THE Cincinnati Price Cnrrant publish
es special returns of the growing wheat
crop, indicating an almost uniformly ia
vOrable condition and fiattering pros
poets, especially in Ohio, Kentucky, In
diana and Michigan. In Missouri COM
plants are exceptional. In Nebraska
the winter crop is generally reported ia
vOrable. Wet weather has done harm in
Illinois, while in Kansas and Iowa are
complaints of dry weather, but an aver
age crop is expected. The most serious
complaints of winter killing come from
Wisconsin, with increased acreage gen.
orally reported. The Price Currant re-
CARDS the promise favOrably for an I'M
usually large yield of winter wheat,
while the returns from the spring selec-
tiOns indicate an increased acreage in
this crop.

THURSDAY of last week Representative
HOrr, of this district, appeared before
the Ways and Means committee and
argued against the removal of the duty
upon salt. He stated he represented a
constituency who made over 100000
barrels Of salt each year, they having
over 81, 100000 invested in salt works;
that salt works could only be run profit
ably when connected with saw mills;
that 81 100000 had been sunk in attempts
to run wells Independent of mills; that
for the last four years salt had been pro-
duced at an average of IS cents per bar
rel. He showed that in only one instance
in the history of the nation had salt fall
len in price when the tax had been re-
moved and that was in 1857, when the
panic and not the exemption of duty re-
duced the price. He demonstrated that
the proposed putting of salt upon the
free list would deprive the government
of $8C0OO0 in revenue and not put one
dollar in the pockets of the people.
The Washington correspondents of
the daily press say that the
argument was in Mr.. HOrr's usual fOrci-
BILE and convincing style, and was given
with much apparent feeling on the sub
ject and listened to by the committee
with closest attention. Among those
present were most of the bridge COM
mittee from Michigan, and at the close of
Mr.. HOrr's speech they gave him very
hearty congratulations, and none more
SO than his own tOwnsmen, Win. l..
Weber, one of the leading Democrats Of
the state.

AT the last October session of the Su-
preme court two decisions were rendered
regarding certain tax titles, which were
at the time largely copied by newspapers
throughout the state, and although only
collaterally touching upon the subject
in general, the opinion seemed to be
that they greatly strengthened this class
of cOnveyanceS by the state. Whether
due to these decisions in definitely set
thing the position of the Supreme court
upon the subject or not, there seems to
have been since their delivery steady
increase in the sale of tax titles by the
state, as is shown by the records of these
transactions in the Office of the Auditor
General. This increase has been in sales
in the "Old list" or of lands which have
been bid in for delinquent taxes by the
state and the period allowed by law to
the owners for redemption has expired.
An inspection of the record shows that
the sale of "state tax land" in October,
1879, was $3.50 OF; in November, &c.
1853 20, while in December the amount
rose to $2O,812 O8. In January, 1880, it
was $13,S97 81, and in February $751;
$50 40.

M SURVIVES DRAINING.
John Harris Wonderful RecOy.
cry After Having His Head
Split Open.

Gold Hill News.l "a
John Harris, who had his head split
open by a falling ak at the new yell
low Jacket shaft some two years ago,
is again on the Comstock. Although
that ak fell about one hundred and
sixty feet upon his head, and he lost
in consequence a strip of skullbone
four inches long and two and a half
inches wide, he has taken that head to
England with him and brought it
back, and thinks a good deal oft and
with it yet. His is one Of those ex-
ceptional cases in surgery Of which
there are not halfa dozen in the books,
and which ranks with that where a
tamping iron, blown by a prematurely
discharged blast, passed through a
mans head from chin to crown,
and yet failed to kill him. The cash
made by this AK in Harris head
was large enough to kill half a dozen
men. When the bones were taken by
the surgeons from the wound the
large vein between the lobes of the
brain sent a torrent Of blood gushing
forth. 1t was stanched with lint, and
the man rallied. The surgeon feared
to remove the lint lest he should
bleed to death, and it remained some
two weeks till it became so far de-
cayed as to force its removal. Contrary
IN e~xnectation No blnod followed nnr
was there any second hemorrhage
from the wound. Harris has pretty
much recovered from the effects Of tie
accident. lie says he experiences no
head trouble whatever, but he has a
hitch in his walk, a sort of jerk, a let
go-and-go-on movement, which is the
result ofthe hurt. He is a wonder
fully good man for one upon whom the
experiment of dropping an ak 16O
feet upon his head was successfully
tried

