Cadet Powell a Hero, Too,

At 6:15 a, m. the launch came alongside
the fagship; but she did not have on
board any of the crew of the Merrimac.
Cadet Powell reported that he had been
unable to see any signs of the Merrimac' s
crew. It developed that, with great brav-
cry, the cadet had gone right under the
batteries, and only returned when all hope
of taking on board the crew Of the Mer-
rimac had to be abandoned. ( &.
Cadet Powell also reported that he had
clearly seen the Merrimac's masts stick
ing up just where Hobson hoped to sink
her, north of the EstrelIa battery and well
past the guns Of Moro CASTLE But of the
there was not "a sound or a sign. II
Rear-Admiral Sampson said: II am
pretty sure the attempt was quite sue
cessful. hope oil those brave fellows
are not captured. :. M ssssz IS rs
Cadet Powell believes the torpedoes
previously fixed about the Merrimac were
exploded as planned, as Lieut.. Hobson
ish opened fire on the Merrimac.

Lord, that our print paper and ink cost
money, but the subscribers knoweth il

One day some poor children in Ger

crying because they did not have any
eggs Tor Easter. A little rabbit, that
was in the bushes, heard them talking.
He went and ask bird to weave little
basket, Then he asked every bird in the

LETTERS WHEAT DEAL.

It is always tho unexpected that
happens. Not long since it was
given out that Mr.. Letter had
cleared his millions in his immense
wheat deal, had purchased a mag
nifcent steam yacht and would
retire from the wheat pit indef-
nately.
Now it appears that he not only
has not cleared millions, but has
lost more than 100000, and the
closing up of the deal is in the
hands of trustees. From the posi-
ton of "king of the wheat pitt he
passes to the role of vassal. Thus
"riches take to themselves wings
and fee away
The whole deal is a practical
demonstration of the principal that
he who violates the law of supply
and demand violates the funda-
mental Jaw of trade and must
inevitably pay the penalty. It also
goes to show that no one man nor
set Of men can long dictate the
commerce of the world in any
