EeNti of the Great Lead Pencil Man,

New YORK, March 3.-Eberhard Faber
founder aud head of the house of A. W..
Faber, in this country, died at his residence
in New York, on Sunday, aged 81. He was
the first to establish the lead pencil house of
4. w. Faber here, and from this city he has,
within tho last twenty years, spread the
business of the firm all over the
United States. He was born near Nurem.
berg. Bavaria, Dec 6. 1892, the youngest son
of George Leonard Faber, son of A. w.
Faber, and grandson Of Casper Faber, who
first began the manufacture of Faber's pen
ellis in 1861. In 1849 Mr.. Faber came to
New York and opened branch
house of A. w. Faber. The
business was at first conducted simply as an
agency to the main house in Germany, the
pencils being imported at great expense
from the parent establishment. Mr.. Faber
conceived the idea of manufacturing his own
goods in this country. In 1861 he built the
first lead-pencil mandatory in America.
Laborsaving machinery was introduced to
reduce the difference between. the price of
labor in Europe and America. In this fac
tory were made all grades of pencils upon
which an excessive duty was charged. Mr.
Faber, as years passed, enlarged his plans
and manufactured penho!ders, rubber goods
and almost everything connected with the
stationery trade. At the time of his death
the entire product of rubber factory in
New Jersey was absorbed by him in the
manufacture of rubber materials.

willing worker, good mechanic, aud abund-

the stage business, and to eventually secure
speaking part whereby he might advance in
the profession. His solicitations were 30 per-
slstent and his manner SO persuasive, that per-
mission was granted him to act as an assistant
in the carpentering department. He proved to
be all he had claimed, was steady and useful,
and so skillful that when the master carpenter
was obliged by sickness to retire, the new
conner was promoted to the. vacant place. He
was a universal favorite with the company, at

ABOUT WHEAT.

What Has Become Of the Immense Sup
plies from, the Crop of 1S7S-1O9, 900, 900
Bushels EDp0rted In tho Last Eight
M0nths-The Great Bulk Of Witch Has
Gone to France and the C0ntjnest-We
Can Begin, to Sec the End of the Surplus
from tho Crop Of 1878.
To the Editor Of the Chicago Tribune.
The total exports of wheat and wheat
flour from all ports of the United States in
the year to June 80, 1877, as reported by the
United States bureau of statistics, were
equal to 57,O43,936 bushels of wheat, and
for the year to June 80, 1873, they are gwen
by the same authority as equal to 80, 139, 236
bushels of wheat.
1t IS we'll known that the stock of wheat
in the United States on July 1, 1878, was un-
usually low, and it is therefore fair to pre-
sumo that the export of, say, 100000
bushels up to that time was the utmost we
could spare-ab0ve our own requirements
for consumption and seed-ont of the crop
of 1877.
THE SURPLUS FOR 1878-'79.
Now without entering into the discussion
as to what was the total Of either of the last
two crops-we may assume that the crop of
1873 was, say, 6O,0OO,OoO bushels greater
than that of 1877. But as it is we'll known
that it requires more of the spring wheat of
1878 to make barrel of flour than it did of
the spring wheat of 1877, and as it is also
tolerably certain that our requirements for
consumption and seed will be a little larger
in 1879 than they were in 1878, the
increase of 100000 bushels in. the last
crop will not add more than, say, 81, O0O, 900
bushels to our surplus available for foreign
export. This increase, added to the $4,000
600 exported in the previous year, would in
dictate our total surplus available for foreign
export in the year to June 80, 1879, at 147,-
100000 bushels. Let me see how much of
this has already gone.
THE EXPORTS SINCE JULY 1, 1873.
The total exports of wheat and -four (the
latter at five bushels to the barely from all
United States ports from July 1, 1873, to
Jan. 1, 1879, were just about 93,5Oo, 900
bushels, as follows:

COL. PERCY .WYNDHAM.

