Whmt** JUT IVUottton of grain trade the past week, says: Six weeks of thorough seasonable weather have made a wonderful change in the aspect of the country which is somewhat backward in some districts, but therefore less likely to suffer from any return of cold weather. Showers have somewhat delayed the completion of the spring sowing. Supplies of English wheat are again small, both in London and in the provinces. Prices declined a shilling, millers requirements being higher and the weather favorable for a future crop. There has been a decline in foreign wheat in London caused by speculative combination in America to dic tate prices to western Europe. Red winter which a fortnight ago, was worth 39 shillings per quarter, sold with difficulty at 8 shillings per quarter decline. Russian sorts have not declined quite so decidedly, but the tendency in all cases has been adverse to sellers. At the same time the decline stimulated the de mand, and millers in some cases bought com paratively freely. The proximate cause of the collapse of the ring was not so much ab stention from buying on this side as the fav orable crop prospects in both England and America. The official estimate of the stock of grain London is larger than anticipated, namely, 678,000 quar ters against 309,000 at a correspond ing time last year. Comparing the stock in granary at the beginning of the year, there is a decline of 518,000 quarters. Maize, in con. sequence of the large arrivals, receded 3 to shillings fram the recent highest point Mixed American extra shipment is now £20 shillings. Arrivals at ports of call have been moderate and trade very quiet for wheat at 1 shilling to 1 shilling 6 pence lower, with only a moderate demand and on the decline. It is noticeable however, that the continent has taken a con siderable proportion of later arrivals. Maize !old steadily, although weaker. At the close wheat for shipment was freely offered, but buyers continue indisposed to operate, it de clined fully one shilling and maize was six pence lower. Sales of English wheat last week were 24,666 quarters at 48s 2d per quar ter, against 52,939 quarters at 41s per quarter the previous year. Imports into the United kingdom during the week ending April 3t were 1,046,149 cwt. of wheat and 144,053 cwt, lighting a Panther. When Harry Lascar, of Lafayette Corners, Pa., returned from a day's hunt, he looked as though he had been put through a threshing machine. He went to a panther's den, crawled in and, drawing a bead on the animal fired. When he recovered conscious ness, the panther was tossing him about like a cat does a mouse, and with one stroke of her paw she sent him head long outside the cave. Early in the figkt Lascar's rifle was made useless by breaking the nipple. The animal tore fcis face in shreds. With a hundred wounds on bis body, and his clothing torn to ribbons, the old man was well nigh exhausted, when, by an almost superhuman effort, he reaohed his hunt ing knife, and, by a well-directed blow, quieted the beast. 14. Andre as the Savior of America. It is a curious fact that, if Andre had not been arrested, the treason of Ar nold would have been thoroughly sue oessful, and the efforts of the Americans for independence temporarily, if not permanently, frustrated. Maj. Andre may, therefore, be regarded as, in certain sense, the savior of their ooon try .—London Academy. An Interment. Soene—Ajpublic dining-room on the avenue. What's that—a nigger fune ral?"

The House went into committee of the whole on the In dian appropriation bill. A brief statement of the money features of the bill was made. Mr. Baker said that to many people it was a mat ter of surprise that the United States govern ment failed to govern the Indians as well as the Canadian government. Yearafter year had passed away without the establishment of any system which looked to anything bnt robbing the Indian and plunging the country into war. The only fixed policy which the govern ment seemed to have in regard to the Indian was that which drove him from the face of the earth. Mr. Hooker gave notice that he intended to offer an amendment to the bill transferring the Tnclian bureau from the interi or to the war department. Mr. Haskell offered an amendment increasing the appropriation from $14,000 to $19,00 for the purchase of clothing for the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. Pending the vote the committee rose.

At the evoiiin" session the House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Stevenson in the chair, ou th«" Mute of the Union for consideration of bills report ed from the committee on naval aflUirs In discussing the bill relative to machinists in the navy, Mr. Cougersaid his ideas as to close corporations of the Naval academy and West Point academy had changed somewhat with in the last few days. He began to believe that it was possible that the remarks of his Demo cratie friends relative to those institutions were true, it might seem almost incredible (laughter). It might be that the government was educating a class of men who felt them selves so much above senators andrepresenta tives that they considered it unworthy ofthem to associate with their fellows If they differ from them in color, religion or previous con dition of servitude. He might want to take these remarks back if he found the govern ment was able to control the unruly, highly educated gentlemen at West Point. The committee then rose and reported several bills to the House, and they were passed with the exception of the bill relative to machinists in the navy, upon which the main question was ordered. The bill regulating the mode of purchasing tobacco for the navy passed, and the House adjourned. Music of the Ancients. Out of this old and wise and, aa it seems, musical Egypt came Moses and the children of Israel. And, as they had been for generations in that Nile valley, and since the gifted leader had been reared in the King's palaces, and had become skilled in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, it is evident that when the children of Israel emigrated to set up a state of their own they car ried with them a musio of no small worth. We have long known that they oarried from the Nile many principles of ethics and religion, some good and some bad, but to this political science and common literature we must now add quite rich treasures of hymns and music. We may suppose that the hymns which Moses and the army sung, and which Miriam sung with the ac companiment of her timbrel and dance, were hymns created in a land and age when the harp had twenty-one strings. By the natural law of progress this music had become still better by the day when Solomon dedicated his temple, and when mention begins to be made of many, instruments. In the last Psalm quite an orchestra springs up before us. Seated in that grand old house of worship, you are amazed to see and hear trumpet and psaltery, and harp and timbrel and organs and stringed instruments and high-sound ing cymbals. In the time of Daniel, 500 years later, other instruments ap pear, and bands for the