Love Missives.

One Philandcr Pierce, a colored resident of
Georgia, lived unhappily with his wife, and
she came alone to Chicago, where she has re-
ceived sharp letters from him. On Tuesday
afternoon, the clerks in the post Office at the
city named were thrown into CONSERVATION by
a series of agonized screams evidently coming
from woman. Hastening to the spot whence
the noise proceeded, they found Mrs. Pierce
speechless with terror, but able to point sig
nifcantly to green adder, then crossing the
floor, and seeking the air of perfect freedom.
Some of the men fed. but enough remained
firm to capture the serpent, which was taken
to the City Marshals Office. There explana-
tions cnsued. 1t seems that the woman had
found thin paste-board box and letter at
the Office, and had hastened to open the form
er, not doubling That it was guage of return
ing affection. She was surprised to hear from
within it slight hiss, and was quite transfix-
ed with horror, when from the uncovered pris-
on shot the ugly green head of the shake
just then she dropped the box and the screams
came in. The letter accompanying this infer
nal machine was hideously sarcastic, but not
otherwise entertaining. ~

pemand for Crpin in Eurone,

The London Mark Lane Express (onc OF
the most reliable English commercial t,aters)
contains an article ON this subject, from which
we condense the following facts Late events
have rendered to confirm the opinion which
was advanced few. weeks since, that the de-
ficiency in the produce of wheat would
amount to at least one-ffth, and even larger
i deficiency may be expected, on account of a
| smaller breadth of land than usual having been
sown. Under these circumstances, it. becomes
necessary. says the Express, to look around
fer supply from abroad !; and that PAPER
| then gives table of importatnns of wheat
during the past seven years, giving an average
of about thirty-cight million bushels per year !:
while in the last four years in three Of which
the harvests were above the ayerage--ztbe i'm
ports have run up to nearly forty millions
The harvests of the present year will, of
course, necessitnte large increase in the i'm
portation, while on the contrary the total i'm
ports so far are only twentt-six milliobs and
at the same rate for the remainder of the
year will only make thirty4eght and half
millions -or less tl,nn the usual average. AS
Eimportatons viii mostly cease during the win
ter, on account of the frost, unless greatly in
creased importations are made this fall, all
this will probably be consumed before the
ports open in the spring. The harvest in
northern France. has also been amnst equally
nnfavorab!e, and lie grain has been consider
ably damaged by tae incessant rams. 81. ..I..-
Happily, the people Of this country are
abnp,iantt able TO supply from their great
harvests any possible deficiency that may oc-

shipping to remove their surplus; and though
the high price Which some anticipate will
probably not be realized, yet there is Il good

The Secession Drovemsnt.

1t is amusing to see the antics which the
South Carolinians. Georgians, and Alabami-
ans are cutting up Like the Chinese, they
seem to imagine that they arc the favored Of
the human race, and, consequently, all outside
of their mighty little States are barbarialrs,
who can best be conquered by horrible COM
bination of discorlant sounds. Hence, their
great noise and confusion upon secession
and dissolying the Union. Instead, however,
of frightening the balance OF the Union, they
are only cutting off their own heads
During the Irish. insnrrection Of 1898, a
Dublin banker advanced funds to the Commits
sary OF the Government troops, with which to
purchase supplies. The Rebels were exceed
ingly indignant toward this banker for giving
aid and comfort TO the enemy, and so with
great parade they collected all the bank bills
issued by him, and solemnly burnt them up!
Just SO with the Southern Disunionists-.
To crafty their spite against the North they
are pursuing policy which is rapidly destroy
ing the credit of their States, as shown in the
decline of stocks. They are creating none
tary panic, compelling their banks to cease dis
counting and redeem the bills that are being
sent home to them, course that I'D many cases
close their doors. Property of all kinds, and
especially negroes, will fall. and cotton will
soon lie on she hands of the planters for want
OF banking facilities to get it to market, or if
it is moved forward it mus; be at reduced pri-
ces. To cap the climax tho merchants are ta-
king the Singular ground that secession will
cancel their indebtedness to New York mcr-
chantsl or course then the merchants from
the extreme South are preclnded from ever
buying goods on credit, TO make grand mil
ftary Demonstrations to- sustain secession mon
ey must be raised TO pay expenses. This can
not be done By way of loan, for their credit
is running down hill. Consequently. their
taxes will be increased largely, and the people
will rebel, which will soon knock the secession
movement in the head.-lIfo Dem. m -. -f.----
