DRY GOODS.
CUICAOO.
The past week saw an Increased distribution of
domestic and foreign dry goods. Decidedly more
buyers were present tlmn an any pro*ions week of
Hie season, and. stimulated by the upward tendency
of prices and the more seasonable weather, their
purchases were liberal. In addition to the fact
that prices arc strong, and that for tho time of
year a more than ordlnarlly-good business Is In
progress, collections were never bettor than at
present, and, taken all In all. the position of the
market has rarely been so satisfactory as now.
prints arc active, with standard-brands quoted at
6'jcand “oir* grades at 4Vs(<*Gc. Bleached sheet
ings and shirtings are freely dealt In, and prices
sru advancing. New York Mills ami Womsutla arc
now held at lie; fruit of the loom at H!ic. and
Lonsdale at BMc, The New York ./carnal of Com •
turret of Mitnruav last says:
* ’ In looking at (lie supply between Ihe mills and
cousutlicrs ns the season advances wo 11ml that
condition ns actually Improved over any corre
sponding period that con bo recalled. Of no quali
ties Is there moro than a supply with Jobbers lo
meet tho distributing demand in sight. It should
he home In mind, however, that this satisfactory
statistical condition has been reached through an
Increased export request, attracted by tho very
low prices for tho superior qualities of American
cottons, which demand Is not likely to bo choked
oil by too high prices. In tins connection it is
well to remark that the export request is more ap
preciative of tho low prices ruling In tho fnco of
the cotton supply of tho world than uur homo mar
kets. and during tho week very Important orders
for future delivery have neon mode at *,ic and ‘„*r
advance on last prices, and much larger orders
have been declined for July and Augnst delivery at
jhosame figures.”
NEW YORK.
New York, March 23. Jobbing trade continues
fairly active, and business fair with agents ropro
stntfng cotton goods, prints, dress goods, ole.,
hut woolen goods remain quiet: cotton goods firm
ly held, owing to the late advance in cotton, and
low grade fancy prints have an upward tendency;
foreign goods in moderate request.

Association of the Western Lakes, and recom
mended the formation of an association of vessel
owners for Chicago to conform to the require

or other ports under tho control of this Hoard at tho
earliest convenience.
Cant. O. 13. Mullen offered tlio following,
which was adopted without discussion:
lletolttd, That wo, no members of this Hoard,
pledge ourselves, ono la (ho other, that we will
withdraw our patronage irom anv agent that

under the rules:
That the words 1 * and agents ” bo stricken out of
Shu preamble. Art. 1. and the words “or agents”
u Art. IX.

