FoR week following the LIST inst, there
was great change Of temperature, the pre-
vious summer-like weather giving place to
cold almost as severe as is known in Texas.
On Sunday morning at 9 O'Clock the mer-
curry stood at 16 o above zero, and we think
it must have been colder during the night
previous. The turnip tops and the roots to
some extent froze in the ground, and fears
are entertained that the growing crop Of
small grain is also injured. but we. hope
such is not the case. So sudden and ex-
treme change was hard to bear, and Gre
ated great demand for fuel and overcoats.

Price Of
Paying Commissions.

The commission question is rapidly coming to
the front Railroad managers are discovering
that it is big leak in earnings and that the
roads which pay commissions are practically at
the mercy of impulsive young men who are look
ing out for themselves The railroad editor of the
Boston Advertiser has been looking into the
matter and states that he has seen enough to
discover that vicious system exists among all
railroads, which is the most fruitful source of
undertaking and which is fast educating the
public to expect reductions If asked for. Men
ton was made in the journal of Wednesday that
one Indianapolis agent in July received $45O OF
commissions in fact all agents, favoraby located,
make very handsome thing outof these com
missions. It is said that there Is one IN New
York whose income cannot be less than $l5, 600
year, and it may be twice that. Some two years
ago the Pennsylvania people undertook to put
stop to the paying of commissions, but owing
to a lack of harmony in the movement between
the moro important roads, the proposition fell
through; but It is now again commanding atten-
ton The Boston Advertiser says; 1t cannot
require much reflection on the part of railway
manager to convince him that, while this ma
chinery is convenient if he wishes to cut, 1t
is dangerous if he wishes to do business
on business principles its effects are only
evil, Perhaps no concerted movement can
be had for dispensing with paying commissions,
and it is too much to expect OF most
roads to do it unless others do; but investors IN
railroads are entitled to be protected against not
only the destruction of earnings, but against SO
large leak as the commissions themselves.
After copying an article on rate-cutting, which
appeared in the Indianapolis journal OF recent
date, the Advertiser says: 1T will be seen that
the evil has become great and grievous Stock
holders and bondhoders are the sufferers; q very
few buyers and sellers of tickets are the only
people benefited, and they are more damaged
morally than profted financially, and it is time

Return of the LepeF Fraud to His Native
Sand Hills.

Return of the Leper Fraud to His Native
Sand Hills.
San francisco Post
A representative of the Post saw Dr. @. G.
O'Dennell on the west hound train yesterday.
The great leper sharp was returning from the
East, where he said he received an ovation the
equal Of which had never been rendered to any
living man in the United States since John
Smith was reeeived by the native niggers in the
primeyA forests some time since. The Doctor
was plumb full of leprosy-that Is, talk about it,
for it is quite improbable that he ever was close
enough to a ieper to catch the disease. Upon
being asked where he got the lepers he said he
had had East, he went into n minute descrip-
ton Of the locality, which left the listener
as wise at the end Of the story as he had
been at the beginning. It was something like
Launcelot Gobbo's direction TO his father: Turn
upon your right hand at the next turning but at
the next turning of all on your left marry, at
the very next turning turn of no hand, but turn
down indirectly TO the Jews house, He told
some fabulous stories about hts experience In
the East and had there been q Desdemona with

when she heard what escapes he had had from
death by food and field, and danger of being
eaten up by the vofacions Iepers; Of his capture
and incarceration in the dungeons Of the different
municipalities Of the wild land that lies beyond
the Rockies; and Of his safe return again to run
for coroner 1t was q romantic and beautiful
tale, but unfortunately for the reIator, it was
told IN California to one who knew
him. In Kalamazoo it would have
laid out the whole population cold At
Sixteenth-street station there was a
rush made for the cars by three women with
two babies, to meet some friends who had re-
turned from the East It is needless to tell the
reader that three women and two babies can
make so much noise when they are engaged in
the business of welcoming their friends, that one
might suppose popular uprising for the pur-
pose of hanging the meat ring and running the
board OF supervisors out of town had occurred.

published / sent it to very intelligent and
well-posted Democrat friend of mine, living in
Grant county, and asked him to do me the ia
Won as an old friend, of returning to me his
estimate of its merits as a literary production;
as truthful statement of the claims of his
party to the honor he assumed they wero en-
to which he referred; also, as to the fairness of
his arraignment of the Republican party. He
was not long in returning to me his answer,
which will not attempt to give in detail, but
his conclusion was as follows:
is humiliating me to have to confess that
a man whom have hitherto regarded as gen.
tleman Of profound research and great scholarly
ability one who has been my choice as q
member of the United States Senate from the
great State of Indiana; who has been put for
ward to sound the keynote of the campaign for
the party with which have acted so long, must
stand accused before every intelligent man and
woman of being contemptibly ignorant of the
legislation of his own State, of the position his
party as taken upon questions he attempts to
discuss, wholly unaequainted with the history Of
the transactions to which he refers,
or else he is an internal dem
agogue. / am disguised with his speach

Danclng a Chautauqua.

Letter in Pittsbdrg Dispatch.
The Yale Glee Club gave concert on Friday
afternoon. Mr.. Adler's MARBLE was exceedingly
sweet and smooth, and Mr.. Joness whistling was
excellent But imagine the amazement Of Chau-
tauqua when, during the singing Of 20, who was
George Washington" these frisky youths paused
and deliberately, and with malice pfepense, pro
eeeded to execute clog step on Chautauqua's
platform.
This question Of dancing has produced some
queer results here this summer OF course, the
face of Chautauqua is set like flint against
this device of Satan. In the early part of the
season Mr.. Frank Lincoln, a clever impersonator
and imitator from New York, gave series of
entertainments, in one of which he initiated a
Chinese serenade which he heard on the boards
of a San Francisco theater This was terrific
shock to Chautauqua, as it introduced little
skip from one side of the platform to the other.
Then, later, the ladies quartet from Meadville,
Pa, sang a waltz song by Dudley Buck, and
received an anonymous letter telling them they
had committed a great impropriety in singing of
of dancing, and thus shocking the preiudiees of
Christian people,
