Indian Corn StatisticaIly Considered.

The amount of Indian corn exported
from the United States last year has
been uuderstated at go, 600, 600 bushels
in the figures published by some papers.
The Bureau of Statistics reports it at
70, $50, 983 bushels. For the year ended
June 80, 1876, it was 49, 493, 572 bushels.
There has been a steady increase for
some years in this line of export, and
the same causes which nave operated to
make Indian corn more in request for
food abroad will undoubtedly work in the
future, Independently of Mr.. Hewitt's
proposed stimulus of the New England
kitchen at the Paris Fair. The quantity
of this staple exported is but small
fraction of the product, and it is not
strange that our political economists
should become enthusiastic at the
thought of converting Europe into a de-
voted customer for Indian corn. We
should then no longer hear of maize be-
ing consumed as fuel In the West be-
cause there was no better use for the
superintendent crops To enlarge the
market for the cereal would add directly
to the wealth and prosperity of this
country. Those who see the most fun
in Mr.. Hewitt's noticr recognize the

JOHN SOB.IES.KI.

1t is now near 200 years since the
great Polish warrior defeated the
Turks around the walls of Vienna.
The Turks had then as now control
of the Black Sea and the mouths of
the Danube, and up the great river
their fieets came to the Australian
capital, while their vast hordos
swarmed over tho land like de-
vouring locusts. They had secured
q revolt of Hungary against Austria
and with the alliance of these force
warriors, they had brought an army
of 300,000,men to the Austrian capi-
tai. Eleven years before, Sobieski
had defeated the Turks in Poland
and driven them out of his country.
He was then but general in the
army, but his courage md skill had
endeared him to the people and
upon the death Of King Cassimir,
he was elected to succeed him Q573.)
Ten years after, with 10000 chosen
warriors he marched to tho relief of
Vienna, and was joined by an equal
number of Germans. The Turks had
GLllOWu lluCS VI ClECtltD DVall0ClOn
around Vienna and limos of counter
valuation to repel any force coming
to the relief of the besieged city.
But Sobieski attacked them with
great fury in their intrench,aents
(Sept. 18th, 1889 and rooted them
with great slaughter. Ho then
marched into Hungary and subduod
that province back to Austrian rule.
But the Emperor Leopold manifest
ed no gratitude to the hero who
had marched to the rescue of tho
capital from which he had inglori-;
ousfy fed, King Sobieski had q wife
who manage to embroil him in
many difficulties and mako his reign
very unpopular. So when he died,
his dynasty died with him. The
people passed over his three sons
and chose Augusta Of Saxony to be
their sovereign. But Christendom
should cherish the memory of the
man who drove back the hitherto in
vincible masses of tho Turks and
stopped. their farther ravages in
Europe. ~,

A Wonderful Invention.

The French papers tell us Of a Won
derful invention, which will enable the
feeblest among us to switch the world
with noble workmanship" The horse
of the future is not to be driven by Or
binary reins, but by electricity COM
bined with them. The coachman is to
have under his seat an electromagnetic
apparatus, which he works by little
handle. One wire is carried through the
rein to the bit and another to the crup-
per, SO that a current once set up goes
the entire length of the animal along the
spine. A sudden shock will, we are
gravely assured, stop the most violent
runaway or the most obstinate iibber.
The creature, however strong and how
ever vicious, is sat once transformed
into a sort of inofensive horse of wood,
with the feet firmly nailed to the ground. ?"
Curiously enough, the opposite effect
may be produced by succession of
small shocks. Under the influence of
these the veriest screw can be suddenly
endowed with vigor and fire indie
scribable, and even the Rosinante of Don
Quixote would gallop like Derby win

Landowners i'm Great Britain.

The total number of landowners in the
United Kingdom has already been shown
to be under 100000. OF these, 523 peers
own between them one-ffth of the total
area OF the three countries, exclusive of
immortal wastes and woods, of which they
may be possessed; 5000 persons own
about two-thirds of the whole area, aver
aging $1,000 acres each; and 10000 per-
sons own about three-fourths, averaging
5000 acres each. Dividing the owners
of land into four classes, there are 5000
large proprietors, averaging 10000 acres
each; II, 900 medium-sized proprietors or
squires, with from 500 to 1000 acres
each; $4,000 persons owning from so to
500 acres each; and 100000 owning less
than 80 acres each. The proportions of
these classes vary very much in the three
countries. In Scotland, more than half
the land consists of mountain and moor,
of very little agricultural value, and held
in immense blocks. The remaining half
is owned by a very small number of per-
sons; the classes of yeomen and peasant
proprietors do not exist there. The same
must be said OF Ireland, where, notwith.
standing the effects of the Encountered
Estates act, under which, since 1848, up
ward of one-sixth OF the country has been
sold, the number Of landowners is most
conspicuously small. In England the
number is proportionally larger than in
the other two countries. The class of
yeomen still exists in some parts of it,
and there is also a certain number of
smaller proprietors. These, however,
cannot be ranked as class of peasant
proprietors. Such class does not exist
in England. The small properties are
for the most part in the neighborhood of
towns, where they consist Of villas,
market gardens, or other small plots

Wonderful GaS.JetS.

While boring for oil two miles from
Bradford, Pa, in the early part of Octo-
Der last, an immense vein of gas was
struck at a depth of $40 feet, SO strong
as to render further drilling impossible.
Running from the well are two two
inch pipes, attached to which are three
gas-jets of the same size, the gas belch-
ing forth from these pipes with such a
terrific rush and noise as to render con-
versation, pitched in the ordinary tone,
inaudible for fully one-fourth of mile
away. The blaze from each of the
three pipes is sent by the force of the
gas to a height of from twenty-five to
forty feet, the heat being SO intense as to
melt the snow entirely away for dis
lance of at least 100 feet, and also keep
ing the ground SO warm during all the
cold weather of the winter that grass,
strawberry vines, and other plants may
grow. In many places, where the crowd
of sight-seers have worn the ground, it is
very dusty. The light is SO strong that
a newspaper may be read half a mile
away. On very dark nights the illumi-
nation is grand. The light has frequent
~ been seen in Ocean, Salamanca, and
other towns twenty miles away.

