THE RAPID Exronr OF WHAT.
during the past eight weeks shows clearly
that Europ'é’ has been eager to get her sup-
plies fromehere, and this accounts for the
large receipts of gold. There have been
exported from the Atlantic seaboard cities
iii- Eurbpe during that period 37,224,760
bushels in wheat, and 2,561,632 bushels in
flour, making a total of 40,086,292 bushels,
and from the Pacific coast about 2,800,000
bushels. At this rate the surplus would all
be drawn upoh in about twenty weeks lon—
ger, and the price must then rapidly ad
vance. Already the market rate hasrisen
here about 12 cents per bushel, notwith—
' standing-the fact that there have been re—
ceived during the same period at the Atlan—
' ~t'iii3poris from the interior about 50,000,000
{bushels in wheat and flour, leaving the sup—
ply" on hand 10,000,000 bushels in excess of
the'exporls. It is, however,said that the ex—
ports Of-breadstufis have been too rapid, and
that Europe is receiving faster than can be
paid for. Already the ' .

is exciting attention, and European countries
will perhaps stop the drain if it continues ;
for the balance of trade being in the United
States, the wheat has to be paid for with
gold. This will, after a while, check the
demand for wheat, which will however, be
kept moving steadily to the seaboard.
Should the what supply give out, the
ccuntryis rich with corn, for which there
must be also a large demand in Europe,
where it is known as maize, tor feeding
purposes. From all sources it has been
ascertained that the United States has this
year the
LARGEST CROP or CORN EVER xxow. .
The aggregate is estimated at about 1,—
500,000,000 bushels, and as the average Eur.
opean demand has been from 75,000,000 to
90,000,000 bushels it is believed that from
125,000,000 to 150,000,000 will be-required
for export this year. But if theEuropean de-
mand should be for double this amount, it
could be supplied from this country without
the loss being in any way f&. The failure
of the root and other feeding crops in
Euiope must necessarily cause a demand
here for corn, and preparations are being
made at the seaboard to supply it promptly.

DJ BACON’S VIEWS OF THE CHARTER AND BY-
LAWS.
Certain questions relating to the new
charter and practical working of the Con-
necticut Bible Society, addressed to Dr.
Bacon elicited the following reply:
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 28, 1878.
Dear Sir—Responding to your inquiry I
have no hesitation in saying :-- .
First—In my judgment the organization
of the Connecticut Bible Society under its
present charter, affords the contributors
every practicable security for a. faithful and
judicious administration of the trust which it
undertakes.
Second—The auxiliary relation of our so-
ciety to the American Bible society remains
and should remain.' Ithnk that the income
of the Connecticut Bible Society may be, and
ought to be sufficient not only for the work
in this state, but also for a generous partici~
pation in the national and extra national work
of the American Bible Society.
Third—Local work is more likely to be
well done when it is conducted‘underlocal
superintendence, and paid for by local con-
tributions, than when it is done under a
distant and metropolitan superintendence,
and paid for out of a. central treasury. On
this principle, if I understand laright, the
American Bible Society remits to itsaux-
iliaries,as much as possible for the local work.
Fourth—I believe that the method of Bible
distribution which our Connecticut Bible
Society has been prosecuting for some time
past is eminently effective to promote what
we in Connecticut have learned to call home
evangelization; for these reasons :—
(a) In whatever town or district the work
is undertaken, , the moral and religious con-
dition of the community is thoroughly ex-
plored, not in behalf of any eccleisastieal 'or
denominational organization, but simply in
behalf of the Bible. The information acquir-
ed concerning families and individuals need-
ing pastoral care is helpful to the ministers
of all denominations, Protestant or Roman
Catholic, who are now engaged in pasforal
work.
(1)) The Bible distributor calls not only‘
for pecuniary contributions from the locali-
ty, but also for personal aid in canvassing
and distributing. Thus this work is doubly
effective. ' ‘ ‘
(6) While the distributor sells of. Bible
Society prices, or gives, in cases of necessity,
copies of what is called in England “the
authorized version,” he is also permitted to
sell, at booksellers’ prices, copies of the trans-
lation preferred by Roman Catholics. Thus
I not unfrequent occasion of Ofl’ense ‘ is'
avoided, and Roman Catholics find that
their. conscientious preference is respected by
their Protestant neighbors. . .

