FAILURE AT WASECA.

Rumors has been rife on our Streets
of late that some OF our wheat buyers
had been large losers in option wheat in
Chicago. and the rumor proved true for
once. However, most of our buyers
were able to stand the decline in prices,
and not feel it to any great extent; but it
seems Mr.. John Diederich. who was
also speculatcr in option wheat. of
which it is said he had 40, 900 bushels in
Chicago, could not stand the decline,
and has been compelled to make an as
signment for the benefit of creditors. The
farmers Of this section had stored in the
warehouse Of Mr. Diederich va 10 is
amounts, from lO0to 1000 bushels, the
whole amounting to upwards of 5000
bushels, whic,l was sold by Mr. Biede-
rich and the money swallowed up in his
Chicago speculation. with the exception
OF about - 900 which he had advanced to
farmers when they stored their wheat
with him. His assets are worth probab-
ly $500 -Wusec1 R0dtccI.

broad fireside, on which logs four feet
long can be put. marks the place so re-
plete with interest to the Virginian arch
ealogist. II is situated on the York. at
the mouth Of what is now called Tim
bsrneck Creek. but the king of the for
csts called it Werowocomico, on the farm
owned by Mr.. John II. Seawell. A
rude cabin has been built to the chin
ney, and now, around the same hearth
where his Majesty the King of Pamaun-
kee and their royal highnesses the Prin-
cess and the Princesses gathered to smoke
their native weed, son Of Africa, with
his broken. stemmed chalk pipe, gathers
his sable brood. all unconscious that roy

saved the colony is said to have occurred

"Powhatan's chimney" is one Of the few
reminders left US by time the great In

selves than if put in the cars full Of corn

ana water.
Almost every shipper who comes to
this market experiences more or less loss
by his cattle getting down in the cars
and being trampled to death. This is
caused by the cattle being in bad con-
dition when shipped If cattle are full
Of corn shipped it heats them, and causes
them to cramp and get down in the cars,
and the floor OF the car being wet, they
are unable to rise or stand and the re-
suit is one or two steers, worth $50 per
head, are lost-all on account of the
shippers ignorance about cattle shipping.
All Eastern shippers have learned, by
long experience, that cattle 60 to market
in better condition, and lose less weight,
if shipped gaunt, as they fill better when
turned into the pens to water. After cat
tie have been shipped, long runs and
short stoppages pay best. As a proof Of
this Eastern shippers of long experience
have run cattle through to st. Louis and
Chicago to New York with but one
change of cars in four days and nights.
and the result has always been satisfac-
tory. Most country shippers observe the
opposite course, and start to market,
feeding and watering at every stopping
place, instead Of M king long runs, as
they should do.

FARM AND GRANGE.

STOCKING STREAMS. Agar ago, more
having more young trout than my pond
would accommodate, put a few thous-
and into a barren stream near me. They
were then about one inch long. A few
days since I thought would see what
they had done. I took my rod and a
couple Of my little boys and went to the
branch, and in less than an hour caught
thirty, all we wanted, and might have
caught hundreds, as we could see them
in schools of fifty or a hundred in place
fora mile up and down the brook.
They were about seven inches long, and
those left by midsummer will be nine or
or ten inches long, or what would be
called a nice catch. As this same thing
can be done by every brook ofpure wa
ter {either hard or soft) in the State, l
submit if it would not pay the owners OF
brooks to stock them, if in nothing else,
in furnishing one more attraction for the
farm. If not for themselves, tor the
boys for recreation is as necessary to
them as meat and bread, and it they
can't find it on the farm they will hunt it
in the village. Many of US can recollect
how attractive the brook was on our
fathers or neighbours farm. and how its
willy denizens taxed and developed our
young skill and ingenuity in their cap

lORO MACAULAY AND TALCEYRANO.
When Lord Macaulay had achieved
celebrity, which he did at an early age
by the publication Of the very first Of his
essays in the Edinburg Review, be forth
with became favored guest at all OF
the houses in London best worth enter
ing. and met, in continual round Of
breakfasts, and dinnesr, and evening"
entertainments, most of the conspicuous
personages who mingled in fashionable
in the first volume of his biography, he
has lett many spirited and interesting
sketches of the eminent men and women
who chiefly attracted him; and from
this collection of portraits we extract
the several following. Describing the
company at a dinner at Holland House,

