May wheat, which closed on Saturday at 85 1 3852c opened at 86c and speedily sold to 86Jc May corn, which closed at 55c. opened at 55sc, and ten minutes later sold at 55Jc Provisions were higher on light receipts of hogs. May porH opened 10c higher than last week's close, at $15.50. Corn and provisions developed into sensational markets in the i first half hoar after the opening. The country set the pace, and the buying by "shorts made the advance ' still more rapid. May corn did not have a single set-back between 55 Jo and 56 Jc, the latter figure being reached by 10 o'clock. When it reached this figure the crowd began to realize that the advance could not always continue, and began to selL It reaeted speedily to 56jc, but there was a strong undertone to the market and a further decline would have encountered stubborn resistance. Pork was even more exciting than eorn. The combined effect of the light receipts, cold weather, "shorts" covering, and the advance in corn, was to shoot it an rapidly. January pork, which opened at $14 97. against a eloseou Saturday of $14.77i, sold up to $15.30 without a halt, and May, at the same time, went to $15.97. When the break in corn came, there was an easing off of values. May wheat went op to863a86c. but reacted with the other markets. The usual Monday gossip about the visible grain supply did not make its appearance until the morning rash was over. Then it was determined by the experts that the visible supply would show at least 1,000,000 bushels increase in wheat, and on this the market sold off sharply. Mav what went back to S6c, and held in the vicinity of SCJc until the announcement of only 899,000 bushels increase was made, when it went up to SCc This figure was too high, apparently, and it reacted to 86 Jc, where it became quite steady. . May corn went back from 56Jo "to 56c. It was the natural reaction from an uunatural advance. There proved to be too many buyers at the lower figure, however, and when a decrease of 859.000 bosheles in the visible supply was announced, May went back again to 56c, and around 56jc became quite steady. When corn and wheat went back provisions also declined. May pork sold from $15 974; down to $15.70, and January pork from $I5 30baek to $15,074.

The Foreign Grain Trade. LO NDON, Dec 5. The Mark Lane Express says' tbe trading in English wheat was dull, bnt in London values were steady. Deliveries were small. Tba provincial markets were weaker. Sales of English wheat for the week were 67,405 quarters, at 31s 3d, against 52.455 quarters, at 32 7d for tbe corresponding we it last year. Flour was depressed. Owingto large arrivals of foreign wheat, the dealings were restricted. The excitement is the American option market failed to effect spot trade here. Reports of the wheat harvest in Australia and the Argentine Repnblio promise a large increase of shipments. Flour was doll. Cora was scarce and values are rising. There were four arrivals of wheat daring tbe week, two were withdrawn and two remain. At to-day's market wheat was stead r, and the demand unchanged. Corn was 6131s dearer. Oats were in good inquiry and 3d higher. TRADE IN GENERAL. Quotations at St, Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Other Points. ST. LOUIS. Deo. 5.

AS TICKLED AS ANYBODY, Singular Case of a Man Who Was Sure Be Had Swallowed His False Teetbu Oil City (Pa.) Special. Mr. Walter Pettis, a prominent citizen of Sinclairsville, is tbe victim cf an odd incident that has created a great deal of amusement in this section. In attempting to eat an apple, tbe other day, be discovered that bis false teeth were missing. He at once concluded that be bad swallowed them. He said to his wife that be could feel them in bis stomach, and Dr. S'evens was summoned in much baste. , Tbe Doctor made a careful diagnosis, and was at a loss to know how a large plate, covering the entire upper jaw, and this filled with teeth, could pass into tbe stomach and Mr. Pettis not be aware of it at tbe time. Dr. Stevens said some soothing words to the patient, advised him not to think much about the teeth, and withdrew. Mr. Pettis did not believe the treatment he had received enough for such an extraordinary ease as his, and, taking bis wife with bim, boarded tbe first train for Buffalo, where be could consult an eminent surgeon. Dr. Stevens, in the meantime, telegraphed to Buffalo to be sure the teeth were in the man from Sinclairsville before cutting him open. Two or three Buffalo doctors examined Mr. Pettis, and were unable to locate the hard substance which he assured them was slowly killing him. Mr. Pettis was of tbe opinion that he should be cut open without delay, as he knew it would come to this sooner or later. At this juncture a telegram was received from Dr. Stevens, bsex at Sinclairsville. that the plate, with all tbe teeth intact, bad been found between Mr. Pettis's house and bis barn. In reply to a crowd of grinning neighbors, who met Mr. Pettis at the depot on his return, he said: "I suppose you fellows are awfully tickled, but you are not tickled half as much as I am, and don't you forget it." GENERAL CAMERON AS A WITNESS. He Tells the Date or Ills Birth and About a Railroad He Built lu 1837. Lancaster ( Ta. I !