last Sunday morning renewed their

church on Sprigg Street. The Rev
Mr.. Sthnierle deity tied the nuptial
bonds which rennite these two good
old people for the remainder of their
short stay in this world of trials and

lent an added charm and threw q
touch of Romance and solemnitv over
The occasion. Their ages are seven
ty-three and scvcnty-four years re-
spectiv,ly, Mrs. Ulrich being one year
the older.

The savagery of Southern mobs has
become a dishopor to the whole
nation. The reign of lawlessness and
brutality has steadily progressed from
bad to worse. Examples of lynch
law, for q long time sporadic, are
growing nj IRE and more common.
AT first the mobs were generally
satisfied with the speedy infiction of
death upon the object of their venec-
snce. Now, the thirst for blood has
bred q passion for cruelty that de-
lights in fortunes whose barbarify
would disgrace Dahomey.
Heretofore the practice has been to
slaughter only the persons actually
accused of crime. The brutal murder

The clarionct itself was rather fa-
voritc in country churchcs-thc more
tho pity, perhaps, for it is about as hap
less an instrument in the hands of an
aI2Gtcur as the bagplpe might be in the

Instruments would follow-'tho flute
and tho vile squcalzing of the wry-ncclz
fifc, END IL may be, breaking suddenly
ii with portcntous thunder the un-
lucl:y dCcp-mouthcd bassoon. Poor Dol
y, in 'SilGs Marncr,' thought when she
heard the last-namcd instrument and
tic voices at the village church, that
Shc had got to 4 better place already
a cynic under similar circumstances
might have his thoughts directed to
quito another quarter, and would prob
ably admit that it was good hit of
ColcrilSC'G to select the loud baSsoon'
for breaking the charm that bound the
wedding guest to the ancient mariners
tale.
But tho instrument seems to have
had its rartisans aa we'll as its players.
A country clergyman tells of neigh
Dor meeting clown on the way to
church which he did not usually at
tend. Why. john inquired the ncigk-
Dor, what takes you this way?' L do
go to church, quoth John, ito hear the
baboors.' The baasoonist always liked
to begin his last note q little later than
his fellow players, and by peculiar
motion OF his shoulders pumped out the
whcle reserve power of his lungs in
what Il church historian calls 'onc pro-
l2nTcd and astounding roar 1t is
quite apparent that we have no cause
to regret The less OF the bassoon."

ShoiI Mounds of Florida,

A ships officer who has spent much
time on the st. Johns river, Florida,
thinks that he has solved the problem
as to the origin of tho shell mounds
that occur along that stream. The
river twists about in an extraordinary
way, SO that in many places view
along the water extends for only few
rods, but he finds that tall object or
the smoke Of fire shown from the top
OF one of these mounds could be seen
from those next below and above, and
he believes that these emincnccs were
Indian signal stations, by means of
which the natives were able to an
nouncc the approach of n hostile force
along the river, rs the Greeks signaled
the news of the fall of Troy to their
home cities by lights on the mountain
tops, that were repeated from peak to
peak.

n Cats Trip to India and EacIs.

A good cat story, says the London
correspondent Of the Yorkshire Post,
comes from Bombay. In August a
Liverpool resident proceeding to Bonn
bay took out with him cat which
he intended to present to a friend
in India. Some days after the arrival
of the steamer in bombay pussy was
missed, and, though she was searched
for high and low, she was nowhere to
be found. Her owner had quite given
her up for lost when he received in
tclligcncc from England that the caL
had made her appearance at her old
Liverpool homo on the 25th of October
as calm and collected as though a trip
to India and back was quito in the or
dinary course of her life. The facts arc
vouchcd for by a Bombay paper. and
there is no reason to doubt their sub
stantial accuracy.

Fresh Export Business Did Not Relieve Gen.

TRADING AT CHICAGO.

Pork, Lard and Ribs Sparingiy Dealt I'm and

CHICAGO. Feb. 1s.-It was found to-
day that most of the puts" on wheat sold
yesterday had q profit In them and were
put. Partridge received. perhaps. 1000. 900
bushels in that way from 76lae to 767ac.
There was some fresh export business re-
ported from the seaboard. being a change
from the recent comparative nothIngness of
that trade. There was very general heavi-
were considerably lower at the
close than on the day before.
The respective declines are in wheat and
corn each. Sc. oats Sc. pork 27lhc, lard
from .0214c to .O5o and ribs .074c. W heat. at
the opening. was about lac lower than yes
terday's closing held firm, and then de-
clined Csc for May and hc for July. ruled
steady. aud the closing was $50 lower for
May and 1c lower for July. There was
free unloading of long property. including
o number of important lines from supposed
clique sources. The weakness was o con-
tinuance of the feeling developed by the
snowstorm, while cables were weak and
lower and the prospects were that the Wis.,
ible supply might show an increase of 25O,-
0sO to 400. 600 bushels. The stock situation
in Wall street and the general financial
outlook also created some dIstrust. and
were an important bear factor.
Corn was heavy through lack OF support.
It seemed to be q day of general liqulda-
ton. Operators were talking about the
big visible supply, which far exceeds that
of last year at this time. and pointed TO
the Indifferent cash demand, the fairly
liberal movement from first hands. and the
small export business. Shorts were fair
buyers at the decline, and caused slight
reaction,
Oats We're also slow aud weak. and fol-
fbwed corn.
Hog products were very sparingly dealt
in, and. for lack OF assistance from the
! usual supporters. sagged almost steadily,
and closed near bottom figures. Estimated
receipts for Monday are: Wheat. 179 cars;
corn, 325 cars: oats. $50 cars; hogs, 10000.
