THE LIGHTS O LONDON.

The way was long and weary,
But gallantly they strobe,
country lad and lassie
Along the heavy road.
The night dark and stormy,
But blithe of heart were they,
For shining IN the distance
The Lights of London lay!
q cleaning lamps of London, that gem the City's
crown,
What fortunes lie within you, o Lights of London
Town.
With faces worn and weary,
That told of sorrows load,
One day man and woman
Crept down a country road.
They sought then native village,
Geart-broken from the fray;
Yet shining still behind them
The Lights of London lay.
o cruel lamps of London. if tears your light could
drown,
Your victims eyes would weep them, Lights of
London Town.

ENGLISH GRAIN.

Review of the Week by the Mark Lane
Express.
LONDON, Dec. 25.-The Mark Lane Er-
press. in its review of the grain trade of the
week, says All the autumn sown crops are
very healthy. The farmers wheats have come
to hand in very bad order the past few weeks,
thus increasing the difficulty of sale. The de-
mand for breadstuffs is small and the trade re-
stricted. Native grain unchanged. There is no
fresh feature in foreign breadstuffs. Low grades
of Indian and Russian wheat are mostly
cheaper. American grain in some provincial
exchanges is cheaper than last week. Trade
everywhere is quite Of retail character. Off
coast trade closed quiet but tolerably steady.
Red winter touched SIS during the week.
The best bid yesterday was 53s Cd. California
and New Zealand wheat received little atten.
ton. There are now eight cargoes on sale,
seven having been withdrawn.

Hungry Point.

Long before the advent of the new set
tiers our mails arrived with great irregu-
larity, and this continued until a contract
was awarded, and Col. A., of this city,
became general manager He at once
procured good serviceable horses and
first class rolling stock, and inaugurated
new era of regularity in the arrival and
departure of the mails. 1t is said that
the settlers along the route from st. Paul
to La Crosse were in the habit of regu-
lating their clocks and watches by the
movement of the stages, after Col A.
took charge of them. He was kind and
courteous gentleman, and made hosts of
friends along the line and among the
passengers, who were kept in constant
roar by the witty stories of the genial
colonel No line of stages could be sue
cessfully run without places at which the
horses could be fed and the passengers
receive some nourishment for their
wearied and jaded bodies. One of the
eating stations on the route was known
as Hungry Point" possibly because
there never was at that place
any human, or other being, which
was not hungry, as the scant bill
of fare and the rough, coarse way in
which the articles were prepared, rem
dered it impossible for any man to ap-
pease his appetite, and hence passengers
arrived and departed hungry. The
mana ger of the eating house at Hungry
| Point was woman who stood five feet
eleven inches In her stockings, with an
arm as large as the leg of
an ordinary man, and possessed
of a deep, sonorous voice, every
articulation of which seemed to come
| from some point in the region of her
belt, and, with an eve that indicated de-
| termination and blood, if crossed in her
ways He husband had been taught to
merge his opinion in hers, and, when she
spoke, he obeyed with promptness and
without any delay whatever.
1t was the custom of Col. A. to run
down the line on the last Of the month to
settle with the station house keepers
for the feed furnished during the
month to his employees and
to his stock. At Hun CRY Point
he called for his bill, which was pre-
sented, duly itemized, but the lady de-
manded bonus of $50. The colonel
protested-said he was willing to pay all
She could reasonably charge and it would
be unjust to pay her more. Shifting heI
position so as to get between the colone
and the door, she drew from under hel
apron long carving knife, abont eigh.
teen inches in length, and renewed bel
demand.

ness. She alleged that under promise of mar
rage, the old, old story, the amorous Seeliger
mad lead her from the straight and narrow
path OF virtue into that of sin, shame and dis
grace: Seeliger, sworn in his own defense,
denied that he had promised to marry the girl,
and also maintained that rather than his Sc
duclng the girl, he himself had fallen dupe
to her bewitching Vaccinations He then
told his story in detail-how she came to his
room, etc.
The young mans father was placed upon
the stand and cOrroborated the assertion Of
the girl, that the couple had been en-
gagged and that the wedding, accord
ing to agreement should occur on
Christmas day Qo-day). The judge finally
dismissed the case upon tbs prom Sc of Sell.

numbered by sundry mortgages, installments
of each of which were overdue and unpaid.
He conveyed the same to r., being at the
time of the conveyance nsolvent, as X. had
notice. The deed of conveyance was absolute
but the real agreement between OIL. and +.
was that the latter should assume and pay OIL
all the mortgages and the taxes, dispose OF
the land and ray over to OIL any surplus re-
naming after the membranes were salts
fed OILS object and intent in making the
conveyance was to shield any surplus over
and above the membranes from his credit
ors and save it for himself, and of this K. had
notice. Upon receiving the conveyance r,
went into immediate possession Of the prem
ises and SO continues and he has paid
off the taxes and some OF the mort
cages in full, delivering up to OIL. the
notes secured thereby, as also note secured
by another mortgage. Of the $50 acres OF land
one eighty was OILS homestead at the time
of the conveyance, upon which he and his fam
lily resided, and as such it was exempt from
execution.

Also, that SAID eighty is as much protected

it was in the hands of OIL. before the convey
ance.
Held, further, that to make adebtor's trans
fer of property fraudulent as respects his cred
itors, there must be an intent to defraud
express or implied, and an act which, if allowed
to stand. will actually defraud them by him
dering, d-laying or preventing the collection
of their claims. The fact that the debtor mis-
takenly supposes or hopes that in conveying
his incumbered property he has secretly COW
cred up and saved something for himself from
which he designs and endeavors to exclude his
creditors does not necessarily make his con-
veyance fraudulent. If, Notwithstanding his
hopes, supposltions and intent, it is beyond
question that the membranes exceed the
value of the property, so that there is in fact
nothing left for him 10 cover up and save, and
nothing from which to exclude his creditors,
they are not injured or defrauded, and there
fore cannot have the conveyance set aside.
Judgment reversed, and a new trial directed.

Another lady friend tells me that she

the thought of suicide by its use; and yet
another tells me a coil of rope has the

say that these cases come partly from the
effect of reading of suicides by such meth

Rooms in hotels and certain buildings
have such reputation. One sleeping
car on the Union Pacific railroad was
called the hearse by the employees, be-
cause so many deaths occurred in it.
