuette a young man happened to
be passing under the window He
was hare.Headed. The statuette tell
on his pcll, and not only stunned
him, but, as it broke to atoms, cut
his scalp severely Blood poured
profusely forth He straightway
went TO an attorney and brought
suit against the person who had
wounded him. He asked heavy
damages. He did not see the defen>
dant TO the suit until she appeared
10 court. Her person and mein made
a deep impression on him, and he
asked leave to withdraw his suit
She, delighted by this termination of
legal proceedings which had looked
threatening to her, was very gra-
cious to him, and they walked home
from the court house in company
HI asked leave to visit her. He
soon asked for her hand, and they
were married without delay.

A Temperate Error.

President Haven remarks in an
article nrthe ADVOCATE:
|, The cause Of temperance won. its
greatest victories when the sin anu
danger of rum drinking were most
faithfully exposed, and the most
deeply felt by the people. Now it is
the custom of advocates of temper
ance to lay out their strength in de.
nouncing the seller of rum, and in en-
deavoring to prevent the sale by the
enforcement of law. Practically
speaking, the drinker is regarded as
an innocent man, the victim of his
own appetite, and Of the craft, avarice
and malignity of the rum seller. The
rum seller is the black or yellow
bioated poisonous spider; the drinker
is the poor, innocent, unsuspicious fly,
goaded on By an irresistible instinct
which his Creator or some other pow
or, has implanted within him.
| have heard many temperance ad.
dresses within few years, but have
not been so fortunate as to hear one
that exposed fearlesssly the crime of
getting drunk. The Incorporate
man has been held up as victim Of
appetite, as a weak man. as q good,
whole souled fellow liable to be led
astray-- wonderful geniuses have been
referred to, poets, statesmen, orators,
and even clergymen, that succumbed
to the willy arts of the rum seller
but the positive guilt of swallowing
the poison has not once been sharply
and powerfully portrayed Is this
right ? Is the rumseller any worse
than other men who do business for
money without regard to the moral
effect of their occupation on the COM
munity So far as | have observed,
real rum sellers are generally weak
err, and therefore less wicked than
rum drinkers. They are usually of
a low grade of intellect and moral
sense. They are unwilling to die,
ashamed to beg, and have small cap
ital to trade with, and are not
troubled with what men call heart
or conscience, and sell rum for the
same reason that our farmers raise
hops-because it will pay. These
hop growers are good men why not
the rumselIers p? They do not trouble
themselves to look after consequences.
They say at takes two to make
bargain. Nobody needs to buy UNI
less he wishes to. If he buys he does
it of his own free will and he is re-
sponsible for his own act"
[ am not inclined to apologize for
this fraternity, but one thing is
pretty certain-if there were no rum
drinkers there would be few rum
sellers. Another thing is about as
certain-so long as large part Of
the people are not unwilling to
drink, SO long in some way or other,
they will be able to get liquor. The
root Of the tree is not seIling-it is
not manufacturing-iti is drinking"

n@. Andrew Johnson's visit to
Memphis, Tenn, gave chance to
the gamins of that city which they
were not slow to improve. The
newsboys selected one of their num-

and pushed him through the grinning

dignity of his position and assuming
a gravity that did credit to him, he