street had sprung up. for it was decreed that Daniel must worship the false gods at the moment when he should hear in' the street cornet, flute, and harp, sack but, psaltery and dulcimer, and all other kinds of music. It seems that the writer had not the patience to enumer ate all the instruments in the street bands of the King. Whence issued the stream of fresh sound? It began in that benevolence and wisdom of God which bestowed upon man the power to perceive and produce and love the beautiful and, having thus begun, the power has grown as the world has grown, and at last music ranks highest of the beautiful arts, unless we cadi literature an art. 1 art is to be estimated by its power, not only in any one person, but amid the multitude, and following such a method of judgment, painting and sculpture and architecture fall far behind this one form of sentiment—the sentiment of sounds. A few may confess their par tiality for painting or statuary indeed, some are music* deaf, as others are color blind but, looking at the human fam ily, the delight and pathos of musio is almost universal. It is the art which holds all in its spell. The fables about Orpheus, how, when he played upon his instrument, the very trees listened, and the wild beasts oame to hear and laid aside all their ferocity, are only old efforts of literature to tell us how pow erful this form of the beautiful has al ways been. Long before the modern penetration had said "Let me make the songs of the nation and I shall not care who may make its laws," Plato had said If, you would know, whether a state is well governed you must first look into the condition of its music." We have come to thoughts upon a power which reaches the most human souls, and reaches only to elevate. None are too poor to hear musio none are too hum ble in education to appreciate and en joy the most perfect achievements in this line of genius none are above it or below it in rank. It comes to all, like the sunshine which is grateful to a beggar or a King.—Prof. David Swing. No Loss of Confidence. A Detroit grocer had a patent money drawer attached to his counter, and it was no sooner in working order than his clerk tendered his resignation. "You going to leave? Why, whafs the matter?" asked the grocer. I don't want to stay where a person has lost confidence in me." Do you refer to that new till?" Yes." "Well, you are very foolish. .haven't lost the least bit of confidence in your honesty, but simply argued that if you had less change to squander outside I could have more of your time in the store!

NUMBER 1, Cabinet Recreations. The members of the Cabinet, says a Washington letter, sometimes have very amusing interviews with ladies, as the following will illustrate: Young Lady—Mr. Secretary, I have oalled to see if you can tell me when Capt is to be ordered away, and where he will go to? Secretary—I reully do not know. Do you wish liim ordered away? Y. L.—No, indeed (this with a very conscious look and a slight increase in color) only, if you were I would like to know, you know, for you see (pulling out her handkerchief and putting her little gloved linger in her mouth a la Maggie Mitchell), you know Mr. now don't you Sec.—How should I? Y. L.—Then IU tell you (this with a look of determination). I'm going to marry him, and if you are going to or der him off, why we want to get married before. That is all. Sec.—I have not thought of ordering him away, and, since he is going to en gage in snch pleasant business, will not. Y. L.—Oh! Mr. ain't you good? I'm so glad. Now I'll have plenty of time to get ready. Another young lady sends in her card and is admitted, when £he following colloquy takes place: Y. L.—I have called to see if you will not give permission to Lieut. to eome here from A—? Sec.—Any of his near relatives sick? (scanning her closely). Y. L.—No, sir. His friends want to see him so much, and you can have him come if you want to. Sec.—Oh 1 I Bee how it is. If you will say you are his sweetheart he abal! come. Y. L.—Yes, sir, he is 1 (saying this with both hands hiding her face). The Secretary says that he gave per mission to that officer to come, tele graphing to him to that effect within the hour. All Secretaries are not like the one we are speaking of, so young ladies must not presume on the above inci dents, for they might not be as success ful as our two enterprising young ladies. Qqe Woman's Career. Many years ago a young lady—an or phan girl of good family and an heiress to bo®t—began to have grave doubts whether life was not a more serious mat ter than the traditions of her class had led her to suppose. Now, just when she was beginning to be haunted by a vague longing to make her life noble and useful, came the well-remembered cholera plague, and the opportunity she desired presented itself. She left her luxurious home, volunteered as an ama teur nurse, and attended the sick and dying through all the loathsome malady. One might have thought that her bitter experience in the cholera wards would make her long for her former luxurious life. But no. She now determined to take up the study of medicine, and had already passed her preliminary examinations when she met, loved and married Nathan iel Heckford, a young medical man. The husband and wife, both equally full of philanthropic enthusiasm, then resolved to establish an hospital where one was sorely needed—in the east of London. Mrs. Heckford cheerfully devoted a great part of her fortune to the purpose, and the hospital sprung into being with out the public finding 6d. It went through vicissitudes .but after Charles Dickens wrote that brilliant account of it, called The Star in the East," its prosperity was secured. To make a long story short, the connection between the Heckfords and the hospital came to an end. Mr. Heckford died, and his wife went to Naples, where she helped to promote a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Then she went in for adventurous travels, going through Arabia and the wildest parts of India, often accompanied merely by one guide. She tried to practice medicine among the women of the Zenana, but, finding it impossible to overcome native prejudi ces, abandoned the idea. Since then she has disappeared from civilized ken, the latest news received of her being that she is with a party of colonists in Africa, busily engaged in learning ost rich farming, which she fondly imagines will furnish some of our redundant population with a means of earning their livelihood. John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, in their relations to one an other, are the symbols of great and eternal facts in religious truth and ex perience. These two figures and these two lives pass before us like a beauti ful and instructive allegory. On the one hand, we see starting up in the wilderness a wild, rude form, wrapped in a coarse blanket, with a countenance expressive of spiritual sadness and wearing the traces of ascetic habit The desert resounds with his stern ac cents, and all hearts fall under his searching and unsparing exposure of their sin. Is not this the immemorial