Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets

Review of the Local Grain, Produce, and
Provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5.
There is n continued fair degree of activity in
local commercial circles, but the leading articles
were devoid of any important features to-day.
Our merchants generally appear to be fairly
employed, and while orders are mostly small,
there is a large and increasing business in the
aggregate. Dry goods men, boot and shoe deal
ers and the hardware and iron merchants are
all having a brisk trade, and groeers have no
reason to complain. Sugars are firm, some of
the brokers quoting a slight advance, but we
make no change in our quotations, which scarce
ly cover lay-down cost. Coffee firm with an 1n-
creasing business, both in green aud roasted, as
is usually the at this season of the year. al
though the upward tendency is having its effect
on stimulating business. Our reports from the
East continue decidedly bullish. and for the time
the shorts are down, and some of them, no
doubt, have been pretty badly caught. Syrups,
molasses and rice fairly active at prices quoted.
Nothing new to note In canned goods, with the
exception that tomatoes are easier and beef
higher There is not much doing in fish. but the
market Is firm for mackerel. Receipts of poul-
try, eggs and butter are liberal, and prices easy
at quotations. The provision market is stronger,
and a sharp advance in short ribs will be no.

Improving the Mississippi.


Government may spend uponthe inn
provcment of the Mississippi river
anywhere from twenty-five million to
seventv-ive million dollars, and when
it has spent the money may suddenly
find some day that the river has got up
in the night and destroyed all the i'm
provement made, and that the money
is consequently a dead loss. This is
not an encouragement for liberal APP
preparations, yet it is swhat a committee
of congress reports as the practical
state of the case. 1t appears that the
more money is spent upon mattresses
TO strengthen the bank and control the
current the more mattresses there are
TO be washed away; and that the wash
ing away operation cannot be stopped
unless mattresses are placed on both
banks for the whole length of the river
at one and the same period OF low
water; and it further appears that the
more the channel is deepened by limi-
tation of width the more that cantank-
erous river will go out of it's deepened
channel and make for itself a new wide
and shallow channel, such as it loves,
through somebody's farm. Upon the

1t is evident that if sufficient num-
ber of farmers to take care of a thou
sand COWS will locate in the same neigh
borhOod in any portion of the west
well adapted to dairying, they may at
once operate butter or cheese factory
with good promise of success. They
can raise corn the first year, which,
with the native grasses, will furnish
very fair food for their cows. They
can also commence The introduction of
cultivated grasses on land intended for
permanent pasture. The second sea-
son they can raise both corn and small
grains, and the third year they can
have an abundance of clover ard tim
othy hay. They must, of course, have
sufficient capital to erect farm build
ings, to put up and furnish a factory,
and to purchase the cows to furnish
milk. BY devoting two years to gener-
al or grain farming they could get their
land in good condition for dairy farm
ing, and by buying good heifer calves,
which may now be obtained at any of
our western stock-yards, raise good
herds of COWS. 1t is understood that
several associations of dairy farmers
will establish themselves on the new
lands in the province of Manitoba the
present spring. They will not wait for
the country to be settled up before they
commence operations.

whole we imagine this country will
have to consider once more the much
neglected plan for the improvement of
the Mississippi suggested by Senator
Blair, of New Hampshire, which was
that the river be led by way of the
great lakes to Hudson Bay, and be run
up hill SO as to carry the waters of the
gulf stream north and mitigate the
climate of the frozen regions. That
seems to be a more feasible plan than
the one they are now working.

Interesting Facts About Hair.

