and wanted him to give her some laud-
anrm and camphor, saying that she
needed 1t for neuralgia III the arm.
Knowing her mental condition he pre-
tended he had none ready, and that it
would take half an hour to put it up.
She said she would call in again for it.
and then walked out into the street.
Mr.. Squalr, supposing that she was go
ing to some other drugstore, put on his
hat and followed her. She went directly
across the street to Rogers & Smiths, at
the corner OF Adams and Clark Just SIS
she was telling Mr.. Smith that she wanted
some laudanum, Mr.. Squair beckoned to
Smith, and WHEN he came up, told hirn
who 1t was he was talking to, and that he
must not give her any laudanum. Mr..
Smith then said to her he could not sell
her any without a doctors order, and
she left and went down the street to
Dale's where she asked for laudanum
and camphor separately. Mr.. Squair
got in ahead of her, and was consequent
ly able to prevent her getting anything
there.
Then, seeing that she. was about re-
turning to the Pacific, he hurried back
to his own place, and put upa mixture of
one drachm of liquid burnt sugar and ten
drops of tincture of camphor, in g.
ounce bottle filed with water, and la
beled g Laudanum and Camphor." She
took it and went outdoors, and as soon
as she got on the sidewalk she drank the
contents. About ten minutes afterward
she returned to the drug store, saying
that her arm troubled her very much and
she wanted some more laudanum to add to
the mixture. Mr.. Squair asked her if
she had used it, and she said no, she
wanted it stronger. She went behind
the counter and began watching him.
He told her the laudanum was kept in
the basement, SO he went down there and
made up mixture of ali ounce OF liquid
burnt sugar, labeled it HLaudanum
Poison cautioned her to be careful,
and gave it to her. She took it out and
drank it. In the meantime he had sent
for her son, who came and tool, charge
of her.

SEEDS AND HIGHWINES.
The movement in grass seed during the past
week was light. The season for sowing is about
over, and few orders therefore were received on
shipping account. The offerings of the differ
ent kinds however, were only moderate, and
although the market was quiet a steady feeling
prevailed. Timothy closed at S2.00G02. So for

Chicken.Raising Extraordinary.

Two brothers named Calf have estaIs-
ished mammoth hennery in Colorado,
ten miles from Denver. It covers four
acres, which is laid out like a village,
with streets and avenues, along which
are built long rows Of houses of various
designs. Regular families are assigned
to these houses, and it is found that they
quickly domesticate themselves, without
troubling their neighbors. The popula-
ton of the village is about 1000, divided
closely into social cliques of Brahmas,
Cochins, Shanghaes and Dorkings, and
the products are eggs and spring chick
ems. Sundays included, the industrious
matrons of the village turn out daily
from forty to fifty dozens Of eggs, which
are sold for from 80 to 80 cents dozen.
The brothers Gaff express but single
regret, and that is that they did not
found their colony fifteen years ago,
when eggs brought S. dozen, and a
spring chicken was worth per nyweight
of gold-dust.

Weekly Review of the Chicago Market.

The money market remains without particu-
lar change. The demand for favors was light
and the offerings on good security quite liberal.
Interest rates, TOTO per cent. Government
bonds firm and steady, but rather quiet.
BRRADsTUFFs.
The weakness shown In the leading grain
markets during the preceding week was more
fully developed during the week now under re-
view and eliminated in general and quite
severe reduction in values. The speculative
element were the principal operators, although
there was more doing on shipping account
than for some time past. The influences,
however, were mainly of local character,
and the bears seemed to have the control OF
the trade and the way in which they used
their power is readily seen by comparison
of prices, and from the opening to the close
the markets have generally been weak with a
declining tendency. AT times feryent feeling
would be noticed and the rapid decline in values
checked by the demand from shorts" who
bought freely at every reduction, but the lnf1u-
ences were generally against the markets and
the improvements would prove but temporary.
The receipts were fair and in excess Of the ship
ments, except corn and oats. Spring wheat
and corn we're the principal attractions,
the other markets ruling comparatively
quiet. New York and Liverpool advices
were of an unfavorable tenor while the
weather was warm and the stock in store is
unusually large for the season. The forward
movement so far has been very light, and the
problem of interest to spectators Is, ''What
are we going to do with the stock on hand z"
AS consequence there are few sellers for
future delivery, and all the options are more or
less depressed, while the principal demand is
from shorts who are buying at the profit offered.

the closing quotations for the latter showing

A REvonUTIoNARY MUsKET. Ho-

airy musket, and the other day he went
out to Union Hill to try its effect on any
stray birds that he might get within gun
shot Of. The first time he fired it it
jumped out Of lis hands, knocked him
down, chased him through a ten-acre lot,
climbed through the fence after him and
kicked him and jumped up and down on
him, and the poor fellow only saved his
life by climbing a big tree. AS it was,
he says the old musket waited for half
an hour at the foot of the tree for him to
come down. He tells this, and, strange
to say, not more than half the people
believe it.

THE PROBABILITY.

Through direct appeal to selfish in

popular mind that it is hardly possible

crushed in Pennsylvania, it is probable
that the next Congress will be the battle

$40, 900 and can be made to believe that
II more currency is issued he will have
less to pay, A. will be most heartily in
favor OF imitation and in tho widespread
sincerity of this belief lies the real
strength OF the imitation cause. II it was

yIRGINIA'S SINCE.

any amount OF punish ment, and If heaven
holds off and gives her fair chance, she
will very soon get square upon her pins

going up. and large gangs Of laborers are
wheeling bricks from the ruins. cleaning
and piling them for use. Topping walls
are being pulled down, lumber hauled,
and everything being done toward re-
building the city. Not moment Of time
is being lost. In places where the fire
still shoulders, and renders the bricks
too hot for handling, one gang OF men
dashes water over them while others bear
them off. Lumber ia scarce, but Is hourly
