SANTA FE LETTER.

Another Letter From Oar Correspond' ent in Xeir Mexico. An Editor Wedding In Mexican Dich Life Decoration Kit OmrSom'a Mon. nmeot, Its Dedication, Addresses, Ktc Other Matter, Etc. Santa Fa, N. M., Jane 3. Jast real this and say nothing: SIX MONTHS OCT OF HELL. The payment of the SI. COO waeer to the writer jesttrday by Mr. J. V. Lynch, tie liberal, publictpirited man and wealthy stockman, at the expiration of the first six months of total abstinence from the use of Intoxicants, was the clever deed of a iaernanlmoua man lor an exalte! purpose the checking in his mad career downward of a young man boe friends feared that he was feeing engulfed in the vortex of dissipation. The abOTa is the first paragraph ol an editorial article, over a coin mn in length, that appeared in the Las Vegas Daily Optio last Iriday evening. Tie writer la E. A. Ktstler, the editor and proprietor of the paper. Six months ago he received an offer of 1,000 to lemain sober for that length cf time. The term waa up on Thursday, inclusive; on Friday the article appeared, and that night he waa over here drank. He not only got drank, bnt applied an opprobrious epithet to a jonng fellow named Johnson, a printer in the Government office, whereupon the latter did push hia good right hand against the IC38 of Kistler, and then proceeded to destroy the vision of one of his three optics. Saturday morning Kistler returned to Vegas & sadder, wfcer and a darker eved man. Now, imagine jast such a fellow as this Kistler representing journalism anywhere, end then tot a moment consider the spec ta cle of such a- he in the guise of a public teacher, a wielder ot the pen to actuate better impnljes in men and gnide ns by sound advice in the time of our public trials and troubles. It reminds me of New York journalism. Alt through the article ae expressions finch es "The memory of wasted years is our hardest punishment;" "If memory wuld sleep cur material losses would ha light t) bear;" "We may have lost much by our 'new departure in life, but have we not also gained much, for which we should bs grateful?" and he further says, "And wa are trying." The article appeared in the evening, for the Optic is an afternoon paper, and at 1 o'clock that night the reptile who penned it was drunk and the worsted ruffian in a bar reeni row. Selah! It is with some hesitancy that I associate 80 immediately with the above that which I respect; but the reader will understand that I but pcint ont the features of life in thelivlng. I apprehend that few have ever witnessed a Mexican wedding in high life. Oa last Thursday I had the special opportunity of witnessing the ceremony, reception aad general "blowout" of a Mexican alliance in the ultra circle of the native. Early in the morning the bride elect waa prepared for the sacrifice. In all the splendor of white satin, silk and rich laces and crowned with bridal wreath, which held the üowing Teil, the poor child was escorted to a coach, and, with three tiny bridesmaids, took Tap her way to the scof, the cathedral. Now, dear ladies, don't expect me to describe her apparel, for I don't know whether the dress was gored or shirred or sherry cobblered; nor do I know whether the satin was embroidered or the lace genuine old Spanish creator, the price of which per yard would make Yanderbilt dizzy. I don't know the difference between a chef d'eeuvre of the millinery art and a four-dollar bill. Bat the dear creature of whose dea , I should say marriage, I am writing, was bundled Into a carriage and took up her lait journey of single blessedness, behind a brass band and followed by all th9 people and loose dogs in town. The coach was drawn slowly but surely through the public streets to the Cathedral, and waa there met bj a d? tachraent of troops nnder command of the unfortunate groom. He looked as though he bad been dead about two hours, ai nothing but a hectic flash denoted life within bim. The populace aarroanded the carriage. and that one poor child was the unspired target of everybody's gaze and grin. Alighting from the carriages, the procession was farmed upon entering the Cathedral, aud the final single harness march was Indulged In. The solemn service of THE KCPTIAI. MAS3 was performed and the young people for ever and for aye were made one man. They received a quantity of good advice from the Archbishop who put them

