WHAT WILL WHEAT BRING:


81 have understood that many,,of the
Southern millers are interchanging
views and making suggestions as to
the price of wheat when the new crop is
offered, and some express a determina-
ton not to pay over one dollar bushel.
Hence your advice in a former number
of the Post was good. l hope, hOwev-
er, that wheat may open at one dollar
and twenty-five cents, and remain at
nearly that price, as it would be for the
future good of the millers, as well as a
present benefit to the farmers of the
wheat growing sections. One dollar a
bushel will net pay for growing wheat
now, and the result will be that, at that
price, a less quantity will be grown
next year, and these same millers will
then have to GO West and pay high
prices again for wheat which can be
grown III abundance to meet their wants
in North Georgia. Tennessee and North
Alabama. One dollar and twenty five
cents is low enough for the present or
future good of all concerned, and it is
to be hoped that the Southern millers
Will take a broad view of the case, and
govern themselves accordingly. If,
however. they determine to hold off,
there is very little doubt but that they
will be able to buy the new crop at one
dollar per bushel, from the fact that it
cannot be sent to any other point where
it will not be met by Western wheat,
and the usual scarcity of money
amongst the farmers will force many of
them to sell at the best prices they can
get. OF one thing you may rest as
sured, Georgia will not need as much
grain of any kind next year as she did
this"
These are the views of friend down
the country, whose sources of informa-
ton are extensive. and in whose judg-
ment we have the largest confidence
We print them for the benefit of our
country cousins" to whose attention
they are more particularly commended.
Since the above was IN type we have
heard Of the engagement of one lot of
wheat in this county and one lot in
Meigs at S1.25 per bushel-early deliv-
cry. We still hold to the opinion that
the first market will be the best.

A FRIGHTFUL CASE OF BURIAL
ALIVE.

Paris Correspondence New Orleans Picsyune.
Two years since a familyOf Marseilles
married their daughter, who had Just
turned of sixteen, to a young man of
Salon, town not far from their resi-
dence. After the wedding festivities
the bridal pair set out for Salon, which
they made their home In the usual
course OF time a child made its appear
ance. The mother seemed in fair way
of recovery, when violent hemorrhage
supervened. A physician could not be
Immediately procured. The loss of
blood had produced a swoon. When
the doctor did at last come, he could
only declare that the patient had passed
away beyond professional skill. These
incidents occurred in August. The
weather was unusually sultry, even for
that month and latitude. The medical
man engaged the family to have the
body inferred as speedily as possible.
Six hours after her death the young
motherwas laid in her grave. Last week
the widower acquainted his mother-in-
law and her family that he proposed to
marry again. Sheinsisted that her daugh-
ter's body should be delivered to her,
to be bruied at Marseilles. He con-
scented. TIE mother-in-law came over
to Salon to superintend personally the
elimination. When the door of the
family vault at Salon was opened.
heart-rending spectacle was seen. Her
daughters corpse lay in the middle of
the vault. The cofin's top had b, en-
wrenched off; top and coffin lay on one
side of the vault floor. The floor of the
vault was strewn with hair of the
corpse, the grave clothes were torn to
shreds, the hands half eaten. The IN
happy young mother had been buried
alive, had recovered consciousness in
the vault, had burst the coffin-lid, had
made superhuman efforts to escape
from the fearful prison or to attract at
tention to her. All of them had failed,
and she had died of terror, of starva-
ton, of exhaustion, of despair, living
death, whose seconds seemed centuries.
The distress of the mother may be con-
ceived. See sank in a swoon as soon
as the awful reality was conceived. She
has been a raving maniac ever since.

GOLD AND SILVER.
LAND wARRANTs.
FINANCIAL.

We have nothing new to note in finan-
cial matters, and business continues unusu-
ally dull in all departments. The banks
are willing to discount for their customers
on short time at the rate Of ten per cent
per annum, though there is but little de-
mand for money.
Exchange on New York is taken by the
banks at par and is sold by them at 81 per
thousand premium.
Gold is slightly fir1ner, closing in New
York at ILL.,. TherA is scarcely anything
done in gold here, and it is only offered i'm
small sums, for which dealers pay ITO,
while they hold at Ill.
Silver is taken at 103 for halves and
quarters.
Government securities are slightly bet
ter. The 5-20s of 1867. which are mainly
dealt in here, are quoted in New York at
1901. Our dealers would pay 1l9a, while
they sell at 120.
Tennessee bonds are quoted in New
York at S0aSl and at 6la62. There is no
demand for them here and theyare difficult
to sell.
Our local stocks are all dull and I'M
changed in rates.

