INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Little Tame, the Lull but Tempo
approximations Satisfactory.


rary-Collections Satisfactory.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 4.
After the big trade of last week it is not sur
prisng that tameness should be characteristic
of the markets, with the opening of this week.
OF course the quetude will be of but two or
three days duration, as business is on too
healthy basis to admit of dullness long prevail
ing Genuine fall weather is the only needed
stimulant. In prices to-day there were but few
changes. The produce markets were little
sluggish, but prices were not affected. Poultry,
as well, is firm. Butter if choice, meets with
ready sale. The provision market presents
new features. In groceries there were no
changes of Importance. Sugars are steady at
our quotations. while coffees have taken on
steadier tone. The salt fish market continues
in a strong position This is to be a very bad
year for the New England mackerel fisheries.
No wonder the shippers are not disposed to be
very gracious to the Canadians. The seasons
catch to the end of last week was only 5S5H
barrels, against 258, 900 barrels for the same
time last year and 3I9,698 IN 1884: ''This
shows" says the Portland Press, "that there is
still deficiency of 10000 barrels as compared
with last year, and, as many of the vessels have
arrived from the bay ard others are on the way
home, there is no prospect of the catch running
over 100 0G0 barrels, and it may not foot up more
than $4,000 barrels, although the fish are now
reported large and plentiful on the Maine coast"
The future course of the money market. in
view of recent events, is attracting considerable
attention among financiers as well as those en-
gagged in commercial pursuits, not only because
1t is an important factor with respect TO COM
mercial prosperity, but likewise because it will
have direct bearing upon future legislation,
with respect to the currency and existing
system of national banks The construction of
new railroads and the expansion of industrial en-
terprise have, no doubt, absorbed very large
amount of capital that will remain permanently
invested, and therefore be taken out of active
employment then the increased volume of bust
ness has called into active use large amount of
the circulating medium that otherwise would
have been in ideness in bank vaults, and lastly
the rapid calling in of the government loans,
upon which the circulation of the national banks
is founded, has tendency to contract the cur
rency, by retiring the circulation of banks that
do not find it profitable to purchase and deposit
or Al per cent. bonds to replace those that have
been retired

The Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON, Oct 4-The Mark Lane Express,
in its weekly review of -. .1e British grain trade,
says; Trsde is dull and respondent, with no
prospect of relief. The sales OF English wheat
during the past week were 6O43l quarters at
3Os 3D. against 70, 4O3 quarters, at 3Os I'D, during
the corresponding week last year. Flour is de-
pressed, owing to the large arrivals OF American,
and is selling at the lewest rates known. British
millers complain that the business in American
-four is crushing the native industry. Fine bar
leys are scarce, but thirdrate oarleys plenti-
full Foreign wheats are duiler There were
seven arrivals and three sales. Two cargoes
were Withdrawn, and three remained-one from
Oregon, one from Chill and one from California.
At to days market wheat, -four and corn were
unchanged Mailing barley was Is lower. Rus
sian oats were dearer.

A photograph from the Retina.

a physician friend of mine called my
attention 10 an account Of a,recent at
tempt to observe in the retina of muir
dered girls eye the image OF her un-
known slayer. He laughed and said:
1T is all nonsense 10 expect that this
thing can be done. Ihave known of a
dozen experiments, all of which failed
from the very nature of the thing. All
there Is to II is This: The brilliant coat
of the retina has color due to what is
known as visual purple, and this color is
to some extent visihty impressed by
light. When In college we tried care
full experiment on horse. We gave the
animal atropine and placed a negative Of
my own photograph over its eye. It
was then kept In dark room for six
hours. This was followed by exposing
the retina to the picture in broad day
light for few moments. The result
consisted Of three dark patches repre-
seuting my chin, nose, and forehead. 1t
was an absolute failure as far as produc-
ing recognizable likeness is concerned"

