The Bryan Pilot says:
There is not one word in the " remarks
*t the Pilot " to justif • tho inference of the
news that it supposed that Judge Ford
had the right to try the case upon its mer-
its, and determine the guilt or innocence
of Dr. Erwin of the charge alleged
ftgainst him. The IHlot does hold, howav-
®r, that Judge Fol d may properly inquire
into the legality of the requisition, and
that the order of the governor for the ren-
dition of che prisoner is "subject to be
overruled by a judge."
The Pilot continues, however, to dis-
cuss the merits of the case, and it un-
dertakes to show that the accused is not
gulty of the charge on which he was ar-
rested, or has compromised the matter,
and should therefore be released. The
Pilot certainly seems to imply that it
holds it right for a Texas judge to con-
sider whether or not a party is guilty of
a crime alleged to have been committed
in Illinois, and to set him free from cus*
tody under an order of the governor of
the state. The Pilot denies the statement
fchat Dr. Erwin's attorney had gone to
Illinois for the purpose of making an
effort to get the governor of that state to
revoke the requi>ition under which the
doctor had been arrested by order of the
governor of Texas, and says:
We learn from Dr. Erwin (the prisoner)
himself, Cnpt. Beall went to Illinois for no
such purpc j, but went direct to Chicago
to get at tiie '* true inwardness " of the
complaint filed there against the doctor,
and upon which the requisition proceeded!
Dr. Erwin d-termined to iri"ur the ex-
pense of dispatching to the scene of action
an attorney v hose experience and apti-
tude might enau. him to get at the bottom
of the whole matter.
The Austin Staic&mm professes some
contempt for pedagogues, but has
waked up one in the shape of a teacher
of grammar at Lampasas who. through
his next friend, comes back on the criti-
cism of the S a'esman. with interest. ar;d
gets the best of the argument. y«ws-
toaper men know something of every
thing, but not quite enough of any par-
ticular br inch of learning to get away
"with real experts in it. People ought
to be too polite to answer back when
they are criticised by the press:
The Bryan Pilot is in favor of due
vigilance in warding off yellow fever,
and says:
To make a sure thing of it. we think
Galveston is right in quarantining against
New Orleans. There is a heavy responsi-
bility resting on the board of health of
that city, charged as it is not only with
the safety of their immediate citizens, but
In a measure with that of thousands of
people in the interior who expect Galv es-
toa to use their dilig : e to shut out from
the state the dread destroyer. It is a diffi-
cult matter to sustain a strict quarantine
at New Orleans against infected districts
in the interior, and it is not sale for Gal-
veston to rely upon New Orleans for pro-
tection.
On the same subject the Brenliam
Sentinel remarks:
"We are not disposed to wrangle with our
wrangling friends of the bayou and gulf,
but we are clearly of the opinion that Gal-
veston is perfectly innocent of spite or
grudge in this quarantine against New
Orleans. We see no reason why we may
not reasonably suspect the same results at
fcfew Orleans as we now see at Memphis.
Until it is definitely certain that there is
no danger, we say let the quarantine
Stand.
The Fort Worth Democrat says:
That "malarial fever'' note from New
Orleans sounds suspiciously. Let the
!hanks of the state go out to (Galveston for
ier promptness. When the fever at Mem-
ihis seemed to have subsided, the physi-
cians who had advised flight were de-
nounced as idiots. So Galveston now is
berated by envious cities for Quarantining
New Orleans. The lives of the people of
