BUTTER-The market not strong today.
Offerings were heavy and the demand limited.
Shipping stock fairly strong because of
large shipments.
Shippers should try and get butter in here
in lots of % tubs or over, when it is possible
to do without running the risk of spelling
as lots of that size will bring premium
smaller sized lots. There is a fair demand
for diaries and market is steady. The packing
stock market is rather unsettled. A fair amount
was sold on the exchange at 12c, which had
the effect of reducing quotations nc from yes

CHAPTER II,-HOPE.

One afternoon, when things in Ajacio had
become practically insufferable, 1 met Innez
in the principal square. l noticed an ex-
preston of sadness on his face, and was
about to question him, when he said:
''The people are losing courage, they can
not last over tomorrow. They will soon
surrender the city. l have asked them to
delay but a few hours longer, until l can
execute my PROMISE
"What was that?" 1 inquired.
81 have promised he said, ''that before
shutdown tomorrow l shall have word sent
to Gen. Donatelli."
Nonsense mani" he exclaimed, "you
must be mad! You could not get out of
Ajacio, unless added derisively 'you had
a balloon"
Excellent King of Guessers," replied
Innez, kindly follow me to my home''
We had soon reached the house of the
South American, a fine mansion upon Capt.
. toll Hill, the most commanding site in the
of the house. he conducted me- by means Of
a side path, to the lawn in the rear of the
dwelling. Here curious spectacle met my
astonished view. Spread upon the lawn
were the leaves of thousands of books, form
ing a white carpet, covering more than half
the area of the lawn. Each leaf overlapped
the other by half and the sheets we're glued
firmly together. The immense expanse of
paper lay drying in the SUM-

l looked nervously at Innez.
1.-The sun is shining on u.s." he said, land
that makes the gas expand. l shall have to
let some of it OUT
He took hold of the cord and tried to
pull back the flap of the escape valve AS
l watched him, l saw his face grow suddenly
very pale, and over his features came an
expression of horror.
Man alive!" exclaimed, whats
wrong?"
The valve won't work." was the answer;
''the flap must be caught in some way" He
gave the cord a very hard pull, and, to our
CONSERVATION, it parted, the end flying up
and lodging in the netting far above, and
altogether out of reach.
IF l cannot let out the gas, the balloon
will burst!" shouted Innez, wild with ex-
element, springing into the main ring, his
long curls flying about his face, which was
deadly pale. He made his way into the net
ting and tried to reach the broken cord; but
he had to give up the attempt, for the bal
loon would not stand his weight and retain
Its equilibrium and at my earnest entreaty
he returned to the car.
For two hours We tried every possible ex-
pedient to obtain the lost communication
with the valve, but to no avail All the
while the balloon seemed swelling out more
and more-or at least we imagined it was
for the sun was we'll up now, and was shin
ing upon us with all its sub-equatorial fury
With folded hands and an expression of
despair on his face, Innez silently awaited
the expected catastrophe.

served fer a year. Already Lieutenant
Commander Philip had begun to win the
reputation for fair and friendly dealing with
his men which has only grown stronger with
the passing years. Throughout the navy he
is known as an officer who gives his men
every possible liberty. But he is as stern
as justice when Jack takes advantage of
his kindness. AS a consequence, his crews
are always made up of picked men. Lazy
men and slattcrns cannot live on board a
ship he commands, where good behavior
means good treatment, but no breaches of
discipline are tolerated.
The next three years, from 1868 to 1871
he spent in European waters serving as ex-
ecutive of the Richmond, attached to the
European squadron. Then he went back to
his old post on the Hartford on the Asiatic
station. In June. 1873, he was given his first
command, the Monocacy. In February, 1874,
he was given leave of absence from the de-
partment in order to command one of the
steamships of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company. While serving in this capacity
he was commissioned a commander, and in
July, 1876, his leave was revoked and he was
given command Of the Adams.
Commander Philip was now SO years old
He had seen service in war and in peace;
he had commanded ships in the three quar-
tors of the world, but still different and
more varied service was before him.
In April, 1877 he was detached from his
command and given leave to command the
woodruff Scientific Expedition Around the
World" From this work he was called
back in December and sent in command of
the Tuscarora to survey the west coast Of
Mexico and Central America. Three years
