Speculation has less to do with the col
lapse of the grain market than the simple
conditions of trade. From 1870 to 1880
we duplicated the wheat acreage of Eng
land and France. with any OF the smaller
countries thrown in, by the addition to our
wheat fields. For three years. 1879. 80
and 81, bad crops abroad enabled us to
sell our grain surplus at prices which
stimulated grain production elsewhere.
and in the past five years the supplies of
the grain exporting countries have been
increased by an amount from third to a
half as large rs our surplus, while good
crops have been grown in Europe. These
enlarginC supplies have reached the
worlds markets together this spring and
wheat has come down with crash.

The national educational bill. a. it
passed the Senate. appropriates 81. .Oo0.-
900 to be distributed among the States in
proportion to their illiteracy on the basis
of the census Of 1880. the payments OF
the money to extend over series of eight
years The amount to be distributed the
first year is 81 600 900; the second slo,-
0O0, 600; the third. e15. .OO0. 600; the sums
then diminishing at the rate of 42.O 1000
annually until the eighth year. when all ap-
preparations shall cease. The bill also
provides that all States shall make re-
turn of their methods of school manage
ment and the expenditure of the money
appropriated that the money thus ap-
propriated be paid on the call OF the
Secretary of the Interior; that instruc-
ton in common schools thus aided shall
be confined to the common English
branches. except that one-tenth of that al
lowed any State may be used tor normal
schools; that the schools shall be main
tanned for all children without distinc-
ton of color or race; that no greater sum
shall be paid to any one State in any one
year than has been raised by such State
the previous year tor the support of
schools that the Governor OF each State
shall make full returns on all matters re-
lating to the schools each year to the Sec
retary of the Interior. and if any State
has broken any condition of the gift such
State shall not receive further allowance
and finally that the Commissioner of Edu-
cation shall report annually to Congress
the practical operation of the law, and
briefly the condition of common and indus
trial education as affected thereby through
out the country. The bill passed the Sen
ate by a strong majority. Its fate in, the
House is regarded as uncertain. 1t is
measure of large importance. 1t assumes
that ignorance is an enemy to republican
institutions. and that it is the duty Of the
nation, for its own welfare. to take meas
ures for the general spread and growth
OF intelligence among the people of all
the States.

AN ADVENTURE TN PARIS.
By v.

Some years ago, when I first visited
Paris, that city, although then considered
beautiful had not attained the marked
degree of splendor which the energy and
g-nius of Louis Napoleon have since
produced.
Many of the old, narrow streets. form.
erly inhabited by the poorer classes have
been -emoieied, and the magnificent
public and private buildings, together
with the parks, drives, and promenades
IN and surrounding Paris, places 1t, if
not in populatiopi ht least in beauty, the
first city in Europe.
That this was owing to the policy Of
Napoleon there can be no doubt His
intimate knowledge of the French char
ac,er, which be learned while in ADVERSE
ty, srowed him that if he governed Paris
wisely he was master of France. ard lie

The place where my story Commences
was situated near the Rue St. Antoine.

time, and had left the Tuileries gardens
in company with young Englishman
named Graham. whose acquaintance
had formed, and as we both desired to
visit the locality mentioned we proceed
ed toward our destination, having been
previously Informed by a gendarme of
the direction.
After walking about two hours in dir
tv, narrow streets, intersecting each 9th
er in every possible direction, We found,
to our no small surprise. that we were
lost.
This idea was anything but trihiug, MS
We well knew the character which the
police authorities held concerning the
residents of that portion Of the city.
By this time the night had become ex.
ceedinRly dark aud the few lamps which
were hung on ropes across the streets
gave but feeble light, rendering the
darkness more intense beyond their rays

STRANGE USE FOR THE TELEPHONE


A police inspector at Odessa, says an
English Journal. whose name, Dobrijin-
sky, deserves in spite of its dissonace to
be mentioned on account of his clever
ness, has discovered new use for the
telephone. One day recently police.
man brought to the station Jew, having
in his possession II quantity of silver be-
lieyed to he stolen. The silver Sas in
II semi-molieu condition, and had none
OF it's original features remaining to assist
in its identification. Hence, us the Jew
stoutly declared the metal to be his own
property, the police Inspector was put in
n fix, from which all his cross e1amiua-
ton Of the presumed thief failed to ex.
tricate Linn. At last bright idea ruck
him. He went to the telephone IN the
adjoining rooini and, mentioning to the
officials at the police masters Office what
had happened, instructed them to utter
in solemn tones, on a signal being given,
the words, "Itsno Smelausky, it will be
better for thee to confess that thou hast
robbed somebody, otherwise thy punish.
mcnt will inevitably be more severe"
Afterwards summoning the Jew into the
room, he pointed to tue inslrumeut on
the wall, aud told him that il really did
not matter whether he diyulged his crime
OF not, as the "macbiner would do it for
him. At this the Jew laughed outright,
while the inspector placed sheet Of
paper on the table and prepared to take
down the confession. When everything
WAS ready, be told the jew to put the
tubs to his ear, and decide whether he
would confess himself or allow the ma
chine" to do it for him. Then, giving
tue signal, he returned to the table when
second or two later he had the salts,
faction of seeing the Jew's face turn
deadly pale nj hearing the solemn advice
mysteriously conveyed to HIM by the
machine, and OF noting down directly
afterwards a penitent confession from
the thief's own lips.
