SOMETHING BESIDES WHEAT
Would it no. be we'll to stop pursuing
this isn,s tatuus Of European III .rkets
for wheat and pay more attention to
other grains? Corn pJs better, and
50 does oats and potatoes than does
this grain. Fifty. seven per cent o! the
inhabitants OF Minnesota are. now en-
gagged in its cultivation, while sheep
and cattle raising and general f'rming
langui>h. Every other product this
season is paying better than wheat,
which is hardly returning the amount
Of money spent on it. Corn aud oats
are paying nearly $50 per acre. Pota.
toes bring s:veu,y five cents per bush.
Il, while horses, cattle, hogs, and
sheep always end ready market. ..
'emunerative price. Let W show tho

made "a statement, the other day, that
"Minnesota was ooly happy when
Europe was starving" that We eau

The French steamer, LAmerique,
was not lost, after all. After she
had been abandoned, and was lost
sight of by the ship which took off
her crew and passengers, she was
discovered and boarded by officers of
the English ship, Spray, who. find
ing her entirely deserted, and deem
ing her a prize too valuable to be
left to the mercies of the waves,
took possession and towed her tri-
uumphantly into port at Ply mouth,
England, where she now is. The
French officers, in their alarm and
haste to abandon the ship, gave no
time for the removal of any of the
baggage and effects of the passen-
gers. Those persons are doubtless
glad to learn that the ship contain
ing them is now safe in port, howev-
er deeply chagrined the ships Off
GERS may be at the fact that she is
not at the bottom of the sea. The
whole affair is regarded as joke on
French capacity for the sea-faring
business. The cause which led to
the abandonment of the ship was
the discovery of a leak, and inabili'
ty to work the pumps.

Recent utterances of Ben Butler
in relation to the new Senator from
Massachusetts,, seem to indicate the
existence of serious doubts in the
mind of the astute Benjamin as to the
seraphic purity of the ex-pailmaker.
Ben expresses the opinion that the
Craftsmanship of the Committee on
Claims MAY BE worth to the incum-
bent fifteen or twenty per cent. of
every claim presented; fact which
may account for Mr.. Washburn's
status in certain National Bank,
and his possession of $50, 900 res
idence, while his partner in the pail
business failed to realize anything
like that.
Who knows? But then Ben is a
malicious cuss: that can't,be denied.
