increase in Growth of Iadia wheat.

India wheat in the European markets
promises to come more and more In COMPETE
ton with the trade of the United States Tue
rapid increase in the exports is attracting Just
now special attention. In 1873 these were
trifing or next to nothing, but after the re-
moval Of the export duty they rose rapidly,
until in the first ten months of I877-7S they
reached eleven million and six hundred thou
sand bushels. This is all the more note
worthy on account of the extensive famines,
which, though not in the wheat growing dis
trict. attracted large supplies, and so reduced
the quantity available for expectation. India
has very large district available for wheat
as yet very imperfectIy utilized, mainly for
want of better communications. In all prob
ability this Will soon beremedied, labor being
extremely cheap and the extension of rail-
roads SO general that eventually the country
will be able to send large surplus to Europe.

General Hooker-Never heard of it.
The Western UrOns.

New York Bulletin: The crop news from
the west shows no Improvement On the
contrary, it becomes daily more unfavorable.
The weather of last week appears to have
been calculated to make worse the bad effects
Of previous storms and heat, and the area of
complaint Is extending. So far as respects
Minnesota, there is no apparent reason for
changing our former impression, that the in
jury Is confined mainly to the southeastern
counties and that the increase of acreage will
go far toward compromising for the loss in
that section of the State. But we now hear
serious complaints from Iowa and Wisconsin.
and even from Nebraska; and, after care
ful comparison of the numerous dispatches
in the western papers from the leading coun-
ties III those States, we find too much reason
to fear that there is substantial ground for
the complaints. Probably the earlier reports
exaggerated the amount of injury then sus-
tanned; but subsequently the weather has
been such as to bring up the facts to the pre-
vious eXtravagant representations of specu-
lators. This much, however, must be kept
in mind, that the first reports of farmers un-
der such circumstances are not likely to I'M
er-estimate the unfavorable conditions; and
there Is reason to hope that, at a later period,
the crop of spring wheat will not be found to
fall below that of last year, although the
quality may grade lower.

THE RECENT ELECTIONS
In Tennessee and North Carolina
Plainly show that Independent
isms and Radicalism are Prac-
ticaIIy One.

Atlanta Constitution: The elections in the
two States plainly show when carefully
studied, district by district, that independent
ism and Radicalism are practically one-that
the Democratic party lis regarded by each alike
will strike hands with the members of the
other Wherever and whenever it will bring
about the defeat of a Democratic nominee
While these elections point out the dangers
that an alliance in 1880, of Radicals and In
dependents, would involve, yet they make
plain the fact that the Democracy are not,
and will not, be at the mercy of any such al
lance, if they but do their whole duty If
those who prefer the organization that has
rescued the south, and that will surely rescue
the entire country from sectonalism and cor
ruphon-if they will act with energy and
pluck, there need be no fear of any serious
weakening of the party. AS we approach
$780, we believe the Democrats, the hungry
''outs" included, will naturally be drawn
closer together. All will see that all the
southern States are necessary to insure the
election of a Democratic President. The loss
of single one of these States might result In
the election of Grant. All will see this if
they do not now, and we will be much mis-
taken if the tasks Of the Independent busy
bodies are not greatly increased as the hour
of final victory draws near. The man who
does aught to weaken the only organization
and will assuredly receive all the punish
ment that the organization can inflict And
no one will have AN equitable right to protest
against such a course Of natural justice, or
the power to give such a protest any weight
whatever

Death by the CareIessness of a Dry
Goods Druggist.

independence, Missouri, special, sixth, to
the st. Louis Globe Democrat: Carlessness
on the part of Smith H. Todd, druggist at
Oak Grove, this county, cost the two little
children of Albert Schilhorn, aged two and
five years, their lives last Saturday evening.
The mother Of the children called at Todd S
drug store for some santonine and calomel to
give to the children. Todd prepared the
powder, and the mother took the supposed
vermifuge home and administered it, but to
her horror, in a few minutes the children
were taken with violent commissions and died
in half an hour from the time the powders
were given. Physicians were summoned,
who pronounced 1t q case of poison. The
father brought the remainder of the drug
which had not been administered to the chill
dren to this city, and placed it in the hands
OF Mr., J. II. Morrison, an eminent chemist,
who made a thorough analysis, and discov-
cred that the supposed santonine was nothing
less than pure strychnine. The calomel was
all right. Mr.. Schilhorn swore out war
rant for the arrest of Todd this afternoon.
Todd is an ex-dry goods clerk, who has never
had any education or experience in the drug
business until few days ago, when he opened
a drug store In the aforesaid village. The
public feeling is greatly against Todd.

a Dog Story.

A curious story comes from Pavia, an Ital-
ian city, near the confluence of the Taclno
aud Pc rivers. A worthy fisherman owned a
dog which he wished to get rid of and could
not give away. So he resolved to drown him.
He embarked in skiff, with the dog, having
rope around the animals neck and large
stone attached to the rope. When in the
middle of the stream the fisherman managed
to pitch the poor dog out of the boat and
hurl the stone after him. But, as fortune
would have it, the rope broke, the stone sank,
and the dog made for the boat He strove
for his life. The fisherman, determined to be
rid Of a pest, Struggled with the dog to pre-
vent his entering the boat. In the struggle
he fell overheard. overturning the boat. The
dog saved his life by swimming to shore with
the unhappy master cling to his shaggy hide

Kearney Doing a GOOD Work

Louisville Commercial: Mr.. Dennis Kear-
ney is doing public service, and so were the
men who went before the congressional COM
mittee at New York and gave their ideas
about the condition and needs of working
men. There is nothing ike pubic discussion
and interchange of views to get at the truth
1t will, perhaps, ccme to the CONSEQUENCES of
Kearney and his disciples that good many
capitalists and corporations have been having
a hard time as well as the workingmen. The
land is sprinkled with bankrupts who were
apparently wealthy capitalists few years
ago, and iusolvent corporations are almost as
numerous. The worklngmen have not been
helped by the bankruptcy and insolvency Of
these enemies of theirs, but have rather been
injured. The men and the corporations who
are prosperous and sound now are those who
adhered to the safe old roads of economy and
prudence, and workingmen can prosper only
by doing the same.

Brownsville Democrat: The pretense of
that arch-hypocrite, the Memphis ApalancHe,
to favor the greenback theory, while support
ing and holding office under Hayes, who
gained prominence by opposing the greenback
theory in Ohio, and who would now veto any
bill for the increase of the greenback circula-
ton, may gull and deceive the poor office
hungry Nationals of Memphis, but Is too
shallow and miserable subterfuge to deceive
a county asylum idiot. The AUalancJ,e OPP
posed greenbacks and abused Bill Allen in
1875, and favored greeubacks and Peter
Cooper in 1876. 1t now supports Hayes, the
great anti-greenback leader Of Ohio, as Presi-
dent, in 1875 who would veto any greenback
measure, and yet pretends to favor the Green
back party. The AraLanche is a fraud.
