HIS SHIP TRANSFER RAILROAD ACROSS
THE IsTHAIUs OF TEHAUNTEPEC.
Captain Eads was in New York
few DAYS ago, and while there talked
with a Tribune reporter about his
plans and his visit to Europe.
Il have only just returned from
England" he said, "wbere I have been
for about six weeks. l had the pleas
ure of meeting many of the prominent
English engineers, aud was also pres
ent at the jubilee meeting of the SOci-
ETY. for the Promotion of Science,
which was held at York. At that
meeting they insisted that I should
tell them about the Mississippi jetties
and the proposed ship railway. L was
not prepared for such an honor, but /
nevertheless talked about half an hour
OH each subject"
"Was the proposed ship railway
across the isthmus criticised adversely
by the English engineers p
Son the contrary, it was approved.
l did not meet a man who thought the
scheme was visionary ?"
Did you 90 to England to seek for
/ eign capital ?"
ENot at all. My purpose was to
study the mode of taking ships out of
the water at Liverpool"
''Did you receive any offers of finan-
cial assistance p
"Three very important men came to
me and said that they would guaran-
tee that if the shares were offered to
the English public all the money nee
essary would be subscribed within a
week l told them that | could not
enter into any negotiations because
had made proposition with the Unit
ed States Government, and that until
the matter was definitely decided
was not at liberty to do anything to-
ward securing foreign capital. l re,
1 fused their Overtures for another rea
son, and that was because I did no
want monopoly created"
''In what condition is the scheme a
present ?"
'"The Mexican government has made
large concessions, and has done every.
thing toward furthering the plan tina
has been required. During the sum
mer the Government has relieved m'
of considerable expense, by sending
out some Of its most prominent sur
veyOrs, who have made considerable
progress in the preliminary surveys
so that all we are waiting for now i
the decision Of our Congress on M
proposition"
"What are the terms you offered ?"
''In brief, that our Governmen

American Wheat Fields.

Cincinnati Commercial: The pro-
gress in wheat culture in the United
States possesses much interest, ana es-
pecially in view of the high price
which it now brings,as compared with
a few years ago.
As recently as 1850 only about o.
100000 acres of land IN this country
were devoted to wheat culture. BY
1876 the acreage had increased TO
about 20,000,000, and in 1850 TO about
100000.
In New England in 1850 only about
$1,000 acres are planted in wheat.
Yet, Notwithstanding the rocky char
acter of the soil, careful cultivation
made it produce on an average 151s
bushels to the acre.
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Hi
nOis together have an aggregate of
about 100000 acres in wheat, and
the product of these in 1880 was about
1S0000000 bushels.
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, DakO-
to and Nebraka constitute the spring
wheat belt. In these 100000 acres
were, in 1880, planted in wheat, and
the Weld was about 100000, or IL
bushels to the acre.
During ten years the Weld in the
spring wheat belt was increased only
81 100000 bushels, while during the
same period the increase in the yield
in the four States of Michigan, Indi-
ana, Ohio and Illinois, was about 49,
000,000. The small increase and the
small average yield per acre in the
spring wheat belt is regarded as an ar
gument supporting the assertion that
a continuous cropping for wheat with
out FERTILIZATION or rotation will de-
crease the yield, and is also an evil
dence that old land will in time have
to be abandoned, and that wheat fields
moved farther west or a rotation of
crops, alternated with clover, be
adopted. The increase in the four
Middle States shows the effect of bet
ter cultivation and the use of i'm
/ proved agricultural machinery.
! There are number of counties in
/ the several States yielding more than
a million of bushels each. In the ag-
gregate yield, Colusa county, Califor-
MIA, goes ahead of all others in the
union, in 1879 producing 100000
/ bushels, or an average of I718 bushels
! per acre but in the average yield per
acre Stark county, Ohio, occupies the
/ front rank, producing a ITO bushels
| per acre. Michigan has seventeen
counties that in 1880 yielded over a
million bushels of wheat; Illinois,
eleven counties Ohio, seven counties
Dark, 1,070,292 bushels; Hancock,
I,063,0I9; Pickaway, 100000; San
dusky, 1,065,025; Seneca, 1,574522 ;
Stark, l,340,094. and Wayne, 1,257, 1874
and Indiana four counties.
1t is estimated that the wheat yield
of the United States will this year bC
between 350,000,000 and 400,0O000i
bushels, or between 100000 ant
! 100000 bushels short Of last year

Willy King Theebaw of Burmah.

