Russian Wheat.Gr0Wers Alarmed.

The great wheat exporters of Russia
are booming alarmed at the tremendous
competition they have to encounter. Hun
gary and the Danubian principalities were
the first to appear in the Western markets.
but the construction Of railway to Odessa
restored the equilibrium. Then the Amer
lean competition commenced. and has
ruined the inhabitants of the wheat grow
ing districts of the Muscovite Empire.
Wheat is abundant in the int rior-more
80 than for many years past-but there is
scarcely any communication with the sea-
board. The great military railways run
right through the country, but there are
few feeding lines. The roads and canals
and the care of the wheat in transport are
in as primitive a state as when Russia had
no competitor in the field. If prompt
movement is made by the Government
which is scarcely to be expected at present
Russian wheat will soon be driven out of
the Western markets by United States en-
terprise and the new field opening up in
india.-San Francisco Euentng Bulletin.

How yut.negs Grow.

Nutmegs grow on little trees which
look like pear trees and are generally
not over 20 feet high. The flowers are
very much like the lily Of the valley.
They are pale and very fragrant. The
nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and mace
is the thin covering over the seed. The
fruit is about as large as peach. When
ripe. it breaks open and shows a little
nut inside. The trees grow on the islands
ofAsia and tropical America. They bear
fruit for 10 or 50 years, having ripe fruit
upon them at all seasons. A fine tree in
Jamaica has over 1900 nutmegs on it
every year. The Dutch used to have all
this nutmeg trade, as they owned the
Bauda Islands. and conquered all the
other traders and destroyed the trees. To
keep the price up they once burned three
piles of nutmegs. each of which piles was
as big as church. Nature did not sym
pathize with such meanness. The nutmeg
pigeon. found in all the Indian Islands,
did for the world what the Dutch had de-
termined should not be done-carried
those nuts, which are their food. into sur
rounding countries. and trees grew again,
and the world had the benefit.

A young man by the name of Micah sherman

10 Liverpool and the ChinCha Islands and from

HIS holfbrother. Mr.. Joshua sherman. now Of

from the voyage, but steadily grew worse until "a

No EVENT in Ireland for many years
has caused such widespread commotion
as the arrest last week and imprison-
ment, without an opportunity for de-
tense, of E. Dwyer Gray, High Sheriff of
Dublin, proprietor of the Freenan's
Journal, and a member of Parliament.
The offense for which he was arrested
consisted simply in publishing letter
written by Mr.. William O'Brien. the
editor Of United ireland, to the Journal,
in which he charged that the jury in
a murder trial during the previous week,
had spent the night before coming into
Court with a verdict of guilty, in wan
dering about the hotel, conversing with
the guests and drinking to excess, in
stead of being guarded from communi-
cation with the outside public, For this
publication Gray was arrested for con-
tempt and appeared in court on Wednes-
day to answer. Mr.. Gray asked time
to prove the truth of the statement con-
tanned in O'Brien's letter, but Judge
Lawson refused to permit the introduce
tion Of any evidence, and sentenced him
to pay fine Of $500 and be imprisoned
for three months. The people of Dublin
became intensely excited at the high
handed and summary action of the
Judge, and crowds assembled around
the statue of Daniel O'Connell, where
/ several speeches were delivered de-
nouncing the Judge and the sentence.
/ The Mayor of Dublin and Messrs Par
nell, Davitt and Dillon issued a procla-
nation couuselling the people to abstain
from any gatherings in the streets which
might lead to the least breach of the
/ peace, and stated that in making this
appeal they were expressing the earn
est wishes Of Mr.. Gray. Mr.. Glad
stone in the House of Commons next
day admitted that the action of Judge
/ Lawson for committing Mr.. Gray for
alleged contempt was without precedent
! As measures were at once taken to pro-
cure the release of Mr.. Gray, there can
little doubt that his prison-door, if not
! already, soon will be opened, but that
will neither mitigate nor excuse the
| outrage.

HENsEL AND COOPER's GANE.-The edi-
tor of the Erie Observer relates the following,
done up in Broom style:
Last summer. during the Peunsvfvanfa edIf8-
rial excursion to Long Branch curious little IN
cideut occurred, which the present position OF the
parties concerned ulskes quite interesting.
"One afternoon the writer was sitting the
piazza Of the Ocean House talking with Irwin
Steel, Of the Ashland AdrOcdfe when Tom Cooper.
Chairman Of the Republican state Committee,
and W. II. Hcnsel. now Chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Committee, came along, and Jim
SAMSON. Of the Indiana Dcn0crCf. proposed a game
OF billiards in an adjoining billiard room Some
OF the parties didn't understand the game. but
they took q hand in knocking the balls about
though they handled the cues quite awkwardly
after a while Hensel and Cooper were left as
contestants. and SAMSON constituted himself utn-
ptre. Heusel appeared TO DC doing the best plav.
ing. and the lockers on were encouraging him de.
claring that II would not do to let Cooper make a
point. as he was then prospective candidate for
Governor Finally SAMSON said Heusel had never
been member Of the Legislature or he would be
mp 20 Cooper's tricks; that he had detested the
cameron statesman cheating IN the count by
showing up too many buttons on the wire over
heard.
- Ihis incident may serve 10 remind Hensel OF
the necessity OF looking well to the count Of the
ballots next November"
