Ensiisb Crops Depressed Gsain

EnsIi-h Crops Depressed Grain
Market.
LONDON, June 4th.-The Mark
Lane Express says: By the most
n1pe.h .haf the State ea 81 Sshht SWsheat aRd "a
barley on heavy, low lying land is
other than extremely critical. The
crops are weak, discolored and
rotted in some places from pro-
longed immersion, and, even on
light lands, the harvest prospects
are two or three sacks per acre
worse than month ago. If the
rain speedily ceases and long
spell of dry weather succeeds, some,
but not all, of the damage can be
repaired. Such an unfavorable
change in the prospects of the Eng
lish wheat market would once have
had a marked effect upon prices;
but so independent has this coun-
try become of indigenous grain
that the reverse has actually been
the case, and values have receded
from one to two shillings all over
the kingdom, both for English and
foreign products. The immediate
causes of this depression are the
enormous shipments from America,
with the splendid prospects of an
abundant crop this year and
the feeling that our differences
with Russia will be pacifically ad-
justed. The result is the general
stagnation of trade, which has
moved within narrow limits
throughout the week. Wheat and
maize are only saleable at shil-
ling reduction, and even then only
in retail quantities. Quotations are
now at a peace level. Possibly a
revival of the continental demand
may occur to rally prices somewhat
against the depressing effect of the
heavy prospective supplies from
Amrica and Russia. The sales of
English wheat last week were
35, ,555 quarters at 59s. 3D., against
29,573 quarters at 68s. Cd. last year.
The imports into the Kingdom
were, for the week ending May
25, 1874, 9,504 cwts.; for May 25,
1875, 1854 cwts. wheat, and 9,90s
cwts. flour.

THE EMPEROR WILHELM, for a
q man who started out in life in the
wars of the first Napoleon, has had
a very storm y time of it. In bis
eigsty-fourth year it would seem
that the old man ought to have q
little peace. TO be shot at twice
with buckshot, is a discouragement
to frequent drives in Unter den Lin
den, or any where else, for that
matter. Abo1t year ago, old
Field Marshal Won Wrangel =
"Papa Won Wrangel,n as the Prus-
sian soldiers delighted to call him
delivered the birty day address to
the Emperor Wilhelm. The EN-
peror was at that time eighty-four;
the now dead Marshal was ninety
eight. III the privilege of his four
teen years. seniority, the Marshal
addressed the Emperor as one who
was as yet very little more than u
mere boy. At the rate at which
the first Prussian Emperor of Ger
many is being fired at, of late, he
has small chance Of living to q
green old age of the Won Wrangel
standard. AS Prince William, the
present Emperor was the head of
the absolutist faction of the Prus-
sian monarchy. He assisted to
stamp out the revolution of 1913
with violence which is remem-
bered with hatred by the Republi-
can elements of the present mon
archy of Prussia and Empire of
Germany. No better gauge of the
bitterness which is fomenting in
Germany is afforded than the fact
that there are Republicans who are
ready to fire at a man eighty-four
years old.

trail and Southern Europe. The
heart Of the liberal element Of Eu-
rope to-day beats warmly rsspon-
sive to the idea of parliament of
mankind and confederation of the
world. Wars and rumors of wars
are a tradition of the barbarous
past. Mankind-at least civilized,
sympathetic mankind-are rapidly
outgrowing the necessity of blood
shed. When the respectable En-
peror Wilhelm and the estimable
Victoria die we can see no earthly
reason for putting the dissolute and
Insignificant Albert Edward,
Primo of Wales, or the well-mean-
ing Prussian Crown Prince, into
thrones. The world has outgrown,
or is rapidly outgrowing, King
hood. 1t is the shadow that has
overcast the brightness of the world
for thousands upon thousands of
years. Ten more years of such
as those of the United
States and France, and it will be
the fashion, all over the globe, to
have none but Republican govern
ments. The two splendid things
of later European politics have
been the discontinue ofMacMahon
in his absolutist stand, and the
failure of the Emperor Wilhelm's
to carry through the
German Parliament repressive
measures on the strength of the
first attempt to assassinate the

On Forcing Children.

Above all things, let my imaginary
pupil have preserved freshness and
vigor of youth in his mind as well
us the body. The educationa!
abomination of desolation of the pres
cnt day is the stimulation of young
people to work at high pressure by
incessant competitive examinations.
Some wise man (who probably not an
early riser) has said of early risers in
general that they are conceited all the
forenoon and stupid all the afternoon.
Now whether dis is true of early risers
in the common acceptation of the word
or not, | will not pretend to say; but it
is too often true of the unhappy child
rem who are forced to rise too early in
their classes. They are conceited all
the forenoon of life, and stupid all its
afternoon. The yigor and freshness,
which should have been stored for
existence in practical life, have been
washed out of them by precocious men
tai debauchery-by book gluttony and
lesson bibbing. Their faculties worn
out by the strain upon their callow
brains, and they are demoralized by
worthless childish triumphs before the
real work of life begins. / have no
compassion for the sloth, but youth has
more need for intellectual rest than
age; and the cheerfulness, the teDacity
of purpose, the power of work which
mako many a successful man what he
is must be placed to the credit, not
of his hours of industry, but to that of
his hours of idleness in boyhood.
Even the hardest workers of us all, if
he has to deal with anything above
mere details; will do well, now and
again, to let his brain lie fallow for a
space. The next crop of thought will
certainly be all the fuller in the ear,
and the weeds fewer ,-PrcfssSor H"r-

We saw this week at the San Francisco
Plating Works, G53 and 655 Mission street a
single sheet of metal, of % square feet sur

This is probably the largest piece OF metal
ever plated, and will be exhibited at the Me

the works 1t is ultimately to be used as an
amalgamating plate in placer mining work.
Single sheets OF metal of this size can only
be made at few places, since the necessary
facilities for this class Of work are not com
mon. At these works is a tank which will
hold 1000 gallons, in which these large plates
arc treated.
We also saw &c metal sheets, each with
III square feet of surface which are 10 bc
used for placer mining plates at Bonanza
Bar, oil kelton. Some other plates are being
made to send to quartz mills in Utah and
California.
1t is found that after the copper plates are
silver plated, they answer much better for
amalgamaiing plates for mill work. not oXi-
