Cows and heifers are firm , stockers and feeders strong. Nothing choice is here today , although numerous sales last week were made at $6.00 to S6.25 with the top for the week at $6.35 , on Tuesday. The action of the market last Teek is taken as a good sign by feeders , as while there was a moderate decline up to Wednes day , account of heav } * runs all around , as soon as the supply dropped off a strong demand de- \eloped , and steers sold Thursday and Friday 10 to 15 cents above Wednesday's sales. It was the Siine way in stocker and feeders , while cows and heifers remained > f > ' firm all week , showing only a trace of weakness on Tuesday.

Montgomery , Ward & Co , and Shears & Sawbuck Way ! Sears and Sawbuck kept a store Such as never was before. City folks thojr wouldn't cell , Wouldn't lot them have a smell. Fetched their money but by jing Coul\ln't buy a blessed thing ; Couldn't meet 'em face to face An' then sell 'em with good grace Country trade was what they sought , Folks who'd pay for what they bought 'Fore they saw it , hide or tall. They sent catalogues by mall Out to every blessed one Gcttin' mail at POSMHII Run. We set Up at night and read When we'd orter been to bed , Jook was 'hout as big as sin- lad a lot of pictures In. lad a list of merchandise , Sv'ry kind and ov'ry size Givln' prices that they pworo vnookcd out ov'ry country store , looked so straight and teemed so true bit at It Jim did , too Urn's my neighbor 'cross the way- Jest man over worked in huy , Just lot him top oft a stack Sheds rain like a turtle's back. Pleasure jlst to see him work , Never know ol1 Jim to shirk : Swings a scythe like it was play vo to watch him In the hay. Well , we , like a pair of fools , Sent oil got some hayin' tools.

Jim said after that ho'd stick ' lose as bark to good ol1 LJIck ; Since he left the Possum jail Says ho won't buy goods by mall. ' Says Dick's cheaper , anyhow Might have saved some on the plow. Qn the other goods sorno more , At his ol'Jricnd's hardware store. Jim says , "Wo can't soli no truck To slch folks as Shears-Gawbuck , They'll lake all our cash away , But won't buy our corn or hay.1' That seemed purty strange to me , Sol told ol'Jim I'd sec- Sol wrote to them that night Just to see if Jim was right. Ast 'em "what they'd pay for outs':1 : Could they use some likely shouts V Had about four tons of hay I could ship 'em right away. Could I furnish Mr. Shears With his family rotislln' ears ? Also would my friend Sawbuck Huy some of my garden truck ? " Answer came one summer day , Said they "Couldn't use our hay , Couldn't use our oats or shoal ? , Didn't like our oilly goats. When they needed truck to eat Bought it down on Water street- Sorry , but they must refuse Anything but cash to use. " I sat down and wtoto 'em then : "Elate 10 trouble you again , But I want to thank you , sirs , For your bunch of cockle burrs.

It isn't nlways policy to believe Lhe man who tolls you what he would do if he wore in your place. The woman who IIIIR bofno and who has reared as they should bo reared a fam'ily of children has in most emphatic manner deserved well of the ' Kepnplic. ILer burden - don has been heavy , and she lints been able to bear it worthily only by ( he possession of resolution , of oed sense , of cniiHcionco and of uiiBoltlshnoss. Pitch in and work at something , ind you will feel in null happier than idling the hours away in fruitless speculation. IVn't lot your income become an outgo and you will become rich. Clothes do not make the man but they have the first crack at nwlmig impressions of the mini. To bo a great man it is necessary to turn to account all opportuni ties. Most people would fall short if measured by the golden rule. A young man always sneers at the love affairs of a widower. Too many people are attracted by the Hash li ht of diamonds. Be riot too presumptuously euro in any business , for things of thie world depend on such a train of. unseen chances that if it were in man's hands to sot the tables still he would not be ' 'ottain to win the game.

Mr. John son has collected one of the finest private galleries in the world and as connoisseur he has few living equals. "A young impressionist , " said the painter , "got John U. Johnson to visit his studio last year. ITo showed his latest picture and tried to get Mr. Johnson to huy il. Herald po litely that ho I bought the picture was not good. "This BO annoyed the impression ist that ho lot his temper get the better of him. Ife paid hotly : " 'After all , Mr. Johnson , what do you know about pictures ? You never painted any.

A load Hph about ijio sixo of a 1m- 7iian .linger was roccivcd at the mufccum of the lish commission at "Washington , with which there is connected an interesting fclory. It is stated that the lifih was found in a dosed oyster shell , which was pur- rlinscd by .Mr. John II. .Miller , of No. Ml (1 ( street southeast , when be secured u lot of the bivalves in the sboll from a dealer. While opoiiing the oysterd Mr. Miller found Iho lish inclosed between the shells. II was nlivo mid ho carried it to the mu seum. It was placed in an ammriuni , and to-day is reported to be "well and thriving. " It is paid the toad lish , which h an ugly looking member of the iinny tribe , can live several hours out of the water. The theory is that tbo fish was hatched from an egg which became accidentally imprisoned in the oyster shell. PRESS AGENT'S ILLUSION. At a meeting of press agents and advance agents the other night one of tbo most noted of these gentry briefly explained his theory of "pushing a show. " "Tbo important thing , " he said , with a burst of commendable frank ness , "is not to destroy our own il lusion about the piece. I make it a point never to sec any play that is under my charge.

"BLIZZARD" IS AMERICAN. "Blizzard" is an American word. -The date and circumstances of its origin are obscure. Though it waa first commonly used by the Ameri can newspapers as n good \vord for a snow squall in the winter of 1880- 188J , it is said to have been known [ o ( bo Avcst in that SOIIEO nearly 20 years earlier. From an English writer of 1SIM this sentence in quoted : "A gentleman at dinner asked mo for a toast , and , suppos ing ho meant to have some fun at my expense , 1 concluded to go ahead and give him and his likes a bliz zard. " Ucrc "blizzard" might well mean a metaphorical volley , which would square with the evidence of a correspondent of an American pa per , who recalled ( hat in the MOa a "blizzard"vas a particular kind o volley a rattling ono fired in quick' succession , as opposed to a aimul- tancous "broadside" affected by sportsmen on the Atlantic coast , who 1 ahot at flights of migratory birds ' from behind screens. REFORM IN BRITISH NAVY. 1 A The quarter deck of a Ilritish warship - > \ ship has been clotud to the common seamen , so far as a rise in rank is | concerned , from time immemorial. A reform in this respect is about to be inaugurated by the admiralty. Promotion from the lower deck is to bo made not only possible but something in the regular course of events. The system of promotion is to bo similar to that which exists in the army and il in proposed that not only shall a certain limited num ber of commissions bo granted an- naully , but that those upon whom they are conferred .shall be afforded every opportunity of rising to the higher ranks nntl not merely remain lieutenants in mime. Such a sys tem , it is urged , would encourage young men of education and intelli gence to exert their best abilities on behalf of ( be toniee.
