Getting In.
Detroit News

L
A young, newly married gentleman of this
city acts as chief counter-jumper in certain
large Woodward avenue dry-goods house,
and goes, among his acquaintance, by the
name of Mac. A little more than two weeks
ago Macs wife went West for month to visit
her mother. Mac did not quite like it, but
consoled himself with the thought that dur
ing her absence he would at least save the
price of months board. What was his
surprise, however, when he came to pay his
first weeks board bill some ten days ago, to
find his landlady insisted on being paid for
board for two, she stating that it was GUS
tomary, in such cases, to make no deduction
on account of the absence of either one of
two boarders occupying the same room.
Mac settled and said nothing, but way
down in the depths of his heart there ranked
resentment at the gross injury that had been
| done him
The next day at dinner there appeared a
smooth faced young man, fellow clerk of
Macs, who was introduced to the landlady
as Mrs. Mac pro tenn, The landlady saw the
point, and said nothing, but the look OF
silent fury that settled down over her face
spoiled that days dinner for all her boaders
i The new conner took three meals in the house
and then disappeared. He could not stand
the ferecious looks of Mrs. -, he said
Besides, he added, he never had dish put
before him but that he found a hair, piece
4 of yarn, hair-pin, OF a shoe-buckle in it
and, strange to say, it seemed that the same
hair-pin and shoe buckle turned up at eacl
successive meal.
The next day at noon the landlady face
frightened as she noticed the vacant chat
at Macs right. At night, however, anothe
shade of gloo overspread her countenanc'

Relations with Mexico.

Accounts from the Texas border show
that recently there has been but few if any in
cursions from the Mexican side. Members of
Congress who have the subject of our relations
with Mexico under consideration, say the de-
lay of our government in recognizing that OF
Mexico, has produced an improved condition
of affairs on the border, but that government
has not yet done what is required by our own
as prerequisite to recognition. One of the
most serious causes Of complaint is that oul
citizens are not protected from the forced
loan, while British and French subjects resid
ing IN Mexico are it is said, not subjected tt
such illegal transactions. ,I5

A special from Washington saws sever
al Senators have of late discussed among
themselves the propriety OF preparing joint
resolution which should express deep regrets
on the part of the people Of the United States
at the prospect of serious misunderstanding
and interruption Of peaceful relations between
the people of Great Britain and Russia, and
requesting the President to use means, as far

"A Terrible Tragedy.

A variety company from Mosart's Gar
den, Brooklyn, has been playing in
the Opera house at Pawtucket, r. I. One
feat is the shooting of an apple from the head
or hand of the performer. Mile. Volante,
trapeze performer, held the apple on her head
and Mrs. Jennie Fowler, known on the stage
as Franklin, was to shoot the apple. With
uncommon recklessness she stood with her
back to the mark taking aim by reflection in
mirror. The..rife was discharged, and Mile.
Volante fell dead on the stage, shot through
the forehead. Nothing can be learned of the
victim who has been on the public stage but
five weeks. Mrs. Franklin, was taken into
custody by the police. ...-.

At Sacramento, Cal, according to q
local newspaper, there are two animated
barometers which have proved trust
worthy, even when the artificial instru-

fish which is kept in a water trough. No
matter how clear the weather may be and
before the Earometers have indicated a

Foreign Grain Markets.

The Mark Lane Erpress says reports
concerning the wheat plant from all parts Of
the kingdom continue satisfactory. The
country trade is steady but not active. The
provincial markets are scantily supplied with
home grown grain. Imports of foreign wheat
into London have been liberal. The pressure
to sell American wheat brought about slight
reduction in the value of this class of grain.
Russia is anxious to dispose of her produce,
and with her and America competing it is diff
ficult to see whence the trade is to derive
strength to enable prices to hold up. India
may be disregarded for a time, as she cannot
ship much wheat until the new crop is gath
cred, but Germany has been steadily export
ing to This country.
Politics have once more monopolized the
entire attention of trade. With fair arrivals
posts Of call, floating cargo trade for wheat is
firm, and, owing to the more unsettled state
ofpolitical matters, prices have advanced two
Or three shillings per quarter. The CONT
mental demand continues. Maize improved
nine pence to a shilling per quarter. Barley
ruled firm, at sixpence per quarter advance.
