Ivory was principally known in the shape
Of ornaments of various kinds If You
will remember, some years ago it was ex-
tensiyely handled by train men and street
fakirs, who peddled baskets full of little
trinkets made from the ivory nut At
present practically the whole product of
the ivory nut goes into buttons.
One of the peculiar features of the ma

tIbllity to coloring matter. 1t can be col

used, one in perfect harmony with the ma
terial may be selected. The varieties in
shape and color are almost countless.-Iu-

The Ring of CheoDs.

Cheops was the builder of the pyramid
which bears his name, and, as if to make
the structure perpetuate his deeds for all
time to come, the very stones and bricks
of which it is composed are stamped with
his name. Cheops lived nearly $500
years ago, his great pyramid being an
antiquity in the days when the great
nations of old were ~ their youth, and
yet we of this Nineteenth century can
have the satisfaction of looking upon the
very ring ne wore so proudly upon his
royal finger! The hieroglyphics on the
ring are infinitely accurate and beauti-
fully executed, the ring itself being of
finest gold and weighing nearly an ounce.
The oval signet bears the name OF Che
ops, which is in hieroglyphics in perfect
accord with the stamp on the bricks of
the great pyramid This remarkable an
tiquity was found in a tomb at Ghizeh.
1t now reposes in the museum of the
New York Historical society.-St. Louis

Some of the members of the board of

Rob Row Had the Rest of II

The far famed Rob Roy MacGregc~
was confessedly the best swords1nan OF
his day. His celebrity for welding the
claymore excited MacNeil oe Barra, to
visit him for the express purpose of try
ing his prowess. Barra was a gentle
man, possessing the qualities that endear
a chief to his clan, with the accomplish
ments which confer acceptability in pol
ished circles. On arriving at Rob Roy's
house the MacNeil chieftain found he
was at Buchanan attending the market.
and thither he repaired. He met sew
eral gentlemen on horseback on their
way home, and accosting the nearest,
begged TO know if Rob Roy was still at
the fair.

FUNERAL OF DOM PEDRO.

PARIS, Dec 9-The French government
having determined 10 give the ex-emperor
of Brazil royal funeral, the Place de la
Madeleine today was lined with four regi-
ments of infantry and regiment of
cuirassiers. His death caused universal
sorrow, and in the great crowd that
assembled were many poor people, who
will not soon forget the kindnesses they
received at his hands. Many OF them shed
tears as they gazed tor the last time upon
the features of the dead eX-ruler.
Shortly before the time fixed for the be-
ginning of the celebration of the solemn
high mass OF requiem, the doors CT the
church were closed, and none but mem
bers of Dom Pedro's family, and those
who held tickets of invitation, were
allowed to enter. The church was soon
densely packed. The mourning decora-
tons were beautiful. An immense cata-
falque had been erected in the center of the
church, and on this the coffin containing
the remains of Dom Pedro repoSed On
the coffin plate was an elaborate Latin in
scription composed by the Able David,
member of the French institute, and
lifelong friend of Dom Pedro's.
Princess Isabella, Dom Pedro's daughter.
and the eX-princess imperial of Brazil and
husband, Count D Eu, sat at the right of
the bier. They were accompanied By their
three sons Close by sat Prince and
Princess DeJainville, Prince Louis Phil
lippe de Bourbon, the duke de Renthievre
the duke de Charities, the duke d'Aumale,
and the duke de Nemoures. All the diplo-
mats at present in Paris were in atten-
dance and occupied seats to the right of
the bier President Carnot was repre-
scented at the services by General Bruyere.
To the lett of the bier were seated eX-
Queen I,bella of Spain, the duchess de
Chartres and the countess of Trapani, an
infanta of Spain.
At the railway station the coffin was
conveyed from the hearse to car, which
was draped in black. When the relatives
and friends entered the railway carriages
the train started for Lisbon, where the
funeral services will be held. The remains
will be inferred in the family vault.

ANOTHER CHICAGO CORNER.

CHICAGO, Dec 9-The corn pit was the
center of interest on the board OF trade
today, and a fever of excitement prevailed
throughout, with lightning changes aud
unusual strides upwards. In less than
two hours from the opening the price of
December or year corn advanced over IL
cents from the opening, with the excite
ment and strain at times very intense 1t
has been understood for some time that
there was to be bull deal in December
corn. The short interest was believed to be
heavy, and with little of the contract
grade in store, the current receipts of that
grade would put it in the power of the
longs to squeeze tie shorts to almost any
extent. December closed yesterday at
4S5E cents and started at 4S15@g4S54 cents
today.
But rumor got started that Cudahy,
Charlie Wright and few other operators
had got control of the market on the long
side and had got the old November clique
short and intended to squeeze them I'M
llercifully. This started the whole crowd
of shorts to buying at once, and, as there
was little for sale, a season of wild excite
ment followed, prices going up and 2
cents at a clip, until 60 cents was paid-an
increase of ll$ cents from yesterday. The
market was very feverish, with frequent
reactions, going off to 50 cents shortly after
noon. 1t rallied to 81 cents, broke to So
cents again, and closed firm at 5315 Jan
uary sympathized to some extent with
December.
The motive behind the prospective cor
ner seems to be revenge Cudahy, Steever,
Wright and several other active provision
men, who were short in November. it is
said have bought from Patton Bros,
Bartlett-Fazier Coster, Martin and Others,
who we're prominent in November, from
3. 900, 600 to 100000 bushels of year and
December corn and are prepared to repay
the agony they endured a few days ago,
when they bought for rs cents corn they
had sold for so cents.
There are only about go, 600 bushels of
contract corn in store here, and the re-
mainder of the 100000 bushels which
the Bartlett-Frazier and Coster-Martin
crowd are said to be short the latter can
only get by either going, hat in hand, to
their venomous feeling opponents-the
provision syndicate, or bring it in from
the country. even if they can find it there,
which seems improbable, in view of the
grading of the receipts now coming in. 1t
IS believed that the November clique sold
heavily for December and expected to de-
liver the corn they received or the Novem
Der deal on such sales They did not get
AS much corn as they expected and now
find themselves heavily short, with little
corn in store and practically none coming
