OuadriIIe Versus Waltz.

In the days of the minuet, our ancestors
engaged in pleasant discourse while treading
that stately dance, and the plain quadrille
afforded many of the older of us TO enjoy de-
licious bits of Irritation with those of the
other sex whom we admired for in the dance
many liberties and pleasantries pass for harm
less nothings which elsewhere might be often
sive The Figaro calls for a renaissance of
the quadrille. and it believes that it viii have
the encouragement of mammas and daugh-
ters. As for Herr Strauss, it is his desire, l
understand, to reconstruct the waltz He
thinks that the prelude to the waltz should be
q stately movement, admitting Of converse
ton between partners; he would have the
movement gradually quicken, anon become
deliberate again, and so altern ate. giving the
dancers occasional opportunity for converse
ton and physical recuperation In this wise
does the great waltz composer hope TO re-
habilitate the once popular dance in the affec-
tons of Observation-Disclosures Fields Letter

light recently at New York city. Soon after
reaching that port the crew Of the ship
Constance, through the British consul gen.

First Mate Johns and Second Mate Lee. The
former was captured, nj in the subsequent
examination ii was shown that the members
of the crew had been treated with the most
savage cruelty. The Delaying pin, the ak

of the mates. and not one Of the sailors

He Didn't Propose to Take AnybOdy's
Word for A.
Some years ago there was living on Mar
tha's Vineyard an old man who had never
been off the island, and the extent of bis
knowledge was bounded by the confines Of
his home He had been told OF war between
the north and south, but as be had never
heard the din of battle, he considered it a
hoax He was utterly unable to read and
was ignorant TO the last degree An excel
lent story is told of his first and only day at
school He was quite lad when lady came
to the district where his father resided to
teach school. He was sent, and as the teacher
was classifying the school, he was called up
in turn and Intercepted as 70 his former
studies. Of course he had TO say that be had
never been to school and knew none Of his
letters The teacher gave him a seat on one
side until she had finished the preliminary ex-
animation of the rest of the scholars She
then called him TO her and drew on the black
board the letter A, told him what it was ard
asked him to remember how it looked. He
looked at it a moment and then inquired (he
suffered:
''H-h-how do you know it's AR
The teacher replied that when shs was
girl she had been to school to an old gentle
man who had told her so.
The boy eyed the letter for a 1anment and
then asked:
"H-h-how did he knOw?'
This was almost a sumner, but the fischer
suddenly recollected that he had told her that
when boy he had been to school TO a lady
who taught him that it was A.
The bov again looked suspiciously at tie
letter, then burst out with:
''H-h-how did he know but she l-l-liedr'
The teacher could not get over this obstacle
and the boy was sent home as incorrigible.-

Pork PACKING and Provisions.

Cincinnati Price Current of Thursday: Con-
siderable gain is shown in the hog movement IN
the past week, w estern packing returns lndlcat-
ing total of 295, 600 against 1876, 900 the preced
ing week and 100, 900 year ago, making totaI
of $50, 600 since March /, compared with l, 2lO
600 last year-an increase of 20, 900 hogs. Pack
ing operations last year in April were not in ex-
cess of corresponding period in the preceding
year but in May there was very decided IN
crease, and still larger in June. Hogs are IN
good condition as a rule. Prices have varied
moderately in leading markets during the week,
and at the close are about the same as week
ago. Eastern shipments are on somewhat re-
dTl ced scale. In the provision trade the feature
of the week has been unusual changes in range
of prices at Chicago, particularly IN pork, Que
to overseIling business. -o,,
The weeks advance for May delivery is 81 .72ia
on pork, thirty cents per 100 pounds on lard,
and forty cents on short rib sides. Aside from
the unsettledness arising from the speculative
condition there is evidently considerable hrm.
ness in the trade, with fair distribution OF
product but not exceptionally large toward
Southern markets. The weeks exports were
fairly liberal, but considerably short of the
movement usually shown for some time past.
With view of indicating closely the total
packing and marketing of hogs In all the sec
lions of the country during the year, the follow
ing is submitted, for twelve months, ending
March l. 1890, compared with the preceding year,
according TO Cincinnati Price Current investlga-
tions, showing the reported packing West ana
East and receipts of hogs at New York, Phlla-
delphia and Baltimore

and later in the day when aided by the manipu-

made drive at values, and considerable action
was brought about Many brokers continue to
discriminate against the stocks of rate cutting
roads, the feeling being general that the
bears may at any time attack these and sen
them down several points on account of heavy
losses thew fnIfst sustain by continuing the fight
and doubt as to whether they will be able 10 Q
fba cIose dnllness was once more a prominent
cTsracterigtic of the regular list. Final changes
are principally declines and for small fractions.
Railroad bonds maintained their moderate
voInme of business but. in sympathy with the

while final changes are IN but few instances 1or

The Rains Have Thrown Farmers Behind

9sSassciai to the Gazette
GRAPEVINE, TEX; April 22.-The con-
tinuets.r rains havelthrown the farmers be-
hind With their work. The stand of corn
is very good and is growing quite fast.
About half of the cotton crop is planted,
and Some of it is up and ready to be
worked.
The wheat crop is about ruined by the
wheat bug. There are no oats of any
consequence, as the freeze killed nearly
all. Corn and cotton are all that this
country has to fall back on. But little
fruit will be made here.
Business is at q low ebb. About enough
cash is taken in by the merchants 10

Some little real estate is being sold in
