CHICAGO. | Special Teleirrani to the Globe.] Chicago, Oct. 13.—Everything was weak to day. and all speculative markets on 'change were lower. Flour continues quiet, and little has been done for the week, wiih a fair call and a steady quota tion for tho good to line family and bakers' branti?, but shippers and particu larly exporters were having light buying orders, and wero buying little besides th9 lower grades to only fair bakers' stock and and were Hading little of these qualities to work from.

Tke poorer samples wero still slow, and though all were worked off still a low range had to be accepted to tempt bnyers tegtaka their. In provisions there was little change. Trading in tno aggregate w.'.s light, and the faeling was easy during the greater part cf the session.

[Special Telegram to the Globe.] New Yobk, Oct. 13.—Tha bears in Wall street are now meeting with considerable resistance on the stock exchange. This morning, notwithstanding the continued bear talk, the market opened with buying orders in almost every stock. There were a few exceptions, such as Texas Pacific and Denver, v.'hioh were noticeably weak, the latter on report of an issue of $50,000 additional stock. Lake Shore was re lieved from yesterday'3 pressure and re ceded sharply. After the first few minutes Oregon wa3 let down to 47 14, «\nd then came a general improvement throughout the Ii3t, the principal tran?;v::iio£s being in Share, Texas Pacific, Oregon <fc Denver. At 11 o'clock Michigan Central showed at an advance of \j'c frcm la=t night's closing, and the market was stronger and more active. The bank statement came out showing on increase in the reserve of §75.025. For the next two hours tha advance was quite gen era!, although the activity was only inter mittent, dullness taking.up a great part of the day. At half past 2 o'clock the Wooris ehoffer brokers were large sellers of Lake Shore, and Oregon p^ain weakening it demoralized the whole market. During the last half hoar the mar ket was very dull and closed without special features. Oregon closed at 47, the lowest figure it has yet! reached. Indians, Blocnington & Western first week's earnings increased §4,700. The board statement is favorable and no apprehensions of tight mouey this fall from ordinary causes need be felt. Nego tiations are pending for the control of the West Shore by the Grand Tiunk. It Is a fact that Mr. Adams of Winslo^r, Lanior & Co.. went to Europe with the president of the Grand Trunk company. It transpirad that the large purchases of West Shore bands were for foreign account. CASUALTIES. A CJIICAOO AVVlKSCi: SAVED JTRODI -i FIREASIC.

Uhiostottn, Pa., Oct. 13.—At 11 a. m., es «a train on the Southwest road was ap proaching Lament station it was run iiito by an engine with terrible effect. The regular engineer was not on duty on the ioi-3 engine and his placo was taken by a young man who Bcems to have huoTrn j nettling about the business an w?.g run- | nin£ at a rapid rate towards the crossir-R wLeu h9 saw a collision was inevitable an- i less I e checked up. Instead of staying at his post and stopping tha engine, as pas sengers fay he ecuM iiKve done, he revers ed the brakes and leaped off, letting the engine go crashing broadside into the middle of the passenger train. There wcro eighteen person? in the car, and tho scene was frightful, Men, women and children wire knocked out of their seat3 in every direction, and few escaped beicg mangled, bruised or scalded. The car took tire in stantlj and was wrapped in fl%me3 almost btfore tho passengers could be gotten out. It was entirely consumed. Most of the passengers were bespattered with blood and Eoat, tut, miraculous as it may seem, no one was killed. The worst injuries were sustained by Mrs. Kbox and | two lit tle children, of Cornellsville. She is badly braised, cut and scalded, bat the extent of her injuries is not yet known, ©no of her children had a leg broken and both were scalded about the face. J. K. Ritenour and wife were bruised and burned, but their children es caped serious injuries. James Lepper, of Pittsburg, had his shoulder hurt. Mr. and Mrs. West, of Brownsville, were bruised and cut. J. L. Woods, of Union town, was cut on the head and hand. About a dozen others were slightly injured. The marvel is that nearly all the passengers in the middle car were cot killed. State Treasurer Bailey was in the front car and escaped unhurt. The cause of the acci dent is not satisfactorily explained. FIEES.

