ENGLISH GRAIN TRADE.

Markets Steady With Decline in Wheat
Caused by the Pacific Aspect of Political
Affairs--The Continent Absorbing the
Surplus of Southern Russia, and England
Looking to America.
LONDON, April 16.-The Mark Lane Er-
press says the present aspect of the wheat
plant does not appear to give rise to any
complaints. The average sown may be
taken at about the average, while somewhat
larger breadth than usual has been put
under spring corn. Supplies of English
wheat have been moderate in London, and
the principal country markets. A weaker
tone of trade, consequent upon the diminish
political apprenhensions, has been noticed
in a decline of about one shilling per quar-
ter, as the millers continue to operate
| sparin4ly, their requirements being light and
the weather not adverse to the prospects of
future crops. The time has now come when
America and Russia will resume their usual
places on the list of countries whence we de-
rive our principal supplies of red wheat.
I Last Monday the arrival list showed the inn
portation of about 81 900 quarters of wheat,
nearly all of which was furnished by those
| countries. But at present the interest cen
! tiers principally in America, seeing that the
requirements of southern Europe will probably
relieve this country of very large proper
ton of the grain from the Black Sea, and
the unusual number of grain laden steamer
from Odessa and southern Russia ports hav
ing been diverted to Marsielles.
This continental demand has been largely
felt of late at Mark Lane, where the exports
last week amounted to upwards of fftee1
thousand quarters. The demand of the pas
week has been strictly of consumptiv
character, and millers have been enabled t
satisfy their wants at shilling per quartz
less money the decline being attributed t
the peaceful aspect of political affairs, wit
small arrivals at ports of call. During th
past week the floating cargo trade for whea
, ruled steady, without quotable change i
values. Maize, with few arrivals, advance

The Virginia City Enterprise says:
About four years ago farmer of Surprise
Valley found in the crop of a wild goose
small quantity of grain, the like which he
| had never seen before. He planted this
grain, and it grew and hourished, and
produced more than hundred fold. The
straw and beardless head are said to re-
semble wheat, while the grain looks like
rye, but is twice as large. The farmer has
now many bushels of this cereal, and has
sent samples of it to be planted in various
places in California, where food for cattle
is not easily obtained at some seasons, as
the stalk of the new grain, when cut be-
fore it is thoroughly ripe makes excellent
hay.
An old sailor, of this city; after, reading
an item which has been going the rounds
of the papers in regard to the new cereal,
the substance of which item is given
above, finds his memory. refreshed. It
brings to his recollection circumstance
he had almost forgotten, and has set him
thinking. He has thought it all out, and
is now firmly of the opinion that there is
an inhabitable land at the north pole.
The old man says he was one of the
crew of the Investigator, Captain Nc
Clure, which sailed from England in 1850,
in company with the Enterprise, Com,
mander Collinson, in search of Sir John
Franklin, and he certainly has in possess
sion one of the Artic medals given by the
English Admiralty to all persons engaged
in these Polar expedi tiOns from 1918 to
| 1855. In September of that year the In
vestigator reached land which Captain
Mcclure named Earrings Land, and three
days after other land, which he named af-
ter.Prince. Albert, where, about the last
of the month, they were frozen in.
While in the last named land, the ex-
plorers observed many wild geese and
other water fowl flying southwark. Some
of the geese stopped at the place where
the ship lay and several were killed by
members of the crew. In the crops of
some of these geese he recOllects to have
seen, and marveled at seeing, a considera-
BILE quantity of a grain such as the new
cereal of Surprise Valley is said to be,
As no such grain is known in the temper
ate zone, and as we have no account of a
grain of the kind being found in any re-
gion of the world, he is of the opinion
that the geese obtained it in a region ly-
ing about the open Polar Sea.
He says no man has yet gone SO far
: North, but he has found wild geese and
other water fowl flying still further tc
the northward. As the geese are undoubt-
edly vending their way to a well-kn own
stopping place far to the North, there
must. be something for them to feed upor
at the point where they stop. AS wild
geese no more live on fish than do tame
ones, there must be, in the country t,
which they go, grass and other vegetation
similar to that found in temperate regions
The wild geese that halt on the Pacific
coast make the grain fields their feeding
: place, it is not likely that in the lant
l about the Pole their nature is so changed
= that they feed upon MOSES or fish.