type of law, and of the repentance with which it is commissioned to work in awakened consciences And now this other figure, which comeB treading in the footsteps of the desert preacher. On His face is a most winning light. His voice is sweet and low, His food and dress are those of other men, His way is among their homes and haunts He gives His sanc tion to social and domestic life he is the healer of the blind, the leprous and the demoniac on His lips is the word of pardon and peace He comes to seek and to save that which was lost. He is more than the type, He is the incarnate realization, of the Gospel. He repre sents faith and forgiveness, those ele ments of religious truth and experience which are to the former as the time of the tender grape and the voice of the turtle dove, the appearing of flowers and the green fig, the time of the sing ing of birds, is to the winter when it is past and the rain when it is over and gone. For it is the voice of our Be loved, who has come over the mount ains of our sin, and standing by the wall of our earthly homes shows Him' self through the lattice of our daily lives.—Christian Intelligencer. Asking to Go Home. The Springfield Sabbath Republican has a pretty story of two little children who went alone on a recent Sunday to church, when a minister from out of town preached. They took a seat near the front and, after the minister had got well into his sermon, the smallest ohild whispered to his sister that he would like to go home. People who sat behind them heard the little girl tell him that he must not go without the minister's permission so hand in hand they left their seat, and, standing be fore the clergyman, the little chap lisped oat Ida petition. Hie minisfei was naturally surprised, but, without interrupting his discourse, nodded his assent. That did not satisfy the chil dren, and again the boy asked permis sion to go, and waa answered by another nod. The little girl, fearing the minis ter had not understood her brother, said: Please, sir, may brother and I go home The minister stopped and verbally granted their request, and, with a sweet Thank you, sir," and a courtesy, the children went down the aisle together. The Young Lawyer*! First Speech. The way in which a young lawyer handles his first important case gener ally shows of what stuff he is made. If he has the mental strength and elastic tact that case may prove the spring board whence to leap to rank and re ward. An illustration of what a young law yer may effect by a first oase is given in the life of the Southern statesman, Alex. H. Stephens. He was but 23 yean of age when he was retained to defend a mother's right to the guardianship of her infant daughter. At the death of the child's father a Mr. Battle, the paternal grand father, had been appointed its guardian. The mother marrying a man of intem perate habits, Mr. Battle kidnapped the child. Mr. Stephens brought him be fore the court to show why the child should not be restored to its mother. Knowing that the Battles were many and influential in the country, the young lawyer thoroughly prepared himself. Day after day he sought a lovely hill side, and in its solitude argued the case over and over again. The day came for the argument, and the Court House was filled with ex cited men and women. Nine-tenths of them sympathized with the grand father. Pale and trembling the youth ful lawyer arose. Speaking to the hearts, rather than to the heads, of the five Judges, he drew a pathetic picture of the bereft mother, robbed of her only ohild. Abundant evidence had been given that the child would be better off with the grandfather than with the mother and her drunken husband. It melted away as the young orator, in a voice quivering with emotion, pleaded that nature, whose law overrides all human statutes, justified the sacred Wlnim of the mother. Men and women wept. The Judges tried in vain to remain impassive— tears rolled down their oheeks. When the eloquent advocate finished his ar gument the presiding Judge pro nounced, in faltering voice, judgment in favor of the mother. "When that little fellow," said a cousin of the grandfather, "began to ar gue that even among the beasts of the forest the mother was, by the great law of nature, the keeper of her offspring, and would fight even to the death for their custody, and all the Judges fell to crying, I knew that Isaao would have to give up Martha Ann." That speech gave Mr. Stephens rank with the best lawyers and first orators of the State.—Youth's Companion. I—Skill in Education. It looks as if the time had come fox us to thoroughly overhaul our notions of education, and devote ourselves to the training of skillful workmen as well as astute doctors and lawyers and minis ters and politicians. The benefactor of the future is not so much the man who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before as he who can make one blade of grass as good as two put together. If we keep on developing our material resources, there will come a time when their production will be unprofitable, and our only salvation will be to increase them a thousand-fold in value by the application of skill. A bale of cotton is a big, bulky affair but worked up into little spools of thread it is increased in value a thousand-fold. France might have exported by the ship-load thousands of tons of clay and silex, and not have received back as much as she gets from one delicate lit tle Sevres vase. America has already proved by her manufactures that the products of skill far outweigh in value the products of mere force and, more over, that her skill, when thoroughly trained, is to be matched against the world. When Russia wants a telescope that shall excell in power any yet made, she passes the fine work of Munich and the shops of Frauenhofer to come to Cambridge, where Alvan Clark's skill ful hands will turn out lenses that beat the world.—Springfield Republican. A Japanese Festival. The tide of progression has rapidly advanced in Japan, and its women are being emancipated, both socially and domestically. The Tokio Times thus describes a recent festival on the grounds of the Emperor's palace: "Many ladies were present, Japanese and foreign—the former, it was pleasant to note, as completely at their ease and as keen for enjoyment as if participat ing in a Thames picnic—as several ot them had, doubtless, done. Some, in deed, were actually unattended by their husbands, and yet the earth did not heave with indignation nor Fuziyama roar in eruptive protest. The sun shone and the trees nodded approvingly ir the light breeze just as if no social mar vel were manifesting itself in that an tique stronghold of tradition aad im movable routine." A Powerful Magnet. A celebrated lecturer on natural phil osophy was one evening dilating upon the powers of the magnet—defying any one to name or show anything surpass ing its powers. An old gentleman ac cepted the challenge, much to the lec turer's surprise, but he, nevertheless, invited him on to the platform, when he told the lecturer that woman nas the magnet of magnets—for, if the