the land is more than surface dried, IL the
state of the growing crops in several southern
countries is any criterion, there will be no
wheat crop this month. Money was hardly
ever 50 scarce in this country as now, and this
has made itself Enthusiastically felt IN Mark
Lane OF late, where the crecit of the smaller
country millers has been much shaken. Bust
ness has been somewhat interrupted by the
holidays, and the tone Of the grain trade is
rather weaker. English wheat was marketed
very sparingly. Full quotations were only
obtained with difficulty, but growers were firm.
Imports of foreign wheat into London have
been very moderate and trade remained I'M.
certain. As consequence of some sign Of i'm.
provement in the weather, millers have hest
tated to increase their stocks. A pressure to
sell American wheat caused the recent ad-
vance Of Cd to be lost. Areduction has been
necessary to effect sales Of Russian wheat

A Soldier Who Found One Hun
dred and Thirty Thousand Dollars.

Ezelot, the French soldier who found the
826,0 900 which NJ. Pages lost in the Northern
Railway station in Paris, has communicated to
the Courier de rAisne the particulars atten-
dant on his good fortune. They are very in
teresting, and show how some men are born
to fortune, some achieve fortune, and some
have fortune thrust upon them. Ezelot was
walking through the railroad station with two
comrades, when they noticed on the floor a
packet wrapped In a newspaper. They kicked
it along before them for some distance and
whep. Ezelot was getting into the train, going
hon on short leave, one Of his comrades,
picking up the packet, thrust it into the can
vas forage bag hung at his side, Ezelot going
on his way without having perceived the little
pleasantly.
Arrived at Neuilly, where his parents live.
his mother, emptying the forage bag, discov-
cred the bundle and thinking it was packet
OF old newspapers, put it on a table in the
kitchen. There it remained for four or five
days, till married sister, calling in and see
curiosity. Opening it, she discovered docu.
menrs representing the E26,000 the loss of
which M. Pages had advertised throughout
Europe. The European papers are not, how
ever, read at Neuilly, where the Courier de
l'Aisne doubtless has it all its own way. The
soldier and his parents, not knowing what else
to do followed the provincial Frenchman's in
stinct and had recourse to the maire. That
functionary, communicating with Paris, speed
lily brought down M. Pages, who, gratefully
paying the promised reward of 91 900, went of
with his oddly recovered treasure. 1t would
be an interesting supplement to the narrative
II we could have some record OF the feelings OF

The Treasury Report.

The Treasury has assumed the importance
in our political affairs that it held a, the es-
tablishment of the government, and the
financial minister is now premier Of the
administration as in the days before the Vir-
ginian line of Presidents ordained that the
portfolio of foreign affairs should carry with
it the leadership of the cabinet. The rebel
lion, which necessitated great increase of
taxation, the collection and expenditure of
vast revenues, and the management of a
national debt of huge proportions, made the
Treasury if not the most important, certain
ly the most interesting department of the
Federal government, and the report of its
Secretary is awaited by the people of the
United States with as much interest as the
British budget by the people of the United
Kingdom. 1t has come to be of far more
Importance than the Presidents message.
This year the anxiety has been to learn
what Mr.. Sherman would say, not what Mr..
Hayes would recommend or condemn.
Mr.. Sherman's administration of the
Treasury Department has been so able and
80 brilliantly successful that advice of his
concerning the national finances comes with
the weight of a masters words. The man
who brought about resumption in the face
Of difficulties that to some of our
profoundest students of political econ
omy seemed insuperable, who in the
face of a hostile legislature, refund
ed the remaining debt at rate of in
terest heretofore unknown in this country,
who has SO honestly gathered and wisely
disbursed the national revenues has won at
least respectful and considerate hearing.
His opinions on our currency system, on the
continuance of Treasury notes, the silver
question, the national banks and the reduc-
tion of taxation will command a wide atten-
ton and provoke an edifying discussion.
That they will not secure the general assent
of even his political friends is certain. To
many of us the views advanced by President
Hayes will seem sounder as they are more
radical and unhesitating. But the Secre-
tary's suggestions will carry much weight
because they are the suggestions of practi-
cal and experienced man of affairs who has
shown wisdom and skill almost beyond
precedent in the conduct of the most i'm
portant branch of the government. The
topics OF which he treats are those which
will engage our Legislators and concern our
people for some years to come; and even
those who differ with him will admit that he
presents his side of the case with great in
genuity and information, and patriotic re
gard for the interests of the country The
Treasury Report of 1880 will prove to be one
of the most notable papers in our documen-
tary history.

