CHICAGO, March 6.--Wheat was even
duler today than it was yesterday, and
with a sudden ia ling off in the encourag-
ing news which furnished the stimulus yes
terday there was further decline in price.
The builish feeling which existed at the
close yesterday had totally disappeared by
the time of the opening, and in its place sat
bearish confidence. The change was largely
a matter of favorable weather, partly also
of the depressed condition of the flour
trade to some extent. as we'll as because
the export of $4,000 bushels of spring
wheat from here which was reported yes
terday losti influence when the circum-
srances of that transaction were known.
The market was steaded by reports of a
considerable cash business, the days sales
aggreaatng $4,000 bushels. Another
factor which impaired tirmer tone at the
decline was the prediction of colder weather
for the next forty-eight hours for the
winter wheat belt. which, following
bly, do some injury to growing crops.
Exports were fair at 33l 900 bushels. of
which 100000 bushels was in flour. The
prospective decrease i'll the visible was also
productive of some streng h, the trade

stroyed by lire last Monday. and Duluth, it
was figured, would increase $4,000 BUSH
els, a net decrease for the northwest of

and business light, the bad condition of the
country roads making dealers cautious.
There was considerable activity at times
in oats but the feeling was easier. Provis-
ions were almost totally neglected AT

be afraid of the boy sitting on your
right.
The American boy who is perfectly
faithful even as a brakeman on a rail-

can boy was Impotence, if he was spir-

'Limitless opportunities are yours
Heed not the grumbler and the croak-
ers, if YOU do, you'll soon be like them"
The Judge told a story on good Jack
Mills who said there was no use in
having tears in the eye when the
mouth was full of bucllwheat cakes.
The misfortunes hardest to bear
were those that never come but when
the storm does come remember that
the comfort is in the still small voice.
He came only to speak to the pupils
and came only with words of hope
and cheer. There was never a country
that had recuperated like the South,
and the opportunity was here.
The Judge counselled the boys to be
always tender and true closing with
the beautiful lines from Edwin Ar
nold's Light of Asia:
"Pity and need make all flesh kin
There is no caste in blood that tioweth
of one hue
Nor caste in tears that tricllle salt
withal
Neither cometh man to birth with
tilka mark on brow
Or sacred thread on neck"
The address was enthusiastically
applauded. the Judge having had UNI
divided attention during the three
quarters of an hour of it's delivery.
The baccalaureate sermon tonight
by DR.. Summerbell fully sustained his
high reputation as a pulpit orator.
Tomorrow is graduation day and

college and the outlook for next year
is very bright
OF the 1875 students about one-third
are Young women, and the problem of
the co-education of the sexes may be

The Christian church is building

I am told that big hearted men of
money in many places are taking deep
interest in the progress of the lnstitu-
ton. One millionaire in Massachu
sets has declared his intention to
leave this college $4,000. And there
are others. This all comes from the
confidence inspired in the skillful
handling of the college by President
Staley whose heart and soul are in
the work. In few years a gentleman
remarked to-day. Elon will be among
the first colleges of the State and with

TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
One White Cap Desperate Killed ard
One Other Wounded.

Wilson, \. c., June 10.-(SpeciaD-
The people of Lucama, in Wilson coun-
ty. have been greatly incensed of late
over depredations committed upon the
property of L. +. Lucas. A gang of
law breakers had torn down his fence
time and time again and burned the
rails. Not satisfied with this they
determined to burn two new tobacco
barns, and Monday night was fixed
for the commission of the crime. Mr..
Lucas got information of this, and
he Immediately came to Wilson and
consulted ex-Solicitor John f. Wood
ard. one of the best prosecutors in the
State. Acting upon his advice Mr..
Lucas and five friends secreted them
selves near the barns, and awaited
further developments. About 10
o'clock some men approached the
barns, and four went TO the residence
of Mr.. Lucas when they We're ignited.
The four men, who went to the house
of Mr.. Lucas, seeing two men approach
ing, and thinking that it might be
Lucas and his son, fired upon them,
killing Rob Watson instantly and dan
gerously wounding Jethro Rowe. As
they wore white caps it is inferred
that they were on their way to join
the gang of desperadoes. and fell at
the hands of their own friends.

The Clever BengnIese.

Two Bengalese have attracted much attention. One, named Bose, physicist in Calcutta. has made some researches in invisible electricity which have ex- cited admiring astonishment in Lord Kelvin, while another, named Chatter jee, has come out far at the head of the competitors for the Indian civil service. A third, Lieutenant Biswas, is said to have displayed extraordinary gallantry in Brazil, but though his name is Benga- lese we should like further information as to his lineage and the causes which led Bengalese to accept commission in South America The first two stories do not surprise us who have always maintained that the Bengalese is the most intellectual of Asiatics and far the superior of most Europeans both in sub tlety of thought and the power of &C., quiring information. Indeed the superb ority of his brain, at all events until he is 30, is political difficulty. If admit ted to office by fair system of competi- tion, he would in ten years monopolize office and render the administration of India impossible. The other races of h. dia will not obey him, and as rule he does not possess the kind of morale which is essential to the work of gov ernment.-London Spectator.

The Last Wrestle.

Death to many, nay, to all, is struggle and wrestle. We have many friends whom it would be hard to leave, I care not how bright our future hope is. It is bitter thing to look upon this fair world and know that we shall nev- CT again see it's blossoming spring, it's autumnal fruits, its sparkling streams and to say farewell to those with whom we played in childhood or counseled in manhood. In that night, like Jacob, we may have to wrestle, but God will not leave us unblessed. It shall not be told in heaven that dying soul cried unto God for help, but was not delivered. The lattice may be turned to keep out the sun or book set to dim the light of the midnight taper, or the room may be filled with the cries of orphanage or widowhood, or the church of Christ may mourn over our going, but if Jesus calls all is we'll. The strong wrestling by the brook will cease, the hours of deaths night will pass along, 1 o'clock in the morning, o'clock in the morn ing, o'clock in the morning, "the day breaketh. "

with this world is that it treats me too we'll. But when the time comes to go I trust to be ready, my worldly affairs all settled. If l have wronged others, want then to be sure of their forgive ness. In that last wrestling, my arm enfeebled with sickness and my head faint, want Jesus beside me. If there be hands on this side of the flood stretch ed out to hold me back, want the heavenly hands stretched out to draw me forward. Then. O Jesus, help me on and help me up. Unfearing, un- doubting, may step right out into the light and be able to look back to my kindred and friends who would detain me here, exclaiming: Let me go, let me go. The day breaketh.

An African Salt Works.

Karembwe's is one of the salt mak- ing villages; a sandy clay is dug out of the marshes and placed in grass fun nels. Water poured on this dissolves the salt. The solution trickles through the green filter into trough, after which it is boiled and strained, and fine, large crystal salt is obtained. It is 8 great trade in this part of the world. All villages make salt, which is put up in loads about five inches in diameter by four feet long. All these people, the Waitawa, are very polite.
