Not that he fears the markot will grow worse, liut whether he bhall not soli upon the first advance. The Hperu lutors in wheat are filling his ears with tho distressed state of the market abroad, the probability of a further de cline, the immense surplus on tlm other Hide of the Rocky mountains and iu Europe, and yet the present price leaves him so small a margin of profit Hint J a hesitates to dispose of it. In order to answer the inquiries sent us with somo facts upon' which a fair judg ment might le founded, we called upon Mr. Montpelier, the manager of the Granger's hank. As is well known, the Grangers' hank is tho creature of some of the most prominent menilirs of the Grange practical farmers, who desired to carry the co operativo prin ciples of the Grange into (he money circles of the country. It has heen, since its organization, the balance wheel of the machinery of grain production in this State. The paNt year, hy (he circumstance of general business de pression, it had an opportunity to fully develop its power and the purpose of its origin, for, to steady tlm decline in wheat, it distributed nearly $3,000,000 among the farmers, preventing the crowding of the market ly the needy holders. Wo found the manager in the midst of his maps of the wheat-growing world, and about him carefully pre pared data obtained by daily communi cation with every commercial center from San Francisco to India. He very cordially invited us to examine the facts in his possession and the conclu sions presented by the statistical tables prepared by himself. We can only summarize the details he so fully gave, which begins with the shortage of wheat this year as com pared with last in America of 140, 000,000 bushels. East of the Rocky mountains his comparative tables show that all that can bo had for export is the reserve of last year, the short crop of this year being required for home consumption. This reserve amounts to 70,000,000 bushels. The annual consumption of the United Kingdom of Great Ilritain is 27,000,000 quar ters; divide by four and the number of tons is given. The crops of Groat Britain this year, according to the most reliable economists, will amount to 9,000,000 quarters, leaving the balunce, 18,000,000 quarters, to be imported. The short crop of France demands an importation of 4,000,000 quarters. Austria and Austria-Hungary have a surplus of wheat, but the rye crop has been a partial failure, and the loas of rye bread will need to be repaired with wheat, no exhausting tho surplus of wheat in that district. India is the next of the great feeders of the non producing nations, The export of wheat of India since 1880 has boon between 700,000 anl 900,000 tons, making an average of 800,000 tons, showing no increase since that time, but on the contrary has been less than the average of the last two years. Recent intelligence is that a famine has been threatened in that part of In dia where 3,000,000 of people died of starvation, caused by the drought of five years ago, and that tho overflow of the Ganges has inundated the rico and grain producing districts adjacent to Calcutta. Since the last great drought connection has been made by rail with the southern portion of India, so that it is possible to savo the population tlieru with the product of the moru fortunate sections of the country. It is not f resumed that England will, at this time of danger to her Indian pos serious, permit her subjects to suffer, and to avoid it will be obliged to drew upon tho greater parL of the annual export of that patt of her kingdom. India has a population of 22.1,000,000, 190,000,000 of whom are under Itrit ish rule, and all of whom are bread eaters, With one third .the area it has five times the population of the United States. From California in August and Sep tember of the last year sixty-eight ves sels cleared with wheat, while this year up to this time in September but ten cargoes have been shipped. Taking these general ftcts from the mass of details tabulated by Mr. Montpelier, the farmer should he ablo to exercise a pair judgment upon the disposition of his wheat. We give them in an ir regular way, because they will be just an striking in this form as any to the mind of a farmer, who wou'd never be patient enough to expend the labor of examination devoted to them by our informant, even if he had the ability. Such general facts would seem to con vince any mind, given to the most mod erate calculations, that tlm rt ln.ttt mar ket, however gradual in its movements, must tend upward. ItVould have been a great satisfac tion to have obtained a prediction as to the near future of the market, from one who bears no speculative relations to the wheat product, but Mr. Mont pelier would only say, that with this array of facts, and to-day's report from Europe of tho increasing firmness of the market, he should be surprised if wheat did not advance some dollars per ton before the 1st of January. Mm. Granl'i Income. Notwithstanding the financial diffi culties that cut short the career, of General Grant, and which were brought about by his connection with the firm of Grant Si Ward, his widow is left in very comfortable circumstances. Mrs. Grant will have the income of the fund of $250,000 raised by the