Owing to the damp and disagreed
BILE weather which prevailed during the
week, and the bad cOnd tions OF the
roads, few country buyers visited the
city and trade in all departments was
dull. The receipts OF country pro-
duce were light, aud butter, eggs and
chickens are IN demand at fair prices.
Very little coitln aud only small
quantity Of hides were received, and
prices for the commodities have been
weak with downward tendency.
Cotton ranged during the week at 10
to IL l-2 cents. The larger part Of the
hides received were what is known TO
the trade as ''faIlen hides" or hides
from cattle Il a hsye died from ex-
posure. These are dull at 10 to 10
cents. Day fl Mt, heavy weights, are
steady at IS 1-S cents. Hides, as they
run, are weak at IL to IA cents. The
receipts of gram during the week were
light, but there is an ample supply
with an active retail trade. Prices are
steady al &c to 20 cents. with pruba-
bIlity of decline as the gres3 rises
and the range becomes better.

Little Q ieen Christine, OF Spain, who
q few weeks ago was married with so
much pomp, and who seemed the hap
piest OF brides, did not bear up. as the
official prints of Madrid represented
against the shock she received when
pistol balls whIstled by her and the
Kings heads. She has fallen into a
state of health which gives rise TO the
grsvest spprehensions. Fit follows

The New York Herald has a story
from Cairo, Egypt, of the circumstai :
ces leading up to the overthrow of the
Sultan Abdul Az in 1876. AS nigh,
be expected IN land of harems, a wo-
man was at the bottom of it all, and
she was the favorite wife of the Sultan,
the mother of his best-loYed son. The
Sultan was proud, imperiou5 and re-
vengeful. He had been known to or
der that female slave of hight behav-
ior should be thrown from the walls of
the palace to the stone pavement be-
nestb, and he had tigers relish for
blood. Pride, like love, is sometimes
blind, and Abdul would not deign to
believe that one of his wives would
dream of being false. A favorite, ad-
vantaging by this weakness of her lord,
carried on liaison with the minister OF
war. Though discreetly conducted,
this was discovered by ar official, the
brother of one of the wives, who was
directed to disclose it to the Sultan.
This was done. The. Sultan at once
proceeded to the apartment of the Of
tender to wreak his own vengeance.

depart, and then, with sheathed sword,
beat the woman into unconciousness.
This done, he kicked her, and death
shortly ensued. Her favorite slave was
an unseen witness Of the brutal aud
bloody work, and was present when the
SultaBa woke to Consciousness. The
dying woman charged her slave to IN
form her lover of the situation and beg
him to avenge her. In few hours be
was in possession of the facts, and in
stantly resolved to crush Abdul, both
as q means of personal safety and of
vengeance. He formed his plan with
almost incredible swiftness. The shiek

PEELED his signature to the declaration
that, "when calf by his own act
proves himself unworthy TO reign, it Is
not necessary to maintain him." This
was abundant release for the Moham-
medans from their allegiance. Taking
two regiments from the war depart
ment, tae minister proceeded to the
palace, quietly secured lite guards, and
made, an easy prisoner of Abdul. The
next day Murad was proclaimed, and
the world was informed that q political
reyolution had deposed Abdul.

THE stage which left the city Thurs
day morning Tor Marion, met with an
accident a few miles this side Of the
latter place. A bunch of horses at iull
speed attempted to cross the road just
ahead OF the stage, which frightened
the stage horses and caused them to
make q sudden wheel that broke off
the tongue and upset the coach. The
horses dashed away over the prairies,
but were soon captured. Mr.. j. W..
Orr, one of the stage Droprietors, and
q passenger were slightly injured.
THe festive bell punch II a tax COL
lector and debt-payiIg instrument is
wofully uncertain, and the receipts
paid to the county collector grow
small and beautifully less by degrees.
The amount received from alcoholic
drinks for Jshdsry was $31674; malt
liquors, $3S.75; making u total OF
1856 40, which is a Ealing off from
December receipts of $14S II. The
highest amount collected fiom any one
saloon was $34, and the lowest $3.50.
The punch In one or two OF the beer
rooms where alcoholic drinks are not
dispensed failed to register at all, and
1t is feared If times don't get better the
proprietoIs will be forced into bank
ruptcy and the rooms closed. 1t is
somewhat mysterious, however, that
these beer rooms seem to be doing a
thriving business. The total amount
of revenue derived from the registers
since they have been in operation
amounts to SIS, 406.62 Under the old
law the amount would have been
1876. The bell punch is proving q
signal failure, and the sooner the fes-
tive little machine Is required to step
down and out the better it will be for
all concerned.

The late grand jury furnished a
good example TO future todes Of that
description in visiting the almshouse
without entailing upon the county
the usual expense of ten dollars for
transportation. When lull of bust
ness occurred a proposition was made
and unanimously adopted that the
jury walk, and they did SO, making
the trip and examination within two
hours. The visit to the jsil vas also
made during favorable absence oil
other business. In this way the
steward and sheriff, having no init
nation of the visit, did not have the
customary lunch prepared as an invi-
tation to the jury to give them a IA
vorable report. These are creditable
innovations upon a habit which has
grown up of late years in connection
with jury inquests into the manage
ment and condition of our county in
situations. We are glad, therefore, to
make this note Of rule more hon
ored in the breach than in the
observance.
