are: Sea Studies. by James Anthony Froude;
The New Army of France; The Arctic Explor-

MILWAUKEE,, June IS, 1875.

MILWAUKEE, June 26, 1875.
The experience of the last four weeks indi-
Gates that the movement OF wheat is almost
wholly governed by the price Whenever No.
wheat declines materially below one dollar
in our market, farmers. deliveries cease and
the effect is soon visible in our receipts; and as
values are just now very largely regulated by
the receipts, considerable Importance is at
tached to the influences which control them.
We asserted last October, and reiterated it
in November, December and January, that the
receipts here would fall SO per cent. short Of
the last crop, and the figures to-day more than
bear out our assertion. We have received
from the last crop II 900 900 against %, 600 600
year ago, and they WI pr probably approx
gust Goth These figures 90 not correctly rep
resent the relative yield Of the two crops, but
We considered the amount which would go into
different channels of consumption, and the
quantity held back owing to low prices. These
facts, as the, are being developed, surprise the
bears, and it is perceivable that the confidence
and arrogance which characterized them early
in the season, has entirely deserted them, and
every little advance unsettles them and places
them at the mercy of the bulls, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the legitimate outlook does
not promise any material advance. The
danger of the bear side is the forcible reflection
that wheat is intrinsically low at present prices
and would not be high at an advance OF ten
cents. Oats are looking luxuriant, and barley
promises an abundant yield, the only danger
now being wet harvest.
We have Just returned from tour OF obser-
walton through the Middle States and record it
as our Judgment that Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ill
inois and Missouri will aggregate three-fourths
Of an average wheat crop. Barley has sus-
tanned considerable damage, but in view Of the
bright prospects for spring barley we can en-
terrain no bullish feelings ct dollar bushel for
No. Q here. We should rather expect lower
range Of prices.
The speculation in wheat has been rather
tame. Some heavy "bears'' covered early in
the week, sold out again and covered last Fri
day and Saturday again. They are slightly de-
mOralixed.
or last Friday, but our receipts were small and
market ad vanced fully two cents To-day il
advanced one cent higher, but closed with the
advance lost. Our market Is very sensitive,
and it is difficult to execute orders Of any mag
nitude without influencing quotations consid-
erably. This outlooki does not warrant any
higher prices from legitimate point OF view
but the bulls are masters OF the situation, ane
we approach q season when the speculative in
fiuence will control prices.

Mississippi Steamboat Racing.

Racing was royal fun. The public al
ways had an idea that racing was danger
Gus; whereas the very opposite was the
case-that is, after the laws were passed
which restricted each boat to just so many
pounds of steam TO the square inch. No
engineer was ever sleepy or careless when
his heart was in a bOatrace. He was con-
stantly IN the alert, trying gauge-cocks
and watching things. The dangerous
place was on slow, popular boats, where
the engineers drOwsed around and allowed
chips to get into the "doctor" and shut
off the water supply from the boilers.
In the flush tines of steambOating.
a race between two VIGOROUSLY fleet
steamers wa an event of vast importance.
The date was set for it Severa. weeks in AL
vance, and from that time forward, the
whole Mississippi vas in a state OF con-
Stunning excitement. Politics and the
weather were dropped, and people talked
only of the coming race. As the time ap.
preached, the two steamers stripped"
and got ready. Every i~ncumbrance that
dlitCu "NiShC, u VApOSSu "a iNSi1ShhS SUI
face to wind or water, was removed, if the
boat could possibly do without it. The
"spars,' and some times even their sup
| porting derricks, were sent ashore, and 40
! means left to set the boat aflOat in case she
got aground. When the Eclipse and the
A. f.. Shotwell ran their great race twen-
ty-tWO years ago, it was said that pains
were taken to scrape the gliding off the
fanciful device that hung between the
Eclipse's chimneys, and that for that NJ
trip the captain left off his kid gloves and
had his head shaved. But always doubt
ed these things. y
If the boat was known to make her best
speed when drawing five and a half feet
forward and five feet aft, she was careful
ly loaded to that exact tigure-she wOul d
MT enter a dose of homeopathic pills on
her manifest after that. Hardly any pas
sengers were taken, because they not only
add weight but they never will trim
boat" They always run to the side
when there is any thing to see, whereas a
conscientious and experienced steamboat
man would stick to the center of the boat
and part his hair IN the middle with a spir-
it level.-Mark T11ain, IN august atlantic.

