THE BRINK OF A FA h I C. A ricturespue Statement of l'liu.iclut l'robabllltlc?. //. II*. Grady to the Atlanta Constitution. NEW YOKK, December24. I asked ft prominent Wall street man to day what be thought of thc market. "Ob, tho market will movo along steady until something Imppena." "Until what happens?" "Panic !" bc replied. 1 find a very general uneasiness in fi nancial circles as to the futuro. The black shadow of panic is already darken ing the brightest epoch of our national life. When thc general apprehension shall be realized is uncertain-specula tion as to the coming of tho etona rang ing from one month to twelve. Tho ?imple nud only reason for evil prophcev is that speculation lum outrun actual growth. As marvelous as bas been the expansion and progress value* hove been put a way up above the high water mark. Wail street has discounted the fanner and manufacturer and gone alone on its own hook. A glauco at the stock quotations for the past twelve months will give an idea of thc desperate eagerness with which everything has been inflated. Stocks have doubled mid trebled in value. ???erip dividends have been issued, and the watered stock has moved up to n higher point than tho original ever held. On the liai nrc several leading stock? thel have risen from GO to 70 to over 200, the same basis being taken. We all remem ber that after the enormous speculaii m of last winter and spring when everything boomed and worthless stocks shoved up to par and above, there irita general np prehension tbut the attempt to lineidate thia vast speculation would result in pan ic. And vet thc dull summer months went by-tho "lambs" closed their ac counts and withdrew to rural pasture* and vet stocks continued to goop. The craze was on tho "street" no les? than on the people, nnd everybody looked above thc dizzv heights on which they then stood, tho result is that to-day no see prices from 20 to CO per ccnl. higher than they were even then. A ?id they arc even yet going up. Money is easy mid the way to sp?culation Ls open. There ?? hardly n Rieck on the list that la not cred ited with from 10 to 30 per cent, still further rise by those who arc dealing in it. It is noticeable that they all say : "Ofcourse there will be a break after awhile-but. I think there's a safe 10 or 20 per cent, in this stock lu the next ten days." And so they go on-conscious that they aro marching to a precipice, and yet hurled on by tho fearful facina tion of thc game-picking their way with trembling leel lo the abyss of Ruin I It is one nf the fruits of the gigantic system of speculation fostered by Wall street that tho country can in thc midst of unexampled prosperity be confronted with a panic. Thcro have never been Buch crops-activity, such progress-ns we have had for tho poss three year*. The New York Central Hoad with its four tracks of rail is litterally unable to transport tho freight that is offered it. All tho other roads aro busy and aro working up to their fullest capacity. The country ?H a busy hive, in which thorn ix not a discordant note. Every section re joices. And yet we see paralysis threat ening these mighty energies, nnd min skulking in our by-ways-merely because speculation has gono rioting beyond tho limit of prudence, and the energies of Wallstreet require tba? hero shall bo a tumble in values against which mar gins of profit may bo laid. As to how this break will come-as lo how long the rising pulse of the republic will falter under its influence-eau be>t be judged by a review of the panic ol 7!l. "Jay Gould holds panic in bis clutch to-day," said an observant man to me, "and he can lose it when he willi" What a stupendous figure this little mau irak?s in the world of finance. An insignificant presence, standing live feet four, with small, introverted eye-n tired face ami black lustreless whiskers there is unman in America that lins :; iraclion of his power. The street has never known such an operator as he thc country has never seen such baleful nnd tremendous influence concentrtaed in one human frame. Jay Could bas been thc prime mover in every panic that lias occurred since ho became n leader in the street. Ile was the head-spirit of tbs gold conspiracy thntculminutcd in "Black Friday," having ns his ally that oiled and curled Assyrian bull, Jim Fisk, Tr. This organization has never been cqualLd in audacity and stubboi-nuess. (iould furnished tho cold, devilish will, but lacked physical courage and dash-this. Emperor Jim, with his overflowing vi tality and splendid presence, supplied. It wns the union if tho Jesuit nnd the libertine-of Rodin'and Count Fofon. Tho panic of'73 wns never organized. It was u creeping distrust