A Coop ScHEME.-At last Houston firm has decided to do what should have been done by some other firm many years ago, and that is to introduce one and two cent pieces into general circulation. There is no earthly reason why people should be compelled to pay ten cents for an article which cost five cents and can be sold for seven, any more than they should be com pelled to pay BIO for a suit of clothes which cost $5 and IS sold for $7. There are hundreds of articles which can be sold for one, two and three cents less than the price now asked, and these cents thus saved will at the end of the year aggregate sum will be quite an item to the wage earners of Houston. The Wonder Store is the first store to introduce cents, and others will follow in the near future. Il is not improbable that the daily newspa. pers will reduce their prices when cents get into circulation, for they are much higher than they should be when com pared with the one and two cent papers o other metropolitan cities. es.-Houston, zec Gs, ZT5?1ae.

Hartford Times It is a great change, to fall from the glory of hero riding in triumph, amidst applauding shouts of street boys in New Orleans, to jail in Nashville. But that has been John l.. Sullivan's fate, and one of his ''coparceners'' is in jail, tt o Johnson both arrested and jugged on requisition from Governor Lowry, of Mississippi. Muldoon and Cleary escaped. The governor has ''got his mad up' to 1O44o in the shade, at the way he was tricked and his orders disregarded. Meantime, Sullivan's admirers can console themselves with the reflection that their hero, however much he may suffer now, has at least had glorious time. When he received the telegram from his father in Boston, warning him not to get drunk till he got home to his joyful and thirsty pa rents, the great John l.. was visibly affect ed, and remarked
 The old gent knows how to brew the dandy booze, you bet I only wish had the old man here to show him the town, would give him the best time he ever had in his life.
 The old woman, too, feels proud that she ever reared such youth. A Boston dis patch says:
 The fighters mother is suffering from acute rheumatism, and her physician fears that he1 heart may be attacked. She has been con- fined to her bed for weeks, but when she heard the news of the fight much of hel strength returned and she said: "Oh, I'm not dead yet, neither is my boy John."

BITES, BITTER AND BITTEN. Albany lawyer, who in his early days was fond of trout fishing, was having good luck at a a stream when horny handed son of toll came upon the scene. He was the owner of the property. "Don't yer see that sign ?'' said he, pointing to one of several with the same lettered inscription ''No fishing allowed here." The lawyer answered in the affirmative by a nod of the head, at the same time landing beauty Perhaps you know the law on the subject ?" again put in the farmer. "Well, yes, 1 do. Would you like to hear it ?" The farmer then listened to an able Interpretation oi the law, and at it's close ordered the angler to skip, as he was clearly by his own word, transgressor. He continued fishing, how ever, secured good string, and when he had returned to Albany he began sui' against the granger for $lO for counsel fees And he won the suit, too.-Budget.

THE NEW IDEA.

A bright, dapper-looking young fellow walked into the city dispensary at St. Louis. He had case of books in one hand and subscription list in another. He dumped the books at the feet of Dr. Ep- stein took the cover off, extracted gaud- ily covered book, pushed his hat back on his head, and commenced at the rate of 100 woods minute "I have here the works of Charles Dickens in six volumes, which I am selling on time to those desirous of securing the stories of that master of fc- tion. These books are the only"
 "What shall I do with those small pox cases have just brought in ?' interrupted Henry Kortzendorfer, the big driver of the small-p -pox hospital ambulance, who had just come in at this moment
 "Are they very bad ?" asked Dr. Epstein.
 "Very," said Henry, ,mysteriously. "One is broken out and running from every pore. ,
 ''Just bring them ill here till see what they look like. Take seat for moment, will you ?" Dr. Epstein turned to the book agent; and moving his books over to the charity chair, sat down. This rather staggered the big driver, who said: ''I don't know, doctor hadn't we better clear the room?"
 "I think it would be better. You don't mind seeing these cases, presume ?" said the doctor to the book-agen
 ''Not at all, replied the latter, warmly. The fact is, I've had a curiosity for long time to see case of small pox. Fetch 'em in by all means. Besides, I want to sec how new gag works. I've had the vel low fever and the cholera racket sprung or me, and I've sat on seats full of dynamite and been in building where they hal looed fire. So you see the smallpox ide' is new one, and I'll wait and see how i works"
 And then Henry and the doctor looked at each other, and the doctor said he be lieved he would have the cases wait unti he had seen the books. Then the agen went to work and made sale.

