G.. sent stiff note begging that Mr..
Pottridge would send in his bill, and in
timating that she would henceforth
purchase her groceries at another house.
Now the Chuclleworths had always been
excellent customers of Mr.. Pottridge.
This was bad enough, but worse was
to follow. Next day some inspectors of
weights and measures arrived at the
alderman's shop and found piece of
lard sticking under the scales. They
declared they should make report of
the fact. Scarcely had they gone, leav-
ing the grocer speechless with confusion,
then two well-dressed strangers entered
and bought some tea, brown sugar,
cocoa, pepper and pot OF mustard,
after which they stated that they were
public analysts, who were going to ex-
anime the quality of these goods. They
examined them, in truth, so fast, that two
days later Mr.. Pottridge received a sum
mons to answer charge of putting birch
twlgs in his tea, sand in his sugar, tur-
meric in his mustard, clay in his coaoa,
etc. Mr.. Pottridge shrugged his should
ers, at first taking it for granted that the
charges would be dismissed by his broth
er magistrates, Messers Dott, Bungs and
company, but before the case came on for
hearing, it fortuitiously transpired that
Mr.. Pottridge had been up to London
interviewing Lord Beaconsfeld for the
purpose we know, and this made the 9th
or alderman furious. Mr.. Bungs, the
brewer, was particularly angry, and de-
clared that Mr.. Pottridge was a traitor,
insomuch as the poor grocer, instead Of
having a friendly bench to Judge him,
found very stern one.
II am sorry for you, Mr.. Pottridge,''

ence being that Peter had but 1915 to loan.
Peter states that about O'Clock, as he
was walking on the platform of the St.
Paul, Minneapolis g. Manitoba depot,
man approached him, we'll
dressed and smooth talking,
and asked where he was from. Peter said
from Moorhead. The stranger then asked if
he did not remember him, giving his lame
as Harrison, and on being answered in the
negative stated that he and his brother kept
large store there. Peter not having re-
sided long in the place stock it all ill.," and
when Harrison asked him to loan him some
money to pay the balance on some goods he
had bought, Peter went down to the bottom
of his wallet and let Harrison have all his pile,
amounting to $15, with the remark that he
wished he had some more to lend him on
such security, Harrison having given him
what he said was fifty dollar government
bond, but which turned out to be certifi-
cate of membership in the commercial
agency with large gold seal on it. Harri-
son then started to look after his goods and
Peter is still waiting for his return. The
description of the men tally with that giver

ENGLISH GRAIN.

Continued DiscOuraging Reports of the
Growing Crops-General Activity in the
Grain Trade IN Consequ+ nee of an Adj
vance in Prices-Choice American In
Good Request.
LONDON, July 15.-The Mark Lane Cypress
says: In consequence of the continued rain
ears have scarcely begun to appear The bulk
of the hay remains uncut, or in cases VIII re it
has been cut it has been left lying to rot. In
Scotland crops are fully three weeks behind
hand. The pastures are mostly we'll covered.
Potatoes are looking fairly. On the whole
agricultural prospects there, though far from
promising, are less gloomy than in England.
The grain trade has not been 80 animated
since the spring of 1877. The falling off in
deliveries of English wheat having once started
on an upward movement, buyers responded
with readiness, which proves they are fully
aware of the conditions tending to create a
rise. Fine samples Of home grown wheat are
now becoming SO very scarce that in many in
stances holders refused to accept rise of rs per
quarter, which has been readily obtainable at
Mark Lane and in the country markets, and
now hold for IS to 4s per quarter advance.
There have been extensive imports and trans
actions in foreign wheat during the week, the
imports being principally from American At
lantic ports There has been no lack of specu-
lation. The milling demand assumed large
proportions These conditions caused an i'm
provement of 1s@2s per quarter. The inquiry
has been chiefly for American and Russian de-
scriptions, but any variety of sound wheat has
sold easily. Owing to the scarcity of fine
English, there has been much demand for choice
qualities of foreign to replace it, such Danzig
and New Zealand. These ale held for very full
prices.
The recently published official returns of
stocks of grain in London, July LIST, was, not
withstanding the heavy imports of the last six
months, nearly 1874 900 quarters less than at the
corresponding time last year, showing the large
extent Of purchases made by millers to arrive.
Barley, maize and oats also show considerable
diminution. Flour advanced a shilling per
sack and barrel in sympathy with wheat. All
descriptions of feeding corn favored sellers.
Sales of English wheat last week were q, 772
quarters at Abs I'D per quarter, against ,556
quarters at Az Sd for the correspon ding period
the previous year. The imports into the United
Kingdom for the week ending July 5th were
1852, 259 hundred weight of wheat and l44,9l4
hundred weight of -four. On to-day's and
Mondays market unsettled weather had de-
clded influence chuice lots home grown wheat
met with ready sale at an advance of % per
quarter. The foreign arrivals have been un-
usually heavy, but American realized an adj
vance of Is per quarter. Russian was steady.
Flour in good request at an improvement of
Is per sack, and cd to Sd per barrel. Barley
steady at last Mondays extreme prices. Maize
quieter and shade weaker, in consequence of
very heavy imports.

Lexington was afforded an unusual sensa-
ton this evening. Mrs. s. Goodloe, who was
recently married to Gen. II. P. Ransom, has
two lovely daughters. One of them, Miss
Lilly, is especially comely and of a charming
disposition. For some time past Mr..

he intended to assault the husband of his

cincinnati ENQUIRER.


