IN THE WORLD OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Money easy at la
per cent; closed at 16I11%. Prime mercan-
tile paper, 1861. Sterling exchange dull
but steady at S4.s6 for 60-day bills and S4Ss1I
for demand. The total sales to-day were ia, O24
shares The unusual heat of the past few
days had the effect OF keeping large number
of members away from the board to-day and
the interest taken in the labors of the political
convention at Chicago restricted the business
done by those in attendance to the smallest
possible amount. The opening was extremely
dull with prices rather heavy, and though the
traders showed an indisposition to operate
pending the nominations the room developed
a reactionary tendency. Prices slowly sagged
off with life in the dealings beyond the
trading in Rock Island, in which an attempt to
market 500 shares brought the stock down %
per cent. The downward tendency spread to
the general list and became intensified after II
o'clock and st. Paul and Reading took the
lead. After the announcement of the nominal
ton there was some dissatisfaction expressed,
and though there was some attempt to
make boom on the strength of
the completion of the labors of the
convention there was more heavy selling than
had been seen at any previous time of the day
and with an increased activity, more decided
weakness was developed. In this latter de-
souri, Pacific, Lake Shore and Northern Pacific
preferred were most prominent There was,
however, no special feature of importance
shown, the dullneSs being less only by cOmpar-
ison, and the market finally closed quiet and
weak at the lowest prices of the day. Although
the fluctuations throughout the day were small
the steady decline left prices in many of the
stocks traded in, and while the entire active
list Is lower; Rock Island is of = Lake Shore,
Missouri Pacific preferred, ~ each; st. Paul,
~ Reading and Canada Southern, Ia Lack
awanna and Atchison, IL.
Railroad bond market was somewhat more
active than stocks sales of all issues being
Sl,270,000, while the tone of the dealings was
in marked contrast being steady to firm al
most all the way out An increased demand is
reported for good mortgages, though the gem
eral list shows but slight changes from last
previous sales. Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern firsts lost 2 at 60 and Peoria, Decatur
d Evansville seconds 5 at l02.
Government bonds were dull and steady to
firm.
State bonds dull and steady.

Household Hints.

Keep cheese in tight tin box.
A bag Of dry, hot hops on the chest is excel
lent in relieving Group.
Preserves and jellies should be kept in a
glass or stone in self-sealed jars.
Fruit stains are removed by bleaching on the
grass when apple trees are in blossom.
tablespoonful of turpentine, boiled with
your white clothes, will aid the whitening pro-
cess.
When stung by bee or wasp make paste
OF common earth and water put on the plate at
once and cover with cloth.
Applying kerosene with a rag when you are
about to put your stoves away for the summer
will prevent them from rustng.
To set delicate colors in embroidered hand
kerchiefs, soak them ten minutes previous to
washing in pail Of tepid water, in which n
dessertspoonful of turpentine has been we'll
stirred.
Whereweeds persstin springing upas fast as
they are cut of, kerosene oil may be used TO
advantage. III q small quantity be poured on
the plants after being cut down, the effect will
be 20 destroy them.
Old Innings should be washed, ironed and
kept in receptacle devoted 10 such things. IL
is seldom these can be utilized in good
dress, but sometimes come in course for chill
dren's garments or for everyday cotton
gowns.
Carrots and celery cooked i'm cream make n
very nice dish. The carrots should be cut in
thin slices ana boiled in sailed water; the eel
cry in inch lengths and then scalded. Add
the milk thickened with cornstarch while boil
ing.
A wash which will remove the sunburn ac-
quired by outdoor sports is made by adding 10
twelve ounces of elderflower water six drains
of common soda and six drains of powdered
borax. Applied to the skin, it will make il as
clear and soft as a baby's
Put dishes, tumblers and other glass articles
into kettle, cover them entirely with cold
water, and put the kettle where il will soon
boil. When it has boiled few minutes, set it
aside, covered close. When the water is cold
take out the glass. This process will harden
the articles so that they will not be easily
broken.
To expel mosquitoes, take Of gum camphor n
piece about one-third the size of hens egg,
and evaporate il by placing it in a tin vessel
and holding over a lamp, taking care that il
does not ignite. The smoke viii soon fill the
room and expel the mosquitoes, and not one
will be found in the room next morning, even
though the windows should be left open at
night

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.

CHICAGO, June 25.-0pening prices for
cereals on change this morning were generally
higher than closing prices last week Wheat
opened &c 10 2sc over the close of Saturday
The range for the session was about evenly di-
vided on the Saturday closing price July sold
TO open at 79l2c, declined 10 7S34c, returned 10
79J4c, and twenty minutes before the close was
steady at 791zc the Saturday figures; Aug
opened at 1870 and sold between 7914c,and
Soc; Dec ranged between S21sc and S2ss. There
was little news, and, considering the outside
excitement and the convention bulletins, on
the floor there was fair activity, and altogether
quite firm tone TO the market Receipts were
10 cars, with 46 cars for Tuesday. The visible
supply decreased $4,000 bu. for the week.
The figures had no special effect Closing price
for July was 79Kc. There was no raid
ing in corn to-day. There was no weakness
such as marked the pit nearly every day last
week. There was some pretty good miscellan-
eous buying and prices ruled better than the
closing prices on Saturday, most of the session,
and closed &c to sc higher at ] p. m. The
hrmness was i'm part due to the lighter receipts
and partly to the general belief that depression
is over for the present and that a return TO
about 49c is probable. There was n lack of en-
thusiasm in provisions. Receipts of hogs were
good but prices were well maintained. Trad
ing in pork was mostly in the way of changing
contracts from near TO distant futures at TO
Zoe premium. A steadicr feeling prevailed,
and closing prices sc to Toe over Satur-
days; July sold at : 65C113.67%. Shorts
bought lard and sales for July were at $S.27H

LAwRENcEBURG, June 21.-[special. J.
The death OF one OF our prominent citizens
and business men, Col. John Mcclure,
Wednesday night, under peculiar circum-
stances, has been the sensation OF the day.
The colonel was II colossal figure, and
owing 10 the great preponderance OF flesh,
was subject to apoplectic attacks, two OF
which recently came near terminating in
death. On Wednesday evening he drove
out on the Lawrenceburg road, and was
observed TO take n companion into the
buggy with him and drive in the direc-
ton of Wilson creek. About 10 o'clock
the family OF Mr. Otto Billingsby were
aroused by the cries of a woman who
claimed she had discovered Mr.. Mcclure,
who had been thrown from his horse and
was dying. She continued her walk to-
ward Aurora, and told the family of Mr..
James Billingsby the same story. The
woman was unknown to the two families,
but from description it is known in
Aurora who the woman is.
The Billingsby brothers found Mr.. Nc
CURE lying on a laprobe among some
high weeds alongside of the road. With
difficulty he was removed to the house
and Drs. Bond and son summoned. He
attempted 10 speak, but could only make
faint utterances, and soon expired. He
was genial, warm-hearted, liberal man,
making friends by scores, but he was
overtaken in a fault and most of his
friends desire TO throw the mantle OF
charity and hold in remembrance his
good deeds

BAD News from stanley.

LONDON. June pa dispatch from st. Paul
de Loanda, dated yesterday, says: Several
deserters from Stanley's expedition have
reached camp Yambunga. They state that
after traversing Aruwhimi Stanley struck into
n rough, mountainous country covered with
dense forests. The natives, who were excited
by reports spread by the Arabs, disputed the
passage of the expedition, and there was con.
tinued fighting. Stanley was severely wounded
by an arrow. He was compelled several times
to construct camps in order to repel attacks,
and was obliged TO use the reserve provisions
intended for Emin Bey. The Soudanese at
tached TO the force had all died or disappeared.
The deserters intimate that the caravan lost
one-third of its men and as many Of those re-
naming were i'll, including the Europeans.
Stanley was encamped when the deserters left.
He was surrounded by hostiles and unable TO
send news to Emin Bey or directly to Yam
bunga Maj. Bartelott has returned to Yam
bunga, where he is awaiting the men that Mr..
Ward was collecting to form a powerful expe-
dition to go to the relief of Stanley.

