Four Lawrence boys skated to Lowell not long ago, to visit the skating rink there. Be fore they reached Pine island on their up ward trip one of the number became thirsty and sat down on the ice and cut a hole there in with his jack-knife in order to obtain water. As the ice was thick, it was quite a lengthy opeiatiou, and when he attempted to bent! forward to slake his his thirst, he was. unable to do so. and fell back with a hor rified expression of countenance, exclaim ing: “Boys, I’m frozen down.” His compan ions hastened to his rescue, but they were obliged to cut him clear of the ice in order to extricate him from his uncomfortable po sition. They continued on their course, but when they reached Lowell this unfortunate boy was unable, on account of the wreck which had been made of his habilments, to at tend the festive skating rink with his com panions. and was obliged to wander ignobly about through back streets and alleys until the time arrived to return home in the cars.

The Stuart Chicago Broker, Gath's Got* ip. “What do you think about this dealing in short-ribs, grain, corn, lard, etc., on the op tion plan?” “Why,” answered my friend, in a burst of confidence, “there isn't a man in the United States smart enough to deal with those brokers in Chicago. Everybody tries it, but they all end the same way. There are, per haps, 2 000 members of the Produce Ex change in Chicago. Seats are now quoted at about $4,000 apiece. About 300 of tlie men in that board ara what are called scalpers— merely operating for themselves. The regu- J lar brokers, those who are looking out for I customers, scour this whole country up and l down, and put their black-boards and wires into every village which is thrifty and with capital. Their game is to get all you have got, and you may as well make up your mind that they are going to have it if you com mence dealing with them.’-' A KISSER FROM KISSVILLK. The Venerable Commander-In-Chief and the Pretty Actress. San Francisco Post. The return of Miss Alice Harrison to the city recalls an incident of hercareer when a member of the famous California company of four or five years ago, which may still provoke a smile from those who witnessed the occurrence in question. About the time of Miss IL’s farewell benefit at that theater General Sherman was visiting the city, and, with his staff, occupied a box at said per-: formance. Now, whatever diflerence of opinion may exist as to the military renown of the general of our armies, there is no dis pute as to his being the champion kisser of the continent. In fact, the iiero of Atlanta may be said to possess a mania for labial sal utations of a fatherly sort, and is known to frequently indulge in the proud boast that he has kissed 90 per cent, of all the pretty girls iu the United States. His chief of staff once computed the General’s monthly kissing average, taken by and large all the year round, dry and wet seasons in cluded, at about 1,806. or, say, in round numbers, about 22,000 kisses per each kissing fiscal year. If the General had only added babies to the list of his subjects he would have kissed his way into the White House years ago; but his reluctance to waste valu able time and raw material in the pursuit of his hobby induces him, with the true in stincts of a veteran professor of osculation, to select only the prettiest of the sex for that honor. At the benefit referred to, no sooner did Miss Harrison appear on the stage than the old war-horse snuffed the battle from afar and began to grow restless and uneasy. The staff winked at each otiier, and soon their chief suggested the propriety of going be hind the sceues to compliment the benefi ciary. We must now ask our readers to accom pany us to the little Danish settlement of Eericvland. on the borders of tlie Baltic, in the year 1831. A village festival is being held, and as usual the distinguished visitors gather to salute the girl who has taken the annual prize for cooking and virtue. There is a young American officer among the num ber, who, instead of printing the customary chaste salute upon the cheek of the village celebrity, folds her in his sky-blue arms and settles down on her frontispiece like a hy draulic pump on an assessment list. The minutes ffv bv, and just as the spectators are about drawing their stop-watches on the last quarter the young officer comes to the surface again. As he recovers his exhausted wind the weather-beaten captain of a wreck ing crew approaches and says: “Young man, I*ll give you your own price to ship with me as a diver.” “Aud why?” “Because you can hold your breath longer than any man in the business.” We merely relate this little incident to emphasize our story. The kisser was young Tecuruseh. But. to resume. As soon as the staff was behind the scenes General Sherman pitched in with the remark that he hadn’t kissed anything since breakfast. He was standing in the middle of the tage, with his back to the curtain, and absorbed in bestow ing a paternal kiss upon Alice, and feeling like a just-admitted angel sliding down a buttered rainbow, when that impish young lady saw’ that the prompter was about to ring up the “drop.” Quickly placing her hands over the General’s ears so he could not hear the bell, she backed him against the curtain. As everyone knows, this is wound around a huge wooden roller on the inside of the canvas. The General’s coat tails were caught by this as the curtain went up, and before the prompter could re verse the motion the astounded man was sus pended about ten feet from the stage like a sheet from a clothes-line. Tlie audience went off into hysterica of merriment, while the members of the staff* lay down on the floor ot their box and abso lutely howled, for they only knew that those convulsively clutching legs and venerable gaiters belonged to the commander-in-chief of all our armies. But the first thing we know the General’s coat tails will give way, so we will ring down the curtain, THE BALDWIN SHOOTING. How the Pretty Defendant and the Milliou uire Looked in Court. San Francisco Correspondence Globe-Democrat. The scene in the court during the progress of the trial has been peculiar. For "the first two days both Baldwin and the defendant were present. The woman is very pretty, and her interesting face is brought out in stronger