GEKAT DISASXEB AVEETED. Chicago, Oct. 13.The issurance patrol was summoned to llaverlj's theatre at 2:15 this afternoon owing to a small blaze in one of the offices fronting on Dearborn street, and the fact that* performance was in progress, with a large house present, occasioned some excitement on the street which did not extend to those in the thea tre.

[Gcllert in The Leisure Hour.] The venerable Bede. with age grown blind, Still went abroad to preach the new evan gel. From town to town, village to village, jour neyed The saintly elder, with a lad for guivle, And preached tbe word with youthful zeal and fervor; And once the lad led him along a vale, All scattered o'er with mighty mos^-grown Lj-jklcrs. More thoughtless than malicious quoth the urchin, "Here, reverend father, many men have COU'.P, And all the multitude await thy sermon." The blind old man stood upright at his speech, And spake his text—explained it—thenca digressed, Exhorted, warned, reproved, and corn forfed, So earnestly that tears of love and joy Ran down his cheeks, and ou his long gray beard, TheD, as was meet, bo ended wiih "Our Father, T! ine is the kingdom. Thine the power, and Thine : >ry is fcrevcr %nd forever." TLl-u came a thousand, thousand answering voices— "Yea, reverend father, amen and amen." errified, the boy fell down repentant, Confessing Vu the saint his ill behavior. "Son," said t'ac holy man, "didst thou rearl never That stones thviiLSclves shall cry if men be it! 1'lay thou no more, my son, with things divine. God's word is powerful, and cuts more sharp Than any two-edged sword. And if it be That toward the Lord is stony-heaited, A human heart shall wake in ttencs, and witness. 11 The Widow Lockery. Aagelino Teal. I made her acquaintance at an old settlers reunion. The club, which held its yearly meetings at Gershi m, was composed of the surviving pioneers of 1839. Ail persons who, cither as adults or children, had settled in the district covered by the organization pre vious to or within that year were entitled to enrollment. I was spending the summer with a friend who called herself an old settler by mar riage. ; Her husband, CcL Hugh Hastings, ha I come into the wilds with his parents at the age of 2 years, and so had grown up with the country in a literal sense. They lived at Barhan station, on the line of the one rail road. which versed the county. Gershom, the county-sent, was six miles distant. It was arranged on the morning of the re union that my friend Harian and I should drive over early with the children and spend the entire day. The colonel kept a saddle horse, and would follow in the afternoon. We started in the dew, yet when we reached Gershom. the village was all astir. At 10 o'clock the beautiful picnic grounds on the banks of Shokobc-o ] ike were swarming with the population of many townships. Tii3 old settlers proper were not a numerous band, but their assemblies had come to bo galada with the entire community. Passing among the groups gathered here and there, one caught bits of char acteristic talk. A group of men wero discussing ■■ heat prospects. They seemed to belong to " that class in whom the uncertainty of the farmer's hope had bred a condition of chronic foreboding. One said the wheat was too strong, and would all be •'lodged"' before harvest. An other thought tjie recent heavy rains would produce "rust in the stalk." A third pre dicted a hot, dry time, that would cause it xo ';.3re at tbe root." -How does your wheat look. Dare? 1' The question was asked of a tall, stoop should fellow, who had been listening to the res and saying nothing. "Denied '£ I know," was the reply. "I sowed it in good time and good style last fall, and I hain't looked at ii since. Looliin' does no good, nor croakin,' nuther." The president of the club then asked how many in the assembly had any personal re collection of a two»:ays' hunt for a lost child in the autumn of '41. "Answer Sunday school fashion," said he, and about half dozeD hands went up. "Is the Widow Lockery here.'" he next in quired. "I reckon she is," came the answer in a woman's voice from somewhere in the crowd. "Mrs. Lockery," continued tho president, "found tho lost child, and if she will tell us nil about it, I. for one, will be much pleased. I have a vague impression of the terror which the hunt produced and the excitement it aroused in my childish