for the aesthetic, which was most
marked in the direction of pictures
and statuary. His place, near Bos-
ton, is spoken of as one of the won
ders Of that wonderful part OF the
country. A magnificent house
stands in a beautiful park, filed
with rare and costly works of art,
purchased by their owner at home
and abroad. His family was greatly
attached to him, as he was to them.
His eldest son, Alvin, jr., was in
his fathers Office, but died Young.
Waldo is the present Boston agent.
and bids fair to worthily represent
the tact and talent of the father.
Necessarily, New York became the
head center Of the business dis
tdbuting point. Mr.. Adams early
foresaw that this would be the case,
but nothing could induce him to
leave Boston. He came on fire.
qQently to see that everything was
right, but he was glad to get away
and glad to get on State street
again. A more genial man never
lived. He saw all who called on
him. He never proiessed the
orthodox creed Of his fathers, but
did good work all his life, giving
most generously of his bounty.
His clerks and men were proud
and fond OF him. He cared for
their wants, studied their comfort,
looked after their families, and
when he gave advice gave money
with it. In many social respects
he was model man. AS the foun-
der of unique business, he was
sagacious. Asa business man he was
honest and successful. His death
is lamented by the merchants of
Boston, with whom he was associ-
ated intimately nearly forty years,
and whom he served with fidelity
and promptness. His associates
feel grieyed beyond expression, and
so to attend his funeral with unaf
fected regret.

since, and after several persons had
given in their experience an old
chap who appeared to be a stranger
in town took the floor. Said he:

Of Cincinnati, and made no resist
anee to arrest. He was taken to
the station, where a search made a
novel development. In his pocket
was found a bottle of sticky tar,
and seventeen one dollar bills, all
daubed with tar in a circular
shape, as though done by the fer
rule of cane. An examination of
the cane showed that the end of it
was covered with tar.
The whole game was now plain
to the police, or at least they
jumped at a very natural conclu-
sion. 1t seems probable that the
mode of operation is, to enter a
saloon, to call for beer, and when
the barkeeper turns to draw the
beer, to reach over the cane and
pick up piece of currency by
means of the adhesive substance on
its end.

A SHREwD DEVICE.
What Appears TO he . New Thieves,
"RRcket,"

hhchet,"
81: Louis Republican,
A very unique method of sneak
thieyery came to the notice of the
Third district police yesterday. A
little widow, who keeps a saloon on
Broadway, was one of the victims
Of the scheme. Two nice looking
young men, one of them carrying
a cane, entered her saloon and
called for some beer, She is very
certain that at the time they came
in she had three one-dollar bills on
the shelf back of the counter, it
being u custom in saloons of late to
leave the moneys open to view, be-
yond reach of parties standing out
side the counter.
When the two young men de-
parted she discovered that the three
dollars was missing, and although
she could not guess how it was
dens she felt confident they were
the thieves. In the afternoon the
young man with the cane came in
again for bepr, and this time the
little woman determined to test the
correctness of her suspicious, She
called in officer Warren and gave
hersurprised customer into custody,
lie gave his name as Chas. Haines,

THE WHEAT CROP.
Washington Dispatch TO the N. Y. Trit

Washington Dispatch TO the N. Y. Tribune.1
The latest returns received at the
Agricultural Department show that the
winter wheat crop, already safely har-
vested, is the largest produced In this
country for many years. The spring
wheat is also in excellent condition, and
an unprecedented yield is expected. The
cotton prospects are also more favorable
than last year at this time, the product
being estimated at upwards of 1850, 600
bales. The wheat crop last year was
260, 900, 600 bushels. This year it will be
more than 100000 bushels. The
average export for five years has been
81, 100000 bushels. The largest amount
bushels. OF this years crop not less
than 100,000,0 900 bushels will be sent
abroad.
Another important circumstance in
connection with our abundant harvest
is the reduced production OF Southern
Russia, resulting from the disturbed
conditi IN Of affairs In the country ad.
jacent to the Black sea. Recent special
reports from Southern Russia report the
estimated crop of the present season at
less than half Of the former years.
Russia has hitherto been been our only
great rival in the English wheat mar
ket. Before 1872 Russia shipped almost
as much wheat to the markets OF the
world as the United States. Last veal
the Russian supply was only one third
as great as that of the United States,
and for the present year it is shown by
official communications that the pro-
portion of Russian wheat will be much
less. It is shown by official reports that
the wheat crop in California for the
present season Is small. 80 that the esti-
mated surplus OF 100, 900, 900 bushels will
be produced east of the Rocky noun.
