It is thought probable that the combined spring and winter., wheat product will, without loss from sprouting, reach 500.0'i0.000 bushels, and that estimates assuming 15 to 20 per cent, more are wild assumptions to reduce the price of wheat in the nands of farmers.

An eastern exchange, edited by on old maid says: "Never whip children jest before going to , retire to rest. Let the father's caress, the mother's kiss, be the last link between the day's pain cr pleasure and the night's sleep. Send the children to bed happy. If there is sorrow, punishment or disgrace, let them meet it in the daytime, and liave hours of play and thought in which to recover happiness. Let the weary feet, the busy brain, rest in bed happy." That's all right, of course, to some ex tent. We used to talk that way before we were a parent We knew a good deal more about children anyhow before we had to grapple with them than we do now. We used to be a greater stickler for moral suasion and love and parental gush than we are now. Our theory now in relation to children is changed from what it was formerly. We maintain now, after several year's study of the primary biped, that there is a style of child that cannot gotosleep at night unless spanked. We have in our mind a little child of the masculine style of architecture, who will lie and sob, and kick the clothes off and T)e mean and restless for two hours if you forget about him, but if you go and turn down the coverlid and fan hie person with an overshoe he will quiet down and be asleep in five minutes. He is not to blame for being the victim to his habit, but he is that way, and he can't help it. He is tied to his spank just as you, gentle reader, are tied to maturer habits. Strange freaks do often grow into confirmed habits that are almost im possible to shake oft Children are often the victims of strange and un natural customs like older people. This child, for instance, did not at first apparently care whether he had his spanking at 8 p. m. or earlier, but later he was so regular in his demand for corporal punishment that you could set your watch by him. He was also so attached to a certain style of arctic overshoe that you couldn't accomplish anything by paddling him with any other style of chastisment Love is a good thiflg. and we often wish that more oS fct'Ead been lifrwagpa' u» ifstttm- ing ottf^past life, but after all there are children who do not yearn for affection naif as much as they do for armed aggression. Of course your conscience smites you at intervals when you go past the litle bed after the conflict is over and peace and slumber are the victors. Something may "come up in your throat when you see the little rebel lying with his feet on the pillow and his head down at the foot of the cot, and a little tear on his eye-lashes. You feel, perhaps, as though it looked like taking an un due advantage for a 200--pound man to catch a six-year old boy when he is un prepared, and paddle him with an over shoe, and yet sometimes it has to be done. We know that in our own case cor poral punishment was resorted to while all the other boys in the family escaped with moral suasion. The result is just what might have been expected. We are the only one of all that promising collection of boys whose promissory notes have gained a world-wide circul ation to-day.

Many persons are made miserable by anxiety to appear in better social posi tions than those in which they actually belong. They are constantly asking, "What will Mrs. Grundy eay?" or liv ing in dread of some mysterious "Mrs. Harris." An am using illustration of this demoralizing ambition to keep up ap pearances was witnessed in Libson some yearo ago by an American family. A Portuguese oflical, whose pay was ( small, lived/ with his family in a flat.' Wife, sister, and children were as pre tentious as poor. They were dirty, but showy. The wife would go about the house in old and slovenly clothes. But when a fine day invited to a prome nade, she would cover her dirty calico dress with an elegant blue satin cloak, trimmed with ermine, decorate her head with ribbons, her tyair having been dressed by a barber, and walk forth followed by the maids, hired for the occasion at bo much an hour. Every day about dinner time, the table would be set in the parlor with clear damask cloth and napkins, pieces of bread* silver forks and spoons, and handsome wine glasses and goblets; Thus it stood for an hour or more, so that visitors might suppose that the family were in the habit of dining in elegant style. ' But tliey never did sit down to this table. When the honr in whioh the visitors called had pasted, all the fine things were removed and laid away for the exhibition of to-morrow. The family then repaired to the kitchen, seating themselves on the floor, around a huge earthen pan filled with a stew, each one dipped therein a spoon and thns they dined. This family, like many in this coun try, had not discovered that the secret of happiness is to be content with the little one has. Some clever Frenchman has invented an artificial celery, which haa created a great sensation, especially as he refused to divulge ite manufacture.

