The "i?rovi?ioii market" writers are IniHV with their {(peculations just at this time uh to the likelihooils of the hog mar ket. The Htatistit* as to the New York market for "iness pork" for four years past, arc as follows: November 18th, 1875, it brought $2250 per barrel; same date iu I 387(5, $17; same iu 1877, ?14 20, ami iu 3878, $7 GO. Prime lard brought at the name dates the following prices: In 1875, ?12 50: in 1870. $11 05; in 1877, $8 53; in 1878, $0 27. The total export of hog stuff since No vember 1st, compares ns follows for 1877 and 1878: Total pounds./. 32,?ilt474 M,108,631 It will tliiiM be seen that a great deal jnore pork than usual has been going abroad, and yet it has been steadily declin ing in price. The reason of this is the immense product of the West. For in stance,the stock of hog product in Chicago in the middle of this month, as compared ?with thesame date last year was as follows: !Nov. 15, 1S77, pork, {>,830 bbls; lard, .'J,402 "bbls; Nov. 15,1878, pork, fii?,G24 bbls; lard, 157,281 bbls. The present prices for hog stuff are the lowest ever known in Chicago. The de pression o/ business, which has driven the j>oorer classes from the cities and large towns into the country, has caused a larg er.production of these things. The pro ducts raised by these people must be sold to buy other necessities which aro not raised by them. This has resulted in low prices, which, in turn, with the reaction following the European war, have caused the consumption to double. In New York, for instance, where two years ago the consumption was from 25, 000 to U0,000 hogs a year, it is now estimat ed at from 50,000 to 00,000, and in othor places on the seaboard it has increased at the same rate. The export demand, it is said, was never so great as at present, and it is almost entirely for immediate use, there being only a slight speculative move ment. The total export last week from 2Cew York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston, were 0,S17 barrels of pork, 11, 704,355 pounds of bacon and hams, and o,? 800,517 pounds of lard; while for the same week last year from the same ports, and including Portland, Montreal and New Or leans, there was exported only 5,458 bar rels of pork, 0,030,070 pounds of bacon and bam, and 2,820,820 pound* of lard. Corn, is said to have fallen below what ?was expected. The reports from the West state that in Illinois there is scarcely more than two-thirdsof a crop on the area plant ed. As late as July 1 corn was planted ami some replanted. That which had a fair start matured and made a good yield. The same conditions existed in a portion of southeastern Iowa and a large portion of eastern Missouri. The crops in western Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas were equal to those of former years.. With the exception of a few places the growth and the quality weregood. While Iowa plant ed a half million less acres,a better or much larger crop was never raised. It is expected, it is said, that the rail roads will have a liberal traffic in provi sions from the West thorougbout the sea son. It is believed that freight rates will not advance materially above the present quotations, and that ocean freights will Jiot vary any;therefore it seems not likely that there will be an advance in the prices of the hog product.

Editors Intclllgenrcr: That "Let us wait till the next trip" has 1>ecii a longer vacation than was expected. But memories grasp their own periods, and it only remains for us to listen, like the telegraph operator, to its instrumental flick, and write its message for the waiting friend. ' : In these days of thought and research, it is not well to listlessly follow, even in the footsteps of those whom nature gave ns as our guide. Ami although "lived as 3iis father lived, and died as he died" may liave been the poets ideal of duty, and 3>appine?s: yet his times were not as onrs are, nor were his ideas of responsibility, commensurate with our era of thought, so looking before we go in memory of the Island of nearly forty years ago, let us notice its contour, speculate uj>on the causes which produced it. And the more reasonable, or logical the evidence adduc ed, the greater will be the enlighteuinent, aitdTtie closer the approach to that religi ous and moral status, which enables the believer to give a convincing reason, for the faith that is in him. At the period contemplated, the east side of the Island, as well as the west, was bordered by forest trees and the river's edge, twhen. at the foot of the shore banks, was hundreds of feet eastward of its now ordinarv place; and the "Foster's farm," as the fsland bars aro sometimes called, was overtopped by a rich alluvium, it taxable domain, prospective lots in THE TOWN OF COI.UMMA. A sccne from the memories of that day depicts the gardeners' roadway up th'e easterly side of the Island, as it diverged from the National, or stage road, at the ilrht bench abovo the ferrv landing. It then eontinued northwardly on tho first Hat, over the ground now occupied bv the bridge approach, the contemplated Water street of the Zane's Island addition; and Home other territory which has since de veloped incontestable evidence of na tures forces. Homo of it, perhaps, is now ninong the obstructions which Captain Kads' genius seeks to distribute over some more remote fields, and which will proba bly constitute a home or plantation for Koino of our descendants in .the tenth or twelfth generation. He that as it may, nature s eroders and man's graspings have long since scarcely left a trace of t!ie*W track, which exists only among memories; and even then, linked perhaps with some sad fate, or ?or xowful recollections, for 'TU thu* thKinfliii'rlMMif llindra'd are?tro*ii j Alongilf*** |nilii ?n'l naUiN?'