APoor Outlook For Wheat.

A Poor Outlook For Wheat.
 LONDON, Feb. 25.-The present prospect for the wheat crop throughout England and Scotland is asserted by competent authority to be the most unpromising ever known at this time of year. Even with favorable weather from this time henceforward the crop IS certain to be disastrously short and a condition of distress even worse than that of last year is believed to be inevitable. It is probable that at an early date measures will be introduced in Parliament for the relief of the agricultural classes and especially the small farmers by government adjustment of arrears of rent which will become very oppressive in the event of scanty harvest.

The Business in East Bound Freights.

The Business in East Bound Freights.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-East bound freight shipments keep up wonderfully well in spite of the indictment weather at the beginning of the week and the difficulties the roads have to contend against and the troubles oc- casioned by the floods in the East. The east bound shipments from this city for the last week were only about five thousand tons less than the heavy shipments of the week be fore, when shipments of flour, grain and provisions amounted to 57,612 tons. The railroads themselves are surprised at the heavy business they are doing at present and now hope that business will continue quite active until the opening of navigation. Ow- ng. to the fact that all the roads were very busy during the week and got more business than they could handle nothing further was heard about cutting rates. It is the general opinion that no new contracts are now being made at less than tariff rates, although it is quite probable that some of the business that went forward, especially flour and grain, has previously been secured at cut rates. The total shipments of four, grain and provisions East from the city by the six pool lines for the week ending February 24 amounted to 52, ,S60 tons. The shipments for the corre- spending week last year were 39, ,691 tons-

sa1m1 Morse and His Passion Play.


 NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Salni Morse issued number of invitations to persons to witness the Passion Play at his residence last night, but Police Captain Williams on hand and arrested MT. Morse after 8 portion of the first scene was enacted. The audience sym pathized with Mir. Morse and the curtain was rung down after the actors and actresses had sung the ''Hallelujah chorus" At the police station Mir. Morse was bailed in $500 to an- swer to complaint of giving theatrical performance without license. MT. Morse was arraigned at the Jefferson Market court to day. His counsel claimed that it was not 8 theatrical performance, but merely private entertainment given by MT. Morse at his own residence to invited guests, none of whom paid any fee for admission. The hearing was adjourned until Tuesday, Mir. Morse be- ing put nominally in the custody of his law yer. There is every probability that MT. Morse will now sue the city for damages for false imprisonment.

A POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR FOOD.

"After all, these Virginia City miners
says California paper, have big, gener-
GUS hearts. The other evening one of them,
who was finishing up a weeks spree in
Frisco, stepped out of the Palace Hotel af-
ter dinner and ran against haggard-look-
ing, shabby genteel woman, who was weep
ing on corner. What is the matter,
marin p said the miner. She told him sad
story--poverty, sickness, large family OF
children, nothing to do, nothing to wear.
Is that the best frock you've got 2 said
the rough fellow gently. She said it was.
Hc felt in his pocket. 1t contained just one
500 piece, which he intended to devote to
wine and wickedness that evening. Stop
hero o moment, marm,' and he lodged
around the corner into dry goods store
In few minutes he returned and, press
ing small bundle into the poor woman's
hand, disappeared with the air of man
who has done kind act gracefully. The
starving figure eargerly undid the package.
1t contained q pair of embroidered silk
stockings"

GREAT GOLD BARS.

