Milwaukee, July LIST. 1879
DEAR SIRs: The foreign markets
are higher to-day and the weather in
England is wet and cold, and there
seems to be no question bat what
foreign crops are very far from being
satisfactory, and the present outlook
is certainly very encouraging to us
here at the Northwest so far as the
probability of good foreign demand
ct remuneration prices are concerned.
We gather, too, from the present out
look, that the quality and quantity of
the new winter wheat crop of the
United States will not be equal to
that of last year, and we have no
doubt but the coming crop of spring
wheat will net higher prices than the
last crop, provided i. is harvested in
good condition and the quality is
good. 1t is the same with wheat as
oEauy other commodity, the better
the. article the better the price, and
crop of poor wheat always brings
lower prices. The clique are buying
cash No. 2 wheat at about 1t cts.
per bushel above the price OF July
wheat, which would seem to favor
the idea that they were going to run
the deal through July. Cash No. Q
closes 90 and July sss. The clique
are paying % for all July they can
get. August 93i, and the general
tone of the market is strong. The
lower grades are higher than yester-
day and receipts much smaller.

EVERY member of the fire compa.
MES in Rockford, Illinois appears to
belong to the saloons. A building
took fire there week ago and the
fire alarm failed to bring a single
fireman to the rescue. They were
pouting because the Council de.
clined to appoint a certain saloon
keeper as their chief, and they
proved conclusively the wisdom OF
the council in it's determination. The
citizens turned out and saved the
building. Rockford should organize

The coin was mine. l slept with tina
coin under my piilow-that is, tried to
sleep, but so exceed was that never
closed my eyes that night.
The numismatist took the earliest con-
veyance across the English Channel.
This medal was not for common collec-
tions. 1t was piece for the French Alu-
scum. The Emperor Louis Napoleon
heard of it, as did the minister of in
struction. NJ. Feuardent considered an
offer of 30, 900 francs for the medal as an
imperative command that the coin
should remain in France. So stay it
did, and though $4,000 francs, lust
double what it cost, were offered for it.
This coin of the Bactrian Eucratides is
now the greatly priced ornament of the
Cabinet des Mcdailles. To-day it lies in
a glass case all BY, y,isself. There is lit
tie handle comiha aoSSs6f the box which
permits the public to turn the coin so
that both sides of it can be seen.
"This," said the expert to the writer,
" is the rarest coin IN the world. and the
one for which the highest price has been
paid. Since it cost the lives of five men,
l do not think anything more was really
paid for it than it was worth. 1t ought
to have been saved for the delectation of
numismatic amateurs in all times to
come, even had fifty or one hundred lives
been sacrificed

In connection sFith the question OF

circumstance put on record by DR.. Mar
aschetti, an Italian surgeon at Moscow.
While travelling in the Ukraine, in
1913, there were introduced to his notice
fifteen persons who had just been bitten
by dog that was undoubtedly rabid.
AS the doctor was preparing his reme-
dies he was waited on by a deputation
of respectable persons, who requested
that peasant of the neighborhood,
whose skill in curing hydrophobia was
in high repute, might be permitted to
undertake the care of the patients.
Maraschetti consented, on condition
that he should be allowed to be present
and personally supervise the measures
adopted by the countryman. The latter
gave fourteen of the patients decoction
of broom flowers to drink, and twice a
day he carefully examined the inferior
surface of their tongues, to see, as he ex-
pressed it, whether any buttons con-
tanning the poison had formed" Where
these appeared they were at once opened
and cauterized with red-hot iron. The
whole of these fourteen patients recov-
cred, and Maraschetti saw them three
years afterward in perfect health.
The fifteenth patient, who was put un-
der ordinary treatment, developed hy-
drophobia at the end of the seventh day,
and died.

Paying Railroad Employees.

