Pope Plus TX. celebrated, on Thursday
last. his eighty-third birthday. and if he
lives until the 18th of next June he will
have completed the twenty-nnth year
of his pontficate. Other Popes have lived to
greater age than the present head Of the
Catholic Church, twenty of them having
reached cighty-four, but the number OF
years Of his pontificate surpasses that of st.
Peter. to whom history assigns twenty five
years rule of the Church. The present
Pope was born May 49, 1892, received holy
orders ia 1918, was made an archbishop in
1897 and a cardinal in 1870 and on June Is,
1886 after the death of Gregory XVI., he
was chosen Pope. being proclaimed the
next day. There were then in the Sacred
College sixty-one cardinals, only eight of
whom are now living, and but one of tn en-
in the Archbishop of Fermo, is older than
the Pope, he being four weeks the senior.
Plus IN., during his reign, has created
ninety-nne cardinals, of whom fifty have
since died, and the college now numbers
fifty-seven.

KSoxVILLE, tenn, May 81 1875.
The past week was very dull one in
he produce line, in fact, depressed feel
ing seems to exist in almost every depart
ment of trade
Wheat has gone down as fast as it ran
up, and the market at present is so unset
tied that it is almost impossible to name a
reliable quotation. White may be quoted
all the way from Sl.l5al.2O, according to
quality and quantity. The growing wheat
crop not being as badly injured by the
frost as was first expected and the millers
throughout the country having large stocks
of wheat on hands, are reasons assigned
for this great downfall in prices.
Corn is still on the decline and dull at
quotations.
Butter has declined and the market is at
present overstocked.
Irish potatoes have advanced and choice
varieties for seed and table use bring extra
prices.
Bacon, lard, eggs and feathers remain
unchaD sed.

Wheat Prospects in New York.

The compilation Of wheat crop pros
poets in this Stale recently collected
and published in the PhaadeLphiu
Press, seems to indicate as much dam
age in New York as in the Western
States. We bad not seen reports from
the interior to indicate such general
damage to the crop of winter wheat
by winter killing as their dispatches
indicated. Yet, in the absence of any
systematic efforts to collect the facts
until these given by the Press to the
public, they must pass as fair repre-
sentation of the condition of the crop
until they are coatTOveited by some
more thorough investigation. From
these it appears that not much, if any
more, than one-half crop of winter
wheat can be looked for, and certainly
not over two-thirds. -NeW York Bulle-

and some to the growing crops, the low
lands being flooded and washed out in
some localities, but the greatest injury
has been done the grasshoppers. Untold
millions OF insects have been DESTROYED
by the Hood. They were washed into the
