American Wheat i'm England.

The London Pail Mall Gazette says
The enormous import OF wheat from the
United States into this country, and the
probability that it will increase rather
than diminish in time to come, leads us
to reflect how it happens that Indian
corn, which is SO largely consumed in
various forms by all classes in America,
fails to find favor with Englishmen at
home. In some ways maize is certainly
to be preferred to wheat; and those who
have once acquired the taste for it on
the other side of the Atlantic certainly
miss the Indian corn on their return.
We suppose. however, that there is little
hope that our working classes will ever
take to this cheap, wholesome and nutri
tious food. The mere fact that it is
cheap, operates in some measure against
it's adoption. There is nothing, per
haps, in an Englishman's nature so
stupid as his dislike to have it supposed
that he is content with cheap food. And
Indian corn is very cheap. 1t is main
tanned by those who ought to be well
informed, that it pays to grow maize on
the plains at shilling bushel, and that
if there were sufficient demand it could
be proftably exported thence and sold
in our manufacturing cities at three
shiIlings bushel, or twenty-four shil-
lings a quarter-about half the price of
wheat

Scan and Disease.

The complaints that have been made
for some time past relative to the lmpu-
rites of soap, have, at last, taken def
mite shape, and it is averred by Phila-
delphia paper, on the authority of an
eminent physician" whose name is
not given, however, that these impuri-
ties are the principal cause of the grow
ing prevalence of diphtheria. It the
soap made to-day does not tend to pro-
duce diphtheria, it is strange if it is not
the cause of some kinds of disorders.
It is manufactured from all kinds of vile
stuff, the only aim being to perfume it
well. It is hawked about the streets in
most attractive shapes. and sold for a
song. It has long been claimed that the
most pungent of the so-called French
soaps are the most dangerous, and, look
ing at the price at which the greater
part is sold, there seems to be no ques-
tion of it. Soaps that once sold for 25
cents and over, can now be had for one
third and less that sum. Clearly such
goods cannot be trusted. Everybody
should be careful of the article of this
description he uses. Soap made from
the refuse of deceased animal, or from
refuse that has been permitted to decay,
cannot be safe, and the probability is
that vast proportion of that used to-
day is thus made up. Our people have
become so fastidious that none but the
humblest will use anything but scented
soap. The good, old, pure articles that
was once used by rich and poor alike, is
now TOO harsh and offensive for the deli
cate senses of this age. People would
rather use the delicate perfuraed stuff
that is full of danger, which, rubbed
over an abraded skin. may produce a
foul sore, than return to the habits of
other days. Commercial Advertiser.

An Affair of Honor.

The Baltimore papers print the fol-
lowing 'scard -
A member of Congress, no matter how in
significant he may be socially and politically,
may shield himself behind his privileges, while
grossly maligning the character of persons out
side of Congress and not entitled to similar
protection. This very unfair shield was taken
advantage of yesterday, on the floor of the
House. by one John D. White, member Of
Congress from Kentucky 1t is not necessary
here to quote his indecent language. He &C
c,lses me of being in collision with a Mr.. Eli
son. the engineer of the House. I here pro-
nounce his statements base, coWardly, false ;
alld I do this holding myself personally re-
sIonsible for my language If Mr.. John D
White, member of Congress from Kentucky, is
gentleman, or makes any pretenses to being
a gentleman, he will appreciate the meaning
of what say. VIM. W. Wilson,

Origin Of MetAnriteS.

The origin of these bodies is as yet a
matter of speculation. They enter our
atmosphere, however, with velocity so
great (often exceeding twenty miles per
secOnd) as to make it certain that they
do not come from any terrestrial source,
or even from the moon. And for the
same reason, they cannot well be, as
some have thought, tthe minute out
riders of the great family of the aster-
ODDS, for then the velocity with which
they would reach us would be only the
difference between their velocity and
ours. It seems impossible to avoid the
conclusion that their orbits must be I'M
planetary, not approximately circular,
but very eccentric, like those of comets
and the ordinary shooting stars. 1t may
be, as Mr.. Proctor has suggested, that
some of them, the slderites especially,
have been elected from our own OF some
other sun, by some of those tremendous
outbursts of solar energy which we oc-
casionally observe with our spectre
scopes; Or they may have originated, as
Moigno argues, in the cracking to pieces
of some old and used-up world
At present, all we know is that they
come to us from the outer darkness OF
interstellar space. AS Humboldt has
said: They present to us the solitary
instance of material connection with
something which is foreign to our planet.
We are astonished at being able to touch
weight, and chemically decompose me-
talIic and earthly masses which belong
to the outer world-to celestial space
and to find in them the elements of our
native earth, making it probable, as the
great Newton conjectured, that the ma
terials which belong to our group Of
cosmical bodies are, for the most part,
the same. Boston Journal Of Chem

Beyreuth says of the closing installment:
1.-The representation of The Ring of Nibelun-
gen was completed tonight, with the
performance of Gotterdammerung. The
conclusion was grandly tragic and majes-
tic. Anti-Wagnerites refuse to admit
that thew find much melody, but acknowledge
that the Nibelungen Triology is the greatest
work of the composer. They consider that
Herr Wagner has given the predominance to
the dramatic over the lyric element. Some acts
are wearisome, but it is admitted that Nibe-
lungen will be the model to future generations
as work of the highest dramatic and musical
character"
