ON CHANGE IN CHICAGO.
Markets all Surprisingly Strong, and Close
above Fridays Prices.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The markets exhibited
very decided signs of life to-day, and there was
strong upward tendency to prices quite sur
prising in view OF the general belief that the
eastern failure and semi-panic in Philadelphia
would break the market. The money mar
ket here and in New York seems to be the KEY
to the situation, and just at present money is
plenty. Orders from outside are large and the
feeling is for higher prices. Wheat opened Il
@9sc higher, declined Hc, rallied stronger and
advanced &c, and finally closed cent above
last Friday. The foreign advices were only
steady, but New York was little better. The
trading was more than usual, and the receipts
were comparatively large, while shipments
were small. Wheat sales 1.25x@1. .26X Jan
uary; 1.265s1.27x February; 127x al 3Sx
March. Corn was in same condition as wheat
but relatively higher and more active. Con-
siderable shipping is being done in small
way. All advances were firmer, and the mar
ket after some fluctuations closed 11S@14c
above Fridays sales; 60K@6115c January; 6l
@73kc February; Cox @67Xc May. Oats
were firm and somewhat improved, but only
trife. Consignments seem to be going into
store with expectation of better prices; sales
44944K &c January; 43A@433sc February; 45Z
@46Hc May. On call all grains were firm
and higher, with heavy sales. The advance
was maintained to the close Pork took
long step up and advanced SO@35c, closing
steady at about the outside prices; sales 16 As
@1675 January; 1667H@17.00 February;

tive, with moderate demand, but advanced

able to act without previous superior
sanction, and have entire control of the

action in the event of disturbances. The

Paul du Chaillu and His Response.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-At a meeting to-
night of the Norwegian Old settlers, the
president of the organization introduced
Paul du Chaillu, as the distinguished and

country and people, in order to give a
graphic history to the world of the ''land
of the midnight sum- He gave that as
a toast to their guest.
Du Chaillu, in response, said the presi-
dents speech did more than justice in
speaking so kindly of his last work. He
had tried his best to give an account of
Scandinavia, and was very glad to have
this acknowledgment of his labors. He
continued: 81 love dear, dear old
Norway and Sweden. Now that
! am so far away your mountains
look more grand, and your valleys more
charming. l love to think of you, dear
old land, aud of the friends who are there
and are dear to me. Let us all join in
sending our greetings to your fatherland.
Tell them that you love the land of your
birth. Tell them that their old friend
Paul thinks Of them. Land of the mid
night sun, Scandinavia, ancient home
OF Vikings, land of brave hearts and
noble women, We salute thee; and with
all the might Of our souls we wish thee
happiness and prosperity. Norsemen

The Trial Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The court was
densely packed this morning. Upon reaching
his seat Gulteau looked around smilingly and
said: 81 had nice Christmas dinner, and
hope everybody else did. had lots of fruit,
flowers, and lady visitors. and good time -
DR.. A. E. Mcdonald, superintendent of
Wards Island Insane hospital, testified that
during his practice he had 5000 cases of in
sanity. Had given special attention to the
study of insanity. Witness stated the differ
ence between delusions and insane delusions,
the one being subject of correction of judg-
ment and the senses, the latter not being cor
rectable and for that reason designated as
insane deluslons, also illusions and hallucina-
tions. Giving illustrations from his own ex-
pericnce, he believed that judging from ex-
perience, the claim of inspiration frequently
asserted by insane persons proceeded from q
source of halucinstion or insane delusion af-
fecting the senses. Witness was here asked if
person acting under the claim of inspiration,
would Indicate it in any other way than by
their assertions, and rsplied: Their actions
and behavior would Indicate it as well as their
assertions. To illustrate it, person claim
ing to be sJesus Christ, and acting under
an inspiration, clothed himself like the Savior,
gave away property, and slept out doors be-
cause the Savior did not know where to lay
his head"
Witness was asked if such persons would
feel any apprehension of bodily injury, or
would take any precaution to guard against
danger. He replied: Inspiration always
overides all fear of bodily pain or injury, and
renders person who believes he is acting un-
der inspiration wholly oblivious to such con-
sideraSiOns'
Witness was asked if such person usually
planned with elaboration, an replied: s'On
the contrary, their acts are sudden in both
conception and execution as d rule, and they
seldom attempt to avoid consequences in any
way"
"There are two kinds of insanity, doc
tor" suggested the prisoner, ''the
crank insanity and the abraham
insanity. The latter is the school belong to-.
Tell US what you think of abraham, doctor. ~
Witness described what is commonly called
temporary insanity, when man commits an
act which is one evidence of his insanity, and
when the persoh is to ali appearances per-
fectly sane in all other respects both before
and after the act.''
Guiteau-"That's just my case, exactly"
Witness-"1 do not believe in such insanity
