CHICAGO. June lS.-There was Little moro
life apparent In the grain market, but busi-
ness was far from being active. A few orders
are now coming In and the local crowd shows
more courage, yet prices do not iluctuate
much and II there are slight advances they
are soon .oEt. Prices to-day are lower on
wheat and higher on corn.
No tradiugin pork futures whatever, while
lard Is very slow and values are slightly
lower for cash. Pork steady. Loose meats
fairly active.
Cattle receipts $500. The market was slow
and prices shade easier In all grades. Texas
cattle are in abundance and sold at from 8 40

Title to the Hot springs Property
Again In Litigation.


Again In Litigation.
Special 10 the Gazette.
Hot SPRINGS, June lS.-The old
original claimants to the Hot Springs
property, encouraged by recent
United States supreme court decision
which they deem favorable to their
claims, have brought suit against nu-
merous citizens and business men for
possession of property occupied by the
latter. These suits are against the se.-
Element of titles by the Hot Springs
commissioners sent down by congress
for that purpose two years ago. The
property thus clouded comprises the
main portion of the entire city. A
long petition signed by large ma
lority of the citizens was sent to con.
gress asking such legislation as will
forever settle the title.
Bruon, the crooked bank president,
succeeded in giving new bond and
returned to this city to-day.

The Value of ALASKA.

Senator ingalls,, of Kansas, is au-
thority for the ruthless and sweeping
condemnation of Alaska as ''the most
worthless territorial acquisition any
government was ever afflicted with. -
1t is certain to those who know much
about Alaska that 1T is not nearly the
worthless territorial acquisition" that
he brands 1t. In the first place, Alaska
is very large-larger than all that terri
tory which forty years ago was known
as the "Great American Desert"
whereof the State of Kansas is a part,
and forty years ago not esteemed more
highly than the Senator now holds
Alaska. In the second place, Alaska
has very valuable fisheries of salmon,
cod, halibut and king salmon, as yet
but little developed, but enough to in
dictate that in few years. with a suit
able government for that territory, they
will be worth as much as those Of New
Foundland and Nova Scotia, both for
food supply and the creation of a mer-
Of the Pacific. In the third place
Alaska is covered in many parts with
the best forests in the world.
Alaska has mines of gold, copper,
iron and coal, not much developed as
yet, but enoughto encourage the hope
that, after the gold mines south of
them in our country shall be exhausted
Alaska will become one of the greatest
producers of this metal in the world.
Its climate is on the coast less rigor-
GUS than that of Newfoundland, or
Sweden, or Norway, or the Baltic coast
Of Russia. There are good reasons for
the belief that wheat can be made a
profitable crop In parts of the Yukon
valley. And the cedars Of Alaska are
better and infinitely more inexhaust-
able than the famed cedars of Lebanon.
Such a country, covering as it does an
area of more than half a million square
miles. having a long coast line, good
harbors, many habitable islands, mines
of the precious and useful metals,
forests without end, fisheries and great
rivers, albeit its depths are as yet un-
explored, is not to be condemned out
of hand as the Kansas Senator con.
demnS it,
The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1884-03-01

The average visitor to the geological
gardens looks over the fence, sees horn
projecting in sort of oblique vicious
ness out of the door of shed, says:
"Ohl its only bull of some Sort" and
passes on. Sometimes, however, he
stops, for the bull, as he calls it, turns
out to be very large buffalo, and in a
very bad temper. The truth is that on
the other side of the fence is another
"bull," the sacred zebu of India, who
is also very much out of temper, and
the two ANIMALS being just able to sniff
at each other through a chink are tor
mented by a desire to get into the same
enclosure and fight it out. Now, Meth
er of them knows what kind of an ami
NAL is on the other side Of the fence.
The African buffalo has never seen an
Asiatic zebu in all his life. But that
does not matter to either of them. All
they ask for is no fence between them
and no favor. But as the society has
imported these animals at a large ex-
pense, and keeps them at considerable
cost, this is the one boon which the
combative animals should never expect
to have granted. They do not, of course,
understand this. The consequence is
that they make their lives burden to
themselves by butting and prodding at
the wooden palings, under the idea, no
doubt, that if they only go on long
enough the pailings will fall and they
will then be able to butt and prod each
other. Each in his way is great beast
quite apart from the generous spirit
in which they challenge unknown adj
versaries-and they represent together
one of the noblest families of wild ami
mails. They are the descendants of the
reem, the animal that had such wide
horns that Noah $50 the Talmudists say)
could not get it into the ark, and had
to tow it behind-and of the urls,
which Julius Cesar says was only a tri-
he smaller than the elephant. And to-
day they are the brothers of the Ameri-
can bison, ''the majestic brutes that
roam in herds which shake the earth, I"
and of the gigantic gore of the Indian
swamps. 1t is not true that the latter
snuff up chunks of stone with their
noses and then discharge them with the
force of catapults at those who attack
them, but it is beyond doubt that they
have no hesitation whatever in ''going
for" anything that stands in front of
them

''Plush is used to a large extent in
making picture frames," a frame ma
ker said, especially the smaller frames.
Some are made entirely of it, and some
have borders only. A fiat gold leaf
frame, with bands of silk plush next to
the picture, makes very pretty effect. :"
"What colors are most used2"
"Red and old gold, The red, how
ever, seems to be liked better. On the
small easel frames used for photographs
blue is also used. Oil paintings are
rarely put in frames with plush on them.
Engravings, water color pictures, and
painted china generally have plush
framing"
"What quality of plush is made
upP"
Chiefly good silk plush. Some very
common frames are made from cotton
plush, but their inferiority is too pal
pable to deceive any one. Squares of
plate looking-glass with bevelled edges
are set in plush frames. They are large
and small, and there are great numbers
sold. There are large establishments
where hundreds of them are made
daily. They are very snowy, and they
set off room even more than picture.
l don't believe that there has ever been
so much plush manufactured as there
is at present. Not only is 1t used fol-
frames, but for covers of albums, ladies'