persistently breaks the one and emerges
from the other with such invariably fatal ef-
fect to himself and his friends.- Like the
tramp bound to Omaha, he is kicked at every
appearance; and like the same tramp, he
seems bent on reaching a place in history,
“if the seat Of his trousers only holds out.”
His latest public appearance is in the let—
ter to the editor of a Mississippi paper,which
wfirecently published in the TRIBUNE.
Therein he declines, at great and unnecessary
length, to be a candidate before the Missis-
sippi Legislature for United States Senator
from that State.
that it is by no means probable that Congress
gill remove his political disabilities, “and thus
spare our State the affront of denying to our
State the right to choose her own represen-
tative”. He then proceeds to say that “the
vital issue before the country is the con—
test between State Rights aud Consolida—
tion ;” and in further definition of the issue
to declare that “it was for Self-government
that the States declared their independence
and‘fought until they were severally ac-
knowledged to be free and independent na-
tions."' All other political questions he
considers subordinate to this,and he expresses
great confidence, that the principles he has
laid down will sooner or later be vindicated.
To hasten this consummation he hopes some -
one will be selected “who has no political
He begins by the statement
sabilitics to obstruct his admittance to the
Senate, and against whom there are no bitter
prejudices to impair his usefulness.” In
her words, the object of the Democratic
party of Mississippi is to hasten the vindica—
tion of the principles which they failed to
establish by rebellion, chief which is that the
States are “free and independent nations.”
And that simply as a matter of policy it
would be better to select some one for Sena -
tor who will be admitted to the Senate, and
whom usefulness is not impaired. — All very
true, no doubt, but an avowal not calculated
to bring much strength to the party at the ‘
North, where they are strenuously insisting
that the State Rights issue is a bugbear, and
that under no circumstances can the issues of .
the war be revived, If this does not look
like a revival of the vital question upon
which the war was fought, we should like to
know what would ?
And so Mr. Jefferson Davis considers that
the State of Mississippi is afironted because
the Congress Of the United States has not re-
moved his disabilities, so that Mississippi can
elect him to the Senate to hasten the consum—
mation he names, to Wit, the vindication of
the principle of State Rights,which the United
States Government lately at some cost put
down. Affronted! Was there ever such cool
assurance ? It is possible that this man has for-
gotten his own history as well as the history
his State? Why, it is less than twenty
years since he, a Senator—holding then the
office he whines about to—day—forswore his
allegiance, threw down his office, and went
out to lead a bloody rebellion; and for five
years neither'he nor his State was heard
from except across hostile lines, through the
mouths of cannon and muzzlcs of musketry,
and the thin, pinched lips of the boys they
rvcd and sent back to us. Not twenty
years since his State rebelled and he stalked
out of the Senate.
State was brought back and he was in prison
And not fifteen since his
treason. And here he comes up whining
that his State has been affronted, because
Congress, in addition to granting him the life
forfeited and the freedom he abuses, has
not removed all his disabilities and made him
eligible to the seat in the Senate which he
thinks Mississippi wants him to fill.

over the plains in‘ COlorado, Nebraska and
Wyoming, the herds roam, and the ranchcros
ride. Between Denver and Julesburg, on
the Union Pacific Railroad, lay the immense
range of the late Mr. Aylific, one side of
which was fifty miles in length. He is said
to have begun fifteen years ago with a capital
f $100, and his estate is valued at $1,500,
00. It was interesting and instructive to
ear how one Of his friends accounted for
this unusual success: “SOme people try to
ttcud to several things, or to do more than
a
one kind of business, but he Only thought of
o
no thing for those lift ecn years, and that one
thing was cattle. 'And attending only to
that, and working at it and thinking about it
all the timc,hc came to understand it wonder-
fully well, and to have perfect judgmept
about making the most of stock." .
A disseitition on the cattle herds of the
Great West would occupy a large volumc,and

