hlN0AAS, AuSs y, ACoO.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
The rains and cool weather has
| worked wonders in mercantile circles.
Trade has thribbled with all the mer-
chants and everybody is smiling.
Even the forlorn real estate man has
been known to actually smile in the
past few days. He looks pleased. The
idea of his ever smiling again had
passed from his mind, and he has been
waiting for the end. The brightest
pen had no charms for him, he could
not even read, so down, SO broken
hearted. To-day may be all sorrows
and tomorrow all joys is the lot of
thou who deal in dirt. Buyers are
numerous and many sales are being
negotiated, and everything points for
lively fall trade. l will give it as an
opinion that from now on everything
will be bull movement, not only in
real estate but all kinds of grain and
provisions, in other words the tide
has turned for better prices all
around.
DIR. Yancy let his contract yesterday
for a two-storv brick and stone build
ing on Main street, just north of Ave
nue. A. 1t will be 25x1OO feet.
Ii was Senator f. NJ. Hewins, of
Cedervale, Has, that bought those
fine yearling heifers at Col. Colcord's
cattle sale last Friday and not Senator
Ed. Hewen, of Colorado, as the EAGLE
made my article read of August End.
The. sale amounted to sixty head in
Guiding some calves and the amount
realized was So, $50.
VIM. Wallace, Republican postmas-
ter of Battle Greek, Mich, is here on a
fifteen days leave of absence to look
after his sheep ranch near Bross this
county. He says the Democrats can't
agree upon man so he is likely to
hold over for a while at least. Mr..
Wallace was IS years old on yesterday,
as hale and hearty a gentleman as you
will find of his age in any country.
Thomas Shepard, a farmer living
south of Cleveland, this county, was
brought to Kingman this afternoon
and examined and pronounced insane.
This is the second time within a year.
He will be sent to the insane asylum.
VIM. Chillis was arrested and tried
to-day before Judge Sthrom and a
jury, for selling liquor contrary to
law, and was acquitted just as every
body supposed he would be and the
county put in for two hundred or
more dollars cost. Acting County
Attorney Chas. l.. Raymond had half
of the county subpoened as witnesses,
and from all parts of the county. The
farther of seems to have occurred to
him the better witnesses they would
make and consequently the more ex-
pense the county would be put TO.
Great heads some of the temperance
rcformers have. There are six or
seven more cases to Ne tried and all
will result in the same verdict-nOt
guilty-but the county attorney has
done his duty. C0 LEON.

cLEVELAND'S ORDER

Touching Cleveland's cattle order,
the banks of Kansas City, st. Louis
and Chicago deny having any interest
in the matter For those who know
no better, such talk will do. 'he
truth is, out OF The 100000 head OF
cattle booked and reported as on the
CHEYENNE and rapahoe range, the
banks mention .ere carrying large
amounts of paper Now for the Sc
crei of the scare among the bankers.
A large per cent. of these cattle were
through cattle, nearly or quite one
half of which died last winter. The
books and papers upon which the
loans were made show the number
each man turned on to pasture, but
not the number that turned up their
hoofs. The order of removal will de-
vclop the mortality Of last winter.

TRANSFERRED until the cattlemen could
have made the loss BY death good.

The increased use Of this flour is due to the

his pockets filled with railroad passes.
Indeed, this kind of man is almost be-
meath contempt, and if the state were
not full of such shallow idiots or pre-
tenders, we would be much more

About this time the conductor, a
new man, came through. ingalls, and
Waggoner handed out their big silver
dollars, Click looked at the conductor
and discovering an unknown man,
hesitated and seemed in doubt, until
being touched on the shoulder and his
fare asked, he slowly drew from his
pocket two round dollars and paid
cash. at the same time he had passes
in his pocket, a fact known TO several
about him. This was one AtchisOn

monopolists whom he SO feared. The

Matrimony In England.

New ORR .daii and ExpreSS.I
English girls seldom marry before the age
of 81 or 23 Some marry well at the age of
80. A marriage in England is not arranged
in few days, or even in q few months a
young man OF about 20 engages himself to
a young lady of. say Is, and the lovers re-
main thus engaged for three or even five
years. These are the woman's good times
During the engagement she enjoys almost
all the sweets Of married life without any OF
its troubles, and she is free. Sometimes shs
does her best to make the engagement last
as long as possible She prefers to murmur
words Of love to her betrothed to shutting
herself up with him in some emi-detached
cottage wherein he bemoans the high price
o. bread and butter AMI coal
On the day she is married she Is settled,
as they say in England; that means that she
is established l would define the word
settled" more correctly by saying that her
business is done for her. l do not wish at
all to convey the idea that woman finds no
happiness m the English household; nothing
is further from my mind l think, on the
contrary, she can enter it with more conf
dence than her sister across the channel, be-
cause she assumes much less responsibility
and because her mother has invariably
versed her most thoroughly in domestic
economy.
Women in England know nothing at all
about their husbands business. no more
than a clerk knows the private affairs OF
his employer; and it is even a diff
cult matter for her TO say whether
he is making a fortune or on
the verge Of BANKRUPTCY. When her
husband dies an English woman, who has
no fortune may become a governe,s, a
housekeeper or a nurs, That Is servituie.
An Englishman gives his wife so much n
month for household expenses, and so much
for her wardrobe-her wages, as it were.
She evinces no surprise when she learns one
fine morning that her husband is taking her
to sumptuous abode, nor when she learns
that they must move some evening in tho
dark without making any noise. She goes
with the furniture-in a double sense.