mind; but I do not remember that I ever heard the occurrence fuJJy described by any one who took part in the search." He glanced again in the direction whence came that prompt response, and sat down. A tall, straight woman rose from her seat, walked slowly down the aisle between the rude benches, and took a position facing tho people. She seemed in no hurry to begin her story, but deliberately took off her starched bonnet and laid it on the grass be side her. She was the most remarkable per ; sonage I had seen that day. Though ! fully TO years old, she was erect as i an Indian, and gave one the impression of • great physical power. Her iron-gray hair ! grew low over her forehead,and was gathered I into a great, rough-looking knot at the back : of her head, and secured in its place by a i brass comb. Her compelxion was swarthy, j and her dark eyes were shaded by darker ! brows which almost met above her prominent ! aquiline nose. Her lips closed firmly, and ; her whole face had an expression of unspeak ; able sadness. "Friends and neighbors," she began; and I all at once I found myself smiling, as I ob | served many others doing; Never before did ■ human countenance so quickly transform its expression. The dark eyes twinkled, the ! corners of the mouth gave a humorous curl, ' the lips parting in speech revealed a double ' row of perfect teeth, gleaming with drollery, ! and the whole changed physiognomy was i laughter-provoking. I ''Friends and neighbors: Seein' as how Mr. I Evans has sort ■/ give out that I'm the kero i wine o' this tale o' terror, maybe it would • sound hotter for some one else to tell it." So i much by way of preface. ' ' "It was Benjamin Nyfer's child that was I lost. Ben started one mornin' in October to I get some grindin' done. There was no mill | nearer than the one on Taylor's fork, twelve I miles off, and the way roads was then it would I take him away 'long into tha night to i get homo. That little boy o' his'n, just 5 | year old, took a notion to go 'long, but his pa j wouldn't let him. He whipped the poor lit : tie fellow in the mornin' for cryin' to go: but i when he started the child just f ollered the j wagon and bawled to be tcok in. The other ■ young ones told me that; and that precious j mother o" his'n, instead of coaxin' him into the house and fryin' him a dough horse and j twistin' him five or six; yards of tow string ' for drivin'-lines, just went on about her ! work, and paid no tention to him till he was , clean out o' sight. 'Long towards noon i Mary Ann Xyfer, the oldest gal, came over i to my house, lookin' real scairt, and said i Sammy was * lost. He 'd follered his pa a ways in the mornin' and hadn't ccme back. I says right away: '" 'He's all right. Your father"? give in to ; bis yellin' and took him 'long.' "But the gal shook her head, and re , marked: "Father never gives in tonuthin'. He's ! druv him back, and Sammy's lost.' "I went home with her and found Luke j Wilson there. We three families lived purty ! cloast within a mile. Luke thought j just as I did, that 2?yfer had took the boy [ along, but the mother and Mary Ann seemed ' to doubt it. Wilsoji said he'd go down the rond, and strip fit Fell's and Harder"s—may be little Saia had stopped to play. Well he didn't find him, and the good feller hoofed it till he met Nyfer, three or four mitea this side the Fork. There was no Sammy with him. He .«aid the child had turned back at the big shingle-tree stump, about a mile from home. "When Ben druv up to his house there was a quite a company of the neigh bors there waitin' to see if ho had the boy. A sarch was started that night with lanterns and kep' up till mornin1. Word was sent fur and near, and before noon the next day three townships were en the hunt Horns was blowed, bells rung, and the poor baby's name called in hundreds of voices. The woods and swamps was scoured, and even- brush heap ard holler log peeked into. "The sarch lasted another night and an other day, till in the afternoon some begun to give out, myself among the number. I went home and tbrowed myself onto my bed with my clothes on, and slept as Td never slept before. About 10 o'clock that evenin' I woke up sudden, just as wide awake as I am this min ute. My mind seemed encommon clear and quick. 