To any one who contempIates trying
seasons riding would say this: You
viii build up your constitution for life,
you viii meet rough fellows, hear hard
swearing, and see some fighting, but you
viii hear fewer indecent stories on the
range than you viii in the average club
smoking-roorn. Your "outfit," or bed
clothing, and equipments, win cost you
about half your earnings, and If you
smoke freely and do not try to save
money the end of the season will leave
you neither richer nor poorer. You will
often have wet bed, and thank heaven
for getting TO It wet as it is; you win
always he up before daylight, and
generally two hours out of the night as
well; you will eat coarse food, every
thing fried in lard; you will be in the
saddle from twelve to eighteen hours
every day; you will often suffer for the
want Of food and water during q long
days work in the hot sun; you will ex-
pose yourself TO some peril of life and
more of limb; you will be for much of
VIC tl4itC I'D bDoOiuuCi1 Out Oil aAoAiA tAAS
civilized world as II you were on vessel
in mid ocean; you will row three times a
day that when you strike the ranch
again you will quit, you viii be sore and
bruised, cold at night and scorched by
day, wet to the skin one hour and
parched with thirst the next, and for
the rest of your life you will look back to
your life on the range with longing
thoughts of its charms.
Very few men are rich enough to in
dulge their taste for riding hy keeping
more than two saddle horses. A
"puncher" often rides dozen, and does
much of his work at full run. He
breathes the finest air on earth, eats beef
as freely as an ordinary working man
eats cabbage and potatoes, and fancies
the class to which he belongs are the aris-
tocracy of labor. He is generous, al
ways quick to appreciate pluck and kind
illness in others, ohivalrous to the few
women he sees, ever ready to help hang
horse-thief, and undergoes more hard
ship and danger than a dozen soldiers.

A BIT OF ADVICE.

The next man who looks you in the
face, and tells you you are clever man,
and that it's pity you drink, you tell
him he lies in your lace, and then say:
~ am dog; am devil. A clever man
butchers his wife; clever man breaks
his wife's heart; clever man beggars
his children; God save me from being
clever man." would want man to
look me in the face and say: "You are
the meanest man in this community; a
barkeeper is gentleman by the side OF
you. tell you what you want to do. A
bar-keeper in neighboring State set a
sign outside OF his saloon, "This is the
way to hell" Opening the door and
going in you read another sign: ''Nose
paint sold here" Then you read an
other, "My liquor warranted to kill in
five years." and after reading that,
scoundrel as you are, you 60 right up

In celery there must be some special
virtue, if we only knew what it is. Moth
ing is made in vain, and the powerful
smell and the extraordinary taste OF eel
cry are intimations from nature that it
has some special mission. Mr.. Ward,
Of Perriston Towers, Ross, writes that
rheumatism becomes impossible If celery
is freely used al an article Of diet. "Cut
the celery" he says, into inch dice. Boil
In water until soft. No water must be
poured away unless drank by the in
valid. Then take new milk very
slightly thicken it with flour.and flavor
it with nutmeg warm with the celery
In the saucepan; serve with diamonds OF
toasted bread around the dish, and eat
with potatoes.
Permit me to say" he adds, "that
cold nor damp never produces rheuma-
tism, but simply develops 1t. The acid
blood is the primary cause and the sus-
tanning power of the evil. While the
blood is alkaline there can be no rheu-
matism, and equally no govt. Let me
fearlessly say that rheumatism is inn
possible ON such diet, and yet our med
ical men allowed rheumatism to kill
over 5000 human beings in 1876-every

Description Of wonderful Machine.


when was laying the foundation Of
my mechanical fame and fortune, a few
years ago, boarded in a house filed
with locomotive engineers and firemen-
A practice prevailed there of enlivening
the supper table with social conversation,
and, the locomotive party being in the
majority, the leading theme Of talk was
stupendous feats performed in railway
runs, varied by minor incidents and rec
ords Of narrow escapes. George Dew
hirst, who ran lathe in the shop, sat
opposite to me at the table, and he got
tired of being excluded from the CONVEX
sation. He became ambitious to hear
himself talk in that crowd.
"One evening, catching on in hull in
the conversation, he called out loudly
to me, We'll, went over and saw the
machine to-day, and it is astonishing the
fine work it does!' How does 1t work.
| inquired. Well, said he, by means of
a pedal attachment fulcrumed lever
converts a vertical reciprooating motion
into circular movement. The principal
part Of the machine is disk which re-
wolves rapidly on VERTICALLY lane, Power
is applied through the axis Of the disk,
and, when the speed Of the driving arbor
is moderate, the periphery of the ma
chine is travelling at great velocity.
Work is done on this periphery. Pieces
of the hardest steel are by mere impact
reduced to any shape the skillful oper-
ator DESIRES What on earth is the ma
chiner demanded a listener. 'Oh, it is a
new grindstone, replied George; and a
silence that could be felt passed round
the supper table. Mechanical Progress
