Wheat.
Nashville Banner

/
The wheat harvest in this section
is now fully under way, reapers are
running in every direction. the
weather though exceedingly hot
has been prOpItiOus, much of the
crop is already secured and in a few
days more it will all be harvested.
The quality of the crop is decidedly
good, in quantity it is not large, q
full acreage was not planted and
the crop IS considerably curtailed
by blasting and rust, perhaps we
0an calculate upon two thirds Of a
good crop.
Just at this time it would be well
for our farmers to read up and in
form themselves as to the general
condition of the grain markets and
the probable yield of the incoming
crops. In ten or fifteen days our
market here will begin to open and
the prospects for high prices in the
immediate future are not prOmis-
ing, we hesitate much to give adj
vice. The prices of all articles Of
production are 50 manipulated by
rings of spectators that it is impOs-
sible for men outside of those rings,
no matter how well posted they
may be, to form any correct conclu-
sions as to the real value of any ar
ticle at any specified time. We
think however that we cannot go
amiss when we advise our friends,
the farmers, to go slow, and not un-
necessarily rush their crops upon
the market. All accounts from
abroad indicate no superabundant
production of cereals on the cOnti-
nent of Europe and in England,
our principal customer, the pros
pect il worse than last year when
the crop was very short.
We have Il recent report OF the
Secretary of the Millers AssOcia-
ton at St. Louis, in which he pla-
ces the deficit in the crop of this
year compared with the last, at
one hundred and twenty millions
of bushels, and the Commissioners
of Agriculture report a probable
shortage of one hundred and fifty
million bushels.

The following Is a copy OF the
most memorable judicial sentence
which has ever been pronounced In
the annals of the world, namely,
that of death against the Savior,
with the remarks which the Jour
nal LIE Troit has collected, and the
knowledge OF which must be inter-
esting In the highest degree TO ev-
cry Christian. 1t Is word for word
as follows:
Sentence pronounced by PontIus
PLATE, intendant Of the Lower Pro-
vince Of Galilee, that Jesus Of Nanl-
reth shall suffer death by the cross.
In the seventeenth year Of the
reign of the Emperor Tiberius, and
on the twenty-fourth day OF the
month OF March, In the most holy
City of Jerusalem, during the pom
tificate Of Annas and Caiaphas.
POntius PLATE, intendant OF the
Province of Lower Galilee, sitting
the judgment In the Presidential
seat Of the Prmtors, sentences Jesus
of Nazareth to death on a cross be-
tween two robbers, as the numer-
GUS and notorious testimonials Of
the people prove:
1. Jesus Is misleader.
2. He has excited the people TO
seditiOn.
3. He Is an enemy to the law.
4. He calls himself son Of God.
8. He calls HIMSELF falsely, the
King OF Israel.
6. He went into the temple, fol-
lowed by a multitude carrying
palms I'm their hands.
Orders from the first centurion,
Quirrillis Cornelius, TO bring him
to place OF execution. FoTbids al
persons, rich or poor, to prevent the
execution OF Jesus.
The witnesses who have signed
the execution of Jesus are:
/. Daniel Robani, Pharisee.
2. John ZOrababel.
3. Raphael Robani.
4. Capet. rar ~.
Jesus to be taken out OF Jerusa-
lem through the gates of Tournes.
This sentence Is engraved on
plate of brass, i'm the Hebrew Ian
guage, and on its side are the fol-
lowing words: "a similar plate has
been sent to each tribe" Itwas dis
covered in the year 1880, in the city
OF Aquilla, In the Kingdom OF Ma
pies, by a search for Roman antiqui-
ties, and remained there until II was
found by a Commission of Arts I'm
the French army in Italy. Up TO
the time Of the campaign In South
ern Italy it was reserved In the sac
risty or the CarthusiaDs, near
where II was kept In box
Of ebony. Since then the relic has
been kept In the Chapel OF Casert.
The Carthuslans obtained, by their
petitions, that the plate might be
kept by them, which was an ac-
OF the sacrifices
which they made for the French
army. The French translation was
made literally by members OF the
OF Arts. lennon had
! fac smile Of the plate engraved,
which was bought by lord How
lfd, on the sale of his cabinet, for
!, 800 francs. There seem to tle no
historical doubts as to the authen-
icity Of this. The reasons of the
sentence correspond exactly with
hose Of the Gospel. a

