When two min- utes and twélve seconds, this being Axtell's time, js done by a three-year-old stallion at a #trotbing —gait 1t means a rocord that will stand for many days. George Starr was be- hind Fathor John as a helper. Williams nodded for the word at the second_attempt, and the great flight was begun With the smooth action for which Axtell is noted, the first quarter was reached in 0:33. The clip was made faster to the half in 1:053 Thnirty-two and o quarter was the gait to the three:quarters post. Without a_falter he breasted the hill and turned into the stretch and the shout went up, ~ ‘“He will do it.” On he came, and with- out ‘a wabble or false stroke, he finished the mile strong in 2:12. Thus at one stroko he reduced the three-year-old record ono and throe-auarters seconds, and also the record for stallions at all ages, Pan- demonium broke lovse. The stretch was black with a shouting, yelling mob. Will- inms was takongrom the sulky and borue aloft on shouldérs, und cheer after cheer went up for the gallant colt and driver. T'ho ofticial timers wer cretary Stewner, of the American trotting association: A. E. Bush, of Detroit, and Colonel Conley, of Chicago. Their watches agreed exactly on all frac- tions of u mile.

This e refused and afterwards accepted Colonel Conley's offer with much reluctauce. Ths is the highest price ever paid in the world for a horse oi any description, It is under- 8tood that the great colt will go into Budd Doble's stable in the morning. The §105,000 purchase money is supposea to have been niade up by Messrs. I3rush and Moran, of Detroit, Colonel Conley or Budd Doble, and W. R. Tjams, president of the Terre Haute association.

Crops are largo and business heavy, and the commercial outlook most favorable, but money is comparatively close and there is a ility that it may be closer yet. New York thus far there has been no inerease, but rather a relaxation of the pressure, and foreign exchange is un- altered sinco last weelk, The outward movement of products 18 large, the exports from New York for two weeks exceeding last year's by 16,7 per cent, while the increase in imports is but 3 per cent, Large foreign investments of capital in American industrial interprises ave reported and of late no considerable forcign selling of securities, But the movement of money to the igterior continues large, the treasury forwarding $525,000 on Thursday. Reports do not ind icate increasing prossure in the in- terior money markets and the demand is active at all cities reporung. The supply at nearly all is ample and the anticipated rise in rates at Chicago has not yet ocourred. The volume of trade 18 incrgasine at nearly all interior points reporting, and this involves a large demand for money. ‘The bank clearings last week were 21§ per cent lavger than last year at New York, 2 per cent smaler at Boston, Philadelpnia and Chicago, the decrease being largest at Chi- cago, but 11 per cent. larger ‘at all the other cities taken together. T'his increase at poiats where speculative activity bas least influence indicates a greater volume of le- gitimate business than has ever been ro- corded at this scason in any previous year, and the heavy railroad earnings, 10 per cent avove last year for Soptember, tell the same story. ‘The great industries ara making progress. Several more furnaces of the largest size have gouo into blast since October 1, and the weekly output on that date was over 150,200 tons, agaiust 130,000 tous a year ago, an crease of 414 per cent in September and 1515 per cent for the year. In svite of the enor- nous production prices ave not only sustamed by consumption, but are slightly advanced, though southern iron is still sold here below £17 for No. 1, while $17.25 to £18.50 is auoted for northern. Bar iron is in better demaud, structural and plate works are crowded, and the sales of rails within ten days have have reactied 230,000 tous, many large com- panies having made their annual contracts for renevzals of track, The sales of wool at Boston have been 2,155,000 pounds and more demand is scen therc, but less at Philudelphia, where cor cessions in price are still thought nece: rovernment crop report was rather a surprise to many as it shifted the wheat esti mates from *a fraction over 12 1o 12.8 bush- axing the probable yield not much below 500,000,000 bushels, The corn re- rort ndicates the largest crop ever raised and the same may be said of cotton with the proper reservation that early frosts may not greatly reduce the outcome. With heavy crops business in all departments will be stimulated and at the same time the de- maud for money will be increased. Pork products are uot much changed, coffee and sugar a little weaker, oil and the minor metals substantially unchanged. 