London Telegraph King Thee
baW of BUrmah, whose exploits in the
way Of thinning out his relatives
earned him such unenviable notorietv
last year, has recently, according to
the Times of India, had a narrow es-
cape from death Dy poison. 1t APP
pears that some weeks ago one Of his
royal cOnsOrts sent him a present of
dainty confectionery, with a message
to the effect that she had prepared the
toothsOme gift with her own fair
hands. Theebaw probably had some
private reason for regarding this deli
cate attention with suspicion. for he
very handsomely transferred the Gates
to a favorite mother-in-law, the par
ent of the very Queen from whom he
had received them. Anxious to prove
herself worthy of such a rare and
graceful munificence on the part Of
her puissant sOn-in-law, this august
lady partOOk freely of the prOfiercd
pastry. Two hours after so doing she
was a corpse and her daughter did
not survive her long, for Theebaw, as
soon as his mother-in-law' demise
was made known to him, gave orders
that her Majesty's head should be re-
moved from her shoulders without an
instant's delay. His commands were
obeycd, and the King, having thus
summarily ridded himself of a wife
and a mamma-in-law between break
fast and dinner, doubtless cougratu-
lated himsclfupon having got through
a highly satisfactory mornings work
Jealousy prompted his Queen, it is
said, to attempt his life. Probably no
other reigHing mOnach Is better quail
fled by habit and temper, than King

tinction Of that perplexing passion

The balance in the hands of the
acknowledgement of the English
Court of Chancery amounts to more
than $685., 100000. These funds are
invested in first-class securities, aud
arc derived from moneys paid into
court pending litigations never de-

accumulation of centuries. The new

The South.
Mpnnr,hiS Avalanche

Every day evidence Is developed tending
to show that the South is just now enter
ing upon career of prosperity, the like OF
which was never dreamed of before by the
most sanguine friend of Southern progress
And why should not the South prospect
Its soil is excellent, its climate mild, pro
auctions varied. and its position in relation
to the commerce of the world in every way
advantageous. That new channels of com
me would be opened up, every thought
full man has long ago conceded. And now
these channels of trade are being rapidly
developed, In this grand onward march
Memphis should see its opportunity, ane
proceed at once on the road TO greatness
Why should the Southern states look to
ward New York? On the Atlantic sea
board, hundreds of miles nearer to all thu
chief Southern countries of trade, there
are ports which offer superior advantages
over any that can legitimately be claimed
for any of the Atlantic cities north of the
Chesapeake bay. We may mention in this
connection, Norfolk and rising city-tht
future great emporium of the South-New
port News: This splendidly located port
is situated at the junction of the James
river with Hampton Roads. This place
unless all indications fails destined te
become the chief American seaport on the
South Atlantic coast of the United States
In natural advantages it can be excelled by
none in the United States. just now much
interest centres in the movements in pro
gress which promises ere long to make New
port News for the Southern half of the I'm
ion what New York has long been regarded,
the chief Atlantic seaport, the principal com
mercial gateway, if the term be allowable,
through which vast trade must pass.

developed under the sagacious direction of
Mr.. Huntington, promise to make that
city the eastern terminus of system of
railroads ramifying the entire Southern
States, and extending West, terminating
on the Pacific shore. OF this magnificent
system of trans continental transportation
lines, the Memphis, Paducah 81 Northern
railway viii form an important link. AL
ready Mr.. Huntington has secured this
valuable property, and now the work of
completing continuous line of railway
from Memphis to Newport News, by way
of the Chesapeake ard Ohio railway, is a
task of easy accomplishment. Only
few short gaps are now required to be
completed to make the line continuous
one from Memphis to the Atlantic. In
the West the same company have many
miles of trackway already laid down, and
to complete an inter oceanic line between
Newport News and the ports of the Paci
f1c coast would not be very great under
taking. This system, completed in its en-
tirety, takes in the link between Memphis
and Jefferson, Texas, which so shrewd an
operator as Mr.. Huntington will not be
long to perceive, and of course will ACT
accordingly. Memphis with so favorable
situation on great trunk line of rail
ways running east and west, and the Mis-
sissippi river flowing to the southwark,
ought certainly to profit by such an i'm
mense expansion. And she will profit by
these movements among the people.
