BRADFORD.

As it has been several weeks since
our town was represented in the col
umns of the EXCHANGE, we think a
few lines from here will be admissible.
Our town has been very dull for the
last two weeks. Owing chiefly to the
excitement caused by fallaciOus re-
ports OF the yellow fever. 1t has been
rumored through our section of the
country that the yellow destroyer was
in our midst. There is not, and has
heen no fever here. The health of
our vicinity was never better.
The farmers are gathering their cot
ton crops; several loads of cottcn have
been brought in for sale. The prices
range near three cents in the seed.
We close with success to the Ex>
CHANGE, and with the hope that the
fell destroyer Yellow Jack will soon
be stopped in his wild career, by the
appearance of a large frost.
As ever, &C., r. L. H.

New York Hon Market.

The New York hop markets. reviewed y
Emmett Wells circular as follows: We
have to report a very quiet market this
week. The receipts, and shipments to
Europe, have been comparatively small, and
but little trade has been doing with brewers,
most of whom are well stocked. We pre-
diet a quiet market from this time down to
the new crop, unless something should
threaten the vine III July or August, giving
rise to speculation and higher prices. The
export traffic has about spent its force, and
the scarcity of desirable shipping hops will
tend to check further movement in that
direction. Nearly all of our large brewers
having taken advantage of the low prices
and filed their lofts, trade for the future,
of a retail character, is about all that can be
looked for. Prices remain unchanged.

GENERAL FOREIGN NOTES.

1t is understood that the foreign policy of
the new Italian government will be that of
strict neutrality ON the eastern question.
Italy will, however, exert to the cost her
influence in the congress to oppose Russian
.predominance in Europe by seeking to ex-
tend the Hellenic kingdom, and constituting
other christian nationaIities.
THE United States steamer Enterprise,
with the consent of the Brazilian authorities,
will make survey of the Amazon and Ma
deria rivers as far as navigable, then pro-
ceed to San Domingo and remain there, if
the troubles demand her presence.
SIXTY Cuban insurgents with arms, 151
unarmed, 118 women and 1874 minors, have

SIX thousand persons have been attacked

IT is reported that Cardinal Franchi has
assured distinguished foreigner that Pope
Leo wished for a strong and united Italy.
He only required firm assurance of the

A TELEGRAM from Jamaica says revolu-

was after it; he got out of bed and went
to where she was, but could not see or
hear anything. He told his wife he
guessed the duck had gone crazy. Next
morning he went to where the old duck
was sitting upon her eggs, under brush
pile, and-imagine his astonishment-he
saw large blacksnake coiled up under
the duck, his snakeship having swallowed
twelve eggs. Mr.. Williams cut its head

them under the duck, and eleven OF that

The Lost and Found.
From the New Orleans Times.

The sudden death of Henry P. Bayley
recalls a strange and tragic incident in
his history. G. w. r. Bayley, the civil
and having determined to locate here,
sent to New York for his wife and two
children. Mrs. Bayley embarked on a
sailing ship, which in terrible storm
was wrecked on one of the Sankey's of
the Bahamas. She, with her two chill
dren, was with other passengers carried
ashore to the nearest point of land. The
storm increased in violence, and the low
slip of land upon which the passengers
were stationed was about to be over
flowed by the rising tide, and to secure
safety 1t became necessary to cross dur
ing the night broad slough to higher
point of land. Mrs. Bayley took her two
children in her arms and attempted to
wade across the slough, but when about
midway huge wave swept her and her
children down the current of the slough,
and her despairing shrieks and the cries
OF her infants rang out in the stormy
midnight, but were soon hushed by the
bowling winds and roaring waves. Mrs.
Bayley and her eldest child were lost;
but many hours after the storm had gone
down and succor had come to the sur
viving passengers and crew, a search was
made down the coast for bodies and, per-
chance, some survivors. While making
this search low wall was heard among
some scrubby bushes, and close search
showed an infant seven months old,
lodged against shrub, with its body
nearly buried in the sand, feebly fight
ing with its little hands the encroaching
waves and sands. That child was Henry
2. Bayley.

Something for American Girls.

cincinnati Enquirer, London Lettee
An American girl went over to Paris
with her brother the other day, and the
instant she was left alone with their
companion in the carriage, middle-aged
Frenchman, he insulted her. She told
her brother when he returned, and there
was a fearful outDurst. The Frenchman
gave his card, and said he was deeply
sorry, and would abide by the decision
of the other as to the consequences to
ensue for his mistake, but certainly he
never suspected Mademoiselle was lady,
as she was painted The brother ap-
pealed to the best authorities in Paris in
these matters to learn what the code was
under these circumstances, and all the
men of the Jockey Club told him that if
his sisters eyelashes were blackened and
her cheeks rouged, he could have no re-
dress. as these practices were never fol-
lowed by une demoiselle du monde.

An Expensive Pet.
From the Rodout Freeman.

An uptown chap was made the pres
ent of very pretty young rabbit the
other day. He kept it for two or three
days, during which time it pretty well
chewed up lounge and the cushions of
three chairs, and then commenced on
the atlas of Ulster county. By the time
1t had eaten up three towns and half a
dozen of the magnificent engravings con-
tanned in said atlas, the owner made up
his mind it was altogether too expensive
bird " for him, so he took it over to
a lady friend and made her present of
1t. Sine very sensibly put the "dear
pet in the wood-house where he can
chew to his hearts content.
