Inhabitants, and with all those who
had been dear to him, but who
through the years mutations had
fallen asleep. Moreover, he kept
abreast Of all the great world 3
events. 80 far AZ daily papers and
magazines could inform him. Out
of them In the calm around him, he
had evolved shrewd ideas of all the
noted actors on the worlds political
stage: he estimated their greatness
and littleness and drew exact dis
tinctions between them. His life
WAS as placid as the flow of a river
that has little fall and no obstruc.
tions in Its banks. He had known
all the bright men among the early
Argonauts; tho memories of some of
them he held lovingly In his heart,
but his life had passed beyond them

without q regret for the past and
unruiiied by any appr rehension for

So We suspect the even stream Of

That must be our "Jim" Gillis,
for there never could have been but
one Of his kind. When this writer

But all that place was dedicated to

from either hand. and not ten inches
from his face, rat. uncOncernedly, a

sonRsters of the forest Awoke and
began their morning praise service.
then this 'Jim" Gillis, who had
been stI hiding In silence over the
trail, also seemed To awake. and he
answered every call Of the forest In
quaint, shrewd words which revealed
that he not only knew each sonRster

BUSINESS SLACK.
But Little Disposition to Pur chase
 Shown at Manchester.

Manchester. April 1O.-Since the holi- days business in the cloth market has been exceedingly slack. During the past week there was apparently not the slightest disposition to purchase anything at the prevailing value beyond absolute necessities, especially medium and better qualities.
 While some observers declare that the position of cotton is being undermined by reductions in consumption, which are con- siderable, few believe in lower prices
 The India cloth market was confined to the cheaper description, the offers for which were frequently found impractible The China trade was limited to occasion al trades in finishing cloths. Notwith. standing the extensive curtailment of the output, the prospects are most discour- aging.
 Yarns had a moderate inquiry and there were some fair transactions in American cotton cloths. The uncertainty of the po- sition of cotton with the daily fiuctua- tions hindered negotiations.

 Anderson and Duncan escaped from the penitentiary some time ago and were re- gently captured after a desperate fight at Chillicothe, o. On being returned to the penitentiary, Anderson accused former guard in having aided in their escape. Since that time Duncan has expressed anil mostly toward Anderson.

Duffy's home run in tae third inning. with the bases full, was a fine drive over the left field fence.
