CHICAGO'S SPECULATIVE TRADE.

Roll" Deal In tt heat-Corn Dall.De matd for Provisions From Abroad. Special to the Sentinel. Chicago, Jan. 22. A California clique, backed y the great Bank ol Nevada, are endeavoring to cjrineer a "bull" deal la the wheat pit on Change. All this weik they have been purchasing fceie, at New York and at Liverpool. Their Chicago iepreseuUtives aie Field, Llndley & Co. o far the deal 1 as cot teen a success. It was believed that the baying was started by drought on ice Pacific coasi and the resulting crop damage. Genera! and copious rains, however, have fallen throughout that country, acd dispatches say the drought reports have been terribly exaggerated. This has caused te dunpiag of wheat right and left by operators here who feared that these big blocks would come on the market. Their anx iety proved groundless, as the California millionaire cot alone held what grain they had, but iteadily added to it. Hutchinson and Norton A TVorthington were also purchasers, and after the arly decline prices have ruled pretty firm. Seahoard clearances show up well, an3, apparativ, just about offset the gloomy cable advices, which declare that, between the grain recently shipped Irom Atlantic ports and the sixty cargoes of California wheat due In Europe during the next thirty day?, foreign wants bave teen provided for until the grain from other fonntrkj thall Ret into sight. The very neager movement from first hands is tow a strong feature of the situation, and holders eonfidently expect Monday's risible supply statement to show another good decrease. Already, too, crop scare reports are beginning t float in -Irom sections of the winter wheat belt. Not much attention is paid to them, but the snow-fall has eeiUin y bet n light and the weather severe. Another item which renders shorts anxious la the little h'nti of war which each day brings in from abroad. Nobody believes there will be any actual fighting, but the effect of a drop In foreign securities would be the same. Corn is a stupid deal. The market is well evened Bp and cutside orders are scarce. The poik market is believed to be manipulated 'uT Armour. Keceipta of hogs are rather small, tut Use quality la improving, and the fact that the aggregate packing is nearly up O that of last ear shows there is no scarcity In the country Ihere has lately been an unexpected demand for hams and tut meats from abroad, and many operators have bought pork on the theory that the speculative market w.ll sympathize.

HUNGRY FOR SULLIVAN'S TITLE Card iff Will Fight tho Champion With Hare Knuckles Sheet! y Angry. 1 Minneapolis Special to the Herald. Tateey Cardiff is much elated over the remit of his glove fight with the "Boston Boy." lie expresses his readiness to meet Sullivan again, and said to a Herald correspondent this afternoon : "Sullivan can not knock me ut at all. In fact, I would be willing to meet him in a fight to a finish, London prize ring rules, with Email gloves or with bare knuckles. I will show the world as soon aa the champion is able to fight that I am not afraid of him. Did yon see me put my puws in his face in the first round the other night and draw blood on the Boston pride? I was surprised at my luck in hitting him in l?oth that and aubsequent rounds, and, hereafter, when i meet him yon can depend upon it I will force the fighting from start to finish. Will I meet Killen? Well, I don't have to; I'm looting for bieger game, and shall pay no attention to KUlen's offer to meet me for il.OOu in five weeks unless I get all the gate receipts if I win." Pat Sheedy, Sullivan's manager, was considerably exasperated at the charges of crookedness, and eaidt "People should be more considerate. If John hadn't broken his arm they would have found out that it was no hippodrome. That arm has earned a good many thousands of dollars, and is worth a good many more. Feople don't give Sullivan credit for the pluck he showel. Its mighty few men who would stand up Lnd iace a hard hitter like Cardiff for five rounds With a broken arm. He can not do any work for a while, any more than stand np and let the people look at him. When he -2ets out ef the sling he c ta throw his arm behind him and give exhibitions with one hand, like La Blanche did when we were here before. Will John meet Cardiff a?in? Ican'ttelL Not for a good many monthi to come." BCLLIVAS'B ARM li GOOD, f New York Sun.1 Dr. Lewia A. Sayre, of No. 235 Fifth avenue, has had greater success in curing fractures than any other surgeon in the country. He is looked upon and quoted by the medical profession as an authority on fractures and deformities. A Herald reporter showed Dr. Sayre jesteröay the certificate of the surgeons in St. Paul, Minn., on John L. Sullivan's broken arm. "Do you think, doctor, that Sullivan can ever use his broken arm as eflectlvely asbeXo'Othe break?" Tooh! Why, certainly, if the only injury 3s the breaking of the radius, as set forth in ihe certificate." "You. know," continued the distinguished aurgeon, "that I hold mewhat different Tiews cn fractures of the bones than those held by the profession generally. And my Tiews are mstained by the best possible facts statistics of cured cases treated accordleg- io rny directions. Now, if Ballivan has only broken the radius of his arm and it is properly set in six or seven weeks he can cold it out as ftound as any other member of Iiis body. He can do just as ef! active work WlUt it, too, without trouble to himself.

