Our WHEAT EXPORT The brief
items of crop intelligence transmitted
to us from England are important ms
denoting from the prospects Of the
English wheat supply just how much
she may need from our country and
other sources 70 exc It out. This
years wheat crop in England, while
somewhat below an average, is about
one-tourth more than the crop of any
one of the last three years. The es-
timated yield is about twenty eight
bushels to the acre, and the wheat
area is usually about three-and a half
millions of acres. In round numbers
the crop of 1874 is estimated at one
hundred millions of bu.hels, while
the annual consumption of wheat
there is one hundred and ninety mil
lions of bushels This excess of nine
,v millions she will, therefore, have
to import during the coming year.
During the fiscal year just closed, we
sent TO England the largest wheat ex-
port we ever made-forty FIVE mil
lions of bushels. Shippers and deal
ers in the grain trade estimate that
ye will have to make up at least one
half her deficiency tor the coming
year, which would be as much as We
sent her last year. Russia, whence
her supplies are also drawn, does not
seem to be in Il condition to export
more wheat than last year, so that
everything favcrs an expectation from
the United States fully equal TO that
of last year. Tbs will be stimulated
also by the low pri' es of wheat, which
will not only bring us customers, but
also increase consumption abroad
1t is quite evident that we will have
q market this fall and next winter for
all the wheat We can spare, and ut
remunerative rates. The demand has
already begun for vessels in which to
ship it, and very large amount OF
wheat is now coming eastward over
the Pennsylvania Railroad for ship
ment to Europe.

Onr readers have not yet forgotten the


wild spssms of Indignation which used to
seize the Pscas1Iae whenever the matter OF
arming the police and sending them to es-

referred to, and with what vehem epce it
held to the idea that the Governor had no
right to send the men outside Of the city.


When the movements on St. Martinsvile,
on Port Vincent and on COlfax were made
by the Metropolitans, it had no end Of law
and logic to show why such things should
not be. But now, q strike occurring among

dignant that troops we're not dispatched at
once, and on Thursday evening directly
charged General Lougstreet with disobedi-
ence OF the orders of Governor Kellogg in
not forwarding armed men as soon as the
trouble was reported.


The fact is, as soon as the appeal was
made BY the planters for aid. Governor Kel-
logg instructed General Longstreet to send
an officer to the scene of disorder to investi-
gate the matter and to take such other
steps as the circumstances might warrant.
This was done, and upon q dispatch being

Precisely the same course has been par

been sent into the country. it has been done
after a staff officer has visited the disturbed
locality and made his report. The impro-

The launch of the torpedo boat at the Boston Navy Yard marks 8 new era in the history of naval warfare. No government except that of the United States has yet successfully attempted the construction of boats devoted es- pecially to torpedo service and, conse- quently, the boat recently launched at Brooklyn and that just placed in the water at Boston are the only vessels of the kind in the world. The Boston boat will carry twenty-five or thirty torpedoes of the most approved plan, each weighing about 300 pounds, and each calculated to be capable of de- stroying any nan-of-war. The tor pedoes are to be attached, one at time, to an iron shaft, running out. forward, and can be, exploded at any moment. The difficulty in arranging a torpedo boat so as to insure the destruction of an eDemy's vessel, without injuring the boat, has been overcomea it being dis covered that the radius of the circle of immediate effect of Q torpedo with 8 one hundred pound charge is about fourteen feet, it only requires that the shaft to which the torpedo is affixed shall extend that distance beyond the prov of the boat to insure the desired result. All other difficulties having been already met, the success of this new method of naval warfare is regard ed as assured.

A singular compliment has been paid to policeman by the Town Council of Exeter, England. A short time ago Archbishop Freeman and his daughter were riding in their carriage, when the horse took fright and bolted. Police man Sullocks, at the risk of his life and with great presence of mind, stopped the horse, and the archdeacon and his daughter were saved from serious ac- cident. The archdeacon, sensible of his indebtedness to the policeman,

 wrote to the watch committee of the Town Council in praise of his gallant conduct. The Town Council compi- mented Sullocks, and resolved, with the approval of the chief constable, to hand him over Archdeacon Freeman's letter. Such is paragraph going the rounds of the papers. Is it not delight full? Such magnificent generosity on the part of an archdeacon and Town Council is only too rare. What will the happy policeman do with the archi-

 diaconal letter, is now the question.

 Have it framed, it is supposed, that future generations of Sullocks yet un- born may gaze upon it with proper pride. t .-....r .....-...,., -. .s:..

A great deal of labor and hard tug. ging may be saved if every wagon or truck is provided with 100 feet of stout rope and single pulley. A snatch block is the best arranged with strong hook, and the usual construction for slipping the tight of the rope under the strap to the sheave instead of wait ing to reeve the line through on end. If wagon gets stuck in heavy mud or in the snow, the driver has only to fasten his block to the tongue, reeve the rope through it, and attach one end to tree or post and let his team pull on the other. Their work is of course just halved, or rather they bring twice as much power to bear in dragging the wagon clear. There are plenty of other applications of this simple device, which will readily suggest themselves. With couple of skids for an inclined plane, heavy logs could be drawn on g sleigh by the unhitched team. Another case where it is likely to ke useful is when loaded sleighs attempt to cross a bridge. Although the horses draw the load very easily over the snow, they are often unable to start it over the generally denuded wooden flooring of the bridge, and hence 1t would be ma terially aided by the tackle hitched on as we have described. -Sctenttfe American. --

Charles Wilson, late Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers, publishes letter in the papers denounclng the action taken by the con vention held at Cleveland, in not per mitting him to make defense, but con- demning and compelling his immediate resignation because he opposed the striking policy.

Railroad officials who have always treated the men kindly were denounced in no mild terms by the convention. He concludes as fol- lows: "Before the strike the brother hood received the cordial support of thousands of the best men in Canada and the United States, but now all is changed.

No declaration of good intentions will now avail any thing after such fragrant violations of all previous rules and promises. Sin cerely regretting the condition our once-powerful organization is placed in, and not being willing to share the responsibility of a final disgrace and failure, I have applied to my division for 8 final withdrawal. I am aware that there are large number of di- visions that do not approve of the strike, or of any change in the policy of the organization. To my mind, there is only one way that a division or member can save their honor, and that is to withdraw from the demoralized brotherhood and organize new society that will have for its guide, first and last. justice and honor,"

In an article of some of the noted men of a past generation Francis Jacoz says "Dr. Darwin, the grandfather of the great living naturalist, was a strange compound of science and eccen- tricity. He wrote most of his works on scraps of paper with a pencil, as he travelled. His equipage was as odd as his habits. He rode in an old 'sulky,

 with skylight at top, and an awning which could be drawn over it in case of need. The front of the carriage con. tained box for writing paper and pen. oils, knife and fork, and spoon. On one side was huge pile of books. On the other, hamper of fruit and sweet. meats, cream and sugar, which divided the attention of the burly old doctor with the stack of literature. .''~ 'v
