1 saw a man act so queerly in front of
a Canal street saloon that I followed
him in when he finally entered, think
ing him a bit off in the top story. He
looked around for a few seconds, and
was about to sit down in a corner, when
a bartender came out and took him by
the arm and led him to the door and
gave him a kick and said:
"You can't play that on us again, old
fellow! Here you go. and if you ever
come in here again I'll break you in
two!"
1 followed the man down street and
asked for an explanation, and, without
any display of indignation, he said:
"Why, the chap was on to me."
"He spoke about your playing him."
"Yes. I was in there the other day.

Where a Joke Proved Better Than
a Gun.
Youth's Companion.
For getting a man out of a hard place
■ joke is sometimes better than a gun.
A Yankee drummer boy was out on a
little foraging expedition one evening
during the late civil war all by him
self, and had scaled a bristline; picket
fence to get at a tree full of tempting,
rosy apples. He had filled Ins haver
sack and his pockets when he was sud
denly startled by a stentorian voice:
**Drop them apples, boy, and git, er yer
a dead Yank."
Crashing through the tall weeds came
the owner of the apples, ride in hand.
The boy ran for dear fife, but clung to
Us many of the apples as he could.
On reaching the fence, he grasped a
post and tried to climb over, but the
pickets seemed to have gained a foot in
height and many degrees in sharpness
since he entered the orchard, and as he
scrambled over one of them managed to
idsert itself between the small of his
back and his leather belt in such a way
as to hold him suspended, at the mercy
of his oncomiug foe.
"Git, I tell ye: Git, er I'll shoot:"
roared the Confederate.
The boy looked over his shoulder, and
despite the uj>ly rifle leveled at his
bead, called out, good-humoredly, "Oh,
see here, now, don't shoot! Don't you
see I'm on picket and can't leave my
post?"
The man lowered his gun, a broad
smile came over his face, and he
answered, "All right, sonny, stick to
your Dost."
Then he turned and went away in
the direction whence he had come,
leaviuc the Yankee boy to ?et out of
his predicament as best he could, which
he finally did by cutting his belt with

