Cause a Decline in England.
LONDON, April 20.-The Mark Lane Express,
in its review of the British grain trade during
the past week. says: ''There was copious rain
fall during the week, and powerful sun during
the last two days, and vegetation is responding.
Spring sown crops have made visible progress
In consequence Of the prospect of a peaceful
termination of the Anglo-Russian dispute half
of the recent advance in wheat was lost.
The sales of English wheat during the past week
were A, 1877 quarters, at 34s Id, against 40, 951
quarters at 37s Sd during the corresponding
week last year. There sharp reaction in
foreign wheat caused by the pacific aspect of
politics Trade off coast was restricted to one
cargo of Oregon at 3Ss Sd, and one cargo of
Australian. Six earpoes arrived two cargoes
were sold, seven were withdrawn and six re-
NAMED including three of California. To-day
the brilliant sunshine and prospect of peace dis
organized the market. Buyers and sellers were
a long way apart, and there was really bust
ness done. Flour was ls01s Cd lower. Barley
was Is lower. Oats were Cd lower. Beans and
peas were unchanged"

to quiet him, threatning to arrest him
if he did not desist. Davis then turned
upon Peterson and shot him through

then ran down the street, followed by
a crowd. A man named Mcbride at

The New Haven News recalls the bibu-
lous customs of church installation 60 years
ago, when Rev. Leonard Bacon began hia
pastorate, and "the ecclesiastical society fur
nished free drinks for all who were minded
TO order them at the hotel bar. The society
stood treat to all cOmeTs, and the amount of
the bill may still be seen on the books of the
society This was tho custom Of all churches
on such occasions, and had the First church
failed TO conform to the custom, II would have
been regarded az a miracle Of meanness."
The Indians of California make bread
from gTasshoppers. They drive the insects
into pits with branches of trees, when they
are easily caught and put into bags The In
dians have way of taking the wings and legs
from the hOppers by pressing upon the bags,
leaving only the bodies. The insects are
spread on canvas stretched upon the ground
In a sunny spot, where they become dry as
leaves in the oourse OF week. The hoppers
are then ground into fine powder in stone
mortara, in the same manner as corn, and Rf-
terwards made into bread. Old Oalifornians
who have eaten the bread say that 1t has
pleasant taste, not unlike that from wheat
flour, and that il is Just as nourishing. The
Indians like II better than wheat bread.

no valid objection to "a private petition TO

conscientious juror with a motive of freeing
his own mind from prejudice and passion,
but claims that "a public prayer in such a
place" made in the hearing OF associates, is
not legally admissible The theory OF this
claim is that zone long practiced in the WELD
ing OF this subtle influeneeseAn play upon the
feelings and Judgment OF his weaker brother,
aud the more gifted in prayer the leader is,
the more powerful will be his influence" On
this ground he asked that the verdict be set
aside and a new trial ordered.

II ia a curious natural phenomenon that
after an earthquake has occurred in given
locality it almost always follows that there
are succeeding earth tremors. Sometimes,
m in Spain, and az more recently in India,
these subsequent shocks are more severe than
the first convulsion. Tho records Of these
seem to justify the modern scientific expla-
nation Of earthquakes. II ia held by inves-
tigators that these earth tremors are due to
the generation OF steam in some Of the up.
per layers OF the earth's covering. The surface
water, particularly in countries where noun
tains have been thrown up by volcanic ac-
tion in the recent geological periods, drips
or percolateB downward through cTevices aud
assures in the rocks, until At last quite
quantity OF II in collected in some subterra-
mean chamber, where IN consequence Of
great heat, an enormous pressure Of steam is
developed. When one takes into account the
rapid increase in temperature as a descent is
made toward the centre OF the earth, and al
80 considers the enormous power that may
be developed by steam when subjected to in
tense heat, it will readily be seen that explo-
sive effects can be produced by these simple
instTumentalities, by the side Of which the
operations of chemical explosives such
dynamite, gun cotton, etc, fade into insig
nfcance. When an earthquake takes place,
disarrangements occur in the strata Of the
earth, allowing portion of the steam to es-
cape, while other portions of it, forced into
new channels, are subjected, perhaps, to
even greater heat and tension than that which
caused the first tremor, thus causing succeed
ing earthquakes IL is also curious fact
that these earth movements are rarely deep
seated ones that is to say, they travel
through the upper strata Of the earth's sur
face. On the west slope of South America,
earthquakes frequently occur which are felt
along the entire coast but which are not per-
ceptibe 30 or 100 miles eastward on the
other side of the Andes mountains. In the
same way earthquakes that have from time
TO time taken place on the Adriatic coast of
Italy are not felt on the Mediterranean slope
of the Apennines, these deep rooted noun
tain chains preventing the shocks from ex-
tending, just AZ a solid breakwater prevents
the swell Of the ocean from communicating
its influence TO the waters that il protects.
