CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business in the Grain Center Dur.
Ing Yesterdays SessiOm.

CHICAGO, October 22.-Wheat trading
was large to-day, and prices were again
lower, early buyers failing to get any
substantial support. The market not
advancing finally turned the sellers and
this effected break. The opcni & was
about "A cent below Yesterdays closing,
but the market ruled strong for while
and prices were advanced &c Then the
market held steady for time within a
l4c range, but later became weak, de-
clining 11sc and closing 1c lower than
yesterday.
There was a fair speculative trade III
corn, with a comparatively firm feeling
prevailing on deferred deliveries. Cash
and October were easy, being quoted at
, &c under yesterday. The market openeu
at yesterdays closing, was firm and ad-
vanCed 1saMC, eased off little and closed
a shade better than yesterday.
Oats were quiet and without new feat
ureS.
In mess pork the trading was fairly
active and the feeling was stronger. OC-
tOber was 1Oc higher early and closed
easier. November was stronger on local
buying and prices advanced 2Oa25c and
closed firm. January was comparatively
steady.
In lard good trade was reported and
the feeling was stronger. October sold
at 1Oa15c advance, while January ruled
2l2a5c early but closed easier.
Short ribs were fairly active; the trade
was mainly in October and January de-
liveries. The former was 1Oa15c higher

particular change.

Charlotte CnrOnlClc.
The Seniors for this year at Harvard
University, have elected negro as class
orator. The vote was close. the negro
winning by bare one majority.
Even for Harvard, the election of a
negro as class orator, is an Innovation
that must he watched with interest in
the North and East. Whether or not
this election will materially affect the
attendance at Harvard from the sections
named, it is not easy to predict; but it is
safe to assert that hereafter fewer stu
dents from the South will seek degrees
at Harvard than have heretofore gradu-
atcd there. This may be desirable There
are as good schools and colleges in the
South as can be found anywhere in this
country; and the negro election may
end to make Southerners patronizc
their home schools more than they have
done Johns Hopkins, in Baltimore. the
Virginia University, at Charlottesville,
and the several superior places Of educa-
ton in this and other Southern States,
cannot he surpassed north of Mason and
Dixon's line; and increased home patron
age will only serve to improve those
already we'll equipped institutions.
At any rate, the Harvard election has
set precedent that the college will not
easily recover from; and she will feel the
rashncss of her advanced liberality" as
much, it is fancied, in New England, as
she will in other sections.

Sir Edwin Arnold OH America.

Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper.
An Englishman no doubt notices here
an absence of Difference and of formal at
tention, but he also notices the presence
of a nearly universal and most manly
and frank comradeship, the blossom, per-
haps, of wider and healthier air. am
far from saying this to flatter America.
The impertinence of such an intention
would be rebuked by its absurdity. 1t
would be like the little girl who was
taken by Sydney Smith to see the turtle
tanks at Birch's, in Cornhll, and when
she stroled the largest among the collec-
tion her uncle inquired: why do you do
that, my dear ~ 81 do it to please the
turtle, uncle" My child" replied the
Canon, you might as well stroke the
dome of St. Paul's to please the dean and
chapter" A man who should, as it were,
pat the cupola of your capitol at Wash
ington TO CRAFTY New York would be
similarly ridiculous. Your nation of
sixty millions stands well beyond the
reach of compliments. History rather
waits to see if you will deserve the gifts
and opportunities which DESTINY has
brought you in both her hands"

FAMILY REUNION
At the Famous Sheriff. Tavern at
Hickory Nut Gap.

