Chicago Grain Summary.

CHICAGO, July &, 1893.
The we at trade realized at the close n
was full of buliish news. The general belief
was that the Northwest did it but it was I'M
mistakeablS local. There were two cars of
new No. 8 wheat from Clinton. Ky. 1t sold at
60c. Despite the closing break the best people
In the trade were acting en- the belief in better
prices. There was cool buying at the decline.
Corn was higher mainly because of very light
receipts and sales Of over -0o.000 bushels for
export: The trade was local and not active.
Oats he i t. eir own very well despite the

A UNIQUE CAREER.
How General Miles Military Reputation

Has Grown Since the War.
Major General Nelson Appleton Miles,
recently elected president of the Society
Of the Army of the Potomac, has no
doubt seen his biography in print many
hundred times. but as he is still in ac-
tive service there is always something
new to say about him. Furthermore,
major generals of the late war are no
longer numerous, aud from the stand
point of a life insurance agent General
Miles has excellent chances of being
among the very last survivors.
His career has been unique in many
respects. He is one Of the very few CT

Only Little Thing.

A hospital for incurables is a very
noble and worthy charity, and I am glad
that no prominent city Is without a pro
vision for this class Of sufferers. Iwish,
however, that the bTutally descriptive
name of such institutions could be so
modified as not to contain tho death war
rant of every person received within
their doors. "a place to die in" is not a
cheerful title for ones last earthly home,
and the omission Of this reminder from
the official name could SO easily be sup
piled In the rules for admittance that to
parade it seems worse than useless. It
is wonderful how little consideration
sweetens the bread Of charity.

snnI Communion nnr.

The last Of the II days set apart by
the Worlds fair management for "tht
parliament of religions" is monthly
whole world soul communion day and
the sixth anniversary of its institution,
Sept. 81
The first whole world Observance was
on the 9th of September, 1886, when
there was silence in heaven for the
space of one-half hour" when greater
or less number of the worshipers Of all
the great religious faiths of the world
united for 80 minutes (time at all points
corresponding with the half hour inter
vening ut Salem, Or. between 10 merid
ian and 1890 past meridian) in invoking
universal peace and new and higher in
fiowings of spiritual light.
OF course the Worlds fair manage
ment did not know in setting apart the
Il DAYS between and including Monday
the 18th and Sept. q that 1.-THE parlia-
ment of religions would terminate its
session on the anniversary of this the
most universal religious movement ever
instituted among men, but such is the
fact, and being 50 it is eminently proper
that the brief universal prayer season Of
half an hour should on that day be &C
corded to soul communicates and all
who will unite with them in invoking
with unifc soul impulses peace on earth
and good will among men" Soul com
munionists will ask no more Of the fair
management, as they are silent workers.
The time Of observance in Chicago will
be from 900 to $50 p. m, when there
and then will be gathered worshipers
from all the shrines of earth. and some
of all of whom will have been diyinized

The Promise to Obey,

The promise to obey ought no longer
to be either asked or given, Men rs well
as women are learning to regard it as a
relic of barbarisn. One young man Of
my acquaintance acted us "best man to
a friend who was married by the Epis
copal service He was scandaliEed by
the brides promise to obey and wrote
to his own sweetheart a letter of in
diguation and dismay He said he
hoped it was not customary with other
denominations to use similar form,
for he should dislike exceedingly to have
her promise to obey him. She answered
that he need give himself no uneasi-
ness; she had not the smallest intention
of promising anything of the sort. They
have been married 10 years and are Il
very happy couple.
Methodist ministers are now forbidden
to exact the promise to obey, and it Is
fast going out of use in all denomina-
tons that are not tied to fixed ritual

Only RInh nmnnrs Mood Annlv.