4 Another indication of the general pros- perity is seen in the large sales of boots and shoes, though prices were never so low at any previous time, and leather, just now quoted firm, is as low as atany time in thirty-five vears, ‘The coal trade 1s disappointing and actual prices are much under the schedule, while W are said to be 10 per cen lower than a year ago. At Pittsbur however, the trade is improving and the glass trade is good and factories of all kinds are better employed than a year ago. In the stock market there was a d until 7th, then some recove another sharp depression, v due'to continued weakness in trust stocks, but more lurgely to the monetary pressure and the more threatening state of the controversies at the west upon rate The comparatively slow movement of grain at present prices also has an influence, but the market for railrond stocks 'is so far freo from public interference, ana in such stro hauds, that serious depression has not been generally apprehended. The business failures during the last scv days number 214, as compared with 206 la week and 192 the week previous to the last. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 227. —— BLINDNESS IN ENGLAND, Steady Decrease in tho Rate—Causes of Loss of Vision. The number of the blind in the United Kingdom according to the last census was 32,2006, being at the rate of 879 blind persons per 1.000,000 of the general population, as compured with 950 in 1871, 964 in 1561, and 1,021 in 1851, The decrease in blindness would thus ap- v to be mradual but steady, says the London Times, even allowing for the fact that mauy who ve very defective sight and are practically blind object to return themselves as such. The number of those of school age in Eng- land and Wales is 1,710, or one thirteenth, a surprisingly small propor- tion, which points to the fact, well known to specialists, that blindness, as a rule, supervenes in later hfe, the average age of the blind being 49, Their general condition has been much im- coved of late years, owing to the alence of more enlightened no- tions and the increase of special insti- tutions. But the commissioners remark that, in spite of the large charitable funds and philanthropic efforts devoted to their welfare, they feel convineed much may be done to better the condi- tion of the blind, and render them more independent of churituble aid than at present, Accidents from flying pieces of stone or chips of metal are accountable for 53 per cent of injuries to the eye, and in the case of 4 to 43 per cent of such aeci- dents sympathetic inflanination of the remaining eye which so often se in leads to total ‘biindness, Shuttlc cidents, formerly very frequent, we dimimshed by the introduction shuttle guards and the number of ca; at the Royal Iiye hospital, Munchest decreased from twenty-oie in 1554 ninein 1885, Strong protective glasses of tale or mica or fine wire goggles are a valuable safeguard against such calam- ities, and early surgical treatment is of high importance. Geanular ophtha l- min in badly ventilated and badly lighted dwellings is another cause, but with proper sanitary precautions thisis preventible, and during the recent oc- cupation of Egypt no loss of sight from onhthalmia occurred among our troops, owing to the excellent care exercised by the medical staff. One of the most blindness is the causes of inflammation of the eyes of newly born infants, and the Ophthaimolo; 1 society estimated that 80 per cent of the inmates of insti- tutions and 7,000 persons in the United fraitful Kingdom had lost their sight from that onuse. Various specifics are mentioned by tho commissioners, but they all ap- pear to depend chiefly for their success on prompt application. - The Supdly of Uattle and Hogs. The Farmers’ Review of Chicago has made an netive effort, through a corps of correspondents in the west, to ascor- tain the increase or decreaso of eattie and hogs in the west a rod with lnst year. The following is its cattle suminary: Relative to the present supply of cattlo, as compared with that of last year, the renoris of our correspondents show a falling off of 2 10 5 per cont in lllinois, Indimnn, Ohio, Kentucky, Kansas, Nobraska, Michizan and Minnesoia. In Missouri, lowa and Wiscon- sin the number is about the same as last . Dakota shows an increasc of 4 per cent. Tho conaition of cattle is very good as o genoral rule. Tho proportion of cor: respondents reporting only “fair condition’ is about 10 per cent 1 Indiava, Ilinois, Ken- tucky and Kansas; in Nobