A KINGS AMUSEMENT.
Ohio Is Happiest When He Thinks
He Has Killed Peasant.

He 0aS AlileQ a PeaSant.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
The one insane monarch who now
occupies European throne, King
Ohio of Bavaria, shows no symptoms of
recovery from his mental malady.
He has lucid intervals, which are very
brief and occur but rarely, and it is as
well, for these fleeing CLEANS of reason
only serve to make the poor man miSer-
ably unhappy, for while they last he
realizes his own Wretched condition to
the full.
Everything is done to amuse and IN
terest him in his ordinary state, which
is that of hopeless as we'll as dangerous
insanity. He spends his days in un-
ceasing occupation of an insignificant
and mechanical nature.
At one time he worked from morning
till night rolling cigarettes. Then he
took to peeling potatoes, and bushels
upon bushels OF them were provided for
his amusement.
Of late his favorite pastime is by no
means CT such an inoffensive nature.
He has taken to shooting peasants, and
will sit all day long with his gun at the
window waiting for this new kind of
game, on which to exercise his skill.
Even this freak his guardians have con-
trived to satisfy without injury to any
one of his subjects. His gun is loaded
in his presence, and he always insists
upon seeing the pow der and shot duly
put In, but for the la tier his attendant
substitutes dry peas.
Orders have been given that no person
shall be allowed to pass alon the road
in front of his dwelling, lest King Ohio
should fire upon him or her and be
driven quite wild by seeing his intend
ed victim walk off unhult. But at stated

Speculation on the New York

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE corn market broke
down today. The drop was not so sharp as
was the advance OF Friday. There--was,
however. reduction of about 1c bushel.
The French duty question was more clearly
understood. Cables were numerous, saying
the action was only on hay and straw, with
no prospects of other removals. II was also
established by past records that France only
takes 10000 to %, 100000 bu outside corn on
the average, and that the question of free ad
mission of coarse grains was not so very i'm
portant to American grain merchants after
ALL There was, of course, general selling
out of corn by those who bought on the
scare yesterday. The sentiment at the start
was easier, and first trades were anywhere
from Isc to Ssc under the final figures OF yes
terjay, and, after ruling steady for while,
continued to grow weaker, selling off Ac
more. Later the price rallied trifle, ruled
fairly steady, but at the close had lost S407Sc-
There was only a light trade in wheat to-
day and an easier feeling existed. The
orenng was easier and first sales from about
the same as yesterdays closing to Ice lower,
receded A61S5c, advanced 14G9SSc, then re-
eeded SIC, the market touching inside prices,
ruled steady, and the closing was about l2c
lower for July and l2c lower Tor September
than yesterday. The weakness was due to
the unfayOrable New York bank statement,
and the reported increasing shipments of
wheat from Australian and South American
ports. There was some little business i'll the
way of changing over July TO September, but
the market was generally very quiet and
dull. The clearances from the Atlantic
coast were about the same as last week, and
1t is calculated that the visible supply will
show good decrease.
Oats were quiet and shade lower in value.
the close being made at from Ac to l2c under

The provision market was strengthened by
the receipt Of 1000 hogs less than was esti-

however added scarcely anything to the
volume of the days business Trading IN
pork was again conspicuously light. There
were few transactions i'll lard and ribs at

of from Zoe to l5c in pork, sc in September
lard and 1l2c in ribs.

the exception of Director Wesley II.
Tilford The process server called
dozen times at the Normandie hotel,
where Mr.. Tilford lives, but the clerks
there knew their business, and not
glimpse of the director did Auborn get.
Nor was he any more successful in his
visits to the big oil company's office on
lower Broadway. And so, last Tues
day, he adopted one Of what he calls
my eXpedients."
He secured some of the Normandie
hotel letter paper, and got young lady
to address the envelope to Mr.. TIltord.
Then he hired messenger boy to take
the supposed note to Mr.. Tilford, with
instructions to deliver it only to him,
who, as Mr.. Auborn we'll knew. was
not in his office.
Now, you find out where he is,"
were Mr. Auborn's last words to the
boy.
And the boy found out, for the private
secretary finally told that Mr.. Tllford
could probably be found in certain
large jewelry house on Broadway. 80,
when the process server heard this he
promptly took his way there. Now, MI.
Auborn had never seen Mr.. Tilford
in his life, and had no idea how he
looked. but he went up to the cashier
and said:
II am from the oil company, and have
all important message for Mr.. 1llford.
Is he here?'
Eyes" replied the unsuspecting CASH
ier II will 90 and see il he wishes to
receive you" So the Obliglng Young
man walked over to a gentleman who
was inspecting gems at counter not
far off and whispered something to him.
But Auborn was right back OF him..
'Ah, good morning, Mr.. Tilford," he
said. raising his hat.
But Mr.. Tilford did not even look up.
Il have some papers to serve on you,
SIR" said Mr.. Auborn: but the Oil mag
nate made no sign of recognition.
Very well, MI. Tilford, | will serve
the papers in my own way, as you seem
determined not to recognize my exist
ence." And SO he placed the papers
underneath the collar of the million
aires coat and walked away.
MI. AubOrn has had many interest

papers On such well known sporting
men as "Dink" Davis, Frank Ransom,
Nat Goodwin, John Kelly, Frank Ste
yenSon, Frank Yuengling Jr., and on
Baroness Blanc, Helen DouYray Ward

"the easiest man to get at. and the
peasantest after you get at him, is
Chauncey M. Depew."

A Queer Find.
JURY American.

