THE Eastern grain market seems to
be leaving New, York, and is seeking
other outlets to the Atlantic. From
January to April 10. New York re-
ceived 8,5OO,OOo bushels of grain; during
the same period Baltimore and Phila.
delphia received 11,500,0O0 bushels.
Even Boston. though more remote from
the grain growing districts of the coun-
try, is increasing her grain market more
rapidly than New York. New York has
failed to supply transfer facilities. SO
that handling grain there for shipment
lis more expensive than in the other sea-
board cities. Railroad determinations
have likewise curtailed shipments to
New York from the West. Vanderbilt
is said to be raging over the loss Of his
freight, and is going to see what can be
done about it. Presuming that the grain
trade OF the West mast come to her, New
York has been too greedy Tor her own
good.

Root Pruning.

DR.. Hull, the well-known pomologist
of Alton, ILL.,, spoke as follows at tue
annual meeting Of the American Po-
mological Society:
nave seen great revolutions in fruit
growing, having been resident of Hi
nois for tWenty-nine years. at tirsJ it
was declared that no cultivated fruits
could be grown In the middle and
northern parts of the State. But de-.
termlned to raise the finest fruit or
none, and have succeeded. l com.
meneed root pruning as an experiment
TO produce fruits on rapidly growing
trees that did not bear, not expecting
that it would do to continue il any
length of time; but to my surprise the
trees that were severely roOt-pruned
not only bore the most and best fruits,
but they continued the most healthy.
and stood the severe WInLer the best.
From this fact L studied out the needs
OF the tree, and have found out that all
trees and plants store up each year a
certain amount OF food for specific
purpose alone. Now we can direct the
forces of any tree so chat it will store up
food for fruit production, If we wish,
and not inJure tue tree thereby.

Dangerous SouambuIism.

The LyncnDurg Virginian of Thurs
day, says: GAS The north-bound passen-
ger train on The Virginia Midland Road,
due here at 6 A. M, was approaching
CharlJttesvIlle last night a young man
who had been soundly slumbering in his
seat, was seen suddenly to leap up, rush
to tue door of the car, and spring to the
ground. Capt. Peyton rang the bell, but
as the train was rushing along at the
rate OF thirty miles an hour, it had gone
a considerable distance before it was
brought to stand still. II was started
back, and the young man was met, rum
ming at full speed, and making night
hideous with his screams TO stop them
cars.' lie was taken aboard, and an
examination developed the fact that his
injuries amounted to nothing worse than
a skinned nose and slight abrasion
upon his hip, caused by a pistol in his
pocket, which strange to say. had not
been discharged by the jar. The young
mans explanation was that he dreamed
there was a collision, and ne jumped off
to save himseii.n

A sanguinary duel took place In
France the other dav. In a healed polit-
ical discussion blow was given by
Count'de X to the Duke OFF,. The
Duke didn't return the blow; but few
minutes later finding himself alone with
The gentlemen who were TO act as his
seconds, he took an oath never to see
his wife or little girl again until he had
washed away the insult in the blood of
the Count. The next day the duel took
place. The Duke was wounded twice
in the forearm and in the right side-be-
fore the Count had received a. scratch;
but the Duke, Notwithstanding the
suffering and loss of blood from his
wounds, insisted on continuing the
fight. The duel went on; the Duke, max
ing superhuman effort, drove his sword
through his adversary, who fell liteless.
Then, pallid as death, bathed in his own
blood, and with difficulty sustaining
himself, the Duke drew a white hand
kerchiet from his pocket, and bending
over the Counts body, dipped the hand
kerchlef in the blood gushing from his
adversary's death wound, and turning
aghast, the Duke raised the blood
stained cloth to his face and said: "You
will tell them, gentlemen, how the Duke
oil & avenged the insult to his honor.
l wash away the insult with the blood
OF the one who iDsulted me-" He then
said to his own seconds: "Take this
handkerchief, which | conflde to you,
to the Duchess. my wife; enjoin upon
her as a duty TO place it among the
wedding presents olmy daughter when
she shall be married; it is her fathers
gilt 10 her-the purify Of his name" The
words were hardly spoken when the
Duke tell back dead; and in death his
features looked calm and proud, and
almost wore a smile. His honor had
been satisfied.

THE Bank of England has reduced its
rates of discount to two per cent. This
is the lowest rate upon which that bank
ever does business. Itindicates extreme
sluggishness in trade in England, when
money can nor command over two per
cent. British economists think that this
dullness will continue for some time, to
be followed by great activity in busi-
ness.
