Anecdote Of the Late Gen. Shields.


d. Y. Adee, in the United Service Magazine.
II was once ordered to the front to take
partin forward movement under Gen.
Shields. Shields, be it known, had un-
questionably kissed the blarney stone. I
arrived with my regiml u! in the evening,
and at once reported at the generals tent.
There was a number Of colonels sitting and
standing about the tent: and when went
in Gen. Shields came forward to meet me,
and putting his hand up to his mouth, whis-
pered in my ear, TIM glad to see you here,
emphasizing the You III complimentary
manner. Presently another colonel arrived
and came in, when Shields stepped up to
him and went through the same motion.
Then another arrived, with the same result.
When we we're all dismissed, with orders to
report next morning at daybreak, we bid
the general good night and walked outside
together. When we were out of earshot,
said I, gentlemen, think can tell each
one of you what General Shields whispered
to him. What? what 2 asked they ALL Why

you here" Every colonel bowed assent.
Genclal Shields had politelyhnd politically
addressed to each one of us the same graft

A Woman Silently Follows for Twenty.three
Years the Man Who Had Wronged Her-A
Wonderful History and an Interesting
Story.
AT Louisville, KY, news has reached of
the death in Mississippi of NJ ajor John R.
Throckmorton, of Louisville, man of leis-
ure and of style, a bachelor of sixty five, a
famous beau of quarter of century ago,
and the lover of the beautiful Sallie Ward
at the time when the bewitching Southern
girl captured the son Of the Puritan Geven-
or Lawrence, of Massachusetts. When the
young bride went to her New England home
Throckmorton followed. It is asserted
that jealousy of Throckmorton, which Mrs.
Lawrence was too proud to resent by ex-
PLANTATION, was in reality the cause which
led to the separation of Lawrence and his
wife. Sallie Ward came back to her faith
ers house, and divorce was granted Law
renee on the ground of desertion. The
lady gave no explanation. Throckmor-
ton still lowered around devotedly,
but was not rewarded by the
ladys hand. She married DR.. Hunt, and
after his death became the wife of wealthy
pork man named Armstrong. When this
gentleman died, it was rumored that at last
Major Throckmorton was to be blessed for
his lifetime devotion, but the handsome
widow drives about in the finest private
turnout the city affords. and has paid no
more attention to the addresses of the ma.
ior than in the days of her girlhood. The
beauty ofthe Kentucky belle, Sallie Ward,
made her fame worlu- wide, and the per-
sistency with which the major followed
her gave him certain interest in the ewes
of the multitude, but it was another woman
that held him up to the gaze ofmankind, a
woman who shadoWed him more constantly
than he haunted the path of the famous
belle.
Throckmorton was pleasing and friyol-
GUS man of the world when he first met the
schoolgirl Ellen Goodwin. He was about
family was at least the equal of his, and to
an older sister he had been paying attention.
He deliberately set to work to feign love
and to gain her heart. Having gained it,
he threw it aside without con Germ and went
his way.
Soon after yelled figure appeared on the
streets of Louisyille-a girlisn form that
moved silently after the man wherever he
went. She never spoke to him, neither up
braided or reviled. When he entered the
hotel she stood at, the door; when he
emerged from his club house she was wait

was at his SIDE, phantom like. He iocular-
ly spoke of her to his friends as his 1Hell's
Delight"
Ten years passed. Her old friends de-
cided her crazy for keeping the, thing up.

vehemently opposed by people who claimst)
have reliable and complete information
These claim there is no good winter wheat;
that the California crop will be 1000, 600 tons
short; that in the older localities there is
a great decrease in acreage of spring wheat,
and the fight among railroads for freight
shows the actual condition of things to be
very bad. There is no clear way out of these
meshes of contradiction, and it only re-
mains TO consider facts Wheat was rather
weaker the entire week, and closes pretty
active, but lower than last week. Corn re-
mains firm, and, like oats, standing up
well under heavy receipts. Provisions have
gradually firmed up without any very great
activity or demand. New samples OF wheat
have been received from Texas and
will be coming in soon from the southern
part of Illinois. Sales for the July option
this week have been made as follows:

receipts over shipments, the aggregate of
gain during the five days being, receipts,
S3,6I5,000 bushels; shipments. 2,754,0OO.
The increased receipts over last year are
quite marked, but are chiefly in corn, oats

Fears are entertained in many quarters
that the immigration now going on will be
greater than the country can adv~antageously
absorb. This may be so, but, so tar as many
of the immigrants are concerned, it may be
borne in mind that even if they have a hard
time, it would not be as hard as they would,
in all likelihood, have had at home, and
their departure gives a better chance to
those they leave behind them.

Two Holsters killed by a vicious Horse.


