CHICAGO, October 1l.-There we're more
good cattle here to-day than for some time
past, and sales did not show upwell. In
common and medium grades there was no
change. The supply was moderate and
about everything was worked off. Natives

Sales of western were on basis OF 81 Ioa
$50 for good 10 choice, and Texas cattle
were quoted at 81 25a3 50. There was a
good inquiry for stockers and feeders at
81 OOa3 so. and the calf market was steady
at 81 25a5 80.
The hog market underwent further i'm
provemeut. There was 0risker demand
and prices were higher all around. They
advanced 5al0c Immediately on the open
ing of business and a little later anything
could be sold at 10c advance on Wednes-
davis prices. Although the proportion Of
good cows was small, the bulk of the %, 600
on sale sold above So 10 and there were
many sales at $6.45a555. The close was
strong.
With several thousand sheep and lambs
in the pens and fresh receipts Of 10000 or
more buyers had things all their own way.
Comparatively few of the sheep went aooye
81. So, and the bulk could be bought oelOw

poor to choice.

MOST TERRIFYING OF ALL.
Hairbreath Escapes of Life and Limb Are
Nothing Compared to 1t.

We were discussing moments of
supreme terror, says writer in Truth,
and each of us had given his most
thrilling experience, when his heart had
come the nearest TO standing still-get-
ting of its beat, as il were-and it had
got to be Cooper's turn. Almy had
told of the time he fell over the pre-
cipice, and was only saved from being
dashed to pieces by clutching dande-
lion which grew on the brink, and
Bowen had related how he drank from
a bottle, the gift of New jersey
friend. in the dark, and for moment
thought that he had taken nitric acid
through mistake. Acer had given a
graphic description of the cold chills
which had run over him, and the sud-
den awful faintneSs when he went out
to dinner in full dress, and discovered
as he entered the diningroom that it
was only $50; and | had lived over for
their benefit my experiences of jump
ing from locomotive Just as it crashed
into the side Of swiftly moving train.
Cooper had sat silently smoking un-
til the last, and after his turn had
come he remained for some time ap-
parently deep in thought. At length
he said: Gentlemen, have no doubt
that each of you has given, thought
lessly, perhaps, what he considers his
supreme moment of terror; but, know
ing all of you as | do, the joys of your
home lives and the trials of the head
of a family,you will pardon me if l say
that | think that you have made a mis-
take. Is it possible that none of you
have ever been aroused at o'clock in
the morning by your wife's solemn
statement that there were burglars in
the house, and that while you were
groping your way nervously across
the room through the horrible dark
ness to light the gas, you have none of
you ever set your bare foot suddenly
on the baby's little hollow rubber doll,
which whistled when compressed"
For moment there was solemn
silence, and then we guilty wretches,
bound together by the common tie of
fatherhood, arose, shook hands SYM
pathetically with each other, and took
Cooper out and bought him some

The Russian Peasant.

Easily satisfied, ,indolent, self-indulg-
ent, weak, he does not care to rise in
the world. So long as he can exist
and allow his wife aud children to ex-
list, and so long as he can obtain for
cash or credit vodka enough to keep
him going. he is content. He has no
idea of any higher civilization or of
any sort of home comfort. For the
rest he. loves his "little father" the
czar; fears God in supcrstisious sort
of way, and the Lieshui (wood spirits)
and other supernatural objects of his
national folklore IN very real way:
observes the church festivals With bib
ulous piety; attends church at Easter;
tolerates his wife, and knows a0so-
lu:ely nothing Of the affairs either of
this world or of the next. But educa-
tion is making great strides, and the
younger generation is growing up with
advantages TO which its forefathers
were strangers. Light is stealing
gradually over the land Would that
it might chase away the drink demon!