through their initiatory trouble, and then the military band began a lively sort of march and headed the proceeaioa out ot church. The .bride and groom enterei tha carriage end the procession headed for a hotel, where a reception was held until the evenir-r; then the dancing and feasting basn, and it was 2 o'clock next morning before the curtain feiL At that time tue bride was hurried away to her chamber, and by her maids prepared for sleen. Through the vigils of the night the beautiful maids kept watch whilst the groom was down Btairs !lii g up with the boy a. The ceremony is at once impressive and amrjs:rg. The Mexicans consider but one event in the lives of their children, and thtt la their marriage. If they axe poor they will squat; der the last nickel on white satin or Spanish lace with which to deck their daughters t their wedding time. Their sens are beloved until they marry, and then the severity of duty in the perpetration cf the species overcomes all other thoughts, and until the grandchild is born there is no further concern upon the parts cf the parents of the young coaple. All tte glamour and display possible is indulged in to herald the bride's beauty and consequence to the world as she approaches the pi ace of ceremony, and all the "pomp end circumstance" of dollars and-cents inrloence is brought to bear upon and for the success of the feast which follows. Children in white strew the new bride's way with flowers. She's lucky if she's not punching burro3 over tte rocks next summer. In this instance both bride and groora are rich; bit -what comfort will that fact be when he begins to rampse around town with the boys, and comes home full of oyster soup and seltzer water and 72 o'clock a. m.? I can't helo imagining how funny it would be to see an Indianapolis girl being steered by a brass band up to a brace game minister. Now take out your store teeth and splutter. The contracting parties to the welding I have referred to were Don Eugenio Yrisarri and Miss Earbarita Perea, both of high social standing and of personal popularity. The relatives of the contracting parties aod near friends constituted the procession proper, whilst the entire populace of Mexican and Spanish lineage joind in the general testimony of regard by atteiding the public service of the marriage. The soleraiiity preceding the ceremony Is di3placed by a joyous yet respectful and decorous happiness on the part of ail the bride's thoughts of separation from tbo?e dear to her are overcome by the general joy that springs from every heart, is rejected from each face and radiates frem every eye. Indeed the poor people vie with each other in short prayers for the bride's welfare, as to which is the more pointed in its wish. The continuance of the cerotnonv after the formal reception is in conformity -with a custom of sgss, and that is the particular feature to arousa the cariosity of us Iloosiera, I'rom the bright eyes of the beautifal bride we gaze beyond, and memory of the dead past bricks back the contents of the f rare and wakes the dead to living memory. On Saturday, Decoration Diy, the usual tribute k the soldiers of th rebellion was paid. ' at tut wu sot all, The C-rsad Array o

