Lost His Shawl.

shawl for his wife. 1t cost between
$4,000 and $4,000, and he was naturally

necessity OF paying several hundred dol
lars more in the shape Of custom duty.
On board the vessel was an exceedingly
attractive lady, to whom when they were
in sight of land he confded his dilemma.

that is no dilemma at all. | will wear
the shawl ashore, and then no question
Will be asked The gentleman paid
glowing tribute to the wonderful fertility
of the feminine mind and accepted the
offer, The shawl graced the lady's
shoulders, and was certainly very be-
coming. The trunks were examined and
passed with that mysterious chalk mark,
without which no baggage can receive
the benediction of Uncle Sam, and then
the gentleman saluted the lady, spoke Of
the pleasure he had enjoyed in her COM
pany, hoped they would have the pleas
ure OF crossing the ocean together again,
and then asked for the shawl 4 beg
your pardon, she said, but what shawl do
you refer to?' He naturally answered,
Why. the one you have on, to be sure
And why should I give you my shawl
she inquired. In a word, the dialogue
waxed so warm that she threatened to
call policeman unless he desisted, and
since he could not legally claim the
shawl without convicting himself OF
deliberate attempt to swindle the gov
eminent, he was compelled to leave with
the fair stranger the present which he
had intended for his wife.

What Tobacco Is Made OF.

We have heard the tobacco-user claim
that the weed was food and drink to
him, but never thoroughly believed
him until British Parliamentary re-
port on adulteration set forth the fol-
lowing schedule: "Sugar, alum, lime,
flour or meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpeter,
fuller's earth, starch, malt commings,
chromate of lead, peat, moss. molasses,
burdock leaves, common salt, endive
leaves. lampblack, gum, red dye, black
dye composed of vegetable red and lic-
orice, scraps of newspaper. cinnamon
stick, cabbage leaves and straw brown
paper" This is convincing. Not only
is it food and drink, but it is also house
and land, paint-shop and literature,
with drugs, condiments and chemicals
thrown in ad libitum. Verify, tobacco
is potent, but little diffusive. Boston,

MARK LANE GRAIN MARKETS
The Mark Lane Express of Feb "a says
Flowing and sowing have proceeded despite
the varirble weather, altenatingIsunshine, wind
or rains, which caused floods in the Midland
counties, Elsewhere fair area of land has
been planted in wheat and beans. Vegetation
is still backward. Variable reports continue
relative to the condition of autumn sown
wheat Farm work is generally behind hand
Cattle have thriven fairly, but the stock of
roots is rapidly diminishing, particularly tur-
nips, and sheep farmers are ANXIOUS. Reports
of the condition Of winter wheat in Scotland
are satisfactory. Potatoes have been steadily
rising owing to the demand for seed for Ire
land. English wheat in Mark Lane and the
provinces has been marketed in small quaint
ties and unsatisfactory condition. Growers
were unwilling to accept thelower rates which
were offered and business consequently was
very dull. Sales were only practicable at de-
cline OF 6 pence to l shilling per quarter. The
decline, however, principally affected badly
conditioned parcels. The imports of foreign
wheat into London have been moderate. The
demand has been chiefly of a retail character
| as town millers seem determined to hold of
until they see some better ground for existence
of present quotations in America than specu-
lative enterprise. G, assumption, however, goes
on though speculation is absent; and business
though quiet, is steady. Prices have beer
maintained except for Russian, for which the
sellers are obliged to accept little less
money, though all the depression was re
covered to-day, MONDAY. Maize is still scarce
on spot aud prices improved both in Londo1
and Liverpool. Barley and oats quiet, bu
for the latter an occasional advance of three
pence per quarter was obtainable. Arr
walls at port of call are moderate. There hal
been steady demand for wheat, chiefly TO
the united kingdom, at an advance of a shil
ling to shilling and six pence per quarter
Only one cargo of maize arrived whicl
brought 27s Cd, being an advance Of nine cent
per quarter. Business in wheat for shipmen
was limited, owing to the Indifference of-buy
ers, and the advance demanded by sellers
Maize is in active demand, chiefly for Febru
airy and March shipments at OBS to 25s cd
Sales of English wheat last week, 81, $50 quar-
tiers, against 5655O quarters at 37s I'd pc
the same week last year. Imports into thu

Cape and Sword.

When Bonaparte first paid court to
Madame de Beauharnais, neither was
rich enough to keep carriage, and the
young hero, who was deeply in love,
often gave the charming widow his arm
when she went to visit her man of
business, a notary named Raguideau.
Madame,w who had a great confidence in
this legal adviser, who was a friend as
well, went to see him Immediately after
her engagement to Bonaparte, who, as
usual, accompanied her, but, from mo-
tives of delicacy, did not enter the no.
tary's cabinet, but remained in an adj
joining room, where several clerks
were writing.
The door being imperfectly closed,
he here heard nearly all that was said
during the interview, and especially the
arguments used by Raguideau to deter
Madame de Beauharnais from the mar
rage she acknowledged herself about
to contract.
Mark my words, madame" said the
notary, you are about to commit a
great folly, of which you will bitterly
repent. Why, this man you are about
to espouse has nothing in the world but
a cape and sword"
Said Josephine: "Bonaparte never
spoke to me of this, and I had not the
faintest suspicion that he had overheard
Raguideauis contemptuous words. Can
you, Bourrienne, figure to yourself my
establishment when, eight years after,
on the day of his coronation, as soon as he
was invested with his imperial robes, he
said, Let them go and seek Raguideau;
have him come instantly. 1 have some
thing to say to him."
The notary was promptly brought,
and stood much astonished before the
Emperor, who with his peculiar sar-
donic smile said to him, Monsieur!
have l nothing in the world but cape
and sword?"
