Sullivan Licked.

At New Orleans during the twenty-frst
round in the fight between Corbett and Sui
Ivan, the latter was put to sleep.
After Sullivan was brought around he
stepped to the middle of the ring and made
a speech, saying that he was glad the cham
pionship remained in America, but that he
had fought once too often in the ring.
The ovation that Corbett received was
something tremendous and he walked around
the ring kissing and hugging his friends.
The bitterest hour of John L. Sullivan's life
had come at last.

Cas- Weekly Review of Trade says:
Last weeks semi panic in stocks and grain
has been followed by more confident feel
ing about the cholera, - il 10 seen that the
pestilence thus far is confined to incoming
ships by the national regulations. which all
officers are now respecting.
Stock advanced about Is cents per share
on the whole, though in other markets the
alarm of last week still continued. The
general condition Of the industries and trade
throughout the country is not only remsrka-
bly, good but is improving perceptibly from
week to week, although exports of merchan-
disc are not yet large enough to prevent
some shipments of gold.
The iron industry grows moro active.
Nearly all the works have full orders and the
output is now heavy. Nails advanced 10
cents per keg, but weakness appears in the
prices of structural and plate iron.
The expected war between tho Pennsyk
vania and Reading roads causes dizziness
in coal.
The cattle receipts at Chicago for the year
are ID per cent: larger than last year, and
were nearly Is per cent. larger.
All textile works are remarkably busy, and
in dry goods q better demand is seen for
medium grade worsteds and the demand is
in excess of the supply for plain wool goods,
while the prices of cottons are firm, some
advancing.
Wheat sold at 771< cents, and excepting
In two days in 1884 no lower prices have been
recorded here. The western receipts have
been $4,000 bushels in four days, against
LOO, 900 of Atlantic exports.
Oats are half cent higher. but corn il
much lower, with Frightening crop prospects
at the vest. Coffee is Is lower. Cotton had
advanced CLIO during the week, although the
Financial Chronicle makes the last crop 81
OBS, 900 bales and the decrease in acreage this
year only IL per cent. With the restricted
exports of products at present, the foreign
exchange is already strong, but the treasury
has out in new notes 500, 600 more than it
has added to its stocks of gold and silver and
money markets throughout the country are
fairly supplied, while the conditions in all
quarters are very fair for the season. It is
expected that some more gold will 60 out
this week. But no apprehension appears as
yet on account of this unusually long con-
tinued movement because the supplies of
currency available are remarkably large and
the interior markets appear to demand less
money from the seaboard centers than is
usually demanded at this season.
Business failures in the United States the
past week were 146, compared with 189 the
corresponding week last year.

Death of J. G, Whittier,

John Greenleaf Whittier died at Hampton
Falls, n. H., on the morning If September

His nearest relatives and Dr.. Douglass were
at his bedside when death came and he
seemed to be conscious of his surroundings
at the last moment. The funeral will take
place at Amesbury, Mass, at 2 30 p. N. Sat
urday.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
John Greenleaf Whittier was born in Hav-
erhill. Mass, December II, 1907. His par
ents belonged to the Society of Friends, of
which he is also a member. He worked on
the farm till his twentieth year, attended
Haverhill academy two years, and in 1929
became editor of the American Manufacturer
in Boston, and in 1880 of the New England
Weekly Review at Hartford.
But he soon returned to the farm, and in
1885 was member of the Massachusetts
legislature.
In 1886 he was appointed secretary of the
American Anti-Slavery society, and removed
to Philadelphia, where in 1859 he edited
the Pennsylvania Freeman, the Office of
which was sacked and burned by a mob.
From this time he was one of the most prom
inent anti-slavery men in the country, and
his writings, both prose and poetry, we're
largely IN support of that cause.
In 1910 he removed to Amsbury, Mass,
where he still resided, and in 1847 became
corresponding editor of the National Era, an
antl-slavery newspaper published in WASH
ingtOn. He was never married. His prose
publicatlo1s are: Legends of New England,
partly in verse, Justice and Expediency or
Slavery Considered with View to It's Adolf
ton, The Stranger in Lowell, Supernatural
ism IN New England. Leaves from Margaret
Smiths Journal, Old Portraits and Modern
Sketches, Literary Recreations. His poeti-
cal works include, Mogg Megone, Ballads,
Lays of My Home, The Bridal of Pennacock,
The Voices of Freedom, Songs of Labor. The
Chapel of the Hermits, The Panorama,
Home Ballads and Poems, In War Iine,
Snow Bound, The Tent on the Beach,
Among the Hills, Miriam, The Pennsylvania
Pilgrim, Mabel Martin, and Hazel Blossoms.
Several collective editions have been pub
lished. AS a poet Whittier was more pc
culiarly American than any other of equal
fame. His poems have been largely ILL
spired by current events, and their patriotic,
democratic and humane spirit gives them a
strong hold upon the public. He wrote a
hymn for the opening of the centennial ex-
hibition at Philadelphia in 1876.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.

Parades and Tableau the Fashlon-A
Chance for the Local Agricultu-
rfst.
ST. LOUIS, September 12.-All the great
shows st. Louis is to have this winter seem
to group themselves about the month of the
Fall Festivities. The crowd already here
has arrived just in time to see the big Ia
Dor day parade, which filed the streets
with marching men, flying banners and
music this week. The celebration of Ger
man day will take place before the peo-
pie leave the city. This is festival peculiar
to St. Louis, which other large cities in the
There is a parade of tableaux on floats, sec
ond in beauty only to the Yelled Prophets
procession, and an open air entertainment
in the afternoon at the Fair Grounds, where
national amusements hold the ground till a
late hour. From twenty to thirty thousand
people are in the parade, and over fifty
thousand go out to the Fair Grounds, to say
nothing of the thousands who ride out there
to look at the scene from curiosity.
Farmers in the Southwestern States who
have little corners of land which they can't
plant with anything, profitably, would make
good deal of money easily If they would
follow the suggestion to them in the combi-
nation just effected by the castor oil mills in
st. Louis. This city makes over half of all
the castor oil in the United States, and the
companies have got tired of the fluctuations
in price brought about by competition. They
will now fix the pr1ce of both the bean and
the oil. and the farmer can make contracts
for all the beans he can raise at very good
profit. The new price of the bean will not
be lower thin $1.5Oa buehel, and at this price
its culture will be very remuneratiye to west
ern farmers Who 60 into the business sys-
tenatically, and contract ahead for all they
raise. The demand is constantly increasing,
and protective tariff will keep the market
from being flooded by the bean of India,
which is the only other country which can
compete with this in the supply.
During the cool weather which came on
st. LOUIS Just as September entered, there
was short and violent thunderstorm one
afternoon, and the observers up in the signal
Office hastily dropped all their work, and
bringing out all their instruments took OBJ
servations during every minute while the
outburst lasted. The next day they COM
pared their notes with those received from
other parts of the country which were taken |
during the storm, and were disappointed.
1.-THE Agricultural Department is bending |
all its original investigation now to the task |
of finding out where those sudden local |
storms come FROM" said Observer D. ].
Herndon, 'tand 50 far We are not succeeding |
very well. They drop down from nowhere, |
and We can't trace them on q weather map
at all Yet they do great damage sometimes. |
and it is important for Us to ascertain some |
thing of their habits, 80 we can warn the
towns and villages in their track. We can't |
follow a local storm now fifty miles, while |
We can follow the track of other storms |
twenty four hours before they get to gwen |
