Good Weather, Low Prices and an Album
dance Contributing to Make Trade Brisk.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10.
The weather could not we'll be improved upon.
The prices at which goods are sold were certain
ly low enough and a stroll through the produce
markets will convince one that there is plenty
for all. Everything is cheap. is the common
remark, but beefsteaks and roasts. Prices on
this food never tumble, no matter how abundant
are crops, how rank the grain or how cheap trans
portation. Sugar continues firm. The fruit
season is not vet closed, and the probability is
that there will be a good trade for some time to
come. Roasted coffee in steady demand, but in
our market there is very little call for the green
bean. and it appears to be growing beautifully
less every year. But few OF the retail groceries
keep green coffee any longer. People have long
since discovered that the roasted article costs
them but little more than the green bean, and
then it is roasted more uniformly By those who
make a business of roasting. Syrups and mo-
lasses dull. Rice fairly active and steady.
Canned goods dull, and no Improvement in de-
mand can be looked for while the markets are
so well supplied with fresh fruits and vegetables
as is the case at present. Receipts of eggs are
increasing and prices are weaker, although not
quotably changed. Butter in large supply, the
movement dull. Irish potatoes are meeting
with better sale, prices are hrmer. In other
articles there is nothing new to note.
GRAIN.
The local situation is much the same as for
some days past. Prices, on light receipts, are a

Salt for the Throat.
The House hold.

The Household.
In these days, when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent,
and in SO many cases fatal, we feel it
our duty to say a word in behalf of a
most e%ffectual, if not positive, cure
for sore throat. For many years past,
indeed we may say during the whole
of a life of more than forty years, we
have been subject to a dry, hacking
cough, which is not only distressing to
ourselves, but to our friends and those
with whom we are brought into bust
ness contact.
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there vas in common salt.
We commenced by using it three times
a day-morning, noon and night. We
dissolved large tablespoonful of pure
table salt in about half a small tum-
blerful of water. With this we gargled
the throat thoroughly just before meal
time. The result has been that during
the entire winter we were not only
free from coughs and colds, but the
dry, hacking cough had entirely dis
appeared. We attribute these satisfac-
tory results solely to the use Of salt
gargle, and most cordially recommend
a trial of it to those who are subject
to disease of the throat. Many GER
IONS who have not tried the salt gargle
have the impression that it is unpleas-
ant, but after a few DAYS use no per-
o who loves a nice. clean mouth and
a first-rate sharpener of the appetite
will abandon it.

that relate to their connection with the
Russian Empire. The task Of the
Princess is, however. an easier one
than that undertaken by her imperial
sister. She will doubtless be able to
do much in securing the love and 10y

therefore for England. She has done
much already in securing the applause
and good will of the Irish people by

Matt Carpenters Memory.
York Graphic.

New York Graphic.
A most remarkable memory was ex-
tinguished when Senator Matt Car
penter died, four years ago this spring.
Wisconsin was right in mourning for
him. He was the only man of phe-
nominal intellect she ever produced.
Granting. as was claimed by some,
that some of his supposed Inspiration
came from unremitting toll over a case,
there is still much to be explained only
on the basis of wonderful gifts of mem
DRY. All who were present at the
time will remember (others a read
1T in the published reports) how he met
the fire of the Supreme Bench
with citations when he made his fa-
nous argument against Returning
Boards before the Electoral commits.

PEELED to read or that memorable night
by the aid of a candle he held in his
left hand. In a short time this became
tiresome and inconvenient, so he placed
the candle and his books one side with
a gesture of impatience, md launched
forth in the bark of memory. 1t was
q great exhibition of his astonishing
powers in that line. A friend Of his
once told me an incident going to il
lustrate the marvellous command he
had over the books in his law library.
Mr.. Carpenter had just returned from
a six months absence in Milwaukee to
his office in Washington, and had not
been there mor than half an hour
when the friend called. He found the
senator rather weak from his Journey.
but still cheerful enough. After the
usual compliments of the day had been
passed. the senator relapsed into 81
lence and dropped his head on his
breast in a fit Of meditation. After a
pause of several minutes he called the
colored boy of the office with-.sTom,
