THE SHONBAR.
New York Copper Marx t.

Lake copper is developing more
and more strength. There is very
little of it in second hands, and first
hands decline to part with any. The
lots which were constantly thrown
on the market by manufacturers who
had taken other fine kinds have all
been disposed of. For brands recog-
niZed by consumers for uniformity
and known to them so far as quality
is concerned, of coulse this means
increased tirmness, and for Baltimore
and Anchor we quote the range 14ss
@15S.
On the other hand, we hear of sales
as low as 14c; and as these may be
misunderstood both by consumers
and by producers, 1t is necessary to
state that in all transactions at such
exceptionally low figures there are
special circumstances. The copper is
either low in quality or the brand is
entirely unknown, so that only spt-
cial inducements will move buyers.

BILL NYES NEW VERSION.
The Guest Without q Wedding
Garment.
Laramie Boomerang,

It came to pass that q certain rail.
road man sent forth his servants to
call them that were hidden to the
wedding, and they would not come.
Again he sent forth other servants,
saying, tell them which are hidden,
behold, I have killed the old hen and
prepared the wedding dinner and
opened keg of nails and all things
are ready for the blowout.
But they made light of it and went
their ways, one to his farm, another
to his drug store, and another to his
gristmill and the remainder took the
servants and entYeated them spite
fully, and put a tin ear on them, and
eggs.
But when the railroad king heard
of it he bounced the entire outfit and
shut off their passes and raised their
freight tariff and busted them up in
their business and smote them sore
on the gable end of their intellects
and made it red hot for them.
Then he said unto his servants,
the wedding is ready, but they which
Go ye therefore down the side
tracks and into the round-house and
the water-tank and the cabooses and
the gravel trains and gather together
as many as ye shall find and tell
them to come over to the wedding
feast and fill themselves up.
And the servants went forth and
rounded up as many as they could
find,t both good and bad and bade
them to the feast.
And when the king went into the
reception room he found there a man
who had not on a spank tail coat and
lownecked shoes and clocked socks
And he saith to him: "Pardner,
how cometh it that thou art here
without any store clothes on, and
wearing instead linen duster and
iimcrow raiment generally"
And the man was at first speech
less but he answered yet again:
"Oh. railroad king! live forever
I know that I am here without
wedding garment; but behold, :! am
a conductor on thy line, and l have
reformed, and have ceased to KNOCK
down. and behold thy servant il
poor, and he is trying to live on hls
salary.
And the king was wroth, and tolo
the usher to gather him in and take
him by the slack of his raiment anc
to cast him over the puler wall, ane
there was weeping and gnashlng o
teeth"
made merry and whooped it up, tn
man who was cast out did stea
around and become solid with th'
cook, and filled himself up with tn
wedding feast on the sly.
And it came to pass that when ~
had eaten of the fatted calf and tn
wedding cake, and absorbed all tht
champagne that he could carry
awav. he crawled into the NOW ant
sleut till the cock crew.
And when the morning was come
he iourneyed over the railroad tracl
toward Salt Lake; for behold ne wa
a tramp.

and 4, 464 field guns, while the forces
OF France and Russia amount to
1889 battalions of infantry, 500
