WHEAT CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION

There are many facts that may DO
drawn from an analysis Of the situation
which proves that .hero Is nothing TO
DO feared by farmers from an increase
in the wheat production Of the world.
There are enough mouths TO consume
oil that can DO raised for many years.
The New York Commercial Buttetia
says that France has increased her
acreage lG per cent. since s65, that Is
IN twenty years, while the yield per
acre has increased Prussia has in
creased tho outcome ol her cereal crops
from l02,000,000 bushels in ls4l to
265, ,000, 900 bushels in 1879, or from
. bushels to IL bushels per head, The
same journal says that tho Russian
Empire aas increased It's exports from
10000 tons in 1866 TO 6,lG0,000
tons in 1878. In ~ years the average
yield in Austro Hungary has increased
from / . bushels per acre TO 10 bushels
per acre in 1876 and more to-day.
Besides this there has been great in
crease in the imports If seme OF theso
countries, France for instance, and on
the whole it appears that the consump-
tlon Of these countries has more than
doubled durin G the past half century
while the population has not increased
more than 40 per cent. So that con

Paris, March 30.- MrS. MackAy has
expressed TO a Boulevard journalist her
indignation at the report that her dangh-
ter is engaged to Prince Philippe lie
Bourbon. She is very angry with the
Prince for having left to her the task
of contradicting the report, which she
asserts was maliciously promulgated by
n lady on tho Figaro staG, because
she asked 10 be invited TO Mrs. Mackay's
balls and was refused. When Queen
Isabella called on Mrs Mackay TO fe-
licitate her on the alleged engagement
of her daughter, the latter said: "You
know, madame, my opiIion about
titled suitors. Were king TO propose
for my child he should not obtain her."
The aggrieved mother insinuates that
Prince Philippe allowed 70 render his
creditors more patient. the absurd
story to circulate. She expresses utter
coutempt for fortune-hunting bachelors,
a race that are not tolerated in America
The recital of her tribulation is
amusing in its frankness. As the
mother Of supposed hsiress, she is not
allowed moments peace. The chase
afser her daughter is intensely keen.
Every day since she left school, Mrs.
Mac1ey receives piles of letters from
matrimonial negotlatsrs unknown to
her, who demand interviews, tie OBJ
ject of which is to assure her child's
happiness. Innumerable calls are
made by men of business who would

Ono is agitated from center to cir
cumfereace over the Pond liquor law.
Notwithstanding the stringent liquor
laws upon our statues, the liquor
traffic has been practically free in our
State for the last thirty years, the
only restriction being the general
government tax Of thirty dollars fer
each dealer. The Pend law takes
effect in May, and its schedule of
taxation is as follows: When not
within any village or city, or within
one mile thereof, Sl00 when within
village having q population Of less
than 1000 by the next preceding
Federal census, or within one mile
thereof, $3.50 when within any VII
lage or city having population of
less than 10000 Or within one mile
thereof, $500 I; when within any city
OF the second class of 10, go or mure,
or within one mile thereof, $3.50; and
when within AIRY city of the first
class, or withia two miles thereof,
$780," Besides, every dealer must
give $1,000 bond, and may be pros
ecuted for violation OF the law, with
out an indictment by the grand jury
and for every violation be subject to
fine of not less than $500, or impris-
onment Of not less than thirty days.
This is certainly one of the mast rig

Pntent Stock Cars.

The question of stock car superior
to the one now in use and of more
comfortable transportation for live
stock is no new one. II has been much
discussed, but little has been done to-
ward ameliurating the condition of the
dumb brntcs while in trGnsiN for the
shambles. Among the many new
patents for inventors have not been
unmindfnl of their duty if transporta-
ton companies have--is one by Tex
as inventor, Nj. Jim;C Jones, of Whit,
Parker county. This car, we learn,
will be exhibited for the inspection
and criticism Of the stockmen at the
coming Gainesville convention. We
have seen the model, without ventur-
ing upon n description it seems to us
that Mr.. Jones' car is n good thing.

motion, and when the train ia stopped
this ear permits them to lie down
and rest from the fatigue oflong stand

closed. The Tar has movable sides
which may he lowered TO allow the

contrivance, and appears to US to be

News from the Overlooked District.


NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-The news
from the Atchafalaya country grows
more and moro gloomy. The water
has already reached an unprecedented
height and ia still rising rapidly, and
all the information tonight indicates
that the fairest section of Louisiana
will soon be entirely under water. A
large area is already flooded, and "a
the water ia expected to rise two feet
higher, il now looks as IL IL would run
over the levees every whore. All the
east bank of the Teche is under water.
and grave apprehensions exist, which
are well founded, that the west bank
also will BIO submerged. Many thou
sands of people have already been
forced from their homes, and the small
towns, every place, in fact, where high
land and reasonable protection from
the water can bs found, arc crowded
with refugees, who are in a pitiable
plight and calling for food. The i'm
preston is that the water will not GO
down for three or four weeks, in which
event the loss will prove incalcuable.
The section affected raises one fourth
of the sugar crop of the State, which
will about prove total loss. To this
must DO added loss of levees, stock,
fences, etc, which will make M aggrc-
gate amounting to several millions of
dollars. If the food goes down Ia two
or three weeks much Of the cane may
be recovered. This is the only hope
OF tho planters, and II is slender one,
as the water ia only beginning to flow
into the Atchafalaya from the Black
river country in North Louisiana. The
probability is that it will not reach
stand for ten days. AS result of tho
rapid rise to-day, the trains from New

The Comptroller, it seems, will re
commend the further extension of time
for redemption of forfeited lands on
account of nOn-payment of taxes.
These lands were, after considera
BILE expense to the State advertised,
put up at public sale and the State, to
protect her interest, as she had right
to do, became bidder and the lands
were bid In by the State, and upon the
lapse of tho legal time given all parties
TO redeem in, further time was given
by act of the legislature, and now
comes the Comptroller and recommends
still farther indulgence. This seems
to us child's play, The State had
either right to bid in the lands, and
resume again her ownership of them,
or she had no such right. lfthis right
was hers no discrimination should have
been made between her claims aud
those of private individuals who were
bidders at the same sale.