Texas were dearer to Galveston than the
praise of Houston or New Orleaus, and we
are glad to record it. The people of Texas
feel and believe that they were saved from
the scourge last year by quarantine, and
heartily indorse the action of Galveston.
We do not want our homes blighted ana
our material interests ruined. Self-pre-
servation is the first law of nature, and
Galveston crn afford to abide the imputa-
tions of a rival seaport if it contributes to
feave Texas from desolation and ruin.
The Brownsville Democrat gives a dis-
couraging view of the sanitary condition
of that place, though it still enjoys good
health:
On every street and alley are signs of it.
Piles of watermelon rinds are deposited on
every corner: manure is hauled into the
streets and dumped therein; decaying
matter, fetid and reeking, is used for the
purpose of 44 filling in."
The Democrat does well to protest
against the continuance of such disease-
provoking practices. They are not con-
fined to Brownsville.
The trimmings now constitute the
heaviest part of the cost, either of a
calico dress or a little suit at law. The
Marshall Herald says:
There is no state in the Union where the
court cost bills are so large as in Texas.
The money of course all goes to the offi-
cers. We know of two cases, one in this
county, and t 3 other in Marion, in which
Sarties for technical violations of law were
ned one dollar and costs, and in each case
the defendent had to pay over to the mag-
istrate $32. This was a great hardship,
Ks the defendents were both very poor>
The Herald descants on the obvious
tnanipulations of the laws in favor of
office-holders, and holds the legislature
tip to just censure for the fact; but even
the legal fees do not satisfy some offi-
cers, and serious complaints are made of
extortion in some cases.
Long ago it was said to be sweet and
decent to die for one's country, but
most people find it sweeter to serve the
public living, and win glory by paths
that do not lead to the grave. The edi-
tor of the Morris county. Banner is
proud that the opportunity has come for
him to do the state, or rather the coun-
try, some service. He says he'has long
longed for a chance to prove his patriot-
ism to the world. He was too young to
serve in the last war, and hopes to be
too old for the next; he has not been
called on to sacrifice his private interest
pid self-respect by running for office;
hut he continues:
Wp can now render service to the peo-
ple. We can display our energy in work-
ing for the public. The chance came this
Way: The other day one of our enterpris-
ing road overseers rushed into our office
and said: l' I come to summon you to be
at Mr. Alden's on Tuesday morning to
work the road. Come early, and bring a
grubbing hoe."
Yet the ungrateful public servant
adds:
And before we could utter a word he
passed out the door aud was gone. And
as he meandered bis way across the public
square we gazed after his fading footsteps
and thought how nice it would be if we
■were only about three feet behind him
and had the pewer of a healthy mule's
hind leg vested in the toe of our boot so
that we might give the messenger of fame
a lift in the world. Of course we'll be
there at daylight. T>"e love to serve the
country.
A gpice of the old rebel element lin-
gers in that young man. Like as not
"when the roll is called he will be marked
absent; then he will be jerked up and
fined, with the privilege of working
out the amount on the roads in addition
to the labor already due. Then he will
curse the road law, get the town incor-
porated to avoid working the roads, and
fce tased out of his type, press, boors
end breeches. It is thus that great e vils
grow out of the neglect of small duties.

