[Charles Dudley Warner in Harpers Magazine. ]
 We would like to know, and like to have q communication from the young man who has just attained his majority who will, at a date we need not now fix, be President of the United States. The young man exists somewhere, and we hope he is in training for his high office. On the 9th of January last Prince Edward of Wales, who is predestined if all go well with him, to be king of Eng land came of age. He is marked and set apart; he is under certain bonds of behavior; his education to be king must seriously be- gin, and all England is interested in it; it will watch every action and criticise every tendency. He is no longer free man and he cannot be self-supporting; there is no oc- cupation he can enter on for gaining ,liveli- hood consistent with his coming dignity The government must vote him an annual supply of money, and he must have an es- tablishment and begin to play his role. If he is lad of spirit he must chafe under this espionage, this restraint and the limitations of his dependent condition. His subjects hold the purse-string; his subjects demand that he shall be this and shall not be that; his subjects have now the ballot and can cut him off with @ shilling or put him one side altogether.

 Our American lad-who may be reading this paragraph about himself, for we trust that he can read, and has not, like Andrew Johnson, put off this elegant accomplish ment til after his majority-is under no such limitations as his English brother, Ed ward of Wales Bill of the United States for we have no fiction by which he would be called by some fictitious title, for instance, Bill of Nicaragua-is probably unconscious of his high destiny. By the time he takes the chair at Washington, or wherever the chair then stands, he will be the ruler, more potent for four years than the king of Eng land, over one hundred millions of people, and have to execute the affairs of the most

 Worcester are like those of New Haven

 mlsJudges the Worcester people. Instead of
 making any such matter the theme of end
 less discussion, embittered by mutual re-
 breaches and fault finding, without result or
 progress, as is the amiab1e New Haven
 fashion, cur Worcester way is to settle it out
 or hand and say no more about it. The
 JOURNAL AND COURIER is hereby informed
 that the Barre and Gardner question was dis
 posed of by the city council at the first ses- sion devoted to the subject. The people of
 Worcester are or would be properly grateful for it's sympathy, but they have no use for it.
 Perhaps the New Haven people would like to
 have the Worcester city council settle the
 Old State House question for them.'' We
 are sorry that we do not feel authorized to
 turn over to the Worcester council the State
 House question, the Tomlinson bridge ques-
 tion, the public library question, and the little Derby problem. We believe these
 matters will never be settled unless some
 outside aid is had, and we have great faith
 in Worcester judgment and skin. ---->--1--
 An address delivered at the National Az ricultural convention, held recently in New
 Orleans, by the Hon. Thomas H. Dudley,
 president of the board of agriculture of New Jersey, was an epitome of facts Of essential interest to the wheat producers of the United States. MT. Dudley pointed out that the great cause of the decline in the price of wheat for importation is the advance of wheat growing in India. The cultivation of wheat in India has grown from a little over 2,00O, 900 bushels in 1879 to Al ,O00,O 900 in 1883, more than half the amount shipped in that year from the United States to England. Of the amount exported from India England takes nearly one-half. England is rapidly opening up railroad and transportation facil- ities in that vast and productive country and, said MT. Dudley, 'in short time India will be able to put down wheat in Liverpool and London sufficient to supply the wants of Europe and yield profit to the husbandmen at less price than the United States can do. / The Golden club, of London, has suggested that America would probably reduce the i price of agricultural labor in order to com pete with the cheap wheat cultivation of h. dia, but MT. Dudley correctly pointed out that there would be a much better remedy in stimulating and strengthening the home market to ability to consume the surplus product of the country. ''If," he said, ''the United States manufactured for themselves the seven per cent. of commodities they now imported from abroad, the people employed in manufacturing them would eat and con sume the whole of the eight per cent. of the surplus agricultural products now exported

 Judge Bartlett of the Supreme court of New York holds that the fact of mans praying on the sidewalk and in liquor saloons is not proof that he is insane
 According to general expectation, the caucus of Republican representatives from New Haven county yesterday provided for the promotion of Judges Studley and Dem ing. There was very little opposition As both Judge Studley and Judge Deming have done their work well hitherto it is reason able to suppose that they will do equally we'll in the higher places to which they have been called.
 Rich men often have some very sensible and pleasing ideas about the blessings of poverty. Andrew Carnegie, the iron king of Pittsburg, who is worth millions, made an ad- dress to some medical students in New York the other day, in the course of which he said: F'What blessing it is that you were not born wealthy. You should be grateful to kind Providence for fathers who have not burdened you with riches. SThe poorest father is the richest one. By bequeathing the necessity to work, the poor man leaves a richer heritage to his son than the million aire can possibly give his. Poverty at the beginning of life is positive blessing, You make question of success; there is none, because success is necessity. Only the rich and pampered, who play as professions, fail in life as class.

The Wind Did Tt.

