Good Wheat Prospects I'm Ohio.

We remarked yesterday morning that the
announcement that the Ohio wheat crop had
been seriously injured by the March freeze
and thaw' was premature. Since that para
graph was written We have passed through
seven counties in the State, and have looked
out upon perhaps 100000 acres Of growing
wheat. We talked with scores Of farmers,
many Of them old acquaintance, and their
uniform testimony is that the wheat never
looked better two weeks after the opening Of
spring than it does now, and that il there be
any failure or shortage in the crop the csuse
Of failure remains 70 be developed. There
are, Of course, occasional fields that do not
look promising, but that is always 90, and is
the result Of slovenly farming. But. as =
rule. the stand is good and the color il
superb. Grain operators will do well not TO
gamble on short crop Of wheat in Ohio

1t appears to be certain that nihilism in
Russia derives much of its strength from the
secret support it receives at the hands of the
mobiles themselves. The arrest of the Grand
Duke Nicholas and his reported sentence to
Imprisonment for life would seem to imply
that he was directly implicated in the late fa-
tai plot which had the Gar for its victim.

A new phase of the temperance reform at
Berwick. Pennsylvania. is reported. Most
of the men in the place are employed in the
car-shops of great manufacturing company.
Recently the president of the company called
the hotel-keepers AMI other licensed liquor
sellers together. and proposed to pay them
the amount they would make by the sale Of
liquor for one year. on condition that they
would not apply for licenses nor sell liquors.

Electricity Applied t, Balloons.

On Saturday last the Balloon Society
inauguratea their winter session by a
meeting at Lille Bridge, West Bromp-
ton. An address was given by the
President. Mr.. W. II. lie Fevre, G. f.,
on the electrical stationary balloon in
vented by NJ Jules GODDARD and NJ de
Fonvielie. A new application of cleo
tricity was about 10 be made. which, il
WAS true. did not enable one 10 propel
n balloon, but by which the system of
aerial navigation would be considers
bly, improved. The first step to be
takenin making n balloon stationary was
TO prevent its gvratng. MN. GODDARD
and de FonYielle had overcome this by
means of a disk somewhat similar TO the
face of the compass placed in the CEN
ter of the ear poised on a vertical axis.
When one side OF the car was lower
than the other the disk or plate became
instantly affected. An electric current
was simultaneously transmitted 20 a
magnetized point Immediately opposite,
which had a contrary eject. and placed
the car in equilibrium. The Plante-
Faure battery which produced the cleo
trio current would at the same time act
on small shaft running at the bot
tom of the ear and turn small screw
The balloon would thus neither as
eend nor descend. This principle has
been carried out successfully and prac-
ticahy recently on small scale, and
lac believed wonld come into general
use in a very short time. He consid-
cred that this was the most extraOrdi-
nary discovery in connection with the
storage of electricity that had ever
been made, The result would be that
the law of gravitation would be over
come, and that We should be able TO
suspend a body in the air at any alti-
tude and in any position. -Lo.sdOa

A Corner In Black Calico.

The fuctuating price of mourning
goods since the shooting OF President
Garfield affords signal illustration of
the eagcrness with which tradesmen
seek to profit by public necessity. There
have been three or four occasions re-
Gently when spectators have bought
up large quantities of goods with the
design Of cornering the market. Then
the mills would be set at work TO make
up the deficiency. Each time that there
was report OF the probable death OF
the President the mourning goods
would sell rapidly. 1t is reported that
one man, not in the trade. bought $50
cases of black prints for rise. An
ether bought $50 cases; another 100
cases. The price Of these goods rose
from 4 cents 20 g. cents per ward. Had
il not been for the long delay before the
death of the President the market
would have been controlled by the
spectators. But every time the spec
ulators bought the market down close
the mills got a chance TO catch up.
Many OF these goods have been
spread throughout the country among
small, dealers. who saw Il chance TO
speculate in n staple article. There
was, therefore, eleven weeks of prep
aration for the immense demand that
was made upon retail dealers early yes
terday morning The demand increased
rapidly throughout the day. Proprie-
tors of stores that began selling at the
ordinary rate soon saw their stock de-
creasing SO rapidly that they began 10
raise the price. and in many cases prices
doubled, and even trebled. Cla;lin's
great dry goods store was crowded with
retail buyers replenishing their stocks.
Other large houses had pretty much
the same experience
"iiow are mourning goods selling?'
inquired a reporter OF a Bowery retail
dealer.
II had 5000 yards this morning. and
wish had more
"H0w are the prices9'
'' am selling nj ten cents yard
what eos; three in ordinary times"
''DO YOU think the prices will in
crease?"
a. If the city is generally decorated
the retail price Of black muslin will be
twenty cents. and perhaps more. The
