THE other afternoon a lady called at
a iewelry store in Portland, and before
entering she left her baby in Its carriage
at the door. Having finished her our
chases she went home. The jeweler
finally was attracted by the child's cry
ing and took it into the store and
amused it with some trinkets until ITS
mother missed the baby and returned.

CAIRO, MONDAY EVENING, ,
June 3. 1879.

June 3, 1879.
The hot weather seems to have a de
pressing effect on business, and there is
very little doing in any of the leading
branches. This is owing in part TO a lack
Of supplies TO fill orders, in some, and a
lack Of buyers in others, A sharp storm Of
thunder and lightning visited this locality
las, night, and light, feecy clouds have
been driving across the sky all day to-day
signs Of another thunder storm.
FLOUR-Tbe market rules weaker and
prices are quoted 10 TO 10 cents off. Deal
ers are expecting first arrivals of new -four
within week or two.
HAY-The market is easier. Low
grades are over stocked and hard TO sell,
CORN-Steady and firm. Receipts are
more liberal and the demand fair.
OATS-None coming in. The demand
Is also very light.
MEAL--Scarce and firm. City meal is
in steady demand at quotations. No re-
ceip,s of country.
BRAN-Unchanged.
BUTTER-A large stock is on the mar
ket that is getting old and cannot be
worked off. Choicest receipts of fresh is
dull and common is not wanted at any
price.
EGGS Receipts are only moderate and
the demand good.
POULTRY-Good spring chickens are
scarce and in good demand. Old chickens
are plenty and dull.
BERRIES-All kinds are scarce and re-
ceipts find ready sale.
POTATOES-Choice are scarce and II
good demand.
TOBACCO-Contirues to arrive freely
and prices are fully up to quotations. Man

ArgOnaut Wives,

In San Francisco and other large towns
of California 1t is said that many of the
married women, past the middle age,
nave been the wives of two. three, and
sometimes four or five different men,
owing to the freedom of divorce, which
used to exist, and still exists in a mOdi-
fed form, in that state. Women were
in plentiful lack in The days of the Ar
gOnauts, and for some time after and
when one appeared in the community
with good looks, intelligence and mag
netisBl to recommend her, she was well
nigh fought for. As rule, the women
who migrated to FL Dorado were not o.
the finest. Many of them we're more or
less adventuresses, and, seeing their ex-
treme marketabieuess, enhanced their
value by very broad ccquetry, and dis
posed OF themselves to the highest bid
ders. After securing one husband, they
entertained proposals Tor another, and
not unfrequently slipped from No. to
No. 2, through some legal trick, before
No. had any idea that he had proved
maritally unsatisfactory. 1t is related
that, about 1858, three members OF a San
FanciscO firm had each in turn the same
wife, in the spSce of twenty-four months
Some of the most matrimOnisliy enter
prising women in the country jOurneyed
thither twenty t. twenty-five years ago,
and made their marriage Temunerative
by getting settlements cash down b fore
the tying of the nuptial knot. The lives OF
not few of them would, if faithfully
chrOnicled, read like the most sensational
OF sen satienal novels.

Why The Women Are Left Behind.

why" inquired the News man, if
you Cinnamon care so much for your
families, and are constantly sending them
money for their support, do you not
bring your wives to America ~
"Too small shOe," was Mr.. All Lum's
pIoInpt reply. Then he proceeded to ex-
plain in language that the News man
benevOlently translated for the public,
that owing to the high degree ofcultiva-
ton which the Chinese women have at
tsiDed, they would be unsble to walk the
streets, 10 drag swill carts, plow, go into
the lecture field or engage IN the other
occupations which are open to the soaring
genius of emaDcipated American women.
Further, we blush for Ali Lum in men,
tioning it, he went On to declare that the
prudent Chinaman was frightened by
the extravaganza OF American women.
Knowing the frailty OF the sex, he in
stinctively perceived that the Chinese
women if transplanted here would at
once adopt the custom of their American
sisters. The result would be that it
would cost eighty, nay even hundred
dollare a month 10 support wives who
now are Tapped in luxury on an allow
ance of five or six dollars a month.
When asked why Chinamau did not
marry American women, All Lum, with
s.deprecatlng grin, stated that " Mclean
woman no likee Chinaman."

The Man Who Booted Dickens.
Washington Post.


Old Major ThrockmOrtOn, keeper of
the Gait House, in Louisville, is dead.
He was a good old man and Kentucky
to the bone. When Dickens came to
his house in 1916 the Msjor gracefully
and Hospitality addressed HIM thus while
the assembled crowd looked on and lis
tened with admiration akin to enthusi-
asm: "Mr. Dickens, we are glad to
welcome you. We know you a"d admire
you, and will reckon it a privilege to be
allowed to extend to you the hOspitali
ties of the metropolis Of Kentucky. As
your special host | beg that you will
command me for any service in my
power to render" Mr. Dickens received
this with frigid stare. "When I need
you, landlord" he said, pointing to the
door, al will ring" The next moment
the distinguished author was half way
ont of the window, the Majors boots
under his coat tail, and numerous Ken
tucKians holding the Majors coat tail,
for the Major viewed insults from a
strictly Kentucky point of view, and the
only mention OF this incident in the
American Notes" is that Dickens saw
a pig roofing In the streets of Louisville,
which proves that great novelists are
more careful about their fiction than
their facts.

