Wheat was more active and averaged s4@1c
higher, partly because it WAS quoted stronger in
Liverpool, but chiefly owing to the weather, which
being more pronouncedly bad than for several
days past, caused no little excitement in the
early part Of the session. Prices would probably
have mounted much higher but that it was ru-
mored round that several large lots were held for
sale when the market should touch 21.30 for next
month The feeling was, however. very nerv-
GUS one. It was stated that one Of the largest
shorts for this month has made scarcely any de-
iVeries as yet, and some Of them are growing
uneasy as to ''what he is going to do about it,
as all deliveries usually made during the first
few days Of the month. The trading was p1iDci-,
paily On On the option Of seller june which opened
at Sl.28}9, advanced to 91.29, receded to 9l.28N,
rose to $12919, and closed weak at $1.285z. Sell
er the month was much less active than yeater-
day; sold at $1.28@128a<, closing at 81 2s cash.

CHICAGO LIVESTOCK MARKET,


CATTLE-The ratn-storm which set, IN early this
morning and continued with but slight inte1mlaeon
throughout the day materially interfered with opera
tons ut the Stock Yards. The attendance OF buyera
waa not noticeably smaller than on previous days
Of the week, but they could not be induced to
visit the Ealepens even By offers Of reduction from
former rates, and during the forenoon trading was
virtually at astandstn. Local butchers and shippers
took few carloads each the former paying s5o0@
10, and the latter 34.75@s.75. Adyicea from tie
East continue 50 discou1agng that, had the weather
been favorable It is not probable that seers
could have infused any life into the trade save
at the sacrifice OF prices. The receipts wern agan
moderate but the stale cattle awe1led the supply to
large proportons and at the close the yards well

Old Definition Of Wit.


Old Isaac Barrow, IN his famous ser
mon on s'Foolish Talking aud Testing,
gave a somewhat lengthy description of
Righteousness or wit, which was pre-
nounced by Macintosh TO be the
greatest proof of mastery over language
ever given by an English writer. This
illustration, which is too diffuse and
uncertain to be called definition, is 50
old that it viii be new 80 many. he
says: 'Wit is a thing SO versatile
and multiform, appearing In so many
shapes, so many postures, so many
garbs, SO variously apprehended by
several eyes and judgments, that it
seemeth no less hard to settle clear
and certain notion thereof than to make
a portrait of Proteus or to define the
figure of the feeting air. Sometimes it
heth in pat allusion to known story,
or in seasonable application of trivial
saying, or IN forging an opposite tale
sometimes it playeth in words and
phrases, taking advantage from the am
biguity of their senses or the affinity of
of their sound sometimes it is wrapped
up IN dress OF humorous expression
sometimes it is lodged IN sly question,
In a smart answer, IN quirkish reason,
in q shrewd intimation, in cunningly
diyerting or cleverly retorting an OBJ
lection sometimes it is couched in
bold scheme of speech, in a tart irony,
in a lusty hyperbole, IN startling
metaphor, in plausible reoonciling of
contradictions, or IN acute nonsense;
sometimes 4 scenicaI representation of
persons or things, a counterfeit speech,
q mimieal look or gesture passes for it /;
sometimes an affected simplicity, some
times presumptuous bluntness giyeth
it being sometimes it riseth from q
lucky hitting upon what is strange;
sometimes from crafty Wrestling obyi-
Gus matter to the purpose often it con-
sisteth In one knows not what, and
springeth up one can hardly tell how.
Its ways are unaccountable and inex-
plicable, being aEswerable to tho
rovings of fancy and winding
of language.
