New York Hon MARKET.

Relative to the hop trade Emmett Wells in
his circular of the Goth inst, says: A few
hops have been placed with brewers at
prices within the range of our quotations,
but the export traffic has been nothing to
speak of. Some of our exchanges are be-
ginning to give estimates of the coming
crop, a few putting the yield at one-half,
and others at two-thirds If last years; but
! they leave the growers in the dark as to
what they consider the amount of hops
grown last year Estimates OF the II crop
ranged all the way from 10000 to 100000
bales. Our estimate was 200, 900 bales; this
was before the crop was entirely gathered.
| We now believe it reached nearer 100000
bales; therefore, putting the consumption
at 125,000 bales, if we grow one-half the
amount we did las year we will have just
enough TO carry us through, leaving none
to spare for export; but if the yield equals
two-thirds of last year'swe shall have 10000
to $4,000 bales surplus. Receipts for the
week, $50 bales; exports for the week, 179
bales. Quotations: New York good to
prime, logic; low to fair, 7@9c; eastern
| 7Q10c; Wisconsin, 7@10c; yearlings, 2@3c

Battle of Languages IN Paris.

Ella, if it's bore to hear English
spoken at every turn, in every possible
and impossible accent, it's simply awful
to hear the Anglo-Saxon, insular and
continental, wrestling with French. Oh
dear! oh dear. oh dear! | say, you
c0ch0n! arret! stop nous v0uLes ing
eoucher!" was the frantic cry of York
shireman, who jumped up and down to-
day in Rue Scribe, wildly waving his UNI
brella at every empty cab, while fat
wife and two fat daughters brandished
parasols with similar intent. ''Sacre
blue!" exclaimed the first driver,
whom do you call coch0n?' CochOn
yourself! " and off he drove. Bob and |
nearly died laughing to see the procession
OF cabs that the Yorkshire man reviewed
IN the course of ten minutes. and the
rage into which the c0chers flew. Not
one, but drove away faster than he came.
+" Why the devil don't they stop?" at
last cries the Yorkshiremen. Then Bob
ventured to tell him that if he would
substitute cocher for c0chon he'd have no
further trouble. " What's the differ
ence?" he asked. When Bob informed
him that c0cher was one of the most in
sulting epithets in the French language,
Yorkshire replied: "Confound these
people! Why don't they get some other
word and spell it differently? Pll wager
they do it to bother us English! Cocher!
arret! stop!" Cocher stopped. AUes-

how Thomas Jefferson Looked

| There is graphic picture of him
given by writer who saw him at eighty
one, representing him as dressed nc
longer IN the red breeches which were
once famous as his favorite and rather
conspicuous attire, but still vindicatine
by saDgulne waistcoat his attachment
to that republican color; in gray shorts,
small silver knee-buckles, gray woollen
stockings, black slippers, blue body
coat, surmounted by gray spencer
He was tall, and though 1.-the and de-
cidedly graceful and agile, long and i'll
limbed. Yet his figure was command
ing and striking, though bad, and his
face most animated and agreeable,
though remarkably ugly" His leg had
never been conscious of a calf, but he
walked well and swiftly and with a
hghtness and springiness of tread such
as few young men have. He mounted
his horse without assistance and rode
some ten miles day; dismounting at a
fence breast-high he would leap over it,
only placing his hand on the topmost
rail.
OF Jefferson as he appeared sixty-three
years before, when he was a student at
Williamsburg, Va, John Esten Cooke
has given description as interesting.
He was, says Mr.. Cooke, tall and thin.
and his face angular and far from beau
tiful. His complexion was sunburned.
his hair of sandy red, and his eyes gray,
hecked with baZel-an indication gen
orally of intellect. x He dressed
somewhat after the fashion of beau, in
lowered waistcoat, a silk coat, silk stock
ings confined at the knee by fancifully
worked carriers, and used powder" car
ried his fine laced hat beneath his arm.
bowed low, paid gallant compliments to
the fair sex and danced at every "assem
bly," He was hard student, working
fifteen hours day, and was an excellent
performer on the violin. Of "Ossian's"
poetry, then just given to the literary
world, he raved; he intended studying
Gaelic so as to read this greatest of bards
in the original.-C0r. ". y. World.

The ClOfheS-Line.

Come now, what internal barbafity is
this-leaving the clothes-line out after
dark A great deal of funny comment
has been made upon the custom by
thoughtless people, but it is a most seri-
Gus matter, and it is high time the tom
foolery was abolished. We are Just as
ready as anybody to see the funny side
of any thing, but we have ceased to see
anything amusing in being unexpect-
edly sawed across the neck or rasped
across the face by clothes-line 1t is
time there was a legislative enactment
either to hang clothes-lines sixty feet
above the earth, or make leaving them
out after nightfall states prison
offense.
1t is most incomprehensible fact
that clothes-li line is always hung across
the garden-path. If the yard was ten
miles square and path two feet wide
crept along close to the fence, and the
woman had but five feet of line, she would
manage to cover the path. Whether
| this is because she is perverse, or cannot
help it, we do not know. We only know
that it is an appalling evil. No home
circle is safe where this custom prevails.
1t matters not how gOod-natured a man
is, it matters not how carefully he has
been educated, it matters not how lofty
and noble are his aspirations-the mo-
ment clothes-line catches him under
the chin, especially if he has pan of
ashes in his arms, that moment he sinks
with awful velocity to the level of the
brute, and proceeds to act out the con-
ditions thereof at once. In its proper
place a clothes-line is valuable com
panion, but across path after dark it
| is simply brutalizng force.

The following story is told of Speaker
RandalPs grandfather, leading lawyer
IN Philadelphia. He was clear headed
If he had fee beforehand. A stranger
came to consult him about a will and
forgot the usual fee. The case involved
a good deal of property. The client
began: My father died and made a
will" He then stated the case, consum-
ing an hour in doing 50. Do you I'M
derstand the matter, Mr.. Randall?"
" No, | do not" The client left in dis
gust. He told his trouble to a friend,
WHO advised him to secure Mr.. Randall.
" Stupid old dolt," said the man, "he
don't know anything" What retainer
did you give him." said the friend.
Oh, l forgot that" Go back and
give the old man a hundred dollar bill
and see what will come of it." Mr..
Randall received him as though he had
never seen him before, pocketed his fee
and said: Now state your case"
My father died and made a will"
Stop, SIR said the lawyer, that is
very queer; how could he make will
after he was dead? Don't you mean
that he made will and died7" Why,
squire, how did you find that outl that's
what | mean" The case was won.

How Prairie Dogs Get Water

1t has always been a subject of curl
oslty and inquiry as to how and where
prairie dogs, living on the prairie fan
away from any river or stream, obtain
their water. Mr.. F. Leech, formerly OF
Mercer county, Pa, and frontiersman
of experience, asserts that the dogs dig
their own wells, each village having one
with a concealed opening. 1t matters
not how tar down the water may be, the
dogs will keep on digging till they reach
1t. He knows of one such well 200 feet
deep, and having a circular staircase
leading down to the water Every time
dog wants to drink he descends the
staircase, which, considering the dis.
lance, is no mean task. In digging for
water the animals display as much
energy as in resisting the efforts of set
tiers to expel them from the land of
their progenitors.
