that California wheat is losing caste in Euro
st whose doors does the cause of this falling
down in quality and prices lie, and upon
whom will the loss falle On the other
hand, who has control of the remedy,
and how can the lost ground be regained !?
Let each wheat farmer decide these
questions for himself, and determine
his own course in the premises. California
seems to have been especially negligent and
exceptionally unfortunate in the matter of her
wheat, and this has probably arisen from the
fact of the former high reputation of this
grain. Even our sister State of Oregon
refers to the dirty condition of California in
order to induce her farmers to keep up the
standard of their own product. The Board
of Trade of Portland lately passed some res
buttons in which they say that the wheat crop
of that State for 1879 was sent to England in
so bad a condition that it only realized prices
scarcely equal to California wheat. Ten years
ago Californians would have resented this ex-
preston. but to-day we are compelled to sub
NIT to and thus admit is force. But from
the same source we learn that the
same Board in 1873 gave notice
that shippers would not receive or place on
shipboard at Portland any wheat which was
not clean, pure, merchantable wheat, regu-
lation which was strictly carried into effect,
and as a result the Board say it has been of
immense advantage to the farmer and pro-
ducer because in consequence thereof Ore
gon wheat has advanced from to II cents
a GENITAL more than California wheat in
Europe. Encouraged by this result of their
former action, the Board at their last meeting
determined: First, not to receive any
shelled. smutty, weeviled. damp or musty
wheat, but to reject all such and all wheat
in foul condition will be cleaned at expense
Of sender. Second, that any unsound, torn
or badly-stained sacks received in Portland
are to be replaced with good new sacks at
senders' expense. including labor" Had
the San Francisco Board of Trade taken
action similar to the above ten years ago, we
have no doubt it would have saved California
wheat the reputation it has now lost, and
would have saved to the wheat farmers of the
State millions of dollars But it is never too
late to do good, and we learn with satisfac-
ton that public meeting has been called by
the San Francisco Produce Exchange, to take
into consideration the best means of improv-
ing the quality, condition and cleanliness of
wheat, and the best method of reaching agri-
on the SUBJECT.

IErom a New Yorl Ietter.l

from New Yori; letter.
OF course you want to know all about
them-everybody does. And so am CO.
ing to set myself seriously to try and
present narrative that will give you some
little inkling of the great treat in store for
the public when the 50 Pirates shall find
home in this city. The quotations from
the music, which are kindly furnished me
by Mr.. Sullivan, viii give just enough to
indicate the light gems, to illustrate the
programme, as it were, to indicate a recog-
nized something of the score, in the way
that the artists sketch permits you at once
to know the original, all the while it does
not introduce you to 1.-THE OF the beau
ties of the completed work. And the
words? Those, too, as | send them, do not
give the tender light and shadow of Mr..
Gilbert's exquisite fancy. but in a sketchy
way, as a reporter would, they summarize
the. more than witty thereto. SO, good
reader, do not think I serve you the dish
proffer sample of its delieioLsness, full
knowing that it will make you earnestly
crave the full dinner.
THE STORY.
The curtain opens, showing sketch of
the Cornish coast, on as pleasant sun
shiny day as one could wish for quiet
yachting party. In front is beach, with
picturesque rocks and caves on either side,
enlivened at the present by the presence
OF sea monsters in the shape of human
pirates who prove to be humane. OF course
the corsair chorus have something to say,
and these informers then inform us that
Frederick, member of their band, in
tends to abandon them at noon, as his sea-
son of apprenticeship with them is at an
end. Ruth, his nurse. then tells us that by
accident she had indentured Frederick
with pirate, and not pilot, as she had
intended, and that on this account she was
living with the pirates, which might ac-
count for their not being so ruthless as
pirates generally are. The first verse re-
lates the fact, It's last half being
When Frederick was a little boy
He proved SO brave and daring,
His father wished 10 prentice him

did not catch the sound Alright,
Through being hard Of hearing.
Mistaking my instructions then,
Which in my brain did gyrate,
took and bound that promising boy
Apprentice to pirate.
l soon found out,
Without doubt,
The scope OF this disaster,
But hadn't the face
To return to my place,
And break it to my master.
A nursery maid
Is never afraid
OF what you people call work,
So made up my mind
To go as kind
OF piratical maid of all work.
And that is how
You fad him now
A member of your shy lot,
Which you would not have found
Had he been bound
