The Wheat Prospect.

All statistical information on the sub
ject of the wheat prospect of the world
point to the important fact that the
United States is the only country able
to supply the unprecedented demand
for wheat this year in nearly all Euro
pean countries. The returns of the i'm
ports of Great Britain to September
Both show that the gross value OF the
imports of wheat for nine months is
about 500, 900, 900, of which the United
States supplied $40, 600, 900 worth. The
proportion of wheat from Russia has
fallen from 100000 to 7,000,00O
hundred weights, as compared with that
of 1872, while that received from the
United States has increased from 5,0O0,-
600 to 100000 hundred weights.
Wheat is usually exported from the
north cf France, but this year it will
have to be imported, and the ilnporta-
tions of the south of France will be
largely increased. Germany, Hungary
and Southern Russia are also deficient
in their crops, and that European deal
ers have accepted the returns as thor
oughly reliable, may be judged from
the fact that their exports from New
York alone, during the fourteen days
ending October 9th, were 3,508, 1863
bushels, an amount unparalleled in the
history of that port. On the other
hand, the receipts of wheat at Milwau-
kee and Chicago have been largely in
creased, the receipts at the former
place of the present crop being 1885,
no bushels, against 5,044, 805 bushels
for the same period in 1872.

Loss of a Continent.

Plato sent down to posterity tradi
tion of his day that great continent
which occupied the space now covered
by the Atlantic ocean suddenly sunk
down out of sight. He further SAYS
that it was an island called Atlantis. On
it were kingdoms and organized govern
ments, wealth, arts and civilization, IN
stantly lost to human sight. 1t is now
the opinion of the leading geolog1sts-
those most advanced in science-that
the American continent appeared when
the Atlantic waters rushed into the en-
ornous cavity or depression on the
earth's surface now filed by salt water.
The Rocky mountains were then the
rough bottom of an ocean which rose
with marine plants, shells and other
products of an aquatic origin, that are
found abundantly strewed there, and in
fact, all over North and South America.
Remnants of Atlantis, the submerged
continent, are believed by some scien-
fists to be recognized in the Adrion-
dacks, the White mountains of Maine,
and a few other out-croppings belong
ing to the other boundaries of that de-
luged and forever lost country. There
is no knowing what astounding discov-
cries may yet be made in coming ages
corroboratiYe Of Plato's nGryatiye.

And list to the dirge of the sad sea repiniDg;
All here let me rest, darling, close by thy grave
have wandered afar, but the world has seemed
dreary,
Ger its mountains and valleys, and Arabia the
blessed
I have sailed DER wild mains, and now, lone and
weary,
come to thy grave. On! ! here let me rest.
Weary darling, with long years Of waiting,
Ever true to our VOWS, cur first love kept;
I've been dead to the world toits partings and meet
ings,
To its joys to its sorrOwsi al here let me sleep:
What was this that heard while, enfolded in slum-
Der,
Ilay on the grave where my darling was laid?
There was gathered around me a throng of vast
number.
And among them my darling was you, still maid
Then you knet by my side, and called me your dar-
ling.
And said you had come to drive sorrow away,
And you bade me arise, and no more, a starting,
Repeat the same tale again day after day.
Yon bade 60 join n life's love and lifes labor,
To comfort the weary, to help the oppressed,
To think less of myself to think more of my neigh

To live to do good. and in this to find rest.
Yes, here will rest. And, when life's ftful fever
Is over, III join thee, to part nevermore.
Ill cease from my wanderings; in my dream a be-

The "Gem of the Sea-"

AS seen by the tourist, Ireland is a
most beautiful country, possessing eve
ry varietyof surface and soil, from rug
ged mountains to lovely valleys and ex-
pansive plains. The streams are everyS
swift running. For so small territory
lakes. With the exception of one or
two in Switzerland, there are larger
lakes in Ireland than can be found else
where in Europe. The Shannon is a
larger river than any in Great Britain,
and navigable for long distance. The
harbors are among the finest in the
world. The climate is remarkably
temperate and equable. Many plants
in England, flourish in open air in Ire
land, while the great moisture which
prevails is so favorable to vegetation
that the country is carpeted in almost
perpetual green. This verdure extends
to the mountain tops where there is a
particle of earth, and on the sea shores
right down to where the ocean breakers
dash upon the rocks. From what / had
heard before visiting Ireland l sup
posed it was nearly treeless country.
But such is not the case. Every rod
square almost, which is unfit for Guilt
vation, is covered with trees. Trees
abound on the mountains, and on the
steep hill-sides, and along many of the
roads and lanes; and they may be seen
everywhere standing singly or in
clumps. Where one tree is seen in Hi
nois, from the windows of the train,
fifty may be seen in Ireland. The
hedge-rows add greatly to the beauty of
the landscape. The foliage of the thorn
is a very dark green, and those live
fences can be distinguished for long
distances, subdividing the whole face of
the country into squares like those on a
chess board.

