 Cron Renorts.

| | Crop Reports.
 New York, May 2O.--The street was flooded to-day with unfavorable cror reports from the west and this, together with the advance in sterling exchange and further sales of stocks for foreign account, led to q general decline in prices At times the market showed strength, especially in the anthracite coalers, which advanced in the early trading despite the denlals that a deal Is on foot looking to an arrangement which will place the industry on a prof itable basis New Jersey Central at one time sold up to 1Ot1s, while Reading brought 20A, against 19% near the close on Saturday. Sugar for a time was de- cidedly strong and rose to 1191a. but the gain was subsequently, lost on heavy realizatibhs, and the stock fell to 1173s Chicago Gas was also weak and de- clined to 73%, but on rather light trad ing. E ,E
 In the railway list the Northern Pa cific issues were weak for the common and preferred stocks, but the bonds made slight gains as a rule for the day. The weakness in the stocks is due to the announcement that the latest re- organizatio plan as announced from Berlin provides for a, heavy assessment on the common and preferred stock. It is worthy of note that brokers in touch with the leading German bank ing interests were buyers of the bonds to-day The rise in July wheat made a number of bears on stocks in the last hour fearful and the operators for lower prices were more aggressive than for some time past.
 Under pressure of stocks for both long and short accounts the market closed weak in tone. Cordage securities were depressed on rumors of impending un- favorable developments and dropped 1s to 41s per cent.
 The bond market was strong in the early dealings, but at the close a weak CT tone prevailed in sympathy with the stock market. Sales were $2,816,000.

MY OTHER SOY.

Ay boys know not that while they stand Expectantly beside my knee, Between their heads of black and brown, Another sunny head see. And when their eyes look up to mine- Black eyes and blue, so full oi Joy. My eyes, though dim with tears, can sec The brown eyes of another boy The sweet broom eyes in which the light So suddenly had ceased to shine. When God had harshly seemed to say: Daughter. he fs not thine but Mine" The heads of black and brown rise higher, AS year by year speeds on it's way. Black eyes and blue more thoughtful shine AS life grows wider every day And as mark each change, see.
 The sunny head lift higher. too, The brown eyes sweeter. wiser, gieam, As heavenly visions greet their view Dear heartsl Come, let us closer lean. Learning our lessons line by line, Now have learned at last to say:

1ST CITY, ARK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER G. 1895

You are entirely mistaken in think. said Nancy, calmly. 'Mr. Penstone is married and old enough tO be my father. Shall we go in now. or have you any other interesting accusations to make?"
 Forgive me, Nancy, was fool!" pleaded Jim, earnestly. 1T forget sometimes that 1 have not still the right to speak to you on Such matters. For five years l have thought of you as my promised wife, and now that I am with you l cannot always realize that you are mine no longer. Say. that you forgive me. Nancy, for my rough ness and presumption"
 After this quarrel Jim found it im- possible to be on the same footing of friendship with Nancy. She was colder and more constrained than ever in her manner toward him, and he was too proud and too manly to force his love on her, believing that she dis liked him; and at last, after bitter struggle with himself, he determined to return to India at once.
 He had never been to the Ness lately without some valid reason, and this new decision was so good an excuse for calling that he was not slow in taking advantage of it. He found Nancy in the garden, arrayed in a large white sun bonnet, busy gathering straw berries for tea.
 ''I am going back to India; I have had enough of England"
 ''To India? At once? O, why?" she asked piteously, growing very white and looking at him with frightened eyes.
 Do you care, Nancy?" he asked eagerly. Would you rather stayed?"
 My wishes have nothing to do with the matter" she said, rather bitterly.
 Indeed, they have" he said. very earnestly. Nancy, tell me, would you rather stayed?"
 If say yes, would you stay?" she asked, quietly.
 "Only if you loved me-" he said. "I cannot stay on and see you day after day, and feel that you will never care for me. May stay, Nancy?"
 If you like" she answered shyly.
 There is one thing want to know" he said, presently, looking down into her eyes; when did you begin to love me, dear?"
 When did you begin to love me?" she replied, blushing under his gaze.
 II don't know; 1 have loved you all my life," he answered.
 T don't know, either" she said; when was about four or. five, l think"
 But my darling, you broke off our engagement" he said, wonderingly.
 "Yes, from your letters l thought I did not love you. They were 80 stupid II mean"
 "Yes; they were stupid, but yours were silly, too, and l thought that was the kind of things you liked" he said, intelligence dawning in his eyes.
 II thought you were terribly boyish, so wrote very young letters, thinking they would interest you" she said. be- ginning to laugh.
 We both fell into the same mistake, then" he said, laughing, too. Way erly Magazine.

Queen Victoria Is Called "Mamma."

Queen Victoria is remarkably con- servative old lady as far as the routine of life goes. She loves old customs and does not like new things-not even new furniture or new fashions. When dis tinguished lady, it is said, sent her children, by her majesty's request, to Windsor few years ago she sent them dressed as was and is still the mode, in tucked blouse dresses without sashes. But thcqueen considered that no child should be brought to her in other but full dress, and full dress, in her mind, did not exist without the smart sash she had always known. And very cour- teously but firmly she made objection to the little frocks and asked that the next time the countess brought her children to her that ''she would not forget the sashes." The queen still wears the horrible congress gaiters of thirty years ago, in which her foot shows no sign of Spanish instep. Her children still address her in the way which was fashionable when they were little things. No member of the upper classes ever said mother" then, and from the eldest to the youngest they still call the queen mamma"

NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTION.

So loyal has Mississippi been
in the past to the democratic par
ty that it is scarcely necessary to
call upon her TO do her duty in
the election of'next Tuesday. No
State in the Union can boast of a
purer democracy than can MISC
issippi, we say pure, because it
has never known to be doubtful; !;
it may have been misled on some
issues, but it remains democratic
for all that.
Indeed, Mississippi could not
we'll be aught but democratic, for
it is the democratic party that has
given her all she has and placed
her on that proud footing upon
which she rests to-day. Misissip-
pi loves democracy as Brutus low
cd Rome, and she will stab to the
heart any party or parties that
attempts to wrest from her, her
time worn honors,
Mississippi and democracy are
synonymous and they must so re-
main until the moths of time eat
away the ermine of that party's
grand achievements.
The only opposition democracy
will have next Tuesday will be that
offered by that miserable deform-
ity--populism; and we all know
that the populitesparty in Missis.
ippi is too weak to be looked up
on as serious opponent, still we
would not advise the democratic
party to stay away from the
polls; on the contrary let il
turn out in all its strength as il
has always done in the past, anc
democracy will be crowned with ;
grand victory.