that shivered beneath tho surface of a brilliant and prosperous epoch. It was thc uneanlncao that always cornea with flush and over whelming prosperity-just BUCII uneasi ness as is now making itseif manifest. There wero no physical signs of it. The gi'annrics woro bursting with garnered harvests-the continent was almost vocal with tho hum of spindles and ibo roar of machinery-immigrants wero peopling the great Wc3t, and new fields wero being opened-tho railroads trembled beneath the ru?b of trains, busied with tho inter change of freights-tho currents of trade and industry swept through tho couutry as the blood through a strong man's veinH -and yet the Bubtlerfpirit of Ruin played in -hoair. One or two old rats ran" to cover. William B.Travers hurried down from Newport aud put out a lino ol'shorts, but even no never dreamed that Jay Gould was then noting with tho eager ness of a vulture tho signs of danger and distrust, and that his merciless fingers wero wenving thc web ofdi&lh and dis grace On the 1st of eoptfcmber, 1873, Jav Oould bad $30,000,000-iq money ftnd waa tiiofi picpaicu to mulinier tho market down-to Bend n chilling lear through all tho list. On thc 5th of September ho appeared In tho exchange and began work. He first attacked crold. .7?<JU,UW,UUO were sold In ono day by himself nr.d hi: associates. Ti;s priv? fell 7 cents, giving Gould an enormous profit. Ho locked up bis profits und his capital and turned his attention to thc list of stocks that bad already weakened from 6 to 15 per cent, in eympathy with his daring raid on gold. Distrust becamo general, small holdem wero shaken out, timid ones sold out, and many strang op erators ranged themselves on tho "bear" side, under Gould's leadership. Western Union was the next object of assault. He sold 40,000 shares short, and down it went, tumbling 10 cents in one hour, clearing Gould a half a million in CO minutes. This nason tho 18th of Sep tember, and by noon Jay Cooko failed Then came riot and ruin. On the next day the steadiest stocks dropped like lead, and the staunchest house collapsed. By 3 P. M. there had been a loss of $100, 000,000 in values since morning,, and . money was worth ? per cent, n dav. G.mld flitted like a vulture through trie black mid sickening scenes, battering mercilessly any stock that showed signs of vitality. The next day the banks sus pended and at 12 tho Stock Exchange closed doora-and the panic had ?tiled upou the country. It seemed impossible to lift prices. Thurn was.money-enough . but no confidence. Tho gove- ornent re issued ?300,000,000 ot gtceubacks. There were four millions of hales of cotton in the South and ono thousand milli .*?* of bushels of wheat in tba' Weat, but thcro was no confidence and everything . logged. Forover8 years there ?asa de pression in everything. Stocks would riee a bit and then fall lower than over oetll ia April, 1877, bed rock waa reach ed. '. St waa then estimated that too shrinkage in the leading st eks in thc street amounted to $200,000,000, und over one thousand millions of railway values had gone iido the hand* ol receiv er*. Thc lowest point was reached in May, 1877, and then began thc upward movement that has perched the old not ks on such dizzy heights. That Jay Gould ha? been feeling thc market for another "break" for the past six months is well known. He hus lost heavily in raiding stocks that had a rise i a them, but has always be</n shrewd enough to draw out before he was badi) damaged. It was rumor? d only ten day? ago that lin had been caught hy Vander bilt in selling Northwest short, and *et ticd by paying Vanderbilt ?1,800,000, He hides his lime. Ile can now com mand il00.000.000 where in '73 he <<ot together only $.'10,000.000. A friend of his told me thc other day that ho had a cash balance in the banka of $14,000,000. Ho is equipped for destruction as never man was before. With his va*t system of roads, competing with almost every lending linc, lie can open war, cut rates and let slip havoc-with his American Union telegraph company ho has already hammered thc life out of WeBtern Union and can tumble it when ho pleases. With his newspapers bc can crete ap prehension. In 1873 ai moat entirely alone und in disrepute he now bas I. >st> of friends and followers. That he believes Ibo lime is ripe for j havoc cnn beloit! from thc facta. Union Pacific, which Im created and made val- | uable, is now selling 20 cents higher than il wns when ho sold out of it-presuma bly believing thnt it had thou reached it* top value, Lake Shore is now cellini.' 