a Fair Stakeholder.

Two Chicago ladies became greatly
agitated over the prospective results of
the election.
''I'll bet Hayes is elected, said one of
them.
"And I'll bet Tilden is, said the 9th
er lady promptly.
'Put the bets up in my hands," re-
marked third young lady standing near
"All right" cried the two, and into her
hands went the stakes.
That same afternoon the young lady
holding the forfeits Put on the watch
and chain, and prancing down town Gid
ed around until she had spent $40 of the
money for gloves, $50 for a cloak, SIS
for hat, and $50 for new kind of bus
tie and other things.
And now she is waiting for the official
returns, when she will decide that both
of the betters have lost the watch and
chain, and that she is entitled to theSlOO
as recompense for her trouble.

Fine Gold JeWelry

ever brought to Jackson since the war;
This elegant stock of Rich Jewelry was Sc
lected by myself from several thousand dol
lars worth. sent to me for inspection by va
rious New York Manufacturers and Whole
sale jewelers. In the selection Of my Jewelry
picked thus personally from these extensive
resources, | have exercised the ARTISTS TASTE
as to beauty and elegance, while my expe-
rience of twenty-seven years as practical
Jeweler and Matchmaker, was used with par
ticular care in the selection Of QUALITY AND

In consideration of the scarcity of money,
the old and tried business adage: Small
profits and quick sales" will be strictly and

why His Dog Esit Him.

About a week ago we heard one of our
leading citizens Dragging about his watch
dog. He went on TO say that Nero was
a splendid watchdog; that he would
never growl at child, and at night he
would tear anybody to pieces he found
about the premises.
"Ain't you afraid" we asked, "that he
will bite you some night when you come
home late?"
"Not bit of it he is too intelligent.
He knows my step as soon as | put my
foot on the gallery. Why, l wouldn't
take $500 for that dog. He is the most
reliable biting dog in San Antonio"
About three days after the foregoing
conversation took place, one morning
early we met policeman leading this
identical dog to the suburbs.
"What are you doing with Major
Jones dog ?" we wanted to know.
He gave him to me to take him out
and shoot him 2"
"What for ?" we asked in amaze
ment.
because he tackled the major last
night on his coming home, and bit him
in thirteen places; he will not be down
for a week"
"But [ heard the major say that dog
was intelligent; that he knew his step,
and wouldn't bite him, no way he could
fix it that he wouldn't take $500 for the
animal"
'The dog amt to blame for it" said
the policeman, gazing sadly at poor Nero,
90 it's the majors own fault"
"How so ." we inquired.
':,Well," responded the policeman,
slowly, "the dog did know his step and
never growled at him before, but last
night, for the first time since he has had
the dog, the major came home three hours
earlier than usual, and perfectly sober,
and somehow his step was different from
that the dog was used to !; he didn't tan
gle up his legs as much as common, and
the dog was fooled by it, took him for
perfect stranger and bounced him. The
dog amt to blame he missed the smell
of whisky, he didn't hear the major whoop
and cuss and fall down in the cellar as he
always does when he comes home, so
Nero kept on biting the major in fresh
places until the family interfered.
Come on Nero!" and the sad funeral
cortege resumed the line of march for
the brush

aeve failed to present my claims in a
manner to warrant your favorable con-
slderation, can never hope to do so.
In the infancy Of your State, in the
first year of her existence, when her
people were few in number, without
wealth or commerce, I contidingly
rlsked my fortune on her good faith
and future growth and greatness.
Her place in the constellation of
States is assured, and her good faith
and honor I have never assailed or
doubted.
When I earned these bonds was in
the prime of my business life-a gene
ration has passed away-my business
contemporaries have most of them
gone forever, and I am admonished
that my ''sands' have we'll nigh run.
I have reached a period in life which
requires my business affairs to be closed
evenif make sacrifices. May Inot with
confidence present these considerations
0 you with a hope that you will appre-
ciate them and give my claim early and
favorable consideration.
Very respectfully submitted,

Review Of the Markets.


The wholesale trade has been very
! dry goods, domestics are still advancing.
sheetings, standard, are sold at &c. and are
| held firm, while Lawrence IS are firm at 7c.
| All leading brands of cottons have advanced
rom x to 1c. Lonsdales and Prints are held
! firm at l1%c. Dark and medium prints are
| scarce at * for leading makes. Ginghams
have advanced to g.! tor staples and l0H for
dress styles.
There are no changes to note in the grocery,
| Gather or drug markets; neither i'll hard
ware.
Flour has taken still another advance in the
mills OF the Northwest; straight xxx is
at SC. .5o@7.oo, while XXX is salable at $3.50
! per Dbl.
No. 2 wheat may I've quoted as follows New
York, sl.4s; Chicago, sl.sl; Milwaukee, sl.aa
St. Paul, sl.a0; Minneapolis, $l.20.
Corn and Oats are sold only by the carload
| in St. Paul and other Northwestern markets,
and are not contracted in advance. The
| price for corn is 43@45c for choice, and for
| oats37c.
Barley, No. 2, sells readily al 55@70c.
Butter and eggs are about as last reported
the former plenty in shipping grades, and
scarce in better lots, while eggs are very
scarce. AS for butter, each consignor must
make his own price as scarcely two lots in a
week are sold at the same figure. Eggs sell
readily at Csc, for fresh.
The following are the outside quotations for
