There appears to be chance for corner in tea. The low price of tea for some years has had depressing effect upon the culture in China, and the last crop of oolong in par ticular was very short, so that the surplus for export to this country will be only 10000 chests, against 80, 900 last year. The Japa nese crop, which is almost wholly consumed in this country, is also reduced little. and the Chinese stock of green for export to America is said to have fallen from 1s Ooo,- GOO to F, ,OOe 1000 pounds.

Rattlesnake Jake,s Death.
From the Portland Orcgonian.

From the Portland Orcgonian-
On Big Spring creek, in Meagher county, .
few days ago, Rattlesnake Jake and his partner
O'Fallon, two desperadoes and reputed horse
thieves, attempted to run a small place called
Lewiston, and meeting with some opposition
they declared they would clean out the town,
and commenced shooting at Everybody in sight.
There were only three guns in the town and
they were placed in the hands of men Of I'M
daunted courage, who used them with such
good effect that both of the supposed horse
thieves were run down in a short time, ORAL
Ion being shot first, through and through with
a Winchester rifle, and Rattlesnake served in a
like manner o short time afterward. Both
men showed great pluck. O'Fallon, after be-
ing shot through, rode back to his partner
and asked him if he was hnrt: Jake said that
he was. "Well," said O'Fallon, 81 am shot
and am a deadman, but l will stay with you"
At that IN he fell from his horse, then
raised himself upon his knees, took deliberate
aim with a Winchester at a young man named
Smith, an outsider, who was trying to get
away from the ~fracas, and. shot him through
the head, killing him instantly.
The citizens saw that there would be more
men killed if the thing was not ended quickly
and shooting of pistols of all sizes commenced
in earnest. O'Fallen took five shots in the
body before he fell the second time and then
he raised himself on his side and continued
shooting until he had not strength enough to
support himself, and after lying Town he kept
shooting as long as there was life in him
Iattlesnake Jake, after he was shot through
the body, kept shooting; then his right arm
was broken by a ball and he changed to his
left hand and kept shooting; another ball
broke his left leg and, supporting himself by
the other, kept shooting; another ball struck
his chin, carrying away half his jaw, when he
fell on the ground, raised himself on his side
and kept shooting. From weakness he could
not support himself any longer and he fired
lying flat on the ground. There We're nine
balls in him before he gave up. Just before
draw his pistol again, but had not strength
enough, and it fell by his side.

Decline of Wheat in England.

A correspondent Of the Country Gentleman,
living it England, notes the gradual decline in
the value of the wheat crop and the necessity
for a change. He says: .Our crops Of wheat
for the past nine years have been deficient, for
the acreage produce has been only 2411aa
bushels. The main cause of this low average
was the disasterous season of 1879, when the
crop was estimated at but Is bushels per acre.
The most productive wheat crop of the present
generation was in the hot and dry summer of
1868. The difference between the last harvest
and that of 1868 is very striking indeed, and
it shows in bold relief the changed position of
the farmer. The price Of wheatof the former
Bb erSs5s w at tS Sa s priea e e1 pe Rs quarter mart acre. and Is 81
year the average yield is placed at 20 bushels
per acre and the price 36 shillings.. The farm
er would therefore pocket 45 lis per acre.
Thus it is plain that wheat cannot be
fish farmer asserts that he cannot grow
wheat at less than about 99 per acre. The de-
crease of wheat cultivation in ten years amounts
to upward of 1,WN,O00 acres, and about double
to be imported. More land is being laid down
to grass and the alteration of the times obvi-
ousiy points in that direction. One result of
the times appears TINT a greatreduction of rents
is imminent; Many of the large owners are
granting reductions of rent which range from
10 to 40 per cent but a reduction of less than
80 per cent is of little avail, and very lately a
number of farmers have sunk under their bur
dens. The agricultural situation would have
been much worse but for the good prices OBJ
tanned for cattle and Sheep
On the point regarding the shipment of store
cattle from the United States he says: "The
idea of bringing store cattle from the western
states of America is entertained by some British
farmers, especially those in Scotland, but it
looks somewhat Utopian. 1t is granted that
stores are too high; then why should not the
British farmer rear and get the high price for
himself. A one-yesr-old and under pays as
much, counting the value of food consumed,
as a two-year-old or a three-year-old"
