DEVELOPMENT OF THE AMERICAN
GRAIN TRADE.-At a recent meeting
Of the Chamber Of Commerce at Odessa.
Russia, attention was called to the i'm
mense development Of the American
grain trade, and its depressing effect
upon the agriculture Of that country.
10 former years Odessa ruled the grain
supply Of England; but the trade is
now changed, and in 1875 the United
States exported to England wheat to
the value Of G693. 800, while the value
of the same article from Russia was
only 9129.575. Even this statement
does not tell the whole tale In 1874
the value Of Indian corn exported from
this country to Great Britain was esti
mated at $7.4S7 ,178. and during 1875
at f8. 492. 1853, thus showing an in-
crease 10 the shipments Of this cereal
alone Of more than $4,000 in a single
month. Thus far during the present
year the exports Of grain have been
satisfactory. Whether they will reach
or overtop those of 1875 cannot yet be
even estimated with any degree Of Ger
tainty.-Bah. Sun.

Our Beautiful Home Meath the Shade
Of the Hill.
TO MY SISTER HARRIErTE.

TO MY SISTER HARRIETTE.
The day drags along, with its dull weary
The sun sinks to rest, and the twilight is
chill;
While here in my cottage, ] dream of the
past time,
And our beautiful home, meath the shade
of the hill.
see it so plain-with its wide shady porches,
Where always we gathered at the close of
the day;
When the apple trees bIossomed, aud the
wheat fields were waving,
And the willows swayed low to the rilPs
gentle lay.
hear the old mill, with its lively stacatto,
As it turned ont its billows of -four so
white:
And its brown wheel low dipping, and CATCH
ing the waters,
And splashng, and dashing, in the SUMS
golden light.
The old saw mill near-witk its might,
slowly severing
The huge logs before it, and waiting for
more
How we watched the meek oxen, in their
slow gait arriving,
To lay their rough burdens before the mill
door
And our sweet little t'Mame,' in her bright,
blue-eyed beauty,
How our hearts chung around her-in idol
atrous love!
But our pure flower faded, and our home it
was shadowed
Our precious one left us-she rests up above.
Oft we stood in the garden, and gazel to the
soufhward,
And the tears-all unbidden-our eyes could
For we thought of the little grave, in the
church yard,
In sigh, of our home, meath the shade of
the HILL
listen in dreams for the plash of the waters
As they dash DER the stones, that be-
sprinkled the bed
OF the stream, winding through the green
veil in the distance,
And is lost to my view-and the dream il
has fed.
The porches are peopled, and children are
singing
Their songs through the halls, where SO
lately we dwelt;
But strange are the faces that peer through
the windows,
And strange are the forms round the
hearth where we knelt.
To watch the bright FIRE, and build fairy
castles,
Or tell 10 the group of young faces up
turned,
Gay stories of fairies and giants and wonders,
Or histort, and Bible lore eagerly learned.
Then the mammoth old kitchen with its cav
ernous chimney,
Where gallons of :Esduceh were stirred
through the night,
O'er logs from the forest, in their six-footed
glory
Were piled helter skelter, and we needed no
light.
see it all now in my fevered nights dream
When the moon shines around so cold, and
so clear;
think of the stranger round the old "hoIse-
hold ingle''-
And brush from my cheek, the burning hot
tear.
The greed of bright gold, and the grasping
for money
A mans broken word-and the fiat was
given;
And we were thrust out, while his face was
the blandest,
And pray that this crime may by God be
forgiven.
see the green hills and the shadowy places
Up by the race bank, and blossomed decked
lane;
Ny hot cheeks, in dreams, again press the
green moses,
And aching brows yield up, for a time,
their dull pain.
But the dreams rudely broken, by the days
garish sunlight,
Dispersed is the trance-and the gloom's
round me still;
My heart in its anguish, cried out that its
dreamland,
Be "our beautiful home meath the shade of
the hill

The AMERICAN FARMER for May is promptly
issued, containing mass Of valuable instruc-
ton in every branch of husbandry. Space
will permit allusion to bat few of The promi-
nent papers in this Mb-one Of the several
breeds of improved Cattle for the Dairy, con-
tains a fund Of useful information which
should be understood by every farmer-an-
other on Sheep husbandry, and one on the
rearing of Swine, and others on Poultry-rais-
ing, with the best breeds and their manage
ment. Mr.. Holman, of Virginia, continues
his essays on Wheat Culture, and the value
Of ammonia TO that crop; a subject which he
shows is of unlimited Importance to the grain
grower. A paper on the future Of Fruit Gull
ture on the peninsula of Delaware and Mary
land, which will be read with interest. The
usual directions for the farm and garden
work are given, and are unusually useful at
this opening Of the Spring season. The
Horticultural Department and the Apiary
receive due attention as usual. Exceedingly
able essays on Corn and Cotton culture, on
the proper application of Fertilizers, on the
Grasses, from able pens, are given, and
numerous other papers on almost every sub
ject, especially those requiring attention at
this time of year. Any single paper on those
alluded to above, is worth to the intelligent
farmer and gardener more than the years

On Wednesday next the great Cen

every class. and Of every section Of the
country, will be opened. Elsewhere

numbers Of people are already 10 the

scene will be one, the equal Of which
but few people, if any, have ever seen'
and which probably none will ever see
again, unless they live to see the next
Centennial anniversary Of American
nationality, which is little uncertain
to say the least Of it. Therefore who

not afraid Of big crowd-should en-

The New Orleans Democrat flies the

The Augusta, Ga. Constitmionalist
calls Tilden "the great Known"
The Easton Argus wants Governor
Bedle. of New Jersey, nominated as the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency
Carl Pretzel's Weekly, humorous
journal published in Chicago, suggests
General John A. Logan for the Presi-
dency.
Hon James A. Stewart. chief Judge
of the first Judicial district of Mary yland /,
is spoken of as democratic candidate
for the vice-presidency.
This is from the Cincinnati CONNER
cial: 1.-The Pennsylvania delegates are
said to be for Hartranft first. and will
take notes. for second choice.
The Cincinnati Commercial thinks that
the first step in civil service reform is
to elect a President who will head the
government with good example
At the municipal election in Indian
apolis Tuesday the Republicans carried
the city by 1000 majority and elected
eleven out of thirteen Councilmen.

but who's Honesty?
Mr. Tilden is perhaps the wealthiest
of the various candidates named for the
Presidency. He is said to be worth
$4,000, 900, and is bachelor at that.
Bristow is the only candidate for the
Presidency whose chances were ever
injured by suspicion Of his honesty.
That's the opinion of the Louisville
Courier Journal
MARYLAND AND THE VICE PREsI-
DENcY THE Hagerstown News sug-
gests Hon. VIM. 7. Hamilton for Vice
President on the democratic ticket, and

dental candidates visit the Centennial
buildings in body Considering their
reciprocal friendly feelings, Oh that oc-
casion the police might be given holi-

Horatio Seymour's advice to the
Democrats at Utica deserves to be re-
membered. 1t was not enough for them
to show that the other party was unfit
for power; they must show themselves
fit for it, ''Unless we show that" said
he, Il. for one, pray God that We may
never come into power,
The St. Louis Times says: "The
only expectation of the nomination Of
Bristow at Cincinnati lies in the hope
that the Independents small frac-
ton of the Republican party, will rule
the organization" but adds, when the
planets begin to regulate tue movements
