Encouraging for Business.

Bradstreet's Journal, in it's commercial
summary OF the 10Th says: The condition
of general trade is quite as favorable as that
mentioned at any previous date within sew
eralweeks past. The steadiness and strength
manifested by thedemand fordry goods and
for wooden fabrics have encouraged many
dealers at eastern distributing centers to
look for steadiness in the movement. 1t
may be added that the gain in the demand
for pig iron tends in some degree to inspire
the confidence manifested in various quar-
ters thata turnin the tide has at last taken
place and thatth increase in consump-
ton OF staple commodities may preserve
a steady growth. tt is a welcome sign
thatno boom isdiscernible in any direction
The Financial and Commercial Chronicle
OF the 18th says: The exchanges for five
days. as received by telegraph this evening
do not differ materially from the figures Of
the preceding period, the gain in aggregate
being So, 515,372. The comparison with
last year, however, is more favorable, the
increase in the whole country reaching 10. 4
per cent, while outside OF New York the ex-
cess is IA per cent.

Feeding The Steer.

A drunken countryman, who fire.

cts, gets on "howl." and never
leaves town as long as it lasts-was in
town last week with a load of oats.
Knowing his weakness, Marshal
Smart attempted to warn him, and the
following colloquy ensued:
Eyes" said the marshal, land YOU
are drunk again. The last time YOU
got drunk you never stopped till YOU
had slowed away whole beef steer

you intend to follow that with your

Sympathy for Riel in Manitoba.

T. i'd
Winnipeg Special: Overa thousand SYM
pathizers with Riel, embracing half breeds
and French Canadians for twenty-eight
miles around, held q mass meeting atSt
Bonniface to work up.sympathy for Riel
whose chances OF escape seem to be lessen-
ing so rapidly. The principal object is to
work up a feeling and secure a respite until
an appeal is argued before the privy coun-
Gil. Speeches were made BY Riels counsel
and other prominent French citizens. During
their delivery great excitement prevailed
among the crowd some OF whom shouted
that they would fight before they would see
Riel hanged. The speaker said if hanged,
Riels name would be handed down to his
tory as q martyr, while the names ofhis ac-
cusers would rot in. oblivion. Warning
language to- the dominion government
was used in case the sentence is carried
out. Unity OF the French in Canada
was strongly urged in order that such
a pressure might. he brought to bear at
OTTAWA as would secure a reprieve Lem
ieux, Riel's counsel, just returned, from Re-
gina, described the scene in Riel' S cell with
two children and his aged mother with
head bowed down with grief, clinging about
the prisoner, who was unable to move
about on account of {. ball and chain.
Great Indignation followed. John Carey,
a lawyer, said if Riel was hanged confeder-
alton was at an end Canada wanted no
more OF it. It is likely that other meetings
will be held soon. .

There was nothing out of the way

Matrimonial Speculation.

A curious light is thrown on pecu
liar kind of matrimonial speculation
by an effort that Edward Martin, g
wealthy director OF the New York Life
Insurance Company, is making to get
rid of his wife. Mrs. Martin, it may
be said, is also trying to get rid of her
husband, but only on condition that
ne planks down liberal alimony. She
had three husbands before she CAP.
tured the affections of Mr.. Martin, who
was then a widower with q couple OF
grown-up children, and was divorced
from each. It is her reasons for get
ting divorces which constitute The
popularity of Mrs. Martins matrimo-
NAL ventures that is if the story OF
her fourth husband be one of fact and
not fancy. The substance of it is that
this enterprising woman has been
habitually addicted to marrying men
OF means, with a special view to enrich
ing herself by acquiring part of their
property in the form of alimony. Her
modus opernadi has been to makeitso
hot for the husbands that they gladly
allowed her to get divorces on the
ground of abandonment and surrend-
cred part of their property to get rid
OF her. She has laid up snug little
sum OF money in this way, her fourth
husband says, and she wants to get
some more out of him. They had not
been married long when She made
things so lively that he had to turn
her out of his house, and she has
plagued him almost daily ever since
for the special purpose of making him
settle-that is, pay her literally to let
him alone. Marrying for money Is as
old as the hills, but habitually marry
ing to make money this way seems to
have touch Of novelty in it. Yet it
Is not quite as new as it may seem.
This Martin case reminds me Of one /
heard ofsome time ago that bears a
similarity to it. The third husband
OF a woman who was twice divorced,
getting generous alimony each time,
was living with her in fine style on the
very alimony she had obtained from
his predecessors. In other words the
two divorced husbands were support
ing the third husband of the woman
who had been the wife Of each. and
supporting her, too, as a matter Of
course. But if Mr.. Martin had taken
the trouble to find out something
about his wife's three divorces before
marrying her he probably would not

Must Keep out of St. Paul.

