BRITISH GRAIN TRADE.

LONDON, Jan. l9.-The Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review of the British corn trade
says: The changeable weather during the
past week somewhat retarded farming opera
tons. The demand for native wheat slack
ened materially, and values were maintained
with difficulty. Sales of English wheat for
the week were S2,S91 quarters at 34s I'd,
against $3.50 quarters at 3ss Cd the cores
ponding week of last year. The -four mar
ket was steady throughout the week. Fine
grades of barley continue to advance, but
ordinary grades are upimproved. The mar
ket for foreign wheats is slow and dragging
and disappointing to sellers. Foreign
flour was somewhat steaGier, owing to
the idea of smaller output at great milling
centers in lakeside districts of America will
lesson the exports. Maize in restricted sup
ply and spot values nominal. Malt and bar
leys and Canadian peas higher. In cargoes
oil cost there was one sale, leaving the
market bare. Owing TO the adverse winds
the market for cargoes forward opened strong,
but closed weaker in the absence of actual
inquiry. Quotations nominal. To-day the
wheat trade was at standstill. Flour steady.
American maize lower, and round corn
dearer, owing to scarcity.

Among the crown diamonds recently on
exhibition was jewel false, at least in part.
II seems that Empress Eugenie wanted, one
day, to appear with eclGt at one of the Jetes at
the Tuileries. Some unmounted diamonds
aud fine stones were borrowed from the
crown casket After being carefully de-
seribed and weighed, they we're sent 10 a very
skilful jeweller, who, by adding some false
pearls, made in few days, splendid orna-
mant for the corsage. II was only a simple
design for jewel which was to be construct
ed later on, according 70 this model. How
ever, as each piece remained in IT'S place, the
Empress gave instructions not to take the
Jewels apart. The genuine piece, which would
have cost several million francs, was never
made. When the crown diamonds were In
veutoried, the experts chosen were not de-
ceived. They gave an estimate only on the
brillizuts and emeralds Of this ornament and
said nothing about the pearls in their report.
We have on exhibition in cur Office the pho
tograph Of this piece, about which there has
been recently good deal Of gossip.

CHICAGO, Jan. l9.-There was little to en-
gage attention in financial aud trade circles
to-day, business of all kinds being merely
nominal in character and quantity The
railroad situation, the grain situation and the
general business situation invite any amount
of representation, but warrant only a me-
dium amount Of present action and hence
there is prevailing disposition to wait and
see how things will turn out before embark
ing into any vigorous prosecution Of com
mercIal enterprises. The money market,
therefore, may be called inactive and steady.
New York exchange was quoted at par, with
only fair outside demand. Orders for cur
rency shipments were only medium, while
receipts were pretty good. Sterling exchange
was $4.s2h64.s6L The bank cleariugs

PRAYING FOR SHOES.
A True Incident.

On dark November morning
A lady walked slowly down
The thronged, tumGltuous thoroughfare
or an ancient seaport town.
OF winning and gracious beauty,
The peace on her pure young face
Was soft as the CLEAN of an angels dream
In the Gains of a heavenly place.
Her eyes were fountains OF pity,
And the sensitive mouth expressed
A longing to set the kind thoughts free
In music that filed her breast.
She met, by bright shop-window,
An urchn, timd and thin,
Who, with limbs that shook and yearning looi
Was mistiy glancing In
At the rows and varied clusters
or slippers and shoes outspread,
Some, shimmering keen, but OF sombre sheen,
Some, purple and green and red.
His pale lips moved and murmured;
But of what she could not hear,
And oft on his folded hands would fall
The round Of bitter tear.
''What troubles you, child?" she asked him,
In voice like the May wind sweet
He turned, and while pointing dolefully
To his naked and bleeding feet,
81 was praying for Shoes he answered,
Dust look at the splendid snowy
~ was praying to God for single pair,
The sharp stones hurt me so!''
She led him in musefnl silence,
AT once through the open door,
And his hope grew bright, like fairy ilsaa
That hickered and danced before
And there he was washed and tended,
And his small, brown feet were shod
And he pondered there on his childish prayer
And the marvellous answer Of God.
Above them his keen gaze wandered,
How strangely from shop and shelf,
Till it almost seemed that he fondly dreamed
or looking on God Himself,
The lady bent over, and whispered
''Are you happier now, my lads''
He started and all his soul flashed forth
In gratitude swift and glad.
"Happy?-Oh! yes II am happy"
Then (wonder with reveren e rife
His eyes aglow, and his voice sunk low
''PieaSe tell ms Are you GODS ,cife ?''

that he was struggling with burglars
and awoke in a cold perspiration. He
listened and thought he heard a stealthy
step coming along the veranda roof
under his window. The football sud-

sharp blinking sound, accompanied by
sneezing and spluttering. Silently the
young man slipped out of bed, got his
revolver from the bureau. cooked it,
and went to the window. Suddenly
throwing open the blinds he thrust his
weapon out, prepared to kill burglar.
Instead of midnight robber he saw

end terminating in stiff, erect tail and
the other in something that looked like

Cultivation.