-pscial. Gen. Simon Cameron, the sage of Donegal, waa a witness in court here this afternoon in the suit of John L Hartman against the Harrisburg, Portsmouth, Ml Joy & Lancaster Railroad Company, to decide tbe title to real estate ir. dispute. The line consisted of four acres lying along the line of tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company in Manheim and East Hempfield townships, this county. It originally belonged to the estate of Joseph Kauffman, who died io 1836, and devised bis estates to his heirs. By purchase at public sale tbe lot in dispute came into possession of tbe plaintiff, but previous to this the railroad company bad appropriated it. The defense was title bv lapse of time in undisturbed possession. In 1835, in the lifetime of Jacob Kauffman, tbe original owner, and with his eonsent, tbe company weut upon his land and built the road. General Cameron, who was called to prove that tbe road was built during Kauffman s tint, testified as follows: "I am not a remarkably young man, bat not as old as Metbusaleb. I have no objection to telling my age, as I bave been married. I was born on the Sth of March. 1709. You can calculate my age. I was a director of the Harrisburg &, Portsmouth railroad. We organized tbe company in 1833. and let it to contractors in 1835. It was finished in 1837. The work was commenced between Chickies & Kauffman's mill in 1835. I might say I was the whole board. Tbe road was made with tbe purpose of making a direct line from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. Horse power wss used for a while on the road less than a year and then steam. At thatdavlknew everything belonging to the road. One of the particular objects I had in making tbe road along there was to have no lawsuits, and one of the first thing I did was to hire a man to pay the damages. Everybody wanted the road." General Cameron had quits a reception ia ihe

court-room, all the members of the bar, wb the presiding judge, vying in their efforts to show him attention. Under instructions of tbe court the jaw ren dered a verdict in favor of tbe railroat com" Pny. - ,, A WOM4N SCULPTOR.

The Story of Anne Whitney and Her ftru glee for Success. St. T.ouU Pout Difp-itch. omen who are discouraged by -the ws in which youthful prodigies ars forging shad of them, and are conscious of talents that mellow or other the world doesn't seem appreciate, will find much comfort in the stoy of the sculptor. Anne Whitney, whose state of Leu Lncson has lately been unveiled in Be ton with great honors. All during her youtl she was stung and spurred by a vague amttion that could not seem to find any legirimatecutlet. She turned her hand to many things an-i failed in each. Finally she placed all her bpes in a volume of poems, ardently anti-elaver in sentiment, which she put forth duriiig the .bolition excitement, ltfell perfectly flat, i-ea the Abolitionists would not read her song in spite of their sectional bitterness, and she. at: the age of thirty, sat down and stared blnk failure in the face and began to say to heielf that she was self -deceived that the stirrings Tthin her soul meant nothing at alL It was dusg this period of bitter depression and doubt tas she stood one dark winter afternoon at h.9 window regarding the expanse of newfalm snow in the garden. Obeying some vaga, sudden impulse, she went out and beeaico build a snow man in the fashion of her chUd-h days, but to her surprise, as it grew under lr hands it began to tae shapes of beauty. T9 passion grew upon her. Day .after day, whi the snow lasted, she worned in it, modelii? copies of statues she had seen and developin original ideas. When the snow went potter' clay took its place and at last she was able t stand up and say confidently. "I have found m; talent and life work." But she was thirty yean old. without the slightest technical knowledgo of her art, and everything to learn. She set herself bravely to work to repair the lost timo and now, a middle-aged woman, has at last achieved success. In these years between she has worked and studied with infinite energy and patience, and has had many difficulties to contend with. Some years ago a memorial statute was to be erected, and designs from artists were invited. The rules of the competition required that they should be sent anonymously. Two were chosen as superior to all th rest, and then of these two one was preferred, but when the sealed envelopes accompanying the models were opened it was found that the successful design was by a woman Anne Whitney and immediately the decision was reversed, and the award given to the second best design, which was by a man. Her beautiful statue of the young Norseman who first) stepped on American soil is conceded by the critics to be one of the most beautiful works of plastic art in the country, and her fame, af te many trials and rebuffs, is at last assuredGeorge Eliot did not discover her genius until after she was thirty, and Charlotte Bronte was late in the discovery of hers. It is not uncommon for women to be tept by circumstance out of their intellectual kingdom until long after they have reached their majority. Will Be Present to Claim His Fortune. San Francisco, Dee. 5. Dwey Ensign, the) boy who must be in Kansas City. Feb. 5. or lose a fortune, has tnrned up in San Francisco. His father died recently, leaving an estate worth 870.000. Tbe son. Dewev, bad rnn away to California instead of attending school, and the angered parent left a will with the following clause: "I divide