DECLINE

CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-Substantial
declines in the wholesale prices
Of fresh pork cuts and OF dressed
lamb were features Of the meat
trade during the month ending
today, according to a review Of
the live stock and meat situation
issued by the Institute Of Ameri-
can Meat Packers.
Lamb prices. which have been
declining sharply during the last
few days, are now from 26 to 40
per cent lower than they were
at the beginning Of September,
the declines varying according to
grade and quality, and fresh pork
loinS are wholesaling from 20 to
80 per cent lower than they were
at the beginning Of the month.
Other fresh pork cuts show sim
liar declines. The prices of cured
pork products remained fairly
steady. There was a good de-
mand for bacon, and fair de-
mand for smoked hams.
Receipts Of sheep and lambs
during September we're consider
ably heavier than during the pre-.
vious month. The quantities Of
fered for sale at the principal i've
stock markets of the United States
during the month were the heAv.
lest on record for any one month.
Prices during, the last week were
lower than at any time for the
past is years. /

THE GROUNDING

Now Grounding day will soon be
here, the great occasion of the year.
when weather is foretold, when we NAV
know, without a doubt, what climate
will be handed out, the balmy or the
cold. The grounding is the only beast
that looketh west, that Iooketh east,
with keen prophetic gaze, and tells us
what we may expect, and his predc-
lions are correct, in fifty-seven ways
The horse, he is a noble brute, or was
ere cars began to toot, he's solid as a
rock; but he's a lemon as a seer. he
cannot tell, till they appear, what
tempeStS are in stock. The COW indeed
has many charms; we see her on
thousand farms, consuming corn and
hay, and she provides us with the milk
that surely Is as fine as silk, and butter
too, and whey. But If you ask her,
where she goes, Excuse me- COW, do
you suppose the Winters nearly .sped?"
she'll wag her tail time or two; she
doesn't know as much as you, she
cannot look ahead. The rooster has a
tenor voice with which to make the
world rejoice, you hear his morning
call; he has high and stately stride
his bearing is so full of pride you'd
think he knows it all. And yet for all
his mien sublime his comb is frozen
half the time, he has no weather lore;
no prophesies does he express, he can
not make a decent guess what billiards.
are in store. The groundhog stands
aloof, alone, among all animals now
known, he has a crystal ball: he comes
out from his humble booth, inspired,
on February two-th. and tells what
viii befall. WALT MASON.

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 80, 1S61.-President Buchan-
an today sent a message to Congress
stating that he has signed the bill for
the admission of Kansas as State.
Representative Martin F. Conway, the
first member of Congress from the new
State, then qualified and at once took
his seat in the House.
With the admission of Kansas to
statehood, that bone of contention
which for so long split political parties
and caused bloody conflicts on the
Western plains, at last has been put
away.
Workmen under the direction of Mr..
j. G. Naylor are engaged tonight in
erecting the stables, etc, necessary for
the horses of the light artillery expected
to arrive here tomorrow for the cere-
monies of Mr.. Lincoln's Inauguration
March 4. The men are to be furnished
quarters in the City Hall.
The stables will be temporary struc-
lures. They are being placed on the
northwest portion Of the City Hall lot
and will extend about 200 feet. Before
beginning the actual work of erection
laborerS had to clean away the snow
and ice that covered the ground.
Mr.. Naylor has employed six men on
this job, but all Swampoodle seemed de-
SirouS of going to work on 1t, turning
out a crowd so numerous that Mr.. Nay
lor found himself surrounded by men
who insisted that they be employed.
They created so much confusion that
Capt. Goddard was sent for. He could
not be found at once. and Justice Dom
was called upon and he started Detec-
tiveS Allen and Busher and Officer
Westerfield to the scene.
When the detectives arrived on the
ground they undertook to restore order.
Meantime Capt. Goddard got there, and
before long an end was made to the
confusion. Mr.. Naylor chose the men
he wanted and Detective Busher en-
rolled their names. The others retired
very much disappointed
