Our quotations this morning indicate
tendency to increased frmness in the
American breadstutf market on account
Of the outlook of affairs in Europe be.
tween Russia and Turkey. There is q
heavy movement Of wheat from the West
to the seabord going on, so heavy that
the difficulty is to End transportation for
it. And speaking Of wheat, we notice that
the London Eeonouia concludes from
survey Of the field that the prices OF wheat
will range higher for ayear to come.
Russia from being the chief source OF
wheat supplies, has taken rank consid.
erably below that Of the United States !;
the Hungarian product has steadily de-
clined; France can no longer be depend.
ed on as an exporting country; and the
English crop has been steadily declining.
This declension in Europe has arisen en-.
tirely from the successful competition OF
American grain; and at present there are
no signs that our progress in competition
has reached It's limits.
The advantages which have given US
this ascendaucy in the grain trade are
telling equally in our favor as producers
oil animal food. During late years, our
exports of beef and Of hog products have
progressed in q remarkable ratio; and a
large portion of the increased shipments
has gone to Great Britain. The course
Of these exports, irOm 1869 to 1875, is in
dieated in the following statement OF the
shipments OF PORK, bacon and hams and
beet to the United Kingdom

The largest increase has been in hog
products; the shipments Of bacon and
hams being in 1875 Eve fold what they
were in 1869. During the same period
the exports OF packed beef have doubled;
snd now arrangements have been estab-
li.hed for shipping important quantities
Of fresh beef for the English markets.
This increased importation Of animal
food from the United States is easily ac-
counted for by 4 comparison Of the fol.

RELIGIOUS.

The official returns of the Methodist
Episcopal conferences for the year 1876
show net increase of lay members for
the year of 81 ,5OS persons.
The woman's missionary society OF
Kentucky raised 81, 800 in the first year
of its operation. The money was di-
vided between home and foreign missions.
The Wesleyan Methodists of Great
Britain with membership of less than
500. 900, gave last year for the support
of the missionary work 5000, 600 or nearly
two dollars per member.
Durham cathedral, England, has been
reopened after its restoration. The bish-
op of the diocese declined to take part in
the services, on the ground that the
money expended on the fabric would
have been better devoted to the relief of
the spiritual destitution of poor parishes.

BEAUSOF FORMER TIMES.

We much question whether the cele-
brated Beau Brummel, and even the
equally celebrated Romeo Coates, were
not absolutely mere Quakers in their
dresscompared with some of the dis
tinguished dressers Of the former days.
Sir Walter Raleigh wore white satin
pinked vest, close-sleeved to the wrist;
over the body a brown doublet finely
howered and embroidered with pearl.
In the feather of his hat large ruby,
and pearl drop at the bottom of the
sprig in place of button; his trunk OF
breeches, with his stockings and ribbon
garters, fringed at the end, all white, and
buff shoes with whith ribbon. On great
court days his shoes were 80 gorgeously
covered with precious stones as to have
exceeded the value of $500, and he
had a suit of armor of solid silver, with
sword and belt blazing with diamonds,
rubies, and pearls.
King James favorite, the duke of
Buckingham, could afford to have his
diamonds tackled so loosely on that when
he chose to shake off few on the ground
he obtained all the fame he desired from
the pickers up, for our duke never conde-
scended to accept what he himself had
dropped. His c'oaks were trimmed with
great diamond buttons, and he wore dia-
mond hat bands, cockades and earrings
yoked with great ropes and knots of
pearls. He had twenty-seven suits Of
clothes made, the richest that mbroidery
lace, silk, velvet, silver, gold, and gems
could contribute, one of which was a
White uncut velvet set all over, both
suit and cloak, with diamonds valued at
fourscore thousand pounds, besides a
great Gather stuck all over with dia-
monds. as were also his sword, girdle,
nat, and spurs. When the difference in
the value of money is considered the
sums thus ridiculously squandered in
dress must have been prodigious.-

HORRORS or THE MErBoPOLIS.

