THE BOUNDING Bison. The head OF
an enormous buffalo bull graces the
office of District Attorney Orr. the gift
of j. L. Rewey, and is the wonder
of all beholders. The impression con-
veyed to one upon first glance at the
object is that it is the head with buff
falo robe thrown over it. The woolly
coat covering the entire head, superior
ly, is of wonderful length an thickness,
fully six to eight inches, and a heavy
black beard fully as long depends from
the chin. When bounding over his
native plains, in all his pristine friski-
ness, this representative of fast-heet-
ing species Of noble game, could not
have been other than terror to the
foe. His cephalic appearance is savage
enough at present, in all conscience, as
he rests in large armchair with his
throat boarded up in the rear and a
baleful CLEAN in his glass eye. To the
student of natural history it is q rare
and pleasing sight. and one which will
amply repay visit to see.

COM NJ ERCIAL.
OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

cHIcAGo. October IL, 1885
There has been received 80, 749 bush
els Of wheat within the past 4S hours.
The receipts of wheat for the past week
at this point was 50s,7S2 bushels, and
shipments for the same time was 24l,-
4i5 bushels Farmers deliveries last
week was 10000 bushels mere than the
week previous. There is a great amount
of speculation on the wheat market at
present, but the real situation has not
essentially changed.
Corn shows unmistakable signs of
strength this month. Our receipts are
not large and the shipping demand re-
mains good. The probability is that
the market for this month will be more
or less irregular and iitful until the
close, but as soon as the new crop gets
dry enough TO grade, all uncertainty in
regard to corn will disappear, and we
i shall have normal market again.
Oats are trifle easier and quiet. Rye
sells sparingly, but prices are the same.
Barley is quiet.
Market for choice butter firm and
with fair demand; other grades quiet.
Eggs sell well with firm prices. Pota-
toes are weaker-ot offerings larger.
Poultry steady.
Cattle market fairly active and prices
strong; shippers and packers taking the
largest share OF the supply. Tho hog
market opened rather dull but towards
the close advanced cents all around,
with the demand about equal to the
supply. Demand for sheep is fair and
prices steady.

Dubuque Herala: The papers have
been dumb about the Sarteris matter.
The truth is that the only reason why
the separation has not been complete
between Nellie Grant and her husband
has beer because of her inability to OBJ
tain possession OF her three children.
Sartoris has been brutal in his treatment
of her and she does not want to live
with him. Ii tho ehildien ever get to
this side of the water they will never be
allowed to go back again. II Mrs. S2r-
toris gets possession of them she will
PROBABLY. after the mourning in the
Grant family ends, bring snit for d.
yorce from the brutal, unappreciatiye
creature she married. Tbeis marriage
was the regret of Grants life. This is
not gossip. but plain statement of
fact.

Villas AND THE POSTAL CLERKS. -
Mr.. j. w. Hughes, postal agent on the
Chicago & Northwestern road. writes
from this city to the Milwaukee Senti-
mel, under date OF Oct. 10, as follows:
81 see that an article in your paper of
Sept. 80, as to the talk between Post
master General Villas and Route Agent
Hughes, is being quite extensively pub
lished by other papers. The misrepre-
sensations of that article are SO gross
that | ask to have correction of them
published. 1t was not, between myself
and Gen. Villas, understood that the
substance of the conversation was TO be
communicated to all postal clerks
through the medium of the newspapers,
and there were no arrangements made
to have the interview published nor
did he make any pledges to retain mail
agents in office if they would attend
to their duties and not NEEDLE in poll
tics in the future. The only assurance
he gave at that time was simply what
had already been published in The
Postal Guide of last May. and also in
newspapers at that time, to this effect:
That all mail agents who were efficient
and valuable men and who
had not turned their attention to politi-
cal labor during their service. need
have no fear of being disturbed On
arriving at Milwaukee, / refused to be
interviewed by reporters, lest should
be misrepresented as to what was said
to me by the postmaster general.
Whatever has appeared in any news
paper, contrary to the above. is wholly
without foundation 10 fact.n
