CHICAGO. July 2.-Very little interest
was manifested in trading on Change to-
day. The dullness was attributed to the
approach Of the national holiday. During
the middle session the bears, discerning
some signs Of weakness in the wheat mar
ket raided it, carrying prices down lc,which
developed some activity and brought out
some long wheat, but the feeling remained
moderately steady in tone. In the after
noon it was stronger, the market closing
for the day about &c under yesterday.
Flour-Quiet and unchanged. Wheat -
Feeling weaker and prices lower, under
rather heavy offerings, largely due to the
report that u cargoes of Russian wheat
had passed the Dardanelles; the market

ELIZABETH ZANE,


This dauntleSs pioneer maiden's name
Is inscribed in gold on the scroll Of FAM;
She was the laSsie who knew no fear
When the tomAhawk CLEANED on the lar frontier.
N deeds OF daring should win renewn,
Let US honor the damsel Of Wheeling town,
Who brayed the savage with deep disdain-
Bright-eyed, buXom Elizabeth Zane.
Twas more than hundred years Ago,
They were close beSet by the dusky foe;
They hal spent Of powder their scanty store,
Aud who the gauntlet should run Tor more?
she Sprang TO the 20 tai and shouted, al:
4 IS better girl than a man should die;
My loSs would be but the gaSriSon'S gain.
IUtsr the gate" said Elizabeth Zane.
The powder was sixty yards away,
Around her the foemen in ambush lay;
As she darted from shelter they gazed with awe,
hen wildly shouted, "A Squaw % "a squaw!"
she neither Swerved to the left or right.
Swift rs an antelOpes was her flight.
ECU cS! Open the door" she cried, amain,
For hope forlorn! It's Elizabeth ZaneI"
No time had she to wavrr or wait,
Back she must 90 ere il he too late;
She Snatched from the table its cloth in haste
And knotted It deity shout her waist,
Then filed il with powder-neyer, 1 veen,
BAD powder so lovely a magazine;
Then, scorning the bullets, deadly rain,
Like a startled fawn, fed Elizabeth Zane.
She gained the fort with her precious freight;
Strong hands fastened the oaken gate;
Brave mems eyes were sufused with tears
That had there been strangers for many years.
From flint lock rifles again there sped
'Gainst the skulking rcd skins a storm Of lead,
And the war, whoOp sounded that day in vain.
Thanks To the deed OF Elizabeth Zane.
Talk not to me OF Paul Bevere,
A man, on horseback, with naught 10 fear;
Nor Of old John Burns. with his bell-crOwned hat
He'd an arnly 10 back him, So what Of that?
Here's 10 the heroine, plump and brown,
Tho ran the gauntlet ii Wheeling town;
Here is a record without 4 stain
Beautiful, buxom, Elizabeth Zane.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
Mechanical Development a Character of
the Nation.

Our great fear as to the industrial future
of this country, in its inevitable rivalry
with the United States, lies in the more per-
feet organization of our competitor. The
American is par excellence mechanical in
ventor. His natural ingenuity, fighting
against the artificial enhancement of prices
resulting from tho prevalent fiscal system,
has driven him to seek relief in mechanical
assistance. He has compensated for dear
ness of material in cheapness of production.
Every workman in every manufacturing
centre is stimulated to study and master the
machine under his charge, with view to
improving it. Mechanical development is
part of the character Of the nation. We may
be sure that the country which produced
the grain elevator, the oil pipe pumps, ma
chine-made watches, the high-speed print
ing machines, the ring frame and other in
yentions without end, will develop still
greater powers under the stimulus OF O
growing export trade. Where shall we be
then? The relations also between the capt.
tallst and labor classes in the States are
more of nature to encourage production
and to develop the capacities of rising gem
erations. Greater attention is given to the
physical and moral we'll being of the Ameri-
can artisan than is considered to come with
in the sphere of duty of the British or Euro
pean manufacturer. A certain spirit of
emulation pervades the laboring classes on
tba otbar aida of the Atlantic in the place
of the levelling down to general average
which prevails in this country. The Ameri-
can artisan works for himself, knowing that
his success will be recognized and encour-
aged. He seeks to rise and his industry
progresses with him. London Globe.

POETRY.
In a Hammock.

