 Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 23.-It took the greater portion of today's session to advance sthe wheat market 1%c and but a very short time to cause decline of over cent per bushel of this, rather indicating that the undertoone to the market is mot as strong as fluctuations times would indicate, and from all ap- pearances a grealt many traders are afraid of the long side. while holders are not disposed to wait for too large a profit. The trading today was large and mainly between professionals, who were both buying and selling to a considera- ble extent. News for tine most part was, bullish and created demand from scalpers. but the tendency seemed to: scalp and on the bu1ges good selling occurred. The steady feeling at the close, yesterday was carried over to this morn- ing and although opening figures were at a slight discount, there was no concerted action to seal Northwestern receipts were large, 1,13s cars, but advices from the northwest to the effect that tfresh- ing returns are disappointing served as, an offset. Liverpool closed firm un- changed to Nd higher than yesterday. and advices from there reported French buying of cargoes off coast. There wan also a oable from St. Petersburg pre- dieting that the Russian government would prohibit the exporting of wheat from that country, and for a few min utes created quite @ stir among local shorts, but was not taken seriously by the general trade. Clearances were mod crate, 442,000 bushels. The close was rather weak. A@Ad below yesterday. The trade in corn was ra ther slow
 There was some strength early in tine advance in wheat, but the demand was not large, and prices soon fell off con sfderably.

ALL In A TANGLE.
By KATE LEE.

Legbia Moore was returning from
a Saturday afternoon shopping ex-
pedition in the town OF Oldborough.
Her destination WAS the Grammar
School at Brierlon, so a good four
miles walk lay before her. 1t was
a pleasant walk, and she was pre-
pared to enjoy it. For the first
half-mile her way led along the
bank of the little river Devon,
which after skirting the town flow
cd through level pastures out on
to wide marsh and thence on to
the sea. While she was still some
distance from the bridge which
spanned the river Just outside the
town, she recognized two men who
were standing there in conversa-
ton. One was the Rev. Henry
Healey, vicar of Brierton; the
other Jack Macdonald, resident
asslstant-master at the Grammar
School. Before Lesbia had reached
the bridge, the two men had parted,
and Mr.. Healy's tall figure, in
black clerical dress with wide-fy-
ing coat-tails, could be seen rapid
ly disappearing up road TO the
right. Jack Macdonald, seeing
Lcsbia approaching, walked to
meet her.
"Have you heard the news, Miss
Moore?' he asked as they met.
81 have heard nothing today"
said Lesbia, looking inquiringly at
the young schoolmaster.
"Mr. Healey's son." said Jack,
"his blind son, Harold, is coming
from London in a day or two to
stay through the autumn at the
Vicarage."
Lesbia's expressive face bright
cned with pleasure.
''That is good news" she said ;
81 shall be glad 10 see him again. !"
Bat there was no responding
! pleasure in Jacks fair, boyish
face. He looked moody.
"Alice is coming with him, "
said he, in a gloomy voice.
Lc5bia looked at him in surprise
81 should have thought that
would have made you supremcly
happy" she said, half laughing,
half curious. "Why are you SC
mclancholy?'
A pleasant sort of relationship
taxisted between these two people
Lesbia Moore liked the simple

learned to love you. Alice knew
my secret. She thought you cared
for me too, and tried to give us op-
portunities of being together. We
could not understand why at the
last you avoided ne so. l longed
TO speak to you before | went away,
but | could not ask you to give
yourself to a helpless blind man."
An hour later Lesbia knocked at
the door of JackMacdonald' 9 school
room. 1t was quite dark then.
Jack was sitting at his desk with
lamp and pile of exercise
books beside him. He had grown
to look much older during the four
months since he had heard of the
understanding" between Alice
and Harold.
"AIr. Macdonald" said Lesbia,
walking up 70 him, it was all a
mistake about Alice. Write to her
at once!"
JACK sprang, from his seat, up
setting the ink all over an exer-
else which was already we'll smear
ed and blotted.
"A mistakel What do you
mean? How do you know" he
said, staring at Lesbia's happy
face.
Harold told me?' she said.

The Cry Is Altogether
Raleigh News aud Observer.


II believe that the white people
will carry the State next year"
said Ex-Governor Jarvis as he sat
in the Marlborough House, looking
the picture of health after his re-
turn from Piedmont Springs.
1t will be remembered that
when called upon at the the teach
ers' Assembly to speak on the To-
cal school tax, Governor Jarvis
said he was in favor of the tax
but opposed to the law. He thinks
the law was not only crude, but
also bad, and that the people
will demand its repeal at the
hands of the next Legislature. It
is his opinion that the dissatisfac-
tion with the law helped to bury
the school tax.
Governor Jarvis thinks that the
vote on the school tax also shows
in a large measure the disgust of
the people with the legislation
that the Republicans and their al
lies gave US. The disgust was SO
general that the people only want
chance to vote to forever bury
4he fellows who have brought bad
government and disgrace to the
State.
1t is impossible for the Republi-
can party" he said, ''to give the
State good government. The ne
groes are incapable of giving it to
US, and the men they make can
not do better. The creature is no
better than the creator. We Will
not have return to peaceful and
quiet good governmental in the State
until the white people resolve to
come together as in 1876, and re-
deem the State from evils now
that are as bad as we suffered
then.
II have faith,' he said, "that
there are those who have gone
away from us who are sick and
teird of political alliance with
the negroes. They see now what
it means to them and to the State
and they are going next year
to help redeem the State

SOMETIME.

Sometime when life's lessons have been
learned.
And the sun and stars have forever
more set,
The things which our weak judgments
here have spurned.
The things DER which we grieved with
lashes wet.
Will flash before us out of life's dark
night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints of
blue
And we shall see how Gods plans are
right,
And how what seemed reproof was love
most true.
And we shall see how, while we frown
and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and
me
How, vixen we called, He needed not our
cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could
see.
And cen as prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving baby
hood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things, because it seem
eth good
And If, sometimes, cominingled with
life's wine
We find the worlnwood, and rebel and
shrink.
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out the, potion for our lips to
drink
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his
face,
oh do not blame the loving father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient
grace
And you shall shortly know that length
ened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His
| friend,
And that, sometimes the sable pail of
death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can
send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods work
ings see.
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery could find key.
But not to day. Then be content poor
heart;
Gods plans like lilies pure and white
unfold;
We must not tear the close shut leaves
apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold
And, if, through patient toll, we reach
the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loose
may rest,
When we shall clearly know and under
stand,
I think that we shall say, "God knew
best"
