Rev. Theophilus Packard, who
preached fifty years at Shelburne, Mass,
was man of great ability, aud was
very prominent among the clergy of his
day.
When his son, Theophilus, Jr.,-who
was afterwards pastor of the same
church for twenty-five years-was old
enough to drive he gave him permission
one day to go to mill with the grist. AS
he started off, his father said to him:
Nov, Theophilus, you had better
watch Mr.. Peck and see that he don't
take out any of the corn"
Theophilus knew nothing of the GUS
tom of taking toll'' for grinding, and
promised to be on the lookout.
When he returned, the doctor asked
him if he saw the miller take any corn.
yes" said the boy, "but / kept
quiet, and when his back was turned ]
put it all back.
The good doctor told this story on all
occasions, but perhaps no one enjoyed
it more than the jolly miller.

This morning we have had trouble with
the hired girl. 1t occurred in this wise: We
had fully two-thirds of pumpkin pie that
had been baked in a square tin. This major
portion Of the pie was left over from our
dinner yesterday, and last night, before re-
firing to rest desired my wife to suggest
something in the cold pie line, which she
did. lit q candle and explored the pantry
n vain. The pie was no longer visible.
! told Mrs. Adams that had not been sue
cessful whereupon we sought out the hired
girl, whose name is Tootie Tooterson, a
foreign damsel, who landed in this coun-
try on Nov. z, this present year. She
does not understand our language appar-
emily, especially when we refer to pie.
The only thing she does without strong
foreign accent is TO eat pumpkin pie and
draw her salary. She landed on our coast
six weeks ago, after tedious voyage across
the heaving pillows. It was a close fight
between Tootie and the ocean, but when
they quit the heaving pillows were one
heavs ahead by the log
Miss Jefferson landed in Massachusetts, In

the ground. A strong desire to acquire
knowledge and cold, homemade American
pie seems to pervade her entire being.
She has only allowed Mrs. Adams and
myself to eat what she did not want her
self
Miss Jefferson has also introduced into
my household various European eccentrici-
ties and strokes of economy which deserve a
brief notice here. Among other things she
has made pie crust with castor oil in it, and
fabricated the pancake griddle with pork
rind that had used on my lame neck She

Duluth Wheat.

Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 1.-Wheat was
weak all over the country to-day, but seemed
especially 50 here. Values got down another
notch and were prevented from going lower
by the manipulationS of the sellers Of puts at
Chicago. The main fSctOr here was the heavy
movement this way and the flooding of the
market with wheat with a very small demand.
October wheat opened at 1890, &c below yes
terday's close, and got down before the close
TO 771Sg1714c, closing at 7714c, just sc above
the Chicago price. There was a report this
forenoon from New York that S00,000 bu Of
Duluth wheat had been sold there for the
united kingdom, but the amount was
afterwards corrected to 100000 bu,
more probable amount. There
were some offers of May wheat
and some demand but no sales. Sawyer
wanted d round lot, but would take nothing
else, while Dunn & Thomson, and one or two
other houses that had smaller lots to sell.
Cash wheat was quite largely dealt in. No.
hard fresh, sold at 761sc and T6c: to arrive,
at TS1sG1T614c, and regular at 760T534c. The
latter closed at about 1910. No. l Northern,
fresh sold at T4c and regular at 1879 At
