Especial Telegram to the Globe.1

MILWAUKEE Aug. 13.-At the morning board
wheat opened &c lower in sympathy with a
weaker feeling abroad, and decline of pence
per GENITAL at Liverpool, and pence per quarter
at London. The weather in England was re-
ported by private cable as less oppressive. I'm
ports into England were liberal and Paris ruled
easier A stronger feeling and sudden reaction
followed, and when the visible supply was posted
it was SO mnch less than anticipated that consid-
cradle strength was impaired to the market. The
weather in the northwest continues fine. No. 2
spring seller September opened at 7S24, and ad-
vanced to 79H October ranged at 1Sc above
September, opening at 7s%c, rising to SOac and
falling back to S05sc.
The statement made on change yesterday by
s. Tallmadge that import wheat has been lower
than at the present time is successfully enter
tanned. Taking freight into consideration wheat
could never be laid down in Europe so low as to-
day. A bushel Of wheat can now be trans ported
from Milwaukee to Liverpool for 1876 and with
ruling prices, the cereal for import has never be-
fore touched the present figures. The market
ruled tolerably firm at the afternoon board and
prices stifened up little on news of heavy rains
in Missouri and decreased deliveries at all wheat
points. September wheat closed at 1850 and
October at S1Hc.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The bulls were on hand
to advance prices and the market improved as
soon as the exchange opened. The Grangers
and Union Pacific were the features and the last
named seems to be raised without any difficulty
1t is still largely oversold. Western Union was
not behind its neighbors and sold above Sc dur
ing first hour. The market showed considerable
manipulation and when this support was with
drawn it wavered. Lake Shore dropped from
S14 to S04 in a few moments. The West Shore
bonds acted as though there might be some
truth in reports that there was a contest for the
possession OF the property and were
in demand at As. There was consid-
cradle activity in Pullman. Stocks were
exceedingly dull at times and inclined to
drag. About the commencement OF the last hour
there indications of fresh orders in st, Paul
and Lake Shore and the tone improved. The
Delaware & Lackawanna clique worked the stock
up to about ia with but little effort The
market displayed considerable vim at the finish
There were some purchases of Lake Shore under
the rule for account of delinquents, who were
tardy in deliveries. Stocks closed as q general
thing with quite an improvement for the day and
there was rather a buoyant feeling all around.

Pitch Springs.

In different parts of the world we FIND
the phenomenon of a kind of natural unc.
tuous and intiammable substance oozing
from the earth. which, under the various
names Unnatural pitch, earth pitch, naph.
tina. petroleum Tor rock oil), is very wei
known as to its general properties The
naphtha is the purest state of this sub
stance, which by certain exposure to tn,
air somewhat changes its quality, and be.
comes petroleum; and finally, after stg
longer exposure, becomes what we cal
bitumen.
These phenomena are found in variou
parts of the world, but that which va
briefly mention is in one of the is ands Of
the Ionian Confederation. This natun
emulation is found in the southern par
of Zante, near the coast, and has been
described by several modern travcler
1t is always matter of curiosity to de-
termine how long such natural phenome
ma have been in operation, and in this
instance we know that the pitch spring
of Zante were as productive ,, 800 year
ago as they are now. Herodotus, in bis
travels, visited this spot, of which he
gives the following account in his fourl
book "In Zacynthus | saw pitdI
brought up out of the water of a pond.
Indeed, there are several of these ponds
but the largest of them is about seveng
feet square, and twelve feet deep. Tn.
mode of procuring the pitch is the fol-
lowing: They take pole, and push d
into the water with a myrtle branch a
the end, and on pulling it up they find
the pitch adhering to it, which in smell
is like asphaltus, but of a better qualit
than the common pine pitch. They col
lect this pitch in kind of vat or receph
Gle which they have dug near the pond.
and when the quantity is considcrabl
they put it in large jars or barrels Il
any pitch drops from the branch into The
pond, it goes under the ground and ap
pears again in the sea, which IS about hal.
mile from the pond.
This pitch rises naturally to the sur
face, being specifically lighter than Wa
ter. Herodotus appears merely to b
describing the mode of procuring it d
greater quantities by bringing it u.
| from the bottom, where it possibly nigh
collect for sometime before it rises. Ih.
ponds are described as being now d
smaller dimensions than those whlc.
Herodotus states, and also nearer tb|
sea- In an island so subject to the dis
turbances of earthquakes, it is possible
that many physical changes may have
taken place since the Greek traveller say
the pitch fshed up from the ponds d
! Zante.

Poor Tired Mother.

They were talking of the glory of the
land beyond the skies,
Of the light and of the gladness to be
found in paradise,
Of the flowers ever blooming, of the
never ceasing songs,
Of the wand'rings through the golden
streets of happy white-robed throngs;
And said father, leaning cozily back in
his easy chair
(Father always was a master hand fol-
comfort everywhere);
What joyful thing 'twOuldbe to know
that when this life is DER
Ore would straightway hear welcome
from the blessed shining shore"
And Isabel, our eldest girl, glanced up
ward FROM the reed
She was painting Oh a water jug, and
murmured. Yes, indeed"
And Marian, the next in age, a moment
dropped her book.
And Yes, indeedp repeated, with a
most ecstatic look.
But mother, gray-haired mother, who
had come to sweep the room,
With a patient smile on her thin face
leaned lightly on her broom
Poor motherl no one ever thought how
much she had to do
And said, II hope it is not wrong not to
agree with you,
But seems to me that when l die, before
1 join tue blest,
I'd like just for little whileto lie in my
grave and rest"

Darlings of the Household.