We saw this week. ct the Bank of Calfor-
mia, says the Mining and Scientific Press,
the largest gold bar ever cast in the United
States. 1t was shipped to the bank by the
North Bloomfield (hydraulic) Mining Com.
pany, of Smartsvile, Nevada County, Cal
The value of the bar is $114, 900, and weight
511i pounds troy. Its length is Is inches,
width inches, and depth inches. 1t con-
tnins $50 cubic inches of gold, and is worth
about $40 per ounce.
| The mould for this bar was cast at the
Nevada foundry of George G. Allan, Nevada
City. The entire dimensions of the mould
are as follows: On top, II inches long and
inches wide; on bottom, 1G inches long
and inches wide. 1t contains 1880 Gu
bic inches. The thickness of the sides is I
inch and bottom ! inch. The mould weighs
1873 pounds, and was cast expressly for max
ing this bar The castings were from iron
produced ut Clipper Gap, in this State
The North Bloomfield mine, from which
the gold came, is one of the most prominent
hydraulic mines in California. The run il
not an exceptional one, though the bar is.
The line of the tunnel is cleaned up about
twice n year. and this time they thought
/ they would see what they could do in the
way of casting a big bar. The bar is said
70 have been the result of a twenty days
run.
1t was in 1873, if we remember Alright,
that the Spring Valley Mining Company
sent down to this city bar weighing III
pounds, worth 81 900. At the time they
thought this the largest bar ever made, but
at their request we made inquiries and found
that Seligman & Co., bankers, of this city,
had received one from Helena, Montana,
worth an even $4,000; the London and
| San Francisco Bank had one worth $35, 600,
and the Mint and Bank of California had
each one worth $1,000 The San Francis
co Assaying and Refining Company had also
had one worth S41, 900.
The Spriug Valley people then went to
work, and after thirty-fve days run, with
1000 inches of water, with partial clean
1p of 800 feet of head fume and II under
currents, produced bar worth $71, 273. 10,
weighing 800 pounds.
Since then, however, the Spring Valley
Mine, Cherokee Flat, Butte County, shipped
to this city gold bar valued at about $780,
600, and that was considered an exception
ally large one. Tho North Bloomfield
Company, considering it owned the biggest
hydraulic mine in the State, thought it
would made the biggest bar with the result
noted.
/ There is no special advantage in making
bars SO large, except in happening TO have
4 the gold to do it with. Smaller bars are
more convenient TO handle, and some people
even prefer the metal in small circular shape
such as We are accustomed to see on bank
ers' trays. The big bar we refer to is on
the way to the Mint, out on Fifth street
where it will soon be transferred into coin
The North Bloomfield and the Milton by
draulic mines, both under the same manage
ment, have produced this season abou
S1,000,0o0 in gold, and the ground they ar.
in is increasing in richness right along. Th
doesn't look much as though hydraulic min
! ing was dead industry.

SURGERY ON Cow Hon. Harrison Bail
ey owns COW which is highly valued. A
few nights ago she got into corn6eld and
filed herself so full of the provender there
that she was unable to rise when she laid
down, aud nothing short of her death was
expected until noighbor came along and
undertook to relieve her by plunging
butcher knife into her flank just in front Of
the hip bone. This failed to have the desir.
ed effect, aud another neighbor proposed to
enlarge the hole made by the knife and re-
move the food. To this the owner would
not consent until convinced that she would
die anyway, aud then the experiment was
tried, and fully six bushels of undigested
corn, cornstalks, and grass, in state Of fer.
mentation, were removed from her paunch.
The opening was then closed, and in very
short time the animal was on her feet and
as contentedly chewing her cud as il MOTH
Ing unusual had happened, aud is to-day as
well as any other COW on the place. Shelby

THE HORSE AND TaE GOOSE

In summer when the grass was green
And all the woods were gay,
A horse, good natur'd, somewhat lean,
Din'd on truss OF hay.
Quite little dreaming OF abuse
He was accosied by goose.
"Tell me, poor horse, how can you be
Confin'd TO such lot?
To daily plod the sandy sod
so dusty and so hot;
To dine on hay so crisp and Cry,
And never once attempt to lly?
81 can spread my wings and sweep
Der spaces large and wide;
Swan-like battle In waters deep
Where sunbeams glance and glide
Three elements proudly claim,
And you, but one, poor horse, what shame p
The naughty goose more would have said
Now grown superbly vain,
When patient horse raised up his head
With look of cold dlsdain,
Saying: sBetter far 1t would appear
Ifcholce to me would fall,
ToSbe perfect In one sphere.
Than be goose In ALL"

WOMAN'S VANITY.

Though she is old, she think she's young
And yet there's no insanity;
What can 1t be deludes her thus?
IT'S only woman's vanity.
She wears gay clothes, both pink and blue
o weakness OF humanity
And then she tips her cap awry,
Which shows woman's vanity.
What's more, she thinks she's quite a "blue,
Although there's much inanity:
How can she think herself q wit?
Go ask woman's vanity.
But, ladies', though her fault we see,
Let's treat her with urbanty:
For more or less we all have got
A spice OF woman's vanity.
