The market opened with . good inquiry, but
operations being restricted by brokers coming
forward with offers, hich factors were unwilling
TO accept, the ossles during the morning hardly
together more freely, and further transactions
were reported to the extent of $3.50 bales, making
total proper, for the day, al noted above, OF
1850 bales.
Prices exhibited increased irregularity, the
better qualities, especially even running lists,
which were scarce, commanding previous rates,
while other descriptions, including average lists
easier. In some cases, in fact, offers were &C
cepted which indicated falling off Of 1<@Ic.
As . general thing tho advantage was on the
side OF the buyers, and occasional sales were
made at fraction less than our in -ide figures,
but not to sufficient extent to require any mod
ifcation Of our quotations.
The dispatches reported decline Of 1-16d 1T
Liverpool with sales of II, 900 bales, and arrivals
1-l6d lower, and New York dull and irregular,
without any quotable variation in spots and the
figures for futures reduced 1-16@Nc. A material
decline in exchange, sterling giving way 2Iac,
equal to about $40 y cent, had an unfavorable
influence.

pering: "These flowers must always be
sacred to us; for it was when you were
gathering those of mine, so rudcly broken
and scattered by an ungentle hand, that
my soul went out to you in the fullness OF
its first affection"
SO Ellen became the wife of Sir Evan,
and through life proved herself true
wife, loving mother, and benefactrcss
to the poor and lowly. Sir Evans mother
never had cause to regret having given
her sanction to the marriage; for she be-
came very proud of her lovely daughter
in-law, whose charming character was
daily astonishing her more and more.
They are old now and the elder lady has
passed away; and the young generation
are grown up to manly sons and beautiful
daughters, being loved and woocd and
won in their turn; but none of them arc
happier with their lovers than Ellen is
with Sir Evan; and in the spring he never
appears before her on any morning with
out bouquet of primroses, which she
places in her belt as she had done long
ago TO those he had first given her. The
family all know the story; and they have
heard how chagrincd the naughty Marga-
ret was when she learned who she had re-
fused to dance with at the wedding by the
river side, and whose flowers she had
broken so rudcly and cast to the winds;
and the most valued painting in the castle
is the fair Ellen in her white dress and
blue ribbons, and sunny, ripping, golden
brown hair, with a tender look, half glad,
half regrctful, gathering into her bouquet
the broken primroscs, and a hazcl-cyed,
handsome gypsy gazing at her with pas
siOnatc admiration.

A MONTREAL tCanada) telegram of the

Caleb p. Marsh, who has fled the country
to avoid prosecution for his connection
with the Belknap bribery case.
IT was semi-officially stated in Wash
lngton on the 4th that Gen. Babcock had
dissolved his connection with the Execu-
tive Mansion. Gen. Belknap was, put
under the surveillance of city detectives,
at his residence on the evening of
the. 9th, to prevent any possibility of
his escape. Mr.. Blackburn, of the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the War De
partment was reported to have stated, on
the 4th that the committee was in posses
sion of facts showing that five other post
traderships besides that of Fort Sill were
sold for sums ranging from $500 to S25,-

been unearthed in the disbursement
of the 81, ,o0o,o 900 appropriated by Con-
gress for putting up headstones over the
graves of Union soldiers.

The plumbago found in Greenfield,

THE Oldest reaping and moving ma
chine in Ohio is in Washington County,
and is to be sent to the Centennial. 1t
has been in use nineteen years, and has
cut over 1000 acres of grain and grass.
THE failure of the ice crop this winter
will give a new stimulus to the artificial
manufacture of that summer luxury. 1t
is claimed that ice can be artiiiclally man
ufacturCd much cheaper than it is usual
ly sold by the companies, and that the
manufactured ice is of Il much bcttcrqUaI-
ity than that cut from shallow ponds full
of all kinds of dccaying leaves and rub
bish. If necessity is the mother Of invcn-
ton it is quite possible that some good
will come out of the failure OF the ice
crop, and if the sharpcncd wits Of the in
vcntors will contrivC something to satisfy
midsummer necessities and break the mo-
nopoly of the ice companies everybody
will keep cool and be glad.-N. Y.