Richard W. Thompson, and N. P. Rich mond prinalpal Secretary. The report was unanimously adopted. John Ovexmeyer, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, then read the following plat form and resolutions, which were unanimously ^T^Republican party of Indiana, represented in delegate convention, recalls as an incentive to future exertions for the public welfare the achievements of the party in restoring tne na tional Union ; in overthrowing slavery ; in se curing to disabled soldiers and to the widows and orphans Of those who fell in battle or died from wounds or diseases contracted in the strv- ioe of the Union, laws providing for liberal bounties and pensions; m huiidmg up an un exampled public credit upon t he simple founda tion of an unotiangeable public faith ; in reduc ing the great debt neoessarily incurred for the suppression of tho rebellion one-half, and the interest on the remainder to so low a rate that the national debt is no longer regarded as a burden; in establishing ~ a currency eqnal to any in the world, based upon the con vertibility of greenbacks and national-bank notes into gold or silver at the option of the holders; in increasing the value of agricultural productions and the wages of labor by building up home markets on the policy of reasonable protection to domestic industries; in exalting the value of our natural.zation laws to our foreign-bora citizens by securing to American naturalization everywhere the full rights of American citizenship; in founding American citizenship upon manhood and not upon com plexion, and iu declaring that citizenship and the ballot shall ever go hand in hand; iu main taining and cherishing as a chief safeguard of liberty our system of free schools, supported by a tax imposed upon all property for the educa tion of all children, and in the submission from time to time in respectful obedience to what has been deemed the popular will of amend ments to the national constitution and the constitution of the State. Animated by these recollections, it is Besolted, That, reposing trust in the people, sa the f oundation of power, we demand that the pending amendments to the constitution shall be agreed to and submitted by the next Legislature to the voters of the Stat® for their decision thereon. These amendments were not partisan in their origin and are not so in character, and should not be made so in voting upon them. Rec ognizing the fact tliat the people are divided in sentiment in regard to the propriety of their adoption or rejection, and cherishing the right of private Judgment, we favor the submission of these amendments at a special election, so that there may be an intelligent decision there on, uninfluenced by partisan issues. 2. That we feel it due to the memory of President Garfield to express our sense or the great loss suffered by the nation in his death, and we recall with pride the fact that, springs ing from the humblest condition in life, Lin coln and Garfield rose, step by step, without any help but the force of their ability and vir tues, to the front rank among Americans, and were chosen b> fhe Republican party to bear its banner in its struggles to maintain the suprem acy and glory of the national Union. 8. That the lapse of time cannot efface from the grateful recollection of the Republican party its memory of the brave soldiers, from whatever section or party ranks they may have come, who offered their lives in support of ita policy of restoring and maintaining the Union of the States. 4. That a revenue greatly reduced in amount being all that is now needed to pay the interest on our public debt and the expenses of the Government economically administered, the time has arrivsd for such a reduction of taxes and regulation of the tariff dues as shall raise no more money than shall be necessary to pay such interest and expenses, and we therefore appi ove of efforts now making to adjust thi9 re duction so thai no unnecessary burdens upon the consumers of imported articles may exist, and that no injury be inflicted upon our domes tic industries, or upon the industrial classes employed therein. 6. That we are gratified to observe that the laws for the protection of miners and securing their wages, under the constant administration of them by Republican Mine Inspectors, have done much for the comfort of the workers in mines, and that we hope to see the important suggestions of the present Inspector for amendments further to promote their comfort adopted bv Legjalatnre • * between CSplttHtnd labor shouldv be so adjusted that the rights of laborers shall be fully protected. 7. That the fees of all State and county officers should be so regulated as to give a fair compensation to them, but not so great as to tempt applicants to corrupt methods to obtain the same, or to impose unjust burdens upon the people. & That we join with onr Irish feiiow-eiUzenB in Bincere sympathy with the efforts of their brethren in Ireland to break up, by means of just legislation, the large landed estates in that island, and to introduce upon these lands for the general good of the people, peasant propri etorship; and we join with them also in the hope that efforts for home-rule in all matters of local concern will prove successful. 9. That it the duty of Congress to adopt laws to secure a thorough, radfeatand complete reform of the civil service, by which the subor dinate positions of the Government should no longer be considered rewards for party zeal, which will abolish the evils of patronage and establish a system making honesty, efficiency and fidelity the essential qualifications for pub lic positions. 10. That the industry, wisdom and firmness of President Chester A. Arthur meet, the cordial indorsement of the Republicans of Indiana. 11. That Senator Benjamin Hainson, by his able and faithful discharge of duty aud on ac count of his eminent abilities, challenges our admiration and confidence. 12. That Gov. Albert G. Porter is a wise and honest executive officer, and we congratulate the State upon securing the services of so faithful a public servant. 13. Since the last meeting of the Republican Convention of Indiana ex-Senator Henry S. Lane, one of the gifted and ever-honored founders and trusted leaders of the Republican party, has departed this life, and left a void in onr ranks that tills us with eadness. He was eld anent for the right, always moved by the highest impulses of patriotism, and his mem ory is enshrined in ths hearts of the people of the State. After the adoption of the resolutions the Eesent State officers' were unanimously nom-ated as follows : Secretary of State--E. R. H&wn. Auditor of State--E. H. Wolf. Treasurer of Siate--R. J. Hill. Attorney General--D. P. Baldwin. Reporter of Supreme Court--Jonathan A. Gordon. Superintendent of Public Instruction --John M. Bloss. ' A committee from the Woman's Christian Temperance Union were introduced. Mrs. George Merritt, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Helen McGangor addressed the convention in sdvoosoy of the constitutional amendment. ILLINOIS PROHIBITIONISTS. / The Illinois Prohibitionists held a State Con vention at Blooming ton, 160 delegates being present. John B. Finch made a statement that Lieut Gov.

