Simpsons Experience,

When l met Simpson one day after
had been absent from the city for sew
eral months noticed that he had de-
pressed look and that he wore a wig.
l asked him the reason for assuming
the wig, bit he said, "Never you
nindl" aid appeared to want to avoid
the subject. When l reached my Of
flee l asked hsm III, and pressed him
to tell me what was the matter. Final
ly, he consented, and locking the door
and pulling down the window blind,
he said:
"You know old Partridge the phre-
nologist?''
"Yes.'
,"You know he has an awful pretty
daughter, Sally?"
"Yes.n
'fWell, sir, was in love with that
girl, and thought she loved me. And
so, one day, called at Partridge's
place to kind Of sound him to see If
stood any chance. And the old man,
you know, he was little reserved, but
he told me that any man who wanted
to got favor from him could do so by
permitting him to shave off his hair
aud map out his scalp. Said, you know
that he wanted a living subject to lee
ture from instead of a plaster bust"
"You refused, of course?"
"Well, you see, was wild about his
daughter, 50 like an immortal idiot
let him practice on me. He took off
every hair clean, and then got O. stick Of
caustic and laid out my scalp In town
lots, with picture In each reservation.
Just look ut that Isn't that infa-
mous?"
Simpson removed his wig. His head
looked like a globular checker board,
with frescoes of the most amazing and
hideous characters daubed into each
square. There was prize fight in
progress upon his bump of combatiyc-
ness; two black doves that looked like
bnzzards were billing upon his bump
of amativeness; a grimy angel with
parasols for wings, stood on his vener-
alton bump; and on his bump Of philo-
prOgenittveness there was what ap-
pcared to be q comic picture Of "ten
little Indians standing I'm line" 1t
was the most startling spectacle ever
beheld, and l said to Simpson
"Old fellow, pity you!"
"Pity me! lIumphl Why blame 1t
man, do you know that those ircscoes
will never come Off? Carry them to
my grave, just ms they are. And then
you know, Partridge wasn't satiehed
with that. He said that my bumr of
acqulsitiveness was great deal too
small. And when ! asked him what
he was going to do about it, he said it
must be swelled up somehow. lie said
If he ever had son-in-law 1t
must be q man whose amativeness was
strong. SO that fetched me and told
him to 60 ahead. He first proposed
saving out a square inch of my skull
and setting In bump that would about
meet his views ;,but / was a little shy,
you know, and 80 he said he could
either CUP me like the man In Mar
ryat's novel or else work me up some
sort Of a hydraulic pressure, or suction
or something." is

And bic day and the night are the same at

And what is 1t all when all Is done.

Sliding into and out Of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas.

KILLED BY THE CARS.
Death of a Distinguished Per

NEw YORK, July l6.-AnthOny Ia
briskae, a millionaire, living at Central
Morrisiana, and a member ofa very an
cient and historical family, was Instant
ly killed this morning at Central Morris
lana by the New Haven express train.
Mr.. Zabriskae had Just left the grounds
surrounding his house, which is in the
rear of the ear repair shops, accompanied
bv his sister, Nrs. MARITIME Green. They
intended TO take the train for the city,
which leaves the Central MorriSiana de-
pot at $40. AS he approached the
track he saw train coming from the
north, and supposed that it was the one
ne intended to take and that
il would stop at the depot, which was
about 100 yards distant from him. Tie
therefore fastened across the track but
the train, which proved to be the New
Haven express, did not stop but rushed
down upon him at the rate OF forty miles
an hour, and the cow-catcher striking
him threw him distance of POO feet on
a side track, where he struck on his
head, irightiully mangled. Iabrlskae' :
property is estimated at ten millions.
His sister is SO shocked that her condi-
ton is considered preCariOus.

THERE is little or nothing doing in
wool buying in this neighborhOOd, and
reports from adjoining towns indicate a
quiet market everywhere. The unusual
activity OF the early part Jt the season is
past for time. The wool is petty gen
erallv sold throughout the country and
buyers are not very anxious to purchase
further until they unload a portion of
the supply already contracted for. In
the meantime the delivery OF wool goes
hriSklv on and thousands OF pounds
have been brought to town and shipped
to eastern markets during the past week.

WOOL.
The Wool Market at steubenville.

Tne WOOL Market AT oteupenFllie'
From the Growers Bulletin.
The quotations seem to be little
easier in the East, as they drop of from
the old To the new wool, and the mar
ket is reported very quiet. Dealers and
manufacturers both maintain an air of
Indifference. Quotations are given as
follows: y and Xxx, 3S to 45c; medium,
40 to 42c; coarse, - to BIC. The delaine
and combing ont ol these are quoted at
from 40 to 45c. Medium wool is re-
ported to be easing off a little in price.
The country, seemingly, never was
quieter. There is literally no buying
from farmers hands that we hear OF, ex-
cept a clip now and then changes hands
from local causes. Under these circum-
stances the prices are expected to be r
little easier, if the market again opens.
Since our last issue two weeks ago, We
have heard Of a few sales at the old
prices, 35 to 3Sc, with some clips that
were claimed to be off in condition, at
little lower prices One correspondent
expresses it in this way: Buyers ex-
pect to buy a little lower soon. | think
farmers will not accept less than 3jc for
awhile, as the most OF those who needed
money have sold"
Our sales here have been about as fast

evening Peck overheard three negro
men using the young lady's name ight-

Peck escaped them and was soon pined
by citizens and railroad men 10 thenum-

This party, commanded by G. May
hu sh, an engineer of the CheSapeake x

About dark on Saturday night a band
OF negroes, one hundred or more strong,

commanded by Captain Dick IN loud
tones. They cursed, bellOwedaId made