THE OCEAN CABLES. The time Of
grace having expired, the government
Of Newfoundland has announced that IL
will foreclose the mortgage which, by
the terms OF the charters extended 10
the ocean cGble companies, il holds up
on the properties and business of the
cables when their charters expire. The
matter has been made political ques-
ton in the province, and the cable
stockholders have used every effort 20
elect men favorable TO regranting their
charters, but without success. The pas
sage of the cable monopolies into tho
hands of the government OF .'ewfound-
land opens the way for competition in
ocean biography, and makes the re-
duction in prices certainty. The
terms of the charters give the cables TO
the government at their actual value,
which is estimated at 100000, and
the purchase will be favorable one, for
the business pays a dividend upon a
million dollars of stock.

Bright Side People.

The propensity to make the best of
things is generally found in combination
with those smaller virtues which are
more annoying to ones neighbors than
most vices. The man who rises at five
every morning, who always ties up his
letters with red tape, and who is con-
vinced of the great truth that it is bet
ter to be half an hour too early than
half minute too late, is frequently
given to making the best of things.
The duty of doing so is moral maxim
just big enough for him to understand.
He probably reflects upon it in the early
morning at the time when his cold bath
is bringing ont that glow, physical and
moral, which makes him an offence to
all weaker vessels during the rest of the
day. The ruddy, jovial person who
gets himself up after the country-gen
tleman type, or the more unctious vari-
ETY. of popular preacher, is apt to be
perspiring this doctrine at every pore.
It is pleasure to him to meet some
body in distress upon whom he may
discharge boisterous comfort through
his favorite aphOrism, as tire-engine
sends cold water through hose. If he
acquires some dim consciousness of the
fact that his kind exhortati )ns sound
like bitter mockery to his victims, it
only increases his sense of virtue. They
cannot comfort themselves under the
loss of a wife by the reflection that
they still have several first cousins, and
money enough to pay for handsome
monument. That only proves that they
have not studied so we'll as he the great
art of properly directing their senti-
ments. For of course he will deny in
the most pathetic manner that he would
ever advise anything like self-deceit. |
He does not avowedly ask sufferer to
profess that q toothache is rather a
pleasant distraction than otherwise he |
only recommends him to fix his atten- |
ton upon his great toe or some other |
remote part of his body which may ap- |
pear to be enjoying good health. And,
in fact, there are some people so envia- |
bly, constituted that small pleasant OBJ |
ject elevates them more than great un- |
pleasant object depresses them. They |
are people, so to speak, of small spe- |
cifc gravity, who cannot be submerged |
without heavy burden of melancholy. |
The person who makes the best of |
things processes to be of this tempera-
ment. It is not, he would have you be- |
lieve, that he does not sympathize with |
grief, but that his constitutional buoy |
ancy makes sympathy with him compat-
ible with exhileration he does not de- |
ny the existence of evils, but the small |
est grain of good makes him happy,
Just as half glass of wine makes some |
men drunk. There are, we say, such |
people as these-men, if we may coin a |
word, easily intoxicable. But we are |
inclined, as rule, to vehement sus-
picion in both cases. The man who is
upset by the first glass has generally |
had certain number of glasses before,
and the man who makes the best of |
things is generally helped to be serene
either by the absence of strong feeling |
or by the want of courage to look at

first struck on the mountain in 1852.
Although the hole is pierced through
the mountain, much yet remains to be
done before it can be put into complete
order for trains. The tunnel is : miles
in length, the section of road to which
it belongs being 45 miles in length, ex-
tending from Greenfield. on the Con-
necticut river, to the northeast corner
of the state. The total cost of the
road and tunnel to the state is estima-
ted at $12, 2,38O,OOO, which will be in
creased several hundred thousand dol
lars by miscellaneous expenses before it
is ready for trains. The direct connec-
tions with the tunnel, east and west,
make up a continuous line of road from
Boston to Troy on the Hudson, and this
opens a second line of communication
from Massachusetts to the west, the
other being the Boston and Alabama
route.