wisdom of their choice of locatign. To us
It is traversed by railroads, ‘and accessible
on all sides; and the climate is most salubri-
ous, and so mild in winter that the stock can
remain on the range throughout the year.
Other-things being equal,there are many men‘
who highly prize the grand, ever—present
spectacle and genuine companionship of
“the everlasting hills." No doubt in other
regions land can be had more cheaply, and
sometimes occupied without fee or reward,
but there are sure to be counterbalancing
disadvantages. ‘ '
Above a certain latitude, and notably in
Wyoming, great losses have occurrcdf from
severe winters, and not very far to the north
the “Lo family” (as [lib noble red man—“Lo
the poor Indian”—is called on the plains)
come in to disturb and molest. All admirers
and advoctes of these hyperborean regions
have ample opportunities to rise and explain;
be ours the pleasant task, reclining under the
spreading cottonwood. and in the shadow of
the Sierra Mojada, of singing the. eclogues of
the valleys of the San Carlos and the Huer—
fano, for 'it is “not that we love Caesar less,
but Rome more.”
We have said that water was the prime
requisite, and the banks of streams are con-
sequently first sought. Government land is
divided into sections of 640 acres (a mile
each way), and quarter sections of 160 acres.
What more simple and easy, we hear some
one ask, than to take up four quarter sections
in a line along the stream, and while we
only own, strictly speaking, a quarter of a
mile in width, to occupy, without let or
hinderance, away back to the divide (ridge
between that valley and the ne xt), being sure
that no one will have either the motive or the
will to dispute with us the posseaion of this
ariad area ? Nothing, certainly. except that a
number of able—bodied citizens besides your-
self have not only conceived this same idea,
but acted promptly on it, and that, in cmse—
quence, the supply of water frontage may be
found inadequate to meet the demand, and
its market value consequently and propor—
tionately increases. There are always, how-
ever, ranchmcn willing to sell, for one reason
or another, and no one need despair of
obtaining a good location at a fair rate, with
improvements ready made. Then he can buy
.his stock, mainly, if he be wise, on the spot
and in the neighborhood; for, with the great
improvement now taking place in breeds, it
is no longer desirable to buy largely. in
Texas. Then come’ his “cow—boys,” or
borders, not Mexicans, as in old times, but
generally stalwart Americans, quick of hand
and deliberate of speech. They are' provided
with swift and sure—footed horses, generally,
in these days, of the broneho type-a mixture
of the American horse and the mustang.
It may now fairly be asked, where else in
the world. and in what other knowp way,can
a man sit down and see his possessions in—
crease before his eyes with so little exertion
involved on his part? With the dawn the cat-
tlc are all grazing. Thin and gray enough
the grass looks to the inexperienced eye, but
the ranchero well knows the tufts of buffalo
and gramma growth, gauges the value of this
feed as compared, in the matter of nutriment,
with the richest greensward Of apparently
more fertile regions, and remembers that it
grows afresh twice a year. Then, with the
utmost regularity, and some time before
noon, the whole herd—the splendid bulls,the
plump steers,the red and white and roan and
mottled cows—take their accustomed 'tfail,
and seek the water with unerring certainty.
Then back to the grazing again, and feed

The portrait of Zachariah Chandler as"
drawn by his enemies, many of which he had,
would be a gross caricature. So unspnring a-
critic, so good a hater, and so formidable an
antagonist as Senator Chandler was must
needs have aroused bitter animosities which
survive him. As the rebels and their sym—
pathizers, in the early days of the war, found
great comfort in portraying the domestic life
Of the White House as a species Of vulgar
saturnalia, so their legitimate successors in
later years have delighted to figure Zachariah
Chandler as a course, illiterate person, ad—
dicted to habits which rendered it impossible l
to respect him and used to all the low arts of
a political demagoguc. It. is only necessary
to remind the impartial student of contem—
poraneous history that all such sketches of
Mr. Chandler are drawn by men whose
hatred of him was only equal to their dread
of his prowess. Indifferent ashe was to the
antagonisms which an active political career
must engender, he could not fail of being
extravagantly misrepresented. So it comes
to pass that he, a well educated, -urbane and
highly attractive man, generous in his deal-
ings, honest beyond all suspicion, and dis—
dainful of baseness, has been depicted by his
enemies as a species of American Robes-
pierre, without Robespierre’s unquestioned
intellectual gifts—New York Tim.

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
131;. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside-plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
cued them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled forits excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.