load stone on the table could attract a piece of iron for a foot or two, there was a young woman who, when he was a young man, used to attract him thirteen mi/es every Sunday to have a chat with h*rr. Singleness of Purpose. When two young people, with a single ness of purpose and a doubleness of affection, sit up with each other, and when the clook strikes 12, he says, Is it possible?" and she says, "Why, didn't know it was so late!" you may draw your conclusions that, if the busi ness boom continues, a unified couple will be hunting a bona* to rant in the spring. ROOTS and tubers must be plump, even sized, with fresh, unshriveled skins, and are good from ripening time until they begin to sprout. All green vegetables should be very crisp, fresh and juicy, and are best just before flow What Saved Jackson. Mr. 8. Park Baker, of Youngstown, N. Y., after having read a current ac count of the Jackson-Dickinson duel, thus writes to a friend in Kentucky: Tliere is one feature about this duel with Dickinson, however, that seems a little peculiar, and that is that Gen. Jackson, who was a very spare man in his person, should have been dressed in a loose-fitting gown or coat, so that his antagonist could not readily tell the location of his body. Dickinson aimed right, and if Jackson's body had been where Dickinson supposed it was, and where, perhaps, the code duello would say it ought to have been, there is no jnst reason to doubt that Gen. Jackson would at that time have "passed in his checks," for the ball from Dickinson's pistol would have struck his heart be yond any doubt, according to the ac oount of the duel. Now, the criticism and point I make in the character of "Old Hickory," in respect to this duel, is this: Having dressed himself in a man ner to deceive Dickinson as to the precise location of his (Jackson's) body, and, having received Dickinson's bullet without any serious injury, it was not a just and fair thing in Jackson afterward to take deliberate aim at Dickinson and kill him. No matter what the provoca tion was on the part of Dickinson which led to the duel, it seems to m« that, having resorted to what was then con sidered an honorable method of set tling the difficulty, they were each bound to give the other fair play, and the only excuse or justification I can find for Gen. Jackson for his deliberate and premeditated killing of Dickinson is the fact that perhaps, upon general principles, Dickinson ought to have been killed for slandering so upright and estimable a woman as the wife of Gen. Jackson. In reading an account of this fight I am reminded of the duel between John Randolph and Kentucky's most illustrious citizen, Henry Clay, in 1826, only the termination of this duel was not so disastrous as the former, and yet it might have been if Mr. Clay had not, to some extent, been deceived as to the location or position of Randolph's body, for it was stated by some one tlmt Mr. Clay remarked after the duel was over that he might as well shoot at a pair of tongs as at Randolph. Canine and Human Intelligence. Mr. Ramschneider and his friend August Fifemacher were out walking, and Mr. Ramschneider was boasting of the intelligence of his dog. See here," he said "I place my hat here, in this fence corner I conceal it under the brnsh and dried leaves. We will no gewalk on. We pass down the lane we geturnen this corner we stroll by the woods. I send Bismarck back for my hat. See, my friend he com prehends me he flies through the woods he speeds down the lane he disappears around the corner present ly he will back gekommen before I have time to catch cold in my head." It was true, as Mr. Ernst Ram schneider had said. The intelligent dog, readily understanding what was wanted, sped down the lane and flew around the corner to get the hat. But he did not get it all the same. For, jnst as he flew around the corner, a wary, though not an affluent tramp, who had watched the cir cus from afar, was in the act of appropriating Mr. Ramschnei der's new hat unto himself, and when the dog got up in short range he fired a clay-cold clod, as hard as a door-knob, at that faithful animal, with a force that knocked a howl out of him as long as a clothes-line, and sent him waning and weeping back to his astonished master. And when Mr. Ramschneider and his friend hastened to investigate, they found under the brush an old hat, that had lived in more ash heaps than you could count in a week, and so greasy and forbidding in its general appearance that Mr. Ramschneider wouldn't touch it with his cane. Far away, beneath the distant fields, they saw the sunlight shining on Mr. Ram schneider's $5 hat, and the tramp of the dusty highway was jogging along under it. But Mr. Ramschneider walked home bare as to his head, which is of the bald, baldy, and he hasn't got out of bed yet with the cold he caught. Hoec fabula docet that you when you stake the instinct of the canis against the cheek of a tramp, you can just bet multum pecuniae the canis will be Burlington Hawk-Eye. Signers of the Declaration. One of the most remarkable circum stances attending the fortunes of the signers of the Declaration of Independ ence was the tranquillity in which their lives were passed, and the late period to which they were protracted. Most of them lived to a good old age, crowned with civil honors bestowed by the gratitude of the republic, and some of them perished by the mere decay of the powers of nature. Of the fifty-six who affixed their signatures to that document, twenty-seven lived to an age exceeding 70 years, and forty to an age of 60. Only two of the whole number, Gwinnett, of Georgia, who fell in a duel in his 45th year, and Lynoh, of South Carolina, who was shipwrecked in his 60th, died a violent death. Twenty one lived to the beginning of the pres ent century, and three were permitted to see the great experiment of a repre sentative confederacy confirmed by the events of fifty years. Of all the dele gates from New York and New En gland, only one, Whipple, of New Hampshire, died at an earlier age than 60. Never in the world had the leaders in any bold and grand political move ment more reason to congratulate them selves and their country on the issue. The exertions and perils of their man hood were succeeded by a peaceful, honored and ripe old age, in which they witness the happy result of the institu tions they had aided in devising, and they were gathered in their graves amid the regrets of the generation which was in its cradle when they laid the founda tion of the republic. Friendship. G4T©me the friend who haa the wane love for me always, who is ready to "speak up for me in the midst of ene mies, ana repeat what he considers my virtues as an offset to the failings they may rehearse, and who will hold fast to bis faith in my truth and goodness in Bpite of defamation. Such friends may be scarce, but when found are priceless fcreasurea. ART reoeived rather an awkward ariti cism from a free-and-easy young man who met a sculptor in a social circle, and addressed him thus: "Er—er—so you are the man—er—that makes—er —mud heads?"

Paper i Tine an Cuntr. Terms: 12.00 per Year In Advances Why He Reformed. Edward Delancy was an old-timer, and he looked it every inch of him as he scraped his boot sole to his Honor in the Police Court. "Back again?" said the magistrate, looking up and recognizing him. Goodness me, what a reform!" "Reform! You may well say that. No one saw me onto'nights gallavantin' round. No, indeed, I went right home when work was over, and kept to my room all Aight. I didn't take even a strolL" Wonderful 1" And, beside, Pre got to be quite gentle. I didn't harm a fly all that time. Some fellows were mighty rough on me, too, and ordered me about pooty sharply. But I didn't raise any rum pus I didn't say a hard word to 'em at all." Why, you have been quite a Chris tian." Indeed I have. You wouldn't be lieve it, but I've been to services regu larly every Sunday, and I've got heaps o' tracts given to me." "Weli, wonders will never cease," said his Honor, hesitating to sign the commitment. But where have you been all the time?" "In the penitentiary, sir," blandly responded the prisoner.—New York Herald. ".Pay John Williams." At a church prayer-meeting, not far from Boston, a man whose credit was not the best, and who was somewhat noted for his failure to meet his obliga tions, arose to speak. The subject for the meeting was "What shall I do to be 6aved?" Commencing in measured tones, he quoted the passage, "What shall I do to be saved?" He paused, and again more emphatically asked the question, "What shall I do to be saved?" He paused, and again more emphati cally asked the question, "What shall I do to be saved Again, with increased solemnity and impressiveness of man ner, he repeated the monotonous in quiry, when a voice from the assembly, in clear and distinct tones, answered, "Go and pay John Williams for the yoke of oxen yon bought of him!" The remainder of the gentleman's address was not reported. All present appreciated the fitness of the unexpect ed word in season, and were saved from hearing a lengthy exhortation from the swindler's lips. The incident has led us to think that there are a good many people who, be fore they make much progress in walk ing in the way of salvation themselves, or guiding others therein, will have to "go and pay John Williams," or John somebody else, the money that they honestly owe them. There is no man shrewd enough to pursue a course of dishonesty and trickery, and still retain the favor of God in t.hi« world, or a good hope of glory in the world to come. It is best to settle up, square up and pay up, and then it will be in order to talk to the prayer-meeting.— Christian. A Banker's Trick. Once upon a time, when Dumas, the noted French author, was short of cash, he wrote to a certain millionaire ask ing for the loan of some money for a few months. The letter was an ex tremely characteristic one, and ended with a little rondeau, half jest, half seri ousness. Indeed, it was such a clever production that the banker sagely con cluded that the author was not to be trusted with money, and promptly and curtly declined to make the proposed investment. At dinner that night sev eral of the banker's guests happened to be discussing a recent sale of auto graphs, and mentioned the almost fabulous price brought by familiar notes of Hugo, Lamar one, Guizot, and Gautier. "Do you mean to tell me," said the millionaire, "that things of that soli have any value—money value?" "Certainly they have!" replied one of the guests, who was a collector. "A good autograph such as I have men tioned is worth its weight in himlr hill* any day." How much is this worth?" said the banker, taking Dumas' letter from his pocket. "I'll give you 100 francs for it this instant," said the collector, with enthu siasm, after reading it. Done! said the banker, and, with a pitying smile, he pocketed the money for the letter to which a few hours be fore he had returned a contemptuous refusal. A Cautious Answer. It was said of President Van Bnren that no one could get a downright yes or no from him. The same is said of a distinguished Englishman, Arch deacon Denison. At least in 1 u We haven't seen you for many a day." The prisoner tried to suppress a hlo cough, and murmured very solemnly: No more you have, sir, no more you have. I've been a much-altered man lately. You wouldn't know me for the last six months." "Indeed. Given up drinking,then?" Not a drop of liquor did I taste in all that time, sir. Honor bright." You don't mean to say you gave np loafing," said his Honor, in surprise. "Not a day's work did I lose, sir. Up early and at it right smart till night. Oh, I did not waste my time, depend on it." *ehate he will never commit himself, while he is quick to take advantage of '"every point in the game." If the following story about him ill ustrating this fact is not true, it is cer tainly well invented." Denison was closely pressed in an argument, but was evidently resolved to die hard, and at length his antagonist, a virtuous engi neer of the Smiles ideal, lost patience at the irregular warfare of the Areh deaoon. Look here, sir," lie exelaimed, des pairingly, "do you acknowledge that two and two make four?" I am not prepared to make an ad mission of that importance," replied Denison, "till I have given the subject the maturest consideration. Sometimes it is supposed that they make twenty* twe."

He says he is obliged to put up ten to tifteen extra beds every night. The train Monday evening was over two hours late, owing to the storm having dis arranged the telegraph poles aud wires Recorder Curti9 is having a residence built on Eighth street, west side. This portion of our village is building up rap idly. There were one or two rows last week, but as they are to be ventilated by law, or rather one of them is, we will defer com ment. The grand balcony, stoop, piazza, or veranda in front of the Metropolitan is quite overcoming, aud casts a b-a shade when compared with the other awnings If your cattle are put in the pound, you will be required to pay 1.00 line, and 50 cents per day for each day they remain. The moral is keep your stock from running at large. The "s-witcliing hour of night," of which the poet so gushingly speaks, is sup posed to be from 9 to 12 p. m., or about the hour when the ladies ore undoing their back hair. SOCIABLE.—The sociable at the Congre gational church last Friday evening was not very largely attended, but as usual when a number of Morris folks are gather ed together, everyone had a pleasant time MCD.—The dash of snow which fell, has made the streets too muddy for any thing, but thanks to the many improve ments and extensions of side and cross walks, it is not necessary to do any wad ing. In answer to our oft' repeated query, 'well, is there any thing new?" we have this week heard the invariable answer, 'nary clam." This is not very encourag ing to a man who has got to have items any how. If a newspaper of the size of the Tribune were issued once a year in book form, it wauld make a volume of 3328 pages, size 5x6|, or one of 1664 pages, 6JxlO inches. This may seem astonishiug, but anyone can figure it out for themselves. GET 'EM PRINTED.—By a recent decision of ths Post office department, printed bill heads and statements filled out with a pen can be sent for one cent postage, to any part of the Uni'ed States, whereas if made on unprinted paper they cost three cents STOCK AND DAIKY.—Messrs. Farnsworth Newcomb and J. Edmonds, of Hancock have formed a co-partnership for the pur pose of stock and dairy farming. The Meadow Farm," as it will called, is lo catea in the south-west portion of Pope county. BURNED.—The Ortonville Star says, that a prairie fire in Browns Valley destroyed the house and barn of Mr. E. S. Beck e are sorry to hear of this as it is but a couplc of weeks since Mr. Beck lost a fine span of horses. Misfortunes however never come singly. WORK.—Seeding operations are going forward, and the ground is in fair condi tion. Sunday's storm caused a delay of one or two days, but this has been the only interruption for the past ten days.

