THE CHICAGO GRAIN CORNER. - This
collapse last Thursday. We quote from the
Chicago Tribune few statements in regard
to it:
The short interest had made herculean
preparations FOR meeting the emergency OF the
day; among other things, sending TO Mllwau-
kee for large quantities of wheat, and one Of
the vessels was so heavily laden that she
grounded at the entrance to our ha. Dor, and
was got off with great difficulty. But it seems
that the relief came day too late. The COM
bnation changed their tactics early in the
morning, and fought those who had sold short
with their own weapons. The ring broke
down the market from 81 80 to 81. 10 1-2, Just
at the time when many were expecting to see
the price advance to Sl.50. The ring has sold
out, and made money by the transaction.
Just how much profit has accrued to them
it is Impossible to say. 1t appears that they
subscribed $970,00O one month ago, as pool,
and have cleared about S210,000 on the trans
actions which matured yesterday; this being
probably exclusive OF a smaller profit made on
the corner which came to a climax on the
18th ult. This is not far from % per cent.
per month on the capital invested. The loss
10 the short interest must be very much great
er, while that to the grain producing commu-
nifty may be as much as ten times the amount
realized by The ring. II VIII be well il the
blow given to the grain trade of this city is
recovered from by the close ci navigation.
At the Change, on Thursday, vote was
taken on the subject of a rule to prevent cor
ners in grain. The result was that the Board
refused, by decided majority, to interfere.
The general sentiment is that the bulls and
bears should be allowed to fight it out in all
cases. So say We; but they ought not to be
permitted to injure people who have no inter-
est either way.

Cromwell was one day engaged in warm
argument with lady on the subject of ora
tory, in which she maintained that eloquence
could only be acquired by those who made
it their study from early youth, and their
practice afterwards. The Lord Protector, on
the contrary, maintained that there was an
eloquenee which sprang from the heart: since
when that was deeply interested in the at
tainment of any object, it never failed TO sup
ply a fluency and richness of expression,
which would, in the comparison, render vapid
the studied speeches OF the most celebrated
orators. 1t happened, some days afterwards,
this lady was thrown into state bordering on
distraction, by the arrest and Imprisonment
of her husband, who was conducted TO the
Tower as traitor TO the government. The
agoniZed wife few to the Lord Protector,
rushed through his guards, threw herself at
his feet, and, with the most pathetic elo-
quencs, pleaded for the life and innocence of
her injured husband. His hghness main
taintained severe brow, till the petitioner,
overpowered by the excess OF her feelings, and
the energy with which she had expressed
them, paused; then his stern counlenance
relaxed into a smile, and extending to her an
order for the immediate liberation OF her hus-
band, he said, Il think all who have witness
ed this scene will vote on my side OF the ques
ton, in dispute between us the other day,
that the eloquence OF the heart is far above
that mechanically acquired by study."-EE-

A PoNr OF GRAMMAR all our lec-
turing, we cannot convince our contempora-
ries of the barbarous imp-oprety of mixing
the active and passive forms OF the words
which signify ito be, to do, and to suffer-" A
few years ago, some verbal exquisite who
parted his hair in the middle, assured the
world, er cdthedrd, that "you must say the
house is building,' not the house is being
built "and the too docie world accepted this
fellows dctum, until now we hear, the house
is building, the cattle are selling, the railroad
is constructing and all that sort of ungran-
matical heathenlsm. 1t is no more nearly
correct to say, the house is building" when
you mean 10 sag the house is being built, than
to say "the man is beng eaten," when you
wish to declare that he is eating. The cir
cumstances of the case may render it less
ambiguous, but 1t is totally ungrammatcal by
construction, and ought not to be tolerated in
decent society. II, during the late war, the
teiegraphic agent bad annodnced, The
French are beating at Sedan" when he in
tended to say that they were being beaten, it
would have made some difference with the
stock market. And yet we suppose we are
destined long to groau under repetltions of
the vicious solecism, to protest against which
this paragraph !"is wrlting."-Chicago Post,
The Portland daily press., 1871-09-08

