GOOD STORY OF FAMOUS MEN.
Lineoln's Friendship for Colonel
Tom Murphy-Arthur's Rise.


Away back in the 4O's there was a
large wholesale hat concern located
ON Fesey street, New York. They
had al Irish porter who was both
smart and ambitious. In those days
the buyers used to come to New
York, and not the drumRers go on
the road as they dc now. This porter
went to his employers and asked
them TO allow him to take a case of
samples and call on the buyers at the
uptown hotels and see if he could not
demonstrate that he was fit for some
thing better than sweeping out"
They allowed him to try. He made
a successful salesman. Finally one of
the firm died and the Young Irishman
asked to be admitted TO the firm.

hat business. Result? Mr.. President
Lincoln took a great fancy to his

him. Thomas Murphy accepted, and

weather Prediction for Farmers.

The Secretary of Agriculture at
Washington is interested in every
thing that may benefit the farmer.
Secretary Rusk's latest idea is the use
of steam whistles for announcing the
weather forecasts. which is said to
have rapidly grown in faver among
farmers. Wherever a mill or factory
using steam is within the reach of the
telegraph or telephone, or by evening
or early morning trains or stages. the
daily forecasts can be received and
announced to farmers and Othsrs liv-
ing within Il circle of several miles.
The whistle code is very simple,
easily learned and remembered. The
of signals is as follows:
The warning signal to attract at
tention will be long blast of frem
to twenty seconds duration.
this warning signal has been
sounded, long blasts lot from four to
six secands' duratioH) refer to weather,
and short blasts tof from one TO three
'ecends' duration) refer to tempcrat-
Ire; those fer weather to be sounded

HOW BUSINESS STANDS.

PRES. Mcleod TO SEN. CHANDLER
Print Cloth Market at Fall River-New
Tin-PIate Mill at Elizabeth-The Fall
ures for the Week, anu other Notes
About business.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-R. q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review OF Trade says: "There Is
Q car famine from Pittsburg to the Rocky
Mountains. This single fact shows ths
best and worse OF business. The West Is
marketing enormous crops, probably ex-
ceeding in quantity all official or unofii-
cial estimates. But Europe is buying
but moderately, the demands OF the East
are not greater than usual, and all the
elevators both East and West are
crammed with grain and all the yards
full OF loaded cars. Distribution OF man
ufactured products is larger than 1t ever
has been, and manufacturers are crowd
ed with orders, whils the approach OF the
presidential election does not interfere
perceptibly with Legitimate trade.
At Boston, money is firm and collec-
tions satisfactory, trade in dry goods be-
ing excellent and print cloths and some
grades of cotton goods having advanced.
Woolsn manufacturers are busy, with
prices unchanged, and the shos manu-
facturer is pressed with orders extending
beyond the usual season.
Though il is not the season for espec-
ial activity in boots and shoes, IL Is
stated that not for years has there been
such O demand. Manufacturers OF wo-
mems shoes are especially driven to their
utmost capacity"
