Peter-Davis, an old South Carolis ma negro, has been practising medi> cine and surgery for many years without having received a diploma from any medical college. The South Carolina law governing med ical practitioners was years ago so modified that one who had practised the heslipg art for seven years, if otherwise we'll recon mended, might be admitted and enrolled ss regus lar physician. Ten years ago Dr. Peter cured sore leg that had been given up as hopeless case by regu, lar physicians. He was promised $500 if he did if, and when be had done it the patient refused to pay. Peter brought suit to recover his fee, and won it. He was thus graduated before a court of justice and became Peter Davis, NJ. D., by law. Lately he brought another suit to recover $40 for affecting a cure, and got it. lie was registered as a practising physician, and had less trouble than he had in the suit the verdict In which stood in place of diploma -Ez.

Re give place to.day

We give place to-day fo few suggestions with regard to the dis play ot agricultural prcAucis etc taken from the New OrletAs Bulle> tin of the great exposition. The suggestions might be of use in the displays at our Territorial fair. We quote:.
 "The small grains should be ex- hibited threshed and in the sheaf. Corn shelled, in the ear and in the shuck. Grasses. wild and tame, Tn baies and sheaves; pu.l the grass up by the roots.
 Forestry, farm and garden seeds in glass show bo,tlrs
 Collective exhibits, showing all the preparations and products of each agricultural plant. For exam pie from the cotton plant; the fibre, the oil, cake, meal, Lull ashes from the seed, fibre prepared from the stalk and representative cotton man. ufao ures.
 Rice, wheat, oats, rye, barley. etc, and their mill products. Sugar cane, sorghum and their products Illus trases these mills and factories by models, diagrams, pictures, &c. Ire homes, farms. and lives of farmers should be illust. ated by photographs, drawings, etc., of farm ] buildings, gates, enclosures. farm : ing operations, and, in fact, every thing that can be photo graph ed. The minor industries, like silk culture, bee farming, etc shouid be represented by collective exhibits, I included in general State exhibits" In the Horticultural department | the follrwing suggestions are made
 Specimens of small fruits and of all fruits of the prunus and pfrut species, and of garden vegetables ! can be we'll preserved in alcohol o1 a proper strength, in clear glass show bottles. Quart sizes are the best f small fruits, half allon fol the larger fruits. Dry, evaporaled canned and conserved fruit should
 also be exhibited. Fruit products jeilics, wines, brandies should no i be omitted. Fruits should be sen at the period of their best condition 1 for transportatIcn and kept in New
 Orleans in cola storage until wanted
 for exhibition purposes
 The appointment of a horticultur
 al week is suggested, suited to eacl climatic belt, to be desIenated b, the management, for the fullest dis
 play of fruit and vegetables in thei
 most perfect condition. Collections
 of fruit, flowers and leaves in wal
 should supplement the fresh fruit l where they fail.

Horse Thi. yes Captured.

MT. J. Stevens returned last night from his pursuit of the thieves who recently stole his horses, bringing the indicators with him. The horses will also arrive in few days. Mr, Stevens followed thelr trail to the Colorado river, where he took the train and went to Daggett, reach- ing there ahead of the thieves. There he met q former resident of Prescott, named Marshall, whose services he secused and went out in the country about ten miles and surprised the parties in camp. Their names are Barry Hayden, a half Indian, who was formerly in the employ of E. Poe as herder, and man who gave his name IS c. w. King, who came here as driver of one of James Carr's teams. Tie latter was well armed, and had he not been surprised and captured before he could get to his rife, he would have given fight; he is said to he a most excellent shot.

The stOck Market.
Special correspondence.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13, 1884.
 The cattle market during the week just closed has ruled fairly strong for attractive drcves. but weak and slumpy for the undesirable lots that have made up the bulk of the re- ccipts.
 At the start there were very few fat animals in the pens, and. as rule, the best grades sold readily at steady rates. Interior to fair grades were. however, in very large supply, and such were hard to dispose oi even at decline of 5 to 1Oc. Coarse, grassy animals were especially slow.
 The market for cows and mixed cattle was liberally supplied with canning stock from all quarters and the movement was generally slug gish, with quotations somew hat of. Thin, old cows which nobody wants cd were very abundant
 Offerings of range cattle were large. The best parcels were steady Lut canning droves were weak and 1Oc lower
 Stockers and feeders were quiet. Off-rings were not large. but ample the demand at the rates asked being light.
 As the week advanced the receipts were large and generally of poor 10 medium cattle. There were few good 10 choice and no extra animals on sale. Tue demand for anything suitable for shipping was active, but only few such were offered. Ad- vices from New York were discour- aging, especially on inferior to fair grades, but dressed pref men were eager buyers of good stock. Poor natives were neglected and lower.
 Business sn butchers stock was sluggish. The call for old cows was limited by supplies of Texas can ming stock. Prices fer good fat cows and heifers was steady, but low grade mixed lols were l0c of. Range cattle were firm, buyers as usual neglccting the low grade na- tIves In favor of cheap Texans.
 Stot kers and feeders were dull and weak, all grades beIng 20 10 30c lower. Eastern calves also were freely offered and sold Sl to $2 90 par head cheaper. Feeding steers were slew.
 Toward the close of :he week the situation rcma ned much the same. Good shipping beeves were scarce, and for that class, notwithstanding the discouraging reports from New York, tLe market held up firn- Lower grades were as dull and un- satisfactory as at any time recently The supply consisted principally of such qualities as shippers would not ordinarily touch- They were obliged to buy of them, however, in the absence of an adequate supply of suitable cattle, but prices were little cheaper. Not 8 single really choice load was offered. A few good animals went at $6 50 to $675 but sales at over $6.25 were scarce, while grassers brought only $4. 25 to $500.
 Native butchers stuff was steady but slow. The demand was restrict ed to butchers, canners filling their o.ders from range cattle. Sales were at $2.50 to $4.15 for inferior to good fat cows at s2.30 10 $4 for bulls, and at $3 to $4 90 for steers.
 Texans were firm under 6 good demand, $3 25 to $45o, while west ems brought $3 50 to s525-
 Stockers were more active but prices remained easy on a basis of s3.25 to $4 for poor to good thrifty lots. Feeders were nominal at $3.75 to $4 50-

THE Willard elopement is fruit
ful topic Of gossip, and it is this fact that
renders 1t most unfortunate.
The saddest feature of such sensations is
their tendency to beat down the barriers
that shield from publicity and notoriety
the most sacred aud most secret affairs of
life.
This case presents all the features of tho
modern romance, and can scarcely fail to
end with forgiveness and benediction.
1t was to Miss Wizards credit il she
strovo to obey and bow TO tho decision of
her parents. 1t was to her credit if, find
ing this was moro than she could do, she
obeyed tho honest dictate of her heart,
even at so late moment.
If the lady's action was the result of q
long struggle and final triumph of love
over llial affection, of earnest impulse over
scnse Of duty, no one can be blamed.
The notoriety aud the disappointment of
the bridegroom are consequences much
to be regretted.
That such stories should be food for the
flames of scandal and gossip is much TO be
regretted, but surely lesson can be
learned even from this feature of the affair
that, properly accepted, can bear good fruit