EL PASO.
A correspondent of ihe San Antonio
Express writes: Messrs. S. and A.
Scliutzc, nephews of the elder Schutzes,
and Mr. Ochoa and brother, all mer-
chants: Mr. Hineman, acting postmas-
ter; and Mr. Sender, with S. Sehutze &
Bro., are the representative business men
of Franklin. Mr. John Tays, ex-lieu-
tenant of the state rangers, has fitted
up a resort where one can get refresh-
ments for the inner man that is second
to none in San Antonio. Antonio Hart,
Esq., is running a grist-mill above the
town, and upon whose land the govern-
ment has decided to build the post at
this point. Pedro Dieuce and Emilio
Ducliene are the principal merchants of
El Paso. Texas. I was disappointed in
El Paso. The tow n ha> gone to decay,
and old, dilapidated buildings are the
rule. With few exceptions, all the
buildings are sUghtly out of repair, but
when the railroad gets here the old town
will revive. There is some litigation in
regard to titles in Franklin, and many
are investing in real estate in Ysleta and
on this side of the river. San Eiizario.
twenty-two miles down the river, is the

history of which is, as I learn, yet un
written, tli" place has lost its prestige,
the only white family living there beitii
that of Mr. Tom Collins. Don Ramon
Ortiz, the priest, is, without doubt, the
most prominent person in El Paso. The
venerable padre is the same good man
who was instrumental in having the
Aifierican prisoners relea-ed in Chihua-
hua in lbi8. The state of Texas re"
cognizing his valuable services, pre-
sented him with a large tract of laud.
Have just returned from don Emilio
Duclienes's vineyard, and have come to
the conclusion that it will take one a
long time to see the nice places hid
among the adobes of El Paso. The legal
profession of Franklin is represented by
J. P. Ilaik, Esq., W. W. Mills and
Capt. Cook.
GRIMES.
Corn is suffering from the drouth, and
cotton will soou do h*o unless we have
rain.
DESTOJt.
Newcastle Tablet: About Plantersville
the general estimate of corn crop is
about 10 bushels per acre, and it is
thought by some that the drouth has al-
ready cut down the cotton one half ar
least, an -. with about one-half the usual
amount in cultivation, things must nec-
essarily look gloomy.

Soldiers are being kept on the move
scouting through the country after Mexi-
can hors« thieves and Indians... .Three
companies of IT. S. soldiers have gone
out to cut a road from San Felipe to
f rt Stockton. The route is to cross
Devil's river near its junction wUh the
Rio Grande, and crosses the Pecos about
twelve miles above the junction... .Del
Rio is the precinct seat of prccinet No.
4, Kinney county, being about thirty
miles west of Brackett, it is situated on
the San Felipe creek, about two miles
and a half from its entrance into the
Rio Grande river, in a beautiful little
plateau formed on both sides of the
creek and gradually sloping towards the
Rio Grande, and it may justly be called
the metropolis farm of the west. There
are enough buildings here to make a
right livel}' village if the were arranged
together so that they could all be seen at
once, but they are scattered here and
there for two or three miles. Mexicans
and negroes live in a number of jacales,
chamacueroa and mpos, built in a nook
on the east side of the creek.

Jewett Advance: The negroes held an
exodus meeting at Reed's mill, seven
miles south of Jewett, Wednesday, and
concluded to send a representative from
this county to Kansas, to find out what
inducements are held out to them, etc.
... .For the pas! week we have inquired
of farmers from all sections of the
county about the crops, and from what
we find out there is not more than a
half crop of corn raised. But the fact
that there is a large mast, and some old
corn on hand, will make breadstuff
plentiful for next year. If we have a
rain within the next eight or ten days
the cotton crop will be unusually good.