Messrs, Hiscock, Carpeuter and Atkins were appointed a committee to wait on President Arthur, who informed them that he had no further business for Congress. Several ineffectual attempts were made to pass Senate bills. Speaker Keifer returned thanks for gen erous treatment, and the members left hastily for their trains, thewarinegtpt. A skirmish occurred between British troopa nnder Gen. Allison and Arabi's forces a short distance from Ramleh, on the afternoon of the 5th inst The Egyptians vacated their advance posts and retired to their principal intrench- ments, but behaved with steadiness and cool ness. The firing of Nordeufekit guns from the British armored train inflicted severe losses on Arabi's troops. The British loss was four killed and twenty-nine wounded. The prisoners captured reported great discontent in Arabi's camp. At the t-itting of the conference at Con stantinople Lord Dufferin insisted upon the proclamation of Arabi Pasha as a rebel. an<) the Turkish delegates said they would give a , written reply at the next meeting. Dout>ts are 'expressed tm to the genuineness of Turkey's in tentions to dispatch'troops to Egypt Alexandria dispatches of Ang. 8 report that the rebels were intrenching between Aboukir and Ramleh and on the western bank of the Mahmoudieh canal A train-load of rebels went to Mahalla Junction to destroy the rail way, but they were frightened away by a fbrtv-pounder inside tne British lines.

The Khedive announced His intention to indemnify sufferers from the disorders at Alexandria. A London dispatch stated that Gladstone would pay no heed to the protests of De Lesseps regarding the lmJing of troopa at Suez, as they are simply the utteranoes of a private individual Dispatches of the 9th inst state that De Lesseps has telegraphed to Constantinople that the whole of Egypt has embraced the cause of the national party, and that the English will find everywhere a determined opposition. The rebels at Ramleh made a forward move ment but were r«pul«cd by shots from the British iron clad Temeraire. Lord Beresford has l>een promoted to the rank of Captain for services during the bombardment of Alexandria. Tnirty-sevien battalion* of En glish militia have volunteered for service in Egypt Gladstone states that arraugements have been made to prevent the telegraphing of information to Arabi Pasha from Euidand. A cable is being laid from Alexandria to Port Said. News from the seat of war of ths 10th Inst is to the effect that the armored train out of Alexandria, which patrols the track nightly, exchanged a few shots near Wallaha Junction with the second line of rebel intrenebments. The family of Gen. Stone was esoorted from Cairo to Port Said by Arabi Pasha's men, at the reqi^ext of the American Consul.

Mr. Glad stone announced that an indefinite occupation of Egypt was not contemplated. The Turkish Government will at once send 5,000 troops to Egypt to co-operate with tbe British forces. In the mean time England continues to forward troopn to Alexandria, evidently concentrating a formidable army. Some of the feudatory states of India have volunteered to furnish contin gent* for the English army. HI DROPH OBIA. •f it--PaM»t«wr*n VOTING POPULATION AND T0TE8.

Some of these males of lawful age were not naturalized and lienoe incompetent to vote. Among the other causes reducing the popular vote as compared with tfce census of those of voting age were sickness, feebleness and ab sence from p'aco of residence, to which should be added those confined in poor-houses, asylums and prisons.

An agent de change who had in his custody a great number of bonds and other valuable documents belonging to his clientele was robbed of a number of share certificates stolen from the safe in his office. The value of these articles was considerable, amounting to close upon 300,000 francs (£12,000). As in France all scrip is payable au porteur (to bearer), it ia much more easy to dis pose of this sort of property than it would be in England, where a formal transfer has to be made. In the pres ent case, the plundered party did not want to make the affair public for two reasons. In the first place he was con vinced that the robber waa his own son, who had absconded from Paris a day or two before; and, in the second, the fact of his having lost the documents would, in all probability, have greatly injured his credit on the Bourse. He went to the prefecture de police, saw one of the chiefs, and a few }iours later an agent secret was sent to his office. He related his story, saving at the same time that he suspected his son to have been the principal actor in the affair. In return, without a moment's hesitation, he was told the name of a firm in Paris whose chief business was to deal in stolen property of the kind. He was, more over, informed a few hours later that some days previously his son had been seen more than once in the office of this firm; and that it was more than likely the bonds were in their possession. The police agent went to the suspected offioe and, with money advanced him by the plundered man, transacted some stock or share buying and selling. He re turned there again and again, each time doing some business which gave the firm a certain profit. This went on un til he had gained a sort of footing with the suspected parties. He then asked them to purchase for him a few thousand francs' worth of the kind of bonds that his employer had lost. This was done. The numbers on the scrip given him corresponded with those which the agent de change had shown him when he first commenced the inquiry. His work was then plain enough. The head of the firm was accused of having in his possession documents which had been stolen,"knowing them to have been so. By making a clean breast of the matter, and by restoring all he had bought from the son. of the agent de change (for which he had paid about a fourth of their marketable value), he escaped with a year's imprisonment. In England the affair would have been impossible. But the question remains whether it is not better to fight rogues with their own weapons than to allow them from mo tives, which are Correct in themselves, to go scot free. There can be little doubt that, iu the present state of the world, when so many men Jive by prey ing on others, it is very necessary to keep some sort of supervision over scoundrels, or it will be very difficult for honeist people to come by their own.-- Macmillan's Magazine.

"If you desire," said M. Pasteur, "w»> will go down into the cellar where thw animals inoculate! with the rage ara, and you can there soon see for yourself. The visitor descended into the baaa- ment in company with M. Pasteur, with: certain uncomfortable sensations in calves of his legs, fearing a possible en counter with some one of the inoculated: dogs, and he found himself in a largo cellar, into which air and light were poured through great tunnels. Immense- cages ranged round the sides of this, subterreanean apartment, and in each ot these cages was a dog. Here were all sorte of canines, the bulldog, the terrier* the spaniel, the poodle, etc. Over each cage was a placard indicating the day cf the inoculation of each animal. "Up to- this time," said M. Pasteur, "I hav» been able to discover but little ; still, t consider it a first step. Before I began my experiment#? it waa believed that, hydrophobia could be communicated only by the saliva, and people were fre quently astonished at seeing dogs that- had been bitten by mad dogs remain, sometimes all their lives without m»n- ifesting any symptoms of the dreadful' malady. I have discovered the virus of hydrophobia in the brain of the dog, in the spinal marrow, and in the whole of the nervous system generally. One- drop of that virus preserved from contact- with the microbes of the atmosphere and introduced into the brain of a. healthy dbg invariably gives him hy drophobia and he dies oi it withint fifteen days. "Look," said M. Pasteur, " here is an> animal inoculated with the vims about ten days ago. Just put your foot up to> h. , cage." The visitor did so, but with-, fear and trembling. " You see hib licks your foot with every manifestation of affection. In two days he will be dead. He is now in that period of affectionatet manifestation which generally precede* by two or three days the period of vio lence, in whioh he will bite' anything that comes near him. Here is another- one. Just give a kick at his cage. See< how he springs at you. He will die to morrow. Notice his harsh and curious, barking. He is affected with hallucina tions, and no longer recognizes anybody.^ Hs was inoculated just fourteen day* ago, and he will be dead to-morrow. Men have the same symptoms, with this-, exception, that the duration of what may be called the incubation is usually tiiirty or forty days, and that they have a hor ror of water, a phenomenon whioh ig. never seen in the case of dogs. "There are cases on record of men who have not died after being bitten by mad dogs. That wa3 because the saliva- had been subjected to the influence of the atmosphere, and that a kind of strug gle was going on between the microbos- of the virus and the microbes of the cir cumambient air. These latter appear- sometimes to neutralize or modify th^ effect of the virus ; but with the virur: in the pure state, as I extract it from the< brain of one of my dogs here, death in a fixed period is certain, and up to this- time we have found no remedy for this? pitiless affliction. * " Now, I hope, if my life is spared^ that, after many comparisons, and ex periments, I shall finally get a remedy ^ but, before getting to the end of my re searches, must exactly establish the oaS *ganic constitution of the microbes of this virus, for these invisible beings dif fer from each other as a man differ* from a horde, and a horse from an ele phant. They are also subject to divers- influences, and that which diminishes^ the power of some augments the capac ity of others. This accounts for tho rn anner in which I treated the carbon which was slaying thousands of sheep everyday before the invention of my vaccine matter, which is nothing less: than the virus itself reduced, By ex posing the virus to an atmosphere of 40' deg. during a certain time, the microbes- become so feeble that when they were? in the body of an animal they only com municated the very lightest carbon, and. thus forever guaranteed the animal? against the epidemic." A SCIENTIST who has investigated the* chances of the game of "pitch and toss"' with a penny or piece of silver says that, in 10,000 flips there will be 5,000 "heads"' and as many "tails." Sometimes the* " heads" will come out fifteen or twenty ahead, but on the next 10,000 "tails '" will catch up, or vice versa. To this it- is added, however, that if a penny is tossed up a hundred times it will probably come up " heads " fifty times and "tails " fifty times, but if a player- undertakes to call each toss he will not. be right fifty times.
