"Draw near thine ear, l pray thee, I"

clay pipe by the fire, after having fed
the animals their evening meal and
shaken up their bedding. What
would my lord ?" replied Mrs. N,
drawing near her ear, as commanded.
Noah smoked in silence for the space
of minute or two, and then opened
his mouth and spoke as follows: 81

Reatcnby n Bible Agent.

A few days since a man made his
appearance at the residence of Joseph
Sage, of Shenango township, who rep
resented himself as Bible canvasser
He talked very smoothly and soon in
gratiated himself into the confidence of
Mr.. Sage. He said he was desirous of
establishing a local agency, and asked
Mr. Sage if he would not take hold of
the work, his commission to be one
dollar on every Bible sod After
giving all the instructions as to the
manner of selling the work, the agent
was about to leave, when he thought
it would be we'll to have Mr.. Sage's
address He pulled out piece Of pa
per and asked that gentleman to place
his signature thereon Mr. Sage did
so, and the oily-tongued Bible agent
departed. Mr.. Sage thought no
more of the matter lntil one day this
week, when he received notice that
certain parties held his note for $3.50
An investigation revealed the fact that
instead of simply giving the Bible
agent his address he had attached his
name to a note for the above sum-

Why Beef IL Away Up.

The prevailing high prices for al
kinds of meat is the subject of mucl
anxiety to house-keepers, who fear /;
meat famine. Since last fall the price;
have been slowly but gradually in
creasing, although it has only been
within the past four weeks that sudden
jumps have be,d made in the cost oil
meat, as well as of other farm produc.
tions The high prices of today, say
the more reliable among the wholesale
dealers, are not at all likely to change
this year, except that there may be a
slight and temporary reduction when
: the grass-fed cattle come in about the
uiddle of next month The reason
why was ascertained by means of a
series of calls on the principal vendors
in the wholesale trade yesterday after
noon. They are very jolly people to
talk to-these butchers.
Said one, whose opinions were en-
dorsed by $50 say we all of US" in
the fraternity: "There are several
causes for the high prices which peo-
pie have to pay for their steaks and
roasts nowadays The principal one
is the scauty grass and corn crops in
the west. A large number of cattle
died because of insufficient food and
those which survived came into the
barns light in flesh and generally in
very poor condition. There the supply
of corn was SO light that breeders were
compelled to buy at high prices, and it
cost great deal to fatten up lean
beast for market. Some herders who
had no money with which to buy corn
sent their cattle to the shambles at
very low price, thus creating waste
in the supply. The western States,
therefore, cannot keep up with the de-
mand and charge prices in proportion.
Another cause for the decreased sup
ply is found in the fact that foreign
shipments have been greater than dur
ing any previous year, and we have
left only limited quantity for home
consumption.
"What has been the percentage Of
increase in price during the past
month, for instance?"
"Well, four weeks ago we were SELL
ing good grade of fourquarters of
beef for cents per pound; to-day that
grade sells readily for 1Oa cents. Hind
quarters, which commanded IA cents
then, are sold for la now. One cause
of this discrepancy is shown in the
fact that headquarters had previously
increased so much in price that people
refused to purchase them, and there
was created large demand for fore
quarters. The price of the after part
of the critter' therefore only went up
one half a cent, but tie general average |
increase is 81 per 100 pounds.
"Dces this effect your sales Z"
II should say it did, more especial
ly as it regards beef"
How long are these prizes to be
kept up?"
"At present nobody anticipates any |
material change this year. 1t takes
four years to build an OK into proper
shape for Strengthening and it does not
seem as if the small number which |
will mature this year can make the |
slightest difference in the market.
Boarding house keepers and men of
small means have dark prospect |
ahead this summer and fall These
people generally buy round steak, be-
cause it is cheaper, and the demand for
such steak increases daily.-BoSton

A Sarcastic Letter.

! The following letter, written by
Samuel johnson to the Earl of Ches-
terfeld (who had ignored Johnson's
advances made in time of need. but
who wished to be his patron when he
found that Johnson's. Dictionary was
to immortalize the compier), is con-
sidered unequalled in English literature
for the polish of its style, the elegance
, of its language, and especially the
keenress of its sarcasm:

England and Ireland.

In the House OF Lords last Tues
day evening Earl Granville, Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, announc-
ed the resignation of Mr.. w. E. Fors-
ter, Chief Secretary for Ireland, and
the intention of the Government to re-
lease the three imprisoned members OF
Parliament Earl Granville explained
that Earl Cowper had not resigned the
Lord Lieutenancy on account of any
difference with the Government in re-
gard to their policy He confirmed
the report that Lord Carlingford would
temporarily take the Presidency of the
Council during Earl Spencer's absence
in ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone, in the House of Com
mons, made an announcement similar
to that of Earl Granville in the House
of Lords Mr.. Gladstone stated that
a large number of other suspects would
be released, and that the Government,
instead of renewing the Coercion acts
would introduce measure remedying
the administration of justice in Ireland.
He said that instructions had already
been sent to Ireland for the release of
the three imprisoned members of Par
lament, and that the lists of suspects
were being carefully considered with a
view to the release of all, except those
who were arrested on suspicion OF hav-
ing been personally concerned in out
RACES. These releases would be on the
Governments sole responsibility Mr..
Gladstone stated that Mr.. Forster had
resigned because he was not willing to
share this responsibility, and that Mr.
Forster would make personal explain
alton on Thursday.
Mr.. Gladstone declared that none of
the measures announced in the Queens
speech at the opening of the session
except the resolutions in regard to the
rules of parliamentary procedure
would be allowed to stand in the way
of the measures which the Government
would introduce for restoring peace
and order in Ireland.
The London Times in its leader
says the policy now to be tried in Ire
land is one of concession and concilia-
ton, pure and simple.
In the House of Commons on Thurs
dav, Mr.. Forster stated the reasons OF
his withdrawal from the office of Secre.
tary for Ireland. He said that in view
of the great difficulty experienced in
the affairs of Ireland he would have
preferred, so far as he personally was
concerned to say nothing. He con
frmed the report that there was a diff
ference between himself and the rest
J of the Cabinet in regard to the release
of the suspects, which release he con
demned. The Coercion act, he said
had broken up the League, or put il
under petticoats, and rents were being
better paid, but he feared that an un
conditional release would undo all the
good effects of the act Mr. Forster
in justifying the arrest of Mr.. Parnell
said that Mr. Parnell, if he had beer
allowed, would have become the un
crowned King of Ireland.