The examination of John Petty and Rich

tragic affair took place on an ansurveyed
island in the Missouri River, about three
miles below thai place, on the 18th inst. 1t
appears that Petty and Clearv have been Oc-
cupants Of the island for some time, and had
made improvements on the same and put in a

Ferguson, a weil-to-do farmer, and a man of
considerable means in Usage County, on the
opposite shore of the Missouri River set up a
pretended claim to the island, and on the day
in question, accompanied by his three sons
and four other relatives, all armed, proceeded
to the island with the ayOwed determination
of compelling the occupants to abandon it.
At the approach of t is hostile force, Petty

shot in the breast, killing him almost instant
ly. Almost simultaneously Ferguson's party
returned the fire, and Petty was shot in the
leg. Petty and Cleary then escaped from the
island by swimming out, and surrendered
themselves to Squire Stewart of Cote Sans
Dessien. The result of the examination was
conclusive as to the fact that Petty and
Cleary were acting in self-de-
Tense, and they were discharged
from custody. The three sons and other
companions of Furguson, who accompanied

makes Long Branch so favorite a water

The Pit called Bottomless is prOyerbially
easy of access, but l have never heard it
claimed that this makes it a good water
ing-place. On the contrary, does it not
stand glaringly and markedly forth as per-
haps the worst wa~tering-place to be found
in the world or out of it-if we except,
possibly, COney Island? One of the most
delightful things about the Branch he
thinks is getting to it. The most delight
full is getting away from it, and he pays
his respects to the hotel clerk in this fash

Resuscitating the Drowned.

Il is not improbable that many drown q
persons might be reSuscitated, who are
left to perish for want of intelligent and
timely treatment. The rules proper in
such cases, which have been tested by
long experience, have been 50 often pub
li>hed that they ought to be generally
known. BY way of giving a practical il
luStration OF them, we copy, substantially,
a case mentioned by the writer of that in
teresting little work recently published
under the title of The French at Home"
In his walk one morning he says he saw a
man pulled out of the water, apparently
drowned. He WaS'laid on the right side,
the face turned toward the ground, and
the Jaws gently opened to facilitate the
escape OF water. Several times the head
was placed Il little lower than the rest of
the body for the same purpose, but only
for a few seconds at a time. In the mean
while theresWis a regular manipulating
process to inducesbreathing, which ON
sisted in pressing. the abdomen, stomach
and sides of the. chest, but softly. The
efforts were without effect; the man
looked as if he had seen the last of earth.
Then the PROSTATE figure was carried TO
the nearest station for the rescue of the
drowned. Here the man was stripped
and wiped dry, and he was laid, turned on
the side, between two blankets on a straw
mattress. The manipulating process was
resumed, with intervals of about a quarter
of a minute between each pressure of the
body. the pressure being repeated fifteen
or twenty times, followed by a suspension
passed in this way, when a physician en-
plOyed on this kind of service appeared
and took charge of the case. A warming
pan filled with hot water was passed over
the body outside of the blanket, particu-
larly over the pit of the stomach and the
sides of the chest. This was alternated
with a gentle friction of hot wooden mat
tens, and the nakad hands and the sOles
of the feet and palms of the hands were
vigorously rubbed. An operator breathed
into the mouth of the man by means of a
tube. These efforts also proving in vain,
the physician had recourse TO the intro
| duction of tobacco smoke into the inteS-
tines. In about ten minutes the man gave
a feeble sign of life, whereupOn all mani
pu,atiOn was discontinued lest it should in
terfere with the natural movement. Soon
he showed a desire to vomit, which was
assisted by a feather introduced into the
throat. How long the whole process
lasted is not stated. but the reader will
see that it was lengthy. Afewdays after,
the writer attended a ball, and among the
most lively dancers he saw the drowned
man.-Boston Journal.
