THE FuTuRE OF WHEAT.


THE FUTURE OF WHEAT.
Under this heading late numbt
of the Aissonri ReoubHcd'-unive
sally conceded to be the standar
market indicator of the Great Nortl
west-contains some information an
speculations which cannot fail to b
stimulative of hope to the wheat pre-
ducing classes, not only of the Mis-
sissippi Valley, but of the Pacifi
Coast as well That paper says: 20
one thing we may be assured, tn
wants of foreign countries for on
wheat are beyond precedent. Th'
requirements of the United Kingdom
are placed at 9O,OOo,OOO bushels
France usually exports wheat. Thai
is to say, the northern provinces usu
ally have a surplus which they find it
more remunerative to export than to
ship to the southern portions Of the
country, which are not, strictly speak
ing, wheat-growing regions The south
is supplied by importations at Mar
seilles, from countries on the Medi-
terranean, the amount of which is gen
orally much less than that of the ex
ports from the north. But, at pres
ent, more than the usual importations
at Marseilles are required, while the
northern provinces, instead of export
ing, will require to import considera-
BILE quantities Of wheat. A noticeable
feature of the trade is that OF the
'clearances' of wheat from New York
for the week ending Oct. 8, 100000
bushels went TO Harve, Antwerp and
:. ROTTERDAM. In fact not only Eng
land and France are short of wheat to
an unusual extent, but Germany,
Hungary and even Southern Russia
are also largely deficient. The latter
country is usually heavy exporter,
but according to late report of the
minister of agriculture, it appears that
their principal wheat region has ex-
perienced failure of crops, and fears
are entertained that they may have to
enter Mediterranean markets for sup
plies. These facts all point in one di-
,rection. The United States must be
the base Of supplies for the next year.
Understanding this fully, European
dealers have purchased more heavily
than ever before, and the exports
from New York alone during the ii |
days ending Oct. 8 were 3,5aS,469
bushels, an amount unparalleled in
the history of that. port What we
wish to urge upon producers is the fact
that the game is in their own hands.
They should not force their VIII eat off
during the close money markets, but
having already sent forward such vast
quantities, should hold the remainder
for better prices. Latest reports
from California show that its crop is
far less than 1872, hence the North
west is the region which must supply
Ehe larger portion of the wants of Eu
rope. Let our farmers hold their
wheat, and next spring and summer
will bring them their reward"

tire State has manifested a satisfactory

Duties of a Lady in her Household.

Without regularity no house can be man
aged with any degree of economy OF comfort.
No mistress or head of a household, there
fore, should trust her domestic with the care
of the store-rooms, closets and kitchen, with
out keeping a careful supervision over each
of them herself The best hour for inspec-
ton, in regard to these matters, is immedi-
ately after breakfast. All the materials or
stores, as well as the necessary directions,
may then be given out. She should see also
for herself that everything is made the best
use of by those TO whom she cntrusts the
culinary operations, and that nothing is left
to the chances of disorder and waste.
No lady should ever regard herself above
this routine of skillful house care for, how
ever accomplished she may be, her domestic
duties are of the first Importance Thus, in
regard to the simple matter alone of the
dinner tablets appointments, and the
mode of conducting on such an occasion
the influence of a faithful attention to duty,
on the part of the female head of household
affairs, is at once evident. Everything
should not only be in its proper place, but
have place by itself Clean table linen
should only be given out after the soled has
been returned to its proper place. Glass
should be kept in a closet in the dining
room, and only that number Of glasses given
out that may be wanted.
Everything thus at hand, and the utmost
enforced, much trouble, and in
the course of the year, considerable loss will
be avoided. Punctuality in the manage
ment of all home affairs is also Indispensable
The means should always, unless unavoid-
able casualties intervene, be ready at the
accustomed and expected hour. If the mis-
tress is punctual, the domestics will also be
so; and thus the mind of the husband will
not be ruffied, and there win be no confusion
and no chickering's, but harmony and cheer
full appreciation of every meal, followed by
a genial relaxation and pleasant converse
ton.
These are not trifes, however they may
appear to some. If the insolvency Of thou
sands could be traced to its source il would
be found to have commenced with the non
performance of these household duties by
the wife-or other female head of affairs
for without order there is no economy"

-rheKnvesRsatiax Committee.