It should not be forgotten that fre.
quent cultivation of the soil helps the
growth of crops very much. Cultiya-
ton is not for the sole purpose of kill
ing weeds, but to break up and loosen
the surface Of the soil and encourage
growth. In wet weather this causes
the ground to absorb the rain, and in
dry weather it helps the soil to retain
the moisture which it has accumulated.
These two facts are so well known and
have been so thoroughly established by
practice and scientific experiment that
farmers need have no doubt in regard
to them. Moreover, the cultivation
should be deep at first and in the mid
die of the row should be shallow after
ward. and so worked as to keep the
surface as level as possible. a. Z

youth. with careless glance of pity at
the young ladies, who of course could
not be expected to know everything that
a man knows. ''And of course you are
equally familiar with the life of Peter
the Hermit?,' continued the old gentle
man. II should say that I was, re-
piled the young man quickly, but not
without slightly troubled look in his
face. ''And Semiramide," the old gen.
tleman went on, "you recall his famous

wishing that the old gentleman might be
struck with apoplexy as soon as con-
yenient. I'm glad you remember it, !"
said the old gentleman, with animation,
''for I've clean forgotten it. Now, if

Old Beliefs.

y
A remarkable instance Of the tenacity
of old beliefs among an ignorant class
lately occurred not very far from Cal
cutta. The idea that the British Gov
eminent always began every good work
with human sacrifice was long current
among the lower orders of the Indian
people, but it might be supposed that it
had died out long ago. 1t appears, how
ever, to be as strong as ever. The boat
men on the Ganges near Rajmehal
somehow came to believe that the Gov
eminent required 100000 human heads
as the foundation for q great bridge,
and that Government officers were 60
ing about the river in search of heads.
A hunting party, consisting Of four Eu-
ropeans, happening to pass in q boat,
were set upon by 100 boatmen, with the
cry of .'GuI1a Katta, or acut-throats,
and only escaped with their lives after
the greatest difficulty. The men were
arrested, and thirty-one of them SEN
fenced to terms of from one TO three
months imprisonment.

BULLYING.
How 1t Is Practiced in the British House
of Commons.


There is no ordeal of bullying more
severe than that of the House of Com
mons. Out of about $50 gentlemen
who would not incur the expense and
trouble of getting into Parliament if
they did not coYet distinction, there are
not more than fifty who achieve dis
tinction, and the rest-the 600-are
Silent voters. Why are so many
doomed to obscurity at Westminster?
How is it that not quite ten per cent. of
the members get the ear of the House?
On the average the silent 600 could
speak just as we'll as the talking fifty.
Nay, among the silent 600 are several
who prove by their speaking elsewhere
that they are better orators than most
of the fifty takers. 1t is the bullying
that causes their utter failure at West
minister. A very inferior member will
get the ear of the House if he is not
cowed by bullying, and the most
gifted member will be nobody
at Westminster if he is cowed
by bullying. How Lord Bea-
consfeld was bullied! The bullying
began with his first speech. and it
was continued almost to the end of his
career, do not refer to hostile criti-
cism, which, however unjust, vehement
and INSCRIPTIONS, is not bullying. l
refer to the sneering, jeering and inso-
lent yelping. How heroicallY he en-
dured it! He was not insensitive. but
he had the wonderful courage to ap-
pear impassive in the hour of defeat,
and to seem Indifferent to the singing
of ungenerous and ungracious inso-
lence. 1t is to be observed that he
had not the advantage of a public
school training, but he was one of those
rare men who triumph over disadvan-
tages. Oh, silent six hundred, if you
had 1.-THE of the capacity of Benja-
min Disraeli to endure bullying, at
least $50 of you would be takers.
Oh, what boon that would be to the
nation! Then only the necessary bust
ness of the country would be done,
and we should be spared any more doc
toring and tinkering. - TinSley's MagG-