Lawyers Fees i'm SAN Franclsco.
From the San Francisco Call

From the San Francisco Call.
The heaviest legal incomes in the city
vary from $50, 900 to $50, 900 per annum.
On the other hand, there are plenty of
lawyers struggling to practice who do
notaverage $50 per month the year round.
Some of our leading attorneys require a
fee of 81 900 before having anything to do
with case. Important fees in criminal
cases range from $3.50 to $4,000, and in
stances are common where much larger
sums have been paid. In 1874 VIM. H.
Patterson and the late John H. FELTON, re-
ceived $40, 900 for defeating the local OPP
tion law before the Supreme Court They
only worked on the case about two weeks,
and worked in very leisurely style al
that. The money was placed on deposit
beforehand, and when a favorable deeis-
ion was announced, they had only to 60
to the bank and get it. Each of them re-
ceived $2O, 600, equal to about $500 an hour
or So q min ate, that he was actually oc-
cupied with the case. The emotions of a
man who realizes that his ordinary pro-
fessiOnal services can be made so valuable
as to net him a small fortune in couple
of weeks must be very peculiar indeed.
In the celebrated city slip cases Mr.. Eel
toms fees amount to $3.50, 600. On another
occasion he received $50, 900 for his SER
vices in Spanish land grant contest, land
on still another occasion was paid SIC, 200,
on condition that he would not appear as
attorney in a certain pending case In
1870, S. w. Sanderson resigned the high
position of Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of California in order to become at
tOrney of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. The inducement offered was
in proportion to the sacrifice, and con-
sisted of permanent salary of 81 900 pei
month which was subsequently increased
to s., 900 per month. Some wealthy com.
mercial firms find it to their interest tc

horrors of siberia.

A Russian convict never knows until he
reaches Siberia what sOrt-of life is in
store for him; for in pronouncing SEN
tence of hard labor the Judge makes no
mention of mines. If the convict has
money or influential friends, he had bet
ter use the time between his sentence and
transportation in buying a warrant which
consigns him to the lighter kinds of labor
above ground; otherwise he will inevita-
bly, be sent under earth, and never again
see the sky until he is hauled up to die in
an infirmary. The eonvicts are forward
ed to Siberia in conveys, which start at
the commencement of spring, just after
the SHOWS have melted and left the ground
dry. They perform the whole journey on
| foot, escorted by mounted Cossacks, who
are armed with pistols, lances and long
whips; and behind them jolts long
string of springless tumbrils, to carry
those who fall lame or i'll on the way
The start is always made in the night, and
care is taken that the conveys shall pass
through the towns on their road only af-
| ter dark. Each man is dressed in a gray
kaftan, having brass numbered plate fast
ened to the breast, knee-bOots, and a
sheepskin bonnet. He carries rug strap
ped to his back, mess-tin, and wood
en- spoon at his girdle. The women have
black clOaks, with hoods, and march in
gangs by themselves, with an escort OF
soldiers, like the men, and two or three
female warders, who travel in carts. In
leaving large cities, like st. Petersburg
all the prisoners were chained with theiI
hands behind their backs, but their fet
ters are removed outside the city, excep
in the case of men who have been marked
dangerous. These have to wear leg-chains
of four pounds weight all the way, anG
some of the more desperate ones are yoke(

DrtnEanR Iee.Water.

Baltimore Sun.
There is no more doubt that drinking
ice-water arrests digestion than there is
that refrigerator would arrest perspira-
ton. 1t drives from the stomach its nat
ural heat, suspends the flow of gastric
juice, and shocks and weakens the delicate
organs with which it comes in contact
An abler writer on human disease says:
ssHabitual ice-water drinkers are usually
very fiabby about the region of the stom-
ach. They complain that their food lies
heavy on that patient organ. They taste
their dinner for hours after it is boiled.
They cultivate the use of stimulants to
aid digestion. If they are intelligent they
read upon food, and what the physiolo-
gist has to say about it-how long it
takes cabbage and pork, beef and potatoes
and other meats and esculents to go thro'
the process Of assimilation. They roar
at new bread, hot cakes and fried meat,
imagining these to have been the cause Of
their maladies. But the iee-water goes
down all the same, and finally friends
are called in to take farewell look at enc
whom a mysterious Providence has called
to a cline where, as far as is know, ice
water is not used. The number of i'm
| mortal beings who go hence, to return no
more. on account of an injudioiOus use
| of ice-water, can hardly be estimated.