Horse, lI.,ve Heart disease.

Horscmen in Kent county arc puz-
zled in regard to the appearances of a
peculiar and fatal disease among
horses. The closest investigation SO
far has failed to give any satisfactory
solution to the trouble, and tie only
hypothesis is that from some unac-
countable cause the horses affected
have died from heart disease. The
animals apparently well drop. and in
some cases are dead almost instantly.
A horse belonging to Josiah Massey,
a farmer living near Chestertown,
while being bridled a few days ago for
use on the farm, fell dead, as did au-
other belonging to Henry Massey.
The horse was quietly grazing i'll the
pasture when Mr.. Massey passed near
linn and waved his hand to make him
move. The animal raised his head
and started to walk off and fell dead
in his tracks. In the cases mentioned
the horses were apparently we'll up TO
the moment of death, eating heartily
and showing no signs of sickness.
Whether or not the disease is conta-
gious it is impossible TO say, as all i'll
vestigation has failed TO furnish any
satisfactory knowledge of the nature
of the trouble.-Chcstcrtown (Md.)

Fair Exchange.

The humor of our western pioneers
has become proverbial. The men who
were the 'early settlers" of Illinois
took with them plenty Of the sort Of
fun which is recorded in a thousand
anecdotes of President Lincoln. One
OF these Illinois pioneers, Mr.. Owen,
whose family, like the Lincolns, came
from Kentucky, bore a striking per-
sonal resemblance 10 the president.
A month or two before the election
of Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Owen was accosted
one day in Chicago street by news
paper man, who believed that he was
addressing the Republican nominee.
Glow do you do, sir1" said the news
paper man. we are highly honored
to see you in Chicago. had not heard
of your leaving Springfield"
Much obliged for your politeness,
said Mr.. Owen. And who may you
be, sir?"
my name is -" replied the edi-
"Ahl I've heard of you. I've heard
you called the Horace Greeley of the
west.
You are very KIM, MI. biuCOlH.
THAT amt my name" said the
farmer, with a twinkle in his eyes.
"My name is Owen, and I live out on
Poplar creek.
II believe you are Mr.. Lincoln, and
this is one of your famous jokes, said
the editor. gazing at the quizzical,
kindly face SO strangely like that OF
the nominee whom he had seen during
the Douglas debates and at the Repub-
lican convention.
You seem bound to have it so,
said Mr.. Owen, land I'll tell you how
to fix it. Let's swap daguerreotypes,
and you'll feel as if you've got like
ness of Honest Abe, and I'll feel as if
I've got one of Horace Greeley. -

TODAY. and prices were higher. Trading
was more active, both in covering shorts
and in buying for investment. The ad-
vance was looked upon mainly by some
operators as bulge caused by an endeavor
of the shorts to cover. The opening was
easy and KMLc lower than yesterday
closing, but turned quickly and steadily
advanced 1aSc above inside figures. AS
the most urgent demand was supplied and
the offerings increased the market began
to ease up and prices receded &c, ruled
steady and closed &c higher for July than
closing figures yesterday. June closed
about &c higher.
A moderate trade was reported in corn,
and the feeling was firm. The fiuctua-
tions, however, kept within &c range and
transactions were mainly local. The mar
ket opened at yesterdays closing prices,
was firm and advanced &c, ruled weaker,
and closed about the same as yesterday.
Oats were traded in moderately and an
easier feeling prevailed. Price changes
were confined to &c.
An active business was transacted IN
pork, mainly in July and August con-
tracts. Opening sales were at 1219@l5c
advance, and farther appreciation of 271a
assoc was gained about the middle of the
session. Later the market was less active
and prices settled back 1714@20c and closed
comparatively steady.
A little more interest was manifested in
the lard market. Opening sales were
made at 25I@5c advance and further i'm
provement of 5@71ac was gained. Later
the offerings were slightly increased and
