The nssault was feroclous and malignant, nnd it was with the utmost difficulty that outright murder was pre- vented, Guiffridt wns a burber and had dis- charged Pimontl, One nlght as ho was putting up bis shutters, Pimont! rushed fn the shop brandishing a hatetict, Ho made dircctly for Guiffrial and struck him fn thebaek of the neck, burylng the batchct in the flesh, Guiffridi dodged the second blow, but the flrss hos left him deformed for life,—~with his hend down to one slde, The assault was murderous and un- Justifinble, | When {n jall Pimont{ was violent, sullen, and deflant, Ho showed no ropentance or sorrow, and secmed to regret only that ho had not Lllled bis encmy. Ife could hardly speak n word of Euglfsh, and appesrcd to have an un- Rovernable temper that at times went almost luto paroxysms. Iils friends say that Guiffeidl treated Pimonti wrong about s wages; that he brought bim out from New York to Augusta, nnd, nfter promising to increaso his wages, die- charged bloy with probably a balance duo; and that, writhing under the sense of wrong, ina Atrange land, balf-starved and helpless, ho threw himself upon the man thut had wronged him, Howas sentenced to ten years' hard labor in the Penitentiory. And now comes the strange part of the story, He beeame very violent ab recelving his sete tence, and declared that ho would dio before ho would work. Upon reaching the comp he re- fused to take hold of the pickax. Under the discipline of the camp, ho was stripped, tled up, and whipped, Ile Jnughed and cursed in broken English as the cruel lash cut futo the flesh, and when the whipplug was over sadd, “ Whip some more; me want more.” Ie was whipped again until the Superiutendent, seclug thut he was ex- hausted, ordered him down. Ilo wne whinped amin the next day nmd the next, but never would he touch the pickax. His back was Jacer- atedy and it must bave been torture overy time the lash touched him, bat he never winced. Ile would curse his keup- ers, nnd Iouch at thelr efforls to con- quer him, About this time it was discovered thathie had not eaten o mouthiful since he was brought to the camp, and thut under the ¢fects of whipplug und starvation he was very vear to denth, Mr. Twizes, the engineer, weut to seo bilm, and asked him why he would not eat.

The Export-Teale, New York World, Mareh 11, Our wheat market haa been but little affected by the flurry that has occurred at Chleago, A small band of “scalpers,” who haunt the ‘*tapes” which record the fluctuations in West- ern markbets, wero, of course, confounded by the fluctuatlons In prices there, but as thelr operas tions arc made In those markets very lttio effect wos produced there. ‘Tho forzery ond ita results have, however, had the effect of directing nttentlon to the wheat market. A chaugo of some importance has taken place in this branch of our trade sinco the active demand for our wheat sprang up from the Coutinent. It began last scasun with the great fmprovement in the quality und quantity of the “winter” wheatrenching this market, Formerly ourdealings were almost cxcluslycly in “spring? wheat, ns those of Chlcago atill aro, but thus far 1hts scason winter growths hava taken the lead, 4 No. 2 red winter bas been most active for the speculative account s well as for export, with amber and white next, The change is due, ns we hava aald, to the demand from the Continont. The Continental buyers will not tako spring wheat, They are not acqualnted with {ts morite; the rod winter Is what they require, and fn'consequence of this preforenco No. 2 red winter bos for some thme brought more moncy than No. 1 white, which under ordinary circumstances would ‘bo worth scveral cents a bushel more, An- other fact which has dotracted from the fmpor- tance of epring wheat fs the inferfor quallty and defictent. {lcm of the last crop. The crop of 1877 nearly all graded No. 2, whils that of 1878 is nearly all graded No. 3 or rejected, while very lmlanulu as No, 2 Bosldes, i:‘.nzlllh denlers, who are the principal foreign buycrs of our spring wheat, have gradually scquired the habit ot supplyiug most of the nceds at thy }m'l"f" markets on through cogagements of roight, ‘o decline in Chicago had -therefore but a sllzht und temporary effcct here. It wna met by au active demand Tor our winter wheat from the Continent, and eonbled shippers to fill large orders on rather better terms than they couid otherwise have done,—nothing more, However, attention s naturally dirccted to the position nnd prospects of the wheat inurkot. At the commencement of the marketing of the crop it was found that we bad exported in the provious (yenr from the United Blates (Including the Paciillc Const) und from Cannda about 100,~ 000,000 Luskels, 8 quantity wholly unprecedent- od, and yet it was estinated that we.should bo n\nlu Lo kpare from the erop of 1878 no less than 120,000,000 bushols, the detlclency in the filem of spring wheat 1o the orthwest elng moro than maode up by an Incrensed yicld of winter wheat and of the crop on the Pactfic Const. At the samg tline it was estimated that Great Britain would require not less than 100,000,000 bushels und the western part of the Coutinent of Europe not less than £60,000,000 bushels, making an agoregnte of 160,000,000 busliols or more. Not only were we to be called upon to contribute the principal portion of this great deflefcncy but also to supply the increased * wants of Bouth Amerlea nnd other countries, which wera unable to obtain their accustomed supplics from the Mediterraneon ports, 'he statlstics of the first Liall of the ‘“crop yoar” are now mado up, Reduelng flour to wheat and enrny estimating the movement from the Pacltic Coast, we exported for the six months cnding the 1st of March about 75,000,000 bushels of wheat, leaving 45,000,000 bushels yet to wo forward between the lst of Murch und the dat of September. The exports from tho Atlantic pOrLs wera about 05,000,000 bushels, of which ,000,¢ went to the Continent, 28,000,000 to Oreat Britaiu, and the remainder to other countrics. In the meantime our visible supply has Increased to nbout 1,000,000 bushels agalnat about §,000,000 buskels 8 year ngo. - This secms o heavy Joad to carry.
