Introduction Of Wheat into America.

Prior to the discovery of this continent
by Columbus, there was no cereal in
America approaching in nature the wheat
plant. It was not until 1880 that wheat
found its way into Mexico, and then only
by chance. A slave Of Cortez found a
few grains of wheat in parcel of rice
and showed them to his master, who or
dered them to be planted. Tic result
showed that wheat would thrive we'll on
Mexican soil, aud to-day one Of the
finest wheat valleys in the world is near
the Mexican capital. .aiFrom Mexico the
cereal found its way to Peru. Maria
D'Escobar, wife of Diego de Chauvres,
carried few grains to LENA, which were
planted, the entire product being used
for seed for several successful crops. /. At
Quito, in Ecuador, monk of the Order
of st. Francis, by the name of Fray Iodosi
Rixi, introduced the new cereal, and it is
said that the jar which contained the
seeds planted is still preserved by the
monks of Quito. Wheat was introduced
into the present limits Of the United
States contemporaneously with the settle
ment of the country by the English and
the Dutch.
Some old fraud writes that ''in garden
ing every portion Of the body IS exercised,
and the mind refreshed" The writer's
experience in gardening has evidently
been confined to sitting in the shade and
bossing a hired man. IF he were to dig
garden until his body became nearly the
shape of croquet wicket, and it almost
snapped his back bone in half to assume
an upright position, he would quickly
acknowledge that there is such thing
as exercising the body too much; and
when his old man wasn't looking, he
would jump over the back tence, go down
town, and refresh his mind by engaging
in game of base ball and perchance
get four fingers knocked out Of joint, his
nose mashed and a new bump erected on
his head E9cA0nge.

THE COUNTRY has 70 pay for all in
debtedness for waste, no matter where
the money is expended. If the United
States expends fifty millions in building
a railroad to the Pacific the 10000 peO-
pie in the Cong essional District Of Del
aware are required to pay just as much
Of that money as the people of any other
Congressional District. there is no get
ting away from it; and the proportion Of
our cost is very easily ascertained by d.
viding the fifty million by the number Of
members in the lower House, if there
were three hundred then each district
would be run into debt one hundred and
sixly-six thousand six hundred and sixty
six dollars. And this is true of any
other expenditure. If the government
wastes seventy thousand dollars in Della
ware, our people have got to pay it al
and they will not be allowed TO shirl
out of 1t.

pie in Dover about rs well - they are
served in other parts Of our State. This
building is enough OF itself to damn the
policy of extravaganza which the Re-
pablican party has followed tor ten years.
1t is such acts as this that is keeping our
farmers noses to the grindstone. For
the same money ten good houses for

THE World to-day says. sit Is in no
partisan spirit that we call attention to
these extracts, for It certainly Is not the
fault Of the Democratic members OF
Congress that the only speeches yet
made In the extra session which deserve
attention by their temper and their quail
ty have been made on the Democratic
side of the House. One exception, iEdeed,
must be made to this statement, and we
make IL ourselves gladly. in reprinting as
we do to-day the very manly and earnest
remarks of Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
upon the healing power of Time in the
politics of a great country. These re-
marks will find an echo far beyond tho
lines of party In the hearts of sensible
and patriotic men of all opinions. 1t Is
precisely because Mr.. Robson and Mr..
Garfield and Mr.. Frye, and the represen-
tatives generally of what 1t is more pro-
per now to call the Grant party than the
Republican party insanely believe and