Waterbury American.
1t was queer find, that of Antoine
Hagenlockor. and none can blame him
for being surprised. Antoine is an
engineer in the employ of the Ansonia
Brass and Copper company, and as he
placed an extra large lump OF soft coal
under the boiler he had no thoughts of
what that lump of coal contained.
A few minutes later he opened the
furnace door again. and what was his
surprise to see in the furnace hand
some plant resembling a species of
cactus! 1t was bright red from the heat.
every vein in the leaves being defined.
He carefully removed it from the fur
mace without breaking, and when it
cooled it turned to dull gray color.
1t rests on base of coal and then
stands out well-defned petrified plant,
but not carbonized, so that it burned as
readily as did the coal around it.. He
has shown the formation to many. and
nothing like it has ever been seen here.
The stalk of the plant when cut from
the parent stem is we'll defined. Mr..
hangenlocker is to have it mounted
and placed under glass case.

FINANCIAL.
NeW NOrl1.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Speculation at the
stock exchange was extremely dull. the sales
of stock amounting to only AZ, S64 shares, and
of railway and miscellaneous bonds $780, GOO.
These totals are unusually small, and the
dullness is explained by the absence of
many operators at the races and country
resorts. Considering the inactivity, the
temper of speculation was quite firm.
The bears in the room brought about q
reaction of Is to y per cent on the
heavy falling off in the bank reserve
but recovery followed aud the market
closed firm. With the exception of Pitts
burg u Western preferred, which rose pa
per cent to 1884 the changes throughout the
session were confined within radius of l4Qg
1 per cent There was some covering of
short contracts on the increase of S1o,QOO in
the earnings of the ST. Paul road for the
London that movement of gold to America
was imminent The clearing house gave out
only the total for the bank averages, but
omitted the statements showing the condi-
ton Of the banks in detail.
The Post says: Today business furnished
a market such as is rarely witnessed in Wall
street. In the face of financial developments
of the most profound significance, the stock
market almost literally ceased TO move.
There were no alterations i'll prices during
the day worthy of note, and less than 10000
shares of stocks changed hands. Yet, this
excited little comment or surprise. for today
the speculative deadlock was complete, as
every one knew beforehand. Bears did not
dare to sell, bulls had no money accommoda-
ton OH the basis of which 10 die. London
had nothing, and local investors quite us
cautiously held aloof."

RUSKIN POEMS.
Some Specimens of Verses by the
New English Laureate.

Some Specimens of Verses by the
New English Laureate.
Exchange
Though not elassed as one of the En-
glish poets, John Ruskin has produced
considerable verse. Here are some eX-
amples:
At the age of fourteen he made pill
grimages with his parents to SkiddaW
and Snowdon, the Jungfrau and Mont
Blanc, and, inspired by the mountain
scenery, he wrote these lines:
II weary for the fountain foaming,
For shady holm and hill;
Ny mind is Oh the mountain roaming,
My spirits voice is still.
81 weary for the woodland brook
That Wanders through the vale;
weary for the nights that look
AdoWn upon the dale.
There is thrill of strange delight
That passes quiverng DER me
When blue hills rise upon the slgnt
Like summer clouds before me-.
Like other poets. he sometimes per-
mltted his muse to dwell lovingly upon
the charms of spring, and here IS one OF
the results, which is hot without beauty:
Infant spirit of the spring.
On thy flesh plumed pinion bring
SnoWdrops like thy stainless brow
Violet. primrose-cull them now
With the cup of datfodll,
Which the fairies love 10 fill,
Ere each moon dance they renew,
With the fragrant honey dew;
Bring them, spirit-bring them hlther
Ere the wind have time to Wither,
Or the sun TO steal their dyes,
To paint at eve the western skies;
Bring them for the wreath OF one
l.o.-t - 10 II 1rY,r
An extract from one OF his earliest
poems is of more serious turn:
That Great One whose spirit interweaves
The painless forest with their life of leaves;
And lifts the lovely blossoms. bright in birth,
Out of the cold, black, rotting charnel earth;
Walks OH the moon-beWiQered waves at
night.
Breathes in the morning breeze. burns in
the evening light;
Feeds the young ravens when they cry; up
lifts
The pale.lipped clouds among the mountain
cliffs;
Moves the pale glacier or its restless path;
Lives in the deserts universal death:
And fills with that one glance which none
elude
The grave, the city, and the solitude
The latest of Mr.. Ruskin's poems
was written in 1887. hhe following is a
sample of it:
'Fishes i'll the sea-
Apples on the tree,
What is it TO me,
Baby, whose they be?

And now tonight as we stand here
And hold your hand, have not a fear,
For love YOU every minuteH'

81 see they have finally settled the
discussion as to who was the first man
to use steamboat whistle on the river"
said Capt. Jere Eastman, of Cairo, atthe
Laclede last night. sit was a mighty
interesting discussion, too, and the
thing was in- doubt for some time, but
it's all settled now and Capt. j. Slut
Neal was the man."
LAS Capt. Neal explains it himself,
the story is something to this effect:
He was the engineer and part owner OF
the Revinue-Spell that with aD II,
mind you-and she was the first vessel
to use whistle. They got it from An
dersOn Fulton, in Pitts0urg, where the
boat was built. That was in lS43.
You see they were making trip
with government supplies to Fort lou
son, on the Red river, in 1874. Ihey
had the whistle then. for while they
were making the trip Polk was lnaugu-
rated president, and old Cap'n Neal-he
wasn't old then-WaS the only Demo
crat on the boat, and tell you ne MADE
the Iniuns jump when he set that old
whistle to footing. In those days the
whistle was placed atop of the boiler.
and the engineer could amuse himself
to his hearts content if he wanted to.
"Old Cap'n Neal was steamboat
man born. He was the first man Oh the
river to use the Iife-preserver, and sent
Cap'n W. Ii. Fulton all the way to Phil
