The Future of The Grocery Trade.

Although the talk that we hear about the
United States and other countries similarity stu
ated, raising such staples as Tea and Coffee is
vain and foolish, it is nevertheless certain that
the tendency is to vastly increase the production
of the great grocery staples all over the world.
Coffee growing, which a couple of hundred years
since, was restricted to an inconsiderable area IN
Asia, has extended toward the setting sun and is a
staple croD in many western lands, much more
SO than n those where it was first cultivated. Tea
culture, formerly confined, has extended to China
and Japan, while the culture Of Sugar has extended
like Coffee, and one great industry, the Beet Sugar
culture of Europe,'is a matter of the present
century.
But in our day, the tendency is to extend the
cultivation of the great staples at a much more
more rapid rate. Louisiana used to supply the
greater part of the Sugar used in the United States,
and it and the adjacent territory can supply all
the Sugar needed. California and the Pacific
Coast can supply nearly all the Sugar needed from
Beets. With peace, Cuba will grow more and more
Sugar every year. Central America and Mexico
have immense quantities of Sugar lands. Peru is
stepping into the field as IA competitor and has
large Sugar estates. Brazil and tWo-thirds of
South America are Sugar-growing countries, so
are most of the islands of the Pacific ocean. The
PHILIPPINES could supply Sugar to all America !;
Australia will be a great Sugar-producing country /;
so will the islands of the ndo-Chinese Archipelago !;
China is now and will be more SO; so with India /;
Africa has an unlimited field for the culture of the
Cane while the Beet crop of Europe will by and
by become almost large enough to supply the whole
continent.
The same is the case in like degree with coffee.
Araby the Blest could supply the world. There
are immense tracts in Asia and Africa that will
be wholly or partially utilized in the years to come.
All the islands between Australia and Asia are
capable of growing it its culture has only begun in
Central America Mexico promises to produce the
finest coffee in the world, while Brazil could supply
several worlds like ours with it.
And Tea culture will be developed in Northern
India and Japan to fully as great an extent as in
China, and mayhap inlcountries under the same
Isothermal lines and of similar climatic conditions.
What then Does it not seem that much more of
these staples will be raised during the coming years
than can be consumed by the worlds present popula-
ton ? 1t does-it is almost self-evident, and the natu-
raj conclusion is that the prices of all will fall until
they have reached a point at which it would be i'm
possible to raise these staples with profit. But this
will not come in O day, and the breadth of land
under them will for years grow larger and larger
and the prices smaller and smaller.-S. F. Journul

A Mormon Novel.

We have been shown the manuscript of a novel
called 1riumphs of q True Saint, written by a
young Mormon, who is a firm believer IN all the
doctrines and dogmas of the g Latter Day Saints.
1t is quite a curiosity in its way. In the first
chapter the hero, Orson Porter Hyde Smoot, falls
in love with and marries a beautiful girl of % six
teen summers, the daughter of a bishop.
Chapter 10. P. II. Smoot goes counting
his wife's - Gavorite and welI-beloved - cousin.
After a short but sharp siege another heart
yields to his eloquent pleadings, and he marries
his "adored Elizabeth Jane" During the
honeymoon his cup Of joy is filled almost to
overdowing" by his wife No. 1 presenting him a
Chapter IV.-O. 2. FL. S.. sees an "angelic
creature" on Sunday in the Tabernacle, and
falls "madly in love " with her. He dons his
counting raiment and goes for her. Soon she
blushingly yields to the experienced wooer's soft
persuasions-in other words, {" throws up the
sponge" Her mother is a widow and poor;
she takes up her residence with her daughters
husband. Then come trials and tribulations.
But the "True Saint" triumphs. He settles
the hash of his mother-in-law by making her his
wife. There is nothing said about love in con-
nection with this marriage. 1t appears to have
been thrown in merely for the purpose of show
ing the hero's shrewdness in business matters.
Chapter V.-Four children are born to o. P.
II. S. in one week-two boys and two girls
the mother-in-law being delivered of twins.
Things being thus prosperous at home, the hero
goes abroad on a counting tour. He goes dow
to one of the southern settlements of tab, where
he meets with several strange adventures and in
a month returns with two new and blooming
wives-sisters-as the result of his matrimonial
raid. Great rejoicings in the house of o. P. H..
S.. and all his fathers-in-law kill the fatted calf.
Chapter XXX.-The hero = gets wind of
the intended Mountain Meadows massacre. He
goes out intending to save life, and comes back
with several head of wild cattle.
Chapter XLVIII.-O. P. II. S. begins to age
somewhat, but be is still enterprising. He has
nineteen wives and ffty-six children. His moth
er-in-law is principally dead-that is, such of her
as he has not married-and monuments to her
memory adorn many graveyards. We take leave
of the hero when he has reached the very acme
of Mormon bliss-just when he has taken two
young girls as brides and ordered a tombstone
for a meddlesome section of his mother-in-law
The author of the work intends publishing it
in San Francisco as an antidote to The Dance of
de guile IN Virginia Enterprise.

