Grain and Produce.
GRAIN.-The grain trade during the past
week has been very light. There has been but
little offered, but sufficient for the demand,
which has been very slight Wheat has fallen
10 cents on the bushel, from the highest figures
it carried few weeks since, and we continue
to quote it at 81 80a1 90; yet, withal, it is
slightly frmer than when last reported. There
has been general decline in wheat in all the
principal markets, and many OF the leading
wheat merchants have entirely withdrawn from
the market. Those merchants have not re-
turned to the mar ket with any degree of activ>
ity, yet occasional car load orders are received
by our merchants,
FLoUR.-The market remains considerably
easier, there being sufficient supply for pres
ent local demands. Flour, however, continues
in good demand.
OATs.-The trade in oats is very dull, the
amount in market being fully equal to the de-
mand
CoRN-The trade in corn is very dull at pres
ent and the demand is light.
=, EGGs.-The Trade in eggs continues good, and
they have again advanced slightly. We quote
them in demand at IA cents
BACoN.-The bacon trade is considerably
frmer. Some heavy shipments having been
made lately. Prices are tending upward.
GRASS SEED.-Western quotations in grass
seed show downward tendency, but with pres
ent shipping facilities the market here is likely
to remain at present figures.

The Hon. Amasa Walker has written
letter upon the resumption of specie
payment in which he commends the
plan proposed by Senator Sumner III
1871, which was as follows l. That
the Secretary of the Treasury should be
instructed to prepare compound inter
est notes, payable i'll three years,
bearing interest like those issued
during the war, at 6 per cent, of de-
nominations suitable for circulation.
Five millions of these were to be dated
the 1st of each month, and paid out for
all dues of the Government, except
those payable in gold. 2. They were to
be convertible at the end of two years
into 1910 per cent. bonds. at the op'
ton of the holder. and to be a legal
tender. g. Greenbacks were to be can
celed as they came into the national
treasury rs fast as the compound inter
est notes were issued. By the process
tie present circulatory notes of the
treasury would all be taken in and de-
stroyed, and their place be occupied by
the new issue.

spondent of the Germantown Ieie-
graph. In hurry to clean a field,
farmers will give their cattle surfeit of
pumpkins for a day or two, then for a
day or two perhaps none, and thus al
ternate feasts and fasts, and conclude
pumpkins are worthless, or worse. The
writer says he intends to feed pumpkins
about two Notwithstanding them last
till the snow flies. He feeds regularly,
once day, from one to three pumpkins
per head, never more, and finds them
conducive to the health of stock, besides
greatly increasing the quantity and
quality of the butter made. Pumpkin
made butter will readily pass for
"golden or "gilt edged without the
use of "coloring."

MILK AND TYPHOID FEVER.

Since the first well-defned suspicion
of milk as the agent of disseminating
typhoid fever, evidence has accumulated
which proves that the subject is one OF
Importance by no means minor. DIR.
Bateson, medical inspector of Leeds,
England, has just added important tes-
timony ON the subject. Toward the
close of the year 1882, according to him,
fever appeared in Leeds in isolated
places, and in districts where the saDi-
tary condition was unexceptionable.
The cause of this for while completely
batfied discovery but at length it was
found that a milk-dealer living in the
center of the town supplied every house
in which fever was present. But the
milk-dealer got his milk from farm
house some distance away, and all with
in his house were well. Upon visiting
the farmhouse six persons were found
suffering from the disease, lying in a
room adjoining that in which the milk
cans were kept, and nursed by the same
woman who managed the dairy. OF
the eighty persons attacked fourteen
died. 4 dairyman in Glasgow, having
fever in his house, supplied seventy
three families, living in five different
streets, and in these families thirty-six
cases of fever occurred.

NO MORNING CALLS.

O Eouald, you know that I love you,
You know that my promise is true,
And. l think there is nothing more pleasant
Than leading the German with you;
But li.,en, I've something to whisper,
Be sure It's no perilous warning,
Put yoar fears ell to rest, It's simple request
Please. Ronald, don't call in the morning.
Now Ronald, don't wrinkle YOUR forehead
And open your eyes like goose,
Don't try TO look rueful or horrid,
My love- il will be of 10 use;
One can; arrange puff, braid and ringlet
With only Lalf-minute's warning.
And when en- dishaJiLe, why, one really don't feel
Like having call in the morning.
Besides, mamma thinks it is silly;
And surely dear mamma must know,
For shes been a leader of fashion
These thirty odd seasons or SO.
Don't talk of simplicity, dearest;
What's beauty without some adorning?
Aad one looks like fright after dancing all ni5
So Ronald don't call in the morning.

4 SUNDA Y LESSON.

one Sunday morn, my footsteps led me where

The beck ming bell, with sweet, persuasive voice,
Bsde me to enter. and partake the feast
of heavenly yiands which the godly man
should with free hand dispense. 1 stepped within,
The pealing organ and concordant choir
yaked with symphony the yaulted space,
And thrilled my very soul with love for Him
Who WIS the theme of such Inelodious tones:
For the well-timed recurrence of stress,
And periodic cadency and swell
OF sounds harmonious.-which are, alone,
Entitled to tie name Of music pure
Act on the finer senses of the mind.
And elevate tue soul ineffably.

The tidings glad which He of Nazareth
Did bring-when, 10 the legate of the Lord,
Howling his screed with swift persuasive fist.
smote on the rounded velvet Of his desk.
And said that man was totally depraved;
And, furthermore, he never did nor could
Do aught to please the Lord he could not help
Himself and if he called no; on his God
In such peculiar way pleased Him well,
He could obtain favor from On High.
And thus he made the read 10 Heaven above
So difficult TO tread that even he
Who is than fool more wise, must err therein.
Such singular confusion of the Word
Rendered repulsiye all the preacher said.
And cast a sorrow where JOY had been;
For Heaven will help the ones who help them
selves
Is sweetest music to the fainting soul.
Ipassed from cut the portals of that church,
Feeling it was temple of the Lord,
And that His Word wrested TO conform
To narrow views OF narrow-minded men.
