UNION STOCK YARDS CHICAGO, /
August Oath, 1891. J
Special to the LIGHT.
The supply of Texas cattle at all
points for the week has been barely
up to the average receipts for this
time of year. During the first half of
the week the demand seemed too
light for the supply and buyers broke
prices Is to 20 cents on all grades.
Since then the demand has improved
and arrivals of Thursday and Friday
have been taken al an advance which
about offset the decline of the early
part of the week. The most of Texas
cattle are now coming in very good
flesh, the bulk of receipting being
from north Texas and the territory.
Strings of good western range cattle
are now coming to market; they are
tat, smooth, heavy weight, high
grade light shrInkers, and better to
export, except for their wildness than
many native that are used. Such ex-
porters as have tried shipping them
claim they will scarcely touch food or
water during the entire voyage, and,
as consequence, arrive in very bad
shape.
The week has been unsatisfactory
to sellers of native cattle all but dry
fed. Cattle have sold unevelily lower
until today, when q better feeling
prevailed, and most sales averaged
ten cents higher.
The supply OF sheep has not been
large this week; buyers were bearish.
and resisted any advances; in some
cases medium Texans and Westerns
sold shade lower than last week.
We do not anticipate any marked
change In cattle or sheep values next
week.

South Carolina Crops.

COLUMBIA, ). g., Aug. A.-The
weather conditions during the past
week were conducive to the maturity
of the cotton crop. The plant now has
considerable quantity of fruit. The
fields are white with blossoms and
the probabilities are that with al Or
binary season they will mature. There
has been SO far no damage from cat

damage on sandy lands, but the in
jury is confined to a few localities.
The prospect for an average crop OF
cotton is much more encouraging than
for previous weeks. The corn crop

We see q statement in the Facts, that
"ffteen years ago plate glass was selling at

All, but, Bro. McMullin, you know
that "sugar is not competitive ar
ticle," as our friends the Protection
lists say-forgetting that it has been
"a competitive article" for many
years, in the same sense that tin, and
wool, and tropical fruits, and other
protected articles have been and now
are. In fact, as to tin-plate, a pound
of it was never produced in this coun-
try, and yet the McKinleyites clamor
ed for higher duties upon it in order
to make it one of the competitive
articles" of the United States. It is
likely to become such, just as the
manufacture of every article on the
protected list is sustained: by forcing
the people to pay more for it than it
would cost them if trade were free and
untrammeled. We ask our Protee.
ZIONIST brethren this one question:

Mr.. Rarnum's Religious Faith.

The LATE Mr.. Barnum. like Horace
his life, and in his will he singled out
Universalist institutions to be recipients
of his bounty. He believed in the ulti.
mate salvation of all mankind. The tor
lures of hell seemed to him inconsistent
with the Divine justice. mercy and loving
kindness.
Formerly that belief was looked upon
by orthodoxy as dangerous and pestil-
ent heresy. In 1864 when Joseph Catch
ell preached in Massachusetts that :all
men should be saved'' he was sentenced
by the Suffolk County Court Ito the pill
lory, and to have his tongue drawn forth
and pierced with a hot iron.'' In our
own day the denunciations of Universal
ism from orthodox pulpits have been fire.
quent and violent. Universalists were
counted as altogether outside of the
evangelical fold, and as little better than
intide:s.
Mr. Barnum lived to see all this chang
ed. Before he died Protestant orthodoxy
had given up the hell doctrine, or at least
had ceased to preach it. Even the Pres
byterians. in whose formal Confession of
Faith it is fundamental, were anxious to
get rid of IT.. More than that some of
their greatest theological leaders had
gone further toward OverthrOwing the
authority of Scripture generally than
any of the founders of JJuiyerSaliSm went.
As compared with Prof. Briggs, Mr..
Barnum. probably, was conservative in
his religious belief. He was not an ag-
nOstic.
Uuiversalism is no longer confined to
any single Protestant denomination, and
therefore the reason for the separate eX-
istence of the UniyersalistS as distinct
sect seems to be gone. Mr.. Darnum died
in the faith which now prevails among
Protestants, so far as concerns the saliva
ton of all MEM. Y. Sun.

She is modest, but not bashful.
Free and easy but not bold;
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too ola;
Half inviting, half repulsiye.
Now advancing, and now shy
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She has schooled in all the arts;
She has taken her diploma
AS the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Oh, maid is sometimes charming!
But q widow-all the while.
Are you sad? How very serious
Will her handsome face become!
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb!
Are you mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out!
She can lure and catch and play you,
As the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bald and wise;
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love looks in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But know little widow
Who could win and fool you all.