A good story is told of a patriotic dominic
up in Berks hire, who, in war times OF 1872,
was prone to preach Democratic politics, and
thank the Lord very specially, as well as very
fervidly, for any favors shown to our arms.
One Saturday night, neighbor received
packet of newspapers, relating to one OF our
famous naval victories, and, being familiar
with the parsons popularity, dispatched lnem I
to him. 1t was great victory, and tne 20" sito'
man rose to his prayer, trembling WIN nAa,ter
ment-,ll the more that the subject ina,'et az
wonld be news to most of his hearers: W., we
desire e to to thank thee" he began, 'for me me

They have very interesting young mons
ster in Jail at Jackson, Mich, in the shape of
boy fifteen years OF age, who has an unnatu
al appetite for devouring raw flesh and drink
ing hot blood. 1t is his delight to take live
fowl, twist off its head, suck the blood from
the neck, and then strip off the skin and de
your the flesh. He also eats raw beef and
mutton with great eusto. and it requires the
rations of three or four men TO make salts
and eats them shells and all, several dozen at
a sitting. This remarkable phenomenon was
first discovered in poor-house. where he was
probably kept in state of constant starva-
tion, which begot "lite-long hunger" in his
stomach that nothing can entirely satisfy.
Some enterprising reporter asked him il he
could eat raw baby, and he expressed the
opinion that he could, and relish the meal
right well.

The New Qneen OF SPAN aud Her sub
jects.
The sullen hostility of the nobility deepen
ed on the arrival of Queen Dona Maria Vie
toria at Madrid. While even the rabble re-
if not to the queen. and saluted her kindly
though without enthusiasm, the mobiles fairly
exhausted their ingenuity in devising modes
for manifestiDg their spite and ill breeding.
When the queen drove past the Veloz club,
its members stepped out on the balcony and
pressed their hats over their heds as
10" as the chin. The principal palaces,
the Medina Cell, the Vista Hermosa,
the Sexto, the XIpre, the Retortillo,
and Others Of medieval fame, were not only
undscorated, but locked up when she entered
the capital. Open warfare was naugnrated
by the female wing of the grandeza against
this foreigner, this upstart. The most bitter
and uhrelenting among the queens persecu-
tors were the duchess OF Medina Cell and the
duchess of CextO, the latter Russian by
birth, who had beco ne a French patriot as
duchess de Morny and mad subsequently
blossomed out into tull.blooded Spaaiard.
70 exhibit their hatred of the eEtrdnqerisIn
in the most public and offensive manner be-
came the study of these women. On the
Fuente Castellana, the fashionable drive, they
appeared dressed in the Bourbon fashion,
white mantillas, lilies and gigantic combs a la
Isabel. When the royal pair tor the first time
visited the Fnente Caste lana, the governor of
Madrid wished the nobility TO comply with an
old custom by lining the drive with their car
riages on both sides, so that the carriage Of
their majesties might pass up and down alone
in the center. But no sooner had the royal
equipage reached the center OF the drive than
all the carriages of the nobility left the place.
The next day this insult was repeated, and
with the a9gravation that the servants were
clad in deep mourning. But the rage and
indignation OF the mobiles eliminated when
the queen, in defiance OF the traditional et-
quette of the Spanish court, ventured to show
herself on the Prado unattended even by
single maid of honor. Since that fai al hour
they have brooded over the dark scheme to
emigrate in body to Seville, and to shake
the dust of desecrated capital entirely from
their aristocratic feet Such, at least, is the
threat gravely held out by the organ oil the
nobility, the Lilly Flower" and the Carlistic
"Margarlta."- Monthly Gossip, in LIP
pincott's Magazine.

of the ship and the lives of those on board her
depended on the quickness with which her rig
ging could be cut away and the oars thrown

rugged ship were dependent upon the miscela-
neous instruments they could pick up to help
the one man with a proper implement for his
work.
The Hudson was yesterday towed up to the
ship building yard of Poillon q Co., in Brock
lyn, where she Is to undergo repairs, aud it Is
expected that she will be able to resume her
voyage in about three weeks. The hull of the
vessel is completely uninjured, but the state of
the ship in the storm is capable of strong argu-
ment in relation to the different capabilities of
iron and wooden vessels.
Most certainly O wooden ship in this case
would have had more depth below the water
line, and, having more keel purchase, would
have been better able to stand this action Of the
storm to which the Hudson was subjected. The
crew of the wrecked vessel consisted of George
Evans, William Pellar, James McNulty, John
Donaldson, James Andrews, John Thompson,
and two runners, who were shipped for New
Orleans, the captain and his wife.-N. 7.
