BIRD THAT CAUSED A DIVORCE.

| Vampires or huge bats, which are re-
puted to extract the blood from human
| Deings while sleeping, and eagles which
| fly off to their nests with babies to sup
ply the eaglets with their suppers, are
regarded as dangerous birds, but q par
rot-why, a parrot will, at times, as l
shall relate, wreck the peace Of a house
hold and almost drive its victims to sui
eide. Now, there used TO be one
| kept on Baltimore street, in Bal
ImOre in 1872, which led to a divorce
between AS uuppy IL couple as the Mon
| umental City could boast. Mr. and Mrs.
| Wood were parroJiZed. They owned a
| most wonderful bird-a large gray Afri-
| can-whioh, Tor profanity, intelligence
and mischief was unequaled. The first
named habit, to be sure, Was partially
cured, though not unfrequently at the
morning meal the family would be sa-
| luted with:
"D-n you, want my breakfast" but
the mischief, backed by the Intelligence,
was what brought woe 10 Nj. anu Mrs.
Wood.
The wife was exceedingly handsome,
and had many beauX previous to mar
rlage; she was still, though it must be
confessed, given to flirting. Alas that
such can truly be said Of many Of our
married ladies'. Yet the tongue of SLAM
der had NOT touched Aer-the human
tongue, | mean.
Now, occasionally visiting Mrs. Wood
you would find there Gus Leamlng. The
Leaning family and that OF Mrs. W oOu's
father had ever been the closest friends,
and Gus thought nothing OF stepping
into Mr. WOoQ's to hold conversat ii Oh
with the wife while the husband was at
his business place.
Against Gus Leaning this African
iend conceived an intense haired. The
cause OF his animosity, | fancy, grew
out or the TACT that Gus on one occasion
put his fingers through the bars OF the
cage, when the bird fastened on to one
OF them, and Gus was compelled to rap
it on the head ere it would loosen its
mold. How it cursed him when he came
into the room where it hung in its cage.
The Wood oft thought of parting with
this creature, but then he was "too
smart and cunning for the World.'
Better thousand times had they sold
or given him away, for ere long he raised
IL domestic storm which wrecked two
lives.
One day as Mr.. W ood entered the sit
tlng-r0om on bis return from his store
mis- wife and Gus being there, while the
parrot was In his cage against the wall
the bird cried out, sharply:
THAT man kissed your witeI That
man kissed your wiieF
The husband glanced at the pair, and,
Of course, they looked confused and ex.
cited. The bird again reiterated:

DON'T BRING OUT THE ALBUM,

A young lady of proper Judgment will
never bring out The family photograph
album TO show her new beau, no more
than she would take him to the grave OF
her deceased grandmother. There is
depression and weariness and disgust
with life in looking over family
photograph album, against which
the most philosophic among us
is not proof. Many girl

ness OF heart to some time in the past
when, in an awkward pause in the con-
versation, she brought out the family
photograph album and entered upon q
series OF brief biographical sketches.
Fatal moment! Unfortunate expedient,
she saw him yaWn; she ma ked the va.
cant air he wore, she beheld him leave
her; but it was not till atterward she
learned the crushing truth that when
that family photograph album was
opened love, witherinS fed, and not
even hope remained.

THE condition Of trade is always
matter of deep concern to all our read
ers. The following extracts from pa
perB at the leading trade centers will
therefore be read with interest. The
Chicago Tribune says: "The heavy
rains Of the last few days have extended
over wide area, and have interfered
with transactions in nearly every de-
partment of trade and finance. The
movement of produce to market has
been impeded by the condition of the
country roads. Orders tor reassort-
ments Of dry goods are beginning to
arrive with considerable freedom,
which may be accepted as an indication
that the goods purchased earlier
In the season are rapidly passing
Into consumption, and that the jobbing
trade will continue good for some weeks
yet" The Pioneer Press, OF st. Paul,
Immense; there can be no further doubt
bf it, A booming trade during the past
week In every department OF the jobbing
interest has kept employer and en-
ployed up to the full tension of their
physical and mental powers night and
day. The amount OF goods going out is
simply enormous. Measured by the
values of few years ago, the aggre-
gate cost of the goods so far sold
this season would be astonishing
The greatly reduced current value
Of the goods thus far sold and
sent out would be astonishing to
one not acquainted with the i'm
mense trade OF st. Paul. What is equal
ly agreeable, payments are making with
unusual promptitude and in unusual
volume" The Piltsburg Telegraph in
forms US that 'joDbers generally report
fair run of trade with an excellent
prospect for the coming winter from
business standpoint" and the CONNER
cial Gazette, Of the same city, says ''an
active and steady trade is doing by the
leading wholesale and commission
houses. The dry goods houses are kept
busy supplying q liberal volume of
jobbing orders, and this department OF
trade is experiencing more pros
perity this season than TOR
many years. General merchandise
is also active and steady"
The St. Louis GlObe-Democrat says:
"Although it is possible the rush last
week was not 80 great Of interior mer-
chants as was experienced during the
period the fair was in operation, still
the trade has been fully up to the eXpec-
tations OF our dealers, and emineGtiy

Price Current says: "The volume OF