Children will suffer most during the
next three MONTHS" said Sixth avenue
physician. speaking upon the subject
yesterday afternoon, '.from the process
of teething and effects of indigestion.
When the thermometer rises above 80
degrees trouble from these causes may
be expected. Mothers who have q
watchful care of their children will,
during that time, make free use of
cool water, sponging the child's face
and body frequently. Children should
not be allowed any fatty or heating
food during the Summer, and, indeed"
said the doctor in mild parenthesis.
grown people should guard against
them as well. Eat and feed the chill
dren what you know to be the most
easily digested, baked or boiled meats,
served cold, custards, rice and such
things; ice cream and sponge cake are
excellent. Mothers should be especially
careful of babes in their second year.
1t is then that the process of teething
makes them fretful and liable to illness.
Where the children in this condition
show symptoms of fever, relief may be
secured by the application of a cooling
bath; but should they be attacked with
vomiting, with cool skin, the physician
should be called at once. A drop of
good brandy in hot, sweetened water
should be given at once, or plasters
applied to the stomach. "
This may be an old story" re-
marked the doctor in conclusion, "but
the subject is very timely, and the
points can not be too thoroughly i'm
pressed upon mothers. ."-PtaSburg Dis

American Cookery Criticised.

A London writer, VINO was here in
the train of Irving, has this to say in
an English paper about our cookery:
From the dreadful corned beef and
cabbage and the fearful fish-balls of
crude American cookery, the family of
Delmonico has by degrees led the
American public to the consideration
of higher things. The favorite dishes
of the great republic have been con-
centrated in New York, and recent ar
rivals are Hospitality challenged to
compare anything in the old world
with them. Politeness prevents such
comparisons, which would hardly be
in favor of either hemisphere In fish
and game, despite its wide area of
river and prairie, America can in no
way compare with the raw products of
this country. But it has its specialties.
The oysters of Blue Point and Shrews-
bury River may not be denied any
more than the canvas-back nourished
on the marshes of the Potomac, the
terrapin captured on the shore of the
Delaware, the snapping-turtle from the
far West, the gumbo soup of New
Orleans or the pampano fish which re-
ioiceth the Mexican Gulf. What the
Delmonicos have done is to bring the
enjoyments of the two hemispheres
into ombination. They have known
how to make the clans, the oysters,
the shcepshead and other strange fish

The Women of Panama.

One sees plenty of women smoking
In the streets of Panama-not women
of the higher classes, but negresses and
Colombians of the lower social grades.
1t is q very common sight here TO wit
ness woman busy at her washing, or
hanging something on her head along
the streets, or nursing an infant at an
open door way, or cooking the evening
meal; also, at the doorway, or swing
ing in hammock, and at the same

domestic occupations ever putf-puff
putting, drawing a cigdrTilLo (cigarette),
or very long and slender cigar, known
here as a ''rat-tail' or a .'poca-tiempo"
(''little time" or ''Of little accountn).
Strange to say. have never yet seen a
native smoke pipe. Pipes are rare
things in Panama, and those who
smoke them are almost invariably
foreigners, mostly English sailors.

has strayed away from the vaterland

pipe, but feel ashamed TO be seen
using it, SO it rests undisturbed in my

A NIiser's Folly.

Even in these DAYS now and then is
found the man who distrusts National
banks and hides his money in old
clocks and shoes and under the carpet.
Last week Roger Meredith. an old
farmer out in Flint township, came
into his house after a brief visit to the
woodshed. His face was ashy pale
and his whole manner indicated in
tense excitement He called feebly
for his wife, and when she appeared on
the scene he demanded:
Where is that old wood stove that
was out in the shed all winterP"
"Why, 1 sold it, said his wife, sit
want of no earthly account and it was
knockin' around in the way, and a
peddler came along last week an
made me an offer for it and sold it. :"
Sold it!'' gasped the stricken old
man, '.sold it!''
Then with violent effort to control
himself he added:
''How much did you git fur itP'
"a dollar and quarter" replied
his wife, in tremulous tones, twisting
the corner of her apron.
H m," said the old man, in a con-
tented, satisfied way, HIN; dollar na
quarter; good enough. Gimme the
money. Igot to pay my road tax this
afternoon.
And the dame shelled .out the du-
cats, and as she watched her husband
make straight shoot for the cross
roads grocery, she smiled the extrava-
gantly-innocent smile of a guileful wo-
man and said:
'If pap only knew that got 81 70
for tnat stove and 81 for the old sled
irons and the wagon-tires he wouldn't t
work lick for week"
But just suppose now that old Mr..
Meredith had mad $4,000 in United
States bonds hid away in that old
stove? Would he ever have had the
heart to work againP But he didn't;
he never had $40 at a time in all his
life.
