eral &C Cesnola is the chief moving spirit
in our new museum of art, and is desir-
Gus of handing down his name to poster
ity alongside of Sir Hans Sloan and other
like beneflctors of the human race. He
has made at considerable cost, quite a
collection of statuary and curios, and in
the meantime General Cesnola has not
been neglected. A first class patriot, and
he has nevertheless contrived to get an
enormous price for lot of stuff, which,
If it was not labeled + = = So, 1867
years, Old, you would shovel it out of
Your back yard. Mr.. Feurdent thinks
General de CesnoIa humbug, and is not
afraid to say 50. He declares that num-
bers Of the statues palmed off as orIgi-
mails are nothing at all but bogus lmita-
tions, and declares that General de Ces-
nola, with wiltul intent to deceive, like
the heather Chinee, in the secret recesses
OF his laboratory, has added arms and
legs and heads, and palmed them off as
the work of the old masters; in fact, that
he IS charlatan, and unworthy OF the
confidence Of the public. These are SER
iOuS charges for a man of General CeS-
nola S character, and if proven he Will
have to step down and out. 1t is but just
TO say that he has the entire confidence
of the board OF directors. Professional
jealousy may have something to do with
it, and bless my lucky stars that there
is no such thing among the press.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

Never was heard such a rattling among
dry bones as there is in New York at the
present time. Every day brings to light
some new official villiany, and we are ask
ing ourselves where it is going to end.
1t is now well-ests bliShed that official
corruption is confined to no particular
department, for in peculation and fraud
they all appear to be alike.
The budget for our police is nearly
four millions. 1t takes more money to
keep three thousand policemen than it
does to educate seventy thousand chill
dren. 1t is said that an enterprising cit
izen is about to Offer reward for poor
police captain. The city has been
thoroughly searched and no such man
can be found. All of them are rich;
they live in fine houses, and drive fast
horses, and keep fast-well, never mind,
but the majority of them are pretty fast
livers. How do they do it? Their sala-
ries arc not so large; not more than
enough for the maintenance of decent
family in this expensive city, but they
are all well to do, and it is evident that
their lines have fallen in pleasant places.
Notwithstanding the millions demand
ed for their support, on many of our
most public avenues ana streets are
places with Haunting open fronts which
would disgrace the Mabille or the
Chateau Rouge of Paris, or the Argyle
rooms in London. In each of these vile
resorts your life is entirely and your

THEY DRANK HIM UP.

In the Neighborhood of MarseilIes,
not long ago, was discovered an ancient
Roman burying- ground, containing,
among other interesting graves, that of
Consul Caius Septimus, wherein a quaint
ity of antique weapons and coins were
found, and. moreover, an amphora-
the inscription upon which was all but
legible-containing small quantity of
a thick, reddish liquor. The amphora,
emptied of Its contents, was submitted
to the inspection of an eminent archa-
ologist, who, after bestowing extraordi-
nory pains on the decphering of the
mutilated characters engraven upon its
surface, declared it to be his opinion that
they indicated the presence of genuine
Falernian within the vessel, adding that
Caius Septimus, jovial consul of con-
siderable repute as judge of good wine,
had obviously ordered that a flask of
the best vintage in his cellar should be
buried with him. The scientific gentle
man who had discovered the consul's
grave and taken possession of its con-
tents, upon learning the true character
of the liquid relic in question, at once
started for Paris with his Falernian in a
glass decanter, and. there arrived, invited
dozen of his friends, members of the
Academy of Inscriptions, to dinner at
one of the leading restaurants. At de-
sert he produced the "consul's wine"
carefully poured it into four tiny hqoeur
glasses, and handed it round to his
guests, exhorting them to drink it rever-
emily and outstanding, to the immortal
memory of Caius Septimus. The glasses
had scarcely been emptied when a tele-
gram was brought in by the head-waiter
on a salver, and laid before the founder
of the feast. He opened and glanced at
it, and then, letting it fall to the floor,
fled from the room, with cry of ter
rible agony. One of the startled Acade.
micians picked up the message and read
it aloud. 1t ran as follows: ''Marseilles
Up. NJ. Don't drink contents of am
phora. Not Falernian at all. Have de-
ciphered inscription on foot, which pre-
viously escaped my notice. Red liquid
is body of Consul Caius, liquifed by
special embalming process But the
friendly warning came too late. The
archaelogist and his Academical COL
leagues had drank up the consul to his
last drop.

THE WORLDS WHEAT SUPPLY

1t is not always certain that agricul-
tural departments and commercial aoen-
| cles come very near the truth in their
early estimates CT the yearly crop of
| wheat and other cereals in the civilized
world. In many of the countries of
Europe and Asia which figure largely in
making up the grand total of the yearly
supply of bread producing grains the
means of gathering accurate information
in advance are very inadequate Much
therefore, of any advance estimate must
be based upon conjecture. reports rather
than positive knowledge.
Estimates are made, however, and if
they are even approximately correct for
the current year they are full of encour-
agement for the wheat producers of the
United States. The latest estimate of
the Agricultural Departments places the
American crop for the present at 417,-
OOO,O bushels against 5O4, 600, 900 BUSH
els last year. This makes shrinkage of
$1,000, 600 of bushels on last years i'm
lnenss crop, it is true, but it must be
borne in mind that so, 900, 600 bushels of
that crop is carried over, giving visible
supply for the current year of 467,
600 bushels. Allowing that the home
consumption will be about the same as
in 1882, when it reached $50, ZOO, 900
bushels, there will be a surplus of 1S7,-
600, 900 bushels for expectation if needed.
Will it be needed? To answer this
question reliance must be placed upon
estimates, the accuracy of which cannot
be absolutely vouched for. The Vienna
Congress estimates the total crop of eigh.
teen countries at 95O,OOO,O bushels, or
fifteen per cent, below the average crop,
leaving shortage Of not less than 16O.-
600, 900 bushels to. be filled by American
wheat. This is larger amount than
the average foreign demand and can
hardly fail to keep the prices strong.
If the estimates are any where near
accurate they are very encouraging to the
commercial interests of this country.
The old world wants the wheat and the
new world has it to spare and nobody else
has. The present situation furnishes all
the conditions for a prosperous years
trade. Cracking is not in order at this
stage of the proceedings.