You Ear the breik was caused by the swinging öf the arm on the head. I suppasa Sullivan wanted to catch his opponent oa the jugular vein. With a man of his weight and muscle that would, I think, settle anybody. It is very easy to break the arm in that way. lie swings his hand for the neck, and hia opponent catches the blow on the Lead. The duck of the head brings it down, and, instead of striking the head with the hand, the full force of the blow comes on the arm between the wrist and elbow the best way in the world to break the radius.

"You see, the hand is attached to tae radius, and the radius works in the elbow, around the ulna. This gives man the ability to turn the back of his hand to his month. It seems that is the position when the right hand is "swung.' The list is turned to let the knuckles strike the neck. Now, the only thing necessary for Sullivan to do is to have his arm 6et bo that the palm of the hand is toward the mouth. The splints or plaster cast should go above the elbow to prevent the turning motion. He can exercise his arm at the shoulder aa much as he pleases. At the end of six weeks Sallivan will De himself again. "Now," conclnded the doctor, ''some oi the profession contend that a complete fracture necessitates a shortening of the limb when it is cured. I say no In the most positive terms. While yon can not always prevent ahortenine, still, with proper extrusion and then retrusion yon can nearly always prevent shortening. I do not believe Suluvan will be the least hurt in his fighting qualities by the accident. He is a plucky fellew." MM. SfLUVAX'S OriSIOX. ! Boston Special to the Oerald.l A letter from Mrs. John I Sullivan, dated Centreill, R. I., January 20, was received in Boston to-day. After referring to her property in this city, she says: "I see by the New York Herald that Sullivan says he has a broken arm and cm not tight. It is all a lie. I know his old d wlgei, and this is one of them. Patsey Cardiff wis too much for him, and he invented the lam? arm idea to save himself from a big whipping. I remember one time when he met Mitchell he told me the Englishman would have 'done him up' In one more round. Trt 1 John I, all over. He jumps at a roan at the start and usually finishes him in the first or second round, or make? him unable to do wuch fighting. If he fails to U3e his enemy up at the end of three rounds Sullivan grows scared, loses his wind and cries babv, the way be did in Minneapolis. I tell you'that Patsey Cardiff can whip John L., and 1 am glad of it. He is a big brute and a coward." TOE OHIGISALTCRPIE MJLX. Senator Zlmmerman'a Speech on Tuesday in the Senate. Senator Zimmerman's speech on Tuesday seconding Judge Turpie's nomination is considered one of the best delivered in either bouse. He is the original Turpie mn in the Legislature, and has always been an enthusiastic admirer of the Judge. His remarks were as follows: Me. Fefmmst Were T to remain sileut on this imporUnt occasion and not mingle my humble voice with others on this lloor in tne approval of our distinguished Senatorial nominee, my constituency would ever after, and justly, too, charge roe wiih unpardonable negligence m the discbarge of a eaxred duty. . The counties ot Marshall and Fulton, which T v. o .o tK hnnnr tn rprrpsent here, constituted once a part of the old Eleventh roncressional Oistrict. where the name and lame of the Hon. David Turjiie will live perpetual in every housebold. A, . , Mere than twenty years