ties, but had never been near enough to
hear word that he said. l now had
the pleasure of listening for an hour and a
half to his CONVEX alton. He is certain
ly the greatest curiosity that l ever fell
in with. His head is sunk down be-
tween two high shoulders. One of his
feet is hideously distorted. His face Els
as pale as that ola corpse, and wrinkled
to a trightful degree. His eyes have an
odd, CLASSY stare, quite peculiar to the m
His hair. thickly powdered and poma-
tuned, hangs down his shoulders on
each side as straight as pound OF tai
low candles. His conversation, how
ever, soon makes you forget his ugliness
and infirmities. There is q poignancy
without effort in all that he says, which
reminds me little of the character
which the wits of Johnson's circle give
Beauclerk.
He told several stories about the poll
teal men OF France not of any great
value in themselves, but his way of tell
ing them was beyond all praise,-con-
else, pointed, and delicateiy satirica.
When he had departed, could not help
breaking out into admiration OF his tai

land said he had been considered for
nearly forty years as The best teller Of a
story in Europe, and that there was ser
tainly no one like him in that respect.

A romantic" narrative of the proyin.

A romantic" narrative of the provin.
cial dav is that told by the Boston cor
respondent OF the Salem Gazette the
story OF Marblehead girl named Ag-
mes, who was servant in a hotel there.
A nephew ofOliver Cromwell, Edward
Franklin by name, was collector of the
kings customs at Boston; Marblehead
was included in the same district, and
thus Franklin often had occasion to visit
the town in discharge OF his duties.
His attention was attracted to a young
girl who waited on him at the hotel ia
BILE, and he gave her dollar. The
next time he visited the ho tel he asked
her what she did with the dollar; she
answered that she bought pair of shoes
to wear to meeting. He affected to be
much interested in her artless innocence,
and insisted on taxing her to Boston to

disgusting term) his mistress, in which
degraded station, however, she had an
interesting part to act. She accompa-
MED him everywhere he went, here or in
Europe. and was with him in Lisbon on
the day of the great earthquake. He
had lett her at their abode in the out
skirts, and drove into the city, where he
with his team, was buried in the ruins.
Learning of the destruction caused by
the earthquake, and he not returning,
she went through the ruins, shouting
his name, till she got an answer from
him, wounded and helpless, and "readv
to die" she extricated him, and in
gratitude he did her the tardy justice, to
marry her. His English family con-
nections would not recognize her; and
Franklin and his wife returned to the
province OF Massachusetts, and dwelt in
house at Holliston, burnt down few
years ago, and which contained many
memorials Of these two adventures, and
where the anniversary of the earth quake
at Lisbon was yearly observed by them
with fasting aud solemnity.

HON. HARLOW S. ORION, OF VISION
SIN. DEFINES HIS POSITION ONTHE
FINANCIAL QUESTION.

In 1875 there was collected from Gus
tomst l57 900, 900, tl0O. 900 900 OF which
was only needed TO pay interest leaving
Us, 900, 900 not needed in coin. Where
is it? 1t is respectfully submitted then
at least this overplus collected from Gus
toms in gold or it is equivalent not need
ed to pay gold interest, might be paid in
legal tenders. Why not? This would
to some extent give them more credit
and appreciate them in market, but if
we should 60 further and have all Gus
toms paid in legal tenders, and have the
government say 1t will receive its own
paper for all purposes, including Gus
toms. as it did in the old treasury notes,
and if the gold is wanted to pay interest
let it be obtained by purchase. thro ugh
the numerous financial agencies of the
government, including the national
banks. for they are government deposi-
tories as well rs the sub>treasuries.
1t is claimed, and with great proba
bility, that the very enactment OF this
measure would greatly lesson the differ
ence between legsl-tenders and gold.
and It's effect, as time progressed. would
be more and more salutary The fear
that gold spectators would ia such a
case, hoard it to sell to the government
at an extortionate rate is an idle bug
bear, Tor it would be criminally urlaw
ful and Improbable for them TO do so.
These two measures are not the chimeri
cal dream Of country clown or mad
house lunatic. They were recommend
ed in the report of the treasurer of the
United States, in 1873. Why was no,
this recommendation carried into legal
effect by congress, and the experiment