CHANGE OF BASE.—Ode Tewksbury had force employed yesterday, in moving his building on to the adjoining lots. The barber shop will now be found in the rear of Walkers. An addition is to be added to the building which will make it more roomy and add to its appearance. Game is very plenty in this vicinity, and our hunters are bagging quite a number of ducks, geese and crane. Chickens are re ported to be quite numerous, and should the season be favorable for batching, the prospects are flattering for good sport, and an abundance of game next season. Some of tbe railroad employees say they will soon be thousand-aires, as the freight and passenger boom allows them to turn in overtime sufficient to add three days to each week. Thirty-six days a month is good working hours, but the boys say they can hold it down, as tbe pay comes right along. FLOOD.—Eddy,ourstationer, was almost drowned out Monday morning. Sunday' storm filled the upper portion of his building with snow, and as soon as it began to thaw there was trouble among the periodicals baby wagons and other fruit. However by promptly moving the stock there was no damage except to the plaster. RIVERSIDE MILL.—Work on the repairs at the dam, is making satisfactory pro gress. The old mud sills have been taken out and the new ones are being put in place. If no unforeseen delay occurs, the mill will be ready for work in a couplc of weeks. The great depth of water in the channel necessarily makes the work slow BOOM.— The prospect of work on the Morris Branch, is drawing large numbers of laborers to this section, and from pres ent indications, we would judge that there will be the livliest kind of lively linils in this vicinity during the coming summer Our business men will doubtless reap much profit from the boom, as the most of tbe trading will be done here. SILLY.—Perhaps a man dont feel cheap when he growls at an editor about what never appeared in his paper. It is more sensible for people to read a newspaper first, before tbey make fools of themselves by grumbling at an improbable and imag innry item some wag has gulled them into believing actually appeared in the paper Go soak thy soft head, and dou't believe all you arc told. PINAKORK,—The manager of an opera troupe has been corresponding with parties |ii this village, with a view to presenting the famous opera, "Pinafore," to a Morris audience. We would all like to see this popular piece, but as a guarantee of $200 was asked, and no one could be found who would be responsible for any such amount, we'll have to go without auy Pinafore for the present. IIORSE TRADE.—This has been a good season for selling horses, as the demand lias been quite brisk. Several car loads have been disposed of already, at this point, and it is not unlikely that several more will be wanted to supply the demand for the breaking seasou. Good prices have been realized, and the auimals have been, as a rule, of a superior breed to those usually brought here. LOST FULL, FOUND, M. T.—Last Friday Tim. Murphy had the misfortune to lose a pocket book containing $35 00 in cash and several orders and other valuable papers. On Tuesday tho pocket book was fouud and returned, put in a sadly dilapidated condition aud minus all the cash aud part of the notes and orders. The loss is not large, outside of the cash, as. the orders were not negotiable. At long at last, there is a probability of having a new bridge over the Pom me dc Terre, on the Glenwood road. It is high time the old rickety structure which now spans the river, was replaced by something more durable aud safe. The site for the new bridge should not be located until the road is established, but it will be difficult to decide as to where it will be most con venient, as there appears to be a wide dif ference of opinion. NEW DEAL.—-Elsewhere appears an ad vertisement which announces the fact that Mr. Clias. Wilson lias perfected arrange ments for opening an exclusive clothing, and gents furnishing establishment. Mor ris has long felt the need of a store of this description, as it is only by making a spec! alty of one line of goods, that customer's can always find just what they want. The stock will be large, well selected and care fully assorted, so that large and small, thick, broad, skinny and gaunt, can all get suited, aud be suited. ROAD AND RAIL.—A number of engin eers or surveyors in charge of chief engin eer Miller, arrived on Monday evenings train. The force will go to work at once locating the line, and from what can be learned the junction will be one mile be low town, or near the 158 mile post. This is as near as it can come without going through and across lots, and from what we know of the matter it is about as close as any of us want it. Our Graceville corres pondent tells what is being done by the company out west. BILLED TO ST. PAUL.—A long, lank, skinny specimen of the genus homo, evi dently a native of Hoop-pole county, Iudi ana, was seen sitting at the depot, the other day, impatiently waiting for the first train to come along and carry him away. On being asked as to why he was so anxious to leave this favored locality, he said "he'd be dashed if he'd live iu any town where there were so few Generals, Colonels, Ma jors aud Judges." As he evidently wanted more tone and titles, fuss and feathers, we told him to go aud see Fairchild, in St. Paul. VALUE or LAND.—Few people in a new country, have any idea of the actual mar ketable value of their land, and the only way to form any correct estimate, is to base calculations on a bona fide sale. Mr. C. Cogel recently disposed of one hundred and sixty acres of improved land, for the sum of $3,200, or .$20 per acre. The land is four or five niile-TTrom towu, and is about the same quality as other lands in this vicinity, so it will be safe to say that farms in this county are worth from $15 to $40 per acre according to location. IN DURANCE VII-E.—Deputy sheriff R. Major, of Ortonville, arrived ^Tuesday having in charge a youth named James O'Xcil, who was committed for stealing $125 from a man named Frank Slechter O'Neil was safely deposited iu the pill box where he will remain until the June term of district court, unless he should secure bail, which is not very probable. O'Neil it appears was sleeping in a room with a number of others, and abstracted the wealth from under Slechtcrs pillow He was at once recognized by the marshal as an old offender, and one who inflicted this village with his presence last summer. WINDY.