TRACER ,CoRN.-Two or three
weeks since we mentioned an enor.
nous yield of corn Of this variety,
equalling 246a bushels per acre, pro-
duced in Jasper county last summer.
Mr.. Daniel Hunt, Of Wheeling, has
purchased eight bushels Of this corn
from Mr.. TRACER, and will plant the
whole Of 1t on his farm next spring.
He says it Is a large-eared yellow corn,
has grain Of ordinary shape and
size, ears eight to twelve inches In
length, Ia rows on the cob, and will
yield an average of $50 grains per ear,
averaging full two ears per stalk, and
not less than 100 bushels per acre,
with proper cultivation, or double the
yield Of any Of our common corn.
IL all these things are true the Ira
ger corn will work revolution In
farming. Mr.. TRACER reports that he
procured the seed several years ago
from travelling preacher, and he
knows nothing further Of Its history.

IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.

Numbers of seven, eight, or nine figures
each are confusing to the great mass of our
citizens. They cannot without some effort
begin to comprehend their significance.
Nevertheless it is but too apparent that more
attention must be paid to the sums of tens
and hundreds of millions by which the taxes
and expenditures of the Government are
reckoned, or there will be no end to the
growing extravaganza of our public servants
masters, perhaps, we might more properly
call them. In the present article we shall
write only of millions. We shall, for sim
plicity, print 40 millions" instead of 10000
"OOO.n The reader, especially if he be a
voter, must try and imagine what Is the
meaning of million dollars. If we suppose
a tax of a million dollars to be paid in
equal shares by the men who vote
at Presidential election, the cOntribu-
ton required of each man would be about
fifteen cents. A tax of 100 million dollars
would require fifteen dollars of each man who
votes and the total amount of taxes collected
last year by the National Government is equal
10 more than forty dollars from each citizen
who will cast a vote at the Presidential cleo
ton in November, 1876
IL is no secret that about the time Congress
adjourned the leaders of the majority in that
body boasted of the economical reform which
they had introduced into the Government ex-
penditures. We were told by the very highest
authorities that reduction of not less than
80 million dollars was going to be made from
the expenditures of last year, and that these
30 million dollars were to be invested in
bonds for the Sinking Fund, which meant
that bonds to that amount were to be pur-
chased and destroyed and no more interest

THE ORACLE SPEAKS.

While the outside world is raging furiously
together, it is suggestive to see the atti-
tude of the genuine Administration party in
regard to the third term movement. The
step children may falter and even break out
into rebellion. The mere Republican papers
may CRY out in their extremity that the third
term agitation is bringing to naught all the
work of Charley Hays and all the horrors of
his Ku-Klur and White Leagues. But the
Grant papers are as unmoved in all this storm
as their mperturbable chief himself. Though
Robeson may deny the President gives him no
confirmation, and the Washington organ, see
ing somebody must be sacrificed, cruelty
throws Mr.. Parsons overheard. and hugs the
third term closer to its anguished breast.
In the confusion of tongues which in these

hardly less attractive--amOng them Mr.. Dough-
ton and Mr. Leslie, names always pleasant In
American ears. Until further particulars reach
us we may hope that the ruin which mas
devastated st. James's Terrace has not visited
st. Johns Wood, and that. at the worst, the
people there felt only the shock of the concus-
sion of the air. One gentleman who had only
lately moved into his house in st. Johns
Wood was awakened by the blast and ex-
claimed to his wife, "Well, if the wind blows
"like this in St. Johns Wood, we had better
"mOve away !" This is good story, but we
enjoy it the more because it gives us the hope
that the homes of these two artists whose
pictures are q CLEAN Of American sunshine to
homesick eyes in London fogs and smoke,
have been saved in the widespread ruin.
For the ruin is indeed widespread, and the
record q dreary one to read for those who
love art and beautiful things. The houses OF
Mr.. Alma -Tad6ma, Mr.. E. NJ. Ward, Mr. Nc
Whorter Mr. COttier, are complete wrecks
as houses they do not exist any longer. Inc
london newspapers have most to say about
the loss suffered by Mr.. Alma-Tadema, but we
believe the loss of the others we have named
is to the full as serious Alma-Tadema's
house was a new one, and he had just COM
pleted its decoration. after five or SIX years
labor upon it's walls within and without
Those who know this artists pictures may
form some notion of what he has lost when
they are told that nearly all the beautiful
things he paints so beautifully made part of
the riches of his house, which was treasure
house of the artistic riches of the antique
world. The objects in ivory, in bronze, In
glass, in marble, collected in this house would
have made Cicero stare and gasp-and now it
is shattered into a million bits, ground to
puNGi5T, blown to dust; those who have seen
it describe it as unimaginable ruin. 1t is un-
fortunately but type of the rest. The de-
struction of Mr.. Alma -Tad6ma's house IS
matched by that of Mr.. Z. NJ. Wards
of Mr.. McWhOrter's, of Mr.. Cotticrs-though
perhaps the loss experienced by these gentle
men, is not so great as that of their Belgian
neighbOr in precious objects of art. Mr. Cot
tiers misfortune will be regretted sincerely by
those of us who made his acquaintance during
his recent visit to this country, when he came
to establish in our city that branch OF his
London house which is doing so much. and
promises to do more, to stem the tide OF bar
baric taste in household decoration that was
making New-York houses unendurable to
healthy eyes. Mr. COttier's house in st. James's
Terrace was in itself school of taste,
but it has gone with the rest, and there
seems no doubt that the ruin in all cases has
been complete and irreparabe. The worst

story of the explosion of Oct. 2 may be re-
peated any day.

chiefs among English artists far better worth
