Journal doesn't believe that 1t Is well to

to be setting up new institutions on q
money basis large enough TO be worth
saving, but not large enough to make a
decent college; to leave institutions al
ready started and approved bare of fur
niture and means. There are so many

many phases of thought, that any mod

all right. No administrative officer

Even if the people are mistaken in
their Judgment, it is still true that
Presidents, Congressman, and Cab

have right to demand changes if
they feel like it.

country. Sustained in power by
large majorities, the managers for

Prescott and Edison, four messages
can be sent simultaneously along

already i'll successful operation.
The telegraphic traffic may be thus

coarser; that 1T takes more water
III the making of bread, makes a
larger loaf than before with the

creased. In point of fact, while
the Touring capacity of the wheat is
increased to an extent most valua-
ble, the quality is Increased from 40
TO so per cent and there is no loss
IN any direction, except in the re-
fuse heretofore fed to the cattle or
wasted in the distilleries. That
this Is an important revolution in
this all important branch of indus
try will readily be admitted.
\ most important feature of it
IS the changes it has made in the
relative Importance of different sec
tons of the country as wheat-bear-
ing regions. Under the old process
OF making the flour the winter wheat
furnished by all odds the best ar
ticle. This was obtained only in
It's best condition from the northern
tier OF the Southern states, or the
extreme southern part of the north
ern states. Virginia, Kentucky
and Missouri furnished the bulk of
the wheat making the best flour
which flour commanded uniformly
80 cents more per barrel in the mar
ket than the flour of the Northwest.
and the difference was occasionally
much greater
Now spring wheat makes as good
an article as can possibly be made
with the winter The effect is.
that the relative Importance Of the
Northwest and the states referred
to has been euddaniv rn,..,.--
Now the flour made by spring wheat
by this process commands at least
so cents more in the market than
the heretofore best kind. This lifts
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin gen
orally, to the front rank of flour
producing regions, and adds cores
pondingly to the value Of all the
property in them.
As yet this new development-has
resulted mainly to the advantage Of
the millers. Old mills are being very
much enlarged, and new ones are
springing up. An increased de-
mand for milIstoues and boiling
cloths is reported by all dealers
in those articles. Il viii not, how
ever, be great while before these
advantages will get beyond the mil
lers and reach the producer, from
whence they Will permeate all inter
ests, and another revolution for
ward in progress generally will have
been accomplished.

THE NEW PROCESS FOR GRINDLNG
From the Racine Advocate.

THE AEU IROGESS FOR GRINDING
FLOUR,
From the Racine Advocate
The new process now being adop-
ted for grinding and manufacturing
q superior quality OF -four, was first
introduced into this State at the
City Mills OF j. 5. Hart e Co., of
Racine. The process was watched
with a great deal of interest by mill
men. and has now been adopted
generally as one of the best inn
proyements in grinding ever intro
duced, The advantages consist:
First-the production of sixteen
pounds more Of flour from the guam
tity Of wheat formerly used in pro-
ducing barrel of flour. Second
\ quality Of flour vastly superior in
All respects to any before produced
as a general thing. Third-it ena-
bles the superior flour to be made
from spring wheat, which has not
heretofore produced the best flour
thus making that kind OF wheat
heretofore the inferior, now the su-
perior of the winter -four made un-
der the old process. Mr.. Hart also
manufactures from winter wheat,
but the benefits are not SO great as
TO the spring variety.
Under the present process ofcon-
verting wheat into flour, which this
new process is supplanting, the
wheat was converted By grinding

dyspepsia, but not less mischievous. Sin can often be traced back to disease, and there IS some reason in; the opinion that | certain kinds of sin are nothing more nor less than peculiar manifestations of cer- tain diseases. An inefficient stomach may be the cause of hypochondria, and intense hypochondria often narrows and some times destroys the sense of moral obIiga- tiOn. The excessive use of intoxicating liquors perhaps is more intimately con neeted with these physical disorders than we are willing to admit. The late Govern or Andrew, of Massachusetts, in an argu- ment ons'The Errors of Preplbition, "once acutely said: .--f
 "A hard climate, much exposure, little variety in food, and great want of culina- " skill, few amusements, the absence of light. cheering beverages, a sense of care and responsibility cultivated intensely, and the prevalence of ascetic and gloomy theores of life. duty and Providence have, in time past, all combined to in- crease the perils of the people from the seductive narcotic"
 The intense ''sense of care and respon- slbility," and ''the prevalence of ascetic and gloomy views of life. duty and Provi- dence, may be traced, in what degree we will not attempt to say, to the inordinate use of pie. |.
 Mrs. Rodgers, in recounting the. tribu- lations of boarding-house keeper, and the ''sad havoc with the features" which that business produces, said that ''the gravy alone is enough to add twenty years to ones age" :" to which she added, as a general truth. that 'there is no such pas sion in human nature as the passion for gravy among commercial gentlemen. '' Deluded old woman, she was less unhap- py than she thought herself to be.

On that occasion this matter could not be conclud- ed dntd ali other business had been dis posed of.

 the present or any former year, would be
 to convert the legislaure of good od Connecticut into an assembly of boobies.
 Fortunately l am relieved from any such
 conclusion; fortunately the last legislature
 greatly improved the act of '72, and I
 hope future legislatures will continue to
 improve the system till we get it on footing in which all good men can acqui-
 esce. am thoroughly convinced that no

 My conclusion has already been stated.
 The vote of annullment if passed last Sat- 5urday. is itself null, and can protect nei- ther your selectmen nor those alcoholic
 vendors who continue their business in
