Corn is steady and firm, with no special ami
nation. The local receipts are placed at about
quotations, and there is absence of any spec
ulative feeling. Crop is reported doing well,
but somewhat later than usual. The outlook is
for good crop in the territory tributary to In
dianapolis. Reports from the country are that
while offerings are not large farmers are pretty
well satisfied that they very high prices
for their old corn. We quote:

The death of Judge Black has
called forth illusions IN various
quarters to his tilt with Bob Ingerso]l
in the North american Review, and
in many cases the illusions arc sim
gularly uncandi6. Judge Black did
not appear at his best in that argu-
ment and it is folly to claim it. He
could not bring bis theme down to
Bob Ingersoll's plane. He could not
sacrifice dignity to be smart. He
was too ponderous to meet the witty
infidel. He used the cd a priori
club on the new armor of materialism
but the sparks came from the armer
The only advantage Jere Black pos
sessed was the advantage of believing
what he said and only saying what
he believed. Bob Ingersoll possessed
the double advantage of being able to
assert anything that helped him and
of not believing anything.

QUICK
Bread from Standing Wheat in
Four Minutes and Thirty
Seconds.

The last sensation occurred last
Thursday, when about fifty men
! were present by invitation to see Jim
Lawton beat his w time of two
years ago, when his wife had bread
baked in eight and q quarter minutes
after the wheat was standing in the
field. At 4. 6m. los. O'Clock the Buc--
eye Reaper, drawn by Cy. Burnett's,
dun mules, stood at the corner Of the
growing wheat, machine i'll gea
ready for a start. Men were s;atien-
ed every few feet along the line Of
grain ready to sieze an armful as it
fell from the reaper, and rush with it
10 the thresher close by, which. un-
der the direction Of veteran drivers,
was getting under way for business.
At the mill, just sixteen rods away,
LawtOn stood at the window watch
ing the moment when McCaw, on
the swiftest horse in the country,
should start from the thresber with
the grain, while Mrs. Lawton and
her neice, Miss Alice. had all the
preparations made to make griddle
cakes and biscuits in the shortest
possible time. At the drop of the
hat :he.dun mules sprang to work.
and in I'm. and l5s. the threshed
wheat. about a peck, was in the sack
and on the horse and the rae COM
meDced for the mill. There were two
bridges to cross, and the excited
spectators could only see a column of
dust, hear a couple of taps on the
plank bridges as the horse flew over
them at lightning speed, and the
wheat was delivered to Lawton in the
mill In I'm. lis. the flour was de-
livered to Mrs. Lawton, and in 3m.
sos. from the starting of the reaper
the first griddle-cake came from the
hands of Miss Alice, was gobbled by
dozen eager hands and-that was
the last seen of it. In Am. 3d.. from
the starting of the reaper, according
to the best double timer ~stop-watch
in the country, a pan of biscuits was
delivered to the hungry crowd by
Mrs. Lawton, and that was the last
seen of them. Then other pans of
biscuits were baked more at
leisure, and boiled ham and lone
minute" formed a sandwich it was
hard to beat, and then, as it would
be impossible for a Western gather
ing of any kind to be worthy the
name without a speech of some XII d,
Mr.. Smiley proposed that General
Shields make a speech, " hich he did,
in those incomparatively graceful
that fill even so prOsiac a pro-
,eeding as grinding wheat with the
poetry of eloquence. Then Lawton,
N his modest way, had to say some
hing and he made a little speech,
which was heartily applauded as well
IS that of General Shields, and the
party separated. - drrolton (Mo.)

How to Foretell Weather.

The Farmers club Of the American
| institute has issued the following
rules for foretelling the weather. II
| farmers and others whose business is
out of doors and depends upon the
weather will study them closely,
they will be able to guess the weather
more accurately than Virgins OF
Vennor:
/. When the temperature falls sud-
denly there is a storm forming south
ofyou.
2. When the temperature rises sud-
denly there is a storm forming north
Of you.
3. The wind always blows from a
region of fair weather toward a re-
giOn where q storm is forming.
4. Cirrus clouds always move from
a region where a storm is in progress
to a region of fair weather.
5. Cumulus clouds always move
from a region of fair weather to a re-
gion where a storm is forming.
6. Where cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the north or northeast
there will be rain inside Of twenty
four hours, no matter how cold it is.
Z. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the south or southeast
there will be a cold rain storm on the
morrow, if it be in summer, and if 1t
b" in winter, there will be a snow
storm.
8. The wind always blows in q cir
Gle around a storm, and when it
blows from the nortL, the heaviest
rain is east of you; if it blows from
the south, the heaviest rain is west
of you; if it blows from the east, the
heaviest rain is south; if it blows
from the west, the heaviest rain is
north OF you.
9. The wind neve blows unless
rain or snow is falling within 1000
miles of you.
10. Whenever heavy, white frost
occurs, q storm is forming within
1000 miles north or northwest of you

An AuecdOto Of the Oomte do
ChambOrd.

The Comte de Chambord was al
ways noted for amiability and kind
ness of heart, and never embittereG
by the changed prospects of his life
At six years of age he was the little
Due de Bordeaux, grandson of Charles
X, and the hopes and expectations OF
France were fixed apon him. Like
many Othsr robust aud easy tempered
| children he considered lessons y ter
| rib!e hardship, and particularly dis
liked writing. His copy-bOoks were
blotted and scrawled over ~dreadfully,
to his grandfather's great ~displeasure
and the dispair of the unfortunate
tutor whose TASK it was to teach him
caligraphy. But the child was so
merry, asked pardon in such engag-
ing tones, and made such good resO.
lutions for future copies, that the
writing master could not look grave
for a long time together, and perhaps
his royal pupil took advantage Of
him.
One morning, however, the child's
playfulness failed to rouse him from
q settled melancholy; there were
even tears in the old mans eyes;and,
though tho little Due de Bordeaux
asked over and over again what allied
him, he could obtain no answer. AT.
ter lessons, however, a servant told
the boy that bis tutor was RESPONSE
BILE for a debt Of one thousand francs
incurred by his son, and saw no