my estate equally between my wife and son. Tbe latter, however, shall receive his share only on these conditions: Six months after my death this testament shall be opened by Frederick Ensign, my brother in-law, and James Tborp, of Los Angeles. If my sou Dewey is present when the document is made public be shall receive bis share. If he is not, then it is or will that he shall be cut off with the sum of $10. The estate shall revert to my nephew. Charles E. Washburn." The detectives searched in vain ior xne noy. ana it was re ports a to nis mother, now here, that he bad sailed for Australia. Saturday night be turned up, looking like a tramo. at Cbieo, on the Central Paeifio railway. He saw a newspaper containing an account of the reareh being made for him. He bad no money and was unable to write, bnt taking tbe newapaper he showed it to the conductors alone tbe road. Some of them believed bim and carried him over their divisions. Others threw him off the train, but he finally got to San Fran eisco after sawing a pile of fire-wood on the Oakland side of the bay to raioe tne ' money to pay bis way over the ferry. H liad roamed over tbe greater part of the Paeifio const be'ore reaching Chico on bis way to Nebraska. He will go east with his mother to claim the fortune. Stenography a Mania with Girls. Chlcavo Journal. "How many stenographers do you suppose) there are in Chicago!" was tbe inquiry of an em ployment-agency man tbe other day. The Stroller would not hazard a guess. "About 5.000, as near as I can meke out." said my inter rogator. He explained further th.'.t their wages averaged from $10 to $15 a week, a few of the most competent getting more than the latter? figure, and a great many receiving less than $10. Tbey are mostly women, and there is an army of them constantly in search of places. The hours are not hard, usually ranging from S or 9 in the morning; to 5 or 6 in the afternoon, with nearly an hour at noon for lunch. But the work is very confining. "The business is entirely overdone," said my informant. "It has become a sort of mania with girls, and tbev are going into it ia such numbers that tbe supply is alreadv entirely out of proportion to the demand. If I had the education of a young girl in charge I would strongly dissuade her from learning etenog. raoby. In addition to tbe overcrowded state of the profession, Edison's new phonograph will entirely diepens with the necessity of stenog raphers, if it will do all that is claimed for it. My advice to girls who want to fit themselves to earn a living is to try something else than stenography." A Monster of Another Age. Des Moines, Dec. 5. S. R. Dawson, cf Per cy, Wesson county, claims to have discovered! the petrified remains or a hnge monster near that place. It lies on the bank and almost in tbe bed of the Des Moines river. The total length of the body without the head is forty feet. At nine feet from the tail it is four fees five inches wide. Tbe head seems to have been detached from tbe bodv and lies about forty-five feet distant, up the stream. Mr. Dawson says, in support or his theory that this is the petrified remains of some extinct monster, that it is unlike the stone formation of that vicinity and is not the same all the way throneh. He sava that he finds a soar or quartite formation where the intestinal canal and blood vessels should be. wane a ainerenc formation is seen in other parts. The general appearance of the deposit is that of a darkish; blue stone, turning grayish on the outside. H is confident that it is tbe stone remains of some huge amphibian of the carboniferous age. Dispensing vritk Male Escort. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Tbe custom of women attending tne theater in groups of three or more without an escort is even more general this winter than ever before It is a very sensible and proper sort of independence, for it has always seemed rather hard to debai tbe sex from visiting either opera or play simply because no man happened to be available at the moment. It is still a bit awkward and embarrassing, for on entering a pnblio place every one present has a way of staring over ones sboalder. as though hunting no tbe missing man, bnt if the courageous individual be fall of plack this is soon overcome. Then there is strength in numbers. No one thinks of venturing out with less than two companions, which sets at rest any scruples on the score of personal protection. To many there Is no pleasure equal to theater going, and a prejudice wui soon oa lived down that is based 00 such narrow limits tions. The Name of a Great and Glorious Rce. Bev Dr. Phillipson's Rec-nt Lecture at Baltimore. The name Jew is tbe proud cognomen 01 tna eonfessors of that parent religion through whose medium the troth of tbe one (Jod was divulged to the world, but now ere we are Jews we are men. At Jews, we stana a instinctive religious community. As men, we are as our neighbors, one with them in all else; if we are to be dis tinguished from them it is onlv in this: In all else there is naught peculiar. Every representa tion as angat else is false. Christian and Jew are lost in that wider relationship of man. As Leaning's Nathan so well savs to the Templar: "Are Christian and Jew sum before they are men; un: wouia mat x naa ionna in vou one man whom it sufficed to be called man." v Two Killings In Indian Territory.