Requisites for a Newspaper Man.

Curtis Guild. in a lecture before the Boston
newspaper men, said -" What then," some may
inquire ARE the requisites for newspaper bust
ness?" An answer to this suggests itself to my
mind in a reply, in somewhat powerful terms, !
will admit, that 1 made to a pale, hollow-chested
young man of twenty-five or three, who once
waited upon me with an inquiry of a similar nature
He had a few thousand dollars, and had Just gra-
duated from college. and wanted to join with some
body to =" start a paper" Start a paper This is

but the keeping of it going at a profit, that calls
for brains. recall now the reply, probably
prompted by a days severe and exhausting work.
when, after listening as patiently as possible to the
young mans crude notions respecting a business
in which he had no experience, he begged would
tell him, in as few words as possible, the oualifca-
tons necessary to prosecute the business success
fully. He was somewhat startled by the asser-
ton that they were as follows A brain as flexible

a temper even as that of q saint, a digestion equal
to that of an ostrich, and the endurance of
adamant.

Mother SYMPTOMS Prophecy.

Many of our readers have doubtless read the
following in their foreign papers, but the fulfill
ment of most of the prophecies (or such they
really are) in our own day gives them more than a
passing interest
Every now and then, for these four years and
more, some one has brought to light the pro
phecy and memory of Mother Shipton. As event
follows event, in mechanical progress, her dog
gerel verses fall in so apt that they must needs
be quoted. One of the predictions thereof
80 Fire and water shall wonders do has come
TO pass time and again.
This Mother Shipton was one that would have
taken high rank as a medium in our day. In
hers,--the fifteenth century,-she was SAID TO
have been begotten, like the wizard, Merlin, OF
the phantasm of Apollo, or some aerial demon
under that guise, and a beautiful orphan 1ork-
shire girl, named Agatha. She had the Welrd'
lonely girlhood that the child of shame is apt to
have, avoided OF prosecuted by those who should
have been her mates. She was christened Ursula
by the abbot Of Beverly. and grew up SO eccen-
trio, and unnaturally shrewed, that by ana Dy
this tradition, in those superstitious days, grew
about her birth. She prophesied as she grew
older and even - persons of quality consul
ted her. She told the great Wolsey that he
should never come to York and, indeed, when
within eight miles of it, he was arrested at
Northumberland, by King Henry's order, ana
brought to Leicester, where he died. Also she
is said to have foretOld the great ire OF Lonuon'
the execution of Charles L., and many notable
events, besides, of the reformation and the relgns
of Elizabeth and James.
At the age of seventy-three, she .toretold her
death and, at the hour predicted. she died.
Her name is a popular tradition In Yorkshire,
even to-day and the tradition is founded, IN
part, upon fact. Her famous prophecy was said
to have been published in her lifetime, again
two hundred years ago for we have seen 1T in a
book of that time, where it was said to be copied
from an older book. Though most of the items
are vague enough, some show a marked colncI-
dence with remarkable events, such as the inven-
ton of steam. railway locomotives, and tunnels,
the telegraph, iron-clads, and the admission OF
Jews into Parliament lin 1850. Without fur
Their preface, these are the elegant lines
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents ill the world with woe;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkle of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do
Now strange, but yet they shall be true.
The world upside down shall be
And gold be found at the root of a tree
Through the hills man shall ride,
And horse nor ass be at his side
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk
In the air shall men be seen
In white, in black, in green
Iron in water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found. and shown
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit a Jew.
The world TO an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one."
