Once for a day beside the northern sea
Our paths blent together on Fates chart,
And then the thin lines set divergently,
For all time led apart.
But it's his name. mid all the new wars slain.
That brings me near TO battles awe and
dread
That keys the heart within me to the pain
With which man mourns the dead.
His were the virtues that our grandsides knew
The steadfast faith the sturdy loyalty,
And the clean soul that, like a compass true
Holds straight in any
Twas like him that he went unheralded!
Twas like his generous heart to give his all;
Twas ike~him, too. following where valor led
Among TIE first to fall.
Twas like him. And the phrase write again;
Twas like the simple courage OF his soul
To strive amid the boldest win. and then
Lie prone across the goal.
IT'S of such brain and Drawn that God has made
A nation, setting wide its boundary bars
And to its banner giving the high aid
And courage of the stars.
And if in these. late DAYS man still may cling
To what is high and noble in all time,
Then l. remembering, TO his bier may bring
My slender wreath Of rhyme.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-There was little encour-
agement for wooden goods operators in the auc-
ton sale of the Boundbrook goods held yesterday.
The woolens brought about 80 per cent. less than
the prices at Which similar goods can be obtained
at private purchases. Buyers were not seemin gly
anxious to take them at these prices and
local operators secured most of the stocks. In
cotton goods the results have not been more bril-
liantly satisfactory. Staple cottons show no
change except in the minor details. The market
for export goods continues fairly active, but
brown sheetings and drills for domestic are
very quiet Bleached cottons are subject to a
demand of small caliber and although prices are
firmly held the daily results are far from salts
factory Denims firm and in fair request.
Checks, pads, stripes ticks and the like are
quiet and without feature. The demand for
blankets is we'll sustained and fair business in
cotton 1annels is reported. White goods show no
change. Print cloths have sold less freely during
the present week than they did last week. Extras
are still quoted at &c. Odd goods are not quite so
expensive. The demand is a little freer, however.
Printed cottons are quiet and generally dull.

Little New to Note i'm Local Markets
Changes in Values Few

changes In values Few.
While there was good deal of activity on the
wholesale streets and on Commission row yester-
day. there were no features which call for special
mention. The dry goods houses the last day or
two have been doing very good business and
grocers crowded with orders. In many other
lines there is a very satisfactory volume of bust
ness in progress for midsummer. In prices
changes were slight Sugar is frmer, but not
quotably higher. Oranges are about off the mar
ket. Lemons firm and in active request

The City i'm Danger of Losing Caste
i'm the West.

in the West.
Kansas City Journal.
If Boston does not bid farewell to her
nervousness about Spanish war vessels and
take a hitch in her belt and a brace to her
courage she will fall from her present posi-
ton as mentor to the expanding West.
This is said more in sorrow than in anger,
for we love Boston out here. Philadelphia
is too much like st. Louis to command the
affection of Western man, end New York
is the abode of the plutocrat the unearned
increment and the English riding saddle;
but to Boston the West cheerfuliy defers.
We have accepted the girl with myopic
glasses and short curlS for love of Boston.
We have tolerated Wagner and Ibsen on
the same account. We have sacrificed our
finer feelings for Boston's sake, have eaten
asparagus salad with our fingers, and have
consumed pie with fork instead of knife
in defiance of the native instinct of the
Western heart. We have wallowed in the
obscurities of Emerson when we might have
been reading Jerome K. Jerome, and all for
love of Boston These things give US right
to speak and enlighten Boston as to the real
nature of her hold on the West.
The Westerner accepts Boston on her rec
ord, and honors the Boston man dead
game sport He remembers Bunker Hill,
Paul Revere and the Tea Party. He ac-
knowledgeS that Boston had men who were
hard to handle in the days when the Smith
& Wesson slumbered in the bosom of the
future, and Dick Wooten's grandfather was
just learning to talk. He remembers that
when the British arrived and tried to shoot
up the town Boston was right on the spot.
airs, for she has a record 1t will be re-
membered that Apache Bill was always al
lowed to wear a collar when he wanted to.
But this hysteria over Spain's guns rather
staggered the West. We don't know how to
account for it. We have plenty of Boston
men out here who are not that kind; have
we imported all the original stock and left
nothing behind but single ladies and small
children? Or is this the natural effect of a
culture that has progressed from Emerson
to Maeterlinck and Burne-Jones? If so. we
are warned in time, for nothing holds the
Maeterlinck Club together out this way but
the salad and the iced tea. But be this as 1t
may we hereby warn Boston that this
nervous prostration business must stop
right here. Let her remember the days
when the British lion himself could not
fluff Boston, and contrast them with the
degenerate present, when even the Spanish
onion brings tears to her eyes. Take a
brace Boston, take a brace!

IN HONOR OF THE BOYS IN BLUE.
Company II of the IL. 5. ,lth Infantry Honored Quests, Capt. William ricNorton of the Ca.
 nadian National Guard Present.

A few weeks ago the government sent Co. il of the 14th infantry to this city under the command of Capt. Eldridge, and our enterprising citizens would of course not let the opportunity pass by without expressing our appreciation of their visit to this place, and under the leadership of Mrs. Duncan Mckinnon, Miss J. Mcintyre, Mrs. J. Heil, Mrs. Lizzie Sanger and Miss Daisy Barnes, grand ball was given in the McKin- non hall last Friday evening for the purpose named.
 Capt. William McNorton. member of the Canadian National Guard, Was an invited guest The hall was pro fusely decorated with flags and in honor of our foreign visitor, the Cana dian flag was displayed on the south end of the spacious hall, between two of the stars and stripes.
 A part of Co. A. of the N. G. A. of this city, which was recently organized, were also present, led by Capt. Steph- ems and Lieutenants Rinearson and Weymouth.
 The music was furnished by Prof. Edson and the Nordwig Bros. and was of the very best.
 The grand march took place at about twelve o'clock. after the ball had been commenced, owing 10 the absence of Capt Eld.ldge, who did not arrive un- til that time. The Captain and Mrs. Me kinnon lead the march. who were neSt followed by Capt. William McNorton and Mrs. Heil From the line of march it Was discovered that about one hun dred participants were present

indian Money.

\ piece of copper about fourteen by twenty four inches square and about an eighth of an inch thick. in the show window at the Wrangel Supply Co., store in this city, is piece of Indian money. A News reporter was led to enquire Nhat it was of MT. Case, who by the way is not the easiest man ni the world to interview. We finally got him backt q into a corner and applied our news pump, and it resulted in the information that the piece of Indian money referred to was in use by the natives until about twenty years ago when it's circulation ceased.
 "How did the Indians count or esti- mate it's value?" asked the scribe.
 That money among Indians was probably worth a couple of thousand of dollars" said Mr Case, "and it's val ue was estimated in blankets and slaves 4 blanket was valued at dol lar and slave at four or five hundred dollars and the piece of money was worth six slaves; so 1t was called six slayer in the Indian tongue"
 The piece of money referred to is neatly bent into shape we will not try to describe, and also has some engrav. ing upon it. It certainly is a very valua- ble curio.
