From the best data within our reach,
much of which We give our readers this
week, We may hope for surplus of
wheat for foreign markets approximating
Al, 4S2, 333 bushels. Much of this will
not get in sight this year. as low prices
are never likely to clear out the bins. A
residuum Of 100000 bushels in the
hands Of farmers would make little show
at any one point It seems quite sure
that what surplus we have will find some
remunerative foreign market. Yet, in
view ofthe possibility of no foreign de
mand. it may be desirable to decide what
the intrinsic worth of wheat is, to hold
one year. This problem can only be de-
termined approximately. yet perhaps
closely enough Tor all practical purposes
Our tables on this point, show that the
balk Of wheat is raised in Wisconsin,
Ohio, Indiana Michigan. Illinois, Min
nesota, Iowa and on the Pacific coast. 1t
is safe to say that the necessities Of the
case will hold the centre of production
stationary until further railroads are
built SO as to move what is raised at
prices leaving a profit to the farmers.
Assuming the actual cost of raising wheat
in Wisconsin to be IS cents per bushei
and placing the average cost of transpor-
tation, storage, and handling, with inter-
est, at % cents, we think 1t safe to put
the intrinsic value of wheat, to hold for
year, at $1.00 in Milwaukee and Chica-
go, or what is better, IN order to avoid
the accommodating storage charges at these
points, at 75c in the farmers bins. Below
that price, on general principles We 81 ould
deem it better for farmers to hold than
to sell-Journal of Commerce.

From Tontalnebleau, 10 France, comes
an account of amusing lawsuit lately
tried there, which was decided according
20 scientific and S olomonlike principles.
Monsieur C-had for a neiehbor far
mer named B. He also possessed a
t-rkey-hen, which, a few weeks ago,
Matched out brood of fourteen little ones
Soon after their birth these new corners dis
appeared much % the vexi ton of their
owner, who sought In vain tor them 10
every spot whittier they could have tray
ed One day the mothers oft-repeated
calls were answered by cries from the
BARNARD of famer B. The police
was called;into consultation, and on the
suspected premises found a cage contain
ing ten little turkeys which Monsieur
C-swore were his property. B
and his wife both protested earnestly
that they were innocent of any wrong,
but tue matter was brought into the
courts. At trial, the judge was puzzled
how to proceed, but, acting on the ad-
vice of natullst, he set the chicks In the
presence of the hen belonging to B.
She instantly flew at them and picked
them: the other hen was then led into
the arena, and the voice of nature was
loudly eloquent Spreading her wings,
the old fowl called the brood, and they
taoa s...o..ssor il their Sccua.csile {, p..aca,
utteriDg loud cries of joy. The mother
marched off in triumph; the court pro-
nounced this proof decisive; and farmer
Band his wife were arrested, tried
and condemned to two months imprison-
ment.

A SERIES of experiments, un 1ertaken
by Prof Vogel. of Munich, to substan-
tiate the fact that camphor water
promotes the growth and prevents the
willing of tulips. etc, led to the discov-
cry that old seeds, which have almost
lost the power of termination. not only
recover it when treated with camphor
water. but even germiate In larger num-
Der and more rapidly than fresh seeds
under ordinary conditions. Thus beans,
that require eight to ten days for germina-
ton under ordinary conditions, developed
IN csmphor water; and what IS mo.e
remarkable still. the seeds so generated
manifest continued effort of the can
phor, when transferred to good garden
soil in the vigor of growth and fresh
ness of the plants.

OF her choice, and then went right along
attending to her business as if nothing
had happened. But the other day the

man saw it: Showing the notice to his

STARTING A PAPER.

AS several benevolent gentlemen in
Washington are now earnestly engaged
in maturing plans 10 commence the
publication of daily paper, the fol.
lowing item, from the Burlington
Hawheye is published as suggestive
but entertaining history Of similar en- !,
terprises:
The Peoria Qll.) Rsvieso is to be
sold at sheriff s sale this morning to
satisfy mortgage We are under
obligations to Peoria friend for
promptly advising us of this opportu-
nity to regain an interest in that excel
lent cheap, but we don't want
any. We have loved the Reyieao, so
did the gods; hence it has died young,
less than a year and half old. It
marked an era in our journalistic career
which we love to ponder over with
tears. 1t was the one daily paper we
helped to start. 1t precious soon got
the start Of everybody connected with
it. We had that little twilight twinkler
for nearly quarter of a year. Then it
had us for the rest Of the time. The
Unsuitable NAV of that pretty, deceitful
little sheet in its nobby, metropolitan
dress of minion and nonpareil, had for
coupons the wild, ungoverned appetite
it had for shekels, the excellent voice it
had, which it retained to the last, for
louis doris; the avidity with which it
reached out for base bullion, and the
equal avidity with which it didn't get
any! Such fearful old infationist i;
was on DR.. side, such a terrible con-
tractionist it was on Or side. We
hope it will sell well. We hope the
m ortgage will be satisfied If it is it
will be the first thing the Reuielo ever
satisfied. We hope some good man
will buy it and run it successfully,
though we doubt if it can be made to
do better than it did under Mr.. Coffin>
berry's excellent and careful manage
ment. But with all due regard and
tender feeling for the journal of our
earliest love and highest aspirations,
we do not now wish any more of the
fruit, if your please Life is too short
to throw away on such hollow vanity
as Peoria evening daily We would
much rather not kind Of try to have
scarcely little to do with it hardly
any at all. If at any time we desire to
renew the fierce excitement of those
sweet days, we can wait until harvest
and go up in the country and crawl
into threshing machine; OF, in a city
where so many sawlnills ply the busy
buzz saw as IN Burlington, we can find
pastime of a less exciting and ard
Gus character than running the Reyieao,
it is true, but still sufficiently exhilara-
ting for man of a rather phylegmatic
temperament. We do not wish to run
any evening dailies on our own hook.
That is, not just at present We may,
after while along some time after the
millennium, may be, but we are too
young for such onerous duties now.
And then, since we came to Burlington
we have become SO dreadfully addicted
to telling the truth that we are about
ruined for Peoria newspaper work
anyhow.

And noisy fame is proud to win them:
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them

Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sac story.

Slow dropped from Misery's crushing presses

THE centennial manipulators met
with another disastrous check in the
lower house of Congress, Thursday.
After q careful count of noses they
had confidently reckoned upon l3S
votes in favor of their three million
dollar appropriation, but when the
vote was taken the motion to order
the bill engrossed was defeated by a
vote Of 1873 to 80.
This result is ascribed by the
friends.of the bill to the pig-headed-
ess Of pig-iron Kelly, who, acting
as chief manipulation, objected to,
and defeated an amendment provi-
ding for general amnes,y on July
4th 1875. This stupid illiberality
turned all the Southern Democrats
and several Southern Republicans
against the bill. And now the
Pennsylvania delegation having
their eye teeth cut, has agreed to in
corporate the general amnesty
clause in order to draw Southern
support.
