Fell Again,

The large Cleveland and Hendricks
Banner, stretched across Main street,
by the Cleveland and Hendricks
campaign club of this city, fell to the
street to-day for the third time. The
fall created considerable mirth among
the Republicans, and a venerable
official of the county who happened
to be in the neighborhood at the time
declared it a happy omen for the Re.
publican party. The Democrats
looked upon it in a different light,
and said the fail was caused by the
immoderate laughter of Cleveland
and Hendricks over the recent Multi.
gan letters, that loosened the guy
that stayed the banner. Mr.. Hutton
says be will secure it this time to
stay.

THE TRUCK MARKET.
closing OF the Peach and MELON season


There was marked falling off in
peach receipts yesterday at Baltimore,
only about 5000 boxes being landed
at Light street wharf. Prices were
shade higher and the stock was soon
taken. Some lots of common fruit
sold at from 40 to IS cents per box.
Good yellows brought all the way
from $l.25 to $3.50. A choice lot
from POOLS Island sold at $I.70.
With this week the peach season will
close; and, while the crop has been
short one, it is probable that growers
have realized as much if not more
than if it had been full one. The mar
ket has not been glutted at any time,
and good prices have prevailed. Sweet
pototoes arrived yesterday in smaller
quantities than for some days past,
but prices were the same as last
quoted, viz: 50 25 to $3.50 per barrel.
About 10000 watermelons were
brought up, and sold at from $40 to
$l2 per hundred. The receipts of
oysters were not very heavy, but
equal to the demand, and went at
from so to 60 cents per bushel for or.
binary quality. Some in barrels were
bought for restaurant purposes at
higher figures.

The Art Of Early Rising.

The proper time to rise, says the
London Lancet, is when sleep ends.
Doing should not be allowed True
sleep is the aggregate of sleeps, or is
q state consisting in the sleeping or
rest of all the several parts of the or
ganism. Sometimes one and at 9TH
er times another part of the body, as
q whole, may be the least fatigued,
and SO the first to awake, or the u.ost
exhausted. and therefore the most diff
ficult to arouse. The secret of good
sleep is, the physiological conditions
ofrest being established, so to work
and weary the several parts of the
organism as to give them proper
tionately equal need of rest at the
same moment; and, to wake early and
feel ready to rise, fair and equal
start of the sleepers should be secured;
and the wise self-manager should not
allow drowsy feeling of the con-
sciousness or weary senses, or an ex-
hausted muscular system, to beguile
him into the folly of going to sleep
again when once he has been aroused.
After few days of self discipline, the
man who resolves not to dose, that

his body to keep him in bed after his
brain has once awaken, will find him.

Investigating Turner s Death.

States Attorney Munroe, of this
county received letter yesterday
from Mr.. Thos. S. Jacobs, justice of
the peace at Jacobsville, in the third
district, in which lie states, in reply
to al inquiry from the States officer,
that the colored man Joseph Turner,
who was stabbed by John Williams,
colored, on the 25th of August, has
since died, and was buried. Turner's
death. he says, occurred about two
weeks ago. Magistrate Jacobs, who
committed Williams to Jail on the
charge of cutting Turner, asks the
States Attorney if an inquest into
the cause of death is necessary, and
adds that he does not suppose the
lateness in convening the coroner's
jury will make any material difference.
The States attorney thinks it strange
that the homicide was not reported
to him before by the magistrate, who
had every means of knowing the facts
in the case. The only official Motif.
cation be had received in the matter
was in answer to an inquiry Of the
magistrate concerning the published
rumor of Turner's death. The States
attorney has directed the magistrate
to summon an inquest over the body,
and on Thursday he and the sheriff
will personally investigate the
matter.

Boston Budget

OoIO ouOSOu
Many elderly citizens will remember
Tom Hancock in his day, some fifty
years ago, the handsomest young man
in Boston. He was q nephew of the il
lustrious John Hancock, and resided in
the old Beacon-street family mansion.
He was quite as noted for his BRACKETS"
as for his personal beauty. On one oc-
c%asion, when he had been on a weeks
spree, his relatives secured him in the
mansion house and hiding carefully his
clothing, so that he had literally moth
ing to wear" thought they had him safe,
high and dry. Tom, however, thought
differently, and madea thorough search
of the premises. He did not find any
his W clothing, but rummaging a
large antique chest, r~esurrected q full
suit of court regimentals which his IL
lustrious Uncle John was accustomed
to wear on state occasions. Arraying
himself in these, he slipped out of the
house and made his way to the we'll
known refreshment saloon of Corbet
Luddington-well remembered as cole
Lud's," on Water street where he was
we'll known and his credit unquestioned.
His appearance caused great sensation
in that locality.

Yankton congregational College.

Yankton Special: The association Of Con-
gregational churches of Dakota continued it's
session Saturday, 10th. The morning was
largely devoted to reports of committees while
the afternoon was devoted to the dedicatory
services of the Yankton college. This is the
pioneer college of Dakota, and one that always
promises to be the leading institution of the
state. Its aim is to be for Dakota what Garlic
ton college is for Minnesota. Though begin
ming only the third year of its existence, it has
nearly one hundred students, q fine building
large enough for present needs, an unusually
strong corps Of teachers and professors, all
young and enthusiastic, headed by President
Joseph Ward, for fourteen years pastor of
the Yankton Congregational church, the
k!ingsbury recently delivered an address, Civ
ing the history of the college. An effort was
made by the Congregational association to es-
tablish a Christian college eight years ago, but
success did come until May, 1881, when the
citizens of Yankton offered the association $12,-
UO to locate the college here. Speeches were
made by Judge Edgerton, several visiting
clergymen, DR.. Gilbert of Chicago, editor Of
the Congregationalist, DR.. Humphrey of Chi
cago and Prof. Tucker Of Andover seminary,
who recently delivered a fine address of dedi-
cation. All the speakers were enthusiastic
over what had been done and over the outlook
for the future.

The cholera scare in France has save

The cholera scare in France has saved
Americans millions of dollars, and en-
abled some of them to see something OF
their own country. The hotels of Paris
are said to be comparatively deserted.
Taking the four weeks in July, the a.
rivals were 1924, and the departures
$1,000, as against 1882 arrivals in
July last year, and 105, 014 departures.
Paris has thus had about $4,000 fewer
visitors in a single month than came to
her during the same period last year.
And yet there has been no real danger
in visiting Paris. The fear of detention
from quarantine has, however, made
travellers prefer resting at home and at
home resorts.

General Wolseley ofthe British arm,

General Wolseley ofthe British army,
IS arrived in r ygpt to take command
the military expedition up the Nile
r the relief of Khartoum, and it has
cen alleged that his Red river expe-
ition in 1870, when he subdued the
Winnipeg rebellion, gave him the ex-
erience necessary to success in Egypt.
General Wolseley's Red river expedition
,onsisted of four companies of British
ocular soldiers, who were transported
Q Thunder Bay, at the head of Lake
superior, in excellent steamboats,.
heir march from there to Winnipeg
yas along a fertile country, with good
rails for part of the distance, and nav
gable lakes and easy portages for the
:est Of the way. The march lasted but
twenty or twenty-five days; supplies
we're easily carried; they met no resist
ance; the entire hostile force against
which the expedition was directed con.
sisted of but a few hundred French and
Indian half-breeds under the command
of Louis Riel, a mere boy in years, and
but little better than q crank in other
respects; they all fed at the approach OF
the little British force. General Wolse.
~ has since distinguished himself upon
two occasions, where the difficulties to
be encountered were not very serious.
His present task is surrounded with
great obstacles, but there seems to be
but little doubt of his success among
his countrymen.