Dr. Wilder in Medical Tribune.
Whether the hair should be cut
never could quite satisfy myself. AS a
physiological practice | seriously doubt
the propriety. Every cutting is a
wounding, and there is some bleeding
in consequence, and waste of vital
force. ! think it will be found that
long-lived persons must frequently wear
the hair long. The cutting of the hair
stimulates TO q new growth to supply
the waste. Thus the energy required
o maintain the vigor of the body is
drawn off to make good the wantOn
destruction. 1t is said, / know, that
length it loses its vitality at the eXtrem-
ity, and splits or 'brooms up Whether
this would be the case if the hair should
never be cut | would like to know.
! When it is cut fluid eXudes, and forms
scab or cicatriX at each wounded eX-
tremity, indicating that there has been
injury. Women and priests have gen
orally worn long hair. / never could
imagine why this distinction was made.
The ancient priest was very often un-
seXed or devoted to n vow of cclibacy,
but cannot surmise whether that had
anything to do with it. Kings wore
their hair long, in imitation of Samson
and the golden sun god Mithias.

shorn were slaves and laborers; that

THE ENGLISH SOLDIER.
How he Was Regarded Half ~ Century
Ago by the Brltish Public.

Ago by the British Public.
Saturday Review.
He was regarded as ap outcast and
pariah, and avoided as leper, or mad
dog. Novel writer's depicted the
family scapegrace bringing disgrace
and degradation on his friends by en-
listing. Magistrates on the bench
publicly upbraided young men who had
SO far forgotten what was due to pro-
priety and decency as to become
soldiers. The apparition of a red coat
at one door of a railway carriage would
be speedily followed by the exit of the
passengers at the other, leaving the
wearer in undisturbed possession.
True, he was never refused admission
to restaurants and respectable places
of public resort, as has happened not
SO very long ago, for the simple reason
that he never refused to seek it. A
patient from the small hospital would
have stood q better chance than the
soldier. His life in barracks was cer-
tainly not adopted to develop his intel
lect or to make him a desirable member
of society. 1t was monotonous, irk-
some, and, Judged by the standard of
to-day, miserable to degree that
makes one wonder how it was endured.
He had nothing to learn but drill and
guard-mounting, nor was there any
thing in either occupation to call for
the exercise of the smallest intelligence.
Accordingly he never was credited
with possessing any. His professional
training might be summed up in
"Quick march" varied by GAS you
were" His food was bad and the
cooking worse. and as in those days
the cost of his rations was deducted
from his pay, he could, after al
lowing for other stoppages, only reck-
on on receiving about Id or I'd per diem
in actual cash. Even this munificent
stipend was doled out to him daily by
special order, for fear lest lump sum
of three or four days pay would result
in drunkenness. The barrack was des'
titute of library, reading room, or 9

the profits of which went to enrich the
civilian proprietor. The soldier closeC
his dreary day by being bugled o.
drummed off to bed at the infantilC

utes late the guardroom was his por
ton for the night and punishment OF
the morrow. Can it be wondered tha
the soldiers conduct, language anC
general bearing were such us to preju
dice the general mind against him
OF recreation, in the accepted sense o
the term, he had none. His two prin
cipal objects were, first, to save sut
ficient money to enable him to ge
very drunk, and, secondly, to 90 an
do il. Having achieved this praise
worthy feat, he had exhausted the thel
known methods of legitimate enjoy
ment TO ask for more would hav
savored of presumption and been re
garded as heresy. With the genera

Knew His Own Name.

A well-known citizen of Detroit was
walking up Woodward avenue one day
last week when he saw an old colored
man in advance of him who frequently
did chores in his family. Wishing his
services the gentleman called to him in
q voice that demanded attention:
s ''George!n 81 -
There was no answer and not the
slightest indication that the old darkey
heard him; so the gentleman called
again: h--s
George Washington .
Not glimmer of recognition; the
gentleman knew he was right in the in
dividual and was quite sure of the no
menclature, but he thought he would
make another attempt.
George Washington Smith!
The old man turned quickly, grinning
with recognition.
Eyes, sab, that's me sah.'
..Why didn't you answer me before?"
asked the citizen Indignantly.
How'd l know. sab, dat Use the oen-
tleman yoh wanted? l never answer to

etiquette to his satisfaction. - Detroit