Why Mr. Stanton Removed him from, his
| COnamand-An Old Mystery NO,v FMlzy
| Cleared Up.
/ WASHINGTON, March 1.-The recent sad
fate of Col. Wyndham, better known as Sir
Percy Wyndham, recalls an episode in his
strange career that to many perhaps has re-
manned mystery. It will be remembered
that he served for while in the Union army
| as colonel of New Jersey cavalry regiment,
and acting brigadier of a cavalry brigade, to
which position he had been advanced for his
consummate knowledge of cavalry man
| oeuvres at the earnest solicitation of officers
in high rank. In 1868 Wyndham was
with the army in Virginia, in command Of
| about $500 men. He was held in high es-
TEEN, both for his bravery and his military
skill; was general favorite with his superb
ors, and expected soon to be advanced to the
rank of brigadier- general. Suddenly, to the
surprise of everybody, he was ordered to
Washington, and there granted an indefinite
leave of absence by Secretary Stanton. No
reasons were given for this. He remained
In Washington for some days. suffering from
the most terrible chagrin, which he endeav-
ored to alleviate by plunging into dissipa-
ton. At last he determined to visit his COM
mand, and was received cordially by his
brother officers; but after he had been in
camp two days, an order came from the Sec
rotary of war to the commanding general
that Wyndham should at once leave the
Union lines. If he did not do so, he was to
be put under close arrest and sent to Wash
ington Immediately. Wyndham resigned on
his return to Washington.
Some time before his death by drowning
on the lakes few years ago, Mr.. Stanton's
private secretary informed an employee of
the war department., under promise of SOL
emn secrecy during his life time, of the
cause of Wyndham's removal. Mr.. Stanton
had private information, given in such a
manner as to insure the concealment of the
names of the informers, that Wyndham had
entered into negotiation with the confed-
crate government to surrender his command
for the sum of 100000. Mr.. Stanton could
not getting his information as he did, place
Col. Wyndham under arrest, and try him
for this highest crime of which soldier can
be guilty, so the only road open was to re-
move him from command. The private SEQ
rotary said he was in doubt as to whether or
not Judge Advocate General Holt was aware
of the matter, but believed Mr.. Stanton act
ed under his advice. The gentleman to
whom this story was told it in government
employ and in position of high trust.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
MADISON, March 5.-Both houses of the Wis
consin legislature adjourned this morning at
IL o'clock N. Only three Senators, Andrews,
Burrows and Houghton, were present. In the
absence of Lieutenant-G Governor Bingham, SEN
ator Burrows in few appropriate words de-
clared the Senate adjourned sine die.
In the Assembly, it having been discovered
that an error was made in the bills numbered
as 252 and 407 Assembly, they were recalled
from the Governor and the necessary correc-
tions made in both houses under suspension of
rules. The Governor having notified the legis-
lature that he had no further business, at II A.
NJ. the hour fixed for final adjournment, Speak
er Kelly adjourned the Assembly sine die in
few feeling and appropriate remarks, and the
session of 1879 was over.
The session has lasted ffty-seven days. The
business transacted during the session, con-
sidering that ten days We're almost wholly oc-
cupied in the contest over the United States
Senatorship, has averaged well in amount. In
the Senate there were introduced 1877 bills, of
which IS became law. Forty-one resolutions
were offered and thirty-seven of them adopted.
OF the twenty-one joint resolutions originating
in the House, eighteen were adopted. Two
hundred and thirty-one partitions and remon-
strances were offered, but no memorials to
Congress.
In the Assembly four hundred and thirteen
bills were introduced siht one hundred and
sixty-one of them became laws. Sixty-four
resolutions were offered and forty of them
adopted; twenty eight Joint resolutions origi-
mated in this house and twenty-three of them
were adopted. Of the seven memorials to Con-
gress introduced, four were passed. Two hun
dred and sixty-three petitions and remon-
strances were offered in the Assembly. Thus
the whole number of acts passed by the legisla-
what below the common estimate of the result.
and much below the average number, as will be
seen upon reference 70 the fact that at the reg
ular session Of 1878 there were passed 342 acts !;

THE WOES OF REAVIS.

