WILDE'S WEAKNESS.
As Bland as a Summer Morning he Takes I'm tn
Cliff IIouSe Habifues.

While Capt. Foster was swapping lies
with Ned Fry, out at the Cliff house, Sa1
Francisco, last week, Oscar drove up
with Mr. Lock, and, taking a stained
glass attitude on the balcony, was for
some minutes lost in contemplation OF
the grand old ocean breaking on the
cliffs far down below him.
''How grand the roar of the ocean,
he said dreamily to the captain.
The captain was little taken back,
but agreed that it was.
Would any price be too great for the
glory of watching hour by hour, and
dav by day, through the placid wayeless
DAYS Of summer and the grand turbu-
lence of the wintry gale?"
Fifty MONTH" said the captain,
who, while Oscar sighed unheeded,
asked Fry what kind of a canary bird it
was, anyhow.
After time they went to the bar,
where Oscar ordered "some milk,
fresh from natures odorous laboratory, y
while the others took little lemon in
theirs Then Fry and the captain and
another gentleman sat down to play
"dOllar ante. "
'.What eeze dollar antem said Oscar,
dreamily in mezzo-soprano sigh.
They explained.
II TOO, viii fill in the passing day, if
/ may
OF course and they gave him a
seat and chuckled way down in their
bronchial tubes.
A great sadness was upon him. Some
times an unutterable melancholy would
dIl with dark shadows his dreaming
Dyes, but he said lfttlc-onl sighed. 3
Capt. Foster did not sigh Several
times he might have been heard to saw
something about dynamite.
Mr. Fry was also a little melancholy,
but talked in different strain, several
times saying, limpidly, the luck"
By and By it was Oscar deal, and he
caressed the cards gently and distribut-
cd them mourntully, like crumbs at
communion.
Everybody went in. The captain
took two cards. Fry took one and Oscar
one.
Il will contribute five spot, said
the captain, locating a five-dollar piece
III the center Of the green.
1t will cost you five more re-
marked Mr.. Fry disseminating a ten.
"Beshrcw me, but | am oppressed
with doubt" murmurcd Oscar. Gould
| but penetrate the dark veil of the fu-
ture-but no; nay, then will risk all, y
and ho doubtfully and sadly put his por.
ton.
Ten harder" said the captain.
Ten more than you,n remarked Fry.
Oscar knitted his brow. Verify |
am in the vortex, and the o ershadowing
sky is murky, but l must stay. / will
how do you phrase it-call, call on
YOU"
And the captain joined the merry
throng
Three aces, said he.
Full hand, said Fry proudly, rs he
showed his cards and reached for the
money
"Too-too," the poet murmured as he
almost wecpingly laid down four
deuces.
And when the captain had flung his
cards ont of the window and Fry was
making the air blue with interjections,
Oscar winked his eye audibly, and re-
marked in his natural frame of mind

tremens. When Pattison, the African
missionary, exposed himself to storm
and tempest for years in preaching
Christ, he doubtless won a heavenly
crown, but he was racked no less with
neuralgia and deyoured with fever.
Gods mercy is infinite in dealing with

The August Corner in Wheat.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-President Dunham and Secretary Randolph of the board of trade j; George M. Cow, Josiah Preston, J. R. Bens- by, J. B. Hobbs Archie Fisher and Mir Hunt of Hunt, Seymour & Co.,, of the board of trade Elias Colbert and Guy Magee, of the IaT641oe, and L. H. Bisbay were before the grand jury to-day to testify in regard to the corner in wheat last August. The investiga- ton grows out of a deal between the firm of Hunt Seymour & Go. and Joseph A. Baker, in which the latter lost $90,OOO. The whole matter is now pending in the civil courts. Hunt testified that he sold "short" 300, 900 bushels of wheat for August delivery to men ahead of the corner, but when the time came for delivery he found it impossible to buy wheat and his principals in consequence had to lose $9o,oOO. The object of the grand jury in investigating the August deal is to find out if the men who managed it can be brought within the range of the criminal statute against architects of corners.

The Union Generaie's Collapse.
 PARIS, Jan. 30.-A combination of leading bankers having been formed shortly after the announcement of the failure of the Union Generale bank for the purpose of maintain ing the markets at the Paris Bourse and Pe- tite Bourse governments closed steady at both bourses but speculative shares were weaker, showing 0 marked decline from Sat urday's closing prices. At the Vienna and Berlin bourses in the last hour the market steadied under the reported calm at Paris. Several leading financiers late this evening express the opinion that it is very doubtful whether the combination of bankers men toned above will succeed in checking the panic, and the reason is that the Union Gen erale's bourse liabilities will be found very large and that the feeling of insecurity en- gendered by it's failure will cause the deposit ors of other banks to draw heavily upon their resources, in which case large numbers of shares of stock will have to be placed on the market, making the burst of panic in- evitable. The deposits of the Union Gener- ale are reported at four million pounds ster- ling and the shareholders include the Pope and number of leading Catholic orders and the aristocracy generally.
