The crop returns for 18S0 show that Ire land, Switzerland, Sweden and Nor way raised less than a bushel to each inhabitant, whereas the minimum consumption averages 3 buBhels. Austria, Portugal, Denmark and the Netherlands raised less than 2 bush els per capita. Great Britain, Greece, Russia and German raised less than 3 bushels per capita, Servia's yield fell under 4 bushels, while Turkey, Belgium and Boumania had les3 than 3 bushels. Italy raised nearly 6 bushels, Spain and France less than 8 and Hungary over 9 bushels. The average for Europe as a whole was not quite 3 bushels per capita, while in the United States the yield was over G bushels per capita. Russia is America's greatest competitor in the English wheat trade, and yet in 18S0 Bussia produced only 2.1 bushels per capita, while the United Stales pro duced 9.2 bushels per capita. The acreage in wheat in this country has nearly doubled in Iho past ten years. It is estimated that there was 38,500, 000 acres under wheat cultivation in theUnitcd States in 1SS-1, and that the crop was about 513,000,000 bushels of 37 to 60 lbs each. Calling the popu lation of the country 55,000,000, this is equal to fl1- bushels for each man, woman and child, or at least four bushels per capita above the home consumption. The figures show that America leads all other countries in the volume of the wheat trade, and it is doubtful if the maximum yield has yet been reached. The low prices of last year will probably show a less ened crop this year. HOW GIIAXT SAVED ARREST. LEE FROM An interesting story of. Gen. Grant's magnanimity at the close o the war, and Lis keen sense of honor, comes to the Philadelphia Times from its New York correspondent. Tho war was over, Gen. Lee and his half starved confederates had "returned to their desolated homes on their parole of honor. Tho victorious armies, un der Grant and Sherman, were en camped, in and around Washington, and Jeff Davis was in Fortress Mon roe. Gens. Grant and Rawlins were playing a game of billiards in tho national hotel, and two civilians were indulging in that pastime on an opposite table. A major entered the room in a hurry, and whispered to Grant. The latter laid hi3 cue on the table, saying, "Eawlins, don't disturb the balLs until I return," and hurried out. One of tho civilians said to the ether: "Pay for the game and hurry out. There is something up." In front of the hotel stood a mounted sentinel. Grant ordered the soldier to dismount, and spring ing into the saddle, rode up tho ave nue so fast as to attract attention. The first civilian questioned the soldier as to the cause, but was an swered with the surprise of one who knew nothing. On being told of the general's break-neck ride, it was de cided to go to the war department and learn the cause, if possible. Col. Barroll of the second regular infant ry, was disbursing officer in the quartermaster's department, and to the colonel one of the civilians went for information. Asking him if he knew tho reason of Gen. Grant's hasty action, and if he had seen the hero of the hour around tho depart ment, Col. Barroll answered, "Yes," but was surprised at anybody's knowledge of the event. When told of what transpired the colonel said: ''Well, as you are aware of the com ing of Gen. Grant I will, tell you all about it, provided you promise not to repeat it. "Secretary Stanton sent for me in reference to tho execution of certain orders, and while listening to his in structions Gen. Grant came in. The secretary greeted the general with a pleasant 'good morning,' which the ratter returned, and said, 'Mr secre tary, I understand that you have is sued orders for the arrest of Gen. Leo and others, nnd I desire to know if such orders have been placed in the hands of any officer for execution.' ," 1 have issued writs for the arrest of all the prominent rebels, and offi cers will be dispa.tched on the mis sion soon,' replied the secretary. "Gen. Grant appeared cool though laboring under mental excitement, and quickly said: '"Mr. secretary, when Gen. Lee surrendered to mo at Appomattox I gave him my word ofhonor that nei ther he nor any of his followers would be disturbed so long as they obeyed their parole of honor. I have learned nothing to cause me to be- lievo that any of my lato adversaries have broken their promises and have come here to make you aware of that fact, and would also suggest that those orders be cancelled.' "Secretary Stanton became terribly angry, and said: " 'Gen. Grant, are you aware whom youare talking to? I am the secre tary of war.' Quick as a flash Grant answered back: 'And I am Gen. Grant. Issue those orders at your peril.' Then turning on his heel, Grant walked out as unconcerned as if nothing had happened. "It is needless to say,' continued Col. Barroll, "that neither Lee nor any of his soldiers were arrested. I was dismissed from the presence of the secretary with the remark that my services in connection with the arrest of the leading rebels would be dis pensed with until he took time. to con sider, and I now await the result of his decision." Like some cases in law, that de cision of the great war secretary was reserved for all time, but whether the game of billiards was evpr played to an end has never been definitely known. It will probably be necessary for the president to make good his offi cial word that "all the power of the government will be used to carry into execution" the order withdrawing tho Winnebago repervation from t-cttle-ment. Among the 3,000 or mote hon est, law-abiding people who have set tled upon the reserved portions of the reservation are a go d many union soldiers. They will not fire upon the flag they fought for, but they will only leave the reservation and abandon their vested "right at the point of tho bayonet directed to be used against them by a Demo cratic president. The people of Da kota see in this question a principle that is broader than the Winnebago reservation. They believe they know the settlers to be right, and will give them their moral support in resisting tho order of President Cleveland up to the point of actual conflict of arms. It will be a strange spectacle, the employment of United States troops to drive ofT ox-union soldiers nnd others from the lands given to them by act of the last Republican admin istration. In pursuance of a plan adopted by tho veterans of the late war to visit each spring some celebrated battle field of the union, the pilgrimage this season "will be made to Gettysburg,May 4th and 5th. The Gettysburg meeting will not only bo largely attended, but highly valuable from a historical point of view. It will bring together numbers of the most distinguished men of the land. The president, with tho cabinet, war governors and pres ent governors of the states, and dis tinguished officers and soldiers of both armies, and prominent in civil life, will be there. Gov. Moody, has a good record and for this reason, if for no other, should do nothing to mar its efficiency. If he call a special session of the leg islature he will mako a mistake, a mistake that will be extravagant to the state, hurtful to his party and produc tive of nothing but ill will. Better appoint, and trust to the futnre to correct tho follies of the past. A Detroit officer, who was a promi nent Fenian raider in 18GS, says that 12,000 Fenians have already enlisted, secretly for a raid into Canada, 3,000 of whom are in Detroit It is going to cost Canada S1.000, 000 to suppress Kiel's revolt, which might have been prevented by the ex penditure of $100,000 in satisfying the just claims of the settlers.
