The markets show no change either
as regards ruling prices or condition
since our last report. The wool market
shows a somewhat improved activity at
the old prices. Wheat is offering in
quantities exceeding the demand, and
unless there is rise in prices at the sea
board markets it will fall soon. Fruits
are abundant, and in good demand.

day from that place, and informs US
that the mill is working steadily
and upon richer ore than at any
period since it started, over a year
ago. The mine is looking we'll,
the vein widening as they 60 down
into the bowels Of the earth. Pie
yield of bullion this month will
-aMsunt to fully $4,000 and should
the ore continue to improve in the
mine for the next thirty days as it
has in the past, the next months
yield will far surpass anything
heretofor realized by the company.
We can see no reason why the Tip
top should not at once become q
dividend payer every thirty days
and Its stock run up to So or $40 per
share. 1t is now being properly
handled, and we believe the ques-
tion as to its permanency is no
longer doubted, therefore q change
in its value may reasonably be ex-
pected.--Pescot (Arisona) Miner.

A Dog Killed by a Mouse.
Berlin Zeitung.l

Berlin Zeitung.1
A gentleman writing to this Jour-
nal relates the following curious
occurrences: 81 was alone with my
laborsrs in a field where potatoes
were being harvested. My watch
dog was along with me. I saw him
seize q mouse, swallow it and then
lie down at my feet. / went home
to dinner, and while seated at the
table was asked what was the mat
ter with the dog. He was turning
round and moaning, and something
was hanging from his side. I took
him up In my arms and found it
was a mouse which had just been
killed. At first / thought it had
stuck in the long hair, but on ex.
amining closer saw that only one-
half Of the mouse protruded from
the dogs body. When the aperture
was cleared 1t was found to be an
inch in depth. The dog had no
front teeth, had swallowed the
mouse and the little animal had at
once begun to gnaw its way out.
It was at first stopped by one Of the
ribs, and had actually burrowed out
between the skin and rib. The dog
killed the mouse when it put its
head out by munching it with bis
jaws The dog died the next day.

A Dangerous Torpor.

Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys Is
seriously dangerous to those organs,
since 1t is the precedent Of diseases
which destroy their substance and en-
danger life. This slugglshness may be
overcome by stimulating them, not ex-
duced by Hostetter's Bitters, q general
invigorant and alternative, possessing d.
uretic properties OF no common order.
The impetus which this admirable medi.
cine gives to their evacuative functions
which may exist in their tissues. Both
they and their associate organ, tho blad-
der, are invigorated as well as gently
stimulated by the Bitters, which exert a
kindred influence upon the stomach
liver and bowels, and by strength ening
the system enables 1t to Withstand ma
larial epidemics, to which when exposed
IL might otherwise succumb.

nor aids about him. Upon
Colonel Babcock's rapping at his
door, the response, "Come in" was
given by himself, In tone of voice
and with q cadence which I can
never forget.
His conversation was easy and
nuent, without the least effort or
restraint. In this, nothing was so
closely noticed by me as the point
and terseness with which he ex-
pressed whatever he said. He did
not seem either to court or avoid
conversations; but whenever he did
speak, what he said was directly to
the point, and covered the whole
matter in q few words. I saw be-
fore being with him long that he
was exceedingly quick In percsp-
tion and direct in purpose, with a
vast deal more of brains than
tongue, as ready as that was at his
command.
We were here with Gen. Grant

referred to shows. He furnished
Us with comfortable quarters on

extraordinary combination of rare
elements of character which he ex-
hibited. During the time he met
US frequently and conversed freely
upon various subjects, not much
upon our mission. 1 saw, however,
very clearly, that he was very
anxious tor the proposed confer.
ence to take place, and from all
that was said l inferred-whether
correctly or not I do not know
that he was fully apprised OF its
proposed object. He vas, without
doubt, exceedingly anxious for 8
termination of our war and the re-
turn ofpeace and harmony through
out the country. 1t was through

beginning with our going to anC
ending with our return from
Hampton Roads, was the convic'
ton that, taken all in all, he was
one Of the most remarkable men
had ever met with, and that hi:
career in life, II his days should bt
prolonged, was hardly entered up
on; that his character was not ye
fully developed; that he himsel
was not aware of his own power
and that If he lived he would In
the future exert controlling inf1u
enos in shaping the destinies o
this eeustry, either for good O
for evil. Which it would be, tim,
and circumstances alone could dis
