WE learn from British papers that the
grain crop of England has suffered very
great damage by reason of the rains
since harvesting and before it could be
secured. Much of the wheat has sprout-
ed In the sheaf and is almost entirely
spoiled. In Scotland not more than half
the grain crops were cut. They are
looking with great interest to the
supplies from this country. The
consumption of our corn (maize) is
said to have increased enormously, and
is still rapidly increasing in England,
and is finding degree of favor among
the people never before attained.
A rise in price is said to be inevitable,
as to all kinds OF grain. In this matter
our Western farmers are all directly
interested; and fortunately have most
abundant harvest in hand to meet both
foreign and domestic demand.

Just underneath the hill,
A quaint, time -honofed edilce-
Methinks see it SILL.
Just as Il stood when / was young,
A happy country lad;
Happy, though shoeless, and although
My hat was shocking bad"
Though now am a wealthy man,
Pd give my wealth to be
A happy country lad once more,
Beneath the old roof-tr
They've torn the old house down, and built
An ugly, staring thing,
With bright green windows in the 'front.'
And at one end wing.
The little streamlet in the rear,
A bright and sparkling rill,
They damned it up while ago,
And now it turns a mill.
The noble chestnut tree, that grew
just on the messy bank,
They chopped it down twelve month since
And sawed it into plank.
The garden and the barn yard, all
1huse dear remembered spots,
Are now "improYed," and leveled, an
Cut into bullding-lOts.

But grant wish to me,
Pd wish myself a country lad,

wealth and the most exquisite taste

portals, despair walked forth with her,
ana sorrow and anguish fingered within.

SO entWined themselves around their

love. His destroyer took their hands

whose charms Of nina and person were
such that to see her was to remember,
and to know her was to love.

that the lesson which she had tau hit at

THE Southern Road Trustees disagree
again. 1t is good sign. The question
of depot facilities on this side of the
river is an important one, and the time
has come when the matter is being
looked after by the citizens who own
the road. Not five men only, but
property-holders by the thousands,
are beginning to inquire how and in
what way their Southern Railroad prop
Brty is to be made available. If any one
or more oil the Trustees threaten
to resign, let the resignation be
handed in at once. Suoh II course
would break up several combinations ol
real estate spectators, and show clearly
that no one of the Trustees desires to
manage the property except for the pub
lie good. II the Trustees disagree sc
much the better. 1t promotes inquiry
1t gives the owners of the road an op
portunity to talk about their investment

BRITISH BARBARIANS. - Edwin Lind

sunday august o, TO chapel in Ter
rington, st. Clement, England, was
seized by three men, WHO pulled off the
boys shoes, and, taking the Iaces there
rom, tied his legs with them. The men
then strapped the boys hands behind
his back, carried him a short distance TO
Il Wasp's nest, which they had just dug
up, and, having thrown him into it, they
departed. The boy was horribly stung
on his face, neck, arms, knees ana
thighs. His screams of agony We're
heard a long distance, and az last even
moved the hearts Of his prosecutors, who
returned and released him. The ruff
fans were arrested and have recently
been tried. They were each fined SO and
the costs, 50 so!

FROM all points along our Atlantic
coast, from Key West to Labrador, we
receive accounts of the terrible cyclone
hat ragged with such devastating fury
on last Sunday. The origin of the fear.
full storm seems to have been in the
West Indies, whence its course was
northeastward, striking our coast most
severely in the neighborhood OF Norfolk,
Virginia. The storm center probably
followed the line of the Gulf Stream;
and accounts Of serious consequences to
shipping may be anticipated. Here we
had rains, but almost an entire calm.

A French "SophomOre." Z"

An eminent French engineer, named
DRoULLErTE, and Secretary OF the French
Geographical Society, is on visit to
Washington on matters connected with
the international enterprise of cutting
ship canal across the Isthmus through
Central America. This French geog-
rapher and Engineer, the man of prom
inence among the SdrantS of France, the
man who comes hither armed with es-
says and pamphlets on the subject OF
piercing the continental Isthmus and
uniting the Atlantic and Pacific, the
man who is the friend and coadjutor OF
Ferd. Lesseps, this man, on
presenting himself to the au-
thorities at Washington, learns
with profound surprise, that surveys
have already been made by American
naval officers OF the whole Isthmus from
the Gulf OF Tehuantepec to the Bay oil
Cupica. For the first time it came to the
knowledge OF this learned Secretary of
the Geographical Society OF France that
curing quarter OF century past our
Government had been engaged in max
Ing surveys of every practicable route
Tor a ship canal across the Central Amer
lean Isthmus, and that full detailed re-
ports Of all such surveys had been duly
made and published. No wonder the
Frenchman was surprised. His sur
prise should have been at his own ignor.
lnce. His astonishment would be nat
Dral, not that sc much had been done,
put that he had never heard of it before.
What would intelligent men think of
the scientific character and standing of
this eminent French engineer and geog-
rapher who, when exhibiting his pam
phlets and plans for survey, is informed
that such surveys have all been made
md long ago reported upon, and pub
Gshed to the world, and he ignorant OF
lhe factP We presume that European
Savants and the wise men Of the East
generally do not trouble themselves to
look into American documentary
papers very often. We also presume
that Monsieur DRoULLETTE now wishes
be had paid little more attention to
American geographical research. BY
30 doing he would have avoided plac-
ing himself in the ridiculous attitude OF
pne coming here to teach us something
IhaU we knew all about before he had
learned its rudiments. This learned
Frenchman can now contribute an "orig-
Inal paper"to his society in France upon
"Yankee Explorations in Central Amer
lea, from 1850 to 1876; and their Dis coy
cry of Ship-canal Route" Perhaps
those who sent him, as well as himself
may now learn something about geogra-
ply that they were ignorant of before.

terday began the 5,637th year of their
calendar, i. e. from the creation of the
world. This ushers in the ten peniten-
tial days which precede the great Jewish
fast of Yom Kippur, or Day of Atone
ment. During this interval the Jewish
people are expected to forgive all
wrongs, bury all enmities, repent of all
evil deeds, ard be prepared to lead an
upright lie through the year that is
opened. The ritual they employ in the
services of the Synagogue on this occa-
sion is of unknown antiquity, and may
date from the reign of Solomon.

The present fashionable game OF
"polo," just imported from England, is
not an English game. 1t had its origin
in India, where it is played by the ''Mu-
niporees" mounted on the ponies bred in
their own province, and trained to great
deXterity in their part of the perform
ance. In India the game is called
"hockey." In this country some pro-
fame babbler has nicknamed it "shinny
on horseback" How it came to be called
polo" is what no fellah can find out,
not even Jim Bennett.
