A Long-Lost Daughter.

A lady, who was a native Of Hartford
county. Connecticut, went with her hus-
band after her marriage to Western New
York, which was then almost wilder
there, and she was on her way to rcioil1
her husband after a temporary separation,
when the infant was stolen from her dur
ing long stage journey. She has never
seen the child since, though she has re-
Gently discovered that she is now living
in Wisconsin, and married.
Ii appears that the child was stolen by
man who carried the lady fifteen miles
by private conveyance to meet the stage
and whom she has always suspected. He
stole the child with the intention of adopt
ing her as his own, and placing her by
the aid of an accomplish, with 4 family
in Pennsylvania, designing to reclaim her
when he could do SO without suspicion.
But the time never came when he
dared do it, and the little girl grew up as
the adopted child of the family. finally
married the younger brother of the mas
ter of the house. and removed to Wiscon-
sin, where she is prosperous and happy.
Communication has been established
for some months now between the mother
and daughter, and photographs ex-
changed which would leave no doubt OF
the relationship, if any had existed be-
fore.
They propose to have a meeting soon,
near the scene of their tragic parting,

How Business is Now Done.

The old methods of doing business are
fast passing away; and whether the
change is for the better or not, those who
wish to achieve success must abandon the
old and fall in love with the new. a rev.
olution has been brought in such matters
and the old methods are daily becoming
obsolete One hundred thousand COM
mercial agents or drummers are now en-
ployed to travel the length and breath Of
the country in the interest Of their en-
ployers, and in this fast age no one, un-
less he holds monopoly of some good
thing, can afford to wait for customers,
SO great is the competition in every line
or branch of business. AS pertinent to
this subject, the Boston Post says: THE
way OF traffic are not the old ways;
wooden ships are going out Of date, and
sailing vessels are giving place to steam;
currency is superseded by commercial
credits; the cable and telegraph have
brought markets close together; railroads
derive their freight profits from the per-
fcctncss of their terminal facilities; men
buy and sell by sample before products
and manufactured stocks are moved;
prices and rates change oftcner now in
day than they used to do in 4 week or n
month; everything tends to economy of
business friction. to bringing things down
to the finest point by the shortest way,
to the performance Of the most work by
the least machinery

that it stupcties its victims to any convic,

He continued the business, and in fifteen
years died of delirium tremcns, leaving

WHEAT FOR THE WORLD.

The vast expectations of profit from
the wheat crop of 1879, have led to care
full estimates as to the amount Of that
grain the United States will produce.
Statistics, chiefly from official sources,
afford a basis for the belief that the
amount of wheat raised this season will
be not far from 440, 900, 900 bushels. OF
this amount, New England is expected
to yield, 100000 bushels; the Middle
States 43, 500, 000-New York producing
10, 600, 900, and Pennsylvania 5000, 900,
bushels; the Southern States 50, 800, 600
bushcls-Nirginia producing 5000, 900,
and Tennessee and Kentucky together
Is, 600, 900 bushels; and the Western
States and Territories 34:}, 600, 0G0 bushels.
Illinois and Indiana lead with $1,000, 900
bushels each; Ohio follows with 40 co.,
900 bushels, Minnesota with $4,000, 900
bushels, and Michigan with $4,000, 600
bushels, and California and Oregon to-
gethcr are expected to yield 10000, 600
bushels
The requirements of the United States
for food and seed are estimated to be
go, 100000 bushels, leaving surplus of
some 40, 900, 600 bushels for expectation.
The Mark Lane Erprcss, in its review of
the British grain trade, estimates the
deficiency i'll wheat to be 12S, 900, 900 to
13G, 600, 600 bushels. An estimate of the
requirements of countries which must
depend upon foreign wheat is as follows:
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1879-10-18

For this 2S3, 900 coo bushels deficiency
the United States will have but 10, 000.-
600 to spare, leaving demand for 49,,
600. 900 bushels more. \ liberal estimate
of the amounts other countries will be
able to contribute towards meeting the
deficiency aggregates $1,000, 900 bushels,
made up as follows: Russia. 1000. 600
bushels; India, 10, 900, 600 bushels; Aus
tralia, 13,000,000 bushels; Chilli, 3.000,-
600 bushels. and Canada, 6,000. 600 bush
els. But after the deduction of the con-
tributionS Of these five countries de-
1icicncy Of 62 900, 900 bushels remains,
without any apparent source Of supply.
These statistics support the inference
that, while the United States have an
important part to perform in feeding the
world, We cannot yet boast that we raise
wheat enough to supply the markets of
nations which depend upon foreign grain.
We may be able to do SO within a few
years, and, were not the demand for the
year 1879 extraordinary, our supply
might even now fall but little short of
the demand. One cheerful fact deserves
recording. namely. that with the world
clamoring for $1,000. 600 more bushels of
wheat than have been produced. the
prices our farmers may expect to receive
will be fat.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.- Senator Conkling,
in executive session yesterday, began an un-
called-for attack on Senator Burnside, who
was on his feet In regard to Rhode Island
nomination. Conkling rose aud charged
burnside with trickery in committee. The
latter was much surprised, but contented
himself with saying that tue statement was
not correct. Conkling then repeated his as
sprttons, and appealed to Senators to sustain
him. At his Spencer Jumped up and de-
Burnside at length found it necessary to use
very decided language to protect himself,
and at last declared emphatically that Conk-
ling was lying. Senator Hoar, IN the chair,
attempted to stop him, raped to order,
and directed him to sit down, but Burnside,
feeling himself insulted, took occasion to ex-
press fervent wish that he had the tongue
Of Blaine, Ia order that he might make q
fitting reply to the Senator from New York
This allusion to the famous personal attack
of Blaine on Conkling In the House In 1866
was keen thrust from Burnside, who went
on further to declare to the Senate, that
in his experience, he had never known so much
duplicity and fAlsehood crowded into any
case as had been injected into this one by Mr.
Conkling. The latter WIS taken considerably
aback at last by the vigor and courage Of
Burnside's return strokes. After some time

visor to register their names before they
could vote. All this trouble and Inconvenience
imposed upon the people In the registration
of their names before voting does not afford
as much security against fraudulent voting
as that OF the former system of appointing
commissioners to decide the qualification for
voting.
The right OF suffrage under the law is
simply age, residence and citizenship, and
can be more readily adjusted on the day OF
election Mt the ballot box, by commissioners
appointed to take the evidence and ad-
minister oaths, and would afford not only n
greater safeguard against Illegal voting, but
would be q greater convenience to the people.

might facilitate against Illegal voting, but

Of the election law. Everybody expected
that he would lead off in opposition to
the repeal, as he had done In caucus, but before
he had uttered three sentences the Senate was
electrified to discover that he intended to sus-
tain the repeal. His speech was a terrific ar
raignment Of the revolutionary tendencies Of
Radicalism, an eloquent appeal for Democratic
unanimity, and altogether as forcible pre-

made This Is almost miraculous Less than

there was no reason for alarm among the

his word being good, whereupon King
quickly retorted that no mans word was
good when falsified by q fact notorious to the

quarrel with Devens. but he could not lsten
