CORN AND WHEAT.

The advice is given (says the Balti-
more SUM by those familiar with the
state of the grain production OF the
country to raise Indian corn. 1t is
urged that the amount of wheat al
ready exported this year has been very
largely increased, whilst that OF corn,
in consequence Of the scarcity, has do
creased in a still greater proportion
The wheat crop, therefore, cannot be
likely this year to come into contact
with the corn, as was the case last year,
and therefore the price of the latter will
undoubtedly be renumerativc over any
other crop that can now be put in. The
returns of the exports of breadstnfis
from New York from January LIST to
April Isti in the past three years tell the
tale. So far in 1870 the exports of
wheat have amounted to 2,l0l 1884 BUSH
els, against 2.030,96 in same period OF
1859. and TIC, 52S in like period Of 1865.
while thoss CT corn have been only &c.
253 bushels in 1870, against 1894 In
the same period of 1869, and 2.227 .G54 in
the like period of 1868. Only 1887
\ barrels Of corn meal have been export
Nd from New York since January lst

THE REVISED BIBLE.

A London correspondent Of the Tri-
buHe says:
The new edition of the Bible long
talked of, with what is called the Speak
er's Commentary, is under way, anu
the prospectus OF it has been pat forth.
Ii one may Judge from the advertise
ment. this is TO he an effort to contract
the kIndof influence viii n scientific
teaching has rad upon the Biblical cos
mogony. upon some of its historical
narratives, and so on, 1t used TO be
the distinguishing claim of Protestant
tism that It dared pat the Bible in the
hands of the people without note or
comnent of any kind. Now, we are
told the want OF a plain explanatory
commentary has long been felt. and
1.-THE great object ofsuch commentary
must be TO put the general reader IN
full possession of whatever Information
may be requisite to enable him to un-
derstand the Void of G Tod; to give him
as far as possible, the same advantages
as the scholar, and supply him with
satisfactory answers to objections rest
ing upon representation its con-
tents" The keynote of the new COM
mentary will. imagine, be found in
the clause above, The present attempt
grew out OF suggestion of the honor
eble and pious Speaker otthe House OF
Commons in 1853. In conjunction with
a number of she principals bishops, he
has organized the work.
