The Condition of the Foreign Grain
Market.

LONDON, May 14-The Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review of the British corn
trade for the past week says:
The recent heavy rainfalls and the damp
atmosphere excite some apprehension Tor the
growing cereals, but IL the warm weather con-
tinues no injury will probably result. H1th~r-
to the weather has been exceptionally faVor-
reports from various parts of the country

cereal crop. The pastures are luxur1ant.
and the favorable state OF the crops In connec-
ton with the more pacific political news de-
pressed the grain trade, which remains IN a
state of suspense pending the definite settle
ment of the eastern question. The English
wheat sold slowly both at Mark Yane and In
the provincial markets, and hast weeks prices
were with difficulty maintained even Tor the

The weeks imports OF foreign wheat INTO

America and southern Russia have been the
chief sources of supply. According 10 the
latest advice from Calcutta the quantity OF

wheat, while manifesting little desire TO force

THRILLING ADVENTURE.
A Diver in the Clutches of Devil Fish,

The Wairnambool (Australia) Standard
gives an account of diver being seized by
an octopus or sea devil: The diver engaged
at the Moyne river, Belfast, in removing the
reef. had rather narrow escape from losing
his life on Thursday evening, 7th instant. 1t
appears that Mr.. Smale had fired off a charge
of dynamite and displaced large quantity
of stones at the bottom of the river. He
went down to prepare for lifting these
stones by the aid of chains into the
punt. While engaged in rolling over large
stone be saw something which he supposed
at the time was piece of clean-looklng kelp
moving about in front of where he was work
ing. In few seconds this object came in
contact with the divers arm, about which il
quickly coiled, partly holding him. Imme-
diately MIR. Smale touched what was coiled
round his arm he became aware of his posi-
ton, and tried TO extricate himself from the
grasp of ''sea-devil," but found it far
more difficult job than he anticipated.
Catching hold of the part hanging from the
arm he walked along the bottom of the nver
towards the end OF it. when he saw he was
firmly held by one of the feelers OF large
octopus, better known amongst sailors as the
devil fish" MIR. Smale tried to pull the fish
off from its hold of the rocks, but without
effect for some time. At last the fish, think
ing perhaps it had not got sufficient hold
or power over its prey, loosened itself from
tic StOnSo us
or arms around the divers legs and body.
In this position Mr.. Smale thought the best
thing for him to do was to get up on deck
as soon as possible, and he quickly made
tracks for the ladder which reaches from the
deck of the punt to the bottom of the river.
The diver was certainly curious looking
object when he came up. This huge, ugly
looking thing appeared to be entangled all
over him, holding him in firm embrace.
However, Mr.. Smale's fellow workmen
were not long in freeing him from the
unfriendly hug of his submarine
companion. The body portion of the octo-
pus was only about the size of large soup
plate, with eyes in its head like those of a
sheep, but it possessed nine arms, each about
four feet in length, at the butt as thick as a
mans wrist, tapering off at the end to as
fine point as that of pen knife; thus it
could spread over an area of nine feet in
diameter. All the way along the underneath
part of each feeler are suckers every quarter
of an inch. giving it immense power. Mr..
Smale declares il was powerful enough to
keep three men under water

Failure of the Arrangement Between
the Porte and General TOdIeben.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 14.-Thirty-two bat
talions of Russian reinforcements have ar
rived at San Stefano. The arrangement con-
corning the fortresses has failed in conse-
quence of the ST. Petersburg government
Disappearing General Todelben's projected
retreat to Adrianople. The position of Sadyk
Pasha, president of the Turkish cabinet coun-
ell. is consequently re-established.
News from the Mussulman instruction
states that the disturbances are spreading.
Large numbers of Albanians are participat-
ing. The Greeks in New Bulgaria, who are
also greatly dissatisfied, have just received
new occasion for alarm in the attempt of
the Russian authorities to enroll them under
the general CONSUMPTION now being enforced
throughout Bulgaria.

Just the Truth,

lHnnauelpnla Times.
The truth is that retribution has come
upon the republican party with swiftness
and force that is almost impossible to with
stand, and the sarcasm of destiny is seen
in the fact that the hand that deals
the blow is the hand of him for
whose promotion TO place and power, as the
representative Of the party, great crime
was committed. The consciousness of this
crime ranking in the breast of every repub-
lican- who witnessed the electoral frauds
without protest makes the situation more
critical. As man after man becomes alien
ated from the administration he
falls into line with the opposition and tries
to calm his conscience by condemning
fraud even louder than the regulation
democrats. The yell of fraud is becoming
so general that it browns all other party cries
and political watchwords.

A Southern View Of the Futrre.