Editor Citizen The old Sheriff. tavern
at Hickory Nut Gap, some eighteen miles
southeast OF this city, was the scene of n
most enjoyable and happy family re-
union on Thursday the 18th instant.
Mrs. Elizabeth {. Sheriff., who for many
years has held forth as mistress of this
noted resort, and whose kindness and
hospitality is fresh in the memory of
many a traveller and pleasure seeker,
realizing that by reason of her old age
she must soon go the way of all humanity,
called together her children and her
childrens children that they might once
more make glad her heart by their pres
ence, and create one more bright spot in
the pathway of life, the memory of which
should cheer her declining days.
They came from all points OF the com
pass, with many anxious inquiries and
hearty hand-shakes. There were present,
Col. w. X. Young, S. w. Davidson, r. NJ.
Stevens, Marion Freeman, J. II. Tweed
John Sheriff., and {. l.. Sheriff.; all with
their families, together with James and
William Sheriff. Miss Mollie Sheriff.,
and J. NJ. Young and wife Bertha Young;
making i'll all, total of fltty-tour.
The bright October day was tittingly
spent and greatly enjoyed by all, and
rnmor has it, that the dinner was simply
immense. 1t could not well be otherwise
on such an occasion. Indeed, it was
time long to be remembered and cherished
by all concerned. and was beautiful
'mblem OF another reunion in the sweet
bye and bye, only then no farewells will
have to be spoken, as at the close of this
happy occasion, but it will be one glori-
Gus union through all eternity. May
God in his mercy grant that not one
present at this reunion shall he missing
ut the one to come.
The following day the gathering dis
pcrsed to heir several homes to take up
the thread of life where it it had been
left, but with frequent thoughts of the
bright oasis they had left behind in the
beautiful Hickory Nut Gap.
We had almost forgotten to mention
the fact that Mr.. Lindsey, Ashcville's
well known Photographic artist, was
there and furnished photos of the
gathering in his characteristic, elegant
manner.

ADAsrARDLY OUTRAGE.
The Horrible Deeds of Five
Negro Villains.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, October ga
special to the Age Herald from Lafayette
records crime in Tallapoosa county
that has rarely been surpassed i'll its
horrible details. 1t seems that while
Albert Smith and his three oldest children
had gone some miles to church, five negro
men approached the house and asked
Mrs. Smith to give them something to
eat, and being refused they went into the
house and learning that there was no
one at home but Mrs. Smith and her
little babe, forced her into the yard and
began ransacking the house. After ap
propriatiug all that they could find the
way of money and valuables, they set
fire to the house and added horror to
the terrible scene by forcing the frightened
woman to witness the most brutal and
liendish of deeds, which was toss
ing her little baby in the air
and letting it fall back almost
on the point of sharp knives which
they held under it. The brutes
finally needed the frantic womans en-
treaties and went away leaving her with
nothing to greet the return of her horror
stricken husband and children but her
half dead babe and a smouldering heap
ofcoals where was, only few hours be
fore, their home. The people for miles
around have been searching the country
for the villains, and at last accounts
three of the negroes had been captured.

FINE TURNOUTS.
The Contrast Between the Old
and the New i'll ASheViIIe.

There isnothing in the appearance of the
streets of Asheville more suggestive Of
change than the contrast between the
old vehicles which occasionally passed
| through them, or were called intorequisi-
ton iorpartics or picnics, and the elegant
equipages thatH.no daily throng them.
Then there was the occasional private
carriage or the bret, something pecul-
lar, in name at least, to Ashevillc, cross
between a carriage and hack, substan-
tial and capacious, but not good look
ing. Now there is everything on wheels
that invention can suggest, taste or cap
rice demand or wealth supply. Not only
are the private equipages elegant
and costly, but the liverymen are
equally elegant in their tastes, and
abundant i'll their equipment The rea-
son for this is an incessant demand by
visitors, whether well or invalid, who
spend much Of their time in the open air,
driving around town or making little
trips into the country. This pleasant
habit has created the necessity for several
carriage repositories. Some months ago
we described our visit to the very extern
sive one of Messrs. Penniman. A day or
two since we dropped into one we had
not heard of betore-that of Mcssrs.
Woody and Stikeleathcr, in the south
end of the old Eagle, and there we learned
where many OF the elegant vehicles chat
may be seen on the streets come from or
might be had. There were substantial, ca
pacious, handsome Watertowns, elegant
and luxurious carriages, graceful phac-
tons, convenient and comfortable single
horse vehicles, buggies, surrics, buck
boards, and i'll fact whatever fancy, use
or comfort might call for.
We welcome the increase Of such cstab-
lishments as adding to the business ca
pacities OF the city, and without a soil
tary interested personal motive. Our
visit was pleasant and instructive to
ourselves, and we freely give the public
the benefit OF it.

