CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-The speculative interest
here has been centered in provisions to-day,
that market breaking badly on a report that
the French government prohibits the importa-
ton of American meats. The circus COM
menced at the opening under a strong pressure
to realize, and with little support to the
market, prices declined on the run, April pork
closing on Change at SIS and lard at $l0.10.
On the curb this afternoon sales of pork have
been made as low as S14.70, but closing at
Sl4.9O; and April lard s10.07N. Lard has
held its own better than pork but its friends
must support the market Monday. We will
have increased receipts of hogs next week.
The grain market was dull and lower, in SYM
pathy with foreign advices and closing at 81 Z C
for April wheat and II &c for May. In corn,
there are but few outside orders and no new
features worthy of note. The feeling here is
towards lower prices.

Why He Changed His Mind.

Captain McKaig gets. off the following
story as of actual occurrence: A broth of boy ="
died on the Hill and Mr.. Moriarty dressed himself
In his best and went to view the corroupse." He
had a new shiny, black beaver seventeenth Of
March hat bought last St. Patrick's Day. Entering
the abode of sorrow, he held the glossy tile care
fully before him. crossed the floor, and deposited
it with great care upon chair at the head of the
coffin. Then, wringing his hands mournfully, he
turned TO the weeping mother saying: "Shure,
Mrs Maloney, ids great loss ye hev been til. I'm
full Of dhe sorrow for yez but dhe Lords will be
dune" Then, turning to the corpse, Mr.. Moriarty
delivered himself thus: "Och, purity bye

be found that huge woman was sitting rocking
and weeping in the chair where he had deposited
his precious plug hat. Speaking in a sweet low
voice, he inquired: Have yez seen me hat?" No
one replied. little louder, Have any iv yez
seen me new hat?" No reply. With still greater
voice, Fwhere is me new high hat" The big
woman reached around under her and pulled out
@ concertina- looking concern made of black bea-
yer, and tearfully remarked: as dhis yer hat Mr..
Moriarty?' He reared himself up; he jammed
his fist into the wrecked beaver in a vain attempt
to straighten it out; he gazed upon the corpse and
shouted: "Yis dhats me hat, and id be dhe

A Remarkable Confession.

Last Friday two small boys were de-
tected in Hartford in the act of stealing internal
revenue stamps of the denomination Of twenty
five cents each from beer kegs, and their detection
has resulted in the probable discovery of the
for the enormous deficiencies in the accounts
of that department of the Government which have
existed for long time. The boys, when questioned
after their arrest stated that they stole the stamps
because their teachers in Roman Catholic
Brothers school gave them extra credits for all
they brought to them. 4 teacher confessed that
the story told by the boys true, and said that
the stamps were sent TO France, where they
were sold for the support of Roman Catholic
orphan asylum. He surrendered about $3.50
worth Of the stamps and said that the
Brothers in other cities were employed in
the collection in the same way and for
the same purpose. The stamps are so placed on
liquor and beer barrels that the act of tapping the
barrels cancels them, but until the vessel is opened
they are in such condition that they can be re-
moved and used again in distilleries and brewer
les, and consequently can be sold for but small
percentage off their face value to manufacturers of
liquors, who are willing to indorse such dishon-
esty if profitable without being dangerous to them
selves
