marks were mada,hy them to the speaker,
such as. 'You are: twisting your time, ,':etc.
a whistle followed, a groan Of disnpproba-
ti0n, three or four fire-crackers were touched
off III the yard away from the building, and
the speaker suddenly left the stand and de-
clined to speak further"
A SPECIMEN EDITORIAL.
To cap the climax the Evening CONNER
cidl here comes out in an editorial this even-
ing, Of which the following is a verbatim
copy:
negro bulldozers. We had occasion some
in this city who were attempting to prevent
men Of their own race from voting for Han
cock, English, and Chalmers. We said to
those miserable tools Of white knayes, and
we say to them now, that the Democrats Of

man entitled to vote shall cast his vote in ac-
cordance with his own opinion. twill make

which is not largely increasing its imports Of

Tho great pork deal is practically over. About
$3.50 brls were settled Saturday, aud some 1000
brls more wera left outstanding at the close or
business hours. This included ono lot Of $500
brls two lots Of 1000 brls each, and some smaller
ones to make up tho 1000 brls. We arc not abte
to state it as "official," but there Is
reason to believe that most Of that
will be settled up Monday, rs at least half of it
Is short by partes who believe in living up to IL
contract but have acted under orders from
their principals to let the deal go over, In one
case it Is probable that the murter will be pushed
to arbitration, the party holding that the deal
has been conducted In "cruel" manner, with
out..n ttnGe Of mercy.
The pork deal has run through three months,
August, September, and October. The party
controlling it bought about 100000 brls, aud
sold MS much, making an enormous transaction
in the aggregate Tho profits on 1t cannot bo
much less than s2,225o,U00 after paying all ex-
pcnscs, and they were necessarily large 4
great deal Of the pork was bought ut S9T5 and
below. The shorts who held out till the close Of
August had to buy iu Mt about $11.0U; and since
then the price was advanced 500 moro, though
there is reason to think tint most OF tho Sep
tember shorts we're settled ut about $500.

Do you ever think Of the days gone by
When you were all In this world to me
When you often said, Is o my darling,
In my heart Of hearts love only thee -

ife-Fortune-Hope-Iw would give them all
For single hour Of the days gone By.
Do you ever think or the loving kiss.

Those hours were u blooming oosts
In my lffe's dull, drcary wilderness.

Would find thee clasped to my heart again;

There: has been q misunderstanding be-
tween tie above roads and the Alton regard
ing the switching business from the Bridge
port District" !" for some weeks past. Owing
to tue heavy freight movement, the Alton
issued orders that switching engines of other
roads could not 70 to the above named dis
trict during the day time until the freight
blockade ha1 been removed. General Man-
ager McMullin, however, claims that the or
der was modified some time ago, and switch
ing engines Of other roads were allowed to
go to the district whenever the tracks were
notuSed by the engines and cars of his own
road. Still it seems that the other roads
were not satisfied. and consequently took
joint action to keep away from the Bridge
port District" of the Alton altogether on
and after Nov. l.
thinks this is simply u piece Of "bulldoz-
ing" on the part Of the other lines. But he
does not feel, greatly alarmed, as the above
action cannot jure his road III the least, and
will certainly damage most the interest ut the
roads which issued the circular. The Wabash
and Eastern Illinois Roads were not parties
to the above agreement, and would continue
to 70 to the Bridgeport district of the Alton
for business. The Alton, together with
points on the roads that signed the circular.
Consequently the Wabash and Eastern illi-
nois Roads would be greatly benefited by the
movement, as they would get the business
refused by the other roads.
0fr. McAlulIin also thinks that his action in
leasing the portion Of his road from Archer
avenue to Sixteenth street, through Grove
the Wabash and Eastern illinois to get into
the heert of the city, had something to do
with the rnfriendly attitude Of the lines
that issued the above circular. ::

THE RAILROADS.
EEAsT-BoUND FRE1GHrs.

stASI-HOUND FREIGHIS-
There was Slight increase in the east
bound freight shipments during the past
week, but not enough to cut much of Il
figure. The total shipments of flour, grain,
and provisions for the week ending Oct. 50
were 81, GOO tons, against 33, ,975 tons the week
previous, an increase Of LIS tons. It is sur
prising that although the Western roads are
blocked up with freight, and have more to do
than they can well take care of, the east
bound shipments have remained about sta
tionary for some months past. Never before
did the lake competition extend so far In the
season: and in former years the east-bound
business used to pick up q month or
more earlier than this. a month more,
however, the competition by lake will cease,
and the railroads hope then to largely in
crease their shipments, eyen at advanced
rates.
The following statement, showing the re-
ceipts and shipments Of grain and flour at
and from Chicago from Jan. !, 1880, to Oct.
q, 1850. will give i'll Idea Of the Importance
OF the lake to Chicag0, and Mt the same time
proves that the great blow that is being made
by St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, and
other interior points about their divertlng SO
much business down the Mississippi and
other river routes, amounts to hut little, and
is but a drop in the bucket when compared
with the immense amount Of business done
by lake from Chicago:

tom & Lower Chanceford Tobacco Grow
ers' association in York county, Pa. While
speaking Of the 1880 crop in York county,
Mr.. Ramsey said: "The production Of
York county this year will approximate
$4,000 cases. The tobacco Is almost all
cut. and is curing finely. The size is large,
and the quality excellent. Growers have
had very little trouble With fleas this year,
the early tobacco having escaped it en-
tirely, while the damage done to the late
tobacco is scarcely noticeable. As whole
the crop is grand success, and the grow
ers are perfectly satisfied with the result
of ftheir lab0rs. The area planted in Peach
Bottom & Chanceford townships reached
800 acres. Some have already begun
stripping.

OCTOBER.
A few more songs end soon these tuneful
voices
Ger the blue splendor OF the Southern Sea
viii sound, where the red taniger rejoices
Beneath the acacia and the orange tree.
Soon, one by one. the rods now bright and
golden
Will turn to dusty brambles by the way.
And starry asters fall, as from the olden
Rich tapestries the glories fade away.
Slowly the rushcs, and the flags of iris,
Dropping no more their purple banners
raise,
And deep, as in the land of dark Osiris,
stgeems tho red light through bars of chry-
sOprase.
A few more days and all this world Of flowers,
The light and glory on the land and main,
viii fade, as once ON great Aladdin's towers.
The enchantment passed, and all was dark
again.
No kingly power, or wand of necrOmancer,
Can gild with gold the withered fields again,
Nor clarion voice can ILL., with jocund an
swer-
veil OF silence falls on hill and plain.
Yet in tho west an orange light is burDing,
Where bright heavens steadiast lamp is lit
on high;
And bold Orion comes, each night returning,
With countless worlds on worlds, beyond
the sky.
And love shall live, though all the rocks
should crumblc,
And with the cvcr-blooming cypress last,
And warm hands clasp tho loud the storm
winds rumble,
And joys burn brighter in the wintry blast
