Yes, the~picket is exposed to danger
constantly, and to various kinds of danger.
He knows not what moment a lurking foe
may spring upon him from the darkness,
or bullet from a scout or Sharpshooter
may reach him at any time. Then, too,
he is exposed to the raging elements
heat and cold, rain and snow. No matter
whether in the depths of the forest or in
the open plain, or in the rifie-pit standing
in water knee-deep the poor picket must
moi heed the storm, but keep both eyes
and ears open to catch the slightest sound.
After severe marches, when the men
are greatly fatiCued, and il seems almost
impossible to perform any more duty with
out rest and sleep, some, Of course, are
sent on picket duty, while the rest are
permitted to sleep. Oh, how my heart has
ached for those men, and il seemed to
me that the persons and regiments in

the most picket duty TO perform.

No language can describe the Joy Of

their deliverance.
Mr. A relates the following anecdote
illustrative of this fact which took place
at the battle of Newbern: "A Shareholder,
breathless with terror, spurred his horse
to his utmost speed past his own house,
not venturing to stop. Just then a shell
with its terrific, unearthly shrek, rushed
through the air over his head.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, May 5.-Liverpool set the ball
rolling in the wheat market by reporting
another sensational advance there at the
opening, the gain in July, compared with
the previous days closing being equal to
about 7c a bushel. The reason for the Liv-
Liverpool advance was, OF course, the con-
arriving off coast in the United Kingdom
and the greater avidity of France and
Antwerp importers to secure them; Inc
grain duties having now been abolished in
France, Italy and Spain, leaves those coun-
tries to dispute with the United Kingdom
for possession of the wheat as 1t arrives
off the coast on the other side. The con-
firmation abroad, so clearly given by the
removal of the duties, justified apparently
to the full the conviction with which Letter
started in last July to buy wheat. The
continental nations by throwing off the i'm
port duties, seemingly admit that their own
stocks have been practically exhausted.
Active competition at Liverpool has caused
a rapid advance there for the past week,
but the full force of the famine was not
felt in this market until TO-DAY: AT the
present time the July option is the active
speculative month, and the bears have sold
freely, expecting to fill their contracts out
of the new crop. But May options appear
to be controlled entirely by Joseph Letter,
an indication, holds the few who are still
short to him in death grip.
The market opened with an advance OF
one cent for July and six cents for. May.
wheat started at ss5sc, sold up to l.ooss,
and dropped back to $3.50. May, which had
been at 137. reacted to 1.31. Letter brokers
bought July on the decline and after ac-
cumulating a couple of million bushels
withdrew. Closing cables from abroad
showed advances of 71ac at London, &c at
Liverpool, 4c at Antwerp, and &c at Paris
Then Letter capped the climax by an.
nouncing the sale of 1900 900 bushels No. 2
red to French syndicate at LAT per BUSH
ell. In addition Letter sold $780, 900 bushels in
odd lines. This remarkable advance set
the pit wild. May wheat, which had rail-
lied to the opening price, 1.S7, jumped to
1.5O with 2 and 3 cents between each sale.
The trade was not broad by any means.
1t simply meant that somebody had been
caught short and was trying to get out, re-
gardless Of the cost. At 1.50 Letters brok-
ers stopped the advance by selling few
small lots, but the market closed strong at
these figures. July was handicapped by
free liquidation for a time. From around
99h it gradually worked up, gathering
strength slowly. finally touching 1.01.
Corn ruled dull and neglected. July
closed Nc net higher.
Oats ruled firm. shut without special fea-
ture. July rallied near the close. winding
up nc higher.
Provisions were dull and heavy, owing
to the large receipts Of hogs at western
markets. July pork closed sc lower, lard
7c lower, and ribs &c lower.

be at her side in twenty-four hours" We

there can be malaent's doubt of its literal
truth. From the wind which Spain has
sown will spring up the whirlwind which
will overwhelm her. The book OF the sibyl

each time with fewer leaves at higher
price. She has let the warnings pass un-
needed, and unless she quickly seizes her
last chance, she will have to pay all that
she has for nothing at all.-London Chroni-

Shortly after the fellow appeared very
drunk. How he obtained the liquor no one

out, promising to forgive him II he would
tell from whom he got the liquor. After
some hesitation he hiccoughed out, "Wny,