IN u 1AuAmocKs
oh, sweet It's to swing in hammock meath
trees,
And feel the soft breath of the summers light
breeze,
with a jug to dip into or not, as you please,
Where claret and soda commingle;
You've got cigar. how it soothes, 'twixt your
lips,
And round you an angel In petticoat trips
And pops In the lemon, emitting the pips,
Till you're sad at the thought you are single.
When Horace, In old days, exclaimed to his
boy,
That linden-bound chaplets could give him no
Joy,
l should think not, indeed, what a singular toy,
And bid him look out for no roses;
He never had known of a hammock, I'll swear,
Or he'd surely have mentioned the fact to de-
clare
How well he could swing in all luxury there,
Mid pleasant venusian posies.
You feel quite at rest, though the world has beer
hard,
And you know that you're not such wonderful
bard
AS you thought in your youth, e'er your brow
had grown scared
BY times irrepressble fingers;
And you idly reflect on some more foolish verse,
Soft sentiment mingled with epigram terse,
That may win you applause and put tin in your
purse,
Wherein It unfrequently fingers.
Then here's to the hammock, and peace that it
brings,
To him who in height of tbs summertime swings,
While the bird on the branch that hangs over
him sings,
And the river runs on TO the ocean,
I think that 1t would be most pleasant, don't
you,
lust to lie at your ease all the summer through,
And swing in hammock with nothing to do,
Save rejoice In the exquisite motion.

ACTORS WHO NAVE MADE MONEY.
Some Who nre Very Rich and Some Not
Worth a Dollar,

In spite of enormous salaries actors and
actresses receive, there are very few who
when out of an engagement are not at their
wits ends to know how to live. The lavish
manner in which they spend money when
they have any, and their poverty when cir.
eumstances are against them, have become
proverbial. But still there are several
prominent on the stage who are not impro.
vident and who have been for years quietly
amassing fortunes. One of the wealthiest
members of the profession is Lolita. She is
reputed to be worth between $3.50, 900 and
S500,O00. When she first entered the pro-
fession she had great difficulty in keeping
her money. Somehow or other it all went
and frequently she was in great straits.
GRADUALLY, however, she acquired business
habits and then with care she made hei
fortune. She has money invested in Va,
riety of ways, in bonds, stocks, real estate,
and in fact almost everything that will pay
Fanny Davenport has always been careful
OF her money, and has amassed fortune of
from $4,000 to 100000, and is making
more very fast. If recent reports are true,
some of it is invested in dramatic paper
in this city. Minnie Palmer is another who
has accumulated wealth. She has a great
fancy for diamonds and will gcome on the
stage almost covered with them. Report
says they are worth nearly 100000. The
Cleveland gem which she recently purchas-
cd cost $4,000. She is worth about
quarter of million. Mrs. Langtry has
only to step on stage and she literally
picks up money, and when she gets hold OF
it is very careful about taking care of it.
How mneh she is actually worth is not
known, but she is constantly investing
money in New York real estate and one oc.
casionally hears of $4,000 having been
lavished on her in the shape of presents, by
some admirer who has more money than
brains. Emma Nevada, the young Ameri-
can prima donna, although only having re-
Gently made her debut, is quickly piling up
wealth. When in this country she received
$1,000 for each performance in Italian
opera. Adelina PATHS wealth is fabulous.
She has attained the highest notch in the
operate profession and can now command
$5, 900 for q two hours performance. She
must be rolling in wealth. Only recently
she paid 5000, 900 to be rid of her late hus
band, the Marquis de Oaux, and has offered
$4,000 to Nicolini's wife to let him 90 too,
so that she may have him all to herself.
She owns large number of jewels has n
cattle and estate in Wales and travels about
in the richest style possible. Lillian Rus
sell is perhaps ms badly of MS any of tho
conspicuous ones. She has received q great
deal of money but it has slipped away like
water. 1t is said that she hos debts with
out end. Rose Coghlan, although not one
of the very wealthy ones, has good stock
hid by for rainy day. Rose may have to
use some soon if she attempts to carry out
her starring mania. Henry e. Dixey
(Adonis) is one of the latest to acquire
wealth. He is almost coming it, but by all
Appearances it will not last long. He
spends his money like a millionaire.
