NEW EDIBLE GRAIN. FoUND.-A new
edible grain is said to have been dis
covered in Russell county, Alabama
The discovery is an important one and
the result is causing a great deal of
speculation to those who are interest
ed in the subject. Not in the history
of civilized man has a single edible
grain been developed. The cereals as
far as history has shown are as old as
man himself.
This newly discovered cereal is fonnd
on what appear to be common swamp,
canes, such as are ordinarily cut for
fishing poles. These canes are found
to be fairly loaded down with grain
corresponding in shape and taste with
oats, but two or three times as large,
containing germ or starchy substance
very pleasant to the taste. Horses eat
the grain in preference to corn or oats
Hogs fatten on it readily and chickens
devour it with avidity. No attempt
has yet been made to make bread from
the grain, but it is stated by those who
examined it that there is no doubt
that it can be ground and made into
NUTRITIOUS, though perhaps dark col
ored, bread.

The examination of the Hon. John
E. Massey on the witness stand by his
antagonist and enemy, Captain John
S. Wise, of opposing counsel. suggests
the inquiry: How many men are there
in Norfolk or in Virginia. whether in
public or private life, who could have
their public and private transactions
SO thoroughly laid bare and scrutiniz-
ed. and come off so well?" Suppose,
for example, Massey had had Wise

The Virginia republican association
of Washington is in favor of the free

they are in favor of anything that will
disrupt the democratic party in this
State. 1t is pure nonsense for South

free coinage. They have no influence
with their party which, according to
its leading representatives. in the North

Splendid Results from Free Wool"

Under the heading above, the New
York Herald says "the great impulse
and quickening which the Wilson "free
wool" tariff and lower duties have
given to American manufactures of
woollen fabrics are daily becoming
more and more evident.
The demand for American raw woods
under the new tariff has so increased
that the price has risen about cents
per pound. During the eleven months
ending with May last 1876, 231, 341 pounds
of wool eleven twelfths of which were
by the Wilson law free of duty were
imported to meet the new and large
demand of our expanding woollen in
dustries. This vast amount exceeded
by 136,00O,000 pounds the imports of
the corresponding period of the previ-
Gus year. In nine months ending May
last II 800, 453 pounds of clothing wool
were imported.
The American people will save on
their clothing and other woollen goods
tens of millions of dollars every year
through the operation of the Wilson
tariff. Manufacturers are paced by it
in the best position they ever occupied.
Already labor also has begun to profit
by the Wilson tariff, and in forty wool
len mills wages have been reported adj
vanced. "Protectonists" are dazed
and dismayed by these splendid re-
suits of free trade in wool.

Wide and Steady Extension of the Clas l.

The forthcoming annual report of the
United States civil service commission
will show that the whole number of
persons regularly employed in the civil
service OF this country Is about 20O,r
600. OF these approximately one fourth
are In the classified service, subject to
competitive examinations under the
civil service rules. OF those In the UNI
classified service, 22.O 900 are laborers,
5000 are appointed by the President,
subject to confirmation by the Senate;
1,5O0 are in the legislative branch of
the Government and 1866 are in the
judicial branch.
The civil service act excludes these
classes from classification. The total
number Of positions affec ted by the ex-
tension OF civil service rules from March
q, 1898. to January 8, 1895, WAS 1884
OF these 5,537 we're added to the claasi-
fed service by original classification,
and 2,647 by transfer of places classi-
fed, but excepted from examination to
list of places subject to competitive ex.
animation.
Since that period about 500 positions
In the Agricultural Department have
been brought into the classified SER
vice, and recent amendment to the
rules brings all employees of that de-
parsmeut into the classified service, ex-
cept the Secretary and Assistant Score.

to each, the chief Of the weather
bureau and his pirate secretary, the
