4 spurious Wild Man.

LONDON Iclegrlph,
Some days ago thrilling interest was
excited among the people of one of Ber-
Inns largest suburbs by the erection OF a
huge booth, purporting to contain gen.
uine wild man of such tremendous
strength and inveterate ieroCity that it
was found necessary by his lessee to
have him watched day and night by
four stalwart keepers armed with loaded
rifles. This terrific savage drew
amazingly, the suburban fair crowding
his booth in vast numbers, and seeming
ly never to weary of admiring his mus
cular limbs, or listening to his angry
howls, or of watching his menancing
gestures. a few days ago, however,
while the proprietor of the show was
expatiating upon the perils he had en-
countcred in capturing this untamable
child of nature and was calling attcn-
ton to the manifest irciulncss of his dis
position, a wind storm, such as the Ger
man capital is not infrcquently visited
bv at this season of the year, arose, and
began TO buffet the booth with such We
hemencc that, fearing the structure
would collapse, the wild mans four
armed guardians dropped their rifles

ic-stricken exponent of his sanguinary
peculiaritiCs. The horror of the au-
diencc may be imagined, threatened as
they were 10y the double danger of be-
ing crushed by the totterng booth, and
eaten more or lessalive by the infuriated
savage. The wild man, however, showed
more presence of mind than his heroic
captor or stern custodians, for he pro-
ceeded eagerly to assure the terrified
assemblage that there was really no
danger, and that, if they would honor
him with their attention, he would con.
tinue the performance thus untimely
interrupted Recognizing tame ma
tive of the Spree Wald in the alleged
abcrigino of the virgin forest, the audi
ence hurridly dispersed; and, an hour
later, the booth and its indomitable wild
man had vanish I.

The Sea Saw in Prices

The instability and fluctuations il

Gently, both in stocks and commodities
that the work of buying and selling is {
very difficult one for real operators, a,
well as spectators. This Is the case moi
only in this country, hut in Europe also
and the conditions upon which men arc
! enabled 10 do any sort of business have
been rendered much harder than they
would otherwise need be. In this al.
ternation of "boom" and panic il is
very fortunate that we have not had the
| added difficulty Of irredcemable paper
currency To encounter. The fluctuations
IN the metal markets have been trying
both TO producers and consumers. The
London Economist marks down the rise
and fall of these articles of prime neces-
5lly since July |, 1879. Copper rose 35
percent in six months and fell "A per
cent in three months Pig iron, in the
some periods, rose IS per cent. and fell
81 per cent; tin rose 81 per cent and fell
80 per cent; tin plates rose 81 and fell IS
per cent; and lead rose IS and fell 2i per
cent.
1t will be observed that though about
half the rise in these prices has been lost,
prices are still So much better than thev
were nine months ago that there is no
danger of any of them getting back to
the old level, unless It be in the case of
pig iron. That has fallen back four
hlths of the rise already. As the Econ
omja says:
at is a universal law that one cx-
rene beeets another, and hence it is
not at all improbable that prices "A month

Strong knees were supple at his word,
Swords glimmered at his will,

Their wars of Right and Wrong:
For him philosophy unveiled

I must have my own way in this par

The lieutenant presented his weap

ingly grant you time to make any

The young man muttered some
thing of which an humble IL thank

SIn that case said the Englishman
"since reconciliation between us is

by q spontaneous impulse uncovered

At length, seizing his pistol ano

towards the valet, who stood neal