From Govern or Colquitts Speech at the Con-
federate Monument Dedication in Macon,
Georgia.
The day is fast approaching when men
who once faced us with muskets in their
hands will clasp us fraternally and admit
that our hearts were right, and if we erred
it was because we loved the rights of the
state too sensitively and too well. From
this point of departure let us take up the
great and good work With that sincerity
and earnestness OF soul which has ever
marked our history in the midst of stirring
public interests let us prosecute the task of
complete restoration OF peace. We will
honor our dead; we will gather annually
around their graves with tribute of tears
and flowers; we will cherish their memory
and defend their names against the assaults
of false accusers; we will raise monuments
to transmit their fame to ages to come. This
will we do in love for them and Cor the cause
which persisted with them.
But we owe q debt to the living. The flu
ture as well as the past demands our concern.
This is our country-here are the graves of
our fathers-here will we be buried-here
are our homes-here are our children. Let
US seek to make tho country land of peace;
to make our homes peaceful and permanent,
and our children happy, buoyant and hope
full. There should be no further strife be-
tween the sections. / will not believe thata
people so committed to each other by the
terms of great compact; so bound to each
other by moral and religious ties, will ever
consent TO see part of this grand sisterhood
of states only tolerated in its freedom or
bowed down in the shame and humiliation
of abject bondage. Let men who desire this
have a care. Let the cruel and arrogant
giant think momen. how long life can be
endured if he is chained indissolubly 10 a
dead carcass.
My friends if you should prove unfaithful
to the duty you owe to our common coun-
try in defending and perpetusting the rights
of freemen, then of all men you will be the
most culpable and the most miserable. The
men whose memories We cherish by the
noble monument you this day begin to
erect, laid down their lives, as they firmly
believed, in defense of that Interpretation
of freedom under the constitution which
was a tradition with us. All they hoped TO
accomplish by war was the preservation of
such rights as the constitution guaranteed.
We this day and for all time will honor
them most by unfolding in all its strength
and purity such a government as that con-
stitution has established. II they could
speak from their serene heights, they would
bid US to forget and forgive, and with sur
viying comrades and surviving foes they
would plead for peace, justice and fraternity.

Cincinnati Musical Festival.

CINcISNATI, May 16.-Although drilling
rain fell all the afternoon and early in the
evening. there was no abatement in the
fervor of the people, and another packed
audience greeted the performers. The pro-
gramme consisted of but four numbers, and
the selections were evenly divided between
Wagner and Beethoven. the former leading
with a chorus from "Die Meistersinger''-

masters work The second number-Bee
thovens overture, "Coriolanus"-was even
shorter, and illustrated in a marked
degree the wonderful precision OF
the mammoth orchestra. The third and
closing number of the first part consisted of
selections from "Gotterdammering," "Sieg
fried's Death" and the finale. In this the
vocal part was given by Madame Pappen-
helm. The portion chosen for Interpretation
this evening commences with the funeral
music by the companions of Siegfried, after
the death of that parsonage by the sword of
Hagar. and includes the death of Brun-
hide 1t was fine illustration
OF Wagnerian melody, and the
execution of Madame Pappenheim
brought applause and congratulations even
from Mr.. Thomas, and the braves of the au-
dience drew her reluctantly before them
three times. The closing portion of the
evenings entertainment was confined to
Beethoven and his ninth symphony, closing
with the Hymn OF joy by the quartette,
Madame Pappenheim, Miss Cary, Mr. Adams
and Mr. Rommertz. This was also gwen at
the second festival, and the chorus renewed
the laurels won three years ago. The matinee
and concert tomorrow will close the festival.

ArERRrBLE SCENE.
A warning to the Devotees of Tigh
skirts.

A Londcn letter says: A dinner party was
about to be held at very grand house in
London; the guests had arrived a gorgeous
turnkey had announced that all was ready,
and the guests, pairing off in the usual fash
ion, so suggestive of the loving couples in
the valentines adjoining our shop windows
were in the act of descending the stair
case toward the dining room Below
in the hall stood any number OF magnificent
men servants, walters and solemn retainers
generally. And now, leaving the guests
upon the stairs for half minute must
diverge just TO inform you, in case, as
member of the sterner and less made up
sex, you should not be aware of the fact,
that the present attenuated style of
female figure from the hips downward
is caused by what a fine writer in
a late millinery and dry goods advertisement,
called perfect revolution in the style of
ladies' underclothing" Which revolution,
being interpreted, means that the multi
dinous unmentionable garments which used
in days OF yore to make up that portion of a
woman's dress which is not dis
played outside for rude masculine
public to gaze at are by the present
devotees of fashion entirely discarded, and
that underneath lady's dress nowadays is
hardly anything to be found save'a tight fit
ting suit OF brown, composed of soft and
yielding leather in the winter and of heaven
knows what IN the summer. Only by wearing
this perfectly revolutionary style can the
closely clinging fit of the skirts, so dear TO the
fair sex of to day, be produced. To return
to the dinner guests upon the staircase. The
lady on the arm of the first gentleman of
the procession was gliding down in all her
glory, her train trailing after her several
yards along the stairs, when suddenly
the gentleman next behind her, in
the dreadful clumsy manner of
his misguided sex, tread upon her dress
Can you not fancy the look with which,
across her shoulder, she withered that un-
happy wretch? Horror There was ali in the
space of a second, a dreadful crack, a
fearful sound of rending, and the entire
skirt in sight of all the company
behind its wearer, and of the hunkies in
the hall below, fell TO her feet. Shall pur-
sue the awful story, or will you fancy for
yourself the picture? The deliberately ar
ranged hair, the white neck ringed round
with gittering iewelry, the fashionably
trimmed dress body. and then-no, really,
it is quite too awkward.