—It blew a hurricane last Sunday night, in fact it was one of the severest storms we have ever seen on the prairies To give an illustration of the force of the gale, we will only say that it actually mov ed a well four feet. Now some may be in clined to think that this is not the case but we can prove it. Mr. J. D. Good had a shed built over a well in his yard last fall, and the well wa9, prior to Sunday night, situate in the south-east comer of that shed, but on Monday morning it was moved out four feet. If you dont believe it we can show you the exact spot where Mr. Good stood when he told us of is a good school," we should not fail to profit by its teachings. Wlieu it is possible to have good stock on our farms, it is surely more profitable than to waste tinw and money in breeding and raisiug a lot of an imals that will never bo classcd, except as 'scrubs." DISCHARGED.—A man named August Anderson who was committed to jail for an alleged assault upon the persou of u Mrs. Elizabeth Peterson, of Aitichoke Lake, was upon motion of the County At torney, released from custody as the papers were defective. The complaint is a won derful piece of compoiitiou, and charges Anderson with crimes sufficient to hang an ordinary man, and is as lengthy and elabo rate as it is defective iu form and ortho graphy, which is saying a good deal for its "redundant verbiage." Anderson claims Mrs. Peterson is crazy, and certainly if his version of the affair is true, aud it is plausible, it leaves little doubt but that she is non compos mentis. this unprecedented occurrence. LETTER-ARY.—The amount of mail mat ter received can be taken as good proof of the intelligence of a community, and of the amount of business transacted. One of the mail agents on this line is authority for the statement that "Morris receives more mail than any station on this division, west of Minneapolis. Litchfield is next in or der, but although there is not a great dif ference in the amount, yet Morris leads This point leads Willmar nearly two to one." We always did bet on Morris, and although we don't crow very often, or very loud, yet we feel it in our bones, that we have the bulge over our neighbors, as a lively, vigorous and prosperous town BONANZA FARMS.—Stevens county has. perhaps, within its borders more large tracts of land under cultivation, and owned by individuals, than any other county in the State. The following list comprises few of the names of the bonanza farmers of this county, and also the acreage eacli has at present under cultivation: Farns worth Newcomb, 2,500 E. T. Archi bald, 2,400 E. J. Jones, 1,000 F. Corlis 600 R. H. Wellington, 1.400: G. M. Gilti nan, 1,100 C. Cogel, 800 Dr. Heenan 800 I. Donnelly, 800 D. R. Sutnerland 1,200 Kenner Moore, 500 J. C. Mc Cartliy, 750 C. Phelps, 000 KerwiuL 820 G. W. Newall, 800 D. 0, Lindsley, 500. To HORSEMEN.—One of the finest Nor man stallions iu this State is owned by our townsman Dr. T. E. Henan, and we would call the attention of farmers and others to a card elsewhere published, which gives the dates on which the horse is in town terms, etc. We will not attempt to give lengthy description of this fine horse, but will only ask that farmers and others ca.l and see him, and examine, his many good points and pedigree. That the "best is al ways the cheapest" is an anxiom, the truth of which is fully demonstrated by our every day wperien^, and ^ixpcricilbi IMPOUNDED.—Pound Master Noel was busy last Saturday, collecting and locking up all cattle running at large on the streets. As usual, a good many people were mad because their stock were captured, but they have uo occasion to be, as ample notice was given of the intention of the Council to en force this ordinance. Few have any idea of the large amount of damage done by cattle. Gardens are trampled up, trees aud shrubbery destroyed or damaged, fences brokeu, etc. This is not all either, farmers make many complaints that they cannot leave their teams without having their horses gored, sacks torn, grain spilled, and auy produce left iu their wagons is sure to be iujured, if not spoiled. It is but right that the ordinances should be enforced, and it is done not to cause the owners trouble or annoyance, but to protect inno cent parties. When the famous Napoleon was sent to the island of Elba, he took for his motto, the words "Ubicunque felix," which being translated means, happy anywhere Now we thiuk this would be a beautiful acd ap propriate motto for the tramps, for they have the happy faculty of adapting them selves to circumstances and cold victuals, with the same easy nonchalance as they take everything, misfortune and other peo ples property included. They are at home anywhere, iu a parlor or a jail, and if they ever do borrow, it is something more use ful than trouble, and which like time never returns. The tramps, ns we have said, should have Napoleon's boastful words for a motto, but come to think over the sub ject we are iuclined to the belief that it would be more iu accord with the wishes of the majority, to have this historic apophthegm engraved on a plate—a coffin plate. SIC E.m.—There are rumors, and we ex pectthat there is considerable truth in some of them, to the effect that Traverse County is cursed, audits future somewhat blighted, by a crowd of lawless thieves and ruffians who have settled on lands near the Dakota liue. They are said to be a crowd that was routed out, by the soldiers, from the vicini ty of Foster City, D. T., and are not of a class to be desired in any community Some of the settlers in that vicinity arc dis gusted with the lawless acts of this gaug of mauraders aud propose to organize a vigil ance society, aud rout every last one of them out of the country. Soc et tu em will be the motto, and tar, feathers and a noose the means employed. A vigorous, indis ariminate and iiberal use of these extern! nators will doubtless rid the County of these worthies, although we would advise that legal means be first employed, aud have no doubt but a jury of farmers would strike terror into the hearts of these evil doers. STOP IT.