Uncle Rufus" Among the Grain
Spectators

1t is about six months since a wei. known
stock and produce operator announced to his
friends and customers that he had become
tired of fighting Gould, Vanderbilt, keene,
Sage and Others, had accumulated a "kingly"
! fortune, a had determined to retire from
| the speculative field at once. This announce
ment was followed by the selling of his seat
large block Of Iron Steamboat Company's
stock, his contest against the Western Union
consolidation, his defeat in the courts, and
his trip to bermuda for recreation. Nearly
everybody believed that this speculater really
intended to be "a man of leisure" in the
future; and when he suddenly appeared on
the floor Of the Produce Exchange yesterday,
,ust as the 'call on corn" opened, his face
te ming with smiles, his coat thrown open
exposing the indispensable white waistcCat,
looking not unlike Texan ranger with bis
broad-brimmed white felt hat, he received
the usual hilarious greeting which Rufus
Hatch is so well accustomed to. As each of
his acquaintances shook him by the hand,
Mr.. Hatch smacked his lips as much as to
say, 81 have something sweet in store for
YOU" A large nu" Der had understood that
he had peculiar views a. to the market, and
that he advised "people who have money to
place it in the bank" Mr.. Hatch was not
inclined to be offended at the sarcasms or the
broad jokes with which he was greeted, but
seemed rather to take them good nat,lredly
as compliments.
When "ioeptember opton' was called Mr..
Hatch stood blandly by. and kept close watch
on the bidders. The nominal price was go
cents, but when the bids reached 59s Mr..
Hatch nodded to the call clerk TO sell. The
members then nudged each other and re-
marked, "Now we'll see whom he's selling
for" The call-clerk asked, ''What's the
name ?'' MIR. Hatch responded in stem
torian voice, "Rufls Hatch" This caused
little commotion aud surprise. As the call
proceeded, Mr.. Hatch continued to sell until
he had actually sold 2SS,O00 bushels of the
total transactions of the call, which amount
ed to AS, 900 bushels. He sold so freely that
the market declined from one fourth to three
eighths of a cat a bushel, and the general
inquiry was, 81 wonder what that bear is
up top The response was, "Oh, he's selling
short to enforce his theory that grain must
be lower to compare with low freights." Mr..
hatch left the floor finally, his countenance
beaming with apparent satisfaction that he
had "tooled the boys again. The facts are
that he had sold actual property and had
made between $4,000 and $4,000 on the turn.
The trading was the heaviest known in 'Sep-
;ember options" for many months.-N. y.

The Careless Use of Ice.

1t is only in this country that ice enters so
largely into the apparent comfort of It's nhab-
itants, and very dangerous custom it is.
Dyspepsia and number of other evils follow
directly ia the train # the consumption of
ice. TO the great pitchers of iced water so
tenptingly displayed on hot days may be
traced a number of maadies, for it is evident
| tlist no person can without danger suddenly
aud violently lower the temperature of his
stomach by filling it full of water at 32 deg
Fahrenheit. That valuable organ will GER
tainly resent the insult, especially if followed
up by repeated injuries of the same kind In
the tropics, where the use of ice has more
temptations surrouning it than in any part of
the world, the inhabitants most carefully
avoid it. You cannot get Cuban to indulge
| in iced water. People who have been pre-
vously addicted to the habit of using ice
will, after visiting the West Indies, forever
eschew the dangerous practice. A party of
men who recently visited San Domingo on
business (who would go there for any other
reason?) on the first arrival incurred greatly
at the absence OF ice. "-Ah!' said they,
''when the FngliSh steamer runs III here we
will go aboard and have treat in the shape
of good iced brandy and soda" The steam
er arrived in due time. The ardent foreign
ers jumped into the boat of the captain of the
port, negro gorgeously arrayed in uniform
covered with gold lace, and, barely saluting
the captain, rushed 10 the saloon Tor The COW
eted refresiment. 1t was duly absorbed aud
the whole party were rendered i'll in cnnsc.
quence. None Of them have ever touched
ice since that time. In the West Indies 1t is
only the cololed race who patrol ize ce--to
the white people it is only no luxury, but a
dangerous enemy. Ice has its use; in the
hospitals it is invaluable; for the preserva-
ton of provisions, especially fish, il is useful,
although detrimental to flavor, il allowed to
touch meats to be preserved, but as all article
of human consumption it should be avoided.
There is yet an essay to be written upon the
Inaladies and woes produced by the careless
use of ice. 1t is only with us that this takes
place. Abroad, ice is simply luxury only
resortei to at times even in California the
residents are wary of it. In short, ice is a
very good friend in moderation, but rabtte
enemy when the intimacy is too absorbing.

