Foreign Trade i'm Ereadstufrs.

The report of the foreign trade In
breadstuffs for December tends to
strengthen the opinion that an import
ant change is III progress IN the method
of marketing the wheat crop. We used
to export more of the natural grain,
but lately the exports of flour have
grown astonishingly and promise to
soon take first place. Thus, last month
the exports of wheat show a decrease
Q70, 900 bushels) compared with the
same month of the previous year. But
the exports of flour show the notable
increase, comparing the same periods,
of 627, 500 barrels, or the equivalent Of
nearly 5000. 600 bushels. The total
was 1,031, ,S75 barrels, and the value
Sc, 376, 163, being an increase of about
S4 600, 600. For the fiscal year 1S67-S
the exports were little over 1000, 900
barrels. In eight years the trade dou-
bled, and in five years more it doubled
again, being nearly 5000, 900 barrels
for the fiscal year 1SS0-S1. For the
first five months of the current year
the average per month was over 700,
coo barrels, For the year a total OF
1O, ,00c, 900 barrels is safe estimate, OF
over S60.0O0,0 900 in value. Much OF
this increase is due to the excellence OF
the p oduct, which in turn is traceable
to the superiority of the grain. Very
little of the Spring wheat Of the North
west goes abroad. The Minneapolis
millers monopolize it, and, with power
as cheap as unfailing water, they grind
flour as high in quality as, compara-
lively, low IN price The processes,
too, have improved. Electricity Is
used to purify the meal, and the grain
Is crushed between rollers instead of
ground between the oid-fashioned
stones. So, while wheat sells for less
than it brought two or three years ago,
our flour is worth nearly 80 cents more
per barrel on the average. The growth
of a direct trade between the interior
and foreign countries is another ele-
ment ii this list. Flour now goes
direct from Minneapolis to Liverpool
or London. The English dealers buy
from American mIllers. Thus, there is
a saving OF two or three commissions.
rhnraerI
that 1t costs very little more to send
such freight across the ocean and halt
across the Continent than it does to
place 1t at the seaport. Other items
OF breadstuffs show little change. the
total value was Si7,0S6.0H, against
Sl3, 500. 400, showing that but for the
increase in -four there would have been
an untavorable comparison with lSS2.

GOLDEN WEDDING.


There is a time beneath New England skies
When the late autumn, as If 10th TO go,
Iingers along the hills with sunlit eyes,
And outstretched hands over the wales below.
A golden haze nOsts round her Ike mist,
The air Is soft and balmy where she sirays,
And 10, as her last, richest parting gift,
She brings the glorious Indian summer days.
So in these lives Of ours there comes time,
After long strife with care, aud self and sin,
When the soul rises by power sublime,
And TO Gods rest and sunshine enters In;
where calm and quiet, and the peace of God,
And love divine, after long, patient years,
Sit jubilant upon the radiant brow,
And life has no more place for griefs or fears
To these, loye-crowned by fifty happy years,
Their golden wedding brings stiu Tarer gifts
Than blessed the glad, br ght days Of long ago,
For now Gods smile their souls TO heaven NJ
lifts,
And in life's bllssful Indian summer time,
SO rich in heartfelt joy, they can await,
With reyerent trust, their Heavenly Fathers vii
Til safe lie leads them through the golden gate

Two Quarts I Guess,

1t is related that Buffalo man, who had
been In the coffee business for several year,
was led to believe that he was sinner.
and to come out on the side OF religions
The morning after he had taken this step
he reached his factory TO find business sus-
pended, and upon demanding an explsna-
tion. his sou replied:
swell. father, didn't know what to do.
| did not suppose after what you said last
night that you would mix any more beans
with the coffee. l presumed 1t would make
difference.
s'Yes, it will make just little differ
ence, d" calmly observed the old man,
- We have heretofore been mixing one
barrel of beans to four of coffee, haven't
we?'
.Yes.
"Well, take out two of the besns-two
quarts about, I guess"

BY vILLETTE.
My lady in castle rests,
Beneath her proud and hammered crests
Whose blazon lights her fathers tower,
And the silken fairness of her bower.
Her damsels round about her stand,
And serfs obey her least command.
A hooded hawk upon her wrist
Is held by chain of golden twist;
And petted hound and palfrey rare
Give pleasure to my lady fair.
Oh, would she thought as much of NE
Beyond the sea, beyond the sea!
Bright as the blue of April skies
Shine her tender, azure eyes,
The rowan's fruit might blush to know
Her crimson lips outvie its glow;
So fair of form, so fair of face,
So stately, yet with simple grace,
She turns her when the feat is done
To count her treasures one by one,
Then calls in haste the willing page,
And bids him bear lovers gage,
Her broidered glove she sends to me
Beyond the sea, beyond the sea!
The lamps are dark in lordly hail.
The flag is furled on castle wall,
The song is hushed within the bower,
Nor rings the harp at evening hour;
The falcon droops, and the favored hound
Mourns with loud and plaintive sound.
Her folded hands upon her breast,
In snowy robes and flowers dressed
My darling sleeps, cold. cold and fair.
A marble image lying there;
My angel love, who waits for me
Beyond the sea, beyond the seal

| WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20, 1888.
| The Civil Service Commission held an
examination here last week. Something
over a hundred applicants presented them
selves for examination. Among them were
old ladies with wrinkled faces and wearing
| spectacles, who looked as though they might
be grandmas: young ladies just blooming
into womanhood: old men whose faces in
dicated that they had seen better days, and
| youths with bright, intelligent faces, just
| from school. There were ten colored men
in the examination.
| One of the questions was how many parts
of speech are there? and an applicant an
swered, "Speaking, writing, reading. and
laughing" No doubt he passed. People
generally here don't take much stock in the
| Civil Service Reform business.
| Work on the Washington monument has
| been suspended on account of the party
who had the contract for furnishing the
| marble failing to comply with the terms of
| the contract. Work will be resumed about
the 1st of September.
| The filing in Of the Potomac flats is pro-
| crossing very slowly. Though they have
been working at it for nearly year, not a
hundredth part Of the area Of the ground
| to be reclaimed has been filed yet. It will
take a century at the present rate of pro
gression to complete the job
| The decision on the abatement pleas IN
Senator kellogg's case was rendered yezter-
day. The court overr1lled all of them.
| Yesterday the case came up on the motion
| to quash the indictment. AS Judge SnelIa-
barger was i'll and unable to be present the
court adjourned until Monday, when the
arguments will be heard. The defendant
has a strong case, it is thought on this
point.

HOPE.
BY GALUS.
When Hope expands her golden wings.
She scars aloft and sweetly sings;
She leaves woeful world behind
And bechons back to all mankind.
Her pathway leads through trackless ar,
TO happy realms, tiiyInely fair,
And, as she scars and sweetly sings,
We hear the noise of coming wings.
The fainting heart revives again.
Strengthed by Hopes angelic strain,
And, as the heavy burdens fall
Sweet peace returns, with JOY to all.
With eager eyes we now explore
The way of life, which lies before,
But where the darkest clouds appear;
We find that Hope is lowering near.
Thus cheered and strengthened by her band
Life's trials met on either hand,
Until we gain that shining shore
Where man shall sigh and weep no more.
