The Times in its financial article has
the following: 1T seems from recent ar
ticles in the Moscow Gazette that great
stagnation prevails in the grain trade in
southern Russia. Russian agriculture
and commerce arc threatened with a col.
lapse. Chief among the causes is the
keen competition Of. America since the
civil war in that country. The British
import Of American wheat has increased
until IL stands now where Russian impor.
tation stood in 1869. Then Russia sent
out here 44-l00 of her total import. and
the United States only 4. In 1873 the
United States sent out 44.100 and Rus.

decrease to the extent. Of -. Russia's
total exports. On the contrary, they

Americas have increased much faster.
The causes are declared to be chiefly

more skill, but says cheaper inland trans.
portation is the chief need. The Gaxette's
Odessa correspondent writes that the
Oldest inhabitants declare Odessa was

bankruptcy follows bankruptcy. Houses
have fallen to thirty hundredths Of their

themselves to coin, but had also manu.

that Charley Ulrich, one of the most rex-

fined here, at once pointed him out as the

three days, and then the Warden found

1t has resently come to be known that
the late Vivc-President Wilson died
alone. AS it generally understood he
had been seriously sick, bit on the 2lst.
Of November was regarded convalescent,
and by the direction Of his physician was
to ride out the next day. He passed, q
comfortable night and woke bright and
cheerful the morning of the 22d. but
shortly afterwards sank back upon his
pillow and quickly entered into his
eternal rest. On that memorable morn
ing Mr.. J. W. Fralick, Of the St. Paul,
Minnesota, Pioneer Press. and also pro.
prietor of the american Centennial
Catalogue, had arrived in Washington,
and having spare early hour, directed
his steps to the Capital. While passing
through one of the halls tho door of I
room was opened, and an excited man
rushed out and by him, with the excla-
nation, "Oh !! he's dying."~ Mr.. .Fralick
moved to the door, which was open, and
saw within figure in : bed. but no
other person in the room. Hc: advanced
to bedside, took the hand of the occupant
and was satisfied that life was about
extinct. The attendent who had passed
him in the hall shortly returned, and
was soon followed by physician, whom
he had summoned. The latter examined
the patient and pronouced him dead, and
then for the first time Mr.. Fralick knew
that he was in the presence Of the mortal
remains Of Vice-President Wilson. -,4.
And thus under tho shadow Of the great
dome of the Capital, while the statue that
crowns its summit was. ablaze with the
earty sunlight, Henry Wilson, laborer,
statesman, liberator, passed to immor'
tality. s.%y<s<; !.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The annual sale OF
pews at Plymouth church took place this
evening. At 7:08 proceedings began by
Mr.. Beecher advancing to the front Of the
platform and speaking as follows:
1--WE all know the stringency of the
times. We all know that whether one be
rich or poor, or in moderate circumsta tances,
he has use for all the money he has got.
But I esteem that the instruction and
consolation and Indictment of the house
of God, according to your own experience,
to which appeal, have been such as that,
even in business point of view, it is
worth your while to pay something for
the privilege Of being here; for you have
not heen feed upon theology. dry, unat-
tractive, hard to take and hard to carry,
but rather on those truths that per-
tain to the life of the. soul and to
manliness in the struggle of life.
do know that scores and hundreds of you
it is part of my pride and my reward
as minister to say it-have been car.
ried through great trials in the louse
hold and in business by the stimulous of
moral truths which you have received
here"
Mr.. Edward E. Hoyt, auctioncer, then
read the terms of sale as printed upon
diagrams, and said:
'Now, ladies and gentlemen, 1 am
ready to take the first bid.''
At once some one called out $780,"
and from different parts of the house
were heard $780, "$600,' $780," and
the auctioncer's hammer fell while he