Many years ago we were watching the ef- fects of hurricane from fourth-hoor W1h- dow in the Rue St. Honore, Paris, when we
 were startled by seeing dish of baked meat and potatoes blown from a nelghborlng Win dow-sill, where it had been put out to cool. It turned over as neatly as though it had been caught up by the cook and emptied by her in some unseen receptacle. Only the illusion was instantly destroyed by seeing the dish itself disappear below. Two unlueky soldiers came in for the largest portion of the gravy and potatoes. How they would have appre- ciated it, given to them in the dish, instead of without it! As it was, they were in 8 fearful state, both of mind and body. The gravy trickled down the back of the neck of one of the victims, and Jumps of potatoes and fat adorned the shoulders of both. At their feet lay the remains of broken dish; the joint was reposing in the gutter. With no amiable countenances they looked above, and saw the last remnants of the fat gravy in which the meat had stood dripping slowly from the window-sill. And into the house they rushed, followed by two sergeants- de- vile; two minutes later lively scene of gesticulations, accompanied with threats and approximations, was going on at the window in question, while the people below were

SAINTS. HUT NOT MARTYRS.
 The Mormon saints have been loud in their
 protestations against the ''persecution" set
 on foot by the United States government, but
 it appears that they do not intend to carry
 their protesting to the point of martyrdom.
 Within few months nine polygamous law
 breakers have been sent by federal judges to
 mediate behind prison bars upon the ad-
 vantages and disadvantages of 'tcelestial
 marriages" When the Edmunds bill dis fifteen thousand polygamists was
 passed the wrath of the Mormons famed up,
 and the priesthood was very brave and de-
 liant. Additional pressure was brought to
 drive as many as possible beyond the line of
 monogamic relations. Then a year ago
 new temple was dedicated, and the utmost
 was made of the opening of this second
 sacred marrying place. Such was the situa-
 ton when, last fall, Judge Zane entered the
 Territory to take up the duties of chief jus
 tice, and was followed after by MT
 Dickson, just appointed district attorney
 Nor was it long before grand jury was at
 work, purged of all who either practised or
 believed in sealing more wives than one,
 which also presently brought in divers in dictments for violations of the marital law
 Recourse was had to perjury and lying, but in spite of all that could be done in his be- half a polygamous elder found himself in a felon's cell. Then another ''victim" was ob tained, and another and another, until it has dawned on the saints that, President Cleveland said, the conscience of the people of this country demands that pelygamy shall be repressed.
 An amusing and significant effect of the knowledge that has been knocked into the heads of the saints is that it does not make ! the martyr-spirit thrive to any great extent. 1 Not long ago they seemed rather anxious to be persecuted, but for weeks past wholesale stampede of eminent apostles and prophets has been going on. Two hundred Salt Lake l elders of high degree and probably as many more from other towns, have fled the scene in mortal fear of call from the deputy mar shals, and, in concealment, or ''on missions" in the East or over sea, await the end of the l present stress, and the dawn of days in which ! grand juries will be more considerate of the | feelings of such as endeavor to Hive their re- ligion" in patriarchal marital relations. John l AHJ iol auo HIS COuA9SAAoiS, OauAOu auo Joseph F. Smith, are each and all among the | missing, with not less than ten out of twelve l apostles. while report has it that Penrose, the valiant manager-in-chief of the church l paper, ill his panic-terror and flight, had re course to sun-bopnet, veil and petticoats
 Thus it seems evident that the saints do not intend to fight and bleed much in behalf of their polygamous practices. They are frightened and if the government does not ''let up" on them it may be discov- cred before long that ''the faithful' of Nor mondom are not obliged to be polygamous in order to be saved

vigorous empire in existence. If he now ex- poets this honor, is is safe to say he will be disappointed, for the voters nowadays never choose 8 man who lays pipe for the place in advance. It is safe to say that he is ignorant of hfs destiny.
 If it were otherwise, if we all knew the young fellow just come of age who is to be President by and by, what an embarrassment it would be for us and for him. What life he would lead with the reporters of the newspapersl How could he escape the snares laid for him by the mothers who would like to be the mothers-in-law of President2 If he is in college, how self-conscious the tutors would be when they marked him, and how impossible it would be for him to acquit himself well at football with the eyes of the nation on him! With what content could he humbly follow mule on a canal tow-path, which he may at this moment be doing with credit to himself and with an eye to the ap- pearance of this achievement in his biogra- phy. Is the young man deputy sheriff? Is he waiting for clients with his heels on the table in some country law office? Is he just beginning to concern himself with ward pol itics with the idea that the gentleman in politics" is to be the winning card in the flu ture? Is he teaching school with view of discharging his college debts? or is he run ming up college debts without any view of teaching school to discharge them. Or has he gone into farming in the West, in order to come forward as Cincinnatus at the right moment, leaving his steam gang blow in the furrow?
 Lightly as it may be treated, this is really very serious matter. The young man is living here and is well known to some of us. And as no decent young man can De sure that he is not the man, what follows? Why, that every young man ought to conduct him self in such manner that his biography, when his campaign life is written, will be pleasant reading, and so that he will be in some measure fitted for the office to which he is to be elected. This is not piece of nor alizing; it is matter of common sense. In order to carry republic successfully, the general average of conduct and ability must be high. If we were able to pick out our man now and set him apart and train him, we could get on as we'll as they do ill Eng
 and, and it would not be much matter what become of the other young fellows. But the risks of position much greater. It is useless for us to say that the ballot is our protection, and that at the proper time we shall elect the best man. The fact is that the man we shall elect (at the time that it is unnecessary to na1ne) is already designated by decree certain, and he is sure to come to his position whereas Prince Edward of Wales may never be king of England. But if we knew his name we would carefully conceal it from him and from the public