the Bepnbllo for and of the Department of New Mexico assembled here in 8aata Fe to assist at the dedication and unveiling of a monument to an old hero, Kir CAESosr. A plain and timple tribute of common sandstone, and yet wbat graadear of character is honored! Military geniuses may with diplomatic vulgarity smile their encomiums upon bis lack of knowledge of the manual, but was it not Napoleon who was declared by the strict disciplinarians cf Germany to violate every law of modern warfare? The strong heart of Kit Carson wes the guide to the territory we sow own, and to bis knowledge of fear and appreciation of danger is attributable the terror with which his name filled the red devils of thirty years a:ro. Had we sow soch a man to follow Geronimo and his b.'ood letting Apaches, there wouln be no fear cf catching np with them. Captain Dickey, of the regular army, sail in my presence: "They'll never ca'ch them. Tbey will divide and gt over the line, sure." Now if one army officer knows that fact, how strange it is that the fast is not appreciated by thoee who are counted as experts in the Indian trail business. Ths more I hear acd read of this matter the snore am I disgusted eo I'll get back to Kit Carson's monument The proceision was under tne command of Chief Marshal E. v7. Winkoop, and beaded by the Thirteenth United States Infantry Band, followed by Company E. Twenty second United States Infantry, Captain Dickey commanding. Then came the veterans of Kit Carson's regiment and the New Mexico Pioneers, who were almost idan t:cal with the membership of Carson's bind. Following was the Carleton Post, No. 3. G. A. R., and veterans of all wars, and the line was continued by the presence of the Gjvernor and staff. Board of Trade, Stnta Fa Rifles, Fire Department, civic societies aad citJzecp. Among the ladies of the Floral Committa9 was cne well known in Indianapolis, and b 3loved by everybody between Pogue's Run and White Elver, Miss Lavelletta Davidson, now the admirable wia of Captain Charles A Dickey, of the army. The address at the unveiling of the monument was delivered by Governor Sheldon and was a resume of the principal incidents of the life cf Kit Carson with a tribute to his unswerving nature and cautious energy. Tne features given were of data and referred to the man's life rather than to his character, cotiequently I corralled L'ncle Samuel E'liBon. who knew Kit and his associates away back in 1843. "When seventeen years of age Kit Carson left Kentucky, his native Stats, and came West. From 1S25 to 1312 Kit lived the life ef a mountaineer, hunter and trapper. In the latter year he met General Joan C. Fremont and subsequently acted as his guide in three expeditions. In IS 13 there were Cerean St. Vrain, Charles Bent, Lncian B. Maxwell and Christopher (Kit) Carson at the head of a large body cf pioneers, and in the order given were they estimated. St. Vrain wa a sort of prince among men, and was so styled for his elegance, withal an untutored man. lie was the head of the party, with Charles Bent next, and who was appointed Governor by and under Brigadier General 8. W. Kearney, and subsequently assassinated at Taos in 1S47. Then came Lucian B. Maxwell, an aggressive man like Bent, and last of tne quartet came Kit Carson, a conservative and cautious man. These men were all true and rtliable, bnt the merit of the four given ia upon personal desert. Maxwell was the original of the Maxwell grant, and went and lived among the Ute Indians, and was never harmed, living np to within a few years past. Carson was essentially a guide, and although exposed to constant danger and privations bordering suffering, he never knew the weight of respectability. He was created a Colonel and raised a regiment in the F.ebellion, but was detaised in the extreme. West during the entire war, having no opportunity to show the possibilities of his nature. Although often called a General or a Brigadier he was entitled to no higher military title than COLOSSI.. However, the stead'astness of his nature and the fixedness of purpose, once aotion was determined upon, gained for htni the fame that remains. In appearrance he was the Kentucky build; tall, large boned, large face, deep blue eyes, long auburn hair falling over hia shoulders. In disposition he was kind and gentle, conservative in his opinions and actions, and cautions a? to adopting the ideas of others. The feature cf cautlonness waa increased, no doubt, by bis familiarity with the Indians and his movements were deliberate. He could not well plan a campaign, but once undertaken it would be fought out by him. Iiis entire life in the West was more that of a guide, especially in Government expeditions against the Jocirilla, Apaches and Utes, than Id any official capacity. As I have said, St Vrain, Maxwell and Bent were somewhat his superiors In executive ability, but none truer, or more devoted to any cause he might have espoused.

He wants me to go fishing upon tbe eld Feces with him, and if I do I'll make him tell me romething about his bright boy Steve, and I reckon he knows him. The appointment cf ex Senator E.

