WHEAT AND PHYSICAL 7 IG-
OR.

Nothing is more sure in tho chem
istry of life than that great bread
eaters are the great thinkers, or that
the PHOSPHORUS which wheat con-
talns in the or ter kernel, Immediate
ly beneath the hus k, is the feeder of
brains, aud he material substance
which provokes to thought, study,
rea son, aud all the forms of nervous
energy.
There arephysiologists who attrib,
ute the remarkable success of States
like Ohio. Indiana ard Illinois to the
bountyand perfection of the wheat
crop, and the intellectual stimu us,
or rather food, which it affords the
brain. Certainly NO commonwealth
in the world has evinced higher
sense of law and order,or moro rapid
ly developed social system which
las hardly an equal in the world.
The constitution of Indana, for in
stance, the very center Of the
wheat zone,ls b"yond comparison, the
best in the Union, produces the
highest results in our civilization.
There ia Southern wheat belt,
which includes Australia and parts Of
Southern America, where civlliza
ton equal to that of the Genital
North of the United States is grow
lug up. But the full value Of wheat
as civalizer will never be fully re-
allied until wheat meal takes the
place of boltcd -four, and the people
learn to make bread without yeast or
raisings. Good bread is emphatic

mercial article is the way to dyspep-
ia and premature death. -Scie1ce

There is sad enough need Of the

each day to the splendid buildings
which overloo k the city of Zurich
the first fountain Of learning in the
republic 4 thousand women toll
from sunset till late evening in the
narrow lanes below. dragging heavy
hand carts, staggering under large
burdens balanced upon their heads,

shoveI-in short, performing the
most mental service that the lowest
class of male laborers are condem
cd to do IN America. | have often
seen two Slender woman saving oak
and ash wood in the street, while a
stout fellow stood by leisuriy split
ing the sawn sticks. One poor old
creature, the other day, sat upon the

ed between her knees, and in utter
weakness as rubbing the stick
of wood upon it TO saw it in two.

THE CONTEST IN PRUSSIA,

Win the German Empire obtain
ed its complete victory over France,
one ofthe great objects of Bismarck's
life was accomplished; bus there was
another that he desired, and that was
the subserviency of Church to State.
The ascendency which Germany had
gained gave Bismarck the desired OPP
portunity, and he was not long in
enforcing his vigorous policy. The
Emperor, with the majority Of his
Cabinet, was not willing 10 adopt
Bismarck,s extreme measures, and
various means were taken to avoid
them. But Bismarck insisted upon
the adoption of his policy entire and
unqualified. and when this was re-
fused he resigned his place in the
Prussian cabinet, but retaiued his
position as Chancellor ofthe Empire.
Mar Jhal Won Room was appointed
In his place. Won Rooms policy
was not satisfactory to the country,
and he failed to produce an amicable
settlement Of any Of the great ques-
lions in which the government is In
volved.
During his retirement Bismarck be-
came allied with the Liberal party,
and the success which ey have had
in the recenl elections has led to the
dismissal OF Won Room from the cab
met, and the restoration of Prince
Bismarck to power, as the head of the
Prussian Minlstrv. This proves
that the German government has Civ
en- up all hopes of harmonizing with
the Catholic Church; and an agrees
siue policy will now be pursued.
The German Empire is the strong
est and most thoroughly consolida
ted government of our day, and it
seems likely now that he contest
will be carried to the bitter end.

RAILWAY LEASE.
THE NORTHERN RAILWAY SECURED
BY THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL
RAILWAY.


from Milwaukee Sentinel Nov 10.
On saturday afternoon the stock
holders Of the Milwaukee & Northern
Railway, after a negotiation Of sever
al days, leased their road 10 the Wis
consin Central Railway Company fol
a period of 500 years. The lease is
to take effect Oh the first Of next
month, and WI undoubtedly effect
quite change in the future operation
of the line.
The railways have 325 miles of
road completed, and when the extern
sion TO bayfield, is finished it will
make the number Of miles under con
troll of the Wisconsin Central about
475. The Offices Of the Central
Railway will soon be removed from
Chicago TO this city, and it is not i'm
probable that new and independent
line will be built between this city
and Chicago, to enable the Company
to connect with the Michigan Cent?,
al, road that as vet has no connec-
ton beyond Chicago.
This lease by the Milwaukee Con-
struction Company will prove Of
great advantage TO this city. BY
It's contamination we have another
railway centering here, and, possibly
may be favored with a third connec-
ton with the East. Both lines
traverse new and fertile sections OF
the State, and will add materially to
the commercial interests of Milwau-
kpe.
Gardner Colby, Esq, President of
the Central Railway, Mr. Abbott
Treasure, and Nj. Phillips, of the
Construction Company, were parties
to the lease, and left for their homes
on Saturday. Judge Reed, Vice
President Of the Central Railway,
was also of the party TO the lease.
He started for home this morn
Jig.

TREASURER SPINNER ON
CHE FINANCES.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4

| w ASHINGTON, NOV f.
Treasurer Spinner, in his 18th
annus report, says that tt falling
of in receipts for the past year fer
customs amounts to 500, $50. 76A,
and from internal revenue $l6.Sls,-
1856, while the expenditures are largo
ly in excess ofthosc of the previous
years. These facts combined make
an interesting subjec' for refecr ION.
The study will make a good guide
if not warning to Congress, as we'll
as to administrative officers, as to
the courseto be pursued in the flu
ture. Either taxation must be in
creased. which can't be thought of,
or appropriations must be kept be-
low receipts, otherwise the rapid re
ductiou of the debt will be arrested
if not abandoned. The Treasurer
says few, if any, believe he value.o
circulating medium, as fixed law,
stands at an amount, which is exact
ly right,It must be Obvious to all
who have an interest ia, and who
have watched the course of business
and financial returns of the coun-
try, that there are many times when
the real wants ofthc country der and
that there shauld be an increased
currency. and that there are other
times whenthe safety of all legitsmate
business requires that :. it shsuld be
largely decreased. What is really
nseded is currency so flexible as at
all time to accommodate tbs business
wants of tbs whole country.
After arguing the question the
Treasurer says: ''For existing no.
torions evils remedy is to be found
and interposed; which remedy, he
thinks. is TO issue legal teuders con-
v rtable into bonds a rate of interest
of 365-10O being at the rata most ke-
ly satisfactory to all CO. ditioA. He
thinks 1t more than prob.ble that
there will not be required an increase
of the bulk of iega tenders above the
present legally authorized $40O. 0OO,-
900; and that the minimum of $780,
900, 900 will ordinarily be sufficient
for the easy transaction of the legiit
mate BUSINESS OF the country. The
project OF post Office savings banks,
about which the Bureau has been
onsnlted by the Postmaster General,
IS warmly commended by he former
as one that would not only be eff grea
beneftato the individual depositerst
bat to the whole county as we'll.