IT will be amatter of very general surp rise
that in primary instruction Greece COM
pares well with any of the States in Europe.
In 1881 there were only 40 primary schools
in that Kingdom. In 1S41 there were 45O,
and in 1874 they had increased to 1,13O.
About IS per cent. Of the boys in Greece at
tend school, and the annual estimate for
primary education is little over $4,000,
of which the State pays about one-tenth.
There are also 1856 Hellenic schools and IS
gymnasia, where the instruction is as free
as in the primary schools. The higher class
education is represented by the University
of Athens, which started in 1S41 with 292
students and now has 1850. 1t has four
faculties with 81 Professors and lecturers,
an observatory, botanic garden. lying-in hos
pital, general hospital and eye hospital, and
a library containing 10000 volumes. In
struction in this University, which has
graduated 5000 pupils, is also free.

The Associated Press and the Mes
sage.

The Advertiser Monday criticised sharp
ly the management of the Associated Press
in regard to the Presidents Message, 10
which the agent replied as follows:
ID PORTLAND, Dec. z, 1880
To the Editor of the Adrertiser:
The Associated Press was in no way respon
sible for the delay in the transmission of the
Presidents message. President Hayes did not
entrust it to the Associated Press this time,
but allowed his private secretary to send 1t di-
rectly to each paper through the postmasters.
1t is therefore a question solely between you
and the President. STEPHEN BERRY,
Agent Associated Press
Last year New York journal published
the whole message in advance on Sunday
morning, but the Associated Press kept
faith and gave out no copy until authorized
to do so. This year the President kept it
in his own hands and had copies sent to
Postmasters to be delivered to editors when
message from his private secretary should
authorize it, The authorizing message was
received by Postmaster Goddard, but the
copies failed to come. The Kennebec Jour-
nal received copy at eight O'Clock. The
Boston agent of the Associated Press pro-
cured copy as quickly as it was in type
and put it on the wires. The Advertiser
justly remarks that "The whole plan of deal
ing with this matter is antiquated and un-
satisfactory" 1t is not exactly antiquated
as it is new reform measure, but it is en-
inently unsatisfactory. But President
Hayes and not the Associated Press, is re-
sponsible. The whole matter should be en-
trusted to the Associated Press, and that
can be depended upon to obey instructions :.
The Portland daily press., 1880-12-08

The ludicrous length to which res olute
and tenacious fault-finder will 60 rather
than abandon his grievance is illustrated in
very droll fashion by the position of the
Advertiser in reference to the Presidents
Message. That journal failed to receive
the Message in time for publication in it's
evening edition of Monday. Whereupon it
savagely criticised the Associated Press for
negligence in not seasonably transmitting
the Message. The Associated Press agent
replied that the distribution was not en-
trusted to the Association as usual, but that
the President chose this year to transmit it
directly to the newspapers in care of the
Postmasters and that the fault was in the
mails or in the Presidents private secretary.
Nothing dismayed the Advertiser responded
that THE apology is far from satisfactory"
The situation calls to mind the per-
formance of a prominent New York journal
which had attacked Mr.. Blaine for some
Congressional action. Mr.. Blaine responded
by showing that he had not entered Con-
gress at the time indicated. The journal
promptly and undauntedly said ssWhy quib-
BILE about dates If Mr.. Blaine has no
better defence than this he would much
better have held his peace"
