a barbarous custom sometimes adopted OF

less, she survived, after hanging some con-
siderable time. Her body WAS given up
for dissection. The surgeon observed
faint signs of animation, tended her in

NEWS OFTHE WEEK,
Eng;ish Grain Market.


The Mark Lane Express says the pres
ent aspect Of the wheat plant does not appear
to give rise to any complaints. The average
sown may be taken at about the average,
while somewhat larger breadth than usual
has been put under spring corn. Supplies Of
English wheat have been moderate in London
and the principal country markets. A weaker
tone OF trade, consequent upon the diminishing
political apprehensions, has been noticed in u
decline Of about one shilling per quarter, as
the millers continue to operate sparingly,
their requirements being light and the wealth
or not adverse to the prospects of future crops
The time has now come when America and
Russia will resume their usual places on the
list OF countries whence We derive our prin.
cipal supplies Of red wheat. Last Monday the
arrival list showed the importation Of about
::H,0OO quarters of wheat, nearly all OF which
was furnished by those countries. But at
present the interest ccntcrs principally in
America, seeing that the requirements OF
southern Europe will probably relieve this
country Of very large proportion of the grain
from the Black Sea, and the unusual number
M grain laden steamers from Odessa and
southern Russia ports having been diverted to
Marsicllcs. This continental demand has.
been largely felt Of late at Mark Lane, where
the exports last week amounted to upwards of
fifteen thousand quarters. The demand of

PickWick in GERMANY.

Mr.. Pickwick, Dickens to the contrary,
was really native of Germany, and the
following story has been told about him :
The antiquarian stood before stable

stone fixed in the archway, which bore
the inscription 1851. Calling the tenant
farmer, ne said: Am right, my friend,
in supposing that you procured this stone
from the castle ruin on the hill yonder?'
"It may be-" replied the owner, "that
my grandfather fetched it when he built
the stable The professor asked him
what he would take for the stone. "Since
you seem to have fancy tor it," said the
farmer, "pay me down forty guildcrs,
and 1 will leave it at your house" "That
is rather large sum-" said the professor
"never mind; bring it to me tomorrow
morning, and you shall have the forty
guilders." On the next morning, wheu
the peasant brought the stone upon the
truck, the Jealous antiquarian eagerly
turned ii over to refresh his eyes with a
sight of its chronological inscription.
Why" said he, in amazement, "what is
this? This is not the right stone. Yes

Drowned at Niagara Falls.

Two brothers, John and Patrick Reil-
Icy, residing at Chippewa, Ont, visited
this place Monday, crossing the river in
ordinary row boats, one brother arriving
some time later in the day than the 9th
or. After the business which they came
over to transact had been dispatched, the
two men started to return, about 6 80
o'clock in the evening. One Of the boats
having been taken back to the Chippewa,
the two brothers started to cross the
stream together in the remaining craft.
1t is known that both the tated men par
took more or less literally OF Intoxicating
drink while in the village, and in this
fact lies the only explanation of their
suicidal folly in choosing the route they
did when they left Port Day for their
Canadian home. For instead OF rowing
up the river the usual distance before at
tcmpting to cross, the men pulled directly
tor Chippewa village. Two or three par
ties who were at Port Day when the two
men started out noted the dangerous
route which they had taken, but as both
the Reilley brothers were known to be
we'll acquainted with tire river, they
naturally supposed that when they
found they could not cross so low down
the stream they would pull up and cross
in one of the usual tracks.
In apparently utter ignorance of the
rapidity which the treacherous curreu
bore the boat down the stream, the two
brothers pulled steadily on their way.
as the boat swept lower and lower, the
attention of others on the bank of the
river became attracted to the impending
catastrophe. When the boat as seen
from this shore, had apparently gotten
we'll over into the strong Canadian cur
rent; it had drifted far down tho river,
and at last. when too )ate, the brothers
appeared to realize their position. The
boat was headed up the stream, and the
men bent to their oars with desperate
energy. Finding that they were power
less to stem the current, and having drift
ed into close proximity to the first of the
terrible reefs at the head of the Canadian
rapids, the two men were seen to dciiber-
ately turn their boat round and with
steady strokes pull their craft safely over
to the reefs. The watchers on this side Of
the river then lost sight of both men and
boat, but others on Streets Island and in
the Loretto Convent, on the Canada shore
say that the boat safely jumped the third
reef, when boat and men disappeared in
the boiling rapids, and we're never seen
again.
The supposition is that when the men
determined to attempt shooting the reefs
they had faint hope that they might
reach shore by taking advantage of the
comparatively quiet water below the reefs
"a desperate struggle for life, which
proved to be futile. Pieces Of the boat
were found the next day in the river below
the falls, but as yet nothing has been seen
of the bodies of the unfortunate men.

leaves wife, but no children. A mother
and two sisters mourn double loss.-

A Militia Riot.