SON.

1he last gleam of day was silvering the
waters of the Guadalquiver, at the mouth of
which stands the ancient city of Valencia, as
the congregation was slowly departing from
the cathedral Of Cecillus. Amocg the last
worshlpers was young female closely
shrouded in a mantilla. In her hand she car
ried fan of most excellent workmanship:
behind her hohbled All old duenna, who with
difficulty kept pace with the tripping feet of
Donna Isabella, for such was the name of the
maiden. Close by her side walked noble
cavalier, whose deep, dark eye was liyeted
upon her, while ever and anon slances of
recognition were exchanged between them,
till at length the suspicious of the old lady
were aroused, who, seizing the arm of her
young charge, quilted not until they had
reached mansion in the neiglborhood of the
ever verdant Glorietla.
Just as Donna Isabella was ascending the
strps leading to her mansion, she let her fan
drop as il by accident. The opportunity was
at once seized by the gay cavalier, who, lift.
ing it, unseen by the duenna, slipped within
its 'olds billet, and kneelng, presented it to
the blushing damsel.
"You will not fail to meet me as the note
derstand?'

That night, when the bell OF Mqui!et
toled the midnight hour, Isabella stood in
her balcony, which overhung the garden.
A Sigh. movement was soon heard among
the orange foliage, and a tall figure, shrouded
in flowing mantle, advanced and stood be-
meath the balcony.

A SPECIAL from Columbus to the
Plain Dealer regarding the recent cleo
tion says: The result has been
brought about by defections in Demo
cratic counties. The Democratic vote
fell off shamefully where it ought to
have been increased. 1t seems that
the 'still hunt was so excessively still
that about $4,000 Democratic voters
failed to hear that an important cleo
tion was to take place, and remained
at home on election day. The total
vote will be over 100000 short, and if
the Democrats had voted as they
should have done Foster wauld have
been beaten. The 'tstill hunt" plan of
running campaign is rather in dis
favor among Democrats just now.

MUCH has been said in the papers Of
the horrible traffic in life policies 60
ing on in certain portions in Pennsyl
vania. TIE lives of old and sickly
people are insured on speculation, and
not unfrequently the physicians attend.
ing them are interested parties. The
instance of Rockwell, who died in
Wayne county recently, is one of those
given. He was l04 years old, and
blind, deaf, and demented. There
were $1,000 on his life. Five thous
and dollars of this amount went to his
physician, DR., A. G. Dlngman. A
Mrs. Mainse consented to have her in
valid husbands life insured for con.
sideratlon of $1,000, to be paid hel
after his funeral. Soon after this
agreement the notorious DR.. Dingman
called upon Mainse, examined him
physically, and left him some powders
which taking the patient grew rapidly
worse and died, The policies held or
his life aggregated $45,0OO. A lady
was not expected to live, butrecovered
and then discovered that policies
amounting to 100000 had been laic
on her life, her name being forged tt
the papers. In Carbondale anc
Scranton it is said that many respect
able people fear to employ the neigh
borbood doctors, lest they may have
pecuniary interest of this character il
killing rather than curing them. Ii
