Ioverheard two gentlemen talking in
the rotunua OF the Narragansett last
night about the hay crop. One is we'll
known as one of tue shrewdest business
men in this city, who is always on the
lookout to make a dollar, and he general
ly makes 1t and others along with it. Il
received a Il tier from friend OF mine in
En- Iland yesterday, and he reports that
hay is very scarce aud high. aud
tiat there will be much suffering
if the United states crop does
not supply the deficiency.
He says American hay readily command
s45 to $50 per ton. and suggests that he
will charter q steamer. Que OF the

dreds lying idle along tue quays OF Eag

is tremendous. and think will try one

The books of photographs which are
being displayed In the window OF the

books. They have proved even
greater attraction than the News
expected. Some preiudicel, jtundiced
individuals call this a slow. unapprecia-

when il sees 1t, but the News stands
ready Il repute that and II necessary to
prove To these persons that 1t is not so.
The people Of this city at once saw the
News advertisement of the Slepp's pho.
tographs, knew it was good thing and
pa ronized it. They told their friends
about 1t. You know people talk about
other things besides polite, women aud
