OUR CMICAGO MARKEr REPORT
CHICAGO, July 81. 1886.


The leading markets are active but
unsettled. Corn is at present receiving
the principal attention. and consider
able excitement prevails and larger
volume Of business is transacted Bad
crop reports and continued large out
side orders strengthen the price of
corn. Wheat is active at irregular and
lower prices. Oats are selling freely at
slight decline Rye is fairly active
and easier, while barley is firm and
higher. Green fruits, berries and veg
etables are in fair request and prices
are shade lower. The cattle and
sheep receipts are keeping well ahead
of last week, but the hog receipts show
large falling off. Thus far this month,
compared with the corresponding lime
last year, receipts show an increase of
1900 cattle. $4,000 hogs and 10000
sheep. This is a big showing for July,
and many consider that dry weather
rather than large supplies is the cause
of the increase. Cattle are active at the
recent decline, which is 20 to SOC lower
than last week. The export demand is
small. Hogs, although in smaller sup
ply, are weaker, as buyers are indiffer-
ent. Sheep sell freely at higher prices.

1t is fortunate that the House was in
duced to appropriate SS50,000 for dy-
Mantle gun-boat. One of these small
vessels can do more damage in few
minutes than a SS,000,000 leyiathian
iron-clad can do in week. The boat
runs at railroad speed and is provided
with pneumatic gun throwing loaded
projectile which explodes upon impact
a charge of from two hundred to five
hundred pounds of dynamite or ex-
plosive gelatine. which is more terrific
in its effects than the ordinary dynamite.
These projectiles can be thrown mile
at the rate of one minute. This APP
paratus is the most formidable of mod
ern war machinery, and half dozen
vessels carrying one pneumatic gun
each would, with the steel cruisers now
building, give us q pretty respectable
naval nucleus.

The author, Mr.. p H. Dudley, civil
engineer of rising reputation, has for
several years been studying the structure
of those woods most commonly en-
ployed in the arts, with reference to the
agencies concerned in their deteriora-

put quite a different aspect from the
generally accepted one on the process of
decay, and promise to be of vast indus
trial Importance in their practical appli-
cation.

relative rights of the CLASSES and the
Masses" for, in England, q rich man
can multiply his votes according to his
wealth in different constituencies, and
rich men have from two to six votes

ton took office there were 1887 post
masters in that state, and to-day 2,o33

were caused by death. That seems
to be something very like a .clean
sweep by the reform administration,
pledged to remove only for good and
sufficient cause, entirely outside of

The home rule demanded on this side Of the
Atlantic is by Nova Scotia, Prince Edward
Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland
Nova Scotia claims, however, u have the
greatest grievance, which can only be salts
fed by repeal of the union with Canada and
annexation to the United States.
By glance at the map it will be seen that
no portion Of the peninsula of Nova Scotia
reaches as high latitude as the state Of
Maine; that is, this state shuts off the inter
course Of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
from direct eastern communication with the
markets in the rest of Canada, unless they
carry their products by an all water route
northward, and then down the st. Lawrence
river. They are shut out from their natural
market in the United States by the tariff, and
here is where the shoe pinches and where re-
lief would come by annexation.
Nova Scotia was settled originally by
Frenchmen, under which it bore the name OF
Acadia. These simple, slow-going people,
whom Longfellow has immortalized in verse,
were supplanted by stolid Englishmen, and
during the present century by staid Scotch
men. The present generation of Nova
Scotians are largely descendants of these set
tiers. They stick to their primitive methods
of doing most everything, even to the grind
ing of the grain and the tilling of the soil, as
shown in our illustrations They care little
how the world wags around them and are
conservative and block to liberal or repeal
legislation.

But after twenty years trial of the con-
federation, during which the taxes have been
piling higher and higher and the commerce
and industries of the country have been sink
ing lower and lower, the Nova Scotian has
at last awoke to the necessity of repeal of
the union with Canada, and he isas persistent
in his demands for justice as he was hereto
fore dogged in clinging to the existing law.
They have recently elected local assembly
overwhelmingly in favor of home rule, and
many of their prominent men declare that il
their request is not granted they will apply
for annexation to the United States.
Many paragraphs Of the numerous peti-
tions that have been forwarded to both the
Canadian parliament and to England, recall
similar complaints Of the American colonies
prior to the revolution As far back as 1867
the Nova Scotia assembly passed the fol
lowing:

having assembled for the purpose of con-
structing an administration, cannot separate

a Mormon elder, but she eloped with a

went to New York, where he worked as

came blind, and she sang in concert
saloon there and supported her husband
to whom she was devoted. Then she
lost her voice by sickness, and the two
were likely to starve. They drifted to

young, grinds wheeEy hand organ day

THE GOVERNMENT Dixie ABOVE MARIETTA
Just above Marietta we passed the long
sweeping wall of the government dixie, which
has been built by the department of naviga-

would be practically closed at this point for
