The Vatican.

The most disappointing thing in the
CITY, says recent American visitor to
Rome, is the Vatican palace. Without
design. ornamentation and tirish, it
would, if detached from st. Peters, be
taken for a factory building, of three
stories in height in parts and four In
others, with neither tall chimney nor a
shutter to window to relieve the flat,
yellow, lime. colorcd walls. The extern
sions madc to it from time to time
changed the running course Of the struc-
turc so that it is zig-zag in line, and has
every appearance of collection of badly
constructed, rambling buildings that
would be decidedly improved by coat
of paint.
The gardens adjoining arc very beau
tiful, portion being laid out in park,
and the remainder in natural forest.
1t is here, when in health, that the Pope
drives every day. Prior to the hour ap-
pointed for this recreation, sightseers
arc made to come down from the over
looking dome of st. Peters.
The buildings and gardens arc en-
closed with high wall, within which
only are allowed the Pope and his attcn'
dants and the servants, whose cottages
clustered together, resemble small vii
Iagc. The latter comprise in their nun.
Der artisans, mechanics, lahorers and
farmers, with workshops and acres Of
Ground, on which are raised the needed
Vegetable supply, making the vatican
entirely independent of outside sources
for its food. 1t isa city within city.

Pierce and the Poker Players.

An "Old Stagcr' tells the following
story to the Washington correspondent
of the Cleveland (O.) Leader "It WAS
on q hot July evening away back in the
fftics. Two Senators and myself were
seated with our coats off in the rooms of
Senator Clemens of Alabama, having q
quiet game of poker. 1t was a game of
tive-cent ante, and the coins were lying
on the table, when gentle knock was
heard at the door. Senator Clemers
yelled out in stentorian tone, Come
in, and the door opened and in walked
Frank Pierce, then President of the
United States. AS we saw him we all
pushed our chairs back from the table
and arose to put on our coats as q mark
of respect. but President Pierce said,
Don't disturb yourselves, gentlemen. l
have just come in to make social call
upon my friend Mr.. Clemens, and l do
not want to interrupt your game No
one stirred and Mr.. Pierce sat down and
chatted few moments with us and then
arose to 90. AS he left the room he
asked some questions as to how the
game was going, and said, II am very
fond Of cards myself, and | wish could
stop and take hand with you, but
have other engagements, and it will not
be possible With this he left. Such
an action in this day would be remarked
upon all over the country. In 1850 it
was accepted rs q matter Of course"

THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.
Probable Yields in the Various
States and Territories.
An Unprecedented Falling OF in
Winter Wheat from Last Year.

s. w. Tallmadgo, Of Milwaukee, presents
his monthly crop report and second estimate
IN the probable wheat yield Of the United
States for 1885 as follows: There is no
longer question as to the damage and
loss to the winter wheat Of this coun-
try. "A falling or of 1G0,O00, 900 BUSH
Els in winter wheat from last year
Is a calamity, and is unprecedented in the his
tory Of wheat raising in the United States.
The present condition Of spring wheat is good,
but we must have favorable weather until har-
vest to produce the amonnt Of wheat
are based on tho present conditions.
The acreage in Minnesota, Nebraska,
and Wisconsin is somewhat decreased,
and in Iowa about the same as Dakota,
slightly increased. The estimates as tabulated
by States and Territories are based upon late
information from the State agricultural de-
partments and other reliable authorities and
are as nearly correct as estimates can be. 49,
The estimates show the probable yield of
spring wheat to be II, 100000 bushels; win
ter wheat, 2l0,O00, 100 bushels; total spring
and winter wheat. ISL ,0o0,0 ,0Uo bushels. From
these figures it will be seen that the crop of
1855, compared with 1884, will show a
shortage in winter wheat Of 60,O00, 900
bushels, and Of spring wheat 1,00o,000
bushels making total shortage Of 2,00o,'

The Exploration OF Hudson Bay.

In the month of February last re-
port was laid before the parliament ol
Canada detailing the results of an expe
dition dispatched by the government OF
that country particularly for the purpose
of inquiring into the navigability Of
Hudson strait and bay, and, at the same
time, of gathering information concern
ing the resources Of that region, and its
availability as field for settled habita
tion. This report represents the first
properly organized attempt that has ever
been made to pierce the secrets Of Hud'
son bay for the public benefit.
1t is at first blush not easy, to under
stand why this mighty expanse of water,
occupying the peculiarly important posi-
ton that it does, should remain for sc
many generations comparatively unex'
plored, and wholly unutilizcd, except as
hunting ground for few New Bedford
whalers, or q medium of easy commune
cation between some half.dozcn
scattered factories Of the Hudson Bay
Company. Although called bay, it is
really an inland sea, 1,0OOmiles in length
by coo in width. having thus an area ol
about 500, 900 square miles, or quite hall
that OF the Mediterranean. 1t drains an
expansc of country spreading out moro
than 1000 miles from cast to west, and
1900 from north to south, or an area OF
3,O0O,0 900 square miles. Into its majestic
waters pour feeders which take their rise
in the Rocky Mountains on the west and
in Labrador on the east, while southwark
it stretches out its river-roots away below
the forty-ninth parallel until they tap the
same lake.sourcc which sends stream
into the Gulf of Mexico. Despite its dis
tancc northward, its blue waves are never
bound by icy fcttcrs, and its broad gate
way to the Atlantic is certainly naviga,
BILE four months out of the year, and
possibly all the year round to properly
equipped steamships. It's depths abound
in finny wealth, from the mammoth
whale to the tiny caplin. Its shores arc
serratcd by numerous streams, some nav
igablc for long distances inland, ana all
stocked with the finest of frcsh-watcl
fish, and clothed as to their banks with
valuable timber ready for the lumber
mans axe. Its islands arc rich in min,
cral ore of many kinds. The country
whose margin its tides lave is well
adapted for pasturagc, while all around
the region swarms with animals and
birds whose flesh or fur renders their
chase a highly lucrative employment
