A Substitute for Grace.

One Christmas | spent up on the
Mount.in side with two or three
Others, and there we had our holiday
dinner. and il was a wholesome meal,
but wanting in those d~elicacies that a
mother or wife can best prepare. A
mowstorm vas raging along the
mountains, but with our cheerful fire
and warm cabin, we cared nothing
for it,
If we had some flowers for the
wish table," said one of the boys.
We all wished the same.
Get out your old letters" said one.
We all knew what that meant, for
many a flower from the old house
finds its way in letters 10 the boys out
west. One found a rose bud, another a
violet. another a daisy, and then an
other rose was found in a mothers
letter. Withered and faded were these
tokens from the old homes, but never
did men value flowers more than we
did that withered bouquet.
Cant some one say graceG" said
one Of the boys.
No one volunteered.
''The closing lines in my mothers
latter" said a boyish fellow, might
de-"
''Read them" was the response that
came from ALL
Heads we're bowed around hat fru-
gal Christmas board, and the young
man read.
God bless you, my sou. and God
bless us all"

The cheeks Of weather beaten faces

An Increase TIA Railroad EarDiDgs-Ihe
Coal Market Discouraging.


New YoRK, April 5.-R. c. Dun X
Co.'S weekly review Of trade we'll says
The course of events has not changed.
Prices continue to sink. though the
volume OF trade, both domestic and
foreign, continues large. Railroad earn
ings show an increase OF about ID per
cent. over last year for March, 50 far as
reported. and yet stocks are lower and
same have been sharply depressed,
though at later quotations partial re-
covery is seen. Trade at interior points
is pronounced dull and quiet in near
ly all cases, though at Cleveland ii
Is fairly satisfactory and clearly larger
than last year; at Atlanta II is satisiac-
tory. with spring business we'll sustainedi
Al Omaha il is considered good; at Kan
sas City improving, and at ST. Paul trade
in drv goods and clothing IS very active.
There Is also some improvement noted
at Detroit. particularly ia sbip-building,
and lumber Is firmer.
Cottons are duller and print cloths
weak al 3.sl cents for 84s but raw cot
ton il an eighth stronger, the export de-
mand continuing in excess OF last year >
In the iron market more pressure 70
realize is seen here and at Philadelphia,
and Southern iron is offered at SOC. to 81
bel " the corresponding Northern
grades: bar iron remains very dun, ana
rails have sold moderately without lift
Ing OF prices.
la me coal market no improvement
appears, and between the effects Of an
open winter and the war between the
companies and the individual operators,
VINO undersell at pleasure, the situation
! is discOuraging TO those who are trying
to maintain prices.
The most important change Is the fall
of2s cents iu wheat, which naturally
,veakens az the drems Of expected
mine give place to the realization OF
/ iarge unsold stocks on hand.
Reports from growing and sowing re-
rions continue 10 preshadow a large
eld this year, and the demand iron
abroad, though better since prices fell, +
not large enough TO promise clearing
of the surplus stock on hand.
Corn has advanced &c, export deman'
continuing. aud oats a fraction.
The favorable crop prospects, thougl
disheartening to spectators, may ieh'
strongly to sustain the conference o
those who look for improvement in al
branches Of legitimate business.
The export business distinctly I'm
nroves already, and for the past Nv
W eks the value shipped from this por
,yregaied S34,070,000 against s2o ,9Ol

The generally prevailing belief is tha
in spite OF present low prices, the bus
ness OF the country Is to be, on the who'll
rosperous this year, and that larg
crops will revive trade OF all kinds, hs
its natural effect upon the minds OF ihos

he said, Miss Maggie Thompson and
himself had left Hughes in bed smoking

not hear the pistol found Hughes dead,
with the cover up over his chest; did not
see any blood, and did not know Hughes
was shot; sent for Or Jones, and after.
wards Mr. Ware sent for the justice and
constable, ana said that Ross had shot
Hughes. Here the Commonwealth rested
the case.

liminary examination be examined by
the Commonwealth, so as to give the &C

This seemed TO be new question In
Virginia. No Virginia case could be
found in which this question was raised.
The Court sustained the defense, and
Miss Maggie Thompson was then exam.

statement of other witnesses, except that
she said the cover was down about
Hughes waist She said when she saw
the cover, after the men from The !
Courthouse had come, and it was Just as /
She had first seen it, She gave Hughes

Tne defense held consultation and
uggested that the court adjourn till in

The defense has summoned DR. Smith,

hews, as experts. There is much spec
Ilation as to what the doctors are to
rove. Ross's statement is anxiously
waited. The case will probably not be
concluded till the last OF next week.