On the New York division of the
Pennsylvania railroad a monthly "pay
train" consisting of locomotive and
one car, leaves the Jersey City depot and
pays the employees along the line, tax
ing twenty-four hours to make theround
trip. The pay gar is an ordinary pas
senger coach stripped of its seats and
supplied with wire partition at one
end, behind which is the paymaster's
desk. The rest of the car is saloon,
fitted with tables and chairs. The rear
door opening into this saloon is fastened
with a lock that would bother band
robber. On the desk are three great
books, whose pages are the division pay
rolls for the three branches of the SER
vice under which the employees are
classified. These are the "transporta-
ton men," the motive power men,"
and the maintenance of way men,"
The transportation men are the conduc-
tors, baggagemen, brakemen, station
agents, ticket statesmen, etc. They num-
Der about 1900. The motive power men
are the engineers, firemen, machinists,
carpenters, and all those who work in
the shops and round houses. They num-
Der 1900. The maintenance of way men
are known tQ.-fLe public as tracklnen.
Inere are Thousand oil u1ese. Inere-
fore the paymaster divides the pleasure
of his trip among 3,7O0 railroad men.
Before the pay car starts down the
road the hands in the jersey City depot
and yard are paid over the car counter,
and special messenger runs down to
the meadow Shops" half way down to
Newark, and pays the men at work
there. AS many as 1900 men are en-
ployed there at one time, and if they
were given an hour TO go to the depot
and get their money the company would
lose the result of 1900 hours work
which would be equal to giving one
skilled man six months holiday on
pay.
AS the train moves down the road the
employees who have been notified by
telegraph of the exact hour at which the
pay car will reach them are waiting at
the stations, and not more than twenty
minutes or half an hour is spent at any
point--eyen at Newark or Trenton-un-
til the car reaches Bristol, Pa, in the
evening, when 1t is switched upon
siding, emptied of its contents, and left
idle until early moru.ng.
The payments of wages are not made
in coin or bills, but in checks. The
train is one of the fastest in the world
its schedule time being at the rate of
sixty miles an hour.

nian bound for New Jersey, and the train
had hardly left Chicago behind whom he
stopped the conductor and said:
"On which side of the car can best

The conductor told him that there were
no mountains along the route, and the
man Indignantly replied:
"What did you build the road forP
What do you suppose I'm travelling forP
This must be one-horse road if it don't
take in at least one mountain!"
He cooled down after awhile, but in
half an hour he tackled the brakeman
with the query: ..

"Do you think shipped on this road
as freight or live stockp" he called out.
eff you don't run past any old ruins,
why don't you say so on the time-cards,
and not be deceiving peopleP"
When the conductor next came along
the Californian was looking from the
window to catch sight of the bridges, and
he turned and said:
eff we come to any bridges over eight
hundred feet long, just give me the word.
don't care about seeing any shorter
ones" ..IfN ..D
The conductor had to admit that the
road was trying to get along with few
short bridges, and the passenger bobbed
around in his seat and replied: a

If you haven't any long bridges on the
line, why didn't you hunt for new

About thirty miles west of Detroit the
Californian caught sight of lake afar
off, and going out on the platform he
asked the brakeman:
"Don't we run along the shore of that
lake, over therep" ......
"No; we are as near as we shall goP"
"You are, ehp Then that settles this
road with me! When I come back I'll
ride in lumber wagon! You can take
your confounded old railroad and eat it,
but you can't fool me again. Looks to
me as if the folks who built it simply

THE STORY. OF A COIN,

There is delightful zest about it, this
finding of a unique coin, II bit of money
which remains alone of the thousands
which were made ages ago, which
no one but the true numismatist can
feel. The survival of the cooins of
the Greek and Roman periods appears
when one thinks about it, quite remark
able. 1t is the fate of the precious met
ais to change ofteni in form, for eventually
all the gold and silver goes to the melt
ing-pot. Such discoveries, then, as have
been made of old coins are due entirely
to accidental hoardings, stored away in
the bowels of the earth, which time
Only by chance brings to light. The
military chest of some consul, the COM
mander of a Greek or Roman army,
might have been buried to escape cap
ture, and thus there turns up, most un-
expectedly, some thousands of years af-
terward, the gold and silver of pagan
emperor. There may yet be slumbering

The General Is Asleep.

Garibaldi's return to Rome was the
occasion of an affecting demonstration
of popular love, which recalls to mind
one of the most characteristic episodes
of his glorious career. When he en-
tered Naples he was exceedingly tired,
and he went to bed. He had just fallen
to sleep when an enormous crowd of
lazzaroni rolled to the piazza in front of
the palace and began to shout deafening
evuivas. At once Judge Gusmeroh, the
faithful friend of the liberator, sprangto
the door and said in low tone, "The
general is asleep" From the foremost
ranks of the crowd the password went in
few seconds the round of the piazza.
Immediately, as if under the spell of a
magic force, dead silence was estab-
lished. "We had better go and let him
rest" whispered the men one to the
other. They turned back and left on
tiptoe. In a minute the piazza was
empty. London World.