STEPHENS.
Breckinridge Texan: Last Sunday
after 12 o'clock the thermometer reached
110 in the shade. The breeze blowing
at the time felt like the bre ith of a fur-
nace. .. Last Saturday evening the Tonk-
away Indians, 35 or 80 in number, with
drums and other noisy instruments, at-
tracted quite a large crowd on the
square. The Indians then engaged in a
dance, at the same time chanting a weird
song and beating time on their instru-
ments. The dancing was remarkable
for its long continued sameness and lack
of variation, but the time was perfect.
Had Cooper ever witnessed a Tonkaway
war dance it is possible that some of his
books in which the noble red man fig-
ures so conspicuously, would never have
been written. The poor fellow would
have vomited himself all away Mr.
W. M. McCreary, while feeding a thresh-
er near Crystal Falls, las; Saturday, had
his left hand caught in the machinery
and badly lacarated. It was thought
that amputation would be necessary
The abolition of the Stephens county
court creates some dissatisfaction in
town. The people here knew nothing
of the matter until the bill had passed.
WHAHTON.
Correspondence of Richmond Reflec-
tor : Corn is virtually made, and the
yield, it is calculated, will be more than
ample to supply home dsmands, with
some for the markets. Cotton is fruit-
ing rapidlv and retaining its forms well.
Present indications and probabilities are
that a good crop of cotton will be made
in Wharton county this year. Cotton
picking is now the order of the day;
pickers are in demand and at remuneia-
tive prices. Worms reported to have
made their appearance, but not in num-
bers to do injury so long as the weather
continues as now—dry and hot.
WASHINGTON.
A letter to the Banner from Long
Point says: A heavy rain foil last Thurs-
day- north of us, extending within & mile
of" this pUee, filling the brandies and
sloughs . The exodus problem seems
to be assuming definite ghape in the
Chappell Hill neighborhood.' It seem
that t lie negroes have become dissatisfied
wi n their condition, and some have de-
termined to emigrate, The citizens ad-
vise them to go, and promise to aid
them in getting off. A committee on
immigration was appointed, and it is
prob ible a movement looking to the se-
curing of reliable white labor will be
inaugurated.
wichita.
Wichita joins Clay county on the east.
Archer on the south, Wilbarger on the
west, and is separated from the Indian
teiritory by Red river on the north. The
fears of Indian depredations has been
up to within a few years a drawback to
its settlement. TLere being no longer
any fears of Indians, it is being settled
up and developed quite rapidly, and
surely no county in northwest Texas
offers greater inducements to the farmer
and stock-raiser. The valleys of Red
river on the north and of Big Wichita
river, which Hows through the southern
part of iha county. together with tha
lands along their numerous tributaries,
comprise an area of thousands of acres
of land as beautiful and as fertile as can
be found anywhere in or out of Texas.
The prices of land in the county range
from one to three dollars per acre, and
many tracts of the finest valley lands
can be bought for one and one-half and
two dollars per acre. We have a healthy
climate, pure air and good water, ana
timber in quantities sufficient for all
practical purposes. There i3 some talk
of organizing our county this fall. This,
however, will most probably be effected
next spring. Messrs Pratt & Robinson
have already located the town of Avon,
which is intended for the county seat.
It is within two mile3 of the center of
the eounty, and beside being a favorable
location with reference to the conve-
nience of the people of the county, it is
one of the most beautiful sites for a
town that could be selected. Small
capitalists will find Avon a favorable
point, and this an opportune time to en-
ter into and lay the foundation of some
branches of the mercantile business.
The late rains have brightened the
prospects of farmere in this section.
Corn will average about thirty bushels
to the acre. The few farmers "who have
grown wheat crops on the Big Wichita
river bottoms report some twenty-five
and others thirty bushels per acre, and
have developed the f ct of the great su-
periority-of these lands for the produc-
tion of that cereal. w. s. w.

