Victims of the Corn "Corner."

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-As q result of the
corn corner" 100. 600 bushels of November
corn were defaulted this afternoon at the
end of the session of the Board of Trade.
T. j. Ryan 81 Co. are defaulters to the ex-
tent of 10000 bushels, and 1t is rumored
that Blum 81 Eggleston are among the
firms making up the other 10000 bushels.
The reason that Ryan a. Co. are defaulters
Is an injunction issued by Judge Tuley re-
straining them from filling the order of
Harry b. Schloss. Mr.. Schloss contracted
to deliver November corn when the price
was 49l4 cents. He did not have the corn
stored. and when iu became necessary for
him TO pay 50 cents n busbel for the &c, coo
bushels he brought an injunction suit on
the grounds that n combination had been
formed and the price advanced to an I'M
law ui figure. The corn was contracted to
Lamson Bros. and in turn sold by them.
They expect to pay this shortage and bring
suit against +. J. Ryan. The firms who
are supposed to be in the deal are Bartlett,
Frazier IL Co., who arc credited with being
the engineers. G. NJ. Armstrong. Andrews

Two British Officers Dismissed from the
Army for Losing Their Heads mt Manipur.
LONDON. Nov. 30-The actual charges
made against Captain Boileau and Captain
Butcher. which led to their names being
stricken from the army list. are not yet
known. but the conjecture that they grew
out of the retreat from Manipuris probably
correct. in fact, the ST. James Gazette to-
day publishes o ommen upon the sentence
imposed upon the two officers. in which il
is taken for granted that this is the reason
for .heir expulsion from the army. The
Gazette says: THE sentences ought not to
surprise the public. They are severe, but
we cannot say they are undiscovered. Mrs.
Grimwood's narrative evidences that the
retreat was a disorderly stampede. It was
not made To save her life; on the contrary,
she was left to save herself until the fugi-
rIvcs recovered from their panic. The re-
treat from Manipur was necessary, but u
stand might have been made in the hills in
the vicinity. Had this been done the lives
OF the captIves might AVE been saved. AT
any rate, the disaster would not have been
a disgrace. At the same time. we wait with

Growth of Our Language.

The dictionary of the Anglo Saxon
tongue has grown wonderfully since DIR.
Johnson's time. "Webster's International
Dictionary" contains many thousands of
words that are not to be found in the vo-
cabulary of the great English lexicog-
rapher, and considerable proportion of
and processes to which it was absolutely
necessary to give distinguishing names.
The nomenclature of science has been i'm
mensely extended within the last fifty
years, and although some of the new terms
are rather far fetched and, except to clas-
steal scholars, obscure, many of them are
SO pat and significant that we can all
understand their meaning.
Whenever plain and simple words of
Saxon derivation will apply, we think they
ought to have the preference, even in sci
entific technology, over those of Greek or
Latin origin. Information for the people
should be couched, whenever possible, in
language which the great body of the peo-
pie can easily comprehend. 1t certainly
should not be necessary for a boy 10 be
versed in the dead Languages in order t. I'M
derstand his own.
1t has been said that the languages which
most readily welcome the terms that adj
vancing knowledge needs are likely to en-
dure the longest and spread the most ex-
tenSively- Ii this theory is true our own
tongue has the best chance of becoming
universal, and it may be reasonably sup
posed that 1.-The last man" will pronounce

1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives rs through sleeping car

be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita Ii

lnpersniI on California

In recent magazine article. Mr.. Ernest
1ngersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt.
Its equability is constant, and its dryness
is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now aud
then that rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation But this sentiment
meets wi b no favor from the man W no has
just fled from superfiuity of wetness aud
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise. and to the in

Dinners for the Paon1a

The art OF living TO the best advantage

4 ShreWd Lawyer.

u S0foWQ Lawyer.
Has this story ever appeared in print! If
so, l have never seen it, and tell it as it
was told to me. A certain young Russian,
of good family, fell in love with village
girl, whom he wished to marry. His
father, objecting on the ground of social
disparity, made arrangements by which
the girl was betrothed to young peasant
of her own class. Now, it is the custom in
some parts of Russia for the bridegroom
and his friends to begin drinking early in
the day of the marriage, SO that when the
time comes for the church ceremony the
groom has often to be led to the altar and
supported by friend on either hand. This
happened on the morning of the marriage
of the girl. The bridegroom was led to the
altar supported by two men, of whom one
was the young gentleman himself.
Now mark his craft and subtlety. When
the time came for joining hands he put
out his own hand, the groom being too far
gone to notice any thing, and so was joined
in matrimony to the girl. The certificate
of the marriage had already been written
in the register before the ceremony, pre-
caution obviously necessary. The wedding
over the young noble took the girl from
0Gf D6OD3c dt lu6 Gu IT'LL OOOT, OfOfC uCI
away and took her to Paris, where they
lived together in love and amity for sew
eral years. Then the kather died, and it
became necessary to return to Russia, and
if possible, for the sake Of the children, to
get the marriage duly acknowledged.
This business was intrusted to lawyer,
who visited the village and saw the regis
ter. He returned, stating that it was inn
possible, because the marriage was entered
in the books as between the rustic and the
girl Being. however. assured that some
thing must be done, he returned, got pos
session of the register, and clu1nsily erased
the name of the rustic bridegroom. This
done heat this point you ask what he
did, and everybody says, "FHled in the
other name" No he did nots he wrote
again over the erasure the name-of the vii
lage swain. Consider this for one mo-
ment. You will acknowledge that he was
a very clever lawyer, indeed.-Walter
Besant in Manchester Times.

Takers and Conversation.

Some may say that the talker, like the
poet, is born, and not made. But, after
all, the ''warbling- is-native-woodnotes
wild' theory is very doubtful one. Nat
ure must do much, but art must add
thereto. Ben Jonson, in his lines to the
memory of Shakespeare, debates this ques-
ton, and concludes that "a good poets
made as well as born" The same may be
said of a good talker. He is in part born
and in part made. There are some people
without the proper mental qualifications.
But even where such natural qualifica-
tons exists they do not suffice. A very
little social experience makes US shudder
at the idea of the untutored talker. We
are sometimes tempted to believe that
men of the Polonius stamp are sent to re-
mind US that the curse is not yet removed.
But there is greater nuisance than
Polonius. There is the bore of another
species-who is brutal and calls it sinceri-
ty, or impertinent and calls it anxiety for
your soul. Let us have art, then, as well
as nature. Distinction in conversation is
very rare thing, more rare even than ora
torical power. One great reason for this is
that, even among those who would desire
it, many do not find the requisite social
conditions; and of those who do, not one
in thousand possesses the requisite COM
bination of physical, mental and moral
qualities.
Some have powder and no ball, others
ball and no powder. Some have great COM
mand of language and little of thought.
With others the conditions are reversed. l
have referred to our modern feverish life
as being unfavorable to conversation.
There are other sOcial conditions to be con-
sidered. Just as certain combination of
gases, which we call the atmosphere,
around us is necessary for human life, so
certain social atmosphere is requisite for
good talk, and the greater or less amount
of social oxygen makes all the difference
between languid or commonplace exchange
of words and brilliant Conversation