* own Mmtimn rtfinlndnr* hold timlr awajr I 3tl<l ?*'rjr (ifttli, o'ercv'ry way,, lUmm'il rlil'in, mxlf l?jr fallinr tear* Awakon* bopM. ?nl"luM?our /ran Ami, If l<? draw llio ?fll. 1 lin ?limlo?* Mlli#? inoiu'rli* Mil. There was, no doubt a long-gone time, when the waves carried the ground, or drift deposit of the Heaver uplands, and the tench dej?0Hit?, .which now exist at heights from oO to 100 fent above the pres ent river bed; and nearly every locality on the I'ppcr Ohio, on either the one side or the other thereof, Ihows astroifg probabi lity that an arm of the ocean more than once exercised its ]>owcr over the greater part of this valley. And, bv and by, when the ocean's waters bad receded, the mountain torrents by al piust leaping toward* it, cutaway the for* mcr drift down to the rock, which in some places. is iniuiy feet blow, um won demon* strata! when they were sounding for the bridge foundation at the foot of Madison, now 10th fit. Again, thoover-riding waters by washing ana ebb How, brought the silt which formed thn islands and the lower i bottoms along the river, and made all of tho territory which is now below high ? water mark. The extent to which even tho bed of' Wheeling creek has been washed and re- i tilled was demonstrated by the digging of the well and boring for water by .Mr. Key man, a few months ago at his brewery, I and after such tilling uj> there came, lirst, the smaller, then tho larger, then the I grater streams, until the waters, as ourl forefathers knew, coursed more evenly than now, in their much impeded way. At the beginning of the hist quarter of I the la.st century, the Islund, or Seventh | Ward of to-day", was reckoned as contain ing about three hundred and forty acres; and showed much less of the crescent form than it now exhibits, by reason of it? denuded banks having fallen an easy prey to that raging current, which civillazation's bared mountains no quickly pour* down with a force almost like a water spout from some overhanging cloud. Hut about the process through which the islands were formed, and the when, there has not as yet been any definite con clusion. Too little research has as yet been made into the geological formations abounding here; and theopinions are con sequently somewhat crude; but if once out of the beaten path, the consequent struggle for existence or supremacy will lead us to seek a better acquaintance with nature, as we more and more need her aid in the race for support or competency. TIIR 1'IONEKK HISTOIIV Of the Island, dated lmck to 1774 when Kbenezer Znne made his settlement, and it flourished only as a garden spot parcell ed out to gardeners, who, through their industry ami its fertility, made their way to independence, if not to ease and for tune. Scarce half a dozen tenants were found upon the Island in 1S31>, and the names of those are probably as familiar as household words to most of your readers. Let us go to the lurgeehn tree from which the buoy ferry swungandtrv todescribeit for the* benefit of those wild never saw such a transport. My boyish recollection pictures a long cable, at one end made fast to the large tree on the river bank, and at somewhat regular intervals supported above the water at a height of six feet or more by masted buoys. Tho hulk of each buoy was apparently a longitudinal section of a skill', but decked caulked, and so on, to prevent water logging. From the lowest buoy to the deck of an aproned barge called the ferrv bout, a smaller and more llexible line ex tended, passed through a shlvo or pi|l|y at a distance of about UO feet from one end of the boat, thence encircled tlio shaft of the steerman's whoel and passing through anothor shivu or puUy about the same distance, from the other end of the boat, passed thence to the lowest buoy again, forming as it wore a triangle, whose base was at the ferryboat. Tho turning of tho wheel either wav, brought one end of the ferry boat, or tfie other toward the buoy, and consequently placed the side of the lower end of tho flat under the pressure of the current in oppo sition to the upper end, which was held by tho rope and buoy; hence the ferry, according to the swiftness of tho current, moved or glided at the angle with the stream in which it was held by the pilot, but moved us it were on a swing from the ono side of tho river to the other. ?Such a ferry hud its advantages as well as disadvantages, in that, if there was a blowout, on the boat it was only because tho steersman's ropes were broken, or en tangled, or some wave driver or grounded buoy needed attention und something hud to give way to the pressure of pent up wrath. Itistrue that it was not bridge-like, and succumbed to very high water, and also to von- low water, hilt in carrying its passen gers over it always remembered that its current was the Ohio, and not the river Styx, and consequently always landed in Virginia, and never forwarded its burden to that other unmentionable country. But as the night may be stormy, tlie fer ry unmanageable, and'the stage passengers may need oil the accommodations which the "Island Home" can afford, let us make an oarlv crossing and put up 011 the east erly side of the La lielle Kivere. . 