Truth WILL OUT.-ODce upon time
nobleman gave great supper. While
the guests were at the table, two maskers
came into the hall who were no larger
than children five Or six years old-one
personatcd lord, the other a lady. Their
dress was as splendid as could be, and
they danced very skillfully, to the great
diversion of the guests Everybody said
they could not but admire the dexterity of
those polite children enough. Then an
old officer took an apple and threw it be-
tween the dancing couple. Suddenly the
lord and lady rushed after the apple as
though frantic. In the struggle, they
tore off each others masks, and behold !!
instead of children, they were couple of
monkeys. All the company at the table
laughed heartily, but the old oihcer said
very gravely: Monkeys and fools may
dress and dance splendidly, but the day
soon comes when it is known who they
are"
GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.-Said tipsy

his wavering form as vainly he essayed to
retain his seat in treacherous chair, and
readily answer made: ''To give the devil
his due, my love, is perfectly right, tbs
true; but what would become of you, my
love oh what would become of YOU 90
DoDGING CREDIToR.-A creditor,
whom he was anxious to avoid, met Sher-
idan coming out of Pail Mall There was
no possibility of avoiding him, but Sheri-
dan did not lose his presence of mind =

he. ''Do you think SO 2"a said the cred

TIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.


The Weekly Tribune has continued
to circulate a greater number of copies
than any other newspaper in the country.
| We appreciate this confidence, and shall
labor to retain, it. It's previous attractions
viii be continued and increased. The
main features Of our Weekly will be acri-
culture, literature, politics, and the mar
kets, with the latest summary Of the daily
news. We have made special arrange
ments to increase its usefulness as an
agricultural journal. The Farmers Club
Will be fully reported, and special articles
on agricultural topics contributed by the
best writers. No farmer who desires to
till the soil with profit, and to know the
progress constantly made in the science of
his calling, can afford to neglect the ad-
vantages of a newspaper like the Weekly
1rt67ne, especially when it unites with
agriculture other features of interest and
profit. The Weekly Tribune contains
summary of all that appears in the Daily
and Semi Weekly editions, while in addi-
ton 1t Is made to address itself to the
wants Of the great farming class. Reviews
OF all the new publications, and of all that
Is new in music and the fine arts letters
from all parts of the world-some of them
OF rare interest to the farmer, as showing
the progress of agriculture in other coun-
tries editorial essays on all topics of home
and foreign interest, together with full and
carefully reported reports Of the markets,
will be furnished from week to week, and
at lower price than that Of any newspa-
per in America BY pursuing this policy
the Weekly Tribune has already attained
its present commanding influence and cir
culation, and we enter upon the new year
with the assurance to our readers that no
pains and no expense Will be spared to
give it still greater usefulness and power,
and to make it welcome visitor to every
freside in the land.
| The Editor of the Tribune purposes to
write, during the year 1869, an elemental
ry work on Political Economy, wherein
the policy of Protection to Home Industry
will be explained and indicated. This
work viii first be given to the public
through successive issues of the Tribune,
and will appear in all its editions-Daily,
Semi Weekly, and Weekly.
We will thank those who think that the
influence of the Tribune conduces to the
profit and well being of the people to aid
us in extending its circulation

Allegheny Cattle Market.
from the Pittsburgh papers of Tuesday

CATTLE.-The supply Of cattle was not up to
that of last week either In regard to numbers or
quality, and In the absence of any inquiry for
shipment, deserving Of the name, the mark ct
was q rather hard one, and devoid of that ac-
tivity, which usually prevails when there is q
light supply. Prices, compared with last week.
ruled lower, especially the commoner grades,
OF which the offerings consisted chiefly, while
sstrfctly prime butchers stock brought relative
ly better prices. There were few extra cattle
sold at 8, but the bulk of the best stock ON sale
sold at from 714@7A. and fair to good may be
quoted at from 6!z@7: Stockers dull and ne
elected selling at to 6}xSsA, a. to quality.
SHEEP AND LAMBS--There was very full
supply Of this class Of stock on sale. about 800
head, and with only a moderate demand, the
market was very dull one, and, compared
with last week, prices have still further6eciin-
ed. And had II not been for the presence Of one
or two wholesale buyers, 1t weuld have been
still worse, as several droves were taken out of
the market for shipment. thus reducing the
number on sale, and rendering 1t possible for
holders to close out the balance TO the retail
trade. As noted, however, the market was a
hard one for sellers, and II La probable that most
of them lost money, and but very few, If any
realized any profit. The very best sheep on sale
did not bring over N to 41z-ths same Kind last
week sold at i5z05 Lambs also In good snp-
ply, and lower selling at from 81 so to So 500375
D head the bulk OF the sales being at 81, ,5062 So
HoGs.-There is little or no enquiry for this
class of stock, and the market is dull and ne
elected, while prices are nominally unchanged.
We continue to quote In a retail way ate0le]z
9llcts, ss to quality and condition.

The Advertiser, Of Friday, says the receipts
for the week have been !, III bales against ,757
bales for the corresponding week Of last year.
The sales for the week amount to l,000,090 bs of
domestic and 794 bales Of foreign.
The market continues active, and the sales
for the week foot up TO q round million OF
pounds. Buyers have been numerous and the
demand for fleece wool exceeded the supply
Manufacturers of fannels have been purchBs-
ing pulled woods quite freely. and the transac-
items have been largely of this description.
Prices exhibit no change, and although there is
some excitement among buyers in the country
and prices have been run up in certain localities
above the rates current here, dealers show no
disposition to hold their stock, as they see
nothing in The future prospects Of the goods
market to warrant the belief that there will be
any material advance. Manufacturers gener-
ally are wen supplied, and there will be no lack
of wool even il the new clip should not move
for q month or two. Combing wool is scarcely
SO drm, as the manufacturers have generally
supplied their most pressing wants, and are dis
posed to keep out of the market until lower
rates prevail. In California wool there is ne
special change, and the sales have been con-
fined to small lots. The demand for foreign
woods adapted to carpet and clothing purposes
has been more active, but the market " with
out any speciaI change in price.
