YULE-TIDE.

TIE whole world is joyous and free from care,
Is singing the glad refrain
OF praise and of love, which the brcezes bear
Ger the land, in clear strain,
While message is breathed thru the frosty air
That "Iule-tide is again
'Tis that happy time when our hearts draw
To those who have done wrong;
We welcome them in with those who dear
With friends we have priced so long
Our hearts forgiving and filled with cheer
As we join in the Christmas song
Our Father i'll Heaven now looks kindly down
On us, this bright Christmas morn;
He spreads a white mantle to the brown
OF the earth, that like diamonds adOrn,-
As the Star in the East in its glory shone
When the Heavenly Child born.
Ring out, merry bells proclaim the glad day,
That gave Lord and King;
Tune your chimes to those slvery pcals far away,
Which angels in Heaven ring.
For there, too, is JOY on this glad birthday
Which peace all men" doth bring" Written for the

Audraln's Victory.

The following comments are
from the Sturgeon Leader:
Great was the victory won last
week at Chicago, by Col. Green
Clay on his two ear loads of fancy
fat cattle. Few people realize the
magnitude of the big show. or
what it meant to win a prize in
such hot competition. II is said
to have been the largest and finest
display of fat stock ever held in
this or any ot her country. The
two loads shown were composed of
three -ycar-Old stccrs-every one
bred and raised on the Colonel's
farm except two.
1t is Il well known fact, as dem
onstratcd by the distribution of
prizes at the big cattle shows thru
ont the country during the last
ten years including the Worlds
Fair, the Omaha Exposition, the
Combination ShOrthOrn and Here
ford shows at Kansas City and the
International Live Stock Exposi-
tion just closed mt Chicago, that i'll
the production of fine cattle Mis-
souri, stands at the head of the list
and no higher compliment can he
paid Col. Clay's stock than the
admitted fact that he maintains
one of the best herds of cattle to
be found anywhere in imperial
Missouri 1t is not in the make
up of Col. Clay to be selfish, and
IN letter to II personal friend
here, in speaking Of the cattle and
the prizes won, gives the lions
share of credit to Chas. Anderson,
who had the entire management
of fitting and showing the cattle.
The first and second prizes were
won 10y thrS" cattle in their class.
More than 20 ear loads competed,
including several ear loads from
/ Canada, besides one ear load won
the championship for the best
three ycar-old cattle in the entire
show.
The total cash value of the three
prizes was 800. Small indeed
must be the mental calibrc of any
one who could bcgrudgc to Col
Clay and ChaS Anderson the hon.

She Would Have Turned Turtle Under
Other Circumstances.

British tramp steamship Sandtield, which
lies in this port to-day, came. as it now
appears, desperately near turning turtle at
sea and going to the bottom with all
aboard She sailed from Pensacola for
Greenock with cargo of timber and with a
deck load OF timber also. Struck by a
storm off Hatteras. she took a list to star
board and hurriedly gettisoned a portion
of her deck load. She made this port with
a list of eighteen degrees. a survey was
called, and while this was being held by
CAPTAINS Charles ]. Hargreaves and VIII
liam lander, the ship heeled over to port
with a list of thirty degrees. Fortunately
she was alongside the dock, and as she
listed toward the pier her masts struck the
latter and kept her from lying down in
thirty feet of water.
She is untenable, however, and the crew
were compelled to desert her and come
ashore.
The surveyors found that the water In the
engne-room tank mad leaked into the
bilges and caused the ship to lose her bal
ance. They recommended that No. l tank
be filed after the deck-load shall have
been taken off, and believe the ship Will
then right herself. The remarkable acct

Flour Goes Up.

Tho raise in the price OF wheat has also
raised the price of flour.
Wheat sold in Richmond Saturday as
high as lightweight cents The market
was not quite SO active yesterday, but 1t is
the general opinion that wheat will soon
reach dollar.
The rise is due to two causes. First. the
Western crop is unusually short; and
secondly, the wars now in progress and the
prospect of prolonged fighting in China,
make bread-stuffs dearer than they have
been in years.
A good deal of money has been invested
in wheat bought on the margin. and sew
eral Richmonders are said to nave MADE
money out of the deals. Most of those
who have invested are holding on 70 their
bargains. believing that wheat will sell
at a dollar early in July.
