wheat is estimated at 32,300,000 BUSH

The great granite monument to the
Ames brothers, builders of the Pacific
railroad, is nearly completed near Og-
den, Utah, at the highest point Of the
road. 1t is a red granite pyramid
sixty feet square at the base, sixty feet
high and will last as long as granite
will hold together. A medallion bust
of Oakes Ames has been hewn on the
west face and one of Oliver Ames on
the east. The cost is 100000.
A house was burning at Oshkosh,
Wis, and woman was left inside.
Her husband cried, give thousand
dollars to the man who saves her !"
A fireman dashed in at great personal
risk and brought her out alive.
Although the husband is very wealthy,
he refused to give dollar of the
reward but the supreme court de-
cides that the offer of $4,000 was valid,
and that the money must be paid. :
Preparations are active in England
in regard to the great international fish
cries exhibition to be held in London
in the early part of 1883. Arrange
ments have been completed to hold the
exhibition in the gardens Of the Royal
Horticultural society. With the exist
ing buildings and such additional space
as will be covered the total area pro-
vided for will be some 220,300 square

Judge Brown, of the supreme court
of Baltimore, has delivered an i'm
portant opinion bearing upon the ques-
tion of what constitutes legal resi-
dence of a government officer, and
where he is entitled to vote. The
Judge held that a citizen who takes an
Office under the government does not
lose his residence by removing to an
other place while he is employed by
the government, unless he intends to
make such place his permanent resi-
dence,
A writer in al Englsh news
paper thinks that the teeth ! of
Americans must be getting into very
disastrous condition when it requires
twelve large factories, turning out
100000 artificial teeth ayear, to sup
ply the annual loss, and $2,500,OO0
worth of gold to stop up the cavities
that appear in natural teeth. These
figures, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
do not prove that our teeth are worse
than they used to be, but that we are
taking better care of :hem.
The Prussian government, alarmed
at the continued state of emigration,
has been seriously considering what
means to adopt for checkingt the steady
drain upon the population and re-
sources of the country; and it is now
proposed to take the ground that per-
sons who intend to emigrate must first
prove that in doing so they will not
violate any contract obligation, public
or private, express or implied, like
those that may be construed to exist
toward municipal and village commu-
mites, families and employers. Wher-
ever it is impossible to infer the exist

authorities will doubtless be ingenious
in spelling them out, and measures
will be taken to prevent emigration in
all such cases.
Bands of gypsies wander about in
large numbers in some parts of Ger
many, and occasionally, emboldened
by their numerical strength, and
rendered reckless by their necessities,
they do not hesitate to make serious
inroads upon the farms that they come
across. Lately a band counting over