50 per cent, higher than it ?as when la was selling it short, implying thereby that ho thought it then too lilgh. ?So rd St. Paul and Northwest. He believed they were too hign months ngo, and boldly sold them short-and yet they are now 40 to 50 per cent, higher than they were then. Ile will strike them soon with nil his loree, and then see thc splin ter? fly. It is fortunate that yea! ritter year tin smith, and especially C?engia, becomes more and moro independent of the Wall street influences. In the last panic our banks wore closed less than a week and tho Atlanta banks not u day. A few iron mills were closed and sonic enterprises halted in process of development, hui otherwiso Georgia suffered but little. She is in better lix now than ever. In deed, thc whole country is better nhlo to stand a shock than ever before, and ninny who predict thc early coming of trouble say thnt it will b-: nalinrp storm followed by quick sunshine, ns in ISO?, and not a reputation of thc dull und lasting paral ysis of '73. But you may look out for n break in Wall street within thc next six months Storks will tumble, values will shrink, mnrgins will be swept away ns chaffin n whirlwind, great houses will crack like egg-shells and panic will hold tho coun ?ry in its grasp once moro. And behind all the dust and smoke and uproar, gleaming in horrible calm and general chaos, will bc seen the livid and impassive face of Jny Gould. Tbc Future of the South and West. Tho .statistics o? the census ure full oi instruction ?iud should give heady politi ciaos pause. The last decade has not ??illy made n great difference in thc rela tivo rank of lue Sirtes as to population, it lins also opened a new vista into tin future of tho chief sections of tho Union respectively. Sixteen States have gone lower in the ranks and nix States go up higher Fourteen only hold tn 1880 the samo rank which they held in 1870. These are (1) Now York, (2) Pennsylva nia, (JJ) Ohio, (4) Illinois, (5) Missouri, (6) Indiana, (7) Massachusetts, (8) Ken tucky, (12) Georgia, (l-l) North Carolina, (21) Louisiana, (21) California, (?51) New Hampshire, (36) Oregon. Iowa, the eleventh in 1870, has now become the ninth, and exactly changes [daces with Tennessee. Virginia, that was tenth, hus become thirteenth, mid gives place to Texas, which goes up nine pinces at a hound and nuts herself next to Iowa. Michigan, that was thirteenth, sinks to the Qltecbtll place, while Wisconsin falls uno and becomes sixteenth in order. Alabama, sixteenth in 1870, lins become seventeenth; New Jersey in turn censor io be sc ven teen lh and becomes eighteen tb, while Mississippi, which was eighteenth, falls flvo in rank nod becomes twenty third. Maryland fulls from twentieth to twenty-second, while South Carolina, which wns twenty-first, rises in the scale Iwo stops mid Btnnds nineteenth, jusi leading Kansas. Maine IOSCH six placee and lulls from the twenty-third to the twenty-ninth, and Connecticut three places, fulling from the twenty-fifth to twenty-eighth. Arkunsas ascends ono step, from twenty-sixth to twenty-fifth. Western Virginia falls two sleps, from twenty-seventh to twenty-ninth. Min nesota rises two, from twenty-eighth to twenty-sixth. Kansas steps up nine, from twenty-ninth to twentieth. Ver mout falls from thirtieth to thirty-second, Rhode Island from thirty-second to thir ty-third, Florida from thirty-third to thirty-fourth, Colorado comes in ns thir ty-tilth, and little Delaware-thirty fourth in 1870-ls now thirty-seventh. Nebraska ascends from thirty-filth to thirtieth, while, oddly enough, Nevada, with a considerable increase of popula lion, still remains at the foot of tho roll. Tho irresistible influences of climate and soil, it will bc seen, aro telling surely at last in favor of tho South and South west, as all intelligent observers long ago saw that they would as hoon as tho artifi cial trammels imposed by the existence of slavery upon the development of tboso regions were removed. Tho silly and scandalous efforts of low parti-nn journals and of libellous twnddlera like th ? author of "A Fool's Errand'" to fight hgninst these influences with mere misrepresen tations of Southern lifo and the Southern Eeoplo aro certain to prove ns futile ns irs.