LOUISVILLE, June 22.-Wm. Patterson was
hanged this morning at 6:10 O'clock in the yard
Of the Jefferson county jail. He was a colored
man and was convicted with another colored
man, Albert Turner, of assaulting and fatally
beating Miss Jennie Bowman on April %, 1887.
Miss Bowman was a domestic employed By a
family who lived in a fashionable suburb, and
the crime was committed about 10 o'clock in
the morning. The family were all absent from
the house at the time and no one witnessed the
murder. Turner and Patterson were arrested
on suspicion, and Turner Immediately con-
fessed. Patterson protested his innocence.
Turner pleaded guilty, but on the scatiold said
Patterson was innocent. He was hung on July
/, 1887. Patterson was tried convicted and APP
pealed his case, and the lower court was sus-
tanned. The governor respited him three times
but refused TO interfere further. Patterson pro-
tested his innocence on the scadold. He was
strangled slowly to death, and four minutes
after the drop fell said: Course them" and
then, 'Lord save me-" His struggles were
frightful. Many people believed firmly in his
innocence, and there were strong attempts TO
secure his pardon.

The Prairie Farmer tells the Western
farmers daughters something about dress
rs follows: Girls, when you have TO walk
20 church do not invest your egg and but
ter money in a costly cashmere with elab-
crate velvet trimmings when you can get
such pretty checked flannels, neat sateens,
buntings, etc. And those light French
heeled kid shoes are soiled in short time
so they no longer harmonize with the
dress. You think in order 10 be stylish
you must wear corset and hustle. Let me
tell YOU little secret. Many OF those
stylish girls" you see on the street wear
simple muslin waists and reeds in their
dresses, for theyare bustleless. Then,again,
do not make your dresses so long that they
will catch mud, dust, bits of weeds, etc.
A short skirt, properly hung, is really
graceful and very sensible. Wear cotton
or silk gloves in summer, and silk or
wooden gloves or mittens in winter. Kid
coils easily, is costly and does not har-
monte with a simple Bingham, which is
so nice for summer wear for church or
other places of public assembly. When
you go to town to trade" do not, if you
possess a handsome dress, wear it. 1t
looks so shabby TO see woman get out OF
a wagon filled with grain, produce, etc,
dressed in the fullest sense of the word,
with hustle and drapery disarranged or
flattened. Wear what is suitable, and
you'll be admired for your sense if not for
your style.

Mothers Horrible Crime at Pittsburg-
The Cause n Trivial One.

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 20.-Early this
morning Mrs. Josephine Marick, living
in tenement house on Sycamore-st,
Allegheny City, administered strychnine
TO her three children, Mary, Helena and
Ellen, aged seven, three and four years
respectively, and then swallowed a large
draught of the deadly poison herself In
less than three hours Mary and Helena
were dead and little Ellen was in convul-
sions with no hopes of recovery.
The motive for the devilish deed is not
known, but is supposed to have been
anger because her husband had ordered
boarder from the house whom he sus-
pected Of criminal intimacy with his wife.
The husband is almost crazed with grief
and goes about the room half dazed. He
is quiet, Woodworking German, and has
always borne a good reputation. Mrs.
Marick was twenty-six years of age and
had been married about eight years.

Asparagus Bed.

"Aunt Mamie" writing from Wauke-
gan, Ill, TO the Prairie Farmer, says:
One of the delights of my miniature
garden is my asparagus bed, and we get
all of this fine spring vegetable that our
family wants The bed took l25 plants to
fill it, and gives me respectable sized
grass, though not quite so large as we
read of. They are planted about fifteen
inches apart, which seems to answer
very we'll, at any rate am sat
isfed with the result. The bed has
been going some years, and is yet in al
most as good shape as at any time. This,
/ think, is in a great measure due to the
care given the construction of the bed, the
soil, ETC., to the fact that no weeds
were allowed to dispute possession, and
that the grass" was never cut after the
25th OF June. do not like to take some
thing for nothing, hence as l take aspara-
gus from the piece of land, l replace its
elements with manure in the fall (which
helps protect the roots in winter forklng
it into the ground the first thing in the
spring. Every three weeks L sprinkle
thinly some salt, which have heard does
this crop good, may be because it is
natural to asparagus which comes, as
botanists tell us, from the seashores OF
Europe. ! had some little trouble with
my man John, to get him to dig deep
enough to suit me.
