"Very well, | suppose tomorrow

Soon after breakfast Mrs. Newton
called on Squire Bent, the owner of
the new block, aud intimated her de.
sire to be shown the corner house.
Her request was readily complied with.
Mrs. Newton was quite delighted with
all the arrangements, and expressed
her satisfaction.
"Are these houses for sale or to lett

eyes, consider the corner house
worth at least twenty-five dollars more
than the rest"
"And what do you charge for the
house for cash purchaser" asked Mrs
Newton with subdued eagerness.
-Four thousand dollars" was the
reply, "and that is but a small ad,
vance on the cost"
Very well, l will buy it of you"
added Mrs. Newton, quietly.
"What did understand you to say?"
asked the squire, scarcely believing
his own ears.
81 repeat that | will buy this house
at your own price, and pay the money
within a week"
Then the house is yours. But your
husband did not say anything of his in

THAT he has any money to invest,
| suppose you would say. Neither
does he know it, and | must ask you
not TO tell him at present"
The next morning Mrs. Newton in
vited her husband to take a walk, but
without specifying the direction. They
soon stood in front of the house III
which he desired her to live
Wouldn't you like to 60 in?" she
asked.
"Yes. It's pity we haven't the
key"
Il have the key" said his wife, and
forthwith she walked up the steps anC
proceeded to open the door.
when did you get the key O
Squire Bent?" asked her husband.
Yesterday, when l bought the

Mr.. Newton gazed on his wife il
profound astonishment.
"What do you mean?"
"Just what | say-this house il

"Where, in the name of goodness
did you raise the money!" asked he
husband, in amazement as great a
ever.

years for nothing" said Mrs. Newton
smiling.
With some difficulty Mrs. Newtol
persuaded her husband that the pric
of the house was really the result o
her savings. He felt, when he sui
veyed the commOdious arrangements o
the house, that he had reason to b
grateful for the prudence of his mans

The Egyptian Cotton CROP.
Alexandria, Egypt, Letter.


1t Is always a difficult matter TO obtain
reliable information about the prospects of
the Egyptisn cotton crop, but the difficulty
this year is greatly increased tY the present
extraordinary circumstances. Communi-
cations between Alexandria and the cotton
region is entirely suspended, and all Euro
peans have left the interior. According to
information l was nevertheless able to
gather, the cotton plant, though backward,
was not in unfavoTable condition by the
middle Of last month. Since then we have
had some news OF a more serious nature:
two ginning works have been DESTROYED
and It is only too probable that others
will share the same fate. Then the military
party have taken possession OF all Goals thev
could get hold of, consequently the pump
ing stations ceased working and artificial
irrigation came to an end. However, as the
Nile continues to rise irrigation will prob
ably be possible very shortly without the
accessory Of steam; but there Is no doubt
that meantime the plants, through lack of
moisture during the hottest period of the
year, have considerably suffered. The view
take is that even under the most favorable
circumstances Egyptian cotton of the new
crop win not arrive in Europe before the
end OF November, and possibly much later.

cfGI
Sherman A. Kicker, the corn king who
died on Sunday, leaves an estate worth 81
100000. The deceased was an erratic, but
interesting, character. He has had his ups
and downs In the market. Only a few
years ago he was so distressed for money
that, 1t is said, friendly packers had to lend
him their support to keep him from sue
cumbing, but Of late he has been so rich
and so lucky, that his movements have con-
trolled the actions of hundreds OF specula-
tors half decade ago a good deal richer
than the Corn King. A few years ago he
married sewing woman at the Sherman
House. So devoted was he to her that after
her death be became despondent and some
what reckless in his habits. He became
very heavy drinker. Liquor, 1t is said
however, never suffused his brain.
A story which is we'll vouched for relates
how Kicker and J. B. Lyon, who once upon
a time was himself yclept "King of the Corn
Pit" crossed lances In this little arena
Corn was selling at 45 cents, and in those
days Kicker was a bull and Lyon bear
The former was drunk. when the latter
came up and offered to sell SOC, 900 bushels
OF corn. "I'll take II" quietly said Kicker.
1t was considered "too bad" by those in the
pit, and some wondered whether or not
John B. Lyon would really hold the drunken
operator up to his contract. In the after
noon Kicker sent around his check for the
margins, and within forty-eight hours was
carried away to the Washingtonian Home to
strafghten up. Meanwhile corn advanced
two and three cents per day. Lyon settled
for that 100000 bushels with Kicker at about
70 cents, SO the goasips say. Kicker was
charitable In the extreme. In quiet, un-
assuming way he would say to some poor
fellow whom he saw down in the shoes
'Let me take a trade for Vou," and that was
a delicate way Of saying: "Let me make
you present of 5000 or $500"

THE CAMDEN TRAGEDY.
HaIIs's Trial Besun-EvIdenee for
the state.

COLUMBIA, s. c., September IA special
from Camden, s. c., says; 'The trial of
Captain j. L. Halle for killing Colonel L.
w. R. Blair, the Greenback leader, on July
4th, began this morning, Judge Kershaw
presiding. The court house was packed.
The prosecution was conducted by Solicitor
Bonhsm, aided by ex-Judge T. j. Mackey,
Independent candidate for Congress in the
Fifth district. A plea of not guilty was en-
tered. The jury was drawn, composed
OF whites, after two challenges by the State
and eight by the defense, six being for
cause. Several States witnesses made i'm
portant variations from their evidence
given at the inquest, greatly weakening the
prosecution. The killing by Halle with
Spencer rifle was fully established. There
were three shots fred-one through the
heart, one through one lung, and one In the
side. Blair fell at the third shot without
speaking.
A States witness said that Blair called
Halle - liar Halle walked to the
Tax office, followed by Blair, who had his
hand in his left breast. Halle came to the
door with the rifle and out on, the sidewalk.
On Blair's advancing towards him, Halle
fired, and Blair moved round between Halle
and the court house. Halle moved back to-
ward the outside of the sidewalk and fred
again. Blair moved out towards the
sidewalk and st the third fire fell on
his side, turned on his back and died. The
State failed to establish the language of
Halle after the killing, showing his pre-
meditation Of the deed. The day was con-
sumed in taking testimony for the prosecu-
tion, all the witnesses present being ex-
amined. Counsel announced that but one
or two more would be examined tomorrow.
There was no direct testimony as to
malice. Evidence for defense will take
all OF tomorrow. The case will not close
before Saturday"
