came to city at the age of ten years,

though l had been kept at work all the

New Hampshire. Who is mayor of

The general trade was quiet, with no
feature of especial interest to-day.
Groceries continue very steady, with
good demand. All the leading ar

good request. Peaches are firm and a

Flour is quiet and unchanged.
Wheat is steadier, with fair inquiry.
Corn is firm and shade higher. The

Country produce is quiet and dull.
The warm weather has very much af-
fected the trade in this line, many ar
ticles being more or less perishable are
liable to be materially injured during

changes were reported in quotations,

A BIG SHOW.
S. Il. Barrett & Co.'S New United Mon
ster Shows. 1.-The Most Stupendous
Railroad Menagerie and Circus ever
Organized.
OCCASIONAL,

Indefinite announcements of the
coming to McMinnville of the grand
and new Menagerie and Circus have
been quite sufficient to make a sensa-
ton, and now that Friday, Oct. 26th is
positively announced as the date of its
appearance, there will be regular
old fashioned awakening. Surely the
bills tell Of enough to drive sleep from
the eyes of the young, and to revive
in the hearts of the old much of the
consuming circus fire Of youth,
and when the splendid street
parade arrives, with its elephants,
camels, dromedaries and wild beasts in
caravan its grand and gorgeous chart
OTIS, cars and cages its three fine mar
tial bands and new Leviathan Locomo-
tive Steam Orchestra, and its hundred
of wonders and amusing sights, every
body will be attracted to the half
million yards of brilliantly electric
lighted tents,
1t is unquestionably the most stu
pendious railroad menagerie and circus
ever organized in America, and can
lay fair claim to the title of "Univer>
sal Living Exposition" That it is vast
and inviting beyond precedent, and
fully and fairly up to its advertisements
is amply vouched for by the hearty
encomiums of both the press and public
wherever its canopied wonderland has
halted, and that it will many times re-
pay the expense and trouble of "a visit
is equally certain. We need not now
recapitulate the many genuinely rare
and exclusive features it has collected
from every cline, at fabulous cost, and
alone presents. From the only living
White Nile Hippotamus and the four
teen wonderfully beautiful and intelli.
gent performing horses to the Electric
Light, they have been more talked
about than the great ship canal, and
any one of at least bakers dozen Of
them is first-class show alone; while
in the splendid and varied street pa
rade will be seen free display to daz
zle and delight the wonder.rounded
eye. 1t is truly great and most lib
orally and carefully managed exhibi
ton, which all can consistently pat
onize with both profit and pleasure.
The parade will commend itself t.
all lovers of the attractive in spectacle
lar effects, and, as arrangements have
been made with all the railroads fol
cheap excursions, it amounts to almos
certainty that the surrounding popu
lation will avail itself of the privilege
and be in town at an early hour, so a
not to miss the procession and also thu
free outside ascension on a single in

The Model Girl.

A newspaper writer thus describes
the ideal girl Il saw a girl come into
street-car the other day, though, who
had, / was ready to bet, made her
own dress, and how nice she did look.
She was one of those clean, trim girls
you see now and then. She was about
Is years old, and to begin with, looked
well-fed, healthy and strong She
looked as though she had sensible
mother at home. Her face, and neck
and ears, and her hair were clean
absolutely clean.
There was no powder, no paint on
the smooth, rounded cheek, or firm, dim.
Piled chin; none on the moist red lips
none on the shell-tinted, but too small
ears; none on the handsome set neck
rather broad behind, perhaps, but run
ming prettily up into the tightly corded
hair. And the hair ! IL was of a
light chestnut-brown and glistened like
specks Of gold as the sun shone on it,
and there was not a smear of oil or
pomatum Or cosmetic omit; there was
not spear astray about it, and not a
pin to be seen in it. AS the girl came
and took her seat she cast an easy,
unembarrassed glance around the car
from a welkopened grey eye, bright
with the inimitable light of "good con-
dition, such as you see in some hand~

e. Our local market varies but little
since last report, though there is some
changes both in the West and South.
In Chicago corn is reported better
while wheat is lower. The demand for
wheat and corn about same as a week
ago, and prices unchanged. Dried
fruit hardly so good demand as last
week on account of large receipts both
in the East and the West. We let
quotations remain the same here, 5
to ST for bright apples and half peach
es. Eggs are dull and lower in nearly
all the markets in consequence of large
production and continued warm wealth
er. For strictly fresh eggs Mead &
Ritchey are paying IA to15 cts. for
hen and half price for guinea eggs.
But must be fresh to command full
prices. Feathers are dull and lower.
Provisions remain unchanged.
