TEE MARKETS..
Cheese.

The price has taken very sudden fall,
owing. partially, to the condition of the
Eastern market, precipitated prematurely,
it is claimed by some parties unnecessarily,
by desire to make themselves solid with
the trade by being the first to make .conces-
sions on falling market The fall was. in
evitable, but the regulation of prices can
never be managed satisfactorily either to
dealers or patrons until Cheese Board of
Trade is established. This ought to be
done without delay, and if dealers are un-
willing the patrons should demand it in
their own interests. The stocks are in
good condition and supply, and the trade
very satisfactory. We quote, billing

A Stranger From Freeport.

Usually professional, dyed-in-the-
wool gambler is the hardest man to bea
in the wide world. He divides his fell
low-men into two GLASSES, and in his
terse Ind pigrammaticslang he calls
them "suckers and thieves. He
thrives and grows fat on the one class,
and it requires all his alertness to keep
from being robbed by tho other. His
perceptions are 80 shRrpened that he can
distinguish m honest man from lnnve
at glance, but occasionally he gets
picked up i'll most scandaious manner.
A case of this kind occurred in Chicago
q day or two ago, under the following
circumstances:
A short tlmo since strange gambler
OF much plausibility and fine address
came to town. He circulated among the
brethren, and soon ingratiated himself
into the confidence of the gentlemanly
and urbane proprietor of q castle de-
voted to speculation of a dubious char
acter, located at no great distance from
Calhoun place. In due course of time
he developed his plot. He knew a man
IN Freeport who had 81, 900 to invest in
the banking business (faro banking),
ana If he, the plausible stranger had
another 81 900 10 could go in with him.
lie represented tho Frecport man to bo
rank sucker, whom it would be base
hattery to call an illustrious "gilly."
His plan was TO borrow the 81, 900 from
his new-found friend, who would come
down to Freeport and in the absence of
tho native win out the entire bank roll,
his own 81 900 and tho natives 81 900,
and divide. This is an old trick among
gamblers, aud tho gontlemanly capitalist
knew it could be worked. lie know,
too, that the stranger and tho Freeport
man might be " standing in " to rob
him, but he came to the conclusion that
his now acquaintance meant to do tho
"square thing" with him. He accord
ingly advanced the 81 900, but in order
to secure bimsef he sent trusted ally
to go and look after it. The partner
was to telegraph the Chicago capitalist
when it was time TO como down to Free
port with, his old white hat and win out
tho roll. In order that there might be
no unpleasant complications, the tele-
gram was to be worded cit is a good
time to buy pork" The capitalist
waited anxiously for electric instruction
to invest in pork, but instead. there
came letter from his agent conveying
the sad intelligence that ono day, while
he was out eating his dinner, another
man in white hat had dropped in and
won out $4,000. On his return he had
demonstrated with tho Freeport
"suclier and the chance acquaintance,
but had been scoffed at and reviled, and
threatened with corporcal punishment if
he did not vacate the premises forth
with: To make n long story short, ho
had been incontinently "bounced," and
was even then on his way to Chicago.
Flo did not know how he was going to
| get home, but if his shoes held out he
would be due in week or two.
The public need feel no alarm about
| the agent. He will eventually reach the
city with his mournful story of the sud
den disappearance of the 81 900. The
Chicago capitalists faith in human
nature has sustained q severe shock, anL
ho will make no further Investments in
pork or in plausible strangers from
Freeport.

Pat Hollands Shooting Trick.
A Nevada exchange saws:

A Nevada exchange says:
Years ago, in the early days of the
| Comstock excitement, Pat Holland, now
| postmaster and coroner in q little town
In Cochisc County, Arizona, was tho
most respected man in the State He
had the reputation of being q dead-shot
| with pistol. Of course this accom-
| plishment made him feared by every
body, and there was no man in Virginia
SO bold as to cross him in public. Pat
| acquired his reputation by shooting on
the stage, and could kno k an apple of
his sons head with an accuracy and
| carelcssncss which combined to impress
the public far more than the manner in
which the painstaking William Tell
| performed the feat with an arrow. FL
nauy, Pat secured young lady who
would allow an apple to be shot or her
| tlaXcn roll, and when Pat executed the
| feat he would throw his keen eye at the
girl, and then roll his or.;s up into the
gallery, and without looking ut his
mark, send bullet through the fruit.
| 1hls was put down on the bills rs pat
Holland's psychological feat OF shoot
ing from memory" and drew crowded
| houses" One night he advertised to
shoot apples from twelve Yong ladies'
heads in succession, and only take one
look at the crowd. Pipcr's Opera House
was packed with men at one dollar n
head, and when the curtain rose twelve
immaculate ballet dancers were in line
along the wings. each with an apple on
her head. Pat stepped to the foI lights
and bowed amid tremendous APPLAUSE
lie had u siX-shootcr in each hand,
and the stage manager announced
that ho would shoot the last six apples
with his left hand. Casting his
eye along the line, he took a long
breath, steady position. and then
faced the audience. Lifting his revOl-
yer, he began to shoot in rapid success
sion, and the apples began to fly out of
sight amid the hrcathlcjs silence of the
audience. The curious part Of the per-
by the time Pat had fired the six shots
all tho apples had Disappeared yet he
kept on angling away with his lot
hand, amid roars of laughter and deri-
sion. TO cap the climax, two applcs
| got tangled together and remained
| dangling from the edge Of n scene in
plain sight of the audience The trick
was at once apparent. Each apple had
line thread attached, and at the shot
was jcrk kcd quickly out OF sight. The
supcs behind the scenes who pulled
| the strings got confused at Pats rapid
firing and half the apples disappeared
before the tine. Two were snatched
of simultaneously, and the strings over
tapping in the ar brought the apples
together where they hung TO the edge
OF the scene, tho strings being on each
side. This ended Hollands career as a
public soloist on the pistol, and the
pubic gradually came to look upon him
as an ordinary mortal. Soon after this
he got into q street row in Piochc and
fired twelve shots in dcnsely popu-
lated portion of the city without killing
man. But for attempting to do too
much at once he might have gone to
Congress from this State years ago.

Detecting a Witch.

A singular instance of belief in witch
craft, superstition supposed to be ex-
tlnct, is reported from Norristown Pa.
Some days ago young married woman
was taken Ill !, and her sickness was at
trlbuted by her husband to tho fact that
she Is bowltched. Anxious to discover
the guilty. party, he procured a now
horseshoe from a blacksmith shop, pre-
pared it in some way to uctlike a charm,
and then threw it into tho fire. Not
long. afterward he heard one of his
nelghbors complain of burning pain in
her chest, and believed that he had
found the witch. To make sure he placed
some salt under the carpet at the
doorway of his house and awaited the
result. Several neighbors came to see
the sick woman and crossed the thresh-
old without difficulty, but the suspected
one stumbled in passing over it. He in
tends to try further experiments re-
porsed to be effective In discovering
witches.
