The Mark Lane EgpresS, in review OF
the British corn trade the past week, says:
Field work has progressed satisfactorily, and
except in the latest districts the remainder OF
the crops have been gathered, and something
has been done towards winter sowing. The
conditions of the later cereals is deplorable,
and the loss thereon heavy. Very little wheat
is yet ready to thresh. Roots fall far short
of an average crop Supplies of English
wheat at country markets are slightly
larger, aid in some instances samples were in
| rather better condition, but as a rule the quail
| ity indicates desire on the part of farmers to
market their inferior produce, which is cleared
more easily and proftably during exciting
times Finer qualities, where they exist, can
be safely counted upon to realize their fnll
market value whenever growers see fit to part
with them Foreign wheat continues to reach
our shores in considerable quantities. Fridays
list ofimports show the arrival of nearly 10000
quarters and with disposition on the part of
holders to realize the rapid upward movement
of prices appears to have been arrested. The
question arises: What proportion OF the fif-
| teen shillings rise which has taken place can
be maintained when the speculative movement
ceases and the more legitimate influences of
supply and demand are once more paramount
in trade Taking into consideration the enor-
nous resources of America and the fact that
present prices of wheat at London are suffi-
cient to attract, and have attracted, supplies
from all the wheat exporting countries in the
world, it appears most probable that a
safe basis for future operations will
be reached when values have receded
five and six shillings from the recent
highest point. it would be too much to as
sert that prices must necessarily give way to
this extent. as trade closes in a very sensitive
coalition, and much will depend on the ac-
ton of America. But the opinion is never
theless offered that the reduction indicated
would bring values to a safe position. Sales
of English wheat the last week were 35,617
quarters at 49s Cd, against 6O,4s4 quarters, at
39s the corresponding week last year. I'm

Gossip About Senator's.

One of the pages in the United States
Senate gave in crisp style his opinion
OF some of the members of that body,
who are courteously alluded to as
statesmen. Of Senator Thurman he
said, "He isa good man. He whirls a
big bandana and blows his nose on
schedule. He is the snuff Senator.
There is only one thing he likes better
than Ramsey's jokes, and that is casino.
Senator Bayard is very fine gentle
man, and is good to the pages. His
weakness is good goers on the road. He
is like Grant and Bonner. Everybody
likes Blaine. He is just what you would
suppose him to be from the reports of
the newspapers. Hoar is good -natured,
but somehow the boys don't hang to
him. Jones is brick. l made $50 on
one OF his speeches. Always got mon
ey, and trusts the boys with his errands;
have known RACES to have $4,000 of his
money at one time. Ransom, of North
Carolina, is as good as the best. Cor
don and Lamar are pleasant, and Ben
Hill is not bad man. Wade Hampton
is fine fellow. The pages get $75
month. The boy that gets the Presi-
dents room is rewarded with $1,4OO
year. The perquisites for the pages are
considerable. A good one has no
trouble in making 800 month. A
complete book of the autographs of
Congressman and heads of departments
brings $50. A page made $500 out of
what was known as the deadlock pict-
Urea humorous sketch. While the
Electoral Commission was in session
the boys had a good opportunity to
make something. They speculated on
the extra tickets the congressman
shelled out. I knew boy who made
$50 off the bier of Charles Sumner. He
sold the flowers for $40. Wormley paid
him $40 for one bouquet. When the
casket was removed, he watched his op-
portunity, and cut the fringe from the
bier. He sold it to the colored people
for $50, dealing it out in pieces. We
pick up good many relics. I have the
inkstand President Grant used in per-
forming his last official act" And this
is the way these pious little pages turn
an honest penny.

TALKING WITH THE VIRGIN.
The ImapOsts1re of q French Peasant Cir

The InapOstecTe of q French Peasant Girl
Galignanis Messenger
A curious trial for imposture has Just
taken place before the tribunal of correction
al police at Annecy The defendant, JAG
queline Bosse, aged Is, was a young farm
servant of Saint Jorioz, and appeared at the
bar wearing the picturesque costume Of the
peasant girls of that part of Savoy. The
charge brought against her was that of
fraudulent practices to induce belief that
she was in direct communication with the
Virgin. One day in August last, the girl, on
returning home from minding sheep, in
formed her master that while with her flock
a strange man had come out of wood and
given her to dl.nk glass of liquor, which
looked like white wine; he then pointed out
to her light in tree, telling her that it was
an apparition of the Virgin. At the sight of
the vision she became terror stricken, she re-
lated, and ran to neighboring farm. The
same man and same vision appeared to her
on following days, and the stranger on one
occasion told her that the Virgin wished her
to have chapel built on the spot where she
had appeared. The farmer at whose
house the girl had taken refuge had the
curiosity to climb into the tree, where he
found two empty backing boxes, in which
were the remains of wicks and little oil,
showing how the light had been produced.
The girl, nevertheless, continued to pretend
that the Virgin appeared to her, dressed in
white with blue scarf, and even conversed
with her. News of this miracle got abroad,
and great numbers of persons accompanied
her to see the vision; many believed in it,
and offered up prayers and sang
hymns. They were never, however,
favored with sight of the Virgin, although
they heard the replies given by her to Jac-
queline. Even miracles were said to have
been performed by the girl. The excite
ment became SO great that on the 29ttr of
August about fifteen hundred persons were
present, waiting for the apparition. The po-
lice then interfered and arrested the girl,
who, on being closely pressed, confessed
that it was an imposture she had carried
on in order that she might be received in q
convent and. treated as sanity person. She
had the gift of ventriloquism, and had thus
been able to carry on the pretended CONVEX
sations; she persisted, however, in her ac-
count of the strange man in the wood. The
girl was acquitted of the charge, and was or
dered to be kept in a reformatory until her
tEentieth year was accomplished.

A colored man known as Uncle Squills
was yesterday circulating around the

and remarked:
"Uncle Squills, had always supposed
you to be an honest man,

I'm afraid not. Here you are selling
op-corn under false pretences. You
