WHEAT PROSPECTS.

The San Francisco Journal OF
Commerce says: The San Francisco
market for the past week has been
quiet and dull, but unchanged. The
market has been almost exceptionally
quiet iii this city though the wheat
purchased long prior arrives along
side in great quantity, and is shipped
with unprecedented dispatch. On
December lst. sever wheat ships
cleared with wheat cargoes eqalling
in value very nearly half a million
dollars.
Foreign markets have, as a rule,
been unchanged. Liverpool has
stood still, and spot wheat in New
York has also remained without
change, but Chicago, even on the
qui vive has advanced slightly. This
may be taken as an indication of a
general advance in other markets
soon. Usually, Chicago is the first
to move-New Yotk generally fol-
lows; then comes Liverpool, and last
of all, San Francisco.
Tue dullness of the market here
is patrly attributable to the fact of
the recent decline abroad; partly to
the high freights prevailing, and
which are probably higher yet, be-
cause they who were supposed to be
authority undervalucd the wheat
crop Of 1882 and this helped to
drive tonnage away from San Fran
cisco. We predicted this, aud our
prediction has been justified by the
event. We suppose, however, that
nothing deferred by their failure, the
wise men will do the same next
year.
The railroad will soon become an
important factor in the wheat trans
portation problem. No doubt, the
wheat of the South, that is of Los
Angeles and San Diego, will be car
ried by the railroad, but the wheat
of the balance Of the State will be as
now, by clippers, but at lower rates
for they will have to be a shade lower
than those the railroad could offer.
The receipts of wheat at tidewater
during the week as well as the ship
ments, have been the largest IN the
history of the trade.

Happy the man whose far remove
From business and the giddy throa3
Fits him in the paternal groove
Uiduestioning to glide along,
Apart from struggle and from strife,
Content to live by labor's fruits,
And wander down the vale of life
In gingham shirts and cowhide boots.
He too is blessed who, from within
BY strong and lasting impulse stirred,
Faces the turmoil and the din
OF rushing life, whom hope deferred
But ore incites; whoever strives,
And wants, and works, and waits until
The multitude of other lives
Pay glorious tribute to his will
But he who, greedy of renown,
Is too tenacious of his ease,
Alas for him! Nor busy town
Nor country with his mood agrees;
Eager to reap but loath to sow,
He longs monstrari dignito,
And looking on with envious eyes,
Lieys restless, and obscurely dies.

Cure for DiphtlierIa.

I'm conversation with one of Stock
toms most celebrated physicians yester-
day, it was learned that dipbtheria,
whichehas been prevalent at Farming
ton, was gradually abating. Said the
medical man: II have practiced medi-
cine for thirty years, and l have never
lost case of diphtheria yet when
called in the proper time. Give the
patient plenty of lime or lemon juice.
Give it in any way that is palatable.
Squeeze out the juice, sweeten it with
white sugar, or give it as lemonade, or
give it clear; but give plenty of lime
or lemon juice all the time. 1t will
not interfere with any other mode of
treatment, and will, if followed, effect
a cure, and the public ought to know
IT, Stockton Independent.
