 Joseph Rend tells a funny story re- gently narrated to him by Gov. McCor- kle of West Virginia. A colored man was telling a white friend about an other negro who owed him $2 and ab- solutely refused to pay the debt. The creditor dunned and dunned him, but all to no purpose. Finally the creditor went to his white friend. who is a law yer. and poured his tale of woe into his ear

THIS WOMAN IN WHITE.
Her Appearance in the Financial Quarters Calls a Temporary Halt


 Quarters Calls Temporary Halt New York Tribune.
 There was a break In the curb mar ket in Broad Street one day last week Not a break in prices, but a break in the transaction of business. Minutes are weighty there, even though busi- ness be done under the sky for a roof and it is not often that selling and buying are suspended utterly fo.A sven a minute. But they were this day, and the cause was woman.
 Young. tall, fair and inclined to full ness of form, the woman SwunS-SNung is the correct term for her rate and method of progression-into Broad Street out of Exchange place. She wore a shirt waist and skirt in which there was no tint of color: all was pure dazzling white. Her hat, too, was all white. straw and trimmingS- S- as well, and around her throat was d flowing ed not quite to her elbows, hugging her round arm tightly, and were finish ed with a full ruffle of lace.
 Without a pause she cut diagonally across the street looking neither to the right nor the left as she tripped dainti- ly over several damp spots on the asphalt. As she passed "the crowd" several in it turned and said some th|7a to each other. In an instant NJery man Gf them had turned from business and was watching the woman as she went carefully, or carelessy. on her way. Nor did business beRin again until she had turned into Wall Street. in the direction of the ferry.
 Not a word was srokcn Unt'i the w7- man was out of tight, and then there fh ne tCI,- h offering again began. Put one man WHO stood on the edge Of the crowd said, and his expression was approved by all who heard if:
 That's thN most beautiful thing I've eve- seen in War Street. but she walks with the lor0 of 2 red Indian.''
 And he was light. for her facn and form were as marvelously heoutiful as her gait was wonderful and ungainly

 Slightly moro than the average warmth was received with about an average amount of sunshine, while droughty conditions continue over the greater portion of the northern half of the State. scattered showers occurred in extreme northern counties. and showers were more general over the southern half of the State; they were mostly light, however. and a general rain is needed for late corn and minor field crops, and would also benefit cot ton. Cotton is clean, growing rapidly. and fruiting well. though there are still 6 few scattered complaints of damage by black root or root rot Several reports of rust and shedding, and a few reports of vermin; bolls are form ing generally. and. while 1t is from two to four weeks late. cotton Is in gener- Is maturing, but continues inferior and will hardly make more than half an average yield; late corn is deteriorat- ing in central and northern counties for lack of moisture. but everywhere 1t Is in satisfactory condition; pulling of early fodder is progressing slowly: sugar cane, sorghum. peanuts, field peas and sweet potatoes are holding up fairly we'll, but would be benefited by copious rains; melons and cantaloupes contiGue to yield lightly; peaches are failing rapidly; apples will make a light yield pears will be less than the average. but grapes are rtpening and making a satisfactory yield; some hay of good quality is being saved; market gardens are generally poor and back ward. and vegetables are very scarce: turnips. are being sown in few lo- calities.
