No, receipts of the staple yesterday.
We were informed by Mr.. George P
Landman that he was prepared to pay as
high as $10.25 for the best grades if
brought to market at once. As the cot
ton market is rather fiuctuating in its

it in and dispose of it before the inevita-

a Hero of a Practical Joke.

A young man Of about % is Just now
the hero of select circle Of friends in
the southern section of the city, and in
view of his peculiar history he quite de-
serves to be honized Five years ago he
was clerk in bank on d 1neager sal
ary, and one time some of the same de-
voted friends of these days thought it
would be a good joke to pretend the
bank had been robbed, and warn him
that he was suspected. This a, number
did, only they called him up about mid
night, 50 as to give the joke a more
natural appearance. After telling him
that two hours before burglars had
stolen 5000 in bank notes, they added
that the police were now on the way to
arrest him as suspect.
1t so happened that he had but two
hours before been in the vicinity Of the
bank, and fearful of not being able to
prove an alibi, he gathered his available
belongings together and caught an early
morning train for the north. OF course
there was big row in the vicinity of
the young fellows home and his funny
friends had to leave town. Fortunately
the young fellow was bachelor, and he
was not hunted up. Recently he wrote
to an old acquaintance here from Can
ada, and the latter in replying to the
long lost youth told him the truth about
the bank joke. Then the young fellow
came back, but not as he went away.
He rode in parlor car and swelled
around in a hack. He had gone to Mon
treal and after the first shock had settled
down to work and gradually by lucky
speculation had grown rich.-Philadel-
phia Enquirer.

The opinion held by many people who
have never had their attention especially
turned to the work Of Jean Jacques
Rousseau is not that he was benefactor
Of his kind, but in reality he was one Of
the first apostles of the modern methods
Of education, and it is only after all this
lapse of years that his ideas have come
to be widely adopted. 1t is he who once
said that we came into the world igno-
rant, but with capacity; that education
begins at birth; that we learn incredibly
in the first years, and that as impress
sions supply our first knowledge those
impressions should be of the best and
should be presented in the right order;
that the first CRY of a child is request,
the second a command; that destruct-
iveness in child is not cruelty, but
activity; that the sin of children is their
weakness; that strength brings about
virtue, and he who can do all things
will never do wrong things
This we see to be undoubtedly good
reasoning in the light thrown on the
subject Of late years, and understand
ing now how greatly our children are
affected by what they see rs to be we com
prehend more fully what Thales meant
when he said that men must live in the
consciousness that all around them Is
filed with gods, and that this should
keep them more chaste than if they were
in the holiest of temples.-Harper' Ba-
Ear.

yancouver's Big Bridge.

The great steel bridge across the Co
lumbia river at Vancouver will be a
mammoth concern. 1t will be 5000 feet
from the Washington to the Oregon
shore It will be double tracked, with
a roadway on top for teams, and will be
erected upon pneumatic piers. The piV
otal pier, or draw pier, will support a
draw which viii give an opening of 200
feet space on either side for vessels to
pass, and the span Immediately south of
the draw span will be 375 feet. The
whole structure is to be Of steel, built
ten feet above the high water of 1876
and forty feet above low water.
On account of the sandy formation it
viii be necessary to go down eighty feet
below low water to get a firm founda-
tion. There it rests on a foundation of
coarse gravel similar to that upon-which
the great bridges across the Missouri
river are built. This gigantic structure
will cost over $1,000, 900, and employ
hundreds Of men in its erection. 1t viii
be Jan. /, 1892, before the cars can pass
over it. The company is pushing its
bridge and also its road as fast as men
and money and its present perfected
plans viii permit. 1t has now between
here and Kalama over 1900 men and
1900 teams at work. Columbian

Women and Their Dogs IN Paris.

Women here, as in London, have an
Unsuitable mania for carrying or leading
by chain pug dogs Of all degrees of ugli-
ness. Ons afternoon, during d shower
of rain, one was seen walking along the
Quai Jemmapes. where number of
worlzmen had just finished discharging
a cargo Of coal from barge. The lady
held in one hand an umbrella, with
which she carefully protected from the
least drop Of wet an ugly little dog with
gorgeous blue ribbon round its neck.
By her side trotted her daughter, a little
girl about 3 years old, her shoes not 50
waterproof as they might have been,
who, deprived of the protection Of the
umbrella monopolized by the dog, was
rapidly getting drenched.
AS she was about TO cross the bridge
which spans the canal one of the coal
beavers went up to her and said, "Allow
me, madam, to relieve you Of your dog,
SO that you may carry your girl to the
other side" The woman accepted the
offer, but when the party arrived at the
other end Of the bridge the coal HEAVIER
threw the pug into the canal, telling its
mistress at the same time, That's les
son to you not to shelter a dog while
your child is getting wet.
The woman screamed and soon a crowd
collected, to whom she pathedcally mar
rated the assassination of her pet. Two
policemen at her instigation took the
coal HEAVIER to the station, but the super
intendent declined to formulate any
charge against him. All she could do,
he told her, was to bring i civil action
for the value of her dog. She left the
station apparently much dissatisfied
with the decision. Paris Cor. London

AngIophobia in France.