pro prietor of the New York Times, which was invested five years afo for the uso of the General, and which was beyond his reach in life and is beyond the reach of his creditors now. The in come for General Grant's book is un derstood to be secured as the exclusiye property of Mrs. Grant, and will be subject to her own control and use. A leading Southern Senator has already drawn up a bill to introduce in the next session giving Mrs. Grant the $5000 pension per year granted to the wives of deceased Presidents. The profits from the soldier's autobiography as estimated will be 300,000, and not less than $250,000. All these sums certainly . ought to place Mrs. Grant beyond the reach of the caprice of fortune. The widow of the "hero of Apponmtlox" will be in far better cir cumstances than any of the widows of our past Presidents, not even excepting Mrs. Garfield. The widow of Presi dent Tyler has no income but the $5000 annuity granted her by Con gress. Mrs. James K. Polk has her Nashvillle home, besides a small in come brought by interest on Tennessee bonds, which that State in its insol vency has never defaulted, in addition to her $5000 per year pension. Mrs. Gartiold has her beautiful Mentor home and a tesidence in Cleveland, Ohio, tho $5000 annuity and the income from the $300,000 fund contributed soon after her husband's sad demis?. Stand ard. . . .. ' M. J. Haley, special timber agent for the government, has sent in a ro port to the effect that the Northern Pacific railroad company and tho Mon tana Improvement company havo cut from the publio domain 45,000,000 feet of lumber and brigde timber, 81,744 railroad ties, 15,400,000 shin gles, 132,035 cords of wood end 200 000 cedar posts, amounting in valuo to $C13,402, and these figures do not represent all the depredations, but on ly such'as he was ablo to get He pronounces the Montana Improvement company an unscrupulous corporation. Twenty four Portland men are said to be worth in the aggregate $25,000, 000, each of whom is worth over $700; 000; and none of whom pays taxes on over about $300,000. It is a fact that there are men in Portland who have spent $100,000 on their resi dences alone who do not pay taxes on that amount.

She pays 303,7d0 annually to her king and his household, and in annual interest of $13,151,160 on her publio debt. She has about 16u0 miles of dikes on her seacoasts and water courses and the the annual cost of keeping these dikes in repair is aliout $2,000,000. These dikes are immense embankment, from from ten to twenty -five high and as many feet broad, thrown up on the seaooants and water-courses to prevent the inundation of the entire country. On the water side they are protected by stone or timber lining, and on the land side they are covered with beautiful, green sod, hushes, mostly willows, largely used in their construe tion and frequently by trees, and in many instances there are fine, shady roadways on the tops of these dike When you stand on the land side of some of these dikes, you can hear the waves of the sea beating against the other side from five to fifteen feet above your head. The entire kingdom of Holland i's also interlaced and inter sected by thousands of miles of canals. Wlllllim flit. The brilliant life and Bad death of William Pitt, England's great Prime Minister, seem a satire upon personal a.ubitinn and popular gratitude, He was Chancellor of the Exchequer when but 23 years of age, and for 18 years ruled Great Ilritain. The contrast of the brilliant beginning of his publio life with its somber ending is painful to read. Pitt died at his house, Putney ! Heath, and in a very neglected state, none of his family or friends being ! with him at the" time. One who was ; sincerely attafchrd to him, hearing of his illness, rode from London to see him. Arriving at his house, he rang tho bell at the entrance gate, but no one came. Dismounting, he found i-his way to the hall door,' and repeatedly : rang the 111, which no one answered He then entered the house, wandered ' from room to room, till at last he dis covered Pitt'on a bed, dead, entirely neglected. It is supposed that such j was his poverty ho had not been able 1 to pay the wages of his servants, and j that they had absconded, taking with , them what they could. , Much complaint is heard because Mr. Adlai E. Stephenson, the First; Assistant Postmaster General, was a)- sont from Washington a week on a visit in Illinois. It is urged that dur ing the time he was away only 1 00 fourth-class postmasters were removed, and it he had remained at his desk tho nuraW would have been increased to 500. Cut Slcphenson is buck now, and has resumed operations at the old stand. The fact of the business, is that the country cannot gel along very well without Stephen-' son, and when he goes otf on r . little trip you bet the Democrats mis: him. The administration can get along very well without some of ils officia's but Stephenson is not one of them He is dear to tho Democratic heart and they want him to take no mor trips not even for a day. In 1884 27 per cent, of the legn voters of tho U. S. did not go to th polls, the greatest percentage of no, ' Voters being 62 percent in Rhode L-lan . aud North Carolina, and at least 7 pe 1 cent in Indiana.