WASHINGTON LETTEIU

Who Are Employed by the GovernmentThe Female Clerks What Oar Correspondat Saw In tbe Navy Yard Whsr -Lincoln Died, tc. I Special Sentinel Letter. Washington, June 6 There are from 15. 0C0 to 13.000 people in and about Washington under Gcvernm?nt employment Most of these have come from their homes, scattered throughout all tbe States and Territories, and have csme here to work for Uncle Sam. They receive good salaries, live well, and epend all tbey earn, whether It bs tbe department c erks at $900 to $1,8)3 a year, or heads of bureaus and divisions from $1,800 to 3.500 per annum. Very few rave any tuocey, all seeming to count upon the almost certainty of their party keening in power, thus assuring tbeir s.ipendlam continuing, an income as sure and reliable aa tbat cf millionaires who clip their coupons from bonds. One party bas been in power twenty-four years. Many of its clerks and employes here have been in the service from eighteen to twenty-f jur years, and are growing gray and aged. T these the election of a new administration of an opposition party is a blow as unexpected by tbem as they were ill prepared to receive it It ia unjust to plead for them that they ba retained becaube of their long service rd their poverty. They cauld have "laid np" enough in all these years to have supported them economically until the end of their day?; or, if tbey be strong and vigorous yet, until they find other employment. There are tens of thousands of people in tbe United States of the now dominant party she are just as competent to fill the places utder Government, just as needy and just es much entitled to tie "emoluments of office" as are the old employes and adherents of tne deposed political party. Mfstof thia vast host of people here in Government service are "roomers", or, in other words, tbey rent furnished rooms in private families and take their meals sometimes in the came house, oftimes at restaurants or dining halls. This makes of Washington almoet one vast boarding house, and throughout the city are to be seen 03 the doors or in the windows of residences tbe common placard, "Furnished rooms to let." The?e rent from 3 to $35 per month for single rooms, the rate varying according to location and furnishings. But few clerks are satisfied with one room and take a suite. Good table board costs from $11 to $10 per month, though the bill of fare ot restaur nta in the central part of the city at the first ramed figure is first class and abundant. We were surprised at the large proportion of ladies employed in the various departments and bureaus, not only as clerks, copyists, stenographers and typewriters, but they even nan and run tbe printing presses. The Bmeau of Engraving and Pinting fairly swarms with them. Some are middle aged, and not a few have long since passed the meridian of life, bnt the large majority are Jonng and exceedingly "fair to look noon " ndeed we never saw so many handsome women, almost universally, as are seen leaving the various departments at 4 o'clock p. rn.. We are much disappointed to learn that few of these are. like CViar's wife, "above suspicion." Oar own idea of woman is exalted, and wa do not like to believe the evil reports so prevalent in Washington concerning the morality of the "department ladies." Common rumor classes tbem on one low level, where virtne is lacking and not expected. All are included nnder this ban, and yet we know tbat it is entirely too sweeping, for among them are mothers of families, pure and womanly. Others are daughters or relatives os statesmen and soldiers of renown in our Nation's history, aud are ladies against whom no word of . reprocch can be said. We would not recommend a lady friend or relative of onr3 to seek a position here, where she would be subjected to tbe indignity of being carelessly, perhaps scandalously, talked about with the sfpüif.carce peculiar which attache to the female "department clerk." THE KAVT YARD is the main object of interest at our Nation's Capital, and one can spend hours there, oblivicua to the passage of time, in looking over the relics and trophies cf all our wars. Amocg the latter are many cannon of all eizes, kinds and patterns. Particularly noticeable are two large guns taken by Comniedere Rogers from a Tripolis man-of-war in our little brush with Tripoli. Tbey were csst in 1767, arecf Spanish malte, bell -metal and highly ornamented, aa are four nearly similar pieces captured in the Mexican war. two cf them cast in 1740. One is p3ss2S5ed with a feeling almost cf veneration as he stands by these old veterans and thinks of the many battles and sieges to which they were no silent spectators, but in which they took part in death dealing thunder, as with peal after peal from fiery months they sent seven-inch balls on errands of destruction, and no telling how many of onr forefathers were mown down by them ere the final capture of ths guns. How disappointed one is in turning from these slender, shapely, handsomely embossed pieces or artillery to the big, rough, uncouth locking giants ef our time. Those of 11 years ago are works of art The modern cannon are infinitely superior in the power, vtlocity and rapidity with which tbey can throw shot and shell, bnt there is no beauty either of detign or finish in them Tney are huge, ugly looking iron castings in appearance. Tbe many larje buildings, shops of various ki&ds of capable ot employing several thousand men, and with spacious grounds and roomy docks, give one a grand idea of the might and capacity of a Nation's power as a manufacturing power. Passing down Tenth street a few evenings epo our attention was attracted to a marble slab about two feet square and just above the first story windows of a houee opposite. Inscribed thereon we read: "Abraham Lincoln died in this house April 15. 1SG5." Instantly our mind reverted to that eventful morning ovu twenty years a?o, when a Nation wai shocked by the appalling news ot Lincoln's assassination. Here then in this three story red brick house the martyred President bad breathed hia last Now the Inevitable sigo is displayed in tbe window, "Rooms to Let" Little innocent children ere playing about the doorsteps and sidewalks ignorant of the historical spot and the awful death a Nation mourned. Ladies and gentlemen are cuattiDg and laughing pleasantly in tbe hallway, where they sit comfortably enjoying the frteh breeze that fans them so coolly there. The house shows tbe ravages of time eomewbat, and must have been built many years .aco. Across the street is the old Ford's Theater building in which the fatal deed was done, when J. Wilkes Booth, with "sie semper tyrannis" upon hia lips, inflicted the fatal wound. Ford's Theater, a two and a halt etcry brick, painted brown and lookinsr sombre and gloomy. la now the Surgeon General's ciSce, and tbe interior of tiie building presents a business-like appearance, with manifold desks, papers and books anon which many clerks are at work. One looks in vain there fcr the old place of amusement, and only upon the outside is its aspect such as to show for what purpose it was erected. This historical spot is less than two squares from Pennsylvania avenue, Washington's main thoroughfare. A few decades beDcs both these s'.nntures will give place to newer, more cotly edifices, and the people of Lincoln's day will likewise give way to the generation soon to follow. Chambers.

