American wheat Abroad,

The late statements concerning the
European wheat crop indicate that
more than the usual amount OF Amer
can wheat will be demanded this year,
and that with the present low prices
in this country the demand should be
very large. The crops OF the current
year in the European wheat growing
countries and much below those Of
last year, when about $4,000, 900.
bushels American and Indian wheat
we're required to make up de6ciep-
ciee.
Great Britain alone must import
not less than 100000. 900 bushels
this year, and France from 5O,0OO,-
600 to 100000. There will be
less wheat exported from India and
Australia than last year, owing to de-
creased acreage and shorter crops.
Fortunately the United States has
an unusually large surplus this year
and will be able not only to supply
bread to the hungry Europeans but
put money in the national purse in
doing so. The receipts for American
breadstuffs have been considerably
greater for the first three-quarters of
the current year than for the same
period in 1885, and the last quarter
is almost certain to show a greater
increase in proportion, now that the
European crop situation in definitely
known. PhiIadelphia Times

The boat proceeded calmly on her
way, but Westenhaver, who had
never piloted the boat on that river
before, and was sick, ran aground at
Sleepy Greek. After much cursing
and several Intellectual attempts to
tap the keg, the boat again headed
up stream. Then for more than ten
miles, the excursionists flew along.

only by the "drop, drip ofthe tears

BY the Republican and citizen legions,
That naught was left but their friends to
pray
Their souls from the internal region.

With the clay-cold corpse concealed from

With our torches dimly burning,
| And the same old s'spades" of those gall
liant braves,
| Were used for the salt turf turning.
Few and short were the prayers we said,
We finished our work and left them,
| With Morrison's friends, we still pray for
| the dead,
| OF their "masses' none have bereft
them.
And there they lay in the moonlight cold,
| On the banks of the lonely river,
| No stones were erected the tale to unfold,
Our dead are forgotten forever.
| And now in the 'bottle we seek relief,
The officers all have departed.
| With our late leaders we've come to grief
And hence are all broken-hearted.'

in America to-day is political edu-
cation, more thorough understand
ing of the issues Of the day, SO that
men can act and vote inteIligently
for themselves and not upon what
some one tells him. This can be
done by organizing clubs in the sew
eral districts for the discussion of
subjects pertaining to the affairs and
condition of the country, both gene
raj and local. The tariff question,
finance, international intercourse,
&c, would be topics that would be
beneficially editying. 1t would also
be an incentive to our young men in
the country to read and post them
selves upon subjects that our politi
clans tell,aus are so hard to under
stand. The truth is, they do not
want us to understand them. Some
of the best men we have had, laid
the corner-stones for their great and
useful lives, by discussing important
questions in rural school houses.
Take the average voter of to-day;
ask him why he is Democrat or
Republican, Gas the case may be, }
and his only reply is: "my father
was one," or, II was raised thus and
So" Every man who is made part
and parcel of the government should
be able to define the principles Of
the party to which he belongs. Then,
and not until then, will the voting
element be what it should be.

George Wiley is well-to-do
farmer living on Cove Creek, this
county, says the Caredo, Wayne
County, Adyance. He and his wife
have lived together continually for
twenty years. Meantime they have
been blessed with about half q dozen
children. But several months ago
Mr.. Wiley employed a man named
Thomas to work for him, ALLEVIATE his
wife's affections from him and the
woman left her fond husband and
loving children and ran away with
Thomas. Last Thursday Thomas
came back to Wade Atkins residence
about one mile from Wiley and Wade
Wiley, a 17-year-old son of the I'M.
faithful woman, was there. Thomas
told him he had retured for his
mothers clothes also told the young
man that he intended to make his
father move out of the large house so
he and his mother could occupy it.
The young man warned him to keep
away from his fathers premises and
few angry words passed between
the two, when Thomas cooked pistol
in his coat pocket; then Wiley drew
a revolver and shot Thomas.
Wiley has not been arrested, and
from what we can learn it is not likely
that he viii be, as the sympathy Of
of the people is with him and they
think him justifable in shooting.

WOMAN.

A handsome woman Is dangerous
A woman has neither love nor re-
spect for the man she can rule.
One bad woman can keep whole
neighborhood in hot water.
A woman who is not jealous of her
husband is not in love with him.
This world is full of beautiful wo-
men, but truly good one is a rarity
Two things always trained for ac-
tion-a woman's tongue and a mules
heels.
Nine cases out of ten when a wo-
man says she hates man she is in
love with him.
Woman is the sweetest and the
bitterest gift of God to man.
A woman will confess to almost
anything but the fact that she is
growing old and ugly.
Ihe devil Is never as black as he
is painted, and a woman is never as
innocent as she appears.
Ii you want to keep a woman 8
love, keep up slight but steady
Irritation with her most hated rival.
When woman gives you her love
don't lay it away on ice for safe
keeping. Better keep it in the warm
est corner of your heart, SO if she
calls for it any time you can return
it in the condition she gave it.

A silent man is generally the SAT-
est adviser; he thinks before he
speaks, and weighs we'll his words.
Some men are as ready with their
opinions as hungry man for dinner !;
all that is required is an opportunity
to air them. Others are so voluhle
they tell all they know about their
own business, and their neighbors'
as we'll. Generally, you can take the
measure of an inveterate talker, as
it's wind and froth. On the other
hand, the man who holds his tongue
IS not easily fathomed. "Still waters
run Deep" with but little noise and
friction while the shadows foam and
fret with con slant tumuIt.
AS rule, the silent man is meth
odical, pains-taking, careful. He
weighs his words and pounds accu-
rately. In business he makes no fuss
or parade; he transacts it, however,
with diligence and prudence. Brag
and vanity are twins; together they
were born, and together they will die.
Conceit and boastlng are poor ele-
ments in trade, airs put on as soon
as little money is made usually nave
chill. Boosting of big profits and
a speedy fortune to every listener
shows lack of good sense and sound
judgment. Men have been hung on
their own testimony, and merchants
have failed from too much tongue.

All men and women shoald rejoice
to remain part child all through life,
however long its course may run.
The games, the dance, the anecdOte,
the feast, assembly of friends, are as
much part of humanity as its nat
ural power to laugh or to perceive the
point of wit. Amusement is one Of
the forms of human happiness. The
happiness, like old Thebas, has a
hundred gates for its coming and
going-the gate of tears, for man
weeps when he is happy, amid music,
or in revisiting his mothers home the
gate of pensiveness, for he is happy
when he reads Gray's Elegy. or walks
in the rustling autumn leaves; the
gate of admiration, for a man is hap
py amid the beauty of nature and of
art; the gate of friendship, when
heart finds Its companion heart; the
gate of hope, for man is happy
when the coming days are pictured
with these angel figures of expecta-
ton. Of these hundred gates of
happiness, amusement makes one
planned by the builder of human
life 1t must open before us, and we
may all pass in and out as long as
the heart shall remain unbroken by
death or grief.

The Funeral.

1 was walking in Savannah, past church decayed

When there slowly through the window came a
plantive funeral hymn;
And sympathy awakened, and wonder quickly
grew,
Till found myself environed in little negro pew.

On the altar a coffin, in the coffnswas child.

truding lip
And had seen perhaps thousand in my hurried
Southern trip.
But no baby ever rested in the soothing arms of
Death
That had famed more flames of sorrow with his lit
tie futterng breath;
And no funeral ever glistened with more sympathy
profound
Than in the chain of drops that enclasped
those mourners round.