At Coal Creek, Ind, mining town
seven miles south Of Coyington, in Fountain
'ounty, on the 18th inst, military company
composed of miners, who were on the strike
year ago, were drilling during the day and
night. While some Of them were in Il saloon
with their arms stacked in corner, they be-
came engaged in an alteration with IL negro,
who had been sent in for more liquor by 81
party of negros who were having spree, re-
soultmg in the killing of<the negro. The
whites then moved through the streets, shoot
ing negroes on sight, killing two more and
,nortally wcunding another. The excitement
has been great. The Governor. in answer to
y call for help declined until the sheriff should
signify his inability to preserve order. The
sheriff has since requested the presence of the
adjutant general, and made n rcquisition for
ammunition.

Watching the Tigers.

The Gagged lion or tiger is seen at a
great disadvantage; he is prisoner, and
cannot be expected to show off, At the
London Geological Gardens playground
has been attached to the cages of the IT,
gers, sufficiently large Tor them to sport
in and exhibit some of their jungle hab-
its. Mr.. Buckland thus describes in Land
and Water what he saw while looking at
the tigers in their playground:
It was indeed beautiful sight to see
these lovely, gigantic cats, the four tigers
gradually emerge one by one into their
new, large, open playground. When they
arrived at the opening 1t was beautiful
to watch them crouch down, making
themselves appear Us small as possible.
Finding nothing hurt or alarmed them,
they curiously examined the trunks Of
the trees and rock work placed there for
their especial benefit They trusted to their
sense of smell rather than to their sense
OF s; ght.
One Of the greatest ornaments the
tigers head possesses besides the regula-
tion ' mark over the eyes, which is ob-
servable in ali thoroug bred tigers, the
loveliness of their couhtenances is much
enchanced by the long graceful whiskers,
situated for the most part on each side of
the upper lip.
To the lower end of each whisker is
adjoined is very large bulb of nerve
matter, and from this bulb of ncrve-mat.
ter goes directly to the brain a nerve
This nerve is in fact telegraph-wire

news is received.
When the tiger is crouching for o,
gradually creeping up to its prey in the
jungle, these whiskers act like so man y
sentries, which warn it to keep the right
or left, that the coast is clear or obstruct,
cd, SO that when the animals's eyes arc
fully occupied watching its prey, they
act as watchful sentries to guide it.
When the four tigers were loose in theil
play ground, and the door closed behind
them, they at once began to play, and
very beautiful were their movements 81
they ran after each other, tumbled and
gambolled like young kittens before ,
fire, their coats looking like satin in the
| warm sun.
All Of sudden a new and to to them
most interesting object made its ap
pearance. This was young and very
white zebu calf of few days old, which
came out OF its shed, that was situated il

The moment he saw it one Of the tigerl

stationary an: statue-like, watching the
innocent-looking baby zebu. He was al

inches Of which kept jerking from side tc

and rediness for immediate action.

arriage In 4 Livery Stable.


The Dayton, Ohio, Journal, few days

way and novel marriage of \ Cincinnati
couple:

hurriedly up Ludlow street, and, stopping 1t
Fourth. they turned to Mumma's livery sta
BILE and inquired of the proprietor if they
could have horse and buggy for few
hours. He assured them that vehicle was
at their disposal.
The young man seemed somewhat flurried
and in doubt. After looking at the lady a
moment he turned to Mr.. Mumma and in
quired. rather falteringly:
"You haven't got any place here where We
can get married, have you?"
Somewhat taken aback, Mr.. Mumma
looked at them a moment, then scratched
his head, and replied:
"Well, I've got a sort of parlor right here
that can fx up for you in three minutes.
It's carpeted, got a sofa in it, and lots of
pictures better looking place than many
you'll find.''
''That will do splendidly," said the young
man. Scan you get US minister"
ssIn FIVE minutes" said Mr.. Mumma.
'Well, I'll 60 get license, and, my DEAR -
said he to the lady, lyon remain here till
return.''
In ten minutes the young man was bacl
with his license. Mr.. Mumms was ut hand
with Rev. w. J. Shuey, and in five minutes
John Henry Gibbard and Frank Bancroft
were man and wife.
The young man drew . sigh of relief,
looked at the lady, and, paying no attention
to those about him, put his arms around hel
and imprinted . fond kiss on her tips, that
was returned as fondly, and whispered in
her ear, ''safe, darling.'
.'Would You like to have marriage certi
fcate?" asked the minister.
"Oh, no; we don't care for that 10 long 4.
we're married. Do we, Frankie?''
The lady nodded acquiescently.
"Now We want to ride about for an hour
but to be back in time for the Cincinnati
train.''
"Here's your buggy" said Mr.. Mumma.
They returned in IN hour, and left on th.
train at the Union depot bound for Cincin
