 It is not generally known what a close call Johnny Bchan had, in re- capturing convict Porter, few weeks ago. When Porter fired at Behan he was not over thirty yards distant and the bullet came very near ending a useful mans career.

 Buffalo Bill, after the conclusion of the season at Erastana, proposee to conduct a party of British mo- blemen and men in political life, together with several distinguished Americans, on pleasure excur- sion across the plains. The party will start from his ranch at North Platte, Nebraska, and travel in wag- ons and on saddle horses, camping out at night. Since Major North's death Col. Cody has been elected white chief of the PaWnees, and to this tribe he will first pay visit. Thence he will take his party into New Mexico and Arizona, stopping at all military posts and forts en route. He will come out through Lower California. The start will be made early in the fall and the trip will consume several weeks Col, Tom Ochiltree will probably be of the party.-N. Y. Sun.

 tights and satin slippers. Jacob selected this young person to exer- else his Oriental imagination upon by telling her tall yarns about my importance, and l soon found my self in for more attention than a
 man of retiring taste would know
 what to do with. It was all right
 when she felt of my boots to see what they were made of, and by de- termined effort of the will I kept quiet when she took my hat off and ran her fingers through my hair :; for a while, of course 1 did not like 1t at all, at the some time I was afraid of lacerating the feelings of this tender daughter of the desert and submitted but when she found had pockets and commenced to go through them to see what they contained, I felt the time had come
 for me to tell her there was only one women in the world who had right to go through my pockets
 for keeps, and so l tried to change the subject. Then she pulled one of my gloves off and put my hand on her arm to see which was the whitcst, and l asked Jacob with a gasp if he did not think the mules loaded by this time but he was so busy sneezing Arabic at the little brown-skinned maiden that he paid no attention to me. Then my com panion ran over to Jacob and talk ed to him with grest animation, pointing the meanwhile with many gesticulations, and Jacob interpre- ted that she had a small sister of fourteen whose marrage price was certain weight of silver equal to ten dollars, and if l could afford so high priced wife l could have her.
 may say here that the marriage
 price is always paid to the parents of the bride at the wedding and the money is held in sacered trust for the bride, as the laws of Morocco on the divorce questions are so free and generous that all man has to do is to open his door and put his wife out into the street, in which case shegoes baclto her parents and lives in dizzy luxury on the income

Major A. ". Hllliard, who caihe in from the south yesterday, stated to the News that recent develop ments have shown to the satisfac' ton of the most skeptical that the Chicago dressed beef men have ab' solute control of the market, ad- vancing or lowering (chiefy lower ing) prices at will. The little spurt of two days, during which prices went up higher than they had been in six years, was the work of the big four for the purpose of indu- cing a rush of cattle, so they could buy them in large quantities at whatever they should be disposed to give. They are not making money fast enough, so they raised the price so as to produce rush Of business. Major Hilliard's remedy is for the state legislatures to pass laws requiring all the beef slaugh- tered in the state in winch it is con- sumed to be inspected. This, he says, will break tLe power of the big four, and the butchers will again buy cattle in the markets of slaugh- ter. The Major is more disgusted than ever with the way the Chi cago layout is treating the cattle producers.-Dallas News.
 It IS pretty safe for ranchmen to follow the lead of spectators Tn marketing, if they care to market instead of selling on the ranch. When speculators are keen to buy is the best time to ship, and when they are slow at taking hold it is risky to market. The reason fol this is, that speculators make it a business to closely study the mar ket, and while they don't always hit it, they are more apt to do sc than a green horn.-Texas Live Stock Journal.
 More fat beef cattle were ship. ped from southern Texas during the first six months of the current year, than was ever shipped before from the same section iii the entire history of the state; further than this the beeves have been fully equal in quantity and weights tc the north and west Texas beef that was shipped during the past tive years. Southern Texas will even tually become a first-class beef fat tening territory.-Tcxas Live Stock Journal.
 The Beals' grant fellows have broken out again, and claim that they are now prepared to establish their claims to all of New Mexicc lying east of the Rio Grande river as well as portions of Colorado alrt Texas. The promoters of this scheme have been lying low the pas year, being in an inpecunious con dition, and have been engaged prip cipally in trying to sell the stock o their company at about five cent: on the dollar. It is safe to assume that they have found some one whom they have induced to ,pu money into this scheme. We shal probably hear about the Beals' gran until the funds of the company ha: run low, when 1t will retire into in nocuous desuetude.-Stock Grower