NEW YORK, June 19.-Thomas ]. Rankin,
of this city about six weeks ago bought a
sorrel gelding about six years ofage from Mr..
Rully. who brought a number of horses
from Kentucky. The animal was kept in
the training stable, and was trained for the
saddle. Ryan rode the horse daily in een-
trail Park and found him gentle yet quite
spirited. 1t was SO docile in the stall that
Mrs. Ryan and chirdren petted it. Yester-
day the horse was removed to another stall,
and in the evening, during the absence of
James Murray, the groom, Richard Johnson
a colOred groom at the stable went into the
stall occupied by the animal. Ten minutes
later the other groom heard a cry for help
and found Johnson insensible on the floor
and the horse trembling violently. John
son was removed and soon died. The horse
was allowed to stand in the stall all night
unfed. This morning Murray went to feed
the horse, and the horse did not stir until
hurry had nearly reached his head, when
the animal brought one hind foot forward
and kicked the groom on the leg knock
ing him face downward and then jumped
on him furiously with his fore feet striking
him ON the head. Other persons rushed
into the stall and dragged the man out by
the legs. The horse meanwhile struck out
with his ~forefeet as If determined to kill
him. Murray suffered a compound fracture
of the skull and will probably die. The
horse has been placed under the care of a
veterinary surgeon with instructions TO kill
the animal if thought best.

Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE past week has been
better for growing crops than for activity in
the general markets. and orders from outside
the city are coming in too slow TO suit job
bers. There is, however, no weakening in
prices, and dealers say the quietness is only
temporary, and that even now trade is brisk
er than in former years. The clearings show
this, for they gain week by week. Thirty
nine million dollars have been through the
Clearing House this week Saturday esti-
matedl. Eastern exchange j svery weak, being
seventy-five cents discount. Money is fairly
loanable at good rates. Dry goods are firm
in price, and groceries are strong, with an
upward tendency. Fruits are very active,
with demand keeping even pace with the
supply. Dairy products are very firm for the
time of year, eggs being fifteen cents per
dozen. Hardware is rather inclined TO weak
ness, but is active. On Change there is a
fair activity, but no great excitement. 1t
seems to be the policy of a large majority
of the operators to await the Developments
of the season. So many conflicting stories
are ahoat as to the quality and quantity and
prospects of the growing crops that
1t is almost impossible to sepa-
rate the true from the bogus. 1t is
said, on the ono hand, that the Mccormick
harvester agents have, according TO their
annual practice, gathered reports from all
over the country. They do this for purely
business reasons, and without any motive
of prejudice. The result OF this inquiry is,
that they will make 5000 reapers this year,
against q, 600 last year. Their reports show
that the winter wheat crop in Southern Hi
nois will be only from so to 50 per cent. of
a crop. In parts of Indiana there will be
not over half a crop. As to spring wheat,
there was a tremendous breadth sOwn all
over Northern Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Dakota, and a large increase in the latter two
divisions. The reports represent the crop
universally in splendid condition, and say,
unless something unexpected occurs, 1t will
be the biggest crop of spring wheat ever
seen IN the country. The indications are,
according to this report. that the winter
wheat will show a decrease of 40 to so per
cent. The other crops seem TO be in excel
len condition, particularly grass. In the
other hand this roseate view OF the crops is

Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, June 17.-With the excep-
ton OF q severe and destructive hail-stOrm,
which, however. was not of an extensive
area, the weather this week has been favor
able and there is nothing TO warrant a less
hopeful view of the crop prospects than OBJ
tanned a week ago. In Kentucky an early
harvest is in prospect, and wheat will soon
be ready for the reaper through this portion
of the country. Corn is far behind its
usual state of advancement at this time
of the year. Hay promises well, and
oats are making a good showing. Banks
report no material change in the situation.
The supply of loanable funds still continues
in excess ofdemand, and the rates of discount
continue at 4 to 6 per cent the latter is an
exceptional rate. The volume of business
has beensfair, though demands of merchants
and manufacturers have been light. In gro
ceries trade has been only moderate, but
still rather brisker than usual at this time of
the year. The smart advance in sugar has
been the feature of the week. Dry goods
continue without marked animation, and
the same may be said of the clothing trade,
though both are anticipating brisker trade
in the near future.
Boots and shoes, while not marked as last
week by exceptional large sales, have been
fairly active. and feOtingS for June so far
make very satisfactory showing. Iron
is in = peculiar condition, nail work,
owing to strike. being out of the market in
other lines. The tendency of buyers is to
hold off for lower prices. The effect of two
causes is to make an inactive market.
In breadstuffs the week closes with a
marked advance and strong market.
Wheat sells at $1.20 for No.. 2 red, winter,
and family hour has advanced to $3.50 and
$3.50. This is partly owing to local
scarcity. Corn, which fell in the early part
of the week, has recovered, but oats and rye
continue dull. Barley is practically out of
the market. Whisky has remained steady
during the week at $1.06. Provisions have
been quiet until the past two days, when
Stock is much reduced, and large sales of
clear rib to-day tended to strengthen the
market
