THE AFRICAN POLYGAMlST.
And the Moral Mess That Was Stirred On
by His Conversion.


The condition was about like this: The
old African chief had three wives and the
missionaries explained to him that three
were too many. Then ho found the matter
was not even to be compromised by turn
ing off two and going to tho chapel to be
married, with accompanying hymns and
orange blossoms, with No. 3, for the
ladies held together. Not one Of them
would marry him and let tho other two
60 So the poor old chief worried him.
self to a shadow and anybody else who
would listen to him. His white trader
friends told hin, not TO be such an internal
ass. Some Of his black follow chiefs said
the missionary was quite right and the
bost thing for him TO do would be to hand
over to them tho three old wives and go
and marry young girl from tho mission
school. Personally they were not yet afllict-
cd with scruples on the subject of polyg.
amy and, OF course (being missionary man
now, he would not think of taking any
thing for his wives, SO they would do their
best, as friends, to help him. Others Of his
black fellow chiefs, less advanced in oul-
ture, Just said, "What sort of fool palaver
you make" and spat profusely. The poor
old man smelled hell fire and cried, "Yo,
yo, yo,' and beat his hands upon tho
ground.
1t was q moral mess of the first water
all round. Still do not imagine the mis-
sion field Is full OF 70 yoing old chiefs, for
although the African Is undecided he ia
also very ingenious, particularly in dodg
ing inconvenient moral principles. Many
keen old chief turns on his pastor and
makes driving inquiries about the patri-
arohs until I have heard a sorely tried
pastor question the wisdom Of introducing
the Old Testament to tho heathen. Many
young man hesitates about joining the
| church that will require his entering into
| the married state with ono woman, whom
| he knows he may not whack and who will
! go and report all his little failings up at
the mission and get him into hot water
with the missionary, whose good opinion
he values highly, and he is artful enough
to know he enjoys this good opinion more
as an interesting possible convert than lie
would as church mem Der requiring "dis.

CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions OF tn, Board o
Trade

The Days Transactions OF tn, Board of
Trade
CHICAGO, July 16.-The wheat market
started a shade higher than it closed yes
terday, the principal reason for the slight
additional strength being the fact that
prices here were practically at an export
rate and that as much as 10000 bushels
had been worked on the day before. Liver
pool opened shade under yesterdays
closing prices, due to the &c decline here
Wednesday. Probably for the same reason
Liverpool, in some instances, reduced their
buying limits for spring wheat &c per
bushel. In the afternoon some of the bids
from Liverpool were advanced, permitting
the working of 105 bushels in ALL in
Guiding the 49, 900 bushels done in the af-
ternoon. Paris closed at an advance
equivalent to 29s per bushel, and those lat
ter matters together closed wheat strong
here at 56as. Aside from discouraging Wall
street conditions routine news was gem
orally favorable to holders. Northwestern
receipts were 2S2 cars compared with 4O3
q week ago, but in comparison with only
1874 cars last year. English bids for flour
We're advanced Sd per barrel, and q good
business was done. The corn country was
favored with cooler temperature and rain.
That made the market heavy, although
by no means radically weak. Receipts
were only 204 cars by rail. Exports from
Atlantic ports were 276,571 bushels. and ves-
sci room was TAKEN mere IOT ZVV,UUU DuSTl-
els. The volume of business in oats was
fairly heavy. The early market was firm.
influenced by good demand and light Of
ferings. Liquidation in the provision mar
ket has become an almost daily occur
renee. Some of the tired holders appear to
be taking turns at becoming exhausted
and others are frightened thereby into a
similar abandonment of their load
