Poultry in Demand. : Dressed turkeys are selling at 25 cents per pound on the Jackson market and fat hens, regardless of age, are worth one dollar each, spring chickens are almost impos sible to obtaig at any price. The dearth of homegrown fowls on the local market strikingly il lustrates the oft-repeated assertion that the farmers of Mississippi do not know bow to take advantage of their opportunities. Several large poultry farms around Jack don would be a veritable bonanza for their owners, yet not a single enterprise of this kind worthy of the name has been launched. Mr. J. Ehrmap, a local meat dealer, has purchased flora Ten nessee farmers during the past four months over $2,000 worth of turkeys, chickens and young pigs.

Jenny Lind and Grisi, rivals for popular favor inLondon, were invited to sing the same night at a concert before the queen. Jenny Lind, being the younger, sang first and was so disturbed by the fierce, scornful look of Grisi that she was at the pbint of failure, when, suddenly, an inspiration came to her. The accompanist was striking his final chords. She ask ed him to rise and took the vacant seat. Her fingeis wandered over the keys in a loving prelude, and then sne sang a little prayer which she had loved as a child. She hadn’t sung it for years. As she sang she was no longer in the presence of royalty, but singing to loving friends in her fatherland. Softly at first the plaintive notes floated on the air, swelling louder and richer every moment. The singer seemed to throw her whole soul into that weird, thrilling, plaintive “prayer.” Gradually the song died away and ended in a sob. There was silence—the silence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spellbound. Jenny Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look into the scornful face that had so disconcerted her. There was no fierce expression now; instead, a tear-drop glistened on the long, black lashes, and after a moment, with the impulsiveness of a chjld of the tropics, Grisi crossed to Jenny Lind’s side, placed her arm about her and kissed her, utterly regardless of the audience.—Ex change.
