According to the returns received oy
the department of agriculture at Washing
ton, the total yield of wheat in the United
States in 1876 is nearly One-sixth less than
i'll 1875. When we take into consideration,
in connection with this fact, the further fact
that the acreage of wheat in Europe for 1876
was at least 20 per cent. under the average, it
is hard to understand upon what reasoning
the expectation expressed by many of fur
ther and permanent decline in the price OF
wheat can be based.

medals. The committee that was at work re-
writing, altering cutting, and enlarging the

gone, except in an occasional struggle with

Of the commission i'll retracing its misstep is

Condition of the Markets.
WHEAT.


1t is officially stated that there is a
| deficiency of one-sixth in wheat, one-quarte1
in oats, per cent in rye, and per cent in bar
ley, as compared with 1875, in the United
States. Ifthis is so, there ought to be no de-
cline from present moderate prices, though all
the world be at peace, with no prospect for war
before the next Centennial. An era of low
freights, like the present one with less than
| average yield, ought to put into the pockets Of
the farmers even more money than they are
now receiving in return for their grain and it
does not appear that the yield of breadstuffs in
other countries is great enough to promote an
argument in favor of low quotations on our
produce.
1t now seems almost certain that war in the
East is off for the present, with the possibility
that outside counsels will prevail to prevent
the renewal of hostilities till near the close OF
the year. 1t does not seem probable, and more
than ever so, that even if the warshould be re-
newed it will not be participated in by the
Great Powers of Europe to an extent sufficient
to derange our markets for breadstuffs. This
is the view taken by the dealers in produce
who think on the subject at ALL As they nat
urally regard our recent upward movement in
wheat as due to the war prospect they are dis
posed now to operate fora decline. But it is
open to doubt if our market would have de-
clined below 100 per bushel last summer but
for the fears entertained in reference to the
condition of the old wheat and our market
ought, in that case, to rule at least ST. 90 per
bushel ON the strength of the confessed short
age on the crop OF 1876.

HOGS.
The Chicago hog market is anything
but buoyant, considering the demand. Hogs
are being held back, so that the packers who
have got ready for operations are tantalized
with lack of the raw material, and outside
buyers hold off till they see the season opened
on satisfactory basis. Till the season is fairly
under way it is scarcely probable that outside
buyers will take hold to any large extent, and
the market is left to local operators, most
whom have no faith in higher prices unless
due to an active demand from the East and
South

Suicide by Dynamite.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
IN the annals of suicide few cases
are more remarkable than one which
occurred a few days ago at Nitshill, in
Scotland, where miner named Dun
can deliberately blew himself up with
dynamite. 1t seems that the unfOrtu-
nate man, who was about SO years of
age, was much distressed at some re-
marks made about him by his neigh
bOrS. On Monday afternoon he was
seen coming out of his house with a
parcel in his hand, described as being
about the size of two-pound loaf, and
to which were attached two pieces of
GOLFERS s'strum,'' or match. This
parcel contained dynamite. Having
procured a match from the house of a
neighbOr, to whom he remarked that
"they had said great deal of him
lately, but he would put it past them
now," Duncan went out into the street
and putting the parcel down on the
ground, leaned well over it. He then
lighted the 'sstrum' with the match.
At this moment some boys, attracted
by his unusual attitude, came toward
him. keep back" shouted Duncan,

blown into eternity ! Thus adjured,
the boys did keep back; and it was
well for them that they did so, for a
moment later there was loud eXplO-
sion, which startled the whole village,
and Duncan was instantaneOusly blown
to atoms. On the spot where the dy-
Mantle had been laid there was left
hole about three feet deep by two and
a halfWide.

The African Pigmies at Rome.

A correspondent of the New York
Post writes as follows;
Il have received some accounts OF
the African pigmies, who are now re-
| ceiving an education in Italy, which
no doubt, will interest persons who re-
member the accurate description made
OF them by Bayard Taylor, when they
| were first captured, three years ago
The English Geographical Society then
asserted that they were incapable OF
instruction, and that they were not
much superior to orang outangs but
the experience of the last three years
has proved that they are intelligent, af-
fectlonate and grateful. They already
speak Italian with elegance and clear
ness OF enunciation, and read and write
with facility. Their hand writing is
good, and their thoughts are expressed
IN their written composition with
clearness and simplicity, and with Won
derful originality. They also read
Latln with comprehension and intelli-
gence. The eldest, Tho Tukuba, stud
les arithmetic, and adds, subtracts and
multlplles mentally. He also has a
passionate love for music, and, from
nearing the lessons on the piano given
10 others, is able to repeat them by
ear. The Countess Minischali, under
whose care the King has placed them,
VIII have him instructed in music.
She has placed both children under
the tuition of an excellent teacher and
MS Wlfe, who~spares no pains to devel-
OPP their intellectual faculties. Great
patlence was required to teach the lit
saVages. Signora Scarabello taught
them on the Froebel system, by means
OF objects which they could see and
touch, and also by appealing to their
appetlteS with SweetmeatS or fruits.
Counting on the fingers, or out of an
