The Market.
MONDAY EVENING, June 10, 1882.

MONDAY EVENING, June 10, 1882.
The terrific storm that passed over this
| section last Saturday done an incalculable
amount of damage to farmers, leveling
fences wheat fields, out-houses and trees in
its course. The outlook for corn and wheat
had been excellent, but the present feeling
with large part of our agricultural neigh
bors in Illinois is one of extreme dis
couragement. The adjacent country in
Missouri and Kentucky escaped with little,
if any damage.
The market in general is somewhat un-
settled aud break may occur at any
moment.
FLOUR-Choice and fancy grades are
scarce and prices are stiff. The call for low
grades is limited.
HAY-Receipts are light, aud we note
some demand for choice but a small guam
tity would stock the market.
CORN-Mixed is plenty and dull White
is in light supply and good request at
quotations.
OATS-The market is weak and unset
tied, in sympathy with the New Orleans
market, which has broken owing to the
surplus.
MEAL-Steady and firm, with fair dc,
mand at quotations.
BRAN-Plenty and quiet.
BUTTER Overstocked and dull. The
demand is small.
EGGS Fresh receipts find ready sale at
lac.
CHICKENS-Young chickens are com.
ing in, and, if choice, sell readily q $500
@$2.50.
FRUIT-Small fruits of all kinds find
ready sale at quotations.

Retained Editors.
Boston Herald I

The retaining of a leader writer on a
great London journal, such as the
Times, the Telegraph, or the News, is q
peculiar feature in English joui'nalism.
II writer shows marked evidences of
merit, or if he has the ability to write
extensively and IN graphic manner
on some special class or topic, he is re-
tanned, as it is termed; that is, he is
paid stipulated amount each year.
With the papers referred to, this is COM
monty El,000 (S5,000). In receiving a
retainer he binds himself not to write
for any other publication on the topics
for the treatment of which his employer
has engaged him In his leisure hours
he can. write on other subjects as much
as he pleases, but the implied under
standing is that he must keep himself
thoroughly informed on every phase Of
the particular question the Times or the
News wishes him to write upon, and
must be in readiness whenever called
upon to furnish an editorial leader It
may happen that weeks and even
months will pass by and no call will be
made for his services, and at another
time his pen viii every day be in de-
mand. His retainer is not given to pay
him for what he writes, but simply 10
reward him for keeping himself thor
oughly informed, and to secure, when
needed, the command of his services.
For the actual writing he does for the
paper TO which he is attached he re-
ceives additional pay The London
Times pays for It's first, or leading edi-
torial article. $50, and S25 each for the
following articles In the Times office
il is sometimes the case, on an import
ant subject, that two and exen three
leader writer's are asked to cover tire
same ground. and il has frequently
happened that The article. when it APP
pears, IS formed on Of the contributions
OF an three sSilfully devastated To-
getaer by the revising editor who has
selected the best and most striking por-
fou> Of each article submitted to him
When this is done each writer is paid
precisely Is though his leader had been
printed in rs entirety. Hence the cost

Joshua T, Speed was one Of Lincoln s
Oldest and most confidential friends In
his Younger days. and; their friendship
continued through ali trials. b 7 After the
equalization Of General A. Lees army,
Speed came from his home In Louisville,
KY, to visit Mr.. Lincoln. and, while IN
Washington was Invited toRn, informal
meeting Of the cabinet The question
of the disposition of Jefferson Davis and
other, prominent ConfederateS after they
should be captured was discussed, each
member of the cabinet giving his opin-
ion. most OF, them for, hanging the
traitors, or some severe punishment,
Lincoln said nothing. = Finally Mr..
Speed, addressing the President, said:
Nov, Mr. Lincoln, ! you have invited
me here, and this, seems, to. be a free
fight, + ! have heard the opinion of your
ministers and would like. to hear
yours. "Well, josh, replied Lincoln,
that reminds me. Of a story. When i
was "a boy, in Indiana i went to a
neighbor' s, house one. morning and
found a boy Of my own size, holding a
coon by q string, | asked him what he
had ,and what, he was doing. He says:
IT, is a, coootaE..s Dad cotcHed' Six last
night, and killed al. hut his poor little
clss. Dad told me. to hold him until
he came back, and I'm; afraid he's going
o,KiH this, oneftoo5T And oh, Abe. I
do wish, he would get away, We'll,
why donFt. YOU let him loosep' That
would, not be- right, and, if | let him
60, dad would give me hel1;- but, if he
would get away himself, il would be all
right. Now" said Mr.. Lincoln, !. If
Jeff Davis and those other fellows will
only get away, ii. win be all right, but
If we should catch them. and | should
let them 90. dad would give me hell"

The Hog Law.
RAYMoNp. june IA. IS.

RAYMOND June IA, 1882.
EDITORS CLARION As was a Confed-
crate soldier, and have an interest in the
South, and more especially in the grand old
State of Mississippi, I feel it my duty to
say something about the ''Hog Law" that
was passed by the late Legislature.
Now must say that think that it was
a death blow on every poor man in the
county. They say the South will never be
anything unless they make their own meat
and bread at home. Well now Mr.. Editors
this law was passed so late in the season
how can the poor man prepare his pens
for his hogs and another thing, some Of
these poor men have no place to put their
pens if that law had have been enacted in
January. No, | think the last Legislature
had very little to do, and they thought that
they would try to make Mississippi another
Ireland, and the poor man can sing:
OH have you heard what's going the round
Mississippi's wise men have forbidden,
Meat to be raised on her ground.
England forbid the shamrock to be raised
on Ireland ground, but poor old proud
Mississippi, has by her last Legislature for
bid every poor man from raising pig He
is forbidden to let his hogs run in
an acorn grove wEere cows and horses run,
but Messrs. Editors can poor man live on
one COW Of course he cannot picket a
horse or live on him either, but could he
not raise lot of hogs, say five, and let them
run at large The farmers will always keep
up their fences anyhow, but there are some
that will take up the poor mans hogs just
to make little money to buy whisky.
Now Messrs Editors if you think this
worthy of publication l would like to let it
come before my friends.
Respectfully,
SECOND DISTRICT.