A terrible revelation was made by the
police Friday, says the New York Ex-
press, who report the discovery of a
mother and child dead, and their bodies
in such fearfullY emaciated condition
as to leave no room for doubt that they
died of starvation. The woman's name
was Celia Cox, and she had lived in a
little rear room on the fourth floor of the
big tenement house, No. 102 Washing
tor street. Stretched out upon a miser-
able apology for bed, upon the floor,
the officer found the bodies Of the woman
and infant child. They had been dead
about three days.
The dead woman's face looked more
like that of skeleton than that of per
son who had but recently died. Her
thin cheeks were sunk so that they al
most met, clearly showing every bone
about the mouth and forehead. The
eyes were sunken nearly out of sight,
and the thin hazds lying on Der breast
were transparent. A large brown bible

her jaw from falling. Her teeth could
be plainly counted through her thin lips,
and the bones about her shoulders
seemed ready to cut through the skin.
Beside her, with its tiny head resting
peacefully, lay the dead child. 1t was
the merest phantom of human being,
and had turned perfectly black. One
little hand was laid lovingly on its
mothers breast, while it's feet reached
scarcely to the mothers elbow.
1t weighed about two pounds, and
doctor who subsequently saw it stated
that he had never seen anything human
so wasted. The husband of the dead
woman is a sailor on line of boats run
ming from this port to Richmond Vir-
ginia. The neighbors thought the name
of the vessel was Tigris," "Tedus or
" T1dus." He earned but little money,
and was from home so long at time that
what little money was lett lasted but
half through his absence, and his wife, to
supply herself with the necessaries of life
had pawned every available article in her
possession until she had nothing left.
She was too i'll to work, and tor the last
two weeks was confined to her miserable
bed.
The neighbors all sreak of Cox as hav
ing peen can extra fine man, and very
kind to his sickly wife" Mrs. Cox was
but twenty-seven years old, but as she
lay in her coffin 1t seemed almost impos-
sible to think her under forty-tve or
fifty.

NO POCKET.
BY SARAH WINTER KELLOGG.

1t was at Katie McPherson's Christmas
party that the announcement was made,
in the dining-room, where scores of
bright children were assembled to par
take of the good things which Mrs. Nc
Pherson had bountifully provided, jim
my johnson made the announcement,
and this it was:
Bushy Caruthers aint got no pock-
et!p
Jimmy delivered this in such tones
and with such a manner as he might
have used if he had said; Bushy Car
uthers aint got no thumbs!" or Bushy
Caruthers aint got no nose ;"
Hasn't he 20 said BoSby Smedley,
with as much eager concern as Jimmy
johnson, or, indeed, the most exacting
news bearer could have asked or desired
Hasn't he 20 said also Dickey Simp-
kins.
There was that in Dickey's tone which
added, Pm glad I'm not in Bushy's
trousers"
Nellie Partridge, who was one of Jim
nv Johnson's audience, opened her eyes
roundly and puckered her mouth into a
perfect o, and then gave vent to long
Why !" of astonishment.
No. he aint got no pocket" Jimmy
repeated, with no abatement in his can
you-believe-it manner.
"That's cause he's a little boy" said
Tommy Mayneer, who was large of his
age.
With this explanation, Tommy thrust
his hands into his trousers pockets, drew
himself up to the full capacity of his
inches, and marched back and forth a
few PAGES with great dignity.
Nellie Partridge, who, l much fear,
will in time grow to be a gossip, hurried
ever to the group of children in the
next corner, and repeated, with solemn
eyes:
-" Say Bushy Caruthers aint got no
pocket" !"
"Did you ever ?" said one little audi
tor. Its too bad" said another.
" Whyl" exclaimed a third, hurrYing
away to carry the news to the next
group of children. Then the word went
to the company of little folks collected
at the window thence to the children
outside the dining door in the hall,
on and on, until everybody knew that
Bushy Caruthers was so unfortunate rs
to be at party where candy and nuts
and oranges and all manner OF good
things abounded, and where there was
Christmas tree, and yet to have no
pocket.
What made it worse was, that it wass
Mrs. McPherson's way at her Katie
Christmas parties always to insist upon
each little guest filling his or her pockets
with good things TO take home.7
Poor Bushy
After while the word reached Busbv
himself. OF course he knew he hadn't
any pocket before the children flocked
around him with their expressions of
coincidence and their eager inquiries and
exclamations of concern; but until he
had heard these, and seen the consterna-
ton of the little faces, he had no con-
ception of the magnitude of his misfor-
tune. When this really dawned upon
Bushy, he thought he ought to cry; but

