them to- pitched battle, in which they
had shown themselves the equals, if not
the superiors, of the Russians, were
abandoned, and detachments sent
against isolated spots. Wherever a
footing was obtained, there a fort was
erected. But this plan also failed. The
Circassians kept up their offensive opera
tioEis, and in 1876 they swept the chain of
Russian forts and returned otheir noun
tains laden with plumber. This victory
was repeated in 1913 and 1850, and in
1853 they drove the Russians back rom
eight leagues of territory. During the
Crimean war Russia had her hands full
elsewhere, and Shamyl was compar-
atively inactive. As soCn as the treaty
of Paris was signed the czar reopened
the war. Shamyl held out heroicllv for
three years, but the capture of Veden
in April, 1859, virtually decided the con-
test. Shamyl retired to the mountain
fastness of Gkunib, near the Caspian sea.
Here on September 9Th, after one Of the
most desperate conflicts of history, he
was forced to surrender, and carried
prisoner to Moscow and st. Petersburg.
With this battle all active efforts to main
tain the independence of Circassia
ceased. ShamYl was treated with dis
tinguished courtesy by the Gar, who
settled pension of 10000 roubles upon
him. In 1870 the old hero repaired to
the shrine of Mahomet. where he died
the following year. Although subject
to Russia, the Circassians have not aban-
doned their hopes of freeing their country
with the assistance of their old allies,
the Turks. In 1856 they sent
deputation to Constantinople
imploring the sultan's protection
in 1862 deputation arrived in London
and presented a petition to the queen
protesting against Russian rule and the
right of Turkey to cede their country as
she had done nearly thirty years before,
and in 1862, during visit of the czar
Alexander ii. to the Caucasus, a delega-
tion Of Circassians waited upon him,
praying to be left in possession of their
country, and promising to live On
terms of peace and amity with the
Russians. The emperor refused, and
offered them the alternative of war or
emigration. The mountaineers chose the
former, but their great leader was sadly
missed, and after years fighting they
submitted, and there was great emigra-
tion of about 200,0 900 persons to Turkey.
The CircassiAns yet remaining in the
Caucasus are still discomfort and ripe for
revolution, and if young Shamyl have
but half the heart of his father, the
Russian armies now operating in Asia
Minor may suddenly find a more formid-
able foe in their rear than in front of
them.

According to the most moderate esti-
mate, the average quantity of cereals
necessary for the consumption of each
| inhabitant is ii $40 bushels per annum,
and, therefore, all the states that come
a ter Sweden upon the list have to
obtain grain supplies from other coun-
tries. In this country three-Gfths of the
cereal production consists OF corn. In
Europe oats predominant, and next in
quantity come wheat, rye, barley and
corn. Russia, Prussia, and France pro
duce large wheat crops, and the two first
are our greatest competitors in the Eng
lish market. In ROumania and Servia
corn takes the first rank. Prior to 1860
Russia and Prussia led the United States
in the supply of wheat. From 1859 to
1861 the exports of wheat from this
country to England sprang suddenly
up from 340, ,504 cwt. to Is, ,510,472 cwt.,
while in the same period Russia advanced
only from 1887, ,454 cwt., to 4, 4,467, ,483
cwt., and Prussia from 3,345, ,30l cwt., to
4, ,462, ,573 cwt. The lead taken so sud-
denly by this country has ever since been
maintained. Tables covering the years
from 1860 to 1872 show that the United
States supplied England during that
period with 28.5 per cent. of her total
imports of wheat, including -four,
against PAT per cent. from Russia, and
17.2 per cent. from Germany. In the
same period England imported 43 per
cent of her total importations of corn
from this country. In 1852 the exports
of corn from his country to Great Britain
only amounted to I,341 ,304 bushels,
against 1,795.682 bushels from Turkey
and Roumania, and 1,795,6S2 bushels
from Russia. At present Roumania and
southern Russia, to lesser degree, are
our principal competitors in the supply
of corn. The year 1876 was a good
harvest year in England; prices were
low, and the total imports of wheat were
only 44,394, 152 cwt., against 81 1886, 1893
cwt. in 1875. The following table gives
the sources of supply:

THE EMPTY CRADLE.

Sad Is the heart of the mother
Who sits by the lonely hearth,
Where never again the children
Shall waken their songs of mirth.
And still through the painful silence,
She listens for voices and tread,
Outside Of the heaft, there only
She knows that they are not dead.
Here Is the desolate cradle,
The pillows SO lately pressed,
But far away has the birdling
Flown from its little nest.
Grooming he lullRbies over,
That once were her babe's delight,
All through the misty spaces
She follows its upward fight.
Little she thought of moment
So gloomy and sad as his
When close TO her heart she gathered
Her child for its good-night kiss.
She should be teDderly cherished,
Never u grltf should she know,
wealth, and the pTid Of princess,
These would mother bestow.
And this is the darling portion
In heaven-where she has fled;
By angels securely guarded,
By angels securely led.
BrOOding in soTrowful silence
Over the empty nest.
Can you not see through the shadows
Why il is all for the best?
Better the heavenly Kingdom
Than riches or earthly crovfi,
Better the early morning flight,
Than one when the sun Is down;
Better an empty skeI
Than the jewels besmlrched with SIN,
Safer thai these without the fold
Are those th1t have entered in.

EhIttIinC Strangers out of Mormondom

w nlClll0S StIduSOA SOutOA 1uOAulOnuOhls
A duty assigned to the police was to
watch all strangers that came into the
city, and whittle every suspicious person
out of town. This whiting process was
peculiar. Some ten or fifteen Mormons
would get around the man they wanted
to drive away, each with keen ground
butcher knife, and a piece of soft wood
in his hand. They would crowd close up
to him and commence whiting, all cut
ting toward him, but ne one apparently
paying the least attention to the stranger.
Surrounded and threatened thus, the
poor man was compelled TO retreat from
the town. On his retreat he was sur
rounded by whittlers whiting, whit
tling, some of them make skittish lunges
toward his breast and arms. If he took
his escort quietly, very well. If he was
foolish enough to resist or threaten, he
was very likely to be put out Of the way.
