that il is utterly devoid of the elements of
romance, and that it is as commonplace as
a plank-road or a grain elevator? On a

Is enough raw material to stock a dozen
sensational novels. Here is the checkered
life of an honored gardener in Denver, who
after being deceived by his wife in California
and rejected by another woman, turned
hermit and took to liquor and finally to
strychnine. Here is beautiful young
Mormon lass working in hair store at Salt
Lake who falls in love with her Gentle
employer, has her face slapped by her Nor
mon brother, and finally elopes with the
Young man. Here is railroad official in
Kansas City, whose wife fiirtsd with the boss
of shirt factory; the husband was jealous
and indignant; the wife made a scene; the
shirt factor left town; the wife coaXed her
husband to go East, find work, and build a
new home for her; while he was out of town
the wayward, willful lady took lawyer into
her confidence, and obtained a divorce
and now the shirt factor is in imminent
danger of being either killed or married.
Here is the desperate deed of Mexican
assassin, near Pueblo, Colorado, who kills q
ranchman, his wife, and his married daugh

New WHEAT FIELDs-While it is known
that Great Britain has largely to depend on
the United States for its bread supply, re-
quiring, it is estimated, this year fourteen
million quarters of grain from abroad, it is
evidently her purpose not always to be in
that position. The English government
seriously contenplates being soon able to
raise wheat in India sufficient to relieve her
wants. Official reports state that from up
per India, wherever canals ch0apen trans
port, wheat can be laid down in England at
four shillings a bushel less than the average
cost of American grain. 1t looks decidedly
visionary, yet it is suggested that in ten
years time India may be receiving one
hundred millions of dollars a year, now
paid to the United States, for wheat alone.
From Egypt we receive notice OF similar
competition in the not distant future. Ac-
cess is being opened out to the great Soudan
country at the upper sources of the Nile.
Wheat can be supplied in unlimited quan
titles. two crops year, at prices that will
make great changes in the commercial
channels of the world. America is rapidly
wasting its wheat lands by eternal cropping
and no manuring, not even variation o
production. Every year shows deterioration
Even in our new field of California lands
that used to boast of fifty bushels to thu
acre now average fifteen bushels. In the
order of Providence this prodigiality is SUR
to meet its just retribution.-BdLtfmOre S,t'i

The project of holding permanent ex-
hibition in the main building on the Cen
tennial grounds is advancing so rapidly that
yesterday the company formed for the pur-
pose purchased the property at a cost of
$25O,0OO. Having held the greatest and
grandest international Exhibition the world
ever saw, it is fitting instance of American
enterprise and energy that we should have
lasting "home show" unrivalled elsewhere;
and we do not doubt that it can be made a
success. Exhibitors of mechanical and
artistic products, the patsntees of new in
ventions and the proprietors of our great
manufactures will find in it a suitable loca-
ton for the display of specimens to the
largest advantage, and it can hardly fail TO
prosper and grow from year to year. 1t
must not be allowed to be a purely Phaa-
delphia or Pennsylvania project. England
turned the Sydenham Crystal Palace, in
which was held the Worlds Fair of 1852,
into permanent exhibition, but the space
afforded is not near so large as that of the
main building in Fairmount Park, and the
exhibition is more place of resort for the
middle-class London public than a deposi
tory Of important works of art, science and
industry. The Philadelphia managers pro
pose, however, very different plan; fol
while this exhibition will not be withou
popular attractions, it is destined for th'
higher purpose of being an art, scientific
and industrial eentre.-BaLtO. American.

A young man in Troy, N, Y, dreamt last
week that he was destined to become a
gambler. 1t made so deep an impression
upon him that he went down to his fsther's
store in the morning, built fire in the
stove swept out the Office, wrote letter to
the family, sending kisses to the children,
took off his coat and waistcoat and shot
himself. He blundered in his aim, and is
left to wrestle with his destiny as best he

The TELEPHoSE.-This process for talking
by telegraph was tried last week in Boston,
and the result is thus recorded: Prof. Bell
tried his telephone on the telegraph line be
tween Boston and Salem the other day, he
remaining in Boston. Conversation was
carried on with the operator at Salem with
out the slightest difficulty, even the voices
Of the speakers being easily recognized.
Whispering was found to be perfectly audi
able, but was unintelligible. After a time,
instead of grounding the wire at Salem, it
was connected with North Conoway, dis
lance of l43 miles from Boston, thus leaving
Salem as a way station. After this change
had been made there was slight diminu-
ton in the loudness of the tones, but no
difficulty was experienced in carrying on
conversation.