; Dunbar stood silent a moment
every nerve in his manly franl
thrilling with supreme delight. II
J had found her at last, the one itio
of his life.
"They are very fine gems" h
said after moment, "and I an
willing TO give fair price-suppos
we say one thousand dollars, viii
that do ?''
i The girl flashed dazzling gIanc
| of surprise from beneath her heav,
| veil.
$50 much as that ?" she said
| trernulously. "You are very kind
sir. 0, you cannot know how
much this money will help me-"
i The young man made polite re
ply and proceeded to put aside the
| Jewels to draw a check for the
money. The March winds were
still clustering without and the girl
shivered and and drew her wrap
per closer as she started Out.n
"Won't you let me run down to
the bank for your" said the jeweler
catching up his hat.
8 You can play shoplady the
while; it won't be but a minute or
| two"
"But am troubling you so."
"Not bit just take this warm
seat, please; you'll not be likely to
have any customers" And sealing
her beside his desk, he took the
check and hurried out.
Pansie Fontenay threw back her
veil and leaned her head upon her
hand a puzzled reflective look
upon her sweet, sad face.
"Where have seen his face ?''
she asked herself over and over
again. at is so familiar, who in
the world can it be ?'' His return
broke in upon her meditation, and
after receiving her money she hur-
ried away to her humble lodging,
The following afternoon was even
more clustering and stormy; the
wind rOared and the sleet beat and
tinkled against the windows of the
little room in which Pansie and her
father sat. Severe misfortune and
reverse had reduced them to power
ty, and the old man being an inva-
lid, all the care fell upon Pansie's
slender shoulders. She sat with
her sewing, while her father read
aloud from a new book which she
had bought for him with some of
the money received for her jewels.
Her sweet face was wan and sad,
and her future stretched before her
sad, hopeless and gloomy.
There was a ring at the door and
a servant brought up package for
Miss Fontenay. An exquisite
bunch of pansies, fragrant and
golden-hearted, done up in tissue
paper, and attached to them a card,
bearing the simple words: "Ross
Dunbar has not forgotten little Pam
sie."
Pansie sat amazed for moment
and their rich bloom darted up to
her white cheeks.
so, father" she cried, "I knew
him-I knew him o, we have
found Ross at last I"
An instant later Ross was in the
room, clasping her futtering hands
in his, and searching into her blue
eyes with a glance look that
brought the rosy hue to her face. |
And few weeks later, when the |
winds were over, and |
the blue birds sang in the hedges,
and the golden-hearted pansies |
bloomed on the garden borders,
little Pansie became Ross Dunbar's |
bride, and for her bridal gift he
gave her back her string of emer-
aids.

long enough to see whether there

saddled and my pistols in the laOls-

me until Just before dawn, wheIt my
cOachman, a free colored man, who
faithfully clung to our fortunes,
came and told me there was firing
over the branch, just behind our en-
campement. 1 stepped out OF my
Wlfe's tent and saw some hOrselnen,
whom 1 immediately recognized
as calvery, deploying around the
encampment. i turned back and
told my wife these were not the ex-

ers. She implOred me Co leave her
at once. / he5itated from unwill-

precious moments before yielding

when she saw the soldier

auiteau,s Account Of Himself.

In judging the performances of Guiteau at
his trial and the course of his counsel IN pro-
ducing him as witness in proof OF his own IN
sanity, we must not forget that the example OF
sensationalism in the conduct of the case was
really set by the prosecution. 1t was District
Attorney Corkhill who furnished Ithe keynote
of the proceedings by the utterly unnec-
essary minuteness with which he proved
the notorious and undenied TACT of
the killing, and by the unnecessary
and most revolving production in court
OF a piece Of the late Presid 'ut's vertebr@ to
be handled by the jury and the prisoner. 1t is
not surprising that after this both 9uiteau and
the spectators should have looked on the trial
as species of melodrama. in which everybody
was entitled to make the most Of his own role
To Guiteau the trial is evidently the great
success and highest qualification of his life.
There is probably nothing for which he has
longed SO much during the past twenty years
as public notoriety and attentive audience.
