an advancing market, while they all argue a d.
rectly contrary condition. The export during
July was in round figures 81. 1000 900 of pounds
Qncluding pork and beef products), valued at
Sl2,SS2,000. against 16, 900 900 of pounds same
time in 1882, valued at $S,976,67S The total
export for the nine months of 1888 is slightly
under that of the previous year, which has been
mainly due to the hostility with which Amrri-
can meats have been treated by Germany and
France. How far this policy has developed the
supply it is now impossible to say, but, judging
trom the more lenient attitude recently displayed
10y these two powers, it may be assumed 1t has
not done mucn, and in the event of a reversal OF
ms policy this would open a larger market for
our product.
Foreign buyers made the most of the reaction
caused by the McGeOch failure and stocked MP
when the lowest point was reached, az the large
export during July above given will show.

Mrs. James p. Caldwell rode on a free
pass the other day from Mexico, Mo-, to
Leadville, Col, to see her son. This pass
was given to her husband and herself
twenty years ago, and is life pass for
both, and will pass them over any rail-
road in the United States. 1t was given
them by the North Missouri Railroad
Company after they had respectfully de-
clined the company's offer of gift of
$4,000. How the company happened to
offer the couple-who were well-to- do
in the world a gift of $4,000 is told by
the Hannibal Journal: tIn January, 1851, {,
the confederate bushwhackers set fire to
the bridge over Young's Greek, and Mr..
Caldwell got out of bed in season to check
the flames with a pail of water. Then he
hurried to Centralia to give the alarm,
leaving his wife and children to keep the
fire in check. 1t was q bitterly cold
night, and Mrs. Caldwell had to wrap her
children in blankets; but despite the cold
they worked, and extinguished the
flames The bridge, however, had been
reduced to mere shell. Mrs. Caldwell
knew that it couldn't bear up train that
was almost due, and hurrying to her
house, she got lantern and stood on the
bridge in the biting blasts of January
night until the train with its freight OF
human life had been warned and stop

Money the Root Of All Evil.

A terrible affair recently happened
in Pueblo. An employe of the rail-
road brought home all his savings,
5000, in bank bills, as surprise to
show his wife, who did not know he
had that amount Of money. Hearing
the approach of the train he put then
on the table and ran out to his work,
and his wife went to the door to looE
after him. During her absence theil
little three-year-old daughter crawled
up to the table, and, seeing the roll
of bright-colored papers. threw them
| in the fire. The father ON his return
on learning Of the loss struck tlt
child such terrible blow as to Kill
it, and that night, filed with re-

Some years ago q gentleman i'll this
city was in the habit of taking some
whisky daily in greater or less guam
tity and kept a jug in his place OF
business for that purpose. His old
servant Daniel was permitted access
to the jug and did his part OF the
drinking pretty regularly. The jug
was filled regularly when necessary.
The gentleman determined to quit
drinking entirely, and he did so with
out saying a word to anybody. The
week following old Daniel noticed his
boss that the jug was empty. The
boss told Daniel that he must have
drank it all, as he, the boss, had quit
for more than a week. Daniel was
surprised, if not mortified, and said !:

4 Ren.tniscence of old Hickory.

baskerville IN. c. Cor. Nashville American. ]
Mr.. Bacchus Smith, an old and excellent
citizen of this county, has given me many
interesting incidents of the ''days that are
no more" One of these is about Andrew
Jackson. When Andrew was a young
limb of the law, he hung out his single in
Jonesboro, East Tennessee.
Among the many distinguished lawyers
that attended court at Jonesboro was Gen.
Waitsel Avery, of North Carolina, one Of
the signers of the Mecklenburg decla1a-
ton of independence. Gen. Avery always
carried in one of the capacious
pockets of his overdoat an old COPY
of Lord Bacon's law digest, carefully
wrapped up in brown paper. In all i'm
portant lawsuits this venerable law book
figured conspicuously, as the old general
would draw it out just in time to rout
jackson and the other young lawyers. One
night, while General Avery's overcoat was
hanging up at the hotel, Jackson slipped
Lord Bacon out and put a piece of fat
bacon the same size N the paper and place l
it ID the pocket. Next day the young law
yers badgered General Avery very badly in
law case, purposely to bring out the
Bacon digest as usual. He said: ''May it
please your honor, Lord Bacon furnishes
precekent that fits my view in this case
precisely, and will proceed to read it to
the court, With this he took the packet
out of his pocket and proceeded to unfold
it. To the surprise of the court, the delight
of the young lawyers and the amusement
of everybody the bacon proved to be fat
hog meat. The old lawyer was hopping
mad and challenged young Jackson,
and the latter accepted, Colonel
Bob Love. afterward of this place, being
his second. The seconds, unknown to the
principals, loaded the pistols with blank
cartridges, and, of course, no blood was

an Entertaining Letter from Col. Allen
Life at the Great Resort.

IN Entertaining Letter from Col. AILe1i-
Life at the Great Resort.
To the Editor of the Globe:
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, April 3, 1S83.-We
are still at the Hot Springs, bathing, sweat
ing and stewing in common with the great
nobility of our country, United States Sen
ator Compton, of Missouri; Voorhees,, of
Indiana; and lesser lights, such as our
Senator Gilfllan and Speaker Fletcher.
Still farther down the ladder comes Judge
Chandler, Mr.. Tarbox, of st. Paul; j. L.
Case of Racine, and Mccormick, of reaper
notoriety. In fact the valley is filled with
noted men. There are said to be over
5000, besides noted ladies, people
from every Northern state, and
nearly every Northern city. The
Southern people do not visit
here until May, when our people have re-
turned to their respective homes.
The town is improving since they have
acquired title to the property. Two of our
st. Paul people made quite an investment
in real estate here last week, before leav-
ing for home. A company built last season
a fine brick Opera house, with an elegant
finish inside. Last week we had the Black
Crook. This week We are to have Haver-
ley's Opera troupe. Black Dan and the
Bear give exhibitions of wrestling every
afternoon at the Geological gardens. So
you see we,are not short of amusements.
Sunday afternoon 1 had the pleasure of
witnessing colored baptism. There were
four candidates to be washed and whitened.
Two of the colored lady candidates got
the power or change of heart.
They roared furiously, tore their
hair, danced jig, declared
they stood on holy ground, and finally roll
ed in the sand, until the brethren rolled
them into a cart and hauled them away.
1t is better appreciated when seen, as
am sure they got the wickedest part
under the water.
1t is with sorrow we learn of the death of
two of our most distinguished citizens,
Messrs. Allis and Otis-gentlemen of the
bar, distinguished for their legal talent,
able jurists and honorable men. Mr..
Otis was a personal friend. I
always revered him as one of Gods noble
men, possessed of warm heart and clear
head. He has done his full share as an old
settler in shaping the destiny of our youth
full and growing city and state. To such
men we owe debt of gratitude for their
unselfsh devotion to the state of their
adoption. Peace be to their ashes, and
may their memory ever remain green
with us.
Weather warm and pleasant, thermom-
eter ranging from 65 to 80. Excuse this
lengthy epistle, while 1 remain, as ever,
truly yours A. ALLEN.
