WHOSE CHILD WAS IT?-As 1t is evident that
Gen. John D. Imboden was mistaken when he
stated. in his interesting article in the May
number OF the Century magazine. entitled "Iu-
cidents of the battle Of Manassas" that he had.
a few days after that battle, which occurred on
the 2lst of July, 1851. handled Julia Jackson as
an infant near Centreville, on which occasion
her mother was on visit to her distinguished
husband. Gen. "Stonewall" jackson. the ques-
ton now is, who was the person whom, when
a child, Gen. Imboden SO fondly tossed at that
time. This occurred about the Ath or 18th of
July 1861, and Miss Julia Jackson was not born
till November 1852 about sixteen months after
wards. 1t is probable that it was the child of
some one of the Confederate officers, and 1t is
now matter Of some interest to know whose
child 1t was, and what has been its history
since 1t was thus mistak en- for the child of Gen.

railway during the first quarter ofthe year owe
the first quarter OF last year-a most gratifyi G
condition. so far as the vol me of traffic is cor

Chesapeake Ohio during 1885 will amount TO
about one and quarter million tons. but there
are numerous indications that point to the
conclusion that it will be much greater than
this.
THE WESTERN WHEAT PRosPECTs-The well
informed and accurate correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce continues to
give gloomy accounts OF the winter wheat in
Illinois. which he considers practically fail
ure. and that a majority of the largest winte.
wheat producing counties in that State will
the coming fall, he buyers instead of sellers
The condition in Missouri is not quite so bad.
In that State and Kansas half crop will prob
ably be realized. In the Southern sections of
Ohio and Indiana, the prospect is not as en-
couraging now as 1t was first of April. The re-
ports from Michigan continue good. where
there will probably be an average crop. This
review taxi es in all the winter wheat produc-
ing States north of the Ohio river. From Ken
lucky and Tennessee there is no Improvement.
The writer concludes it'll reference to winter
wheat, that the probabilities they will
have nothing in the sections referred to for
export.
The seeding of spring wheat has been greatly
delayed. The total acreage will not be larger
than it was in 1884. 1t was then IL 900 600 acres
yielding Isl, 600 900 bushels.
Corn planting in the States named, will be
greatly increased over 1884 as will, Also oats

from lands intended for wheat, but the seeding
of which, from various causes, was INSTRUCTED.
THE PROSPECTS IN THE NORTHWESTERN
Minneapolis. the milling centre of the world, ~
is published leading trade journal, The
northeastern Miller, which has this to say
about wheat-the old and the coming crop. Il
says the war scare did not wholly cause the
advance which has taken place, but at the
same time, If peace is maintained, there will
be a declining market. The promise for 1885
will be equal to the harvest of 1885, with per-
haps double surplus. which increased con-
sumption will not materially affect. Specula-
ton requires something to feed upon. and the
markets promise to be governed more by that
element than any ether in the absence of war
rumors.
The out. put of flour at Minneapolis for the
week ending May 18th was 5O,S2S barr els, aver
aging 513S daily, the largest amount ever
turned out in the same length of time, and
with an increasing pi aspect for the future.
The elevators and store-houses have heavy
stocks of wheat on hand.
All these matters concern our farmers. OF
whom there are many still holding their
wheat.