Portland Oregonian:. While at the post
office recently banker was asked by a
Cinnamon to read a letter, which he had
just received, to him. The letter was from
St. Paul, and was written in good English
and in good hand. The party receiving
it had written to friend in st. Paul stat
ing that he was out Unemployment, and in
quiring as to what the prospects for work
were there. The reply began as follows:
Dear Charley, don't come to this coun-
try; this is no place for Cinnamon White
labor is so cheap here that the Cinnamon
cannot compete with it. I am only just
able to make a living. II you can make

Creating a Sensation in Church.

Considerablecomm was caused
in the Church of the Heavenly Rest, in
Evona, N. j., recently by Josiah w.
Alcott, OF Philadelphia, who arose in
the course of the service and informed
the congregation that Miss Dashiell,
the organist, was his wife, and the
daughter Of the Rev. Dr.. Taylor, rec
tor OF the church. Mr.. Alcott's story
is asfollows: In 1879 Miss Nellie D.
Taylor, OF Camden, n. j., eloped with
him one night and they were married
in Philadelphia against her fathers
wishes. After they had been married
DR.. Taylor forgave them and furnished
them with a home in Camden, where
they lived for one year. After the
birth of her daughter his wife was not
well, and her father knowing that Al
colt could not afford to send her
away to obtain the needed rest,
sent her at his own. expense to
Niagara Falls. This, he says, was a
trick OF DR.. Taylor's to separate him
from his wife. <Alcott says that he
followed his wife to Canada and thence
to this city, to Ocean Grove, N. j., and
to Plaintield. Hesays that shechanged
her name to DashieH while she was in
New York to prevent him from finding
her. Recently he went to Plainfeld.
and succeeded in finding where Miss
Dashiell boarded. He did not inform
her OF his arrival, but secured a lawyer
from Philadelphia, and the next day
called on her for the purpose of secur-
ing a reconciliation: Mr.. Alcott re-
manned in the carriage while the law
yer went to the door, and as soon as
the woman learned his business, she
refused to have anything to do with
him, and left the room.
Alcott went to church on Sunday
morning, thinking that his wife was in
huenced by her father and would relent
If he could see her face to face. A
number otpersons had been informed of
his intention and the church was filled.
The matter caused much talk among
the members of the congregation who
generally sympathized with the rector
and his daughter. Their friends assert
that after DR.. Taylor had furnished
Alcott and his wife with a home, Alcott
failed to support his wife, and that DR..
Taylor was compelled to take her
away from him to save her life. DR..
Taylor owns a great deal of property
in Camden, and is held in high esteem
in Plainfeld.
Alcott says that he is after his wife
and child. He says that he was offer
ed $500 to allow her to obtain d.
vorce.
Mrs. Dashiell, or Mrs. Alcott, says
that Mr.. Alcott Can getredress in court
II he is wronged, but that he is afraid
to submit the matter to Jury. In
reply Mr.. Alcott says that he cannot
afford to hire a lawyer and stand the
expense ola suit.

The kohl rabi. or turnip-rooted cabb aga

bling a turnip in size and shape, from
which circumstnce the popular name
of turniprooted cabbage has been
derived. 1t is a vegetable that is highly
priced in Europe, and as it Is fast becoming
popular in this country, a few remarks ON it's
cultivation may not be out of place. In order
to obtain tender and succulent bulbs it is essen
tial that the plants should be grown quickly.

poor soil, the bulbs will be tough and inferior I'm

crop the ground should be properly and thor

well-rooted stable manure, and working it In
thoroughly with either the plow or fork.
Every care should be taken to incorporate the

the seed can be sown in drills about two or three
feet apart. Sow thinly, and as soon as the

July, in order to obtain a succession of teater
roots.