With the exception Of the committee
appointed 10 investigate the Subsidy
transactions of the Accomplishment
the refuted imputations of that Of
fetal against General Lowry-and the
committee on the Acting Governors
railroad Indebtedness exploits, which re-
ported through Hill (colored), and an
other committee which reported through
Holland in the early part Of the session,
in reference TO the Lunatic Asylum
building-the Investigations which We're
ordered by the Legislature proved to be
nothing less than the broadest farces. 1t
was an outrage on the part OF the Act
ing Governor to receive in payment Of
State dues in liquidation Of a sacred
trust fund, and in advance of adiudica-
ton by the courts, State warrants
which had been pronounced unconstitu-
tional by the law officer Of his Admins
tration. But this transaction, although
denounced by the Hill Report as gross
offense, has been virtually sanctioned by
the Legislature and his crime of violat-
ing the Law in extending the time Of pay
ment Of ,he Railroad debt, at heavy
cost to the Treasury, has been slurred
over with no other expression Of disap-
probation than that contained in the
said Report.
The $1,000 Map investigation was
ridiculous failure in bringing the
guilty parties to punishment. The OBJ
iect Of the majority seemed to be to
erect a causeway for the escape Of
Pease & Co. from merited punishment.
This is the well-settled public belief. No
other conclusion is warranted by the
facts; and the appeal will be taken from
the partisan committee before which the
farce of inquiry was held to the bar Of
the people.

This bill providing for the selection of
legal advertising mediums in the several
counties, was amended so as to confer
the authority to make selections upon
Boards Of County Supervisors in place of
Commission Of State Officers here at
the capital as originally proposed. Each
Board is required to select some paper
published NJ the county and in the alb
sence Of such publication, to select a
paper outside the county having the
largest circulation therein. The law is
to be put INTO execution at the meeting
Of the Boards on the first Monday in July.
No advertisements required to be made
by law, viii be legal unless appearing in
the journals designated under the act.
The principle is wrong. 1t is violation
of the private rights of individuals and
it, origin, is a motive to build up party
organs by forced contributions.

A correspondent of the Scientific 4mefi-

measuring mems characters
During the last ten years, ia the winter
season. according to our daily record we
have noticed the manner i'll which one
thousand persons who called for work have
o,,aned shut or not shut our store door
This YOU may say is a useless and futile I'M
dertaking, but we entertain a very different
opinion. What are the facts, and what are
the deductions?
l. Out of l 900 persons recorded, 800
opened the door and shut it carefully when
they came in and when they went out
without much noise.

attempt to shut it, but did not, alFt merely

Marshall, Texas, and San Diego, Cal

on the beginning of the work on the
Southern Pacific Railway at both ends
of the line. The whole work will be
completed in two or three years. Our
Vicksburg and Meridian Road will then
enter upon an era of prosperity. 1t will
constitute an essential link in the chain
which will connect the two Oceans by the
shortest route, and the only one that can
be used without interruption the whole
year round. The first survey of this line
was made by direction of Hon. Jefferson
Davis, during his administration of the
War Department, and its completion
will be the realization of what his far
reaching sagacity suggested nearly twenty |
years ago.

1t seems that they have had a serious
disturbance between the whites and
blacks &t the town of Knightsville, In
diana. The report is that " a difficulty
occurred between negro and one of the
white puddlers, which brought on a
bloody row. Several women engaged IN
the affair The clearinghouse where
the negroes were quartered was soon
mbarded by shower of cinders, nearly
every light in the front part of the house
being knocked out. The blacks rushed
for their arms and seemed eager to fire
on the assailants, but were held back and
kept in the rear of the house by William
Watson. George Murbarger, Leonard
Randan, John Durbin, guards, and the
Rev. Matthews were each caught in the
street and severely beaten. As soon as
the excitement began to die down in that
quarter, the crowd began to collect near
Daniel Davis store, by which the negro
miners would pass on their return from
the mines, which they did about six
o'clock. As the rear men passed the
crowd, one of the negroes drew re-
volver, when he WAS taken in custody by
the Marshall. An interchange of rocks
soon began between the parties. Squire
Hollingsworth succeeded in starting the
negroes toward the mill on a double
quick, several shots being fred after
after them. Thus the affair ended for
the day. 1t was generally feared that
an attack woull be made on the mill in
night. Masters Il Morrison's negroes,
all armed, were brought upon the ground
about ten o'clock P. NJ. Troops were
for from Indianapolis. Gov
Hendricks responded by saying the EN-
met Guards and detachment of police |
would be sent on the five o'clock train.
Shooting was kept up all night-a de-
sultory, harmless fire.
All this occurred in the loyal village of
Knightsville, and the loyal State of In
diana. The strange part of the affair is,
not that it occurred, but that it has not
caused the highest sensation. The news
have hardly thought it worth
while to give the public information of
t; and our own readers would have
been kept in unfortunate ignorance of
he matter, if we had not by chance
ound the particulars related in a remote
.orner of an obscure newspaper. 1t
would have been different if the affair
lad happened in a Reconstructed State.
Flaming headlines would have proclaim J

vould have been hurrying of blue coats