ago. at the October e'ection in the rear of lM'.f, I was pormitted for the tirst time to participate in the exercise of the prerogative of American citizenship. I bad then the pleasure of casting my first vote for Mr. Turpie for Congress. Two years thereafter, in the j ear lSVs, I did. with increased pleasure, deposit mv ballot with the came of Turpie for Con gress thereon. This was during me exciuoR aays of the reconduction period, wLen popular sentiment was blind to reason, and when to be a Democrit and on the forum in Northern Indiana required nerve and unilinching devotion to principle. Subjugated and di.ifraichised. and governed by negro Legislatures, led by usurping preten lers from the North and supported by Federal bayonets, the Southern people lay prostrate and helpless at our feet, appealing to the conservative element of the North for mercy. Turpie. young, brave and honest, was the man of the hour. It was then, when in his memorable joint debate with the late Schuyler l oiiax, he attracted the breathless attention of the entire country when he raised his noble voice, earnest and fearless in behalf of an abused and downtrodden people, pleading, not for mercy, but as only a statesman would pleading for justice and the restoration ol the Inherent constitutional rihU of a people. Alexander the ireat, when asked to whom he wihed to leave his vast empire, answered: "To the to oil worth v." The Democracy of IndiAna, in choosing Mr. Turpie as it candidate for 1'aited Stute Senator, hau, in my opinion, conterred the high honor upon "the most worthy." es, the most worthy as jurist and statesman, and the mr.st worthy as patriot and cltien. And when the plad ti.linRS of Mr. Turpie's nomination by his party's caucus swept with lightning sptedover the silent prairies and forests of Northern Indiana there was unbounded and universal rejoicing among the Democracy of that m tion of ihe state. And when he shall be triumphantly elected, as certainly he will be. tho trumpets will be sounded, drums be beaten, and cannon will boom and hallelujahs be'snng, and the Toaring waves of Like Michigan, dashing with mighty force against the shores of the proud old Uoosier State, will swell the great chorus In Honor of the glorious event. I heartily second the nomination. Legislative Small Talk. Ex-Senator Eell. of Fort Wayne, has a joke on President Smith of the Senate. He says that on the morning of the first joint convention Mr. Smith took the arm of the muscular and brawny Door-keeper of the Senate and marching forth from the Senate chamber valiantly exclaimed, "Make way there for the Senate." Mr. Bell says he could have been as valorous had he the farce backing. Mr. Jewett, during the reading of the House journal, objected to President Smith's being referred to in the record of the proceedings of the joint convention as "Green." Hon. A. G. Smith would be correct," remarked Mr. Jewett. Mr. Askren, the Democratic Repreientative from Harrison County, was caught nappiDg yesterday during the call of the roll in the joint convention. When his name was called he inadvertently followed Mr. Alexander, whose name precedes his on the roll, and responded "Benjamin Harrison!" but quickly corrected :- i !f by shouting David Turpie." Tuere was a general laugh at bis eiatiise The rule requiring the presiding officers in both branches to call the houses to order on time is being more honored in the breach than in the observance.

A SLAVS TRADE INCIDENT.

