DRY GOOpS.

New York, Dec. 2O.-The amount of
business reported in the dry goods mar
ket to-day demonstrates the value of the
reductions which were made recently in
staple bleacheG. goods. Both in number
and in size the mail orders received to-
day were in the highest degree satisfac-
tory for these and similar lines, and the
store trading has been of a decidedly en-
couraging character In other lines of
staple cottons the market remains rather
quiet, though there has been some sympa-
thetic buying in brown sheetings and
shirtings and coarse colored goods.

MISS RICHARDSON'S WHISKY.
Maj. Thomas Does Not Want His Nee
tar Analysed.
From the New York Times.

FROM InS new Y Ork IlIn6S.
Lexington, KY, Dec 1S.-Maj. B. G.
Thomas, who furnished Miss Richardson
the bottle of old whisky which was to
christen the Kentucky. writes the follow
ing caustic answer to one of the many let
ters he has received this week.
Lexington, KY, Dec. 1S.-My Dear
Chemist, Washington, D. c.. Your favor
asking for quart of my 43-year-old
whisky in order to make careful chemi-
cal analysis of it, in the interest of science,
is received, and l am reminded by your
request of a terrible fight that occurred
between an engineer of great science, who
kindly proffered to an old farmer his SER
vices to explain to him how easily his
pond could be drained
THE farmer protested aginst the
drainage, saying he did not want his pond
drained, and the engineer continued trying
to explain to- him how easily it could be
done, but we will have no fight, though l
must say that | do not want an analysis
of my old whisky, and the only way that
another bottle of it win ever get out of
my house will be for another young lady
as beautiful as Miss Richardson to ask me
for it. Then it will go quick. If you or
and other gentleman will come to my
house you will have a hearty welcome to
an old sideboard with plenty of that old
whisky on it, and l will make this propo-
sition for the interest of science
There is a mineral well on my farm,
and the water is said TO contain five grains
Of bromide per gallon. Let me send you
a barrel of this water, and after you find
that 1t really does have such a strong i'm
pregnation of bromide, you can tell my
good friend Senator Blackburn, and he will
point out to you his co-senators whose
heads are swollen on Mondays, and by
administering this water o them they will
be greatly benefited. No, excuse me, l
do not want my old whisky analysed.