A WONDERFUL RUNNER.
fi’tio Turk T»nt*.
Tnc present interest In pedestrlanlsm, mani
fested by the gathering of throngs of people to
witness walking and running matches, was
equally (treat In the early part of the century,
but was then excited by the wonderful and al
most iniTcdltdc performances of one mnn. This
was Mensen Ernst, born in Bergen, Norway, on
Oct. 10,1700. He was the son of a sea Captain,
and, when still a boy, entered the English navy.
Although his powers as n runner were deployed
even In his boyhood, hu had made three voy
ages to the Kast Indies, ami hud completed a
three-years’ truUu on the frigate Caledonia, be
fore hu made a public exhibition of them, which
ho tlrst did by running n race in London when
10 years old. Though up to this time ho hud
had no training, and had even lacked a pe
destrian’s ordinary opportunities fur mus
cular development, bo was famed throughout
the nnvy as a runner, and wonderful stories as
to his extraordinary powers circulated among
011 branches of the service. At Inst a heavy sum
of money was watered by the officers of lit* ship
that Mensen would run from London to Ports
mouth, a distance of seventy-three miles, In less
tliun ton hours. The feat was attempted and
accomplished, the dislanco being covered by the
young sailor in exactly nine hours. Shortly
afterward ho ran from London to Liverpool, u
dhtanee of 100 miles, hi thirty-two hour t. Al
though thus successful as a runner, Mensen did
nut quit the sea until after ha vim; distinguished
himself by bravery In Hie bnttlu of Navarlno,
fought Oct. ’JO, ltW7. Soon after that date he
became a professional runner, mid, niter win
ning a number of lesser matches, was ledueed
to undertake the groat feat of running trout
Paris to Moscow. lie storied from the Place
VemJume nl 4 o’clock in the afternoon of Juno
11, IbUl, and entered the Kremlin at 10 o’clock
a. tn. of Juno Uu, having accomplished the dis
tance of 1,700 miles in thirteen Uuvsund eighteen
hours.
This feat created a decided sensation through
out Europe.mid the cmployincntuf Manser ns a
courier extraordinary hy Kings and Princes be
came a popular amusement In European courts,
iic ran from country to country, and from
court to court, hearing message* of congratula
tion, condolence, or dispatches of greater Im
portance, and whenever matched against the
regular mounted couriers, easily succeeded in
heating them. He always curried with him a
map, a compass, and as many biscuits and
ounces Vf raspberry eirup os there were to bo
davs occupied on the Journey. Ju winter he
took with him n pair of long. Blender Nor
wegian snow-shoes, amt lu traveling he always
chose the most direct line, turning out neither
for mountains nor rivers, hut climbing the one
and swimming tho other. He never walked,
but Invariably run, keeping uti u long, swinging
lope for hours at a time without rest. Ills onlv
refreshment was one biscuit and an ounce of
raspberry sirup per day, and two short rests of
ten or fifteen minutes cadi in twenty-four
hours. These rests he took while standing ami
leaning against a tree or oilier object of
support. At such times ho covered his
face with a handkerchief and slept, ami after
such a nap he would pursue his way apparently
ns refreshed as though he had slept for hours.
Ho was very uneasy when compelled to be
ouict, and could not sit still for half an hour
without feeling a sense of sniTocation. He was
a very amiable man, a favorite with all who
knew him, and was mndo much of by his Uoyal
patrons.
In 18.13, ho started from Munich at 1 p. ni.,
Juno 0, with dispatches from the King of Bava
ria to Ids sou Otto, King of Greece. These dis
patches wero delivered at Nuunllii at 0 a. m. on
duly I, or seven davs sooner than if they had
been sent hy the regular post. In IS'W, while
In the cmnloy of tho British East India Com
pany, Munson was charged with tho conveying
of dispatches from Calcutta to Constantinople
through Central Asia. The distance is r»,GIS
miles, which the messenger accomplished in
llfty-nlne days, or In one-third of tho time mado
hy the swiftest caravan. On this wonderful
journey ho mado his way across terrible des
erts, awful salt swamps, where, for hundreds of
miles, he saw no living being, and through coun
tries whoso inhabitants were savage robbers,
mid who lived in n statu uf continual warfare.
Tho man seemed invested with supernatural
powers, and his fame sptcad far and wide. One
uf the most Interesting problems of the ago be
ing the discovery of the sources of the Nile, It
wap suggested that this wonderful muii be em
ployed to follow the course of the river to its
sources, and thus determine them. Vrlnco
Buckler Muscan, who had himself traveled ex
tensively In Egypt and had made several unsuc
cessful attempts to penetrate to the headwaters
of the Nile, ullered to defray all expenses mid
reward Metißen handsomely if he would under
take the trip. Thu Indefatigable runner con
sented to make the attempt, mid on May 11,
18-lb’, set out from Musknn, in Bllesta, whence
he run to Jerusalem, where ho had sumo busi
ness to attend to. Thence he continued his
way to Cairo and up tho western bank of tho
Nile, through Lower and Middle and Into Upper
Egypt. Here, just outside tho Village of Svane,
lie was seen on the morning of Jun. Is)3, to
stop mu! rest, leaning against a palm tree, with
his face covered by a handkerchief. Ho rested
so long thatsomu'persons tried to wuku him,
hut they tried lu vain, for ho was dead. Hu was
burled at the -foot of the tree, mid It was years
before his friends In Europe knew what fate had
befallen him.

