WHEAT PROSPhCF

ST. Paul, Mimi, April 21--From va
rious reliable sources an approximate es-
innate has been made as to the probable
wheat acreage in Minnesota and Dako
TIA, this year, as compared with 1892.
The informer states the loss in acre
age is noted by land being given up to
dairying, but new land breaking nearly
offsets this; while the total acreage OF
Minnesota, in 1882, was 2,572, 600, this
wear it is estimated it will be fully 2, ,000,-
900; in Dakota, last years acreage was
650 900, which this year will be swelled
to 500, 900. and estimated, this will
swell the total crop fully twenty four
million bushels as compared with twelve
millions i'm 1882.

American Postage Stamps.

The new 2-cent rate of letter postage
| goes into effect on the lst day of Octo-
Der next, and by the change the familiar
green 3-cent stamp, bearing the profile
Of Washington, will go out of common
use, after thirteen years of service. The
FIRST issue of the adhesive postage stamp
used by the Government appeared in
1851, and consisted of two denomina-
tions, 5-eent stamp bearing the face
of Franklin, whose zeal and ability laid
| the foundation of our postal system. and
10-cent stamp with the head of Wash
ington upon it. Not long after Il second
series of denominations was issued. The
1-cent stamp bore Franklin's image,
the Washington2s, the Jetfersons,
and the 10 and II a varied picture of
Washington. In 1857 this series was
increased by the issue of a "a, a 30
and a 90-cent postage stamp, and OF
these two different portraits of Wash
ington monopolized the "A and 80, while
a second view of Franklin filled the
frame of the 80 The third issue ap-
peared in 1861, Washington still appear
inc on five denominations, Franklin on
two, and Jefferson on one. In 1868 the
first 2-ccnt stamp was printed. 1t was
black, and bore the face OF jackson
very conspicuously placed. In'1S66 the
15-cent stamp was introduced for foreign
postage, and had placed upon it the por-
trait of Lincoln. These remained in
use without change till 1870, when a
series of ten square stamps of various
designs appeared. Three of them bore
portraits The 1-cent was still reserved
for Franklin. Washington was placed
on the 6-cent, and Lincoln on the 90
cent. The other designs were fanciful
and unpopular, and a new issue, the
one now in use, was brought out a
month later. In this Franklin is on the
1-eent, jackson on the 2, Washington
on the 8, Lincoln on the 6, Jefferson on
the 10, Clay on the II, Webster on the
Is. Scott on the "a, Hamilton on the 30,
and Commodore O. III. Perry on the 80.
The was later given to Stanton, and
the 5 to Garfield Thus il will be seen
that, from the first, the denomination
i'm commonest use has borne the head of
Washington. As the Scent stamp will
now 90 almost entirely out of use,
and the 2-cent stamp become universal,
it is very proper that the Postmaster
General should place the image of Wash
ington ON newly designed 2-cent
stamp, as he intends to do.-Bosten Ad-
gertiSer.

WHY THE BILL DID NOT PASS.

The business man in politics" does
not do much talking, but his speeches
are often effective, as witness the one
speech of Congressman Starin, of New
York. A syndicate of politicians had
got up job to buy portion of the
Brooklyn navy yard for 100000.
While the bill authorizing the sale was
under discussion, Mr.. Starin rose, pale
with excitement, and said emphatically:
"Mr. Speaker, [ am not familiar with
all of your rules here, and I do not
know whether or not I am in order, but
you have property here which you are
going to sell for 5000, 900, and will at
this moment draw my check for it for
$500,000." That killed the bill.

SLEEPING ND CAR SEAT.

What this country wants is for some
man to invent small valise that will
hold enough stuff to last man day or
two away from home, and which is SO
constructed that he can use it for a pill
low, or to chink up the corners in a car
seat so he can sleep. There is no place
on earth that is so lily constructed for
taking nap as an ordinary car seat, and
If railroad companies should study for q
century to construct something that was
more uncomfortable they would fail
1t is possible they make the car seats so
on purpose, in order to make man ap-
preciate sleeping berth more, when he
gets into one. If a valise was made
right it could be great help to a man
when he is trying to sleep in car seat,
but the way they are now he might as
well try to tuck breaking pillow down
IN the corners of the seat to sleep on.
The outside of valise may be of soft
leather, or canvas, and the man will
think he can sleep on it like a child in
its mothers arms, but he Will find his
mistake in ten seconds from the time it
begins to pound his ear. We watched
a man coming up from Chicago one
night, trying to sleep. He had lame
back to start on, and he was mad all
the time. He had his night shirt rolled
up carefully on the inside of his valise,
so it would make the valise soft, and be-
fore he put his head down he patted the
valise, and smiled as he noticed how
soft it was. He laid down and closed
his eyes, and adjusted his lame back to
fit the cushion. and then all was still for

THE SL.4VES PRIDE.

1Ilny curious traits appear in the
character Of the negroes under the in
fuence Of the new conditions of life, or
survive as products of the old order,
not yet outgrown. They have some
times made amusing changes in their
names by way of meeting the require
ments of their new estate of freedom, or
rs tribute to the dignity with which
the now feel themselves invested.
Thus Romeo Jones of the old time now
signs his name Rooney o. Jones; Per-
icles Smith writes himself down Perry
Ciees Smith; and boy who was always
known as Polly's Jim, having learned to
read the New Testament, is now Mr..
Apoilos James. They still feel great
pride in having belonged to rich and
important families when they were
slaves. One might almost as well give
Southern white man the lie as to ac-
cuse negro of having been the slave
of Glow down" or common" white peo-
pie. Never had nothin' to do with pc
white folks" is the universal assevera
ton.
Two young negroes in one of the
larger Southern cities were quarreling
not long ago, and when passion rose to

OVERCOMING ETIQUETTE.

The Spanish court is the most cere-
monious in Europe. It's reputation for
rigor of etiquette is traditional. Even
the minutest details of dress and be-
havior are prescribed by rules, which
are reverenced as if their observance
Was necessary to the existence Of the
State. Once, to the CONSERVATION of
the Court Chamberlain, the rule in re-
lation to dress was relaxed in favor of
an American gentleman, Mr.. NJ. B.
Field, who tells the incident. He had
come to Madrid as a bearer of dis
patches to Mr.. Soule, the American
Minister. A few days after, the Minis
ter was notified that he would be re-
ceived by the Queen, Isabella, from
whom he had requested an audience to
present an autograph letter from Presi-
dent Pierce.
Mr. Soule asked Mr.. Field to accom-
pany him. On being informed by that
gentleman that he had no uniform, he
replied that an ordinary evening suit,
with black gloves, as the court was ID
mourning, would answer.
The Minister himself wore the Benja-
min Franklin costume. It consisted of
black velvet coat, cut single-breasted,
and with standing collar deliberately
embroidered with black silk; black vel
vet breeches, black silk stockings, shoes
with black buckles, black crossword
and black chapeau without plume.
The guard on duty saluted the Minis
ter and his guest as they entered the
palace vestibule with the clang of mus
kets. At the first landing halberdiers,
in the uniform of the sixteenth century,
rang their halberds upon the stone tiles
A group of officials in the ante-room
bowed low to them, and as they entered
the Ambassadors waiting-room" they