ties for the present, and will after his re-
turn, hold permanent position i'll the

AMERICAN PHYsIQUE.
The English Race Have Not Lost
by Being TranSpIauted.

New York Herald
At the opening of the British AsSocia-
tons geographical section President dc
Winton pointed out that 1.-THE effect Of
climate upon race is somewhat remark
ably Illustrated by the physique and
nerve power of the present race OF Amerl-
cans" Two centuries ago they were
the same race as the English, but now
the contrast is marked. Our climate
according to the eminent geographer, has
given Americans IAN individual stamp"
and has made perceptible difference on
outward semblance even in this short
space of time. This interesting note olthc
pronounced effect of climate on race de
served more practical elaboration than
Col. de Winton had time to giveit. Great
Britain has an insular climate witha low
barometer, which is relaxing to the hu-
man frame. 1t has been well said
that in a heavy atmosphere the elephant
would become a comparatively active
animal, while iii rarihCd air he would
become dull and heavy. In American at
mospheric pressure averages higher than
in England. The climate is continental,
with more Of cxLilarat.ng sunlight and
more of the element ul cold, which,
without certain limits, is adjudgcd by
all Psychologists to be wonderful tonic
and a therapeutic agent of much value.
In fact, the chief characteristic Of our
climate IS the excess of it nerve stimu-
lating properties, which in the colder
parts Of the country tends to exhaust
overworth, ill-ted, ill-clad and anemic
people. But on the whole, the Anglo
Saxon race has not suffered by the
transfer from an insular to a continental
climate.

A Notable verdict.

In our special kilograms is one from
Shelby informing us of verdict in case
tried under a recent law making the tax
ing off of horse or other riding animal
without purpose to steal or convert it a
misdemeauor. 1t had become common
practice, for fun, to play trick, or for
convenience, to unhitch an animal from
its hitchingp post, or take it out of the
stable, ride it as tar as suited the purpose
of the rider, turn it loose, and then let
the owner recover it as best he could.
There was no actual stealing in this, but
great wrong and violation of private
rights. Complaints became many and
loud and to provide a remedy, the Leg
islature made the offence misdemeanor,
punishable by Imprisonment. The case
before us is the first we recall under the
statute.

"a NIGHT Off"
This Popular Comedy to be Given
i'll Opera Hail October go.


Augustin Daly's Comedy troupe will
present the above piece in the Opera Hall
in this city on Wednesday night, October
80. We do not propose to commit our
selves in advance to the reputation of
this or any other company of players 1t
is dangerous responsibility, and the
risk too great to he assumed. Yet it is
but justice to this troupe to say that
wherever it has presented "A Night OFF,
it has been admirably performed, and had
the applause Of delighted audiences. 1t
was recently played in Raleigh; and
while we might select press opinions,
possibly of higher authority, we prefer to
take the following from the Raleigh Call,
as expressive ola home, perhaps untu-
torcd, but honest sentiment. The Call of
the 18th says;
The largest theatrical audience of the
season greeted Augustiu Daly's comedy
company which appeared in Metropoli-
tan Hall last night and presented the
delightful comedy "A Night OFF," The
people had reason to be glad they went
there, for there surely never was a play
more witty in dialogue, more artistic in
dress or more ably produced in this city
There was no exaggerated or boisterous
fun on the stage. Everything was easily
practical and natural. There was not a
single stereotyped situation. Everything
was fresh and funny and the presentation
was very pleasantly acceptable. Laugh
was the order of the evening, and it was
spontaneous and genuine.
