M'ALllSTER'S JOKE.
How He Made the Indians Believe They
Had Found Gold Mine.

Had Found n NSold MINE.
Prof McAllister. the prestidigitateur and
ventriloquist happened TO be travelling
across Lower Idaho some years ago, on his
way from one town TO another, says the st.
Louis Globe D,T.ocrdt. 1t was in the days OF
early stage-coaching, before railroads were
quite SO plentiful as at the present time.
The professor, one afternoon before the
show commenced, in wandering about the
streets Of, | think it was Lewiston, en-
countered on the outskirts of the town
small band of Indians. Two or three COM
panlons were with him. While chatting to
gcther looking about and observing things
gen rally. McAllister became quite familiar
with InoDgrel dog owned by the redskins,
whom nc proceeded to pet nonchalantly.
" Fine dog said the professor.
"Ughi' grunted the buck.
"How much you sell him for1n asked the
magician.
ugh! two dollars,n replied the buck,
holding up pair of dirty fingers TO indicate
the amount.
- Him very fine dog" said McAllister,
stroking the eur's back and taking a gold
piece from the tip of his nose.
"Hil biw exclaimed the redskin, looking
on in astonshment, his eyes ready to start
from his head in excitement.
=" Him very fine dog, indeed" quietly
continued the professor, this time taking
whole handful of coin from the dogs
mouth, nose and ears, which he transferred
to his pockets.
Strange noises were heard proceeding
from the interior OF the brute. He groaned
and laughed and howled and barked, at all
of which the poor, deluded redskin stood in
the utmost awe and astonishment, and
couldn't for the life of them understand
what had come over the spirit of the ami
NAL II was hard to tell which was the
most surprised, the Indian or the dog.
After filing his pockets with gold and TAX
ing another fstful from the ours nose, the
professor left the redskins in peace. He
had not been gone ten minutes before the
latter pounced upon the poor, doomed ami
mai and cut him wide open. Like the goose
that laid the golden egg, there was nothing
inside, and 1t was only fair TO presume that
the only reward was n fine feast upon ribs
of roast dog, Drowned to a turD.

WoOd-Carving In Berlin.

Berlin, it seems, has gradually become the
headquarters of the carved-wood industry,
supplanting Switzerland. Six hundred
artists in wood carving, the same number
of turner's, and 200 carpenters are engaged
in manufacturing such articles as cigar
cases, newspaper and picture frames, nap
kin-rings, etc. The value Of the annual ex-
port of these articles is given as 5,OOOOOo
marks, and this is exclusive of the costly
carved wood furniture, the manufacture
and export of which are assuming large
proportions.

PARIS, Oct. I'm an interview Henri
Rochefort says that since May last he
had seen some sort OF catastrophe in
General Boulangcr's career. The death
OF Nine. dc Bonncmain appeared to de-
stroy the generals ambition and lie had
rcproached himself for running her who
had abandoned everything to follow
his fortunes. He had only decided to
live for her sake IN tho hope of return
ing to France. NJ. Rochciort believes
that even had General Boulanger been
able to satisfy his highest political am
bition he would have committed sui

ucl.
ROME, October "a company OF pill
grims after having been received
by the Pope was visiting tho
notable sanctuaries OF the city.
While they were ct the Pantheon
they manifested open disrespect OF the
tomb OF King Victor Emanuel, who uni
fed Italy, deprived the Pope OF his tenn
poral power and made Rome his capital.
Some OF the bystanders protested Wig
orously against such disrcspect OF the
illustrious dead. One word led to an
other and row between the pilgrims
and the defenders OF Victor Emanuel
followed.
When the news OF the disturbance
spread through Rome. bands oi young
men began to gather Immediately
il many quarters and marched in
procession through the streets singing
anti-clcrical and patriotic airs and hoot-
ing and Kissing ut pilgrims who Glanced
across their path.
The procession marched to the hotels
occupied by the pilgrims and loudly
demanded that the Italian flag be dis
played. The proprietors were quick TO
accede to this patriotic demand, and
when the national flag appeared the
crowd raised an enthusiastic cheer,
which was long continued. At thcsame
time the groans for the pilgrims were
rcdoubled.

