HER LATEST LOSS.

AT dusk when most of the prisoners had
retired to their cells Fanny Hyde was
aroused by her screams. She was standing
outside of her cell door with her hands to
her forehead shouting for help. On the
approach of Mrs. Hyde she said, "Oh, I've
lost it, all that held most dear is gone.
Nothing was SO precious to me-" Fanny

by the arm and said, Don't go inside,
and be careful when you step down the
corridor. Go to the keeper and tell him
to come here and then l will teltwhat l

she said "Oh, get two candles, those cast

KATE STODDARD.
An Interview with her nged Fashe
HER STRANGE ACTIONS IN JAIL.

Every day many persons visit Raymond
street Jail and ask the keeper, Col. Conra-
dy, to see Kate Stoddard. Most of the
visitors are women who bring presents and
gifts of eatables, clothing, and flowers.
To some of them permission is granted to
see Kate, and their presence on entering
the corridor is announced to her by Mrs.
Fanny Hyde. She is very cxacting in the
arrangement of her dress when visitors are
announced. She never talks of anything
that annoys her, yet whatever has been
made public concerning her since her ar
rest she convcrses freely about.
When asked whether there was any
truth in the rumor that she was preparing
to visit her parents on the day she was ar
rested, she replied, Eyes, l felt strong
enough, and something seemed to hurry
me to leave quick Charlie was the only

How TO "COme Again."

Some time ago there lived a gentleman
of indolent habits in Sussex, who made a
business, in the winter season, of visiting
his friends extensively. After wearing
out his welcome in his own immediate
vicinity last winter, he thought he would
visit an old Quaker friend, some twenty
miles distant, who had been school-fel>
low of his. On his arrival he was cordial
ly received by the Quaker, he thinking
his visitor had taken much pains to come
so far to see him. He treated his friend
with great attention and politeness forsev-
eral days, and as he did not see any signs
of his leaving, he became uneasy, but he
bore it with patience till the morning of
the eighth day, when he said to him:
my friend, am afraid thee will never
visit me again"
ooh, yes L shall" said the visitor: Il
have enjoyed my visit very much l shall
certainly come again.
NAY" said the Quaker, Il think thee
will not visit me again.

again ~ asked the visitor.

Grain and Produce.
GRAIN.--The grain trade during the past
week has been rather active. The wheat spoken
OF in our last report as being on the market with
an unsettled condition of the market was finally
sold, however, at the buyers figures. There is
but little doing in the wheat trade, and 40 prob
ability Of rise.
FLoUR-Best family brands continue scarce,
and but little is being offered. The market is
hweve-, stocked with extra. the supply being in
excess of the demand.
OATs.-A considerable amount of oats has
changed hands here during the last few weeks
yet we do not consider the market very active.
CoRE.-The corn trade continues rather dull,
notwithstanding that considerable amount has
been offered and some purchases were mad
during the past week, Corn seems to be on a
downward tendency.
EGGs-The trade in eggs is becoming rather
duh, the weather being too warm for shipping
purposes. They have continued to decline, and
no transactions are made above 10all cents.
BACoS-The bacon trade is very good at pres'
ent and all that is offered is readily taken at
quotations. We quote it firm and in demand.

seed show downward tendency, but with pres
eut shipping facilities the market here is likely
to remain at present figures.

4 Major General in the Gutter.

Kansas City Newsl
To-day there is man going about the
streets of this city, ragged, dirty and pen
niless, subsisting on free lunches and the
charity of gamblers, aud has not slept I'm a
bed for months, who, during the war, was
one of the most dashing cavalry officers In
the Union army, and was promoted from
the rank of first lieutenant to full briga-
der and brevet general for brilliant ex-
PLOTS on the field of battle, and who for u
long time had a large and important COM
mand:
He has been here for two or three months
under an assumed name, being ashamed to
dim the brilliancy of his record in the SER
vice OF his country by an exhibition of his
degradation under his former honored
name. He is generally very retieent, hav-
ing little to do with any one or talking but
little, save when engineering for q
drink, at which he is remarkably success
full.
Night before last, while lying helplessly
drunk in the rear part of Third street So
loon, some men thought to play a joke on
him by stealing his shirt, and proceeded
to strip him. Underneath his shirt, and
suspended by string around his neck,
was a small canvass bag, which the men
opened and found it to contain his COM
mission as brevet Major General, two con-
gratulatory letters, one from Grant and
one from President Lincoln, q photograph
Of little girl and curl of hair-a "chest-
nut shadow that doubtless one day crept
over the brow of some loved one.
When these things were discovered, even
the half.druken men who found them felt
a respect for the mans former greatness,
and pity for his fallen condition, and
quietly returned the bag and contents to
where they found them, and replaced the
sleeper's clothes upon him. Yesterday a
Ne,US reporter tried to interview the man
and endeavor to learn something OF his
life in the past few years, but he declined
to communicate anything. He cried like
a child when told how his right name and
former position were ascertained, and, with
tears trickling down his cheeks, said: "For
Gods sake, sir, don't publish my degrade
tion or my name at least, if you are de-
termined to say something about it. 1t is
enough that | know myself how low /
have become. VIII you promise that
much 1t will do no good, but will do my
friends great deal of harm, as, fortu-
nately, they think died in South America,
where l went at the close of the war.'
Intemperance and the gaming table, he
said, had wrought his ruin.

ANDERSON Co., FIFTH DISTRICT,
March 81, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Permit me,
through the use of your very good paper,
to give the prospect for the coming wheat
cropin this section or region of country.
There can not possibly be more than one
third or fourth as much wheat raised as the
crop of 1872. There is large area frozen
out and quite an amount or number OF acres
so very thin that it will be the more sub
ject to rust. There are numbers of farmers
that will yet SOW oats in their wheat land
and harrow or pillow in. The weather dur
ing the past week has been remarkably ir-
regular, clustering and bad.