One of the Thrilling Romances of the Mis-al.sii-pl Au Iogeniou Attempt. fSL Louis Eepublican.! 'In the fall of 1351)," taid an old citizen of 8t. Louis yesterday, "having business in the city of New Orleans, I engaged passage on the steamboat C. A., one of the largest steamers then on the river. Ste was commanded by Captain , a genial gentleman, and one of the most popular captains of that day. The boat waa originally built for a ireightcarrier alone, and after a few years in the business had been remodeled, so as to accommodate a few passengers. The ladies' cabin was in the place usually called the texa?, and was approached from the boilerdeck by a wide stairway. The quarters allotted to the male passengers were a short cabin extending from midship forward. The cabin had beeD the quarters of the officers while the boat was a freight boat, and afterward a small cabin had been built m the rear of the deck-room for them. "There were about a dozen Fas9eRer3 oa the boat six of them ladies among them a lady with two young daughters, wbo had been pieced in my charge. I am thus explicit for the better understanding of the true story which I am going to relate. "The first few days ot the trip were pleasant enough. We passed Cairo and were below Memphis when my attention was attracted to a peculiar appearing man. In my visits to the ladies of my charge I had observed this strange-looking genius, who was always seated on a sofa in the rear oT the cabin. My attention wan more f specially directed to him by the complaint ot one of the lady passengers, who said that this man was continually present, ard, the cabin beirg small, he was in the way. Sa I conclnded to interview him and ascertain, if possible, his reanon for haunting the ladies' cabin and never showing up amons the mal, pssser.gers. I asked him where he had boarded the boat. He said in St. Louis, and that he had been living in Kansas. I informed Lim that it was against the rules of the boat for a man to take up hia quarters in the ladies' cabin unless accompanied by a lady. He said: 'I ham t got no lady, but l have got a gal leastwise, a n!g;er gal.' Whereupon he called to a little girl who was playing with some children near by. The child approached him very unwillingly, as if frighten Bd, bnt he placed his hand on her Shoulder and said: 'This is my little gal. I am taking her down South to sell her. I bought her on a spree, and have no use for her. I could not get what she was worth where I lived, so I thought I would take her down South, where nipgers is high.' "They were a strange-looking couple the man about forty years old, dressed in a suit of blue jeans, well worn, and on his bullethead a crimson plush cap. fitting almost as tight as his own scalp. He had a long, thiu face, rit like eyes, and 8 nose that almost defies description. The child seemed to be about eight years old, and small for her age. Her hair was very short, and looked as if it had been singed with a hot iron and then blackened. She had large blue eyes, and a complexion such as I never saw in my life. It was of a dirty brown, approaching a mouse color, something like the discoloratiqu produced by takinsr nitrate of silver. She was dressed in the usual style of farmers' children in the winter. "In the afternoon, while the boat was steering past the shore of Arkansas, a number ot gentleman passengers were sitting forward on the boiler-deck in conversation. I noticed the Kansas man sitting near the company and seemingly much interested in tbe lalk. After the party broke up he approached me and inquired: 'Are you a Southerner?' I told him I was. He then bm he had heard that black nicrjrers were worth a heap more than white one3 in the South, and if he could get a partner that was all right he had a plan to make money. T informed him very shortly that I knew no one of mv acquaintances who I thought would like to engage in business with him, and left him. "The stateroom allotted to me was in the frnnt mrt of the cabin, being one of the rooms oria-inallr occupied by the engineers. thev haviDtr the room I was in and the one immediately in the rear. In the bulkhead, or partition, separating the two rooms had hom nlared a window-pane for the con yenience of the officers who occupied the two rooms. On the morning after the day that I had the talk with the ci-devant negro merchant I woke rather early, and, turnin over in the berth, my face came opposite the window in the partition, which, previous to this time, had been closely covered irom the adjoining room. The covering was rartlv disnlaced. leavins a small aperture, through which I conld see that the Inmate of tbe room was up and mnvin? around, and my attention was aroused by hearing the voice of a child in seeming distress, and then the voice was hushed, as if a hand had been placed over its mouth. On looking through the glass I saw my queer acquaintance engaged in staining tbe child from head to foot, bhe wa entirelvnude. and the operator had a large bnltie of dark-colored fluid in one hand. while in the other he held a sponge. He painted her over with several coats