Tho percentage ol increnso throughout the South Hnrlnpr t?lc. past decado stands at 81.05, ngniust 25.85 at tho North in gcnernl, while tho per centage of increnso iu New England has beeu only 1-1.70, and in New York, Penn sy'v??ri?., Chi? m:-.; New Jersey taken together only 18.92. The fifteen so-called Southern Stales have added 4,277,700 to their population, and the twelve Western and Pacific 'States only 3.681.805. The absoluto increase of Texas si nco 1870 has been greater than tlinl of any other Stnte in tho Union, being 42,000 moro than that of Pennsylvania, and 46,000 more than that of New York. Her ratio of increase hns been enormous. Should she maintain it for the next decade 1800 will seo Texas running a close race with Illi nois for tho fourth placo in tho Hst of States. With tho impulse sure to be given her by the immense railway oper ations now leading to and concentrating upon her territory, indeed, Texas ls nut unlikely to exceed this ratio, and in that event Ohio will bo hard pushed by her for the third place. Colorado shows the most colossal ratio of increnso, rencblng 889.82 per cent., but this is obviously ab normal, as is also the ratio of 267.83 in Nebraska and of 173.14 in Kansas. The only Stato which shows ns important a ratio of increase, resting on causes likely to endure, as Texas, is Oregon, which has grown at a pace nearly double tbat of California.-A*. Y. World. AK EXTBA?BM??AHY ? CASE.-Butler Lnu.nx, a colored brakeman on tho Grcenvil!* and Columbia RailroaJ, was knocked off tho top "f a caron the morn ing of tho 29th of November by nu over head bridge near 'Silver Street. His skull waa broken and crushed ta upon thc brain. Al least a spoonful of bis braids oozed out It eras tel? graphed o I eidqup.rtcrs tho same morning that le wjtsdving. Dr. McIntosh, of Newberry^ and Dr. Tborafpsxm, of 811 vw SerMS wr? sent for. They had scarcely a hopo of saving life. They decided, however, to make thu attempt. Hy an operation known as trephining they lilted the rku!1 oil tho brain. They barely expected bini to:.ti i vi vu the operation. Tor ten days h ia pulse remained below forty. After that time he improved rapidly ; and on the 10th inst, nc was able lo go to his home at Hodges' Depot. ile says ho does not remember anything that hap pened after be left Columbia the night of tho 28th of November until alter the operation. He is a negro of moro than ordinary intelligence, and his mind seems not to have sulfered in thc slightest de gree by the accident. His age is about thirty-two.- Newberry Herald, A Short History or Wheat. The varieties of wheat are almost num berless, and their characters vary widely under the iulluence of cultivation and climate. There are said to be Indistinct varieties in thc museum ot Cornell Uni versity. On the slopes of tho mountain* Ol' Mexico and Kalapa the luxuriance of vegetation is such that wheat ?loes riot form ears. In Japan, it is sahl, the wheat hat been so developed hy the Japancesc farmers, that no matter how much ma nure ls used, the straw will not grow larger, though the length of thc ear? increase-. The height is rarely more than tw> feet, and often not more than twenty inches. Through selection, winter wheat has been changed to bummer wheat in three years, and summer wheat con verted in thc same time to winter wheat. In general, wheat is ibo most esteemed of tliecereal productions, bul in Abysinia, according to Parkyns, the flour of the "leif" or "dugasMti," scarcely palatable to Europeans, H preferred by tho natives to any other grain. 1-is was supposed lo have introduced wheat into E'/y'it, Demeter into (Jrcece, a!".! the Empt-..ir Chin Wong into China, about .'WOO li. C. In Europe it was cul li vated before the period of history, as samples have been recovered from the lacustrine dwellings of Switzerland. In England it was probably not cultivated hy thc ancient lintons, be. the Anglo Saxons, when Hede wrote, early in the eighth century, sowed their wheat in the spring, and in the days of Queen Eliza beth its cultivation was lint partial. Indeed, wheat wan nn article of compara tive luxury till nearly the seventeenth century, in India wheat seems not to be native, but introducer.-, of ita Sanscrit name signifies "food of tho barbarian ;" yet three varieties are mentioned in the lihavaprakassa, one of which is large grained, is said to have come from the West, and another, a small giained or beardless wheat, is said to have been in digenous to Middle India. Tiie first wheat raised in thc "New World" was sown by Spaniards on the island of Isabella, iu January, 140-1, and on March 30 the ears were gathered. Tho foundation of tho wheat harvest ol Mexico is baid lo have been three or lour grains carefully cultivated in 1530, and preserved by n slnvo of Cortez. The crop of Quito was raised by a Franciscan monk in trout cd" thc convent. Onrcilasso de la Verga affirms that in Peru, up to 1017, wheaten bread had not been sohl nt Cusco. Wheat was first sown hy Qosnold on Uuttyhunk, one of the Elizabeth islands in Buzzard bay,oil' Massachusetts, in 1?02.. when he Grat explored tin coast. In 1604, on the island of St. Croix, near Calais, Me., the Sieur do Monts bad some wheat sown, which flourished