4 Question OF WILLS.

Tho making of ones will is hardly to
be ranked among the pleasant duties Of
life My will, " says Slender, Il ncv-
er made my will yet, | thank heaven. I
am not such ii sickly creature, give
heaven praise" So also Dame Quickly,
when considering Falstaif's spiritual
concerns, hopes that sit isn't time to
think of making a will yet. When
David Garrick ostentatiously displayed
to the great leXicographer his pictures,
china, rare books and furniture at
Hampton Court, the sage exclaimed,
"Ah, David, David, these are tho
things that make II deathbcd terrible %
A story is told of dying mser, by

1t is said that the saying, 'Much may
be done with Scotchman if he he
caught young, which has passed into a
historical witticism, was first spoken by
DR.. Johnson in reference to Lord Mans
field. An amusing little incident is said
TO have given rise to the remark.
Lord Mansfield, having received his
education entirely i'll England, always
considered himself an Englishman, but
the fact that he was born i'll Scotland
was once referred to with great effect.
General Sabine, governor of Gibraltar
at the time, having failed in his at
tempts to cxtort money from Jew,
sent him back by force to Tetuan, i'll
Marocco, from whence he had come to
Gibraltar. The Jew afterward went to
England and sued the governor for
damages.
Lord Mansfield, who was then known
as Mr.. Murray, was counsel for the gov
ernor. In the course of his defense be-
fore the jury he said:
True, the Jew was banished. But
where? Why, to the place of his ma
tivity Where is tho cruelty, where the
hardship, where tho injustice of Danish
3ng man to his own country"
MIR. Novel;, counsel for the Jew, re-
tortcd: "Since my learned friend thinks
SO lightly OF tho matter, ask him to
suppose the case his own. Would he like
TO be banishcd to his native land?"
The court rang with peals of laugh
ter, i'll which Murray himself joined

INDIAN DOGS.
They Havo No Love For the White Man
and Show 1t.

They IInvo No Love For the White Man
and SHOW 1t.
kickapoo Indians are very fond of
dogs, both alive and fricaseed. Around
their tepces, or wickiups, or Queen
Annes, or whatever they call their
abodes, there are always half Il dozen
Wolfish dogs. An Indian dog hates Il
white man MS far us he can sec him
and loves an Indian as far as he can
smell him, and that is saying good
deal
When u white man driving through
tho Kickapoo country sees dog by the
roadside, his natural impulse is towhis-
tie i'll friendly way, for somehow in u
wilderness of prairie or forest a dog is
IL comfortable sight.
But the instant you whistle to ali In
dian dog he turns his tail and is out of
sight quicker than if he had been kicked
An Indian never whistles to his dog
when he wants his beast to como to
him; he places his tongue against his
teeth and Kisses.
Tho colored population Of Oklahoma
have almost as many dogs rs the Indi-
ans Those who live in the black Jack
sand hills are dog rich. These dogs have
deep rooted aversion for tho white
man also. When an old colorcd cotton
planter comes to town, some of the dogs
are sure to follow, and when the old
man walks up town the dog stays right
between his feet like a country dog I'M
der wagon. And whenever white
man comes within Snnuniup distance
the dog gets busy. KANSAS City Star.

Chicago Change.

Chicago Oct. 23-For inactivity today's wheat market deserved to rank very high. The session ended very much as it began, and with only a trifling difference in prices from yesterday. Wheat opened at 603sc, sold between 60la and 60d601sc, closing at 601sM602c, a shade higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady.
 Corn-As navigation approaches to a close, and more especially as lake freight rates are OH the decline the demand for cash corn for shipments shows symptoms of im- provement. The calls for near options in this grain were brisk and imperative today, leading to quite sharp upturn in prices for those deliveries, but failing to stimulate May in like manner. Another probable req son for the strength in early futures was that they have been oversold and as the new grain will not begin to move with any degree of proportions until December the old crop only is available on delivery. May corn opened at 29asc, sold at 291k 9299sc. clos ing at 293sd 291ac. 1sc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was 1241c per bushel higher
 Oats remained almost stationary. The slight variations and fluctuations were due solely to the rise or fall of wheat, but noth- ing significant was indicated by the changes. May oats closed 1sc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were steady and unchanged.
 Provisions--Trade was no better in pro- ducts than it has been of late At the close today June pork was 121ac higher. June lard 712c higher and January ribs Dc higher.

Ery Goods.

New York, Oct. 23.-The market for cot ton goods has again been quiet today, so far as aggregate business goes. There has nat urally been some unsettlement or senti- ment regarding the future of the dry goods market following the fall in the price of cot ton, but buyers who on the strength of orders for future deliveries of staple cottons on the level of bids recently made by them unsuccessfully have discovered that there selves to any greater extent than before. Reports of business in progress in jobbing circles here and elsewhere show fully an average trade passing. which in view of the excellent distribution already secured, is de- cidedly encouraging.