erected within that time, cost

the like of which in business blocks are
not to be found in any city outside of
America. Leaving New York early in
the morning, we soon lost sight of her
great clocks, crowded with shipping
from all parts of the world: gradually
her monuments, domes and Bpirea faded
from our view. leaving us for the next
seven days nothing to gaze upon but
one vast exponse of water, varied only
two or three times by the sight of a dis
tant vessel, ami twice by icebergs, one
of them being of huge dimensions, dis
tant only a tew miles, the very picture
of • loneliness and desolation, as It
drifted slowly away from its north
ern icy solitudes. The weather during
our voyage was exceptionally pleasant
neither myself nor wife being at any
time the least sea-sick. The fare and
service on the French line on which we
sailed are excellent: wine served free
and drunk instead of water, but I should
say in much larger quantities. For a
Frenchman I should consider this an
ideal line, but for an American who
prefers to hear his own language
spoken, the White Star or Inman line
is much preferable. On Sunday, Mist,
just eight days out, we
Landed at Havre
one hour too Lite to catch the tide: con
sequently everything had to be trans
ferred on lighters, taking about four
hours. We were heartily glad to be
once more on land, although everything
seemed very strange to us. and we could
not understand an\ one nor make our
selves understood, but we were finally
settled and securely locked up in
one of their railway carriages, and only
permitted to get out once, until we
reached Paris. The scenery along the
route, although not grand, was very
beautiful; the country very old, many
of the towns dating back five to seven
hundred yeaas and more. After reach
ing Rouen we followed the river Seine
all of the way to Paris, eighty-one miles.
The valley is extremely beautiful,
dotted thickly with towns so close to
each other that you hardly leave one
before entering another, all of them
having something ancient and interest
ing to the traveler, and some of them
having Immense and grand cathedrals
(or palaces gone into decay i, built at
enormous expense, and dating back six
and seven hundred years. The coun
try is densely populated, very highly
cultivated, but seems to yield rather a
poor return for the amount of
labor bestowed upon It. 1 did
not see a single good field
of wheat on the route. It was very poor,
and if a fair criterion of the whole of
France they will need plenty of our
grain. The buildings everywhere in
towns and country are of brick or stone
mostly stone, plain and old-fashioned.,
1 have not yet seen a building since en
tering France that is built of wood.
Their main highways everywhere are
models, all macadamized smooth as a
floor, and kept up in perfect repair. But
in their railroads and everything per
taining to them (except roadbeds, which
are very solid), they are far behind us,
but not in charges. 1 think our granger
friends that kick so hard and persistently
about American railroads ought to
Consider Tliensselvos Fortunate
that they live in America. 1 do not be
lieve there is any country in the world
that furnishes as good and as cheap
railroad accommodations as the United
States. Here we are locked in, eight In
a compartment (if filled), four facing
backwards and four torwards, to ride ail
day that way, with no conveniences of
any kind, allowing you to get out every
75 to 100 miles, perhaps. The fares will
average four cents first-class and three
cents second-class, and the first-class
cars are very ordinary in finish. Sleep
ing cars, which are used on only a few
of the roads, do not begiu to compare
with ours in luxuriousness or conven
ience, but the rates are more than
double or treble: for distance from
Nice to Paris, twenty hours' ride, the
price is $15 for a single berth. Freights,
lam told, are also high. Baggage can
not be cheeked as with us, but the
anxious traveler must be on hand at
every change to pick it out in person.
The cost ol living at hotels and travel
ing expenses generally is, I think, fully
as high as with us. Amusements in
Paris wlH.averase higher and not aver
age as good, excepting opera, as with
us. Neither do their theaters, opera
house, etc., average as good as with us
in finish and convenience, excepting, of
course, the Grand opera house, which
is the finest in the world, and cost. In
cluding ground, $10,000,000. Their lead
ing theaters receive annual sub
sidies from the government. The-
Grand receives *160,0U0; Theatre Fran

know of here, and would make a New

the park contains 2,250 acres,

is also veiy large. Nature has been

her many art galleries, museums, etc.,

with the accumulations of ages, with
the finest paintings and statuary of

class it has special charms, as Parisians

most every improvement and every
thing done'in or about the city, public
or private, is with a view largely to
pleasure, business being of second
ary importance. I am a great wor
shiper and admirer of things ancient—
the more ancient, the more devotion
and admiration. In visiting Philadel
phia and other Eastern cities I have
lingered often and long, gazing with a
sort of devotion upon their revolution
ary and other relies, contemplating in
my mind something of their probable
history, aud of the many, many years
since they were owned and used by the
noted personages of that day; but now
they appear to me as relics, in point of
time as mere infants. After being here,

THE SLY GRANGER.
He Wanted to Get Home Without
Walking There.
Detroit Free Press.
•Tickets, please," said the conductor
of a train on a line running east out of
Detroit, as he entered the car.
There was a general response in the
shaDe of pasteboard until he came to a
farmer who was very earnestly looking
out ot the window.
"Tickets, please," said the conductor.
The man paid no attention.
"I'll take your ticket, if you please."
The man looked up at him. "Han't
got any," he answered slowly.
"Well, the money then. Where are
you going?"
"Han't got any money."
"Well, then, what are you on here for?
If I don't get either money or ticket I
must put you off the train."
"You wouldn't stop an express train
just to put one man off; now. would
you?''
"Wouldn't I? You'll soon see whether
I will or not. Now 1 want your ticket
or the cash without any more fuss."
"Nary one.'"
The. conductor paused for a moment
or two. and then called the brakeman.
"Now. are you going to get off with
out a fuss, or will we have to throw you
off?"
The man sighod and said he would go
off quietly. When they got out on the
platform and the conductor had his
hand on the bejl-rope the passenger cast
his eye over the flying landscape and
said:
U'Aain't there no way to fix this up?"
Uncertainly ! Ticket or money."
QAfter another look the man shook his
head. "Let her go, captain."
The conductor pulled the rope. The
airbrakes scrunched and the train came
to a stop. The man stepped off, and
then handing the conductor a bit ot
pasteboard said:
"I don't cheat no railroad company,
captain. Here ye are."
"Why in thunder didn't you give me
this before? You can ride five miles
further on this ticket. Step aboard
lively, now."
"Never mind, captain. I would have
to walk five miles back >f I did. 1 live

Chicago, Aug. 2?.— The bears in wheat and
corn had their innings to-day. Those iv
wheat made a dash at the market at the
opening and wen encouraged by the news
which came to hand iv the course of the ses
sion to follow it up with a succession of
heavy rushes, and prices closed 2%c lower
than they did yesterday. The corn sellers
were almost as successful in their operations,
knocking 2%c off the previous day's values.
Oats and provisions were also weak, but in a
minor degree.
Sensational reports telling of ice in the
wheat fields of North Dakota, published
this morning, were not reflected in the prices
at the opening, private advices and the sig
nal service map failing to confirm them.
On the other hand, instead of a general
buying movement, tbeie was a pro
nounced tendency to 'the selling side at
the start.December opened at £l'.o4Vb to 1.03%,
with many sales at about the same time as
low as fl.OSV*. As this was not far rom the
price of puts for to-morrow, some buying lor
a reaction steadied the market and a recov
ery to around $1.0334 took place in the course
of'the first fifteen minutes trading. This im
provement was bat of short duration, and
the market during the next two hours suf
fered a series of declines with little reaction
till noon, the price working off in that time
In a series of spasmodic slumps to 31.01V2.
In addition to the absence of damaging
frost, the foreign markets were all lower on
improving weather in England and on the
continent. One dispatch from Paris received
here early In the session Bald wheat was 1
franc lower. Weather favorable for the
crops and English cables were unanimous iv
quoting the markets there weaker at lower
prices. The receipts in the North
west were likewise heavier find New
York did not report the usual activ
ity in the purchases for foreign shipment.
The only bullish item"in the forenoon's news
was the clearances from Atlantic ports,
which from New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore aggregated over 600,000 bushels of
wheat.
There was a further break in prices shortly
after 12 o'clock, §1.0H& being reached, then a
reduction took place. One New York mes
sage received fbout that time said: "The
wheat markets of the world are in a panicky
condition;" and. although it was quite out
of line with the closing official cables, it led
to some selling. New York was a persistent
seller throughout the session. The close was
31.01%.
The dealings in corn were heavy, with the
sellers largely prevailing in their efforts and
their influence upon prices. Watte. Schwartz,
Dupee. William Young and S. V. White & Co.
were heavy sellers, and were supposed to
represent the action of the New York houses
who are credited with being so heavily long
in this market. The frost predicted for lan
night, according to the signal service bu
reau, limited its appearance to a' narrow belt
around Sioux City, Jo., and a spot or two in
Northern Wisconsin. As frost had been de
pended upon by the bulls to put prices up.
its non-appearance acted in the opposite di
rection, and prices took a tumble immediate
ly npou the opening of the market. Octo
ber, which closed yesterday at 50% c,
opened at B^U&SBfkO. After selling to
a ' moderate extent •at SS^4C it
recovered tos'.)%c,blit instantly became weak
and continued to go -from that to weaker,
and when wheat made its biggest break it
was at its weakest, dropping to 56% c. There
was a recovery on covering by shorts near
the close at 57% c. Oats sympathized strongly
with wheat and corn, Irvvin Green and Cos
ter Martin offered September freely, but
found few buyers, and the market declined
HgC from the opening prices, which were
the highest of the day. Favorable weather
for marketing was bear influence. The pro
vision market opened firm, steady to firm, on
the report of the good demand for hogs, but
the weakness occurred in wheat and; coin
had a depressing influence, and soon dis
pelled any hope the longs may have enter
tained of higher prices. The opening prices
were the highest of the day ana the closing
quotations mnrk the lowest DOint and wound
up with a decline of 17V2 to 20 cents in pork,
5 cents in lard and ribs.

Special to the Globe.
Dri.UTii. A us:. 28.— There was a weaK open
ing of the wheat market here to-day, Septem
ber falling of Vac and December lc, with a
downward tendency till 1 o'clock. There
were 42 cars of new wheat on track this
morning, with prospects of big arrivals of
more in a few days. Weak cables caused the
weakness here. I{et>orts from Cass county.
N. D., indicate damage to late wheat,
and that about one-half of the wheat
in the county is already cut. Manitoba
seems to have suffered severely from frost,
the temperature ranging Irom 22 to 27deg.
Oliver Dalrymple estimates that about one
sixth of the' wheat crop of the Red river val
ley is destroyed.
'The downward movement In prices kept
on, however, just the same, and the close
showed a falling off from yesterday of from

New York. Aug. L'S.— The stock market
iucreased its volume of business to-day and
fully regained its strength, and as a rule
prices were placed on a higher levil than yet
attained during trie present rise. Theefforts
to cheek the upward movement by the re
ports of frost, which, while containing some
truth, were grossly exaggerated, have finally
failed, and with London coming in as an
ally to the buying strength. That progress
may again be expected in the upward move
ment. The traders made a vigorous demon
stration airniiist the list this afternoon an. l
succeeded in again bringing about a frac
tioual recession after a strong opening, but
the buying became more urgent as the day
woie Along, and the bear contingent was
finally routed, and with an unusually large
business prices moved up rapidly and uni
formly.
The efforts to make a money scare in the
fall seem to be meeting wish "the same suc
cess the frost stories did, and the best opinion
among financiers here at present is thai there
will be no approach to stringency this sea
season. The bankers rely on the present un
usually large surplus left in the banks, and
the return of fit least a portion of the gold
sent abroad earlier; in the year, and with the
renewal of purchase- of securities for foreign
account the exchanges are weakening, while
cotton and wheat are coming forward in in
creased volume. The end of the frost scare
wasmarxed to-day by the reassumption of
the leadership in the market by the granger
stocks, and while Chicago is engaged princi
pally in handling the large wheat receipts.
there are still left some speculators and in
vestors who have time to take an Interest in
the stocks of tue railroads centering in that
place.
Burlington, St. Paul. Louisville and the
trunk lines were nil especially active, aided
by the change in the character of the advices
from the West, which reported most favor
able weather instead of tne frosts out of
which the bears have endeavored to make so
much capital of late. The efforts to bring
about a inrthpr reaction died away before
the heavy influx of buyers, and the efforts of
tne buyers were thereafter directed to the od
ject of covering their short contracts with as
little loss as possible, the result being
an irresistible upward movement in the
more prominent stocks and certain special
ties.
The record of transactions was the largest
yet, extending to 356,477. Railroad bonds
also broke the record for transactions, and
the business of the day footed up $3,014,000.
The tone was strong throughout the day and
many material advances were made, espe
cially among the nciive issues. Government
bond's have been dull and firm. State bonds
have been dull and steady.

HII.\XEAPOI.IS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.
The early markets tor wheat were weak
and lower, on lower quotations from abroad.
Liverpool was quoted 3d lower. At the same
time cables said country markets were stiff,
and that great damage had been done by
bad weather in England and severe storms
in some parts of the continent. New York
was reported a seller in the Western markets.
and that, with considerable selling on purely
Western account, caused the weakness this
morning.
December wheat opened at DsfAke and
closed at 'Jtic,
CASH wheat.
The cash wheat market was very slow. The
offerings were large, with few buyers on
hand, and they bought sparingly, being
afraid, owing to the way prices kept slipping
down in the pit. Samples that got in at the
opening brought 9*c for No. 1 hard, 93V&C for
No. 1 northern, and We for No. > north
ern, but this basis soon gave way to
lower prices in sumpathy with the
decline in futures. Trie receipts of wheat
for twenty-four hours were 340 cars; ship
ments. 167 cars. LMiluth received 1?3 cars.
The grain inspection for Thursday was as
follows: No. 1 hard, cars new; No. 1 north
ern. 241 cars. 238 new; No. 2 northern. 3D cars,
29 new; No. 3. 3 cars, l new; rejected, 8 cars,

FLOCK AND COARSE (iRAINS.
Flour— The added daily output of the mills
grinding yesterday will probably aggregate
:«) 300 barrels. Shipments, 39,012 bbls. Quoted
atfo 10@5. 50 for first patents; 84.90@0.10 for
second patents; 54.4;'&4.0.') for fancy and ex
port bakers': |2.4C@3.03 for low grades, in
bags, including red dog.
Flour was steady in tone and manufactur
ers were turning "out the usual quantity.
They are not now selling their present pro
duction probably, taken in the aggregate of
all mills. Most "of them sold beyond it some
time ago. but they have none too much pat
ents booked for forward delivery. Bidders
are Blow in making a figure that would be ac
cepted. The bakers and low grades are still
the favorites with buyers, and prices on them
are stiff. .
Bran and Shorts— Shipments, 915 tons.
Quoted at 510@10.50 for bran. 514.75<315.75 for
shorts, and SIW& 17 for middlings. Bran is
held here at near S 10.50 by some millers and
about $10.25 byNr.hers. Miles were made at
SlO, and dealers claimed that was all it was
worth in bulk with sacked . stuff 51.f.5®1.50
more. The Bast was quite well filled up be
fore the late rise in freight, so that now. with
a larger pait of the production thrown on
the Western bulk markets there is more de
pression. Eastern markets will have to ad
vance or prices will have to decline at least
to SlO. for outside figures.
Corn-Receipts. 8,120 bu; quoted at &X&f3c
on track. Corn held its own pretty well this
morning on speculative account, when it was,
considered that wheat was so weak. Still, the
feelhig was easy without, urices covering the
late wide daily range. There is uneasiness
yetabeui the" September deal in Chicago,
and Eastern parties with a finger in for that
month were still supposed to be buying that
month. The weather was cool over the belt,
with touches of frost.
Oats— Receipts. 26,000 bn; shipments. 14.140
bu: quoted at 27Q20C by sample. Oats fluctu
ated mostly in sympathy, other grain having
lost that tone and bearing of leadership held
on last season's crop. The weakness was
from the lirst to-day. More oats have ar
rived lately, and shippers are operating by
the northern lines to points east. The trad
ing is increasing, and promises to be more
important this season than ever before in tho
Northwest.
Rye— Receipts, 1,500 bu; shipments, M 0 bu.
Quoted at 82@§3c for sample cars of new on,
track. Rye markets wore unsettled. There
are plenty of buyers that want rye. but they
do not work so indifferent as to cost as ther
did a week or two ago. li does not appear
that the German* even ate prepared to im
port rye at any cost. Since tne matter is bet
ter considered buyers are more conservative.
Barley— Receipts. 3,080 bn; shipments none;
nominal at 4"(7>. we for poor to fine samples
of No. :;.
Flax — Receipts, none; shipments, none;
Flax sales are based on 10(g lie off from tha
Chicago market.

IU.VSISKVIKW.
Tl»** <»rain Speculation I<Vver Is
lirolioii— Pro*|»«'<-<«* Bright.
New Yobk, Aug. 28.— R. G. Dun's weekly
review of trade will say: The speculation iv.
breadstnffs tins broken down. The failure 10
export nl more !h;i!i aljout JLIO for wheat
has administered the corrective which this
trade greatly needed. The threatened with
drawal of the crop by the Farmers' Alliance
amounts to so little that receipts were 11,
--400,000 bushels for the las( ween reported,
against 1,900.000 for the corresponding week
last year, while receipts ot other grain
slightly decrease Money is moving rapidly
to the interior, but the treasury baa been
strengthening itself, adding $2,800,000 to
its gold for the week, and also tak
ing in SUitfUKX) more treasury notes
than it has put out. By requiring
deposits ofgoldat New York against >h\\>
ments of currency to the country banks, the
treasury has somewhat increased its gold re
serve, but the main fact is that its receipts
for the past week have exceeded its pay
ments of all kinds by about $1,200,000. The
official announcement that all the- 4Mi per
cent bonds not offered for extension Sept. 1,
will be paid on demand promises a large ad
dition to the available currency after the
first of next month. Crop prospects are iv
all respects exceedingly bright, and the re
ports of injury by frost do :iot appear to
affect any considerable proportion of the
crop. There is every reason to seppose that
the yield of wheat will be much larger than
the £54.000,000 bushels stimated by the
agricultural department, though a yield
no greater would leave' •JiM,000,l)00
bushels for export Hog products aro
somewhat stronger in sympathy with,
corn, but oil is lower, and also coffee. Cotton
has advanced :>-Kc. It would be a good
thing for producers, in all probabilities, if a
considerable part of the forthcoming crop
should be cut off by unfavorable weather.
The market for iron shows somewhat
larger sales and a better demand, though new
brands of Virginia iron are still offered at
low prices: a little improvement is seen in
bar iron, and plates are more active, though
prices arc very low; structural iron is in fair
demand, but not stronger in prices: the de
mand for rails is stagnant, the combination
having succeeded in so far maintaining (ho
price that buyers are disposed to wait as long
as possible; in the minor metals no change
ts seen in prices. Coal is iveaic, but there is a
better feeling in the market.
Sales of wool continue large.and the manu
facture is fairly well employed. At Chicago
receipts of wheat aie increase! fourfold and
of wool twofold, compared with last year,
and increase is seen iv Hour, cheese and iv
sales of dry goods, clothing and shoes, but a
decrease of H^c. in cured meats, %c in lara
and some increase in butter, hides and oats.
A heavy increase is teen in trade at St. Louis.
country merchants buying liberally, and
trade is improved at Kansas City and at Min
neapolis and st. Paul, harvest products being
of the Drightest. At Nashville the grocery
trade is better, but other business only fair,
and very little improvement is seen at Mem
phis, while trade in cotton is slightly im
proved at New Orleans and at (Jalveston the
prospects are favori.ble.
As much depends upon the balance of for
eign trade, it is highly important that the im
ports for July exceed the exports by ouly
83,800,000, instead of 823,000.000 last year, and
for August thus fur the increase in exports at
New York is 13.6 per cent, while in imports
there is a decrease of 18 per cent. Prices of
all commodities have declined i..i per cent
for the past week.
The stock market at New York lias been
comparatively free from speculative excite
ment and fairly strong, with some foreign
buying and not much realizing thus far by
foreign holders.
The business failures occurring during tbe
last sever, days number 238, as compared
with a total of 'Jlii last week. For the cor
responding week of last year the figures
were I£'J.

DETAILS IN MANAGING.
The Little Things Count When
Properly Attended To.
The details in managing horses,* like*
in the management of anything else.aro
what count. General orders cannot bB
followed with best results, as a rule.ua
less judgment is used. Under certain
circumstances different treatment must
be administered, and it is the thought
ful man who takes time to look after
the details in caring for his stock that
makes the greatest success in the busi
ness. Owners of large stables of valua
ble horses who have made a success in
their line or work as a rule, are men
who have looked after matters person
ally aiid given the minutiae of the busi
ness the closest attention. From this
the smaller owners of horses could tako
a hint. There are farmers throughout
the country who do not pay much at
tention to teams which they do not hap
pen to be using themselves, and often
losses occur through the carelessness of
boys or hired hands. If horses are
worth owning they are worthy of good
care. It a man is too negligent to see
to it that his horses have the best treat
ment he should be debarred of the »riv«
ilege uf owning horses.