A0cHen0tsO7aS ~ Chac0gO at Springfield.
list. Louis Globe Democrat
Mr.. L. q: Reavis, the st. Louis capital-mover,
went to Springfield ILL.,, last Thursday night, t.
enllghten the Suckers upon his favorite theme.
He was received with distinguished considera-
ton by the State officials and many leading
lobbyists. The use of one of the legislative
halls was rendered him by formal vote of the
house, and he made elaborate preparations by
way of toilet decorations and intended to put
his best foot foremost to do honor to the Flu
ture Great. just as he had finished his rehear-
sal before the mirror an old friend, Mr.. Shaw,
Informed him that the hall had been previous
" engaged for a temperance meeting of women.
MIR. Reavis believed that this was trick of
Chicago to prevent the removal of the capital
records of the house, by which the hall was
voted to the women. He hadn't gone all the
way to Springfield to lecture about st. Louis
and then to be silenced by Chicago getting up
corner on halls. The jealousy of Chicago was
groundless; he didn't intend to pitch into that
village, but would say more in her favor than
any man she had within her boundaries. He
would show that Chicago would be greatly ben
cited 10y making st. Louis the national capital;
Chicago would be to st. Louis what George
town is to Washington; what Versailles is to
Paris, or what Naples is to Rome.
The record of the vote was found, however,
and the women held the age. and were entitled
to the use of the hall. Reavis was disgusted.
He refused for while to be Modified, and
when Mr.. Savage suggested that he lecture the
next night he Indignantly refused, and exclaim-
ed: 20, Jerusalem! thou that stoneth the
prophet shall not share the profits of the cap
ital moving After much persuasion, and the
application Of preparation of soothing syrup,
Mr.. Reavis at length consented to lecture on
Tuesday night, provided the hall was rendered
by unanimous vote. He returned to st. Louis
on the first train, and last night received tele-
gram from Mr.. Savage, informing him that the
hall had Been devoted to his use, and begging
him 80 keep his promise. After the delivery Of
this lecture tits believed that the opposition to
the removal of the capital will cease, even in
Chicago

Total from July l to

Total from July l to
Dedu,ting the los, 77s, 547 from the I pre-.
sumed surplus of 147, OOO, 900 bushels availa-
it would leave 81, 1926, 453 available for export
yet, before another crop is harvested. But
the presumption of SO large surplus for
foreign export yet is based upon two propo-
sitions: ~ That the increase in the crop of
1878 was as large as 6O,OOOOOO bu shells over
that of 1877; ~ that
THE VISIBLE SUPPLY SHALL Be REDUCED
by gully l., 1879, to as low point as it was
on July 1, 1878, viz, 4,943,632 bushels. If
the export should continue at the present
rate for three months, our immense surplus
from the crop of 1873 would be practically
gone, aad the stock of wheat in the United
States would be reduced to about its usual
average at the end of the crop year. 1t seems
probable that the low price will induce the
holding back of considerable wheat in the
country, and that after the spring planting
begins the receipts of wheat from the coun
try will be lighter than usual. This seems
the more likely to be the case when the visi-
BILE supply begins to diminish, and it begins
to be apparent that the surplus from the crop
of 1873 is almost gone. Hitherto, neither
dealers nor spectators have been able to
''see the end" of the supply, but when they
do it is not improbable that it will result in
greater frmness on the part of the holders.
Much depends on the character of the
weather during the next six weeks. II the
spring should be late or wet, farmers would
be less willing to part with whatever they
may have on hand; and unless the prospect
for the next crop should be fair for yield
equal to last year, the surplus would proba-
bly, not be sold out as clean as it was in July,
1873.
TIE FOREIGN DEMAND.
just at present the prospect is that the for
elgn demand, which has already exceeded
the most sanguine expectations, will con-
tinue.
The latest advices from France Ito abou
the 10th ult.) say that the deficiency in the
French crop was greater than had been esti-
mated. and that France will continue to be
an importer of foreign wheat. The quality
of the French wheat is also represented as
so poor that it requires 20 per cent. more
wheat of the crop of 1873 to make the same
weight of flour than it did of the wheat of
1877. Thus the deficiency in the French
crop was in reality greater than it appeared
in bushels.
In view of the
GREAT APPARENT SUPPLY
OF wheat IN America, Great Britain has not
been. in any hurry to buy, and from Sept. 1,
1878, to Jan l, 1879, her total net imports of
wheat lover exports) were nearly 1850, 900
bushes less than for the same period of
1877. The only countries of Europe that
nave any surplus of wheat for export are
Russia, Hungary and Roumania; ali the rest
mad deficient crops in 1878, and have been
steady importers up to the present time.
Inc great bulk of the immense quantity of
wheat exported from the United States in
the last eight months has gone to supply de-
nclencles IN markets which had hitherto
taken little if any American wheat.