relief by the deep mourning which she wears for the loss oi her mother, who died a few weeks ago. She is a tall girl of slight and supple figure, graceful and lady like; her features are regular and pleasing—a long, oval face, lighted by a pair of fine, dark eves which now wear a hunted expres sion as though she feared something was go ing to overtake her. She shows no self consciousness, but devotes all her attention to the various witnesses. The only sign of nervousness she betrays is in the constant folding and unfolding of a hand kerchief which at other times she •holds to her mouth. There is nothing hard or bad about her face; in fact, a stranger who did not know her history would say she was exceptionally intelligent and pretty; he would never dream of tlie ups and downs she has had in her short life. With her is a short, snub-nosed woman, with sandy hair, a relative and chaperone. If the fair Fannie is a coquette, in spite of her demure air, she could not have chosen a better foil for dark beauty than this companion. Near her sits the millionaire, with tlie care worn look, hollow cheeks and furtive glance, so well known to any old resident of this city. He sits with his legs crossed, twirling his long, lean fingers, and occasionally start ing up from the brown study into which he lias fallen, to cast an apprehensive glance at the defendant, who so thoroughly ignores Iris existence. It is plain to see that he is ill at case and heartily bored by the tedium of the legal proceedings. He occasionally leans over to whisper a suggestion to his counsel, but his usual position is one of listless indifference. On the first day the court-room was badly crowded, but since then every one except re porters, lawers and witnesses has been ex cluded, and the place is now as quiet and decorous as a church, with a great mob in the corridors of the City Hall craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the interior whenever the door is opened. There is lit tle question that the woman will be ac quitted, as the testimony is strong and un impeached that after her sojourn .at the Baldwin Hotel and on the ranch of Santa Anita she was a changed woman and devel oped many singular delusions. Public sym pathy is entirely with the girl, as Baldwin is notorious for Iris intrigues with women and for his cold-blooded way of casting them adrift after he has tired of them. Such a reputation, especially in a city of free and easy morality like this, is not gari.ed with out cause. Lawful Prize-Fight! ug. New York World. The second round was more lively than the first, and as John L. Sullivan, who was pres ent, said, “It’s hurricane fighting, that is.” Mitchell planted blows all over Cleary, and his face and body were as red as a boiled lobster, the former being considerably puffed, The third round was also as “terrific” as j possible when fighting with gloves, and blow alter blow was rained on Cleary’s face, neck and body, while he seemed unable to mate 1 any defense. Toward the end of the round Mitchell fought Cleary to his corner, and hit him on the nose with his right hand and tin der the chin with his left, which caused him to stagger. Before he could recover a ter ific “left-handed down-chopper” struck him on the nose, and he fell in a heap in the floor. Captain Gunner sprang over the ropes, and helped the unfortunate Philadelphian to his corner, and Mitchell walked over to him and shook his hand, and the excitement was ended. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and Provision Market®. INDIANAPOLIS, April 11. There is oertainly a better feeling and more activity in the general merchandise markets, and more confidence that we are to have a good year’s business than there was thirty days ago, yet In some departments there is a sluggishness which rathe ••surprises business men. Prices on mosts tuples are steady and strong. Wheat and corn havo declined because of gieat accumula tions In the Western cities, the stock of wheat at Chicago being 6,618,000 bushels and of corn 7.999,000. The exports of wheat and flour from seven ‘Atlantic ports tor th© week ending April 2 were 1,456,035 bushels against 1,920,203 the week before and 1,527,811 two weeks before. Tbe supply of wheat and flour in England seems to have been greatly overestimated. Figures furnished by British statisticians have generally been wide of the mark this crop year. There has certainly been an enormous increase iu the consumption of wheat in England, a® might be expected with potatoes 60 to 100 per oent. higher than last year, and wheat 42s a quarter against an average of over 50s for twenty-five years past. The millers on both sides of the Atlantic complain bitterly of the excessive supply of Tour, and the Minneapolis mills are now grind ing tim smallest quantity this season. The produce markets arc more active, but, prices tend lower for butter and eggs. R. ecipts of poultry i*re still meager and prices stiff. No new features worthy of note in the provision markets. An Interest which lias enlisted many millions of foreign capital and which shows ;apid growth of iutc is the cattle trade. The Harrold ranch in Greer county, Tex., has just been sold to the Franklin Land and Cattle Com pany of New York for $1,500,000. The Western cattle seem to nave wintered well. At the On tario distilleries there are 6,500 bead of cattle which are to be exported. The trade will prob ably l>e active this Reason. A gn at deal of Western land lias been bought in the past year or two by foreign companies for settlement by cartle raisers and tillers of the soil. The Scotc h Land Company of Northern lowa, which began two yearn ago with a capital of half a million dollars, is successful and now con trols 100,000 acres of land. There are a number of similar enterprises In the South, notably in Florida and Texas. GRAIN. There was an improved tone to the grain mar kets to-day, and more confident feeling pre vailed among dealers. The Board of Trade Price O&rrent says of wheat: “Prices are somewhat firmer, but dealers decline to invest, and tone was dull. Although seaboard rules from I*l 4c, track, firmer, yet local markets are comparative ly higher, which makes it impossible to ship with profit.” On second call, Eastern points have toned p sinoe opening, and close2c higher all round.