before he was satisfied with that part of his work. Then he took from his black carpet-bag a smaller bottle, the contents of which he ap plied to her hair with a brush. After this he dressed the child and put her out of the room, telline her to go to the ladies' cabin. "Immediately after breakfast I went to the captain and told him what 1 had seen. and mv suspicions in regard to the man and his white negro. The ladies were informed of what had taken place, and volunteered to take the child in hand and find out all she could tell of herself and the man in whose possession she was. In the meantime I hunted up the"fellow, and. remembering thi adage, 'in vino Veritas,' I thought 1 would try the virtue of steamboat whisky to loosen his t0D2ue. it was almost a nopeiess joo, for he held the fluid like a demijohn, and it made about as little impression on him as on a jug. He told rae his plan of business, thoueh. It was this: here 1 live I can buv white niggers cheap for almost noth Ine: and thev tell me that black niggers are hiffh in the South. Now. I have discovered a way to black 'em and; io kink their heads so no one can discover it till I can get away from v,here I sell 'em. and it won't take but a few trips till I will have a bushel ol monev.' The ladies, wxtn the assistance ot tne captain's wife, had taken charge of the little girl, and, after relieving her mind of her fears for she was in great terror of the man they found that she had been an inmate of an orphan asylum in Kansas, and that tbe man had taken her from the asylum for the purpose of adopting her as his child. His story was that he lived in Iowa, and that he and his wife were without children and wanted a nice little girl to rai.ie. The little girl, .relieved of the presence of the man, told a great many conclusive facts which could not be doubted, and. after a critical examination by a physician who was on the boat, she was pronounced, without doubt, a white child. "The man with the red cap was locked In a'state room, and one of the steamboat hands E'ut as a guard at the door. His black carpetag was examined and found to contain a lot of recipes for dyeing black, along with the two bottles, on which were labels from a dyeing establishment in St. Louis. "About dark on the day when the discovery was made the boat landed at a woodyard in Arkansas, near the Louisiana State line, and while there a large number of Inhabitants, who had been deer-hunting, came aboard the boat, and, on hearing the story, concluded that they would hang the speculator. So they held a meeting, at which numerous speeches were made and a great many straights imbibed, and then moved on the enemy confined in the stateroom. In the meantime some one on the boat, not wanting to see the villain receive the punishment he justly deserved, went to the room in which he was confined, and, informing him of the condition of affairs, advised him to flee, at the same time opening the back door for him. There was an np-rlver boat wooding about 600 yards above where we were landed, and we could plainly ee Lh light ot her torches. In the great

number passing and repassing on the etage carrying on wood the fugitive was not recognized. It Cid not take long for the avengers to discover his eseaps, and to start on the hunt for him, and soon the forest resounded with the shouts of the men in pursuit. Redcap, however, had a good start, and succeeded in gaining tho other boat just as she pushed out. "The child was, by the charity of the ladies, dressed decently, and all the black that could be removed was scrubbed ofl her body, showing conclusively that she was a white child. When the boat landed at Natchez Bhe was placed in the asylum, much egaicst her desire. On the next trip of the boat the excellent captain and his wife visited the asylum to see the little wait, and were so charmed with her appearance, and the child showed eo much delight at seeing them again, that they concluded to take her home with them, which they did at once, they having no children. They took care of the little ere, eeut her to school, and when she became fully grown she was married from their house in St. Louis to an estimable yourg man of this city. They have now been married some years, and are much respected-In the community in which they live."

Jim Christy's Nap. TNew York Sun.1 A small party were sitting one night in the cold-room at the Gilsey. chattincr about po litical matters. There were two members of Congress, two men who had held important offices under the Government, a well-known Washington speculator, and perhaps three or four more, ine night wai b:u3:erin?. The big corridor ot the notel was deserted, for it wm some time past midnight, and the party were just about to brt ak up and go ti bed when there appeared in the doorway a dripping form, who stood looking at the gentlemen as tliouga waiting to be addressed. Iiis tall beaver nat was cohered with a water-proof protector, and a gutta-percha coat that reached almost to hu feet shore in the gas-light, because it was thoroughly wetted. The man held a whip in one li8nd, and with the