ports to the Superintendent Of the
Coast Survey as follows relative to what

sec. west, what is apparently a fresh
water spring. The water at the surface
is violently disturbed for space of
about 30feet in diameter. The first day
we crossed this place the water was com
ing up with such violence as to throw
the ship from her course and the second
time, although it was smooth, the vessel
could be kept on her course but for a
short time. The soundings in the
center of the spring gave % fathoms,
and specimen of the bottom of very
clear broken small shells. The sound
ings from the center to the limits of the
disturbed water decreased to 8 fathoms.
The water at the surface is brackish. :"

The grain markets have attracted considera-
BILE attention from spectators during the pas
week, and an extensive speculative business
was transacted The markets, however have
been very unsettled, values being subject to
frequent and quite severe huctuatlon Gener-
ally speaking, however, the prevailing feeling
has been one of tirrnness and the closing quo
tations invariably show an advance as compared
with the figures current at the opening. The
movement has been mainly on speculative &C
count, and the movements of opera
tors were governed more by local
speculative influences, and the manpulations
of local spectators had more to do with the
subsequent changes in values than the advces
from Liverpool and New York 1t was we'll
known fact that all the markets had been
largely discounted for May delivery, and as
these contracts approached maturity there was
a general desire on the part of the short sellers
to provide for them, the active competition be-
tween this interest being the principal cause of
the subsequent advance. True the receipts
were large, but this fact had only nominal in
fuence on the market, as the daily arrivals
were generally intended for delivery
on previous sales. Shippers were buying
with more freedom than during the preceding
week. The corn trade attracted large attend
ance of operators and, at times, was quite ex-
cited. During Saturday the markets were
weak, and about 1c decline was sustained on
wheat and corn-ethe deliveries on May con-
tracts being liberal, while parties having grain
coming to them were selling out, showing a
disposition to realize. There was more doing
in June and July, operators preferring the de-
ferred options.

at the opening and close Of the past week:

A Mothers Desperation.

This morning about 9 o'clock the city
was startled by the news that the bodies
OF woman and child had been found in
Bear creek, at the foot of Fifth street,
opposite the Badger State undergrad.
The Clipper reporter fastened to the
spot and found that the terrible news was
too true, for there, floating on the water
with the back of the head and portion
OF the clothing visible, was the body of a
woman. At the edge of the water was g
stake drlved III the ground, to which a
cord was attached, and it was evident
that the other end Of the cord was at
tached to the corpse or corpses. A few
persons by this time had collected at the
spot, and a short distance back was a
little boy weeping violently, in company
with Elder Challener, Of the Christian
Church, who was endeavoring to console
him. This little boy, about - years of
age, was named Willie Irwin, and it was
his mother and only little sister, Lottie,
about 5 years Of age, who were sleeping
their last sleep in the cold and muddy
waters OF Bear creek. Willie said that
his mother, Mrs. E. L. Irwin, in COM
pany with his little sister Lottie, left
home about Z o'clock last night, and he
asked his mother where she was going.
The only answer she made was that she
would be back soon, requesting him to
stay at home until she returned. The
body of the child had not yet been seen,
but there seemed to be a settled convic-
ton with all present that it had shared
the fate of its mother. Mrs. Irwin or
the little girl did not return home dur
ing the night, and, that fact being re-
ported to the neighbors, suspicious were
aroused, and this morning, few minutes
before 9 o'clock, Messrs T. S. Hager
and James Munson discovered q woman s
tracks going to tie water at this point.
They saw the rope attached to the stake,
which at first appeared to them to be a
trot-line. Taking hold of the rope, the
body OF the woman at once foated to the
surface.
Several hundred persons had now
gathered at the edge of the water, wait
ing eagerly for further developments.
Coroner Dick appeared with jury the
rope was drawn in, and then the horrible
fact was revealed that the mother had be-
come the executioner of her child, for
@horn in her arms the two butltes bound
securely together by the rope, the cheek
of the little girl resting against that of
her mother, were the two bodies, purple,
swollen, and cold in death. The water
here was but little over four feet deep.
The binding of the bodies together, and
attaching the rope to the stake showed a
will and deliberateness Of purpose by
the mother in this desperate deed truly
remarkable. Hannibal (Mo.) Clipper.

Faithful D0gS.

A yOungster of five years was recently
lost near Lexington, Mo. His name is
William Norman, and when last seen the
| child was In fence-corner with two
dogs. From there it seems he wandered
into the woods, eight miles from Licking
ton and three miles from home. Here,
probably, night overlook the little wan
derer, and darkness closed IN upon him,
cold, tired and hungry, with none to aid
him but his faithful four-footed COM
panions. The faithful dogs, with an III
stinct that seems equal to human intelli-
gence, went to work and scratched to-
gether bed of leaves. Into this the
boy crept, and then the intelligent ami
mails laid down, one on each side of him,
and kept him warm through the night
with the heat Of their bodies. Morning
broke with the boy safe, his shaggy
guardians remaining at their posts.
Though rested and refreshed, Ne was al
most famished with hunger. Again the
wonderful instinct of the faithful dogs
was equal to the emergency. They set
out foraging; chased and killed rabbit,
and brought it to their young charge,

time followed, the bride in a dress of

her ebon locks done up in tallow, being
of course the center Of attraction. She
was exceedingly affectionate. Being asked
by Caucasian interloper if she loved
her newly acquired husband, she warmly
answered, "You bet; me heap likee Sam;
he belly good Chinaman." Sam, too,
was as happy as hoodlum with a new
