a week or two will entirely prevent the feel

proof that the powder is dangerous, and its
use should be avoided, as it will ultimately

A Tough Customer

Persimmon Bill is known on the
plains as one of the daring outlaws of
the age. His real name is VIM. T.
Chambers. He is about 35 years of age,
weighs about 40 pounds, has dark brown
hair, bright blue eyes and projecting
eyebrows. He was born in the noun
tains of North Carolina. Having served
throughout the war, first under one flag
and then the other, he turned up at
Cheyenne in 1867. Highway robberies
were traced to him, but not until 1870
did he add murder to his crimes. There
after followed half dozen assassinations
and desperate acts, and soon Persimmon
Bill was in the Sioux City Jail. He es-
capped from Jail, went to the nearest sa-
loon, and, with the handouts yet cling
ing to his wrist, ordered drinks. The
sheriff soon put III an appearance. Bill
smiled at the sheriff, and explained that
he only wanted a little fun and would
60 back if the cursed bracelets didn't
hurt So" The sheriff, pleased at the
easy capture, unlocked the irons No
sooner did the outlaw feel the wrist
bands off than he struck the sheriff
death-blow, leaped through a window,
mounted horse and escaped. He has
been at large since that time, though a
80, 600 reward is offered for him,

A Child of Fortune.

The death is announced of Lord
Bloomfield, formerly for 20 years ambas-
sador at Berlin and Vienna. Dying with
out issue, his title is extinct. He repre-
sented almost the last instance Of what
was so common in England up to the
last century, a man originally winning
fame and fortune purely by court favor.
George ~. was devoted to music, and
no mean performer on the violin. One
day at Brighton the gentleman who was
to have made the fourth in theeveniDg's
quartet was prevented by some very
serious cause from attending. The king
was expressing his vexation at this con-
trefemps in strong terms, when a gen.
tleman present suggested that he had
lately heard q young Irish officer then in
barracks at Brighton perform charmingly
and that possibly he might take the place
of the defaulter. The king was delight
ed at the idea and instantly sent to
secure him. Lieut.. Bloomfield came,
played, and conquered. The king took
violent and very enduring fancy for
him, soon appointed him to valusble
post in the household, and Bloomfield,
ultimately raised to an Irish peerage,
remained his most confidential compan-
ion to his death. The son, just deceased,
was appointed page of honor, then had
a free commission in the guards, and ul
timately entered the diplomatic service,
and in 1858 was raised to the English
peerape

Boston Wool Market.

Our detailed report of sales shows fair
business, and there has been good healthy
trade, with a hardening tendency on fine
fleece and medium and No. 1 woods. The
advance in metals, hides, leather and many
raw materials should lead to an anticipation
of higher prices for wool, especially as man.
ufacturers are doing better to-day than at
any previous time in the past seven years.
The public sales in London are doing as
well as was anticipated, and it is only now
and then small lot can be bought at price
low enough to compete with domestic wool.
There is stronger market for fine fleece,
and prices are fully nc p ID dearer than
last week, while holders are stronger at the
advance than they were at the rates current
a week ago. There have been sales of choice
Xxx and above at sec, and choice X has sold
at 3S@39c, and the market for good condi-
toned lots of Ohio and Pennsylvania is firm
at So nc. No. fleece has been IN brisk re-
quest and sells at 40@42c. There is no
change in the price of Michigan and Wis
consin x, and the sales have been small.
No l has been taken at 3S@39c, and there
are tbuyers for this grade at full prices.
Combing and delaines show no improve.
ment in price, but there hiss been considera-
bic more doing, and the sales are very fair.
California fleece has ruled quiet and the
sales have been limited to a few small lots.
There has also been very little done in
Georgia, Missouri and Kentucky woods, as
there is a light stock here. Territory and
Oregon woods have ruled steady, but good
lots of medium are held firmly. There has
not been much done in fine Texas and the
inquiry is light. Pulled woods are eagerly
sought for and full prices obtained. Supers
are sold up closely, and everything is sold
almost as soon as it touches the floor of the

Cochrane and Goldsmith Maid.

We have heard a great deal from east
ern travellers of the wonderful attach.
ment which exists between the horse and
his master in Oriental lands, but we
doubt if ever anything more interesting
has been told than the following story
of Goldsmith Maid: Recently, Charles
Cochrane, who was for many years her
faithful groom, arrived from California,
and wishing to see the grand old trotting
mare and her colt, called on Mr.. Smith,
her owner, to obtain his permission to
visit Fashion Stud Farm in New Jersey.
Mr.. Smith accompanied Cochrane to the
farm, and on arriving there remarked ::
"Charley, the Maid is very Jealous of
her colt, is very cross, and will permit
no one to approach it," Cochrane
arranged that Goldsmith Maid should
hear his voice before she saw him, and,
although they had not seen each other
for two years, loud whinny presently
assured the visitors that the mare had
recognized the mans voice. Cochrane
next showed himself, when a touching
scene occurred. The old queen of the
turf, who for months would not allow
any one to approach her, making use of
both heels and teeth if it was attempted
rushed with bound to her cid friend
forgetting even her colt, and rubbed her
head upon his shoulder, her nose in his
face, played with his whiskers, and
showed by her every action that her
heart was full of JOY to see him. Di-
rectly the colt came up to them, and the
old mare was delighted when Charley
placed his hand on the little fellow.
When Cochrane left the place the mare
followed him to the gate, whinnying for
him even after he had passed out of her
sight-NeW York Times.
