PORTLAND, Aug. 3.
The wholesale market is generally steady and
prices without marked change. Flour is firm and
millers are very strong in their views and not
anxious to operate except at full prices. Pork and
Lard are still weak in tone. Sugar is unchanged.
In Produce the market is well supplied with all
kinds and good business is reported. Grain is
hrmer.
The wholesale market to-day was without feature;
weak and nrices barely maintained.

The Curiosity of oity and Country People

Ane Oullosity OF Olty ana Oountry feople
There is very ancient belief. and ]
do not know where or how ever it orig.
mated, that people who live in the coun.
try are characterized, among their Other
very ridiculous and peculiar traits, bys
deyouring curiosity that is entirely un.
known in the city.
= Part of this Is true, just about one
half of it. That portion referring t.
the country. Undoubtedly the villagei
Is most intensely interestedin the affair
OF his neighbor. Undoubtedly, also, hii
neighbor, with extravagant wariness,
takes heed unto the villager. But thai
the villager or the farmer possess this
trait or quality of curiosity in any de-
gree more than his cousin in the city is
an open question.
The villager, it is true, walks dowI
Chestnut street or Broadway, back to
the street, face to the show-windows,
mouth agape, perhaps, and eyes wide
open. Even so do /. Roughly, care
lessly and sometimes rudely is the vii.
lager jostled and pushed as he stands in
the way by the incurious city man to
whom all this is old and stale. But
further down the street a cluster OF
twenty men impede the way. Now there
are fifty, now the startled rustic beholds
upward of 180 men crowding about
some object in the street. All city men,
messengers, salesmen, brokers, clerks,
students, artists, literary men, gentle
men of leisure, one or two dudes, pos
sibly tramp or two--all the tramps are
city men. The villager forgets the win
dows in his greater attraction; he hur.
ries on, eager to see the fight, the MUIR
der, the suicide, whatever the unusual
horror may be, that has power to gather
in one close mass 200 or more busy and
incurious city men. He elbows his way
through the dense mass and, heart-brok.
en- with disappointment, sees three men
digging small hole in the ground 20
find q leak in gas main. Something
the villager wouldn't cross the street to
see. He is the first man to edge his way
out of that crowd.
Again. Rusticus beholds another
crowd, larger and more excited than the
first. Again he runs to see, and 10! the
banker, the broker, the clerk and the
preacher by the score and the hundreds,
gather about horse that has slipped on
the pavement and fallen in his harness.
Short time does Rusticus lnger at that
attraction. He has seen horses fall be-
fore and he knows how to get them to
their feet without sending for police
man.
When you have made up your mind
that all curiosity stops west of Fifty
second street, stroll down Chestnut street
some day when they are hosting safe
into second story window. You will
see people fifty-two years old, who were
born in Philadelphia, staring in the air
as though for the first and last time
since this old globe swung into space a
safe was to be suspended between the
sidewalk and the second story. The
villager might stare at balloon until it
sailed out of sight, but when he comes
to town he has no time to waste on safe
hoisting.-R.J j. Burdette in Philadelphia
Times.

A Sad Case of Desertion.

One of those painful events which brings lamentation to the hardest of hearts, occurred in Peach Springs on Sunday last, and served to arouse the people to vengeance, and had the object of their search been found, might have resulted disastr usly to the per son committing the wrong Milton ;. Py cert, for long time employed In the A. & F. yards at this point living peaceably and quietly with his wife and two small children m car, by the aid of free use of the ardent, committed wrong upon the wife of his bo som, by personally attacking and beating her, m manner winch no man can receive a sui
 icent punishment for. Pycer was dis. charged few days before from the em- ploy of the company, and had been drinking to a considerable extent. He re- ceived hts salary from the pay car on its last lrlp, and Sunday morning, instead of appro. prIating il to the support of his family, sat down Tn poker game and lost it. Being absent from home all day, the wife, with her OdDe m ner arms, came uoWn town tD LOOK for her husband, and seeing him at the gam
 ing table, called to him to come home with her. He arose from his seat, and passing out of the house into e street where hls wife was standing, confronted and addressed her in the most appalling language, bidding her go home, accompanying the order with threats. She starte,. off sad aud weep
 ing, to her home, and shortly after he appear cd at the house, lacked and struck her vio. lently, picked up portion of his clothing and stated he was going to desert her, and has not been seen or heard of since, and ac. cording to reports among the citizens, this climate would not be any too healthy for him should he return. Mrs. Pycert is most es- unable lady, and has many friends in thts community. To aid m support of the family she has taken in washing for months past, which work she has performed, besides her household duties. while attending a sick babe but few months old She is now left alone, and while she has the sympathy of this entire community in her misfortune, ev- cry aid should ue extended to her and her children. The wash-board is now her only means of support, and it is to be hoped our citizens will extend to her that patronage winch so deserving lady needs.