1t would be a pretty question whether
the English OF the Germans are the more
heartily detested in Paris. 1t is certain
that the rancors of Waterloo have not
been softened by the humiliations Of Sc
dan. The fact is that your Frenchman
has an unlimited capacity of hatred
A newspaper has been started which is
called The Union Franco Russo, and the
main object is to rake up stale fictions
and to invent new lbels on the English
people. In curious contrast to the yul-
gar dislike is the undisguised admiration
of English people and English customs
which runs through the smart circles of
Partisan society. They initiate the cut
of our coats and reproduce the latest
thing in London hats; they buy English
horses and English guns; they talk En-
gish slang. They always did admire
English girls, but that was inevitable.
1t is higher compliment when they
copy English dandies.-St. James Ga

AII lNatches Compasses.

A few days ago | was standing by an
American gentleman when l expressed
a wish to know which point was the
north. He at once pulled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the north. l
asked him whether he had q compass
attached to his watch ''All watches, /"
he replied, ''are compasses" Then he
explained to me how this was. Point
the hour hand to the sun, and the south
is exactly half way between the hour
and the figure u on the watch For IN
stance, suppose that it is 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicating 4 to the sun
and ON the watch is exactly south.
Suppose that it is o'clock Point the
hand indicating to the sun and the
figure 10 on the watch is due south. Ny
American friend was quite surprised
that did not know this. Thinking that
very possibly was ignorant Of thing
that every one else knew, and happening
to meet Mr.. Stanley, asked that emi-
nent traveller whether he was aware of
this simple mode Of discovering the
points of the compass. He said that he
had never heard Of it. presume, there
fore, that the world is in the same state
of ignorance. Amalf is proud Of hav-
ing been the home of the inventor of the
compass. I do not know what town

Some interesting results We're obtained
from the archaeological explorations car
ried on in the Crimea during last sum
mer. Professor Vesselovsh found paint
ed human bones in two graves-six skel-
etons in one grave and one in another
The well known archeologist Professor
Grempler, of Breslau, who was present
last year at the congress OF archaolo-
gists at Moscow, is Of opinion that these
graves belonged to the original inhabi-
tants of the Crimea, the Cimmerians of
Herodotus. 1t was usage with them
to lay their dead on elevated spots 50
that the birds might consume tho flesh.
When quite bIeached they painted the
skeletons with some mineral pigment.
Graves containingsuch painted skeletons
have been found in Central Asia, but
only in few instances. Only three such
graves had been previously found in the
Crimea. Professor Grempler proposes to
take the skeletons with him to Paris,
and exhibit them at the congress Of an

autumn.-Boston Transcript

The Browning Society stnl Lives.

The fyaway squibs on the decline of
Boston interest in Browning that have
appeared in certain papers chiefly in
the funny columns-could not be better
refuted, if they were worthy of refuta-
ton at all, than by the gathering Of
Browning lovers at the Hotel Brunswick.
Over 100 members of the Boston Brown
ing society came together in the large
parlor Of the Brunswick for the first
meeting of the society after its summer
recess, and had an interesting and en-
thusiastic meeting. There was o brief
business meeting at which eight new
members were elected.
The society has taken up for its enter
tainment and study this winter the
great poets longest and most elaborate
work, sThe Ring and the Rook. Bos-

Mrs. Custer reports a story related to
her by a frontiersman which may be
taken as an amusing illustration Of \
very solemn truth The teller Of the
story had stopped at a. cabin to get =
supply Of milk.
The family consisted Of mother and
several ''strapping daughters" As the
traveller sat by the fire the shriveled old
mother bent over the fireplace putting at
a clay pipe, perfectly stolid and silent.
till one of the girls came in and stood at
the fire trying to dry her homespun dress.
Without raising herself, and in q
drawing tone, the mother said pres
emily, "Sal, there's a coal under your
fut."
In no more animated tone, and with
out even moving, the daughter replied.
(Which fut. mammy?"
The girl had run barefoot all her life
over the shale and rough ground Of that
country, and the red hot coal was some
time in making its way through the hard
surface to a sensitive tissue.

The lights shine out within the castle hail.
The sound of music echoes through the night.
And waxen tapers, clustered on the wall,
Glirlmer above the banquet table bright;
For, year by year, fair youth and beauty meet
To jest and dance to strains of music sweet.
Through waning hoErs around the banquet, there
They reyel in the gay and festal scene;
Yet on those lovely faces. unaware,
Rests oftentime a disconteltcd mien:
For ali this life of ease and pleasures sense
They give no thanks, no worthy recompensc
Adown the winding road beside the brook
A vino clad cottage stands upon the green;
Fultmany years within this humble nook
An honest yeoman and his wife have been
A still sweet hamlet where the even flow
OF winter days and summer come and 20.
A grassy strip of fruitful garden plot
The narrow limits Of their circle bound;
A life OF toll and labor is their lot,
Yet, year by year, the family gathers round,
And tho one sunny child is missing there

SANDY LAND WELL WORKED is RICH.


We don't bank high On theories

Black, waxy land don't grow sech truck
Along with its cotton stalks
I've noticed tho that whar the soils
Too deep fur twelve inch share
To turn the trash up to the sun,
An hits triflin' roots lay bare,
You're gwine ter raise heap er weeds,
Bigger than the crop you SOW;
An when you lay your cotton by
These no account weeds still grow.
But whar the scii is toler'ble pore,
An you've got your hvin' to make,
You'll work your land for all she's wuth,
An you'll piow an harrer an rake
From sun up I'LL the chickens roost
