A Queer WhiTn.

many Years ago took it into his head
to live for several weeks on Mount Etna
in the refuge 1000 feet or so below tue
crater. This worthy, but slightly crack

biscuits and uinned meats well enough
for a fortnight at a time. Every fl

mountain 70 the nearest village, soma
twenty miles away, and reveled in all
the avery dishes the ~innkeeper could
put before him; after which banquet he

transportation from Pa1am I'm 1873.
We paid our money and went on board
the vessel, which was anchored about
three miles from shore. We found a
p-o-iGcuous crowd from every nation
under heaven, the predominatng type
being that of the American rough. The
deck was so densely packed with men
from stem to stern that we could scarce
ly move. Many were PROSTATE with
sickness, or supported by friends, or
lying in hammocks swung along the
side rigging. All day long this crowd
Of men were seethirg, swaying, quar-
reling and curs1ng. No food was pro-
vided, and hunger and thirst gave an
edge to the bad passions of the mob.
The captain, a United States naval
officer, had not assumed command be-
cause he was shut off from his men by
the chaotic crowd. At length, toward
evening, he stood on the quarter deck
and shouted above the angry mutters
and jaTgon Of the crowd that the deck
must be cleared for his men 80 that they
could raise the anchor. I had conferred
with a few Of the more respectable look
ing passengers, and we had concluded
that there were more men on board than
our contract stipulated for, so we replied
to the captain that the anchor could not
be raised until we had had a count.
The effort to get the men in order and
10 set them in motion SO that they could
pas around in line required two or three
hours, but was at last accomplished, and
sne result showed 44O persons on board
besides the sailors. This attempt of the
conSigneet to increase his enormous profits
dishonesty at the risk and discomfort Of
the passengers excited a torrent of indig-
nation. Inhammatory speeches were
made, and a committee was appointed
to visit the consignee and adjust the
matter. About 100 aen left fC~ the
shore in boats that the natives lad in
waiting about the vessel, and those who
remained agreed to keep the ship at an
Choir until they should return.-John G.

YeutordAy,s London Wool SALES.

LONDON, October 12.-At the wool auc-
ton sales to-day IL, 500 bales were offered,
of which 1000 were withdrawn. The at
tendance was small and the bidding slow.
The offerings contained much inferior
stuff. Prices for super woods were we'll

The series was finished to-day and the
general results are disappointing TO hold
ers This was largely dueto the very, large
quantity of inferior woods offered and very
little buviug by France, owing TO the bad
trade and large stocks there.
To-day inferior secured merino woods
sold at Hdald cheaper, and greasy was
partly I'd lower. Secured inferior cross
breds were 1Sds915d lower, while vel
grown superior goods were frmer. Coco
cross bread and greasy merino WOODS

number of bales sold during the sales were

CONCERNING WALTER E. 2:lo.

In Wallace's Year Book we find Walter
f. recorded as having been bred in Cav
ker City, Kan. For a long time the
writer has doubted the accuracy of this
statement, but until very lately has
been unable to prove the trim OF our
skeptlclsm. At Cawker City conflicting
reports regarding the subject made it I'M
possible to arrive at a definite conclusion.
Judge Clark A. Smith informs the writer
that Walter +. was never owned at or
near Cawker City, that Mr.. Taylor, his
breeder, sold the colt before moving
from Missouri to Kansas. j. w. Nc
Ghee, postmaster at Cawker City for
a number of years, whose acquaintance
with people is as general as any man in
the place, and who besides is quite a
horseman, has always insisted that the
horse in question grew up and was sold
near town. This is the statement MIR.
McGhee makes; "Several years ago one
William Taylor came from Missouri and
located in Carr Creek township. He
brought with him yearling colt. After
this colt became three or four years old,
Mr.. Taylor, being in somewhat limited
circumstances, sold him to horse buyer
for $50, who shipped the colt to Kansas
City or st. Joe, and there he changed
hands once before going into Stewards
stable, where he developed into Walter
E.2:l0."
While we do not doubt in the least the
sincerity of Mr.. McGhee's statement, we
confess that in the absence of other tes-
timony it is far from satisfactory, owing
to data that is valuable. For example
the bi eeding of Mr. TaYlor's colt is not
given, neither is his color, while the un-
certainty existing as TO the reside &C
of the man who purchased him Is faI
from being conclusive evidence of the
colts later ownership. The writer has
heard the same argument used by parties
residing at Downs and Beloit, which