teaching school that he began the study of law. In the year 1870 he was admitted to tho bar, at Olney ,Richland county. Here he served
 two years as city attorney, and Tn '76
 was elected states attorney for that
 district for term of four years, In
 1881 with his family removed to Chi-
 cago, where he continued to practice his profession. In 1884 Luther Lafiin Mills, then states attorney, called Mir. Lopgenecker to his office as assistant, which position he retained during Mir. Grinnell's term, which succeeded that of MT. Mills. During this time the states attorney left some very impor- tant cases in Mir. Longcneckers entire charge, which he disposed of in such a masterly way as to merit high com- pliments from his superior officer. After this time he was intrusted with many of the most important cases. After Mir. Grinnell was promoted to the bench Mir. Longenecker was chosen at the fall election to fill the unexpired term by a majority of nearly l9,o0o votes. As before stated Mir. Longeneck- CTS career as a public officer has been such as to command the respect of the public. This was well evidenced at the convention which nominated him, his nomination was seconded by nearly
 every delegation at the convention. MT. Longenecker is man of clear-cut principles, affiliates with no cliques, unbiased in his opinions, and in him the public finds good public officer.

The above is a good likeness Of the candidate for states attorney on the Republican ticket, in this district. Mr. Longenecker was unanimously chosen at the last Cook county Republican convention to again occupy the same position as states attorney in which he has served the people of this county SO satisfactorily. He has. during his term of office, had some of the most difficult cases to handle, in which the city's and county's interests were in- voived, and 1t Is safe to say that his services have been duly appreciated. There is hardly 6 doubt that Mir. Longenecker will be reelected by & sweeping majority.
 He is an lllinoisan by birth, was brought up on farm in Crawford county, where his parents still reside, they coming from Lancaster, Pa, over fifty years ago. Joel NJ. Longenecker is now in his forty first year, being in the very prime of life. He is man of commanding appearance, possesses a strong physique, and, though the DOT trait shows pleasing countenance, 1t does not give expr, ssion to his elo- guent voice. At the age of eighteen he enlisted in company F, Fifth llli- nois cavalry, where he served until the close of the war, being one of six brothers who went into the army.
 After the war he attended the Rob- inson high school, in Crawford county, after which he taught school in the country. It was while engaged in

Lester Waliack's Recollections.
 scribner's Magazine.

I hesitated long before l made up my mind to become an actor; but when I finally did so, l determined that I should know my profession from beginning to end, and should de- pend upon it for my sole support and the consequence was that my poor mother often cried in those early days, be cause would net let her send me a i've pound note now and then, to add to my weekly stipend of twenty shil- lings!
 was resolved whatever success l might make l would owe to myself, and not to my fathers name; there fore, as MT. Lester, played the Fart of Rochester, in the town of Roches- ter, in a comedy called "Charles II, ]" by John Howard Payne. l had a very good part-the second part of the piece. Charles Kemble was King Charles, Fawcett playing Edwdrd and Jones the E'arl of Rochester in the original cast, at Covent Garden. The season at Rochester was short one, as my uncle, Henry Wallack, who had taken the theatre as an experiment, had it only for few weeks. This was my first professional engagement. My salary was still one pound a week, and I was paid about as punctually as act ors in small companies were at that time. Three pounds a week was a good salary in country theatre, and five pounds was enormous. When we got to the larger provincial cities sal aries were 8 little higher, but am very much in doubt if any leading actor at Bath, Bristol, Liverpool or Manchester, ever received more than ten pounds 6 week in those days.
 My first experience on any stage was at an establishment at Mitcham, in Surrey, called Baron House acade- my, a fine old mansion which had be- come a private school. Colman's "Heir at Law" was produced imme- diately before the beginning of the summer holidays, upon an improvised stage in the school-room, with the English usher as prompter and gen. eral manager. As the son of "the eel ebrated MT. Wallack,7 1t was felt proper, naturally, that I should take part, and was billed for the speech from Home's tragedy of "Douglas"- My Name is Norvar-although I was only ten years of sge. I was dressed in . red tunic trimmed with fur, white trousers, and red shoes, and carried . round wooden shield and . wooden sword painted blue. As for the lines, I suppose must have paint cd them red. How l spoke them heaven only knows I only remember that never missed . syllable.
 My next appearance was at another school performance given st Brighton, when I was about fifteen years old. This was at seminary kept by . MT. Allfree, which was then rather cele- brated, and the play was "Pizarro." At that time my uncle, Henry Wal lack, was stage manager ct Covent Garden. Of course all the boys were racking their brains and rsnaacking the shops to find what they should