—Tliero is too nuch dog-gone foolishness about this weather business, and if there is not a change some one will get hurt. We confidentially auuounce in oue issue that "spring time has come, gentle Aunic," aud the very next issue we have either to acknowledge that we dont know and never will know any thing about the d. g. weather anyhow, or else stand right up and lie to save our reputation, of course we lie outright, but while we may wander occasionally from the path of truth, this wholesale business is wearing, and if we are to go on much longer there will be a square backdown. Last Saturday we look ed arcund with a confident, I-told you so sort of a gaze on Sunday, we weakened but on Monday when we rose from our virtuous couch, and saw that some bungler had turned on the February faucet aud given us a "blizard" instead of April show ers, we jammed our hat over our eyes and cut across the back lots, feeling as if life was a sham. WORK COMMENCED ON THE MOR RIS AND IROWN'S. VALLEY BRANCH OF TIIE ST. P. M. M. A TALK WITHD~C. SHEPHERD A representative of the Tribune called on Mr. D. C. Shepherd, the genial and an ergetic contractor, and intimated that he would like to ask him a few questions Mr Shepherd said "he always carried ro volver in his hip pocket for just such occa sions, as he had a decided adversion to iu terviewers, and strongly objected to being cross examined." However lie concluded that the people should know something of what was going on, and in answer to ques tions he said, "that the work HAD COMMENCED." Sub-Coutracts have been let for the whole grading, and work will begin all along the line as soon as the engineers have the stakes driven. Two corps of surveyors are now in the field, and it will be but a short time ere the work will extend FROM MORRIS TO TIIE VALLEY. The Sub coutracts on which the' crews arc at work, are for ten miles east and ten miles west of Graceville, and DIRT COMMENCED TO FLY YESTERDAY As each ten miles of th4 line have been sub contracted the work will soou be fin ished, ant' from what is known of the con tractors, we should judge it will be but short time untill the line is all completed and the trains running. Messrs Shepherd Liuton are busy send ing forward crews and supplies to the vari ous stations, and as there is plenty of help to be obtained, there will be no delay.

L. J. ilcCoxuiick Chicago, Sept. 12. 1879. THE M'COHMICK The ItEAPER WOKK8. space these works occupy comprises about twenty-two acres, lying ou the north side of the t-outh branch of the Chicago Kiver, all of which, excepting about three acres that are covered by the buildings, is used for railroad tracks, for stables, and for piling lumber, pig iron, aud other materials. The dilferent manufacturing building are located iu the shape of a rectangle, liavini a frontage to the north and south of 85? feet, and to the east and west of 460 feet, covering and inclosing a space of over three acres. Without going further into detail, it may be observed that tbe floor of the sur face of these several buildings is 801,450 square feet, or about seven acres and in the several different departments of the fac tory ths firm have kept as in auy as 1,000 employees at work. The season just closed has bettl a good one. and no less than 25, 000 machines have been sold. These ma chines have been disposed of in all the great wheat-growing States in the Union, from seaboard to seaboard, from Texas to Manitoba. Nothing can better illustrate the popularity of the McCormick self-bind er, and at the same timo show the growth of the State, than the fact that 5,492 MACHINES were sold during the past season in tbe Stale of Minunesota. On McCornuck'e ledger .Minnesota leads the United States— she is to that establishment indeed the ban ner State. In 1856 McCormick sold ten mir chines in that State one agent writes that he will sell 2,000 the coming year. The firm are at present employing 800 bauds, and during the biisy season have run the factory night and day. It might be inter esting to note, as an item of news, that the firm have a very extensive trade with Great Britain aud the European countries gener ally, as well as with Australia, New Zea land, South America, an.l South Africa It will give some idea of the popularity of the McCormick machines abroad as well as at home to say that oue year's shipment to New Zealand filled 116 freight cars—the largest single shipment of agricultural im plements, we velure to say, ever made at one time on a single order from auy estab lishment in the world. Mr. McCormick in the World's Fair The Mark Lane Express, of Aug. 12,1879, gives the following very interesting and ably written account of the McCormick Binder: ''It cuts, a breadth of five feet, the cut grain falling upon a horizontal platform of endless web canvas, or, as the Americans call it, 'ducking' carrying ribs of wood This carries the grain toward the rear side, where it passes upward at an acute angle almost perpendicularly, between endless webs, to a height of nearly five feet, thus rising over the main wheel, framing and driving gear: and the stuff, delivered in a continuous stream, falls over upon a hor izontal table: a binding arm, placed about midway along the side of the table, advan ces toward the falling grain, strikes down ward through it, separating^ portion for HARDWARE.

From that date to the Paris Exposition, of 1878, he has tak en the first prize at every one of the world's fairs. It has been shown above that to Mr. McCormick was awarded at the recent Par is Exposition the highest honors ever given an inventor, and in the recent severe trial Sor the golden medal of the lioyal AgricuV tural Society of England, ns usual, the Mc Cormick machine came out ahead and was awarded the gold medal for it fulfilled the conditions laid down.

Nothing can ex ceed the smoothness and unerring perfec tion of this arrangement for binding. The sheaves are drunped with the greatest regularity, lying in line, longitudinally, or in the direction of tbe machine's course, with the butt ends foremost, and they are seme feet clear of tbe horse track. The wire band is joined by a twist in two places on opposite sides of the sheaf, leav ing the twisted ends sticking out for about a couple of inches. The special merit of the work was in its perfect collection of all the wheat, scarcely an car being dropped thus absolutely the whole of the crop is bound in the sheaves, leaving nothing at all to be raked lip, and perhaps not more than ft handful per acre for gleaners.