THE STAR or ERRE-During the
past two years, San Francisco, Chicago
and st. Louis have made considerable
progress in the import trade, and tho
enterprise which they have exhibited in
the matter Of direct commerce bids fair
to assume large proportions in the fu-
ture. Especially is this the case with
San Francisco, whose imports, last year,
amounted to $50, 422, ,6O4, and whose ex-
ports exceeded S39, 900, 900. IL is said
that the hold of New York upon tho tea
trade is failing, and that the trade Is
fast concentrating to the Western cities
by railroad. Under certain conditions,
the whole Asiatic trade will take the
same course. But the leading interest
in the foreign trade OF the Atlantic
ports is and always will be the commerce.

A Wonder.

It is really a great wonder (writes DIR.
Hall) that everybody is not dead and
buried, and the world itself used up
entirely, if the thousandth part of what
is told us about microscopical and other
discoveries, so called, is true. Ore
man has discovered myriads of insects
(gregarines) in the chignons of the Ia
dies, boring into their skulls and suck
ing out all their remaining brains OF the
dear creatures. A German sdUdn now
tells us that every sip of tea we take is
full of oily globules which gets into the
lungs direct, weaken them, set up a
cough, and the person dies of consump-
tion. Another man has found that the
purest spring water, clear as crystal to
all appearances, if let alone, will dep osit
a sediment, which generates typhoid
fever hence he proposes that every
body shall leave off drinking water. An
other says that the bread has so much
lime in it that il is turning us all to
bone, and makes us stiff in the joints,
that being the reason that we have no
1.-THE, sprightly old men nowadays
hence we are full of rheumatic pains
long before our time therefore we had
better leave off bread altogether, and
live on rice, and sago, and tapioca.
Some folks assure us that pork and ham
are full of abominable trinchide, and
that, if one is swallowed and gets fairly
nestled into the system, it will breed a
million more in a short time.
And here comes other philosophers,
laden with microscopes and spy-glasses
which show as plain as day that the air
is swarming with living monsters,
which fly into TIE mouth, and crawl up
the nose, and creep into the ear hence
it is death to breathe such pestilential
air, and that the best way is to keep the
mouth shut, plug up the nose, and ram
cotton into the ears.
Ever so many learned professional
gentlemen have undertaken to prove
that everybody is either crazy or soon
shall be that the annual increase of
crazy people is ten per cent, conse-
quently in eleven years everybody will
be crazy.
The fact is, that the people who spend
their time in Matching these vagaries,
ought to be put to work and be made to
earn an honest living. This world has
been pretty we'll taken care of for some
thousands of years, increasing in COM
fort, and wealth, and life, the average
length of which last las doubled within
two centuries, and the population in
creased perhaps three-foid and the
presumption is that the great Maker of
all will SO arrange the various antago-
nistic forces of life for the future as
eventually to make the wilderness
and the solitary place to be glad, and
the desert to rejoice and blossom as the
rose" and the race be happy still.

The Completion of the Hoosac Tunnel.

The great Hoosac tunnel, after twenty
years of labor and the expenditure of
twelve millions of money, is at last
completed, at least sufficiently to let
daylight pierce through the mountain.
1t was, undoubtedly, a source of relief
and special thanksgiving to the people
of Massachusetts, when it was announced
that the last section of stone had been
blown out. While it has been triumph
of enterprise and skill, its history is
marked by many acts of
and ignorance, and the eff
forts of its friends to obtain legislation
developed the most corrupt lobby the
state has ever know. The spade was

PRoPosED TUNNEL BETWEEN SCOTLAND
AND IRELAND. For many years there
have been projects, more or less, before
the public for uniting Scotland and Ire
land by means of tunnel and tho
scheme has recently been again put for

reasonable probability Of is being car
ried out. A single line tunnel, fifteen
feet wide st the base, twenty-five feet AZ
the maximum, and twenty-one feet high,
the side walls of which would vary
from four TO seven fee in thiclness is
estimated by the present projectors 10
cost nearly 500, 900, 900, with the appro-
aches. The length Of the tunnel would
be about twelve miles, and il would ex.
tend from point on the north shore OF
Ireland, near Belfast, under the Irish
Sea, TO the extremity of the peninsual
opposite, in Scotland,
