JUST AN OLD NEGRO.
But He Has I'm His Day Handled Over
"a Billion Dollars.

Billion Dollars.
Few If any persons in this country
have handled more money and checks,
bonds and other representatives OF
money than Uncle" Henry Logan, the
messenger OF the register OF the treas
ury, writes II Washington correspond
ent. He is colored man, past seventy,
rs punctual us the hands of a clock and
as trustworthy rs burglar-proof safe.
His principal function is to carry checks,
warrants, bOuds, etc, to and from the
registers Office where they have to be
signed. He has been doing this for
twenty-five years, with scarcely days
absence during that time. He has
handled a large part Of the bonds and
currency issued by the government aud
the warrants that have been drawn
upon the treasury.
The aggregate in dollars, II it it could
be figured out, would go high UP in the
billions. Express companies are paid a
fixed sum per mile for every 81 900 they
transpo I for the government, and il
Uncle Henry had been paid at the
the same rate he would now be rolling
IN wealth. He receives a snlary of'$T2O
year, and on this modest income he
has been able TO buy home and raise r
large family. "Uncle Henry" held his
place all through Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration, and bids fair TO remain
until the inlirmities Of age compel his
retirement. His black face and white
hair are in striking contrast His
pleasant. grandfatherly ways make him
Il general fayoritc in the department.

ment IN nearly all the primary markets from
which the great consuming centers like Bos-
ton draw their supplies of wool. In San
Antonio purchases of 1000 bags of new fall
Texas are reported at 2Gc and above, which
would be equivalent to 5G@5Tc, secured,
here. while better wool can be bought in
this market at 55Glo1c, embracing six months
spring wool. In California buyers are pay ing
about &c per secured advance, and in Mel
bourne the French and English purchasers
are operating freely at prices beyond the
reach of American buyers. In England
there were no important purchases for
American account at tho last sales, owing 10
high prices, and in kentucky and Indiana
there has been movement during the past
ten days which has picked up most of the
remaining one quarter and three eighths
blood wools Of those sections at
gain about to the level of the seaboard
markets. More demand is noted for
onehalf and three-quarters blood
wools. as hitherto anticipated, due
to IN increased use of chevIot and
lusrre goods. Georgia wools are frmer at
2lc, and certainly afford Il better value for
the money than most other woods in the
market. The fashion is not to frown upon
them. Thore has been a slow demand for
medium woods all summer until now. and
the lower grades are still affected by the
competition OF foreign carpet woods, but for
one-quarter blood and above we note
some Improvement, and in No.
unwashed woods there Is less
difference in price than heretofore be-
tween comblng and clothing grades. In
washed wool, however, we still quote No.
