There's a story olden, golden.
Laden with the sweetest peace,
OF stranger In a menger,
Couched on autumn's rich increase,
ROBBED not In sable, for stable,
With its rude and dust clad walls,
Formed shelter, where did swelter
Cattle in their stifled stalls.
Then from heayen's azure riven.
Blazed q star of radiance bright;
Glorious, victorious,
IL paled the other stars of night.
Then IL Gimme cleaned and shimmered,
Ger the town of Bethlehem;
And brighter, near, richer, clearer,
Burned the star of glory then.
Above the stables pointed gables
Did the star of heaven stands
While adoring, wealth outpouring,
knelt the men from Judah land.
SofIy saying mid their praying,
While their eyes with tears were dim,
sFrom affair we've seen his star,
And have come to worship himl"
Then came winging, sweetly singing,
Hosts on hosts of cherubim,
..Glory, glory, hear the story!
Peace on earth, good will to men!"

by the use of Ayers Pills alone. I once cured
myself permanently of a case of rheumatism
which had troubled me several months. No
medicine could have done better. They are
harmless and effectuai; and I believe that in
all cases Of incipient rheumatism,
Ayers

Minnesota's Legislature.

ST. PAUL, March 1.-The house passed
a number of local bills. The session was
quiet and few bills of importance were pre-
sented. Speaker Graves introduced bill
creating a board Of park commissioners
for Duluth. The senate received numer-
GUS petitions for the reduction of railroad
fares. There was trouble over the fact
that quorum was not always voting, a
number of the senators having gone to
visit the st. Peter insane asylum. When
the calendar was taken up the scarcity of
senators and their tendency to decamp in
the direction of the cloak room during roll
call again became manifest. Senator White
mans st. Louis river log bill came up and
alternatives votes were appallingly scarce,
causing gentlemen from st. Louis to hustle
vigorously for absentees. When he found
only twenty one votes could be obtained
his face assumed an anxious expression,
but Senator Pope came to his relief by,
voting no and then moved a reconsidera-
ton. 1t being impossible to do business
the senate adjourned.

pension of its payments and called meet
ing Of its creditors to be held
at Philadelphia at the office OF the
company next Thursday afternoon.
1t is one of the largest establishments of
its kind in America and dispenses in
wages in this city every year over $1,000
O0. The cause of failure is generally at
trlbuted to the stringent condition OF the
iron trade. AT the time Of suspension of
payments to-day all its establishments
in the city were i'll operation, excepting
the sheet mill, where 25O men had beer
idle a week because Of the strike among
puddlers. The general belief here tonight
is that the Reading railroad company will
assume control Of the entire works as
principal Judgment creditor; that it will
issue stock or bonds to other creditors and
that it will then be run as sort Of
joint sock concern. There are several roll
ing mills in this vicinity whose product is
controlled by the Reading Iron works and
these, it is believed, will shut down to-
morrow.

nation OF Pennsylvania avenue from the

tance of over mile, by means of magDe-
SUM suns and for a space of five minutes
the entire avenue glowed with rich and
varied lights, At the conclusion OF the IL
Elimination the display at the monument
began by a salute of pyrotechnic bombs,
fired from mortars, land then be-
wildering flight of rockets. The night was
uncommonly dark and the great white
shaft of the Washington monument af-
forded backgrounds the peer of which can
hardly be found in the world.

A Summary of the Business of the Coun-
try for the Past Week.
NEW YORK, March 1.-R. G. Dunn &
Co.'s weekly review of trade: Traders
who have been waiting through the be-
lated season for expected winter trade find
that it does not come and spring has ar.
rived. Hence there are on hand large
stocks OF unsold winter goods, which ac-
count for tardiness of collections in many
quarters and for general sentiment of dis
appointment. At fully half of the interior
points which report this week there is
noted fairly good trade or some improve
ment Pittsburg observes an advance of
26 cents in some kinds of pig iron and bet
ter demand for manufactured in many
forms. Greater strength is also observed
at Cleveland. AS to collections, Omaha
alone reports Improvement. Money
markets are everywhere amply
supplied for legitimlte business.
Manufacturers are buying more freely of
leather. and for hemlock prices are half q
cent cen lower. Rubber is 64111c for paratine.
The anthracite coal trade is stagnate. The
output thus far this year has been 4,SO2,-
80 tons against 4,75S,682 tons last year.
The accumulation of coal at Port Rich
mond is represented as greater Than at
any other time for thirty years. In minor
markets severe attack on the copper syn
dicate at London caused fall, followed
here, and tin is a little stronger at 1910.
with lead firmer at $3.50 per pound. 1t is
thought at Philadelphia that the iron mar
ket is firmer. The market for bar iron is
very satisfactory ard scanty and no
Improvement in rails is seen at New York
No. 2 foundry continues offered at very
low figures and the pressure to sell wire
rods is noticed but sales of 1900 tons of
rails made that market firmer and it is
stated an allotment will be readiusted
April 1. Wheat is half cent lower at
9756; corn unchanged at A. Figures indi-
cate that the excess of imports over exports
for February may be 100000 or more
against over 10, 100000 last year. Foreign
exchange remains steady. During the past
week the stock market has virtually
done nothing and prices are on the whole
unchanged. The treasury put out $780,
600 more cash than was taken in during the
week and owing to large pensions prOba-
bly, closes the month with lower cash
balance and larger volume of currency in
circulation than at the end of January.
Meanwhile the general course of prices for
commodities tended upwards slightly for
the past week. Business failures number
252 as compared with 270 last week and 289
for the week previous. For the cores
pondlng week of last year the figures were

A sho rtape of Wheat.

ABERDEEN, March 1.-Territorial Sta
tistician Sheridan says there is not now
enough wheat in Dakota for seed and
bread. There is now but about 100000
bushels of wheat in the territory in the
farmers hands and in elevators and it will
require Ii, 600, 900 bushels to seed and bread
the territory. This will make shortage
OF about 100000 bushels in round num-
bers of the necessary amount to tide over
the farmers until the new crop. While
Central and South Dakota have from so to
60 per cent. of the 1883 wheat crop on hand
northern and northwestern counties have
but from to 10 per cent. of the crop.