EWS ABOUT GKOKGK WASHIXarOX Ancient Records of Fairfax The Father of Bis Country Presented by the Grand Jury. Faibfax Court Horsx, Va , May 20. The Court House structure here was built at the beginning of the century, while the Jail was finished only last summer. A few weeki ago I was told by the Sheriff that but cne psrson bad been locked np in its comfortable cells since tbe jail was completed, acd he had remained only for a few hours. This epnaks well for the present state of morals in Fairfax County. Some people attribute it to tbe fact tbat no liquor is sold in the township wherein the Court Housa ia situated. Toe ancient records of court proceedings in the county, which I have taken great interest in overhanling, show that innocence and temperance ?id not always prevail here; and tbey contain many curious entries, written cut in a splendid round hand, with ink that is ts black after ISO ) ears as if epread on the page last week or yesterday. Amocg other matters coming under the jurisdiction cf tbe gentlemen Justices who presided over the County Court was the ccbedule of cberees to be ma do by inkeepers. Here are tome of the raUs that were established on March 20, 1755: SM12!as. A Gallen of rum 8 A talion of Virginia peach brandy . 6 A gallon of New England rum - 2 Fence.

It would be well if the condition in the last item of the tchedule could be enforced nowadays in country taverns. Oa November 21, 1754. the Grand Jury presented John Cockiell of Tinro Parish "for not attending his parish church within two months last past, to the knowledge of two cf us." James Robertson of Truro was presented "for marrying tbe reported granddaughter of his former wife to the knowledge of two of us." Then this remarkable entry is found: We present the Surveyor of the road from Aecotink to L-ogue Hun on tne bacfc road for not baing in order aerecably to the Act of Assambly in tbat rase msde aud provided by ialormatiou of John Kcardon and WUliaa Liutou. The presentment ia copied literally, and yon can diaw your own inference as to wbether the Surveyor or the road was out of order agreeably to Act of Assembly. Worte than all, these records show indisputably that "George Washington of Mount Vernon" waa also presented by the Grand Jury cf Fairfax County for not keeping his roads in order. This part of the record ot the immortal Washington has been overlooked by historians, and it is with extreme reluctance that I publisn it to the world. The discovery was made a little while bafore the dedication of the tall monument, bnt it has been withheld until now for reasons tbat will occur to every patriot. Whether the charge was true or falss, it seems to have" been hushed up, for I have foond no record of further procee lings against George Washington of Mount Vernon. Nevertheless, whether he was punished cr escaped, the fact remains that the Father of his Country was actually presanted by the Grand Jury for an offence against the well being and order of the community in which he lived. BEST AND ItKOKEATIOM Should Consist cf Reversing the Strain Upon Parts Most In Ordinary Use. Dr. D. A. Sargent's Lecture. The exhaustion entailed by this basylife of ours is tremendous, and so depletes tbe nervous syBiem that disease is Invited, aad, the system being so exhausted, one falls an easy victim to the disease. Thus it is that recreation is absolutely necessary for the health of mankind. Recreation is that which, with the least expenditure of time, fits the person to resume bis work. The recreation must, cf course, vary according to the daily life ot the person. The organs not under the control of the will, such as the besrt and the secretory oreaus, receive rest' immediately after performing a duty, bat it is not so with muscles of the body. A good digestion is necessary for racreaticn. As long as nutriment is kept up, endurance is likely to continue. Digestion is always greatly aided by proper physical exercise, and it is thus that we mar- cay exercise is the best of recreation. Toe fundamental of recreation is a change from one class of work to another, the brain worker requiring muscular exercise and the mechanic brain work. Both classes will find a certain amount of emotional recreation to their advantage. It is well known that low spirits tend to lower the vital tone anl render cne liable to disease. Those most in need of recreation are those ec?8ged in work of a sedentary nature. Professional men should have recreation largely of a physical nature, A brisk walk is what a physician mo?t frequently recommends for eiercire, bat for a person not accustomed to exercise this is net always benehciai, for his brain being the only part of hia body that is kept in activity, the exercise forces the blood into the head, and he returns home with a eevera headache. Such a mat should tike a passive exercise, such as rowing, sailing, or hunting, where the mind could be in slight activity also. The majority cf men engaged in mercantile pursuits g?t enough physical exercise from their every day life, and their recreation ehonld be of a mental nature. A few days in tbe country, a change of society, is beneficial to every one. Stock brokers and bankers require a very quiet recreation, but instead tbey try to get their recreation from the most exciting of sports, which is really no change from tbeir daily lire. Merchants and clerks are recommended to attend lfgnt entertainments, such as concerts and lectures, or play cards, chess, checkers, or other games of that nature. Women and children, the former especially, rely too much on excitement for recreation, and carry it to euch an excess that it becomes simply dissipation. A distinction must bs understood between excitement which invigorates and excitement which exhausts. Dancing and roller skating are excellent exercipts. but under the excitement of the music is too often continued to exhaustion. "MoTnEit, did you say Ican'tgo to the rink to day?" "Yes, Mamie, I did." "Why, mother?" "Because you have been there every day three times for the past three days, and to mnch exertion will ruin your constitution." "Wby, I'm not a bit tired, mother." "Well, if you are not, come and help ma wash these dishes." "Oh, pshaw I I'm that kind of tired, bat not the skating kind." Bhe helped wash the dishes all the same. An ostrich egg weighs nearly thirty times as much as an average ben's egg; but to hear the hen's remarks after laying an egg one would suppose she had beat the ostrich ont cf eight It is a good deal the same way with human beings. Some will make more fu&s and brag over their little thin-shelled achievements than others do over an Inyea tion or work that becomes historical,

