The Secretary of War has decided to
keep guard at Gen. Grants tomb. in
Riverside Park, until January LIST, 1886.
AT the same time the guard at Gar6eld's
tomb, at Cleveland, will be removed.
The guard at the latter place has l:een
there ever since Gartield's death, and the
reason it has been kept 20 long is that
President Arthur did not care to give
orders to remove He was in delicate
position and did not wish 10 issue any
order, and hence The watch continued
until now. wheE the Secretary Of War
includes the order for removal 10 the one
pertaining TO Gen. Grants tomb.

sWlleats Sales for Export.

"a ~ z
Not 4 few commercial men are noting
IL IS an odd fact that English purchases
of American wheat for forward delivery
are very small this year as compared
with previous seasons The Chicago
Tribune gives as the reaeois for ,liss
decrease two facts. first the large visible
supply, and second an existence Of big
premium, for the carrying Of wheat into
future months, which is phenomenal at.
this time Of the year, and has made it
uphill work for the men who usually
offer about the time Of harvest wheat 10
be delivered later in the season at dis
count from prices current forscash lots at
the date of the sale. In ordinary years
the trade has generally rated deliveries
on the new crop as worth less THANH those
on the old, not because of difference III,
quality, but LOT the expected pressure TO
sell as soon after harvest rs possible
The Tribune goes on to say: That con
dition of things has been wanting this
year, and so both sellers and buyers have
held aloof, the consequence being very
light business, as the transactions were
limited to a few sales. It is by nc means
certain that the holding Of this wheat is
an unmi'iga>ed evil; though it has been,
and is, now recognized: as an incubus on
the trade. The grandest development Of
the facts in regard to the yield Of our
harvest this year points more and more
strongly to the conclusion that We have
no more wheat on hand from both the
old and new crops than can he easily
disposed of. The present situation ap-
pears to give ABOUT a hundred million
bushels Of wheat which can be exported
as wheat and flour We have previously
called attention TO the fact that the char
acter Of our export trade breadstutfs has
changed materially within the last few
years, from the operation of internal
causes as well as enternal ones. The
growth of the milling interest renders it
each year more difficult to sell wheat in
the berry for export, as the flour is offered
at 4 cheaper rate. For this reason tile
absence Of an export demand for wheat
is not powerful argument in favor Of
lower prices here. II the -four be taken
abroad our surplus is in the process Of
diminution just as much as if the equity.
alent in grain were exported. This ap-
pears to have been the case recently. The
millers of this country have been active,
and the indications are that great deal
Of their manufacture is for shipment
abroad, while it is intimated by certain
parties here that they (the millers) keep
the fact as quiet as possible because they
have TO buy the wheat and do not want
to give sellers pretext for demanding
higher prices for the grain.-Ex.

Horse Stealing at ST. Cloud.

. From the 81. Cloud Times
Early on Monday q large, neatly
dressed woman, of dai k comp lexion,
called at Bowman's livery stable and
asked for team, saying she wished to
drive over into Benton county, near
Kings farm. She was given sorrel
mare and spotted horse, hitched to a
hight platform wagon. AS she did not
come back when she agreed to, Dir.
Bowman made Inquiries and found that
she had hired and paid for team at
Coates & Freeman'st the same morning,
but that Rogers grew suspicious of her
and would not let her have the team.
It was also learned that she had been
seen in East st. Cloud tho previous
night, acting; in very questionable
manner. This led Mr.. Bowman to think
that the horses had been stolen, and
yesterday he took slept to recapture
the female horse thief and team.
Sheriff Quinn, of Benton county started
on her trail yesterday after. dinner.
1t was ascertained that she started
soutl, on the Clear Lake road, instead
Of toward Kings. It is.quite probable
that the woman has q male accomplice
who, will meet her at some place and
relieve her of the horses. Some think
from her height and raw-boned APP
pearance that she was man in dis
guise, but Mr.. Bowman does not enter
tain any such idea.
A reward will be paid by Mr.. Bow
man for the return Of the team. There
is also a state bounty of 5000 for arrest
Of horse thief.

A surprising AWak enjng of ACTIVITY !

A surprising awakening of activity in
regard to railway building has become
evident. The year opened with dcpres
sion in business circles, but the record of
the past nine months shows the total
number of new roads 10 progress and
proposed IN The United States to be 626,
with total mileage Of 44,393. The
mileage of proposed new roads and those
already in progress Of construction is
greatest in the western states, being 81 ,696
miles. The greater part of the proposed
roads are 10 he short local lines, intended
for legitimate needs Of communities and
generally wanted to give connection with

Pompeii's Danger.

There is reported danger that the
latest eruption of Vesuvius will over
whelm Pompeii afresh. The whole oil
the old city has not yet been disinterred
bv any means. 1t is slow work to res
urrect a wealthy place which once con-
tanned at least 10000 inhabitants, from
such deep tomb of ashes and scoria;
and furthermore the work had to be
prosecuted with extreme caution. Reck-
less haste might result in the destruc-
ton of priceless works of art; too
sudden exposure to light and air might
cause masterpieces of fragile material
to crumble into dust. 1t has been
hoped that further researches would be
rewarded by the discovery of precious
manuscripts-works of unknown auth
ors, or complete copies of works where
of the greater part has been lost. and Of
which we possess only fragments of ex-
quisite beauty. Already many manu-
scripts have been found; but these were
not of the character hoped for. A del
uge of lava would end all research OF
this kind, and deprive the world of one
of its most delightfully."- interesting
places of pilgrimage.-N. o. Times.

Visit Of . Traveller Who Enjoyed His
Surroundings.
A scene I cherish with especial ten.
derness is that passed at Changhi, be-
hind Singapore. A Malay fishing village
lay beneath our bungalow upon broad
and snowy beach. In barbarous regions
of the North men live underground, but
these dwellings were suspended in the
sunny air among plumes of cocoanut
and betel: behind them rose the shadowy
Jungle. There was no cultivated land
in sight. for the Malay finds his harvest
and his garden in the sea. The smooth
sand below high water mark was a par
terre of sponges. green and red, and
purple blue, intermixed with coral. Old
fashioned people in Europe cherish
certain round masses Of limestone,
daintily tiuted, and put them under a
glass case for ornament. Imagine their
beauty in the spot where nature places
them, every lip and hollow on the cream
white surface traced out in widest
pencilling of green. with the seaflowers
of sponge around them.
But after the first impulse of delight
one almost comes to overlook this charm.
ing foreground: for beneath the water
lives tangle and maze of all things
lovely for shape and color and growth
and motion. Coral takes hundred flow
cry forms. weeds branch ike trees or
wave like serpents; sponges are cups OF
amethyst and ruby. When waves lie still,
one sees just as clearly into the depths
below as into the air above, and almost
as far as it seems. The vegetation is
gigantic in its loveliness. There are
coral growths shaped like an Egyptian
lily and as white. but three feet in di-
ameter, wherein mermaid might take
her bath. Others break into thicket,
each twig covered with snowy ro>ettes
which bear a morsel of green velvet in
their bosoms. Others are great round
hillocks diapered with emerald. with
here and there a bush of scarlet thorn
springing from their sides. Through
and over the garden long silyery weeds
tremble and culver in net. Small fish
as quick as humming birds. and almost
as gay, dart to and fro. Water snakes
float past in coils like Indian enamel of
every shade, in red and brown and yel-
low and purple. am grateful that fate
