Rand of Robbers.

A special to the Galveston NeacS from
Fort Griffin says that on the Goth ult. nine
disguised, well armed men took possession
of Hamburg's store, Tepee Creak, near
Staked Plain, covering the clerk, and
others with pistols until they robbed the
store OF all the money, arms and ammuni-
ton. They then attacked the camp of a
party en- route to Leadville, taking them
by surprise, shooting Mr. Anderson, who
attempted resistance. They took about
$500 and all the live stock of The party.
After leaving the vicinity they went to
Blance Cannon, robbed the store of Conrad
& Roth of 81 800 worth of provisions, arms,
etc. They are believed to be the notorious

Foreign Wheat Market.

NEW YORK, April S.-The Public to-day
concludes its estimate of the foreign wheat
market: 1t says more than "a, 900 600 bus
will be required by Europe from Russia and
the United States, of which Russia will not
furnish more than 100000, unless it has
another extraordinarily large crop in 1878,
following that of 1877. This would leave
about 100000 bus to be drawn from this
country. Ii these estimates are correct the

HAY EEYER.

At tho present time there are probably
nearly so 900 people suffering from what
is called hay fever.
When this affection was first recognized
ii was supposed that it depended upon
tho irritation produced by the pollen of
certain flowers and grasses which floated

Further observation revealed the fact
that I'M affection characterized by symp-
toms essentially the same as those seen
In connection with hay asthma, hay fever,
juno cold, rose cold, autumnal catarrh
etc. occurred in seasons of the year In
which none OF the supposed exciting
causes of the hay fever could operate,
and for some time the reasoning was that
it must be some other disease than that
produced by the pollen of plants. 1t was
also observed that certain persons were
peculiarly affected when brought IN con.
tact with certain animals, such as the cat,
and by the vapor from certain animal
substances, such as warm milk. These
Excavations, an he like character,
have from time to time led to modifica-
tions OF former opinions regarding the
nature of hay fever, and, at last, have
given rise to theory which has been
promulgated as one capable of explaining
all the phenomena of the disease when
ever and wherever occurring. The rem
edies tc be employed are those which are |
not painful-not even disagreeable. OF |
course, removal from the exciting cause |
is the primary factor in obtaining prompt /
relief; but, when this cannot be effected,
the symptoms can be greatly relieved,
and many cases cured, by such remedies
as arsenic, nux vomica, carbolic acid,
tonics and sedatlves, elec-
tricity. etc, and their combinations.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Tho prospects of trade are. with one
voice, declared to be better to-day than
they have been at any time in six wears.
Nearly every branch of trade is looking
up. The manufacturing business has
taken fresh start during the year, and
industries that have long been depressed
are greatlyrevived. Blast furnaces, roll
ing-mills, cotton and WOODEN factories,
and many other kinds of manufacturing
business are once more running. and in
many cases running on full time. Profits
are not large as yet, but expenses are
paid aud laborers employed, ana that is
something.
The years harvest Is n large one; the
acreage OF wheat and corn this gear is
larger than ever before. Large as the
crop Is, the demand from Europe is such
that all the surplusage can be sold at re-
muneratiye prices. During the past five
wears great export trade with England
has grown up, especially in beef, fruits,
and the products of tn dairy. Last week
owing to the largo purchases for foreign
shipment, butter and cheese advanced
sharply In New York market, and since
then agood article has been hard to OBJ
tain at any price. The fall shipments

CONFUSION, business of all kinds ought to
feel the stimulus of the present favorable
condition OF things, and new tide OF
prosperity set in.
Whether the change shall prove to be
permanent one depends largely on the
uso that Is made of this prosperity. AL
ready speculation and "kite-nying" are
becoming more prevalent, and Indicate
that men are once more making undue
haste to become rich. But if the lessons

growth and prosperity TO which no part |
of Its past can furnish parallel. But
II extravaganza and luxury are to be the
rule, in both public and private life, the
reaction that will surely follow cannot
fail to be more severe than any that has
yet been known.