TUE CUIXFS: MISSION. CHARLES DESBY, OF INDIAN V. Colonel Charles Danby, of Evansvllle, Ind., has been .appointed Envoy Extaordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to China. He w.'il receive a salary of $12,000 a year. Hi" residence will be at Peking. About two months are given him to prepare for the long journey before him. He succeeds J. Russell Young in tbe appointment, which is one of great importance in its relation to American commerce, the question of the emigration of Chintse subjects and considerations afTectirgthe policy of China toward foreigners, in which the United States has considerable interest. Recent events in the history cf China have eerved to farther expand her relations with the leading nations of Europe and with this country. The mission to China is only eecond in importance to missions of the highest rank. The appointee ia eminent among tha leading lawyers of his State, a gentleman whose generous culture includes the fluent U3a of Fer.cb, the language cf diplomscy, and whose liberal views are accompanied by a genial disposition and large hospitality. In the appointment of Colonel Denby as Minister to China, the administration has exercised a ragacity commended by thoughtful men generally. Mr. Denby is a Virginian by birth. He w&s born ia the year 1830. His education included three years at Georgetown College, in the District of Columbia, After leaving tbat institution he entered the Virginia Military Institute, where he was graduated in l&f.O. In 1S53 he went to Eyansviile. and entered an.cthce as a student of law. at tbe came time editing a Democratic newspaper published in that city. He was elected to tha Indiana Legislature in 1335. Two years after he married a daughter of United States Senator Fitch, of tbat State. President Buchanan appointed him Surveyor of the Port cf Evansviile, an office which he be.'d three years. He was removed by Peddent Lincoln In the year 1SG1. When Fort Snmler fell he rataed a military compauy in support of tbe Union cause, and performed local service until September, 13GL, when he wes appointed Lieutenant Colanel of the Forty-second Indiana Volunteers. He was wounded at the battle of Perry vilie. where be had his horse killed under him. His promotion to be Colonel of the Eightieth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers followed so. in after that event In February, 1863, he resigned hia commission on account of physicol disability.