WHAT DOES 1T MEANT
Tremendous Military Preparations
ThFoish6ut Edrope


In the meantime military prepare
tions continue as briskly as ever. Mr..
Krupp, to extend his works, has raised
loan of l2,000,000 thalers, and will
supply the last barrels for the new Ger
man artillery by the beginning of next
year. BY about the Same time the
whole army will be equipped with the
Manser rife; and the organization of
the force be complete. l need not
dwell upon the exertions to the same
end made IL France; but it is, perhaps,
less known that Marshal MacMahon
has sent lumber of officers to Austria
to study the military arrangements of
that Empire, and ascertain their prob
able efficiency in case of an emergency.
In Russia active steps are being taken
to enforce the first general conscrip-
ton IN the coming autumn. 1t is not
a little curious that while an army of
three millions is being avowedly formed
there, nearly all the leading papers of
st. Petersburg should continue to rep
resent Germany as a most bellicose
Nation, bent upon going to war with
France and the rest of the world as
soon as possible. 1t was, indeed, hard
ly to be expected that the friendly in
tentions of the Russian Emperor to-
ward this Government would exercise
more influence upon his subjects feel
ings now than in 1870. The habit of
writing down Germany is too general
in Russia since the revival of the Ma
tiOnal feeling. twenty years ago. 1t is
least likely to be abandoned at a time
when the neighbor, formerly only dis
liked as pedant and an intrusive dis
ciplnarian, becomes an object Of dread
as soldier and thinker. Yet it was
not foreseen that few weeks after the
exchange of the most cordial civihties
between the Emperors Alexander and
William the st. Petersburg Press
would be permitted to charge this
country with sinister designs. But for
the anti German feeling extending to
leading circles this would be lmpossi-
bic.
The increase in the military forces in
the principal European States in the
last fifteen years is illustrated by the
following table:

HOME SICKNESS.
who Are It's Most Sensitive Victims /?

w Ho Arc HIS MUST
There are conditions in which home
sickness assumes the form of the disease
known as nostalgia" Many opportunities
for observation have enabled pathologistS
and other scientific neil to trace the causes
and effects Of this disease but its seat has
been sought for in vain. Some fatal teTmi-
nations have been credited to the disorder,
but we incline to the opinion that it never
killed any one directly, only through dis
eases superinduc,d by the depres-
sion Of spirits which it OCcasioned.
The French Medical Academy thought the
subject worthy Of prize essay, which,
when produced. threw much useful light
upon it. The French, Swiss and Italians
are among the nations most subject to the
affection: and that will account for the
comparatively small emigration of those
people. The Germans are less liable to
inconsistencies; while the English are
free from il in the superlative degree
hence the cosmopolitan character of these
people, and their presence and conquests in
every quarter of the habitual globe. The
disease was very marked among the
French troops during the late war, not only
impairing their efficiency as soldiers, but
actually killing them outright by the pin
ing for home and familiar scenes. The
Italian army is hardly less distinguished by
this malady than the French. The phren-
olOgist would cut this GOrdian knot with
the greatest ease by referring the whole
trouble 10 the organ of inhabitive-
ness. Nations may as reasonably be
expected 10 differ in this respect as
species. If you change your domicil, your
dog goes along with you, his ''adhesiveness"
ranking his inadhesiveness; but your cat
will stay behind-caring greatly more for
the inhabitants than for you. Apply a va
rying propens ~ of this kind To varioHs ma
tions- in the same manner as we are forced
to accredit them with faculties which make
them varioUsly martial, aesthetic, intellec-
tual. humane or superstitiOus-and the
problem is solvedsat once: the Frenchman
has simpler, larger inhabiti: eness and the
Briton less and there's an end ont.