MontcCaklo, March o.— Except In the mat

wet, tlic session at Montu Carlo has been quite
up to the average. The play has been very
heavy at limes, mid (huso who came here with
Urn laudable determination of breaking the bank
or of working systems have not rim usual fate
of “going empty away." The English players

'Urn latter win close upon 70,000 francs iu

over £12,000. Mr. E. was 150,000 francs “out”
up to yesterday, when ho gut it all buck, with
somcttilng to rim good. Au coutrairu, almost

OBLIGED TO EAT Ills OWN WOUDR.
.V«*i r J'nrk Il’-rM.
In Moscow City a goodly sized book was pub
lished in vindication of the rlchls of the sub
ject. The work contained slinging sarcasms
aimed at the venality of the officials, with many
satirical and humorous allusions to brlbe-taklnlr
mid other iniquities. Even the Czar himself
was handled without gloves, his nets were fear
lessly denounced, and u powerful argument was
adduced iu behalf of the rights of Ids subjects.
The maladministration of law was set forth in
strong, plain language. *
The book nttrfjted general notice, but lids
was bad for the author, lie was arrested mid
thrown into prison. After a short and summary
trial Ids production was pronounced n libel, mid
be was condemned to “ eat bis own words’* or
suiter the punishment of the knout. This ter
rible instrument of torture is in the shape of a
long whin or scourge, mid is composed of many
tough thongs of thick, hard skill plaited to
gether mid interwoven with strands of stout
wire. The criminal is stripped and is llrmly
hound to two stakes which arc sufficiently whU*
apart to admit the free motion of the head. The
blows are laid upon the bare buck, every stroke
cutting like nktilfo, and soun the victim of the
scourge is a shapeless mass of blood ami llesii.
One hundred blows arc equivalent to a death
sentence. 'I bis was the alternative of the un
happy author.
Tim day fixed for carrying the sentence of the
Court into execution arrived. A platform was
erected In one of the public squares of the city.
Hound hand mid foot, the victim of despotic
imwcr was seated in the centre of the platform.
An Immense concourse of people had gathered
to witness the strange spectacle. The Imperial
Provost, the Magistrate, the physician and Hie
surgeon of the Czar were in attendance. Tim
obnoxious hook bad been separated from its
bindings “iid as an nctof grace the margin had
been cut oil. Tin* leaves were then rolled up,
not unlike cigar-lighters. And there were a
basketful. Now Urn meal began. Amid roars
of laughter from Hm ignorant mid degraded
populace, the Provost served Urn author leaf ny
leal with Ids own production, pulling the roils
of paper one by one into his month, Hu
slowtv chewed and swallowed one-third of his
book, when the medical gentleman concluded
1m had received into his stomach ns much of rim
Innutritions material as was compatible with
siUcty. Hu was then recondimtcd to Ids cell 10
digest Ids meal. The two following days the
same scenu was enacted, until every leaf was
swallowed, and ns a matter of fact Im was
compelled to literally cat his own words and

A YUMA ROOSTER,

Yuma has a famous rooster, and this is the
way it enmo about. It is emphatically a self
made bird. Tlm firm of Sisson «S Wallace,
amongst other tilings, soil eggs, it so happened
that all the eggs were sold out of a particular
can save one. Meantime the sun went on gut
ting holler and hotter, ami presently Dm egg
began to warm up to rim situation. The progress
of tills novel solar gestation was watched with
an absorbing curiosity by rim store people.
About the time the mercury reached 121 degrees
in tlm shade the chicken began to peck its way
out of rim shell, mid presently it emerged us de
limit an infant rooster os over wore spurs, it
grew apace, mid to-day Its habits are as eccentric
us its manner of birth. It is exceedingly fierce,
and will attack a man, a dog, or anything Dial
comes in its w ay. All u visitor bos to do to in
sure u delivery of battle by this pugnacious
rooster Is to hold uu his foot, and straightway
the hint will fly at him viciously. Wo have heard
of many ways of hutcblng chickens, but u rooster

ahead of our previous experiences.
THE CZAR’S BEAR.
Tlio Czar wished to shoot a bear. A bear was
accordingly found, a ring of peasants surround
ed It, ami word of its whereabouts was sent
to tho Imperial sportsman. Unfortunately,
while these preparations were being made, the
creature contrived to slip through tho ring and
escape. What was to bo done! That tho Em
