The Indian Wheat Crop.

T0I' IUUId VIUUV- UUnUUTUI'T
The English trade journals are just now
in glee over the growth of the Indian
wheat export, the wonderful increase OF
which in the last ten years has given them
cause for much self.congratulation. One
reports the export Of wheat from India In
1876 at 100000 hundred weights, while In
1854 1t had increased to 100000 hundred
weights the value Of the export for the two
years respectively being G660,000 and Co.
10000. According to the cooler headed
business men on the London Exchange,
however, there is no probability of the In
dian wheat supplanting the American arti--
Gle, since the wheat from India does not Of
itself make the best flour, but needs to be
mixed with tic harder grades Of American
wheat. So there is no special cause Of
alarm on the subject, for the defect in In
dian wheat is caused by the climate, and
can never be remeded.

lSt Louis GlObc-Dcmocfat.
Much dissatisfaction exists, we are as
sured, with the scant courtesy shown by the
President and members of his Cabinet to
those who desire to see them on private or
public business, but, as the afTronted par
ties are mostly persons seeking Office for
themselves or others, the country will listen
with politely disguised satisfaction. Little
sympathy will be felt and less expressed for
Democrats who receive rebuffs at the hands
Of the administration, the general impress
sion prevailing that their opportunities are
so pressing and their zeal in behalf Of their
friends so untimely that any snubblng they
may receive will be acceptable to the public.

A Call For Details.

Prof. G.. Frederick Wright announces
that he discovers "On the Kentucky hillsn
certain powders which were dislodged on
the shores Of Lake Superior and swept down
across the Ohio by some ancient ice ay-
alanche. This avalanche must have
damned the river at the present location Of
Cincinnati, and have submerged the site Of
Pittsburg under 800 feet of water. II the