[San Franjisco Argonaut.]
The clerical looking gentleman and
the bearded borderer were the only pas-
sengers on the Carson stage, seven hours
out, en route to Bodie. They occupied
the upper seat behind the driver, and the
tenor of their conversation indicated that
there was a slight misunderstanding be-
tween them—a misunderstanding that
neither of them seemed capable of gath-
ering up the threads of a skein that was
momentarily becoming more and more
tangled as some new phase on the sub
ject under discussion was broached.
" When I was there," the clerical geD-
tleman was iemarking, " the vineyard
was in a deplorable state."
"The vineyard!" interrupted his
bearded companion.
*' Yes, the Lord's vineyard, I mean.
The weeds were "
"Hold on a minute, stranger," ex-
claimed the other, hitching in his seat,
and turning so as to face his companion,
" hold yerliosses. I ain't much on this
parable palaver, an' I come mighty nigh
givin' ye the lie on thet vineyard biz-
ness 'cause ye see ther ain't no sech
'ithin five miles o' the camp. Maybe
there's a few down to Salt Lake, but
nobody ever was fool 'nough to think o'
speculatin' in vineyards 'round my
neighborhood. But it's all right, now,
I've cottoned to the rights- o' the case,
an' I'm drawin' my sights onto Lord's
vineyard."
" As I was saving," resumed the
other "outside," "1 found the field of
labor in a deplorable condition. The
weeds had long since choked the wheat,
and tares were flourishing with a luxu-
riance that might well sadden the heart
of the most earnest husbandman.
Human sacrifices were frequent in the
interior, and barbarous executions for
the most trivial offenses were of weekly
occurrence along the coast. I attended
one of these executions, and if I am not
too tedious in my narration I will relate
the circumstances of the horrible affair.
Are you agreeable?"
" Go ahead ol' man, I'm listenin'. I
like to hear man tell a good one while
he's at it," and the bearded passenger
hitched back to his former position and
asked the driver for a '' chaw o' that
nigger heel."
" Well, it appears that the unfortu-
nate man was condemned to death for
poaching on the king's preserves. They
had adjudged him guilty and sentenced
him to be beheaded, and a more pitiable
wretch it has never been my misfortune
to contemplate, as he passed out of the
prison iuto the open court where he was
to be executed. He was made to kneel
and bend his neck, after which the exe-
cutioner dipped his hand in a tub of
water, and drawing his middle and fore-
finger through the sand upon which the
doomed man was kneeling, applied them
to the naked neck of the shivering
wretch, leaving a broad and distinct
mark at which to strike. He then raised
his great, double-edced sword, and with
one blow the head Fell from the trunk,
while the great stream of blood crimsoned
the sand."
The clerical gentleman paused in as-
tonishment. His fellow-passenger was
staring at him with a strange expression
upon his sun-browned features, which
the narrator at first imagined was the
result of intense interest, but which he
gradually observed was produced by a
disgusting disbelief in the statements
which he had just been making. He cut
himself short for the purpose of allow-
ing his hearer an opportunity of reliev-
ing his overcharged mind, knowing full
well that if he did not the bearded man
would explode, and render the situation
decidedly unpleasant, to say the lea«t.
The man of the border made a great
effort to control himself, and in a tone
plainly indicating that he forced a calm-
ness he was far from feeling, simply to
"cinch "the man who sat beside him,
and prove to the grinning driver that no
man could with impunity '' put up a job
on him."
"That's the frozen truth, is it stran-
ger?" he asked.
" Every word I have uttered is the
truth. I witnessed the sickening spec-
tacle in the broad glare of a tropical
sun, and I did not lose a single move-
ment in the barbarious tragedy," an-
swered the other " outside."
" What's your line? " abruptly asked
the man with the beard.
" My profession? "
"The same."
"I am an evangelist—a missionary."
"Oh, you're a preacher, eh? "
' A minister of the gospel—yes."
" What shop? "
" Shop?"
" Yes; w'ich track are ye travelin'—
how's yer baggage checked? "
" I don't believe I understand you."
"No? Well, what church are you
swearin' by? "
" I am a baptist."
"Good enough. Baptist goes. You
say you was on the missionary racket
w en you saw all this? "
'• I v, as engaged in the task of at-
tempting to convert the heathen from
blin ue-s, and teaching him the path he
should follow to attain everlasting
glory."
" Heathen is good, too, but wait a
minute and I'll tackle thet remark.
What I want to know, was you givin'
those heathens, ez you call 't m, the true
bizness on the ten commandments?"
" 1 was inculcating the divine law
which Moses received amid the thunders
of Sinai."
" Kerrect; an' maybe ye give em the
bizness about liftin' a man when he calls
ye a liar?"
" I did not counsel violence upon any
pretext whatever; on the other hand I
taught that lying was sinful."
'' Kerrect again, stranger; yer workia'
'round to my side o' th:- shanty, and I
guess I'll fetch ye into camp purty soon.
Ye told 'em lyin' wasn't a squar' game?"
" I told them that a liar could not
hope to be saved."
" Tol' 'em a liar couldn't hope to be
saved? You Baw that duck get down on
his marrer bones?"
"I saw the criminal kneel down—
yes."
"Ye saw the other sharp '1th a two
edge sword make mtfi an' piaster the

"You saw the sword-sharp chop his
head off ?"
"Yes."
" Shy, stranger, look here ; I reckon.
I've got vou tigliter'n a Mexican cinch.
I'm thinkin' you've tangled yerself up
in yer own lariat. What year was you
out thar, anyhow ?"
" I went out in 1874 ; but, my friend,
I can t see what you are endeavoring to
accomplish by this question and cross-
question. "
" I'll show ye afore I git through

How Parrot's Learn lo Talk,
[London Lancet.]
The interesting sketch of the History
of My Parrot, which Dr. Wilks con-
tributes to the current number of the
Journal of Menial Science, deserves a
passing notice. Tiie comparative study
of the facts of intercommunication
among men and among animals necessi-
tates the admission that animals possess
language; and the mechanism and appa-
ratus for articulate speech in those ani-
mals which possess it do not differ from
those of man. A bird learns to speak
by immitation, through the organs
of hearing, aiid in a manner very
similar to that in which children
learn words and sentences, and the
bird*speaks on special occasions in con-
sequence of some association or sug-
gestion, " the usual provacative for set
speeches at all periods of human life,"
A new expres ion, after having been
repeatedly uttered before the parrot,
is practiced by it spontaneously, inde-
fatigably working at the sentence itself.
At lirst it is only able to get out the
first word or two, then more and more,
until it has the power of uttering the
whole. In just the same way a child
will learn a French sentence. A sen-
tence is soon lost by the parrot if not
frequently uttered, and the last words
are lost first; the first words—those most
readily acquired—are lost last. Speech
of the bird on any given occasion
is due to suggestion—the presence of
the person or object with which the
words were first associated. Of this
Dr. AVilkes gives several striking in
stances as "half past two" whenever
the coachman comes for or-
ders, "go to sleep" when approached
after dark, "give me a bit" when din-
ner appears, and "cheese" when the
cheese is put upon the table, a sound
like water being poured out whenever a
jug of water is brought in. Thus the
bird associates words or sounds with ob-
jects, and where the right names have
been taught it, may be said to know
their names; more, the bird invents
names, making a particular sound,
which had never been taught, whenever
nuts were put upon the table. The
sight of a cat makes the parrot say
" mew," as the sight of a train makes a
child " puff, puff." Dr. Wilks con-
cludes by remarking that the difference
between animals and children are much
slighter than are the explanations which,
on the assumption of instinct in the one
case and reason in the other, we put
upon them, and suggests that the chief
difference between man and aDimals is
to be found in the smallness of know-
ledge of the fine arts possessed by the
latter.
The contented rustic: "Well, Peter,
your crops must be ruined by this un-
timely rain?" " Yes, your honor, but,
thank heaven, so are the neighbors'."
NEW YORK LETTER.
Commercial and Financial Epitome,
[Special Correspondence of the News.]
New York, July 22.—There was a con"
tmued picking up of Marietta and Cincin-
nati shares at better prices, supposed to be
based on the improved prospects of the
road by the proposed opening of the great
central depot at Cincinnati of the Balti-
more and Ohio road; the quiet and import-
ant connection of the Baltimore and Ohio
with the Pittsburgh. Cincinnati and St.
Louis rood at Pittsburgh on Sunday la»t,
is also regarded as having a most valuable
bearing on all the western properties of
the Baltimore and Ohio road, and esp^
ciaiiy upon the Marietta and Ohio and the
Ohjo and Mississippi,which latter has been
for weeks regarded here as already vir-
tually a part of the Baltimore and Ohio
system, and to be so permanently here-
after.
Louisiana consols fell on the final pass-
age of the 2 per cent, interest for five
vears to 40. against yevterdav, with
sales of $40,000.
Exchange on London continues depress-
ed, and drawers report an increased sup-
ply of grain and other commercial bills;
these being in excess of the demand, and
there being also a disposition to anticipate
the cotton crop on the part of some, the
depressed condition of tho market is easily
explained. Calculations regarding col ton
bills, however, might mr-et with an un-
pleasant upset, should yellow JacJ* con-
clude to ride rough shod over the cotton-
growing states; it was so last year, and
what has been can be again. bixty day
bills were reported drawn this morning at
$-1 84, and demand at $4 80, both net,
against ?4 8504 87, the asking rates.