BUSINESS BOOMING
r. G.. Dun g. Co.'s Weekly Roviow
of tho Condition of Trade.
The MOST ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK
Throughout tho Country -.-- Many
Farmers VIII Get for Their Wheat
Crop More than tho Cost Of Their
Entire Farms..-Thc Iron aud Wool
business Good..-From Everywhere
Como Reports of General Prosperity.

New YoRH, Oct. 2.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review OF trade: Tho past
week has brought the expected reaction
in stocks with the passing Of divi-
dend by the Missouri PaciGc and some
troubles among Western roads. But in
the business OF the country no reaction
appears, nor are there signs OF dscour-
agement. In great many cases farmers
will realize for their wheat grown this
year more than, the entire cost OF their
farms. ~
The iron markets arc distinctly
stronger, there is less pressure to sell
and concessions arc more rare, even
though any advance in prices is as yet
resisted.
Large sales OF copper ut l2I cents arc
reported, but tin has sold as low as 20
cents and sales OF lead are small and
tin plate moderate. Tobacco has risen
3 to cents in the Connecticut valley
and the producers are realizing large
profits. Sales Of dry goods are larger in
the aggregate. but in light weights far
below last year and many looms are
idle ior the present. Sales OF wool at
the different markets are not three per
cent below last year thus far. Boston
reports closer money market and sat
isfactory trade.
In spite OF several more circulars ad-
vising farmers to hold their wheat the
price has declined about cent. Corn
has advanced . cents, oats II cents; !;
pork products have changed but 4
tritle.
Railroad earnings exceed last years.

FIRE AT HALIFAX.
Burns Many buildings, and Docs Much
Other Damage.

Other Damage.
HALIFAX, n. S., Oct. 2.-Tho most
disastrous fire that has visited Halifax
for years broke out before II o'clock
last night in the Merlin planning mill on
Taylor's wharf near the Cunard wharvcs.
In n few minutes the place was all ablazc
and the fire spread rapidly. A breeze
from the north carried showers OF live
sparks to the buildings, vessels and
wharvcs south OF the fire. The whole
department was called out, and then
engines from Dartmouth came over to
render assistance. Within an hour
AIerlin's mill, Wilson'S blacksmith
shops, John Taylor and Co.'s big ware
house and yards, all on Taylor's and
Boookiield's wharvcs were destroyed.
By this time the fire had spread to Liv-
crpool wharf on the north, and burned
out Buffers spar yard, the Halifax
broom factory, ]. .. Neill's & Co., COM
mission merchants, and Shatfod Broth
crs oil dealers.
Large quantities OF petroleum was
stored on the wharf. An explosion was
prevented by rolling the oil into the
dock. The fire also spread simultanc-
ously to the south wharf and soon tho
immense fish warehouses OF John Taylor
& Co. were prey to the flames. BY .
o'clock the whole block from John
Cronin's on the south to the north side
OF Hamilton's wharf ont the north almost
adjoining the Cunard wharves and had
been DESTROYED.

The platform testified its devotion to
the flag OF the Union, and the unquench-
able love OF its members for the laws
and institutions Of this country. Re-
gretted the conditions now existing in
Ireland, and attribute their possibility
OF an unfortunate tendency toward hero
worship. 1t is the duty OF the Irish,
and all other oppressed people, to seek
freedom by pe0ceable methods, and
only when such methods have been
fully tried and found wanting are ma
tions and people justified in Iesorting
to force, but We strongly and emphati-
cally assert that it is equally duty to
prepare for every emergency.
In conclusion, it resolved to main.
tain the organization ior the purpose OF
being in readiness for the performance
OF such duties as the cxigencics Of the
future shall show to be fit and proper.
Before motion for the adoption OF
the platform could be put Judge DON

nounced that there was minority re-
port from the platform. He proceeded

"Resolred, That as American citizens
and drm believers in tho principles on
which our government is founded, we
can recognize the claim OF no person to