'That child can't bo iur. away", I thought. He's been with the rest to the huckleberry swamp this summer. The trail" feadin 1 to the swamp leaves the main roa& not fur fijni the shingle-tree stump. I'd of ten heard that lost children would never an swer when called, but at night, when every thing was quiet, they'd cry ani make a noise. It seemed as though tho hull kentry had be?n well sarched, but I still believed ha wns sticldn' whores in that huckleberry marsh. .-.V-,.^:^ "Now, I don't want anybody to think I was a herowice, for I wasn't. I think I felt mere';: common sorry for Rachel Nyfer, be cause I'd had a dislike to her for quite a spell. It grbwed at of an egg trade. I wanted a s ttin' of goose-eggs; she kid some, and said she'd let me have a dozen for two dozen hens' eggs. Well, we traded, and I B'posed it was all right, till one day she come over and said she thought she orter have about another half-dozen eggs; for she'd opened a goose-egg shell and then broke two hens' eggs into it, and it wasn't quite full. 'Twould have held easy half another egg! I counted out six eggs, and she lugged era home; then I toll Miss Luke Wilson and one or two other women that I was purty thick with, and we made no end of fun about it whenever we got together. "I didn't like tho general make-up of the woman. She had five purtv children, but she didn't seem to take no kind o' comfort with 'em, just pushed 'em one side and druv ahead with her work. She and iNyfer both seemed to think all the duty they owed their young ones was to make 'em mind from the word go, and dig away li!:? all possess, to make property for 'em. But I was there that cvenin' when Ben came home- without the boy, and I saw 'em stand and look in each j others faces, like tha end of the world had ( come, and neither one could help tho ether. : Then she went about puttin' a bit of sapper I onto the table; but when she set out Sam's ; little tin plate and mag, all the mother in 1 her broke loose, and she flung herself down, ; shudderin' and sobbin 1 in a Way I'll, never forgit, Weli, seein' as liorr I'd kinder mis judged the creetur, for ha via' no heart, I felt pushed to make one more try for that poor lost kid o' hern; so I jumped right up and i said out loud: " 'With the Lord's help, I'll find him yet!' ■ "I lit my lantern and shaded it so it let I just a little light down onto the ground. I Then I went over tho road, just as I guessed I the boy had dene, turnin' off on the trail at ! the'big red oak stum and took right down j to the .- ■•■ amp. There I stopped and listened, I still as death. Sure as there's mercy for us I ail above, I heard him almost right away. "'Oh, ma!' Such a pitiful call! Then ho cried aud whimpered, very weak, like his breath was 'most gone, end his heirrt 'moot ' broke. I followed that sound and found • him easy. He was mired to his arm-pits in ' mud and water. I couldn't at first see how ; I was to get to him. There was j the body of a big walnut tree lyin' Lack on the hard ground, and the bark was loose. I pulled it off in slabs and throwed i 'em onto the hummocks, and so bridged my ! way out to that little yaller head. He strug ! gljHl wild v.-hen I first pulled him out; then ; gave up in a kind of faint I carried him I home in a hurry. There was still a good many people at Nyfer's. They .made some milk warm and put a taste of liquor in it, and forced a few drops down his throat, as you've done to a chilled lamb on a winter's I mornin'. He was bathed and rubbed and I wrapped in soft-flannin and laid in the baby's warm nest afore the fire. Nyfer and his wife stood lookin down at him. " 'Raich, 1 said he—and she lookod vrp, her I black eyes a-swimmin' and her face all ; a-tremble. Then he took her in his arms and j held her cloast—'Raich, we hain't loved ono 1 another enough, and wo hain't loved our : children enough. There's that that's better'n I money and land, and tor the rest of our lives : we'll try and keep holt of it.' "And I believe they did. The little boy I had a fever, but he came out all right at last. 1 Miss Nyfer died about five 3'©a:- s after that, and he took the family and went back east. Of course, I wouldn't have told this story ; .iust as I havo if any of 'em had beeu , around."' The people had listened closely, and when Mrs. Lockery put ou lier bonnet and re sumed her seat the hush was so profound that j we could hear, high above our heads, the twittering clamor of a nest of young tana- I gel's, to v.hooi