John Griffin Carlisle, Speaker of tlie
House, -was born in Campbell county,
Ky., September 5, 1835. He has
already achieved a remarkable reputa
tion for great ability as a statesman and
absolute impartiality as Speaker.
"We are likely to have cheap beef as
well as cheap bread during the present
year, desjrite the croaking based on tho
alledged great destruction of cattle in
the west by the severe weather of tho
past winter. A careful servey of the
beef producing fields -leads an experi
enced cattle man to tho belief that the
prospect is very fine, and that we will
have a larger and better supply than
for ten years past.
The late disasters on the ocean have
had an effect on foreign travel. Many
people countermanded orders for state
rooms after the loss of the Florida.
Tho tightness of money, the anticipa
tion of further trouble in Wall Street,
and the presidential election have kept
many people at home. People who did
go abroad are returning much earlier
than usual, and agents attribute that to
Wall street also. Travel in the United
States, however, is on the increase.
Many who used to go to Europe now go
the other way and take in Mexico, Al
aska, Oregon, Colorado.
According to the report of Consul
Tanner, our exports of butter to England
fell from 28,000 tons in 1880 to 2,500
tons in 1882. He ascribes this princi
pally to the attacks made on the Amer
ican provision trade when a German
oxcluded our hog products, and which
attacks materially affected every inter
est we have in the provision supply for
export He predicts that America will
eventually regain the trade by supplying
a better quality of products than any
other country can furnish. This is a
hint, to the oleomargarine makors to
brand their goods honestly and let the
dairies make the butter.
The first crop report of the Miller's
National association is complied from
reports sent by over three thousaiul
eorreRpondeuts in various parts of the
country to inquiries made by the secre
tary of the association. From all (Quar
ters the most flattering accounts of the
condition of both winter and spring
wheat come, but tlie aggregate reports
disclose a scarcity of wheat in the
country that had not been
dreamed of. They show that in
every section the mills are short of
wheat, instead of having a surplus stock
as in former years, and that in three
sections the mills will require all that
is raised this year, no matter how large
the crop may be. Probably never be
fore has there been such a general
scarcity of wheat at milling points. This
scarcity among tho millers will go tow
ard reducing the export surplus of this
year's crop, even if it should be tho
largest one known.
According to a statement -made by
Gen. Grant's sons, Fred and Jesse, it
appears they have made way with a
neat amount of other folks' money.
The liabilities are set down at $2,215,
OGG, with assets nominally worth $1,990,
013. Among tho preferred creditors in
the Grant family are Mrs. Cramer
(Gen. Grant's sister,) for $73,000 Mrs.
Honoro, $10,000 Mvs. Corbie, $25,000
and Mrs. Fred Grant, $6,000. The ai
is full of charges against Gen. Grant
anil family, but whatever may be prov
en trft^as regards his foolish boys, tlie
public will bo slow to credit anything
actually dishonorable of the ex-Presi
dent. liifce many other people he has
been drawn into unwiso business enter
prises which he never would have'
touched had his foresight been as good
as his hindsight. His eagerness for
gain is a poor subject for criticism,
though .he is not singular even in that
respect.
Col. Fred Grant, feeling that opeb
confession is good for the soul, frankly
admits that he was a fool to go into
partnership with Ward, and he adds
that liis father, brothers and other rel
atives bear a family likeness of folly for
permitting themselves to be made the
prey of such a scamp. There will be
many who will be disposed to accept
the young man's estimate of the business
sagacity of himself and the Grant family.
Their genius very plainly does not lie
that way. General Grant himself for
nislies the most striking illustration of
the lion and the lamb lying down to
gether. On the battle-field the stern
warrior was leonine enough, but in Wall
Street he has shown himself to be the
simplest hearted and the most thorough
ly shorn lamb that ever ventured into
the stamping groond of the bulls and
bears. And it will be well if he finally
escapes with tt soiled reputation.

Newton Edmunds, P.C. Shannon and
James H. Teller, members of the Sioux
Indian commission, returned from their
official trip to the Sisseton reservation,
whither they went to arrange with the
Sisseton Indians for the sale of a por
tion of their lands. The commission
told the Indians briefly what they were
instructed to do, viz., to arrange with
them a plan by which tho Indians could
Sell the greater part of the million acres
owned by them at not less than $2.50
per acre. It is estimated that the lands
would bring at least $2,000,000, which
at 5 per cent would yield $100,000 per
year, thore by making a cash annuity
of nearly $500 for each family of six
persons. In reply to the commission
the Indians said they had fully consid
ered the proposition, and they did not
care at this time to sell the lands. Tha
Indians expected a parley, and were
doubtless surprised when the commis
sioner left them with the remark that
when they got raady to sell they would
come back and talk with them. While
this is discouraging news to those who
would like to buy these valuable lands,
the Indians will probably communicate
-witli the commissioners before long. .*.