finely, lu 1011 (he first wheat appears to have bren sown in Virginia. In lG2Gsumplen of wheat grown in thc Dutch colony al New Netherlands were shown in Holland. li is probable that wheat was sown in the Plymouth colony prior to 102G, though we lind no rec ira of it, and in 1C2U wheat was ordered f: un England lo be used as seed. In 17i^ wheat was introduced into tho valley of tho Mississippi by the | "Western Company." In 1790 it was among the cultivated crops of the Si mos Indians of the C?ela river, New Mexico. -Milln'a Mn nazi ne. What n Voleuno Cnn Ho. Cotapaxi, in 1833, threw its fiery rock ets 8,000 feet nbovo its crater, while in 17?4 the blazing mass, struggling for an outlet, .oared so that its awtul voice was heard at a distance of more than OOO mile's. In 171)7 the crater of Tungura gua. one of tho great peaks of the Andes, (lung out torrents of mud, which damned up the rivers, opened new lakes, and in valleys l.OUO feet wide, made deposits GOO feet deep. The stream from Vesu vius, which, in 1837, pnxsrd through Torre del Greco, contained 33,000 cubic feet of solid matter, and in 1703, when Te rre del Greco was destroyed a second limo, thc muss of lava amounted to 45,000000 cubic feet. In 1700 iEtna ?i.nired forth a flood which covered 31 .?([narc miles of surface and measure! only 1,000,000,000 cubic feet. On this occasion the sand and scoria formed the Monte Rosini, near Nicholosa, a cone ol two.miles in circumference^. and 4,000 feet high. The stream thrown out by .Etna in 1810 was in motion ut tho rate of A yard a day for niuo months after the eruption ; and it ia on record that the lava of tho snme mountain, ufter a terri hie eruption, was not thoroughly cool and consolidated for ton years aller thc event. In tho eruption of Vesuvius, A. D. 79, the scoria and ashes vomited forth far excetded thc entire bulk of the mountain ; while in 1500 -Fina disgorged 20 times its own mass. Vesuvius has scut ita ashes as far aa Constantinople, Syria nnd Egypt; it hurled stones eight pounds lu weight to Pompeii, a distance of six miles, while similar tunales were tossed up 2,000 feet nbovo tho summit. Cotapaxi has projected a block of 100 cubic yards in volume a distance of nine miles; and Sumbawa, in 1815, durang the most terrible eruption on record serit its ashes as far a.> Java, a distance of three hundred miles. WHY AN AFRICAN KING CHANGED HIS RKI.UUON.-Much interest was aroused a year or two ago about King M'lesa, who rules a country on the northern shores of the Victor* Nyanza, nnd ol whom Stanley gnvo sumo glowing accounts. Tlu.se accounts led to the di-.rii ni ion lind tl i ~ 11 ttl nf A mtaalnn which ci st something like .017,000 (whereof Harones* iiurdeue-Coiuts contributed several thousands), and which converted King M'te?u to the Protestant form of Christianity, lt was felt then, and hus been believed since, that thc conversion of so distinguished a potenlato was cheap at tho price. Hut this was neither the first nor tho last of M'tcsa'a conversions. Like all his fellow countrymen, bo bsd started in life as a devout ,-ugun, worshipping Lubadi, tho Goddetr. of tho I..* ko. Ile then conceived a respect for tho faith, and especially for tho guns and ammunition ol'his neighbors, tue Egyptians, so be becamo a Mussulman, und was di;!y rewarded by n little preseut of obsolete muscio loaders. Then carno tho irrup tion of Stanley and rumora of England and tho English religion uud breech loaders. M'tesa thereupon conceived tho desire.to become a Protestant, and was happily and auccctsfully couverted to that faith hy the nii.--.sinn above mentioned which brought him, in addition to an im Sraved faith, asupply of iinprovcdSniders. Ulwequeut to this, howovcr, the Jesuits sent from Algiers a mission of their ona, with gorgeous vestments which brought with it echoes of Martini Henrys and Remingtons. Again M'teaa showed himself open to conviction, and became Roman Catholic, when he baa remained up to threo months ago. But at the latter period his people e imo (o bim and remonstrated. They said : "King M 'lesa, you have been a Mussulman, a Protes tant and a Roman Catholic. Wc must represent to you tliht we do not hold these continual changes to be for the good of tho Slate. We point out to you. j moreover, that yew have already got all ibo guns and all ibo i owler thal ran reasonably be expected lo flow from change? in religion, and ive invite you, therefore, to return lo thc f.'ith of ymir fathers and the established church td your country." King Al'leta has proved iicccsiblo to tho remonstrance* of his CiibjecU, nmi bus solemnly adjured all his heresies ami rein rued to thu worship of the godden? Lu badi.