other touched his hat as he was asked what he wanted. "I couldn't get the party out," he replied. "What party?" "The cent that I took from here to the midnight train for Washington. I opened the dcor of the cab when we got to Desbrosses street ferry and the gent was sound asleep, gents, on the seat. 1 shook him. but he only gave one Dig snort, ana woman t wake up. l says to mm: i ou u lose your train.' esvs I. cents, 'unless you wake up, but he wouldn't pay no attention. He's too big to lift out, gents, and so 1 waited till the 12 o'clock boat went, then I drove him back." "Who is he?" asked a Congressman. "Party I took from here. You know him." 4 Where is he?" "In the cab at the door, sound a3leep, and I drove back pretty fast, cents, to see if the jolting wouldn't stir him up, but no use." 1 don t see wnat an mis is to uv saia the other Congressman. You know mm. l can t let mm sieep in my cab all night. Gent would be angry when HC ItU&ü UJJ. lug vuovi juu iiaouuwii men. Bsg man with curly hair, and I beg pardon, gents, but he do snore sd loud that I beard him while l was anving. Snore? It's Jim." said several of the gen tlemen in a breath, and they all went out to the cab. Sure enoucb. it was the jolly, eoodnatured and most efficient Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. Jim Chmty, who ha3 more friends and is better known to politicians, perhaps, than any other officer in the service of the Government. The question was how to get Jim out of the hack. He was perfectly sober, for he is a verv temperate man. but ne is known far and wide for extraordinary power of sound sleeping when . once he goes to sleep, tnonzh duriDZ tne aay ana eariy evenice he is one of the mo3t active and ener petie of men. When Jim Christy eoe3 to bleep for the mgnt a cannon urea unaer nis . mm. ..I-J--! ear wouldn't awaken him. Then, lie Is a man of verv ample girth. It is no trilling iob for him to get into a hack, and when his . . . . . . . i inenas saw mm sleeping mere a auuuu. deen and most resonant sleep (for which characteristic he is a1) famous) they thought they bad their night s work before them. Thev shook him, and tickled his ears and nose without avail, and it wa3 at least half an hour before they got him out of the hack and into the elevator and to bed. Word was left at the office to call him in time to taue the first train to Washington. In the morning a bell-ooy entered tne room fonnd Jim rubbin? his eyes. "What's the matter with the train.'" ne a ed. "What are we stopping for?" The bov rolled the whites of his eyes at Jim (so Christy afterward said as he laughirgly told the story) and suggested a cocktail, but when Jim said he never drank the youth was about to flee. Then Jim caUei biro back, asked him to black his boots, take down his hat from the rack, and just then it dawned upon Jim that he was not in a s.'efj icg-csr at all. He jumped from bed, ran to the window, and, turning, glared at tbe boy, asking if there had been an accident In the night. The bell-boy lied to the ofiice and reported that there was a very arbitrary gent in the room, which report seemed confirmed by a furious ringing of the annunciator bell. The clerk went himself to the room and. explained to Mr. Christy. Jim was pretty angry with himself at first, and asserted that his friends had been playing a trick on him. but when he became coavinced that he had permitted himself to go to sleep In the cab he laughed, and said that he ought to have known better than to allow himself to go to Bleep till he got into his berth. He added that he had a faint recolleHlon of some disturbance in the tight. but thought ther"e had been some accident or other on the tram. Chrity was so pleased with the joke and so fond of hearing about it that he invited the gentlemen who found him asleep in the hack to dine with him at Cbamberlin's, that he might hear them tell about it. Christy is one of the characters of Washington. He has served in the .Senate for nearly twenty vears. and no whirl of politics has ever affected htm. He is as secure in his place as old Captain Bassett.who has been fifty years an assistant door-keeper, t nristy is irom ew Hampshire, and is suspected of voting the Republican ticket, but he ne ver talks politics. He weighs very nearly 3X pounds, and it is with the utmost wonder that senators see him skipping aronnd the floor of the Senate, jumping up-stairs two at a time, with all the agility of an athlete, uaeoi nisuuuesis the charge ol the pages oi tne oenate, anu ue makes them hustle. He may sleep sound at night, but there is no more vigilant eye or untiring body during the day than his. Christy looks after each Senator's comfort as a young mother over her child's. He knows every whim, crotchet, or fancy of each Senator, and in the most delicate way he humors it. He early learns what bores and annoys new Senators, and takes very great pains to see that such trials are spared them. He Is invaluable. He is a genius in his way, and Senators know how much they are indebted to him for taking petty thorns out of their path. But he is no toady: he never fawns.