Another Reported Human Fertilization,

On the 23d of June last J. L. Rastuer
died of abscess Of the liver. He was
buried in the Masonic cemetery, in a
wooden coffin, confined in the usual out
er case. On Thursday of last week an
undertaken of San Francisco had the
body removed to that city. The outer
case, when reached, broke through but
on opening the coffin the corpse was
found to be perfectly petrifed, and re-
tanning, even to the whiskers and hair, a
perfectly natural appearance. The body
was in such condition as to permit it's
being raised at the head and stood on it's
feet and handled as one would statue.
It was shipped as freight, inclosed in a
common wooden box, and weighing, box
included, 200 pounds. At the time of
his death deceased weighed lao pounds,
and as the box the body was shipped in
could not have weighed over sixty
pounds, the body seems to have lost
nothing in weight during it's six months

Women.

Malthusian doctrines, computes that,
taking the world for an average, woman
is worth about one-eighth of man. He
thinks there are at least $50, 10000 I'M
married women IN the world. AS rule,
out Of Europe, horses are more valuable
than members of the fair sex. However,
Esquimaux women are scarce, and each
one is probably worth two men. In new
settlements, such as many in California,
woman rises vastly in estimation
sometimes outvaluing even men-and it

upper hall, and, getting scared, makes a
bold rush down the stairs, catches his
foot III something and lands all in heap
at the bottom, knocking Charley's light
into smithereens and making most in
fernal noise. Caleott was smart enough,
though, to hold his jimmy steady so as
to keep the shutters apart, and after Frost
had picked himself up and they had both
listened, without hearing anything, one
of EN- says with an oath. "We're in q
box; let's get out" 1t was Frost. emo
you don't, " says the other. "We've come
for the stuff this time. I never was
beaten yet at this sort of game, and I
amt beat yet. Take your shooter, follow
me up and show me the way"
They got up to the top of the stairs.
1t was still as death, and Calcott lights a
bulps-eye. Frost was getting pretty
shaky. So Charley says, "Show me the
room, " and with his lamp in one hand
and pistol in the other he pushes in,
leaving Frost there in the hall watching
the square hole in the door, between the
shutters, and expecting every minute
that it would close up. It must have
been ten minutes before Calcott came
back. He had the lamp in hand yet, and
Frost saw that he was as white as sheet.
All he said was, "Come down, it's no

When they got to the bottom, the shut
tiers separated and disappeared, and the
men walked out "Where's the plum
der ?" asked Frost. ct haven't it, says
Charley 81 tell you it's no use-the
man is burglar-proof. If you don't be-
ieve it, go back and try it yourself. I'm
off I"
With this cock-and-bull story they got
back to their rendezvous. And it was
never known, I don't believe, till I inter
viewed Calico Charley up there at the
prison, that he had met his own father
that night. According to Charley's story
to me-the old man said he was wait
ing for him. And so struck was the son
with remorse that he lost all his pluck
and GOODNESS. Whether he ever went
back to the old man after he got rid of
his pal / never heard. But the gang had
two notions; one was that the place was
under special charge of the devil, and the
other was that Calico Charley grabbed a
lou or the plumber and then got up the
story to stop the mouths of the rest of
'em.
But the devil had nothing to do with
the place. It was all fixed by the old
mans ingenuity. The house was all
wires and levers from one end to t'other.
He could turn crank up in his bed
room and shut the whole house up as
tight as a drum. Then he'd slip down
into his cellar, turn half ton of char
coal into his furnace and kill everybody
in the place, unless everybody crawled
out of the one exit, and then the old fell
low had them at his mercy, one by one.

A CLOSED BOOK.
BY MARGARET VELEY.

II read il long ago, and as I read,
A world of wonder rose before my eyes
And widched into vastness, dimly spread
Meath solemn skies.
,Beyon the page my emulous desire
Djvned the marvels of unwritten scenes
was ambitious, by the school-room fire,
Just in my teens!
Now though the book has faded out of mind,
Though all that dreamy pageant forget,
Its shadow fingers, vast and underlined,
And haunts me yet.
The far-off glory dies in pallid CLEANS
Cannot a yearning sigh the flame restore?
Cannot read again. and dream those dreams
Once mOre-Once more?
Never. The child has passed away, the book
Is closed, and mid my childish memories laid,
With all its magic in it. I would look,
But am afraid.
Men do not name it mid immortal works,
And laggard Fame is slow to find it out,
Perhaps. And yet within my soul there turks
Something of doubt.
How il the visions whose dim figures thickened
Round me- and thronged my yet unpeopled air
How II the fear, whereat my pulses quickened,
Should not be there?
How if the shadow awful in it's gloom
We're dwarfed and shriveled when the daylight
How if 1 smiled above the empty tomb
How if yawned?
How If marveled at myself, and him
honoTed once? Surely the Past might rise
In human shape, and look at me with dim,
ReprOachful eyes,
ecause for his enchantment long ago
had no thanks to give in later days
On dreams that fickered in the freight glow
BE his your praise
Vie gave my fancy wings, and in it's flight
No fault, no failure, could it stoop to note
Perhaps l read the book he meant to write
Not that he wrote
Why should the knowledge that in awe began
Be ended now in laughter barbed with pain?
And why take back the faith that never can
Be given again?
No. he shall keep it Do not draw the curtain,
Let my dim wonder be wonder still
