One Way to Sell Cigars.

A South Illinois street druggist man, says the
Indianapolis Sentinel, worked a novel cigar
selling scheme few weeks ago in the following
fashion He found stray nickel on the floor
OF his store one morning and resolved to post
this notice on the window Of his store:
" sum of money found on Tuesday last in
this establishment. The owner will receive the
same within upon describing the money"
The scheme worked like a charm. Hundreds
OF citizens came in daily for over a week, while
the notice was left on the window, describing
their losses and bewailing their misfortune
Invariably every applicant FOR the lost money
bought cigar Some were satisfied with
scent straight whifS, but the great majority,
anxious TO impress the drug man faVorably
toward their claims, invested in two-for-a-
quarter. So great was the rush that the fortunate
druggist had to order fresh consignment Of
choics brands. None Of the applicants ever ap-
pied for the nickel. All the claims ran up into
the hundreds of dollars, one man stating be
missed his bank book with 1880.

had advanced higher on renewed wet weather.
This Immediately set the pit here in a fomert,
during which practically no wheat could be
bought until from around 99J4cNS1 0014 was Of
fered. The price advanced to 81 005k before this
buying fever abated and as the excitement les
sened the price began to dwinde also. The ad-
vance had been helped by the heavy clearancss,
amounting TO 1,O00,0 G0 bushels. Then came a
cablegram quoting the continental market
higher In spite of the fact that
the closing Liverpool quotation was
enormous Another scramble 10 buy in short
wheat occurred on the rally which followed.
and prices went up in about ten minutes from
around 81 0016 TO 81 0l9s; there was another
worked off again to 81 0015. but the shorts by
this time had become thoroughly demoralized.
1t took but moderate pressure from the bulls
to again shove prices up to 81 0l5S, and closed
81 001S. Corn opened strong and higher on
private reports of killing frosts in the
west and northwest and fears that this
area of low temperature would spread over the
corn belt. Receipts were rs cars short OF esti-
mates. The weather map showed slight frosts
to have occurred in portions of Iowa aud South
Dakota. and killing frosts at Cheyenne, Wyom
ing, aud MooIehead, Mimi Those were influ-
ences which brought out buyers
at the opening for October at
from 5914 05915 cents, compared with $50 cents
at the close OF the preceding session. The pre-
diction of the signal service bureau for to night s
temperature being that light frosts would oc-
cur IN the northern portions of tie corn belt
in Wisconsin caused further advance, dur
ing which October sold up to sos cents.
The closing prices were within small fractions
of the list of the day, October closing at 6ec.
There was little of interest in oats. Price
changes were few and unimportant fluctuations
for the day amounting to only ss015c. Home
products opened very firm, and under good buy
ing price started UP and became stronger and
stronger the session advanced the latest
prices being the highest of the day. Pork
closed at an advance Of 271S935c, lard 10c, ribs

ed. II happened that the. term OF en-
listment of several regiments ran out,
but they were not discharged. This the
men regarded as a great hardship and
many walked off without asking per
mission of anyone and betools them
selves to their homes. One morning
as Col. Sherman was crossing Long
bridge, he met n major under his COM
mand in full uniform making toward
the city. He asked him why he was
absent from his post, and the major re-
piled that the time for which he had en-
listed had expired and he meant to go
home. Sherman saw that strong meas
ures were necessary and said:
"If you don't at once go back to your
regiment will shoot you"
The major stood not on the order of
his going, but retired with speed. On
the following day there was u divisional
review, and Sherman was sitting on his
horse, near President Lincoln's carriage,
when the officer with whom he had the
encounter approached and desired to
make a complaint to the president
II wish to complain of Col. Sherman"
he said. Yesterday l started to go to
the city, and he told me he would shoot
me if / did not return to the camp"
Leaning over the carriage and speaking
in whisper that was perfectly audible
to all in the vicinity, Mr.. Lincoln
said: Is.
"My friend, if I were in your place,
and if Sherman said that to me- would
not try to leave camp, for he looks just
like man who would keep his word"
The major retired in confusion amidst
shouts of laughter from the bystandcrs,
and there were no more attempts at
irregular departures made in Sherman's
command.-Detroit Free Press.

SCATTERING SHOT.

MRS. GRANTS correspondence is SO
large that she finds it impossible to at
tend to it all. She gives preference to
letters from old soldiers and endeavors
to answer them with her own pen.
AT the close of the fiscal year 1890
Ohio had 81, ,Os7 pensioners; New York,
So 2O6; Pennsylvania, 49,57s; Indiana,

lucky, 1900. The number in none of
the rest of the states comes up to five
figures.
THERE have been four notable fun
erals in this country since the close of
the war-those of Lincoln, Garfield,
Grant and Sherman respectively. Sheri-
dams obsequies did not attract such
widespread public attention as did
those of the other great men named. 1t
may be truly said that at the bier OF
each of the four mentioned the nation
mourned. '''
MR.. EDMUNDs is quoted as wondering
why Sherman and Grant always liked
Joe Johnston so much and yet were in
different to Lee. "Of course Gen.
Johnston is most charming man So
cially," he added, land SO, / under
stand, was Lee. Perhaps their par
tiality for Johnston is due in measure
to the fact that Lee was exceedingly
reserved in his demeanor toward all
persons who came in contact with
him"

With one exception it was the largest

by special act of Congress, and not un.

How They Snatched Up "A Dinner ut Which
Ho Had just Sat Down.
Mr.. j. c. Jamison, of Pittsburgh, tells
an interesting story of Sherman's march
to the sea. For eighteen days the men
had been on quarter rations,
and on this particular morning
they took up their weary march
without any breakfast Along about
noon they came to pretty plantation,
presided over by a cultured and wealthy
adherent of the lost cause. His man
sion was palatable and everything the
eye beheld betokened plenty.
Visions of square meal arose before
the tired boys in blue, and those in the
van quickened their pace and soon were
on dead run for the house. Mr.. Jami-
son was something of n sprinter in
those days, and was the first to reach
the house. He dashed through the liitch-
en- and headlong into the dining-room,
but no sooner had he passed the door than
he stopped, transtiXed with horror. Be-
fore him sat Gen. Sherman and some of
his staff officers, the guests of the
house. Before them was steaming
dinner.
Anticipating lhSIdht dtresC, hT' Ja'ui-
son tried to retreat but the hungry
hosts blocked the way. They showed
him forward, and brawny hand reach
ed over his shoulder and seized savory
spring chicken. That was rs signal,
and in an instant the groaning table
was stripped of everything edible.
'Generall' shouted the enraged ex-
ponent of southern chivalry 'do you
stand silently by and see me thus plum
dered?"
Yes" quietly responded Gen. Sher-
man. ''The boys are hungry. They
have been on quarter rations for eigh-
teen days, and we are living off the
country. 1 guess they need the dinner
worse than we o."-Pittsburgh Dis