the inother-bird had brought ; a worm. The next to address tha assembly was a noble-looking old man with silver white hair. i It was Mr. Luke -Wilson, or 'Squire Wilson, ; as he was generally called. He bad a lirni, | intellectual head, and when be spoke his lau [ gunge was correct and well chosen. •'Th9 Widow Lockery,' 1 ho began, I "has disclaimed all right to tbe title of heroine. Do not let the verdict | be rendered till I have finished what I am : about to relate. My friend and neighbor . for forty years will, I know, pardon me if I ; for once lift the veil from a passage of her ; experience to which she seldom alludes, and of which many in this audience bavo never heard. Nothing has been told here to-day, : nothing could be told, more strongly illus- I trutive of the courage and endurance of tha r spirit, ut least of the spirit of one brave pioneer. "One winter evening, many year3 ago, a stranger presented himself at the cabin of Thomas aud Rutfa Loctery and begged a eight's lodging. lie was a Canadian, fcely tired cut, and tar from well. Neither Lockery nor his wife had it iu them to turn a sick stranger from their door; so . they gave him supper aud a bed. The next day he was uaable to rise, and before night ■ te broke out with smaii-pox. i. "The following morning when I vrent out to feeii my cattle I happened to look toward Loukery's, ami saw on a sharp rise of ground, about half way between the two , houses, a woman standing and beckoning to ' me. It was rnv neighbor here. I went to . ward her, but while I was some distance away she halted me and told me in a few ' words about the man with the small-pox, and charged me to watcn the road and warn the ■ community. She said she had been in i oculated, and would not take the dis- I ease, but she leareft for her husband and children. That day 1 rode eleven miles to the nearest doctor. His wife cried, and j would not let him go. He read his book* for an hour, while my horse rested, then he niado ; up a package of medicines for me and I started back. I left the medicines and stimu . lants on the scrub oak hill, and Tom came and got them. "As Ruth had feared, ber husband and their two children were taken down. Several out of the nearer families then offered to take the risks and help her nurse her sick, but ■ sue finally refused their assistance. " 'I can get aiong alone,' she would say from her post on the hilL "The Lord gives mo strength for all I have to do, and this~hor ror must not spread.' Everything she needed was furnished promptly and abundantly, and this was all she vould suffer us to do. The stranger had the disease in the mildest form, bat Lockery and tho little boys, Amos and Willy, were hopelessly bad from the first. One morning the poor old woman called to me that both tho children were dead, and told me to Lave two coffins brought to the hill that eve ning at dusk. George Giles and I dug a short, wide grave at a spot on the place which she designated; and that night sho took those co3ins to her cabin, put her chil dren into thorn, and buried them with her own hands! One morning, some throe weeks later, as I went out of my house just at day break, I saw Mrs. Lockery waiting on the hilL She looked changed and bent, and her hair was loose and flying hv the wind. I can see it all now. The sky was such a clear, pale gray, and sho looked so dark and wi!d against it! I ran to my old post, from which I had bailed her daily for weeks. " 'Thomas died at midnight,' she called. 'Make his coffin as light as possible to have it strong enough.' ''Then I shouted back: '' 'Ruth Lockery, you have done enough! Giles and I will come to-day and bury your dead.' At this sho threw up her arms ani uttered an awful cry. "'Don't do it, for the love of God! I'vt gone through all this alone, that no other place need be desolated as mine has been. Don't let it be for nothing. It shall not be for nothing! If man ex* woman dares tc eorao near that awful house, I'll draw my rifle on them!' "The Canadian was by this time well enough to render her some assistance, and together they coffined and buried poor Tom. They drew the body on a stone-sled over the snow, and laid it in the new grave beside the other. The next day we saw a red flame shoot up through the timber, and we knew Ruth had fired her cabin with all the little effects it contained. There wasn't much, to be sure—nothing