A Startling Fact.

Some scientific tests which have been
in progress for several months by one Of
the most distinguished professors of
agricultural chemistry in the country
have developed rather a startling fact
that the sprouting qualities of last years
crop of No.2 spring wheat have been
seriously damaged, owing to the Excess
sive heat which prevailed just before
the harvest of last year in various parts
of the West, notably Minnesota, and in
consequence of which large quantity
of the wheat product is utterly ruined
by the blight. This fact is of incalculable
Importance to farmers out West. No. 2
spring is the grade which is generally
used for sowing purposes, and it is feared
unless the farmers are promptly in
formed of this timely discovery as to the
destruction of last years products, and
make ample allowance for it in their ar
rangements for sowing this spring-that
the next crop will not equal so per cent.
of the usual product. 1t is stated that
damage to the sprouting capacity of the
kernel is not such as to affect it's value
for milling purposes. Outwardly, to all
appearance, the kernel is plump and I'M
impaired. But it is the structural in
terror growth which is affected. The
discovery of these facts is timely indeed,
and if properly promulgated may avert
pretty disastrous consequences, such as
would surely follow on general use of
damaged wheat for sowing. At the same
time, the fact is one of great Importance
to all who are interested in the course
of prices for wheat. - Ne,O York

Coming Of the Hostiles.

Chicago, Jan. 29.- Gen. Sheridan
has communication from Fort Bel
knap, Montana territory, from Indian
agent Lincoln, dated Jan. 4th, con-
firming the news that Sitting Bull had
crossed the border. m
He says that he is reliably informed
that there are four hundred and fifty
lodges of Piegans in the Bear Paw
mountains, about forty miles southwest
of that post, and that probably as
many more British Blackfeet, Bloods
and Piegans are on their way to the
Bear Paw mountains, and were in
close proximity at last accounts. The
Crees, British Indians, are also in the
mountains. The British Assinaboines
have camped with the American As
sinaboines. Sitting Bull is on French
mems creek, this side of the line, with
his whole camp. The ostensible reason
for this influx is the pursuit of buffalo,
which they justly claim are not to be
found north of the Missouri river.
They claim to be friendly, but agent
Lincoln regards their presence in such
numbers matter Of grave import. He
is sure of the friendliness of the Gros
Ventres, but not of the Assinaboines,
who are influenced for bad by their
British namesakes.

peared to the cabinet such as might be
voted without damage to the security
or good administration of the country.

to me and therefore tender my resig-
nation. In quitting power have the
consolation of thinking that during

Migration of colored Folks.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Louisiana
letters represent very earnest feeling
among leading blacks favoring migra-
tion to other partsof the country, where
they can vote. Meetings have been
held, and general mass meeting is
proposed. A letter signed by promi-
nent colored citizens of Louisiana says
they find the social prejudice of the
community paramount to federal sta
tutes, and the more vigorously the
colored citizen demonstrates by ballot,
the greater the -disfavor in which he
stands. Their transfer to any section
of the union in which are zealously
maintained civil and political rights Of
all, presents an advantage to them
selves, to the section whose voting
force they would augment, and to the
government, and no disadvantage but
to the south. aa. pYFfnE g

Mr., Morgan said the senator from
Vermont was unable to get his resolu-

senators on the democratic side. No
senator had been sworn here who did
not understand that his oath of office

vote. motion or speech indicated that
he did not intend to support the amend
ments as a part Of the constitution of
his country. The senator wanted the
democratic senators now to pledge
themselves by the resolution to keep
their oath to support the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments.
Before Mr.. Morgan concluded, the
senate went into executive session.

MAO MAHoN-GREYY.

The great French republic yesterday
gave to the world the most substantial
evidence of its solidity. On this side of
the Atlantic we fail to appreciate the
magnitude of a change Of government
such as was effected in France. The
sudden death of President Hayes and
Vice President Wheeler, and the elec-
tion to the presidency of Samuel j.
Tilden by the house, would not be SO
great a change as was so quietly and
easily brought about at Versailles. In
this grand movement Marshal Mac
Mahon has not only proved how un-
founded were the rumors of a coup
d'etat but he has proved himself states
man and gentleman. 1t was In his
individual power to inaugurate a
bloody civil war, for the army was with
him, and plea from him that he was
pressed because of friendship for their
interests, would have rallied to his stan
dard force that might have enabled
him to repeat the coup d'etdt of President
Louis Napoleon.
But though MacMahon loved power
he resigned it with dignity and with
held any action tending to a political
commotion. Not only that, but with
most commendable spirit, he acknowl-
edged his common citizenship, and was
the first distinguished parsonage to pay
MS respects to the new president. IT
requires much philosophy to enable a
man under MacMahon's circumstances
TO congratulate and well-wish success
sor. Yet the marshal rose grandly
above all petty malice, and commands
