KNOXVILLE, Tenn. July 16, 1872.
But little wheat was sold during the past
week. The sudden decline in prices democrat
ICES the trade for the present. All mill orders
are withdrawn, awaiting an adjustment of
prices. The opinion now prevails that the
market will reopen at S1.10 fol prime White,
and Sl.OO for Red. Before the close of the pres
ent week we expect to witness brisk market
on the basis of the above quotations. Several
car loads OF Oats engaged-at prices correspond.

furnishing the sacks
There is nothing doing in Corn or Flour ex-
cept to supply the local trade at prices of last
week.
Bacon and Lard sell readily at former quota
tions for local supply.
No demand for hay except for local wants.
The crop is short, but good. If pro-
ducers and shippers will combine interests in
this department and offer nothing but prime
article, We can soon make this an important ar
ticle of export.

Bacon.

Notwithstanding the claim of East Tennes-
see as the land of "hog and hominy," 1t IS
con used in this market is brought from Louis
vile and Cincinnati, and the same is true of
lard What is more surprising is the fact that
this is done with large surplus on hand, which
has not yet been thrown upon the market. This
should not exist and is productive of loss to
both. There are thousands of pounds OF bacon
and lard now in the country and every week
Western meat is brought here in large quanti-
ties. We should not import with a surplus on
our hands

national Body.
The Sons of Temperance are stronger now
in numbers than for many years past though
the Order itself has been weakened by the Sc
cession of several influential Jurisdictions in
the South. The negro question-that prolific
source of strife-was introduced ::into the Ma
tional Division, at Boston last September and
though the objectionable action was repealed at
its meeting in Chicago, it was not satisfactory to
the seeding divisions of the South, several of
whose delegates met in Chattanooga on the 23d
and 9th of June, ult., and organized an Inter-
national Division of Sons of Temperance, on
the basis of white membership exclusively.

ing list of officers:

Mother Miehaud.
BY KATE PUTNAM osGooD

BY KATE PUTNAM OSGOoD.
1t was early morn when Mother Michaud
Passed by the guard at The city gate,
Drowsily measuring, to and fro,
The narrow length Of the iron crate.
Still far and faint in the twilight swoon,
Where dark and dawning az struggle meet
Like her own pale shadow, the waning moon
Hung lonely over the lonely street.
By winding stairway and gable quaint
Carved over again in shade below
By arch and turret and pillared saint,
With lightsome step walked Mother Michaud.
Pleasant il was in the smoky town
The rosy old country face to see!
The high white cap and the peasant gown
Brought up vision of Normandie-
Normandie, with its fair green swells,
The sweep OF its orchards tiowry flood,
Ways that wind into woody dells
Corn fields red with poppy's blood
There in the corner, the wheel stood still
INIT used to whir like the bees on the thatch;
Tie cherries might tap On the window sill,
Aud the vine, unloosed lift the latch.
But Mother Micbaud had left behind
Inc sun and scent of Der native plain,
Far over the darklng hills to find
The lace OF her youngest SON again.
Nine long years had come and gone,
Nine long years since the April day
When unto the mist of the carly dawn
He melted, kindred mist, away.
And year after year the bright boy-face,
That never came back from that eloud-land dim
Beckoned her out Of the empty space,
Till IL drew her at last 70 follow him.
Lonely and dark in the dawn;ng spread
The city's tang1e Of coJrt and street;
But tce stones that answered her hurrying tread
Had echoed before to his passing foeti
Lonely and dark ?-but a sound glare.
Strike on the sense like sudden blow!
Press closer 10 the shadowy stair,
Out OF the tumult, Mother Michaud!
Clatters the street to the soldiers tramp
File on file, with stately sheen.
Under the flare of the fitfll lamp
Held high in the cart that rolls between
The heads carved over the doorway there
Grin into view for moment plain
Mocking the mute, bewildered stare
OF the mother who finds ner son again
Finds him, to lose him at las5-like this!
Chained like wolf, with these wolfsh eyes,
Dead with never mothers Kiss
Ere yon low moon drops out of the skies!
Forward she sprang, in the torch-light blaze
Full overhead as the cart went by
AL her soul ia that raining gaze
All her strength in that maddened cry,
He tul ned, as it smote through his dullinq ears:
Their wild eyes met-and The cart drove on
So Mother Michaud, after nine long years.
Looked into the face of her youngest son.
