The past week has seen a more lib
eral supply of garden truck and early
vegetables delivered to local commits

in consequence there has been a rapid
decline in the wholesale quotations of
several varieties of vegetables, AS
paragus, for which there has been a
keen outside demand this season, mas
declined to IS cents for a large box,
and there has been large shipments
made by every local house. Bunch
turnips are beginning to come in, ana
gooseberries are promised by growers
by the middle of next week.
The crop of lettuce is improving with
warm weather and is now in excellent
shipping condition. the wholesale
price is IS cents per half crate. Ra-
dishes continue in good demand AMI
are almost entirely free from worms
this year. Rhubarb and green onions
have declined in price, the former
wholesaling at 60 cents per half crate
and onions at 80 cents per nalf crate.
Parsley, is still scarce, wholesaling at
60 cents for a four-inch box.

M'GAHAN AND SCOBELEFF.
The Newspaper Mans Picture of the
Great Russian General.

The Newspaper Mans Picture of the
Great Russian General.
McGahan was the correspondent who
first described to Europe the Bulga-
rian atrocities. What brilliant crea-
ture he was, with his steel blue eyes,
his face as delicately chiseled as
though it were Of marble, his 1.-THE,
light frame and that suggestion of alb
solute courage, iron resolve, under
meath the almost feminine tininess of
the features. He was one Of the in
Inmates of Scobeleff-indeed, the men
were so attached to each other that
Scobeleff nearly always insisted that
McGahan should share his tent with
him, and McGahan was in the tent of
Scobeleff the night after the disas-
trous assault on Plevna. Scobelef
was, said McGahan, wonderful pic
ture Of the horrors and terrors Of war.
His face was black with powder, his
uniform was in rags, and his sword
was twisted like corkscrew. 1t Is
evident from this description that SEQ
belief took part with his own hand in
some of the work Of the day. There
was a sequel, by the way, to this pic
ture. I am not quite sure whether
McGahan published it, but he told 1t
to me. Scobeleff was always dandy.
Even in leading a charge he was dress
ed with dandical precision. In the
middle Of the night McGahan was
woke up, and he saw Scobeleff dress
ing himself with great care, putting
on new uniform and even pertaining
his hair and clothes. And then came
another Transformation. ScObeleff, his
elaborate toilet finished, sat down on
his bed and burst into shower or
tears and a tempest of sobs, thinking
over all his poor men who had been so
vainly sacrificed in the attempt to gain
the fortress.-London M. A. P.

SHAM ARMOR.
Story of a once Famous Vessel IL,
the Russian Navy.


the Russian Navy.
Among the anecdotes told by Colonel
F. A. Wellesley in his book, with the
Russians In Feace and War;" is one
concerning a once famous vessel of the
Russian navy. When the ironclad
Peter the Great, from which so much
was expected, was in course Of con-
struction the deputy acting minister
Of marine, on being suddenly asked by
the car what progress the ship in
question was making, lost his head
and replied that she would be ready
for sea in three weeks. 1.-THE emperor
expressed great satisfaction at the
news and said that he would shortly
inspect the vessel at Cronstadt. 1t so
happened, however, that, far from
being ready for sea, the ship was still
In dock and that her armor plates,
which were being rolled in England,
had not even been delivered. In view
Of the emperor's threatened visit all
useful work on board the ship was
stopped, and hundreds of men were
set to work night and day at the cree
ton of cabins, the covering Of the ship
with sham armor, the erection Of
wooden turrets and the like
when the Duke of Edinburgh came
to Russia l told his royal highness this
story" continues Colonel Wellesley,
(which he was most reluctant to be-
lieve. l told the duke, however, that
he would soon have an opportunity Of
judging for himself at a naval review,
and predicted that, as he was a naval
officer and therefore sure to detect
anything wrong some excuse would be
made to prevent his going on board
that particular ship. The duke eX-
pressed to a Russian naval officer his
desire to visit that ship, but objec-
tons were raised to his doing so.
''Then the emperor, noticing that
something was wrong, ordered boat
to be lowered Immediately to take his
royal highness on board. After the re-
view the duke told me that l was
wrong about the turrets being made
Of wood, as he had placed his hand
on one of them, and it was made Of
canvas and yielded to the pressure Of
his fingers"
