SUMMARY OF THE GENERAL NEWS,
The Grain TRADE Of I I'm nxian,lts.

The Mark Lane Express Weekly Re-
ris,o OF the gYain trade says: The cereal yield
is turning out very deficient throughout the
country. Supplies Of home grown grain are
moderate, both at Mark Lane and in country
markets, and the English wheat is generally
In deteriorated condition The srnaalness
of supplies may be accounted to- some extent
by the fact that the present price OF wheat
offers little Inducements, to farmers to thresh
whereas barley is steadily improving and
there has been more disposition to market
this than wheat. The meagre supplies ofthe
&he latter are an indication Of an expectation
Of higher prices later on. Imports into Lon.
don last week were again unusually heyay re-
turns OF Monday showing the arrival fof over
100000 quarters, large proportion of,which
consisted of Russian wheat, shipments Of
which may be prolonged by the milaness of
the season. Indian wheat is coming IN, freely
Supplies received from those two sources
added to vast shipments from American At
lsntic ports, still better trade, although dur
Ing the past fortnight it has exercised less de-
preston owing to the unsatisfactory yield oi
the heme crop upon 3thres,hinsg.g, There has
been fair consnmptive demand, for most
cases of wheat otf standard. Values remain
stationary. Higher rates are demanded for
Maize which have checked inquiry, but this
article is still firm, while six pence to q shii-
Ing per quarter mere has been paiGfor grind

Stanley Mathews goes back on the
Presidents policy. He urges upon
Hayes that he owes too much to the
Republican party tc ruin it. The
President will probably stand by his
policy Notwithstanding Mathews OBJ
lection. He has gone too far TO back
out. TIC 60 back would be disastrous.
The policy SO far as it has gone must
work out to its Legitimate conclusion.
He may change its tone somewhat, or
shape its course to suit the changes
of public sentiment, but paci6cation
and harmony, even at partial sacrl-
fee of what may seem to be sound
theory, must continue to be the lead
ing feature of Hayes policy. The
people want peace; not peace at any
price exactly, but any ordinary price.
In this way the political forces of the
country will gather vitality, eliminate
their own evil tendencies and settle
upon issues of real life. The admin
istration of the country should not be
too hasty. Deliberation and GOODNESS
are the most important elements Of
good judgment, and they are also
true adjuncts of sound political
sagacity.

Gen. Howard i'm the Field.

A gentleman who was with General
Howard through the entire campaign
against Joseph, describes him as a
diamond in the rough, during the latter
part of the rough and terrible chase.
He was "unshaven and unshorn," and
from care and want of rest looked ho1-
low-eyed and tired His pantaloons,
which were of regulation private brand,
had succumbed long before, to the wear
and tear of the long march, and their
waning usefulness had been reinforced
with an eighteen inch patch on each
knee, and liberal facing on their rear
guard. His military coat had long
since ceased to be thing of beauty,
and in reference to solid service was
but shadow of its former self" He
wore heavy boots and his head was
crowned with a cap which looked-well,
it had a sort of "hope deferred" look,
in fact, his entire gear pleaded mutely
to be transferred to the retired list
But notwithstanding these adverse cir
cumstances, the fire of the chieftain's
eve was not dimmed, his valor and
patriotism were mistaken, and the
might of his strong arm unimpaired

Territory VS.. Andrew Laws.

The Petit Jury, in the case of the
Territory against Stephen Saobert and
Andrew Laws, after being out all

for Stephen Shobert, but found Mr.
Laws guilty of assault with intent to
murder, as charged in the indictment.
The members of the jury are entitled
to great credit for the firm and fear
less way in which they discharged
their duty in this case.
: Mr.. Laws has always borne a good
character. His family is a very re-
spectacle one, and his relatives in this
county are all law abiding people.
The deepest sympathy is felt for Mr..
Laws and his family in this bereave-
ment. II must be q terrible blow to

In the case Of Burlingame VS.. Whip
pie, or in other words, the test case
of the Short heirs against the holders
of titles from the Short estate, came
up for argument on preliminary mo-
ton last Saturday morning. Gov.
Gibbs, Judge Denison and Mr.. Becbe
appeared as counsel for the plaintiff,
and Judge Bronaugh for the defend
ant. Mr.. Bronaugh asked for further
time. The counsel on the opposite
side objected, but finally consented
to allow the case to be continued I'M
I'll the March term of court. The re-
suit so far at this term has caused a
slight feeling of uneasiness on the
west side of Main street. Residents
there should not become unnecessarily
alarmed, for they have the equities
with them in this matter and will, it
is hoped, be successful In the end.

Mormon DisintegratiOn.

Rev. II. X. Hines, corresponding to
the La Grande Gazette speaks of CON-
pany of Mormons he lately fell in with
on the overland railroad. He says:
The car we are in is occupied mostly
by a company of Mormons, some Of
whom are on mission" to the Allan
tic States and Canada, and one or two
are bound to Sweden and Norway.
They spent the evening in singing
Mormon hymns Of execrable poetry
which seemed to have been made up
with the words Utah." desert"
mormon" "Prophet," "Quorum," &c,
and their tunes were mostly miserable
alterations of such pieces as "Red,
White and Blue" "Marching through
Georgia" and though they made some
noise there was little music. Like all
gatherings of Mormons we have ever
seen there was "a stamp Of vulgarity on
all they did or said, and an almost entire
absence of that nameless something
that culture and society always gives.
This seems to be in them, however.
high enthusiasm, and they act and talk
like men that are bound to take the
world. Personally, we do not look to
that early disintegration of Mormon
ism that some predict. 1t is fierce
fanaticism, with much of the force of .
real conviction inspiring its votaries,
and such things are not soon nor easily
overcome.

Some men scarcely ever assign the

Some men scarcely ever assign the
true reason for their actions. Such
men in medicine are quacks; in law,
pettifoggers; and in general they are
full of deceit, and are hypocrites.
The man who always acts from. sell
fish motive is kept pretty much all
the time framing reasons for his con-
duct-laboring in the vain hope that
others may be led to believe him to be
a better man than he really is. There
is nothing like possessing good in
buttons. Being full Of generosity
and love to men. Inherent business
of soul, so that it shall be natural to
speak the truth by impulse, deal gen
erously in thought and deed at the
instant one is moved to any action,
and to be void Of all duplicity in mo-
tive. Such an one carries with him
a passport to the respect and even
love of his fellows. And Their this
goes long ways towards creating a
conscience void of offense and becomes
a source of personal qualification as
well as q public benefit. Selfshness
is the great handspring Of individual
ity in the world, but in its superlative
degree it becomes a dire curse upon
all who come within the radius of its
influence: What beautiful inspira-
ton il the poets words:
''Rirg out the narrowing lust of gold,
''Ring in the valiant man and Free