1t is somewhat hard to find suitable Of
ficers Of the army and navy to occupy
the places of military and naval attaches
to the United States legations in foreign
countries. To satisfactorily fulfill the
duties Of these posts plenty Of money is
an essential requisite. A man attached
in such a capacity to the embassy at
Paris or at London needs private for
tune to keep zap with the social require
ments Of the situation. He must move
in the most richly gilded swim and must
meet all sorts Of unusual expenses. 1t is
expected of him that he shall live like q
gentleman of rank and wealth, because
the attaches at the legations Of other ma
tons are rich and noble.
4 clear understanding of these facts
would lessen the number Of applications
for these places which are sent in by
young officers to the departments of war
and navy at Washington. They desire
the appointments for the sake of the
agreeableness of the duties and the So
cial prestige belonging to them, not real

WILLING TO MAKE ALLOWANCES.
A Kind Hearted Farmer Who said Per
hnns tho Fnrrowa Wore Sun Warped.

Kind Hearted Farmer who Said Per-
haps the burrows Were Sun Warped.
A certain eminent clergyman, who is
greatly loved for his gentleness and for
bearance with offenders, recently told
man that an experience Of his own in
years long gone by taught him the grace
of ready excusing. When he was boy,
he was a very poor boy, but he had al
ready strong theological bent and was
studying hard during the winter and
working even harder during the summer
trying to get preparation for college.
He wanted to be a preacher, and the fact
that he didn't seem to be good for any
thing else tended to convince him that
he had not mistaken his calling.
One spring he was entirely out OF
money and had to get out Of school and
go to work. Not being able to find any
thing to do in the small college town
where he had been studying, the youth
call him Richard Vernon-went out
among the farmers to see If he could get
work from them. He found man who
was very busy with his springs work
and in a hurry to get the burrows plowed
In big field for potato planting The
weather was favorable for planting; the
farmers boys would be home from school
the next day, which was Saturday, to do
the dropping and covering. He told
Richard that he might mark out the
field with the plow Tor the planting, and
if he suited he might be hired for two or
three months Meantime tho farmer
saw that the boy was very anxious to
stay, and that he had evidently very
good disposition.
So the young theologian went to work
with tremendous vigor. he did not stop
TO take breath until he had marked off a
large tract Of ground with deep burrows.
Then came his employer from his work
in another part of the farm and looked at
the boys work and leaned up against the
fence and laughed until he shook. The
potato field had been scraped and seal
loped all over with the ridiculously ir-
regular and wabbly little bitches which
Richard had turned. There was not a
clean, straight furrow in the lot The
ground looked as if an insane elephant
had tossed up the earth, The burrows
were of all depths and at all distances
from one another, for Richard had driven
the horse most Of the time at smart
walk, and he had been too much occupied
with keeping up and maintaining pre-
carious grasp upon the plow handles to
be able to pay any attention to the regu-
larity or evenness Of his work.
Richard Vernon laughed, too, as he
stood and looked over the field. He
wiped the sweat from his brow and
looked very anxiously at his employer,
There was no chance for regular work
there, that was evident, His laughter
faded away, and there was a certain
faint twitch in the corners Of his mouth
as the boy said:
Il guess you don't want any more of
my work, sirI'
"Oh, yes-yes, do" said the farmer,
"Maybe faint your fault that the fur
rows are crooked. You see, the suns
pretty hot today, and reckon the heat

English Policemen.

The police regulations in England are
very different from those common in
this country. The policeman there is
not nearly SO autocratic as he is here
and would never think Of using club
or striking man, except in self defense.
j. Gilmer Speed gives this story of their
mild sway:
Upon one occasion "A man came into
my office and created disturbance. |
ordered him out He declined To 20, SO
sent for a policeman, A sergeant came
said to him:
THIS man does not belong here and
refuses TO leave my office. VIII you
please take him out?"
expected the sergeant TO tell the man
he must 60, and then if he did not move
on expected % see the officer remove
him by force Not al all. The sergeant
said, "lon had better leave here, sir, .
and his tone was as respectful and civil
as though he was asking a favor.
The man manifested no intention Of
leaving, and the police officer began an
inquiry as to his reasons for wanting 10
stay. This 50 exasperated me that put
the man out myself, greatly 10 the
astonishment and apprehension of the
officer
lie explained To me that had no right
to interfere IN the matter had brought
to his attention, and that doubtless the
intruder would get out warrant against
me and have me arrested for assault.