THE EAST INDIAN HORROR.

The details of the cyclone, with its
accompanying tidal-wave, which re-
Gently ravaged the coast of India, are
almost too horrible for belief No
such slaughter of human life by the
elements has ever been recorded. In
one night, and in the twinkling of an
eye, 800, 900 human beings were swept
ottt of existence The localities which
were ravaged appear to have been
three large islands-Hattiah, Sundeep
and Dakhan Shahabozhare, some
smaller islands, and a portion OF the
main land in or near the estuary of the
river Megus, on the southern shore of
India, the submerged territory contain
ing about $40, 900 people, of whom 9O0,-
OO0 were drowned. The coast at this
point is entirely fat and low, bearing the
same relation-to the ocean that our Prai-
ries do to the lake The land is culti-
waited for rice and cotton like other bot
tom lands, is penetrated by bayous and
rivers, and stretches back upon perfect
level to the mountain tanges. The
monsoons set in abotit the middle of
October, and this year have blown with
terrific violence. On the night of Octo-
her 3Ist no danger was feared, although
the storm was raging with great severity,
but one hour later a huge wave twenty
feet in height and miles in length, fol-
lowed by smaller waves, came tearing in
from the sea with the swiftness ofa race
horse. Every human being who could
not escape to the tops of the trees was
drowned The houses which are low,
Ohe-story structures, were smashed like
egg-shells and swept away. Cattle and
all other animals were drowned. Moth
ing was left that the huge tidal-wave
struck, except trees here and there. One
may form some conception of The awful
scene by imagining some terrible whirl-
wind lifting up a wave on lake Michigan
twenty feet high, stretching from the
north to the south limit of the city, and
in an instant of time engulfing Chicago
and drowning over two-thirds of its pee
pie, calamity compared with which our
fiery visitation weuld appear insignifi-
cant. 1t adds to the terror of the event
that the stencil from the putrefying
bodies has developed cholera among the
and that famine has also
added its ravages to increase the fearful
and pitible condition of these people.
In all the worlds record of horror, in all
the ravages of fire, earthquake, or even
the blOodiest wars, it is hardly possible
to recall any surprising this Indian hor-

THAT WONDERFUL INVENTION, THE
TELEPHONE.

An experiment was made recently with
the new telephone, invented by Professor
A. Graham Bell, on the telegraph line
used by the Eastern railroad company
between Boston and Salem. Professor
Bell was assisted by Mr.. Wright and
Mr.. Nutting, telegraph operator at the
Boston end, and by Mr.. Thomas A. Wat
son, an associate of Professor Bell, as
sisted by Miss Webb as operator at the
Salem end. There were present at the
Boston end, as witnesses of the expert
ment. the president of the Eastern rail-
road, general A. F. Rockwell, with his
wife. Miss Stearns, Mr.. Morrison and
Mr. Eustis Hubbard. A battery for the
occasion was kindly supplied by the
manager of the Western Union telegraph
company. Conversation was carried on
with Mr.. Watson at Salem, by all those
present. in turn, without the slightest
difficulty. even the voices OF the speakers
being easily recognized. Whispering
was found TO be perfectly audible, but
was unintellieibIe. Aftera time, instead
of grounding the wire at Salem. 1t was
connected with North Conway, dis
tance of one hundred and forty three
miles from Boston, thus leaving Salem as
a way station. After this change had
been made there was a slight diminution
in the leudness of the tones, but no did