To THE dangers due to the arsenic en-
tcring into the pigment used in staining
green wallpaper must now be addcd, it
appears, others produced by what is
known as corallnc dye, at present en-
ployed so much in the cOloring of red
hangings. 1t is stated, however, that the
poisonous symptoms in this casc-cXtcnd-
ing to acute cruptions Of the body when
undergarments thus dyed are worn, and
to eye diseases in papcrcd roomS-arc
owing not directly to the corallinc itself,
since recent experiments have proved that
substance to be harmless, but to an arsen-
ical mOrdant made use of in fixing it.
The latter, it is found, acts as a poison,
both topically upon the skin, through
contact with garments, and also by its
dust and vapors, disengaged from the
stuff which it colors.-N. Y. Sun.
AN improved eXtinguishcr for street
lamps has been invented, popularity OF
the construction in this case consisting Of
an arrangement by which, when the pres
sure upon the gas is increased at the gas
house above the amount to resist which u
cup is weighted, the cup will be forced
upward, raising the lower end of the tube
above mercury, and allowing the gas TO
pass through the tube to the burner.
This tube is held down against the in
creased pressure by The catch, which Is
pivoted to small bracket attached to the
cover; and, as the cup and tube descend
upon the decrease of the pressure, the edge
of tlange strikes the catch, pushes it
back, and passes below 1.-THE catch i'm
mediately swinging forward over this
hange, preventing the rise of the cup and
tube until the catch has been drawn back
When the time for lighting the street
lamp approaches, the pressure upon the
gas is increased to the desired point at the
gas-house; then, as the lamplightcr comes
to each post, he pushes back the catch,
and as the tube cap prises with the pressure,
he lights the escaping gas. When the
time for putting out the lights arrives, the
attendant at the gas-housG reduces the
| pressure to the proper point, and all the
| lights are put out at the same time.

the air so that nothing could be discerned.
The roar Of the wind was appalling, and
every one paralyzed by fear. The dura-
ton of the tornado could not have been
longer than one-half of minute. As
soon as it subsidized, the people began to
venture out. The sight that met their
eyes was such as to make the stoutest
heart quail. The main street of our city,
from Water street to Clark, distance OF
some twenty squares, was filled with
bricks, porches, signs and the de-
bris of destroyed buildings. The loss
of life has not yet been ascertained. So
far two bodies have been taken from the
ruins of the gas-works, James Gpsncy
and his little son; both were found in the
retort house under one of the massive re-
torts. The child was closely clasped in
the arms of its father. Both bodies were
crushed so as to be unrecognizable.
-..-... ST. Louis, Feb. 2S.
Later advices from st. Charles state
that the damage by the tornado yesterday
was much exaggerated; but it is still be
lieved TO be heavy, probably from $780,
600 to $3.50, 900. The remains of George
Lincbur, a boy, were found in the debris
this morning, making three person killed
by the storm. About twenty persons were
injured.

A Village Destroyed by Prairie
Fire.

PARTICULARS of a terrible prairie fire
near Ellis, on the Kansas Pacific, were
given few days ago. About the same
time, according to other and later adj
vices, the town of Cottonwood Falls, fur
thcr east, was scourged with flame. A
fierce gale brought in devastating prai
rie fire from the south. Everything in
its track, including numerous ranch
buildings, haystacks, and even horses and
cattle, was burned up, and the inhabit-
ants themselves barely escaped with their
lives The flames fairly bounded into
the south part of the town, and so sudden
ly, too that the people were appalled, at
the sight, and in an incredibly short time
the fire was roaring and cracking among
the small dwellings, stables and fences.
Wagons were employed to haul furni-
ture and valuables from the endangered
buildings, and 1.-THE women and children,
wild with fright, were huddled together
in the Court House, many OF them pray
ing SC. loudlysas to be distinctly heard
in the streets When the southern half
of the town had been laid waste, the
gale abated suddenly, and, at the same
time, shifted around and turned the blaze
back over its track of devastation. This,
together with the superhuman efforts of
the men, averted any greater calamity
than had already bcfallen the place.
While the fire was at its height, accord
ing 10 the statement of an eyewitness,
the heat was so intense along the front
of the blaze that no one could walk with
in 200 feet of it, and the whole space
above was filled with whirling smoke,
tongues Of flame, and burning shingles
and other tinder fragments caught up by
the gale A Mr.. Williams, Coroner of
the county, in racing with the flames,
had the hair burned off his head, and he
escaped from this taste of Tophet with a
charred scalp. The fire caught up with Il
teamster named John O'Byrne, and licked
the overcoat off his back, and he only
saved himself by rolling over and over on
the ground A colored man at work in a
quarry south cf the town lost his hair,
and saved himself by crawling under a
ledge of rocks. The cause of all this
was spark from "a farm house chimney
three miles south of the town.--Denuer
Neaes.
