THE CIRcus.
Well, we were all there; the children
had to see the show, and none of them
Were sick. The old folks looked through
fchildren's eyes, for 1oi1e. of them could
ever forget their own Fpthful exeitsz
mklit at the comjne o. the circus, at the
e1hfIa1a zion st the s6nAd pfstAs band,
the roar Of the Ion and flke Fdmpeting
of the elephant, nor forget the eager
awaiting for the wing aside of the
curtain, and the frantic delight at the
grand entree where theshorses bounded
intothe arena, their, riders all spangIed
and brilliant in all the glories of
the circus rider, and when the, clown
with his spotted face and his1pafty COLI
|ored faiment scatteted aIOnld his jibes
apd his Jokes as heawkwardF chung to
his high mettled steed. And then came
up reeoilections of Raymond, and North
and Levi, and Jimmy, Robinson, and
Kinkaid, and the knights of the ring,
who dazzled youthful imagination with,
their reckless riding, and their daring
feats, and their eracefpl aetiHg. And the
old hal bitlie ib6RihS a. conf pare alld be
tinds nothing half SO good as the odd eir-
Gus where. riding was the feature, and
where the clown jim the cozy little ring
where he1was brought face to face With
the spectators, cracked his jokes and
made butts of some unfortunate wight
who might fall under'h eye.I Now in
these huge canvasses everything seems
far away, and the iclewn's voice comes
up sharp and strained from the distance,
and the wit seems forced and the fun
seems artificial, and Master Merryman
cracks his whip without his old. tune,
And the riding is few and far between,
and equestrian skill is at a discount, and
the acrobat and tho symnast take off
the honors:. Il - = -
Take it all in all, Coles circds was a

We mislaid Uncle Rufus IIatch's
article in the New York Sun, OH the
prospective rise in the price of wheat,
which should have been given in our
last issue. The following is a portion
of his letter on the subject:
"For the first time since 1881 the
farmer is to-day the master of the
situation and it is his own fault if he
doesn't make the most of it. If he
will hold his wheat ut 81 ut the station
he will get his price, and by selling
half as much rs he did last year lie
will receive more money for his sales
and still have some wheat left to carry
over to another year. The reason for
this statement is that our wheat crop
for this year is short. The winter
wheat is not more than half crop,
and the spring wheat is reported as
damaged one.third. The government
report for July, which does not in.
clule the damage to spring wheat Git
having taken place to large extent
since the report was prepared,) places
the entire yield of the United States
for 1885 ut 357,O0O,0OO bushels. In
1884 the government report placed the
yield at 5l2,O00,O0O, with 100000 OH
hand from the crop Of 1883. Add these
amounts together and we will learn
the total amount of wheat that this
country has had during the past two
years.
From old crop at the beginning Of the
Total Weld of 1881 s1S 30 ~
Total yield for 1885 (deducting nothing S'''
for spring wheat damage. 35, c0 600
Total for two 800, acc 600
Deduct from the total 909,OOO,OO0
the amount required for home con.
sumption and for seed, namely 70O,.
100000 for two years, and 132,OOOOOO
exported last year, and we have rc.
manning for export and carrying over
but 100000.

Therefore, if we export half as much
wheat as we did last year. we shall
not have Il busllel left at the beginning
of the harvest of 1886 and should the
crop of 1886 be 10 larger than the crop
of 1885, we should bc;importing wheat
within eighteen months, and it would
be selling at famine prices. In 1888
we imported wheat, in 1865 we again
imported wheat, besides bringing it
across the Isthmus from California,
and it sold at 81 per busllel l.. New
York. In 1881, on the snort crop,
wheat sold ut 81 40 in Chicago, and at,
81 60 in New York. The question now
naturally arises as to whcather the
foreign demand is likely to be de.
creased OF whether it will be large"