that she valued after what had gone before. Wo left a pound of sulphur and two suits on the hill by her orders. The stranger got into his fresh garments after Ruth' had smoked them well. Then she cut bis hair short, and rubbed his head with sulphur till she said afterwards, she knew he'd carry the scent into the next world with him. Ko took a. gun and a pouch of provisions and went away, promising sol emnly to enter no human habitation for at least a month. "The weather had turned very mild—It ■was the last of March—and Mrs. Lockery begged us not to ask her in for a little while longer. She built herself a wigwam of poles and bark; wo took her some bedding, and for threo weeks she lived out of doors. Then slio "changed her clothing again and came among us, pure enough, wo thought, to mingle with the angels of Heaven. The people got together and built her another house, and furnished it with everything for hex comfort, She lived alone for years, a brave, cheerful, actively helpful life; then she adopted a friendless babe, whom she reared to womanhood, and who is now well married, and gives to Mrs. Lockery in her old age a child's love and duty. - An industry Which; Supports 3Iaay Dandy Young Hen. Kansas City Star. To do op a bundle properly seems like a . very simple and easy thing to do, yet it is not everyone that can do it properly. Bundle wrapping lias become one or the important features of many large businesses, and boys are especially trained for that work. This part of a heavy business has become an item of considerable expense. Not only have tho salaries of the young men to bo paid, but the paper and time used foots up to a large figure and in this city of high reats, even the space j occupied by the bundle-wrappers* is an item worthy of consideration. In a large retail store the young man who manipulates the paper and twine earnt his money. He must be able to work very rap- I idly and do up his bundles in the strongest and neatest possible manner. To do this, when the goods are laid before him, ho must 1 be able to decide instantly the kind of twine and the size and quality of paper which should be used. IS person, be he gentleman or lady, ■ likes to carry a parcel insecurely tied, or ! awkwardly done up. So much skill is re quired in this line that boys are specially trained for it. When placed in the wrapping ■ department, if they show an adaptability for the business, they are kept there, but only a : small percentage of those who are thus placed on trial are kept there. They may be very smart at other things, but in doing up bun dles they are not a success. There are some lines of goods which are difficult to do up securely and neatly. In a music store in a large eastern city, where forty clerks were employed, there was only one of them who could properly do up a vio lin. Books which are sent by mail or in pa per bundles require a great deal of care in j being done up, in order that the string may not cut the edges or that their corners may not be broken by being tossed about. In grocery stores very little care is used, and i no st}-le whatever is observed. This may be because it is thought that a man who carries home his groceries is not apt to be very par ticular about the manner in which his bun dles are done up. But many an unlucky fel low, whose arms were loaded up with par cels, has sighed to find his sugar leaking out of a paper bag, or his eggs dropping one by j one on the sidewalk. Provision stores also do up their goods carelessly, and one has hard work to carry home a bundle of meat without soiling his fingers and his clothing. . Not exactly under the head of bundle- • wrapping, but nearly akin to it, comes the doing up of newspapers for the mail. Ths , magazines and many large daily and weekly j newspapers use thy best brown paper for this purpose, but most of the smaller publi cations are content to use fragments of news papers, circulars, and the like. A machine i I has beeu invented for folding newspapers, ! bat they have all to be wrapped for the ! mail by hand. Young men who are employed i for this business acquire wonderful profi ciency, and can do up several hundred pa [ pers in an hour. From the foregoing facts it will bo seen tbat bundle-wrapping forms quite an exten sive industry, and in large cities affords em , ployment to a large number of persons. An Exposition iii India.
