Farmers Made Happy.


Dollar wheat for the first time in four
wears will fall on the farmers ears like
the gentle rain upon the parched ground.
With wheat at dollar bushel and fair
crops. there is profit for the grain
grower, but anything below that figure
brings care and doubt. Many Maryland
farmers have already shipped theT crops,
and will be unable to reap the benefit of
the rise in the price bat should 1t be
maintained for any considerable period,
they will derive hope and encouragement
for more vigorous exertions heresfter.
While the present jump in wheat may
be only temporary there are good
grounds for believing that it will COM
mand higher price before the winter
sets in. The estimated shortage OF this
years crop is fifty million bushels, while
what is known IS the invisible sup
ply"-that which is held over IN the
hands of producers. sometimes a large
item-is thought to be at present little
or nothing. The crop in England has
been almost total failure, nor will the
French yield be any greater. India will
export an average crop, while Roumania
is largely short, and in Russia only has
there been an abundant yield. Experts
claim that the average of European
crops will be the worst during tue CEN
tury.
Ordinarily the failure OF wheat forces
the poorer classes in Great Britain and
Ireland to fall back upon potatoes and
rye, but they are this year deprived of
this relisnce. Potatoes have failed III
both England and Ireland, and rye in
Germany, and there will probably be a
demand for oil tie surplus wheat raised
in America. There must be added to
this the constant dread OF war which
prevails in Europe. With six or seven
millions of men under arms, to be pro-
yided with rations at moments notice,
and Russia, the Power most to be
feared, beautifully supplied, it would
be folly for the other possible COM
batants to neglect provision for rainy
day.
The passions OF men or the ambitions
Of princes cannot be computed as accu-
rstely as the grain supply. They may
break out into active eruption with very
little warning, and troops on the march
or engaged i'll warfare need more food
and waste infinitely mora than when
quietly quartered at home. There is,
too, the probability that should war be
precipatsted before the beginning OF an
other summer, 80 much productive labor
would be withdrawn from the fields as to
cause comparative failure OF the har-
vests in Europe. European statesmen
who undertake to regulate the simplest
economical problems for their people
will scarcely fail TO consider such con-
tingcncies. There are, consequently.
sound reasons for believing that wheat
aud corn are destined TO bring better
prices as the season advances.

NEW YORK, September j, 1883.
I give herewith the details concerning
the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera, pictures
of the costumes, specimens of the lyrics
of the most fancifnl and graceful OF Eng.
lish dramatists, w. s. Gilbert, and all
the financisl details respecting that ope-
ratio and theatrical event, the production
of a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. None
OF the facts given below have been pub

ting the gist of the opera ahead OF time
lust before left London last month.
This information comes TO me direct,
and is absolutely authentic.
The title OF the opera is not "The
Tower of London" That title was at
first decided upon, but given up seven
months ago. st the present moment
only three men on earth know what the
real title is. They are Gilbert. Sullivan,
aud their manager, D'Oyly Carte. Three
DAYS before the opera is produced, or to
be more accurate, on the 9th OF Sep
temher, this title viii be announced, ca
bled to the different companies who are
to do the work, and it will then become
public property. That Gilberts work IS
no to its usual standard is shown by the
lyrics. The principal song OF the come
dian is not of the gay and hamboyant
order of the admiral song in Pima

tience." 1t is more in the fashion OF

them q State or two. but from the stand

-CheWiHg Girls.

New OK SUM-
The Post Express is engaged in a cru
SADIE against the abuse of chewing gum,
and TO make it more efectual calls in the
aid of poetry:
"The girl that ever chewoth gum
Should vol tho man that drlnSo;h rum;
r ~ he's not deaf may she be dumb,
= 'Ttb girl that ever cheToth gum
"Life's cup should be but froth sud scum
Unto tho girl that cheWeth gum;
1.-The girl that ever chewsth gum
Should for pillow have dunn.
"When she would rest from chewing gum,
Her meat be tough. her bread ruInbl"
This is too hard on the girl. Thehabit
of chewing gum is nasty and disgusting,
but the poor girl who has acquired it un-
consciously and innocently should not
be so violently dealt with. Address her
with fact and argument and with an
peals to her better nature. Thus she
NAV be led to see her folly and to throw
the gum away and never have any more.
But while the deluded and unfortunate
girl should be pitifully and kindly
treated, no mercy should he shown to
the railroad conductor or trainman who
ever cheweth gum. He should be
bounced at once by that railroad COM
pany and never be taken back no,
never