there is a fear that Germany is to reap-

Stock loans were renewed chiefly
at 3 per cent. The supply of
money continues ample, and country
bank balances large than otherwise.
The rate of money in England to day,
% of one per cent, is about the lowest
known in the history of that country, and
speaks volumes regarding the distrust and
stagnation that prevails.
An intimation that the Houston and
Texas Central securities were to be placed
on the official list caused an advance in tho
street bid for Western Diviaion to 103^*;
the main line was wanted at 103%.
One hundred shares of American coal
sold at 33. All the coals were firm but not
active, except Lackawanna.

COMMERCIAL.
receipts hare been free, but they were all
taken up at a cent advance.
Wool i* unchanged. Walter Brown &
Co.. of New York, report as fo lows:
The demand for wool since July 1 has
fallen off considerably from the active
trade for a few weeks previous. Manu-
facturers bought liberal supplies during
the oarly part of June, and now show a
disposition to limit their purchases to the
actual requirements of their machinery.
During: this period the receipts of fleece
wools nave been large, and a dosire on the
part of some holders to push sales has
caused a concession from previous rates.
It is the general opinion, however, that
a healthy tone will pervade the woo.en
goods trade during the season, and that a
steady consumptive demand for wools will
continue during the next few months
without any material change in prices.
There has been more enquiry tor medi-
um grades, although sales" have bfen
smaller than last month, and prices are
not quite so firm, especially on unwashed
wools.
LOS8ES AND GAINS IN THE WHEAT SPECU-
LATION.
With reference to the excitement in the
Chicago grain market last week, the Tri-
bune of that city says: " To a large num-
ber of the operators it was indeed a 4 black
Friday." It wr».s freely circulated on the
curbstone in the afternoon that one opera-
tor had lost l>etween and $100,001;
and during the greatest deprp^ion of the
market he s.v in an open window over-
looking the nervous and excited crowd in
theallev with about as much unconcern
depicted in his face as if he had only lost
as many cents. There were stories of
winnings of 310,000 to $15,000 by other
operators who happened to be on ihe
lucky side of the deal. Onel'of the pecul-
iarities of the day was" the scarcity
j of '.-ash wheat. Tiie arrivals of No.
2 spring added up only 15 car
j lo.'ds—about 0000 bushels—and an enter-
i yrisi.-.y exporter experience 1 gr at dilh-
v'llty ii, obtaining 8 <* ;rgo oi 2 >.C0J bush-
e s on C anadian account. Th< ir efforts to
duplicate the cargo were fruitless. This
woul.1 uidicate that the thr e millions of
No. 2 spring wheat now in store in thi ■. city
are in the hands of strong holders, men
who are financially able to carry grain
without being caih*d on for additional
marg.'is by the bankers.1'

There was a good trade done to-day,

New cotton is beginning to come in a
little more freely, and by the 15th day of
next month the fall trade will have been
fairly opened.
In the general market values of leading

effect is to increase the

food to properly as-
similate. Thus the sys-
tem is nourished, and
by their tonic action on
the digestive organs,
regular and healthy e-
vacuations are pro-
duced.
The rapidity irtth
which PERSONS TAKE
ON FLESH whue under
Uie inflaence of these
pills, indicates their a-
daptahility to nourish
the body, hence their
efficacy in coring ner-
vous debility, melan-

ing ^/the muscles.slng-
gishnese of the liver,
chronic constipation,
and imparting health <fc