KING KEENE.
The Wheat Market of the Conn.
try at His Mercy.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.l
CHICAGO, January 26.-The i'm
preston here among those we'll posted
on Change is that Keene, Rufus
Hatch, Jesse Hoyt, or David DAVIS,
or some other of the New York clique
for this immense amount of grain
locked up is not held by one person.,
sold out his particular stock last week,
thus throwing the burden of carrying
at least part Of the load upon outside
and weak parties. This is the most
natural way for accounting for the
heavy fall Of 81 cents last week.
1t is understood here by well-in-
formed parties that on Hoyt and
others of New York refusing to buy
Keene's January wheat, about the
middle of December last, he sold
largely for February delivery. These
sales at that time, along from the 18th
to the 18th Of December, broke the
wheat market so that it went down
from S1.354 to $l.26s per bushel. This
gave Keene at that time a chance to
buy for January delivery, which he
availed himself Of, paying the cash on
the first Of January. At that time, it
will be remembered, he sent a largo
amount Of money in specie and ex-
change here, and probably raised
other sums in this city on his grain in
store. Undoubtedly he will de.
liver all this wheat on the LIST Of
February, unless he concludes to
buy back the February option.
as he did the January option in De
cember last. If he does not buy back
the February option, then the market
must experience a very serious de-
%cline-that is, unless the other parties
in this immense deal are able to sus.
tain it. So that, on Mr.. Keene's vo-
lition at the end of this month de.
ponds the range of prices here at that
time.
A great deal Of grain is going around
this city, and thus obtaining a market
at the expense of holders here. Oh
course, if the railroad rates we're lower
the grain heldhere would bring higher
figures. But the lookup, not the
roads, is the primary cause of the
present untoward and hazardous con.
dition of the market. This grain held
here might long since have been ship
ped at fair rates if the clique had Sc
willed it, but that was not their game,
The market is slightly better to-
day, March wheat having advanced
from $ll61 to 81 49,:

Murray'S house in TwentyTeighth

A OF srAssENA.
The SON of the HlustriOus Field
Marshal. Dies In the
Poor House.
Salt Lake Tribuno.l

Salt Lake fribune.l
Sunday morning, just as the sun was
rising over the mountains, the spirit
Of him who was once called Count
Massena left its body of clay. He died
at the poor house, with no one but at
tending nurses and two little boys to
wipe away the cold sweat Of death.
Our readers are entirely familiar
with the unfortunate events which
have accompanied the advent of this
son of Field Marshal Massena's into
America, and they need not be but
briefly recounted. He occupied a
high position in Europein different ca
pacities, but when the "favorite child
Of victory" as Napoleon surnamed his
father, lost favor with the sovereign
on account of his rapacity and cruelty,
the family lost its high position in the
a~ristocracy in tho old world, aud Mas
sena, who was but yet a boy, was COM
PEELED to make his own future. He
received a magnificent education and
entered a a monastery. Subsequently
he was at the head Of the inquisition
Of Rome, where his natural instincts
of cruelty served him we'll. Becom-
ing dissatisfied with Roman Catholi-
cism, he left the church and started
on a lecturing tour through England,
where he met his wife. Heis described
as being in that land one of the most
fastidious of men. Coming to Ameri-
ca a series of disasters befell him,
which soured his temper to such an
extent that he became cruel in the
extreme, and the Freemasons were
compelled to refuse him recognition
and to extend an aiding hand to his
wife, who is now a mental on First
East street. His stay in this city has
been one Of misery, and sOlow did his
circumstances become hat he was
compelled to beg and finally seek a
refuge in a poorhouse where he died
Of dropsy. He seems to have inner
tied all the instincts of his illustriOus
father, of whom it has been said
His private character was stained by
imputations of meanness and rapacity
which took definite form in a series Of
accusations brough against him by the
inhabitants of Marseilles. Napoleon
called him a 'robber,' and offered him
a presentof1 GOO, 900 francs ifhe would
discontinue his populations. He paiC
little attention to discipline or to the
comfort Of his troops, by whom he wa
cordially disliked."
