Eceenfricitles of Wheat.

The Monroe On. CO. Enquirer says. :
Mr.. G. A. Winchester received a small
package of wheat from the Agricultural
Department. last fall, which he sowed.
While it was growing he noticed that
two grains produced different kind OF
stalk. from the rest, and when ripe he
gathered eleven heads from these two
grains and has saved them for planting
again. The size and shape of the two
heads are the curiosity They measure
one and half inches in length and above
one-fourth of an inch wide and one-third
of an inch thick, the grains being in two
almost separate clusters, the whole head
having good deal the appearance Of an
ear of corn with about three rows shelled
out on two opposite sides. The heads
averaged about eighty grains each. He
wishes to find out the name of the wheat,
if any one has any knowledge of it.

The President and the Maine Convention

.tf &
There has been a good deal Of curios-
ity here to know how the President re-
garded the performance Of the Maine
Republicans. Several gentlemen who
called upon him found him maintaining
his usual apparent equanimity. He was
not at all averse to conversing upon the
subject. He said that, while he would
Of course have been greatly pleased if
the Republican Convention in Maine had
adopted a resolution indorsing him and
his administration of the Government,
yet he was not in the least disturbed by
it's failure to do so. The introduction of
such a resolution and the speeches
made in favor of it indicated what
he well knew before, that he had a
considerable backing in the Pine Tree
State. Referring to Senator Blaine's
course, he said he was not surprised by
that either, as Mr.. Blaine had taken ex-
actly the same course that might have
been expected from his utterance at
Woodstock. Mr. Hayes also remarked
that the proceedings in Augusta showed
the feeling and influence of individual
members of the convention rather than
the general feeling of the whole body.
The President expressed confidence that
it will not be long before the Maine Re-
