As the boat shoots under the arches
aud up the river The bridge comes IN
view-tho busiest place IN all busy Lon
don. About 5000 people on foot aud
900 vehicles pass every hour Of the day.
The rumbcl OF the traffic as ii comes TO
us on the boat is like the roll OF distant
thunder. ! can compare 1t to nothing
else. trite rs the sinilc is. In the back
ground Won can see the tower, in which
the offenders OF the government woro

market in the world The dealers and
their customers are notorious for the use

ing and conversations as meaning abuse
or profanity.
The bridge has been rebuilt several
times, and the present one cost ZIG, Goo
900 in gold so you may imagine how
substantial it is. In the reign of Queen
Elizabeth there were stores on each SIDE
with nrbor aud gardens, and at the
soulh end there was IA queer wooden
house; brought from Holland, which was
covered with carving and guiding. in
the Middle Ages it was the scene of
atiravs Of all kinds, aud it was burned
down several timc-. Three thousand
persons persisted in enc fire alone. The
heads of rebels were stuck on the gate
houses among others those OF Jack CAde,
and OF Garnet, who was concerned ~ the

Parliament The head OF good Sir
Thomas Mocrc, brave Wallacc OF Scot

/ Three hundred and fifty years ago the
I lord mayor of London was Sir William

bridge. aud had an infant daughter
named Anne The current OF the
Thames was then very strong as there

she let her little charge TALL. \ Young
apprentice named Osborne plunged into
the boiling stream after her, and with
great difficulty saved her, thus earning
the lifelong gratitude of his master,
the lord mayor. Anne grew 10 be :
beautiful woman, and as her father was
wealthy, many noblemen, Including carls
and baropets, sought her hand. But sh,
loved Osborne the host. and 10 all other
sui,ors her father said: "No, Osborn,

Money Matters.

The Chicago DroUers' Journal looks al
business prospects for this season in the
following way;
We have now reached the season oil
the year for the full opening Of the gen
eral fall trade of the country, and, as q
matter Of course, the money market Will
naturally be expected to show the usual
signs of activity that marks this period
Of the year. In less than two weeks
The regular packing season will open,
and Just now the lumbermen arc max.
ing active preparations for the logging
season. Tie grain dealers are hurrying
forward large quantities of wheat, corn,
etc, to tho seaboard R2rietS. These
different branches Of trade all require
the use OF good deal of money during
The fall and winter season. There IL Just
fair amount of activity in the gram
trade, at moderate prices, and ireiShts
have advanced to 3kG3lc on whea;
from Chicago 10 Buffalo. The lumber
trade is in au unsatisfactory condition /;
The stock is large everywhere, and the
demand through the season that 10 lla>t
row closing, has been very light, and
there is net much disposition among
oni'iini.zte 70 Invest money in this ilrep,
ton. The hog trade is ii 4 peculiar con-
d;tion. The receipts arc light in ali
the principal markets OF the country.
We stand Just at the threshold OF the
packing season, and the prospect IS that
we are To have light receipts of hogs,
parativcly speaking, for the rcmaln-
der of The present year. SO that the
prospect for any immediate heavy de
mand for money to be used in these
three leading branches Of trade is not OF
tho most fIatterng kind. Tho various
manufacturing establishments OF the
country are not in as heaIthya condition
yet as could be desired, by any means.
SO tha; tho flow of capital through all
tho usual business channels of the
country for the remainder Oft the present
fall season is Likely 10 be Of a sluggish
character. The whole general condition
OF the moncyod affairs OF the country Is
anomalous 10 say tho least. Money ir
generally tight in business circles just
where il is wanted in tho banks and IN
The hands OF wealthy capitalists where
it is not wanted, there continues 10 be 4
plethora. These parties all the time
having an abundance Of capital that they
cannot find employment for. In the
meantime the National Banks here and
there all over the country are surrender
ing their circulating notes and arc tax
ing up their bonds which have been held
rs security for their redemption.
In the great Eastern money market
call loans are attaInabIc at the rate OF ]
per cent. per annum, and it seems that
there is plenty of money IN Boston
New York, and other Eastern cities Il
be had at this low rate of interest. JUS
at this time there is !. considerabl,
amount Of currency being sent from these
cities 10 ,he South and West for the pur
pose OF being ready to assist IN "movin2

calcnlatc that large amount ot money
will be called into Use in the genera

From the vast array Of candidates
presented for office, the voters should be
able 10 select men that suit them. We
believe it would have been better had q
full Republican ticket been nominated
IN the first place, bnt we were overruled
IN that matter and must abide by the
result. Every man is supposed TO DC
for himself in this fight. If no com
bnations are formed it is likely the best
men will be elected. II tho political
merchants commence THAR trading there
is some chance of incompetent tnen be-
ing elected to office. There are many
good men IN the fold who would make
most excellent officers and undoubtedly
some Of them will he elected.

A Granger that Didn't Get Bunkoed.

Our old friend Simeon Robinson, from
the Illinois river county, came up to Chi
cago last week to attend the Exposition
and see the town. At the depot, while
standing on the sidewalk, hesitating
whether to take hack or an omnibus or
foot it to the hotel, a young chap of
decent appearance accosted him, /" Are
you from Peoria?" "No, SIR" said
Simeon, " am not from Peoria. 6 Elk
cuse me-" said the young chap, Ct
thought knew you-thought you was q
gentleman have heard father talk about
he's from that country. But isn't your
name Allen ?" "Allen? no, my name
isn't Allen-not by a long shot, and yoB
better git out, OF I'll Allen my boot in
the rear part of the place where yonr
spindle ranks make junction" said
Simeon, slightly raising one of his No. 9
brogans, and pointing to the young fell
lows coat-tail. ''And then, said Sim
con, he was telling us aboutit, "you'd
orter seen that fellow put. I'd a kicked
the brlnko cuss to the other side of the
creek, ii he'd given me jest one word
more of his soft solder" The fact is, Sim
con reads the papers, and has read SO
much about these swindling confidence
operators, who scrape up an acquaint-
ance with strangers, that he kept his
wits about him. Pity all country peo-
pie are, not as shrewd and careful as ne
is.-Chicago Journal.
