The Courier-Journal Of Monday morning,
July 25 1892, speaking Of the Louisville
lky.) tobacco market. says:
The close Of the week finds tho tobacco
market about where II was seven days ago.
The receipts have been tair for the season,
and the offerings pretty good in quantity.
The features of the week have been the firm
tone TO the low grades Of filters and the
scarcity and stiffness Of good colory styles.
The sellers seemed 10 be getting rid Of their
odds and ends, and mighty scarce were the
hogsheads Of fine bright. choice TOBACCO.
Eeverything OF q colory nature ~ for cut
ting for wrappers OF smokers was wanted
aud commanded a good price. The lower
grades of red hurley filters and trash were
not equal in supply 10 the wants Of buy
eT5. and prices were kept up TO quotations
Red tobRccos of the medium grades, If not
lower dld not at least partake of the
strength displayed by the lower qualities
and tho numerous reflections indicated that
holders were not satisfied with the bids.
These were tobaccos ranging in prices from
IS 10 as. Dark and Green river types were
neglected more or less, though when sweet
and well cured they went of well.

day: A. X. Bowman. Iynchburg James M.

nonomotric Queen Victoria.

II gives one quite shock TO learn that
Queen Victoria is ''monometric." PROBES
soF Karl Vogt says so. In his recent memoir
of DR.. August Wilhelm Hoffman, ne di-
vides women generally into 'polymetrio
and monometric ladies'" and says the
queen is in the mono" class. A woman
OF this species says he, always selects one
man whom she constitutes her measure
or ideal of all other men Of the same Office,
social class or profession. For the queen
of England. " says the old republican phi
losopher, there existed only one perfect
husband, the prince consort; only one con-
animate flower of craftsmanship, Lord
Disraeli Beaoonsfeld; and only one ideally
complete natural scientist, August Will
helm Hoffman,"
The loyal Englishman will ask what the
queen had to do with the late DIR. Hoif-
mann. When she made her Rhine tour
with Prince Albert after their marriage,
che expressed an eager desire 10 see the
rooms in which her husband had lived
during his student days at Bonn. They
were inhabited at the time by DIR. Hof-
mann. and the queen found the then pfi-
vatdozent at the university busy at
chemical experiment. The scientist, as
Professor Vogt punningly says, was
Hoffman, (courtierly mani in nature as
well as in surname" The young queen
was charmed with his talk, concluded
that there was no other such chemical re-
searcher in the world, and this was the
reason why he was called In lS4S TO the
ROYAL Colleae Of Chemistry in Lnndon-