A Paris "Creche."
Letter 10 Son Franeiseo On.


In the French educational department
is q model of "creche" in working
order. A "creche" is an establishment
where working mothers may leave their
infants during the day to be cared for.
1t keeps during the hours of work the
infant of fifteen days to that of three
years of age. The "creche" is visited
daily by physician and lady inspectors.
No infant is allowed to pass the night in
one. No infant is admitted if sick.
There are over thirty "creches" in
Paris and several of the suburban towns.
They accommodate from forty to one
hundred infants daily. Some are gratu.
| itous, and Others require a small fee-
Each "creche" is constructed after q
certain fixed model, and contains gar
den, covered yard, play room, din
ing room, kitchen, linen room, provision
and toilet room, and cradle room.
The ''creche" was first establiehed be
tween thirty and forty years ago. 4
visited one yesterday l found it in all
respects as ted-theoretically a
most desirable refuge for poor mothers
infant during working hours. Every
apartment was thoroughly neat and clean.
1t contained accommodations for forty
children. About twenty were in charge
during my visit. The care of these
devolved upon two persons-a man and
a woman.
Here were fifteen two year olds in the
covered yard. The srUU nd was covered
with mats, on which rome were sitting,
some standing. and some tOddling about.
OF course at this age they couldn't talk
much with each ether, and the faculties
hadn't ripened sufficiently to develop
any regular plan of amusement. They
looked like children of poverty and
crime, but they were DeaG and clean,
aud all wore pinafOres OF coarse check,
which | presume were furnished at the
"creche." Their condition was certainly
better than If left in charge Of the next

We visited the sleeping room. Forty
iron cradles swung on supports OF the
same material, all supplied with clean
beds, sheets and pillow cases, occupied
one side of the room. 1t WAS very tOylike
in its furnishing. the little low table
and seats are arranged in two cOncentric
circles, so the children go in at one end
of the beuches and come out at the other,
thus preventing any crowding or confu
sion. The children are also furnished

Snow CRYSTALS.
From the Hartford CsurAnt


Snow crystals form very peculiarly.
To the naked eye some crystals average
from a quarter to third of an inch in
length. The variety OF snow crystals is
enuless, and microscopes says that the
distinctive form noticed on Thursday last
has been seldom meet with in his ex-
perience. He writes: What particular
state of things it may indicate respecting
the temperature of the upper air, or the
action OF the law ofpolarity which governs
the formation Of all crystals, can only be
coDjectured. But the formation itself,
in these, as in all snow crystals, is an
admirable illustration of the precision
and beauty Of natuIe's wondrous laws.
That the freezing molecules, the atomic
particles Of the vaporous material of the
atmosphere should, in growing colder,
develop 80 exquizitely this law of their
attracting and repellant poles, and illus
trate IL in forms 30 delicately, 30 ethere-
ally beautiful and 30 endless in their
variety, Is indeed study to excite our
admiration at the evidence it affords,
among q thousand concurrent testi-
monies, great and small, of the benefoent
intelligence and design which has 30 evil
IDENTIFY presided over the constitution of
worlds. Snow crystals are delightful
study and they can be observed with
low magnifying powers to great sdvan,

Earle, the physician of the Chicago
home for inebriates, who thinks that the

Liquid nourishment only is given him.
If he is excessively nervous, or is suffer.
jDg from cerebral affection, he is given
nerve sedatives, like the bromides or ex.
tracts of valeriAn. If he has been for 8
long time without sleep except when
drunk, it is deemed essential that he
should have long sleep ON his first night
in the home, and in the majority of
eases this is brought about by doses OF
bydrste of chlorsl. On the second day,
II the nervousness is followed by depres-
sion, quinine and ammonia are given, but
no alcoholic stimulsnt. Usually he is
able to leave the hospital department on
the third day. Thereafter during his
tay he lives on an ordinary diet. DR..

trouble of various kinds, either in bust

Enforced Silence for Twenty Years.
0glethorpe.ssGa.. Ech

There has Just died in this county a
lady who, st the age of sixteen years,
from some cause or other, stopped the
use OF her tongue, and, until just before
her death, twenty years after, she never
uttered word. As her last hours were
drawing near, she sent for some of her
friends and dictated her will in a man.
ner that proved her sound in mind and
fluent in language. She spoke of many
things that happened in the country
during the apparent dumbness, but gave
no reason fer her strange conduct. An
attempt was made to break her will on
the ground of insanity, but it failed.