It is pretty we'll known and recognized
fact that Gen. Ben. Butler has no admiration
for President Hayes. On every occasion
that he has had an opportunity he has taken
pleasure in snubbing the present occupant
of the White House, and these opportunities
have not been infrequent. Butler is good
natter, and an industrious one beside, AID he
has the faculty ofletting the object of his
dislike know his feelings towal him. A
lawyer of this city received the following lot
ter from the Essex statesman day or two
since which gave expression to his feelings
toward the President because of the latter's
appointments. It will be read with inter

6, 1879.-DEAR SIR: You ask mo in your
note if I know of position for one legged
soldier. I answer I do not. Nearly two
years ago asked a position of President
Hayes for crippled soldier in my neighbor-
hood, backed by all his neighbors. Mr..
Hayes refused it, and gave the position to a
man WHO stayed at home during the war, at
the request of Mr.. Hoar, Senator from or
State, who stayed at home, too. Since that
time have asked of Mr.. Hayes nothing.
The law is imperative that he should prefer
in all official appointments the manned vet
Grams of the war, but that law is not obeyed.

failed in the Senate. The people of the

their prominent offices to their crippled and

It seems to be the misfortune of your
get any recognition of his services. am
grieved, therefore, that am not able to do
anything for him. am yours truly,

For the HepOSe OF the SOtSL OF the Dead

OssstratiOns at Lyons.
Paris Special July IS.
At mass celebration at the church of the
Madeleine for the repose of the soul of the
prince imperial, Marshal MacMahon was
present. In spite of the refusal Ct the Wad-
dington cabinet to permit him to attend the
obsequies at Chiselhurst, the ex-president
took this opportunity to express his sorrow
for the loss of child of France, aud his
conduct in so doing has strengthened his
position among the masses. It is the first
time he has appeared in public at any meet
ing which could be construed into political
significance since his resignation of the
presidency. he wore his marshal's uniform,
and was the observed of all as he entered
the grand and beautiful old church. He took
his place not far from the portico, and the
spectators were keenly interested on his arri-
val. 1t Is accepted as the initial step in an
alliance between all the monarchic parties
against the republic; and it is thought to be
formidable, because MacMahon's name is
still potent in the army.
At Lyons the Requiem Mass was cele-
brated at St. Vizier's Church. "Barodet's
Societies. as the Radicals are called there,
assembled before the doors of the church,
and attempted to drown the music from
within by repeated shouts of VSve les Zulus.
A knot of Imperialists replied with counter
cries of " VSve L'Empereur,' and for soma
time street fight seemed imminent.
The partisans of the Napoleonic idea have
increased in both numbers and energy since
the last election, and the demonstration
would have been far moro imposing had
single word been received from Rouher.
His declaration, however, in support of
Prince Jerome has had the effect of blunt
ing whatever enthusiasm might hsve been
expressed for the Imperialist ideas if their
representative had been more popular and
more trusted. Paul de Cassagnac de-
nounces Rouher, and accuses him of timidity.
AS q counter demonstration the population
of Montmartre and La Villette, the most
radical of Frenchmen, will attend in large
numbers the fete to be given tomorrow in
honor of Victor Hugo and Louis Blanc. They
both suffered in the political events of 1857,
and have both grown old in the advocacy of
a Republic. Louis Blanc's influence with
the people is far less than is generally be-
lieved, and the meeting will rather represent
memorial of his services in 1848 than his
influence at the present time. A Radical
Club at Montmartre is said to have engaged
an actress from one of the minor theatres to
personate Goddess of Liberty and crown
Louis Blanc with garland of flowers Vic
tor Hugo will hold reception in the eve
ming, at which portions of his 'L'Armee
Terrible" will be recited. The Government
is taking precautions against any violent
partisan demonstration, and reinforcements
have been ordered to the garrisons at Lyons
and Marseilles

SHOCKING SUICIDE.

EdtcarG Martin, Becoming Tired Of Life
Kills Himselt---He Ihro,rs Himself on
the Track Of the III. g. st. L. Rait,ra1
Manner
A telegraph dispatch from Hopkins sta
ton, on the Minneapolis & St. Louis rail
road, was received by DR.. Nelson early yes
terday morning, requesting his presence al
that place as soon as possible. Not know
ing the exact nature of the business bu
presuming from the wording of the dispatch
that it was something of Importance, he
started of post haste for the point above in
dieated Arriving at Hopkins station the
coroner ascertained that during the night
Edward Martin had suicided by throwing
himself on the Minneapolis u st. Louis rail
road track, aud allowing the train to pass
over his body in such manner that death
was instantaneous, and
THE BODY TERRIBLY MANaLED.
It was evident that he lay upon his back
and when the train struck him, thu wheels
cut and mashed through his head so that the
upper portion of his head was completely
severed from the lower, and was thrown tt
one side of the track, while the body was
upon the other side. The brain and por-
tons of the flesh and clothing were scattered
along the track for some distance, and the
spectacle was anything but pleasant to look
upon.
Edward Martin, was a French Canadian,
70 years of age, and had been an inmate OF
the poorhouse for several years. About
twenty years ago he was out in severe
winter storm and had both feet frozen SO
that it became necessary to have them am
putated. Since then he has relied upon the
charity of the world for support, and during
the past few years of his existence in the
poorhouse he has been low spirited, and
given to fits of dependency.
On Monday morning, while Messrs. Ward
and Wilson, of the board of county comm is
sioners of Hennepin county, were at the
poor-house, Martin made a statement to the
effect that he was tired of living as he did,
AMI that if
HE HAD SOME sTRYCHNYNE
he would soon put an end to his existence.
Nothing serious Was thought of the matter
by those who heard his remarks. During
the afternoon he went away from the house;
for a walk, as was supposed, and in the
morning some section hands discovered the
remains as above stated. The night express
out from Minneapolis probably did the
work without its bong discovered by any
one on the traiu. The body was found
about two miles beyond the station. After
viewing the remains and hearing the abov Q
facts the coroner did not deem it necessar y
to hold an inquest, and burial permit wa
granted.
