CHICAGO, Marc 13.-Outside orders on Change
during the past eek have been very scarce and
the bulk of the J. Siness has been done by local
scalpers. wheai has ruled strong and weak by
turns. Daily fluctuations have not averaged over
&c, and after travelling over the same ground
great many times prices ere not materially differ
ent from those current seven days ago. 1t is a
typical March market, with the feeling nervous
and the crowd so thoroughly crammed with con-
iicting reports that nobody is willing TO venture
to have turned scalpers, and Wien small profit
or loss appears in a trade it is taken with the
least possible delay. If values should move2@3c
in the course of day it would set the trade
wild. Some crop damage reports are received
from Missouri, Indiana and Kansas, but until
crop conditions are more definitely known the
present this is for -four rather than wheat The
former can be laid down in Europe SO much more
cheaply than the latter, that it takes the prefer
enoe, and what grain goes out is mostly to the
continent. Millers are. however it is claimed,
drawing upon the invisible rather than the visit
show a much smaller decrease than the last The
recent Government report is generally considered
q bull argument, but nobody has ever made much
money by following Washington crop estimate,

When the towns were much smaller
And the country was new.
How the mails came on horseback,
Once aweek. past our door.
And were straightway delivered,
At the old country store.
There were dry goods and blankets,

There was ready made clothing.
Hats and caps, boots and shoes;
There were large candy apples,
Which were red to the core;
And tat candy babies
At that old country store.

There were no "Five-cent counters
In those glad days of yore;
And twas seldom purchased
At the old country store.
A cheap line OF hardware
Filled ND the back end:
And few crooked scythe-snaths,
With a natural bend,
Were kept in a barrel,
Which stood near the door,
With things large and small,
In that old country store.
There were needles, and thimbIes,

Live rats, and brisk flies:

All under one roof,

No. 15Oe.-A Strange Change.

A beautiful face, form full of grace,
Has society's much admired pet;
With costume replete, with ornaments neat,
She's adored whether blonde or brunette.
On firtations bent, her mind is intent
On how the most followers to gain,
With some artful vile, detain her awhile,
And from her costume detach the train.
All, magical changel ali, transition strange.
The fair maiden no longer we see,
But in the same place form We may trace,
Whose tones are heard over land and sea:
But the form is cold, no life does it hold
Though it speaks to the listening fair.
Exactly the same in sound is the name
That my first and second do wear.

The startling news is received that Fred
erlck A. Cover, husband of her who was
Miss Nsrton Of Pennington, Maine, who
was supposed to have been lost BY being
carried out to sea IN balloon, is alive and

brother of Judge Advocate General Lewis
Cover, Of the State militia Of Rhode L.

life as a newsboy then became a reporter
and subsequently, was news editor Of the
Providence Press. He left the newspaper

given Of the Bell telephone, and made for

He contracted with Prof Bell to deliver
lectures through the country, and a:tsrward

and he soon became the patentee of the
most important Improvements that have
helped to make the telephone so valuable
an instrument. Having satisfied his thirst
for discovery and invention in this direction
Cover set to work experimenting with ma
chinery for aerial navigation. His ideas
were found good IN many respects, but they
did not differ materially from many others
that had been tried in the Franco prussian
war. Finally, after many ascensions in diff
trrent parts Of France, at oil Of which he
claimed to be perfectly satisfied he made ex-
tenslvc preparations for ascending in a
monster balloon from Dieppe.
All Of his appliances for aerial navigation
we're adjusted. and the ascension took place
The machinery. however, apparently refused
to work as Cover had claimed that II would.
The wind was out to sea that day, and Cover
had persistenty argued that he could face
the wind, and that his air shp could 60 TO

The Shoemaker's Logic.

An old French shoemaker, who boastee
that nothing could frighten him, was put te
the test by two young men. One Of then
pretended to be dead, and the other going
to the shoemaker, induced him to sit uI
with the supposed corpse. The shoemaker
was in hurry for some work, so be took
his tools and leather and began work beside
the corpse. About one O'Clock, coffee hav-
ing exhilarated him, he began singing Q
lively tune, keeping time with his hammer
Suddenly the corpse arose and exclaimed in
a hollow voice:
"When 4 man is in the presence Of deati
be should not sing"
The shoemaker started, then suddenI,
dealt the corpse blow on the head, ex.
claiming at the same time:
"When man is dead be should moi
speak !"
1t was the last time they tried to scare the
shoemaker.