0. Biililii Wlic on Iloli I?jrer*oll. Cincinnati tiaiotte uf Saturday. The speakor said ho was not angry be cause Col. Ingersoll spoke of the mistakes of Moses. The lecture was only ridicule, and a thing over which we laugh leaves no impression behind. J^corn is a terrible weapon to achieve momentary success, but it is worse than worthless when the sober Bocond thought comes. Col. Inger soll is no reasoner. He can speak, but he can Jiot think with philosophic accuracy. Ho never says anything original. He shows that he has never read through the great philosophical works of this age. He makes gross mistakes, even in natural philosophy. "When he speaks of the In tlnite, no" becomes infinitely rediculous. Such a man can not upset the theology of Moses. The law of Moses is also secure from his assaults. When Hugo, Urotius and Iilaekstone, and all tho great writers on law during the past 2,500 years of his tory,say that the best law system is founded on the code of Moses, their conclusion can not be upset by any one man to-day. Col. Ingersoll says "he can write a better deca logue than that of Moses. You may rest secure. He will never do it. And'if lie can not successfully attack the theology and jurisprudence of Moses, why object to his lectures? He makes fun'for the masses. "We are not Litemlists," said the speak er. "We do not believe that the serpent really spoke to Eve; we do not believe that Halaain's ass spake to hiin; we do not behove that Jonah was in the whale three days. These little stories do not change tho jurisprudence of Moses. Here again comes a ]>oint which mukes me feel bad. I would like to like Col. Ingersoll. I would like to like him for his eloquence ami for his humor. But why does he repeat the old things which have been said again and again, and which have been repeatedly controverted? Worse than that, lie ignore his opponents. He shows that he has not read the late works 011 the subjects 011 which he speaks. There, for instance, is the work of J. W. Dawson, of Montreal, which he did not even mention, yet which completely upsets his statements. If the man can not read he ought to give it up." Tho speaker then began to instance a number of blunders tnnde by Col. Inger soll. The book of Genesis Iloes not des cribe the creation but the begiuninuof the world after the creation. The Colonel jests about the production of vegetation before the creation of tho sun, Genesis does not mention the creation of the sun, but only say that God distinguished the day from the night by name. Moreover, Col. Ingersoll does not seem to know that there is such a thing iw cosmic heat and cosmic light. Yet science shows that there has been a high degree of heat with in the earth. Is this all ignornnce of natural philosophy? He says that if Noah's ark had been raised 2,5<K> feet on tho water, tlm water there would have frozen. It is u disgrace to be so ignorant as not to know that water develop* heut. Does the eloquent lecturer think that every man In Cincinnati is so ignorant as not to notice his ninny blunders? Col Ingersoll says tnut labor is no curse, but a blessing. Th<} Colonel, however, does not seem to Jabot hard. Tho "sweat of the brow" point* to hard labor, which rests like a ourso on a poor man. He jents about tho creation of women, and does not know that it Is ono of the most dillieult questions in byology to determine the origin of the sexes. He talks about the littleness of the ark. Yet there ho smites Charles Darwin in the face,for on that very littleness Darwin founds his theory of the multiplication of species. lie scorns at tho God who destroyed Ills own children and undertakes to leach the Colonel, of I'eoria, how he should educate his. It all depends upon whut kind of children one wishes to bring ui>. God wanted to bring up God-like children, and when thev would not do it he then got them out of the way in preference to destroying hu man freedom or perpetuating wickedness. If it is only to bring up such children as Robert Ingersoll, of Peoria, 111., no such stringency is necessary. Musquashes grow spontaneously in abundance. Then he speaks about 000 pigeons a day for three priests, and does not know' that there are no pigeons in the wilderness, and the Masonic sacrificial polity was not intro duced till Joshua had taken the land of Canaan, and then there were more priests than there are to-day humorists in Ameri ca, for Joshua gave them quite a number of cities, and I would not be astonished if those American humorists could eat more pigeons than they can do good in this world. Hut what is the use, concluded Dr. Wise, of speaking of the mistakes of Moses? It were better to speak of the mistakes about Moses. Did Moses write the historical portions of the Pentateuch? If he did. did the translators and commentators wnich the Colonel road represent correctly Mb ideas? If ho, have the points which the Colonel makes never been refuted? To these miestions, he answers: "I do not know. Hut this ignorance is excusable in this case. Tho humorous and eloquent gentleman is out on a lecture tour, and wants to succeed. This can be done by reckless ribaldry only. It makes no differ ence whether hell or gods, devil or Moses, Pope or l'rcsbyterian Church?anything that will pay must be pressed into the serv ice. The Colonel's field is small, he has no great choice of subjects, and he must take the first best to ridicule it ami make it pay. lie has that particular talent, and could not do the same work in another field. He cannot criticise Aristotle and Emanuel Kant and make it pay, because he can not read them. I le can not ridicule Cnrlylo or .Stuart Mill, because he can notunderstand them. .So he picks up some small stories which the children know, and dishes them up in his own humoristic way, for the amusement of big babies. The man un derstands his business to the T. I tell you, he is not as bad as his reputation. Dr. Wise concluded by saying that he would take upthesubject, "Some Mistakes About Moses," again next Friday evening.
