Trade has been necessarily of holiday
character both at Mark Lane and country
markets, but there has been little or no al
formation in prices. The imports of foreign
wheat into London were but moderate. The
only noticeable features in return have been
the cessation of arrivals from Russia and in
crease of those from East India. quiet but

descriptions at last Mondays prices, but there
has been very little done in barley, oats and

Russian ladies smoke cigarettes and do it
in way that is not unpleasant even to for:
eigners who are not accustomed to woman's
use of the weed; one correspondent writes
that they smoke at railway stations, on
steamboats, and at hotels. dozens of ci garettes
day sometimes, scratching the necessary
matches on pillar or post, lust like man.
Sometimes light goes out and they try
again-Tas why shouldn't they? If they
have no matches or wish to save themselves
the trouble of lighting one they ask the first
gentleman smoking they meet to favor them
with light! Leaning forward to the cigar,
pipe OF cigarette which he extends, they ig-
mite their little roll, bow silently and pass
on. Sometimes gentleman asks lady to
extend to him the same favor. Well, in
Russia it may be all well enough to do as
Russians do; but we trust that in America
the male SEX will enjoy and insist upon thei.
monopoly in the use of tobacco.

AN UNPARALLELED CRIME.

The Assizes of Nuremberg, Germany, has
had before it one of those cases which make
certain people despair of the human race
George Ulherr, the prisoner, is day-laborer
~ years of age, and strongly built man e
medium statue. He was married nine years
ago and had three children. He gave his
testimony in the most collected and indifer-
ent manner. On August 26th of this year,
he committed an indecent assault upon his
daughter, aged only years and 6 months.
On September 9Th he again attempted o sec
ond crime, but was prevented by his wife.
Next day, however, he took the child with
him to wood, and there committed on it
the most dreadful acts, at the same
time making several incisions in
the body. The intestines of the poor child
literally protruded from the body. 1t
pleaded for mercy, but the monster left it
lying on the ground and coolly walked away.
On the following day he returned to the
wood and found the creature still living. It
begged for help. The man took knife and
gave the child two wounds in the neck. Ac
cording to his own testimony be wanted
now to hang the child, but his courage III,

the child was received the answer that sd
was sick and in the wood, where, on ID
father crying out 'Rlekchen'' the child an
swered in feeble voice. Ulherr then tool
the child in his arms; twas all covered witt
blood; insects were creeping over its facet
and the terrible wounds alluded to were|
apparent. The little victim at first stated
that strange man had committed th4
crime, but afterwards acknowledged that i
was its father. The little girl died next
night in the most terrible pain. The MOTH
er refused to give any testimony, but weps
during the whole evidence. Neighbor
swore to his indifference when questioned bq
the mother as to the child's absence, i
was also proved that the man was addic1e
to drink, averse to work, and was suopoN

was perfectly sane, and that although hel =

other indictment. His wife was not in the
least affected On hearing the verdict.

CATHOLIC FINANCES.

Cincinnati Special to Chicago Tribune1
A report gained currency here to-day that
the venerable Archbishop Purcell has written
to the Pope asking to be relieved from all
active church duties, and that this action was
the result of the troubled condition of the
financial affairs of the Catholic church in
Cincinnati. Investigation proves that the
archbishop has asked from Rome for the ap.
pointment of a bishop, with cardinate DOW
ers to share with him the labors and respon-
sibilities Of his high Office. Should the re-
quest be granted, the archbishop will retain
his present titles and authority, but will be
relieved from the burden of managing the
financial interests of the church, which have
grown into large proportions. Archbishop
Purcell is 70 years old, and began his labors
in Cincinnati when there was but one Cath
Ole church in the city. In regard
to the reports of the financial
troubles, which have been freely cir
culated of late, Bishop Purcell, brother of
the archbishop, this morning made
the following statement: There has been a
run Tor several days by depositors which the
church managers have been somewhat en-
barrassed to meet. There have also been
some losses of $60,00O-by the Slevin
failure, but the church has a large and
''AeHoOAo FAOF0ACy3 WAACA IL ample security
for her liabilities. A financial failure would
be impossible, and depositors are gradually
coming to understan this, and are quoting
their fears. 1t may be stated in explanation
that the authorities of the church have for
many years received from the Catholic peo-
pie their savings, giving notes bearing inter
est in return. This money has been reloan-
ed to the Catholic church and schools, hos
pltsis, and individuals, at a higher rate of
interest. Thus an ecclesiastical savings
bank of very large proportion has grown up.
The same causes that have affected other
savings banks have effected this system, and
serious embarrassment is the result. Within
the past few weeks five or six of the most
valuable pieces of Catholic property have
been mortgaged for heavy sums and the
proceeds paid over to the anxious depositors.
There is no doubt whatever that the people
who have committed their earnings to the
care of the church will receive every cent
back, but the present situation is none the
less embarrassing to all parties.

A tramp going by the name of Frank
Watson, who was mangled by railroad
train in Kentucky, proved to be woman
in mans clothes. The frequency of such
cases indicates that it is common thing
for women to pass for men, the usual OBJ
ject being to get work more readily and
at higher wages. 1t is said that robust
women often work in the Pennsylvania
coal mines in male attire, but without
taking the trouble to pretend they are
men.

Washington Territory has adopted a
constitution for the proposed State of
Washington. The name is good, but the
population-not over IS ,000-is too small
for State. Washington has fertile
soil, a genial climate, and all the requis.
ties for flourishing commonwealth, ex-.
cept enough men and women. especially
women. It would not do to admit to
equal representation in the United States
Senate with New York State which has

they happen to be in the yard playing
when the sun sets, their play things are in
stantly laid aside, and efforts made to
reach the house, when they soon efter re-
tire and sleep soundly until sunrise, after
which their sight is describ- ID as being
restored, and, to all appearance, perfectly
unimpaired. The youngest is three and
the eldest ten years old-two boys and
one girl, all of light complexion. Their
eyes are light blue, and there is nothing
about them that appears at all strange.