AN ACCOMPLISHED PARROT. Bt Sines TTltn Great Cleverness, sod Mixes Proverbs in True Dundreary Style. New York Tribune.l Around the door of a Sixth avenue bird store, near Twenty third street, was gathered the other day a crowd so large that it was a wort of several minutes to gain entrance to the interior. From within there proceeded a hoarse voice dasbed with a Busoicin of whisky, which bellowed in Irish-American brogne tbe enlivening etrains of ' "Peek a-boo." With each reiteration of "Peekaboo" the crowd hallowed with delight, and and ore small boy, in the exhuberent of his joy, tied himself into a sort of a knot aud roiled on the pavement Suddenly the inebriated Irishman" came to a dead stop and another voice, p'easanter in quality, sang tbe inspiring National ode, "Yankee Doodle" followed by the stentorian query and answer all in one, "How are the Pal Upsilon boys? O. they're ell right." A passer-by, puzzled at the scene, made bis way into the store and Boon solved tha mystery. In a large cage in the center was an enormous gre'en aad yel'ow parrot, whicn wts hanging by one foot to a swinging perch, and trolling forth in different voices with the ease of an accomplished ventriloquist He resumed a normal position as he was approached, and, flapping h;s wings, bellowed out: "Hurrah fcr Blaine and Logan!" Then, cocking his bead on one side, he dropped into a more conversational tone, and with a regular "Alice In Wonderland" air remarked: "It's never too late to mend a bird in the hand," and again, afier a pause, "It's a long Una tbat never won fair lady." His visitor affably remarked : "You are quite an accomplished bird, Polly," and quick as a flash the creature replied: "I can spell, I can. C a t. cat. D o g, fox," with an affectation ot iuvenility which was gruesome. He resented an ill-advised attempt at familiarity bj snapping at the finger which tried to scratch his poll and barked out: "Take care! I'm a bad bird, I am. You belcher life!'' "He's one of the cleverr st parrots I have bad for some time," said his owner, Mr. Holden. "In fact, he Is almost as good as Ben Butler, whom I sold to l'attu Hia steck cf proverbs Eeems inexhaustible, acd he makes them quite fanny by the way in which he mixes tnem up. I could not fregln to tell you all the things he says, but bis greatest accomplishment is hts singing. He is a double yellow head the only species of parrot which does sing.

CHICAGO MANIPULATORS. The Mont Fxclted Week of the Tear-The Balls Keep tbe Market Well la Band Cora and Provisions Follow Wheat Chicago, Jane 6. Tbe week on 'Changa has been tbe most excited of the year, with wheat tbe center of Interest. The bulla have managed to keep the reins well in band, however, and wito. tbe exception of a small set back Wednesday have held the team steadily on the upgrade. At the start the big "fborts" began to cover. Nat Joues bad all along been talking at 83c as the bottom price. Below SCc. however, the market went down bard and tbe Jones-Ream combination, who had been the most prominent fillers of the previous fortnight, quietly "flopped" and went "Jong." Gcssips put Keam's winning, at S-:o,0C0 snl Jones' at S IO0.OCO. At the turn Jack Cadaby, Eoich and little More Fraley were taken into the clique and before the boys got onto the scteme tbey bad sold themselves into a bole.

As usual, on an advancing market, outsiders have rusatdin tbeir orders, and tbe volume ol srieculatioa is lsrgtly iuereated. fco exoort deroancl hss Roruo up ytt, bot the belief Is bPCoinlDg general that it is cot sfe to stand "short" loncr.

Phil Amour, too, is aid to coutrol, cither direcly or through Epsieeton. fu ly ibrje-fourths of the wheat in store here, and of course is watching tbe speculative eitnatlon closely. EveryboJr ackcowledpcs the fine qualitv of the grain and that it can te easily carried imö next season, when it is tipected it will all be needed. Corn follows tbe leal of wceat, ani the only new feature developed has been the widening of tbe premium of June o7er Jalv.

The new crop is certainly very backward, and should any damtire happen tc it there is no telling where the advance mlkht not end. i'rovislons ere still sluggish, though tha interest in them is picking np. The elements of urenm this week have been a better long mat ket aad fymrathy with cereals. "How di the pickers stand now" is the question the crowd would Uke to have an&wered.
