Mr.. Hoyt devoted few moments
to meditatio n,and then bis attention

he didn't know but it was some of
her teeth that needed Glling.
They were both mad at tho in
/ situations Of the other, and the
bride leaned on tho window nni
cried, while the groom looked the
other way, and acted cross.
Mr. Hoyt was very much annoyed
at the smell.
Tho smell remained, and people
all around him got up anl went to
the forward end Of tue car or to The
rear, and there were dozen empty

The conductor got one sniff aad
said
"Whoevor has got that piece OF
limberger cheese in his pocket will
have to go in the cmigrant car ~
They looked at Hoyt, aud the
conductor went up to him aud ask
ed him if ho didn't know any better
than to be carrying around such
cheese as that.
loyt said ho "hadu't got no
cheese
The conductor insistel that he
had, and told him to turn his pock-
cts wrong side out.
Hoyt jabbed his hands into his
pockets, and felt something cold und
clammy. He drew his hand out
empty, turned pale, and said he
didn't have any cheese.
The conductor insisted on his
feeling again. and he brought to the
surface couple Of human ears, n
finger and thumb.
"What in tho name of tho Apos.

conductor. "Do you belong to any
canning establishment that sends
canned missionary to the heathen
cannibals ?"

in tho baggage-car, and he would
explain all ; aud as he passed by the
passengers, with both hands full of
the remains, the passengers were
ready to lynch Hoyt. He told the
conductor where he had been, aud
the boys had played it on him, and
the fingers and things were thrown
beside the track, whore some one
will find them aud think murder
has been committed.
Afterward Hoyt went into the car
and tried to apologize to the old
maid, but she would scream. Hoyt
would always rather go away than
have n woman scream.

The Men who Won Our Independence.

q, few and weak their number were,
a handful of brave men;
But to God they gave their prayer,
And rushed to battle then,
They left the plowsharc in the mold,
Their ilOcl<s and herds without a fold,
The sickle in the un~horu grain.

Aud mustcr'd in their simple dress,
For wrongs to seek stern 10 lrcss--

THE HARRISON FORGERY CASE.
Several Witnesses Testify that They Do Not
Believe the Defendant Wrote the Check.

The preliminary trial Of the colored letter
carrier, Alfred Harrison, last night, gave some
relief from the tediousness that has attended it.
The defendants attorneys took up their side of
the case, but after the examination of one or
two witnesses the wearisomeness of watching
the proceedings returned 1t did not require
more than one witness to tell the line OF defense
The first was James Deery, of the post
Office. who said no one called on Harrison at the
postofice the day the forged check was pre-
serted at the bank, and the day on which
Wheat says Harrison gave him the check Jas.
Carter and man giving the name of Barthlow,
of the same Office, gave like testimony
William G. Robinson. of light brown complex
ion, barber and money-lender by occupation,
said he was familiar with the handwriting of
Harrison He had let him have money on chat
tells. and had known him about two years The
writing of the check did not, in his opinion, favor
that of Harrisons. He did not testify as an ex-
pert, nor did Squire Glass, James T. B. Hill
Israel Klingensmith and William Stewart Each
one of them either thought, believed, or gave it
as his opinion that the check writing was not
Harrisons. Stewart, a letter-carrier of thirteen
years experience. plumply said, ut is not" Hill
was Harrisons law partner. and Stewart said he
offered Alfred his assistance. This was in an

THE COMMONWEALTH.

Louisville Leaf Tobacco Mhrkc-
Burley tobaccos have not varied a great
deal. but the market has been sustained by
holding back tobaccos of that type and
putting on the breaks the other types
which have been more generally wanted.
The sales have been spiritless at the very
low prices previously established, and the
only quotable changes are 25c. in medium
Tugs and leaf Other grades are quotably
unchanged. Fine leaf was not offered
While the changes of prices are slight
and most grades are well sustained, indif-
ference has been more extensively mani
tested by buyers than in several weeks.
Crop advices have been favorable. Ground
has been secured for the storage warehouse
which is to be erected to accommodate
the growing wants of the market, and it is
probable that building will soon be-
gin. 1t is estimated TO be a matter
of experience both in the cost of the
investment and in operating the storage
machinery, that money can be saved by
height as opposed to extent Of surface, and
the building will be probably nine stories
high. There are now probably 1900 hogs
heads of tobacco here in care of the ware
houses, besides about 5000 probably in the
hands of dealers-a total OF $1,000 hogs
heads. This is the largest stock ever held,
as it would be, If it were 5000 or 1000 hogs
heads less. We quote 1884 tobcccos as fol-
lows for full weight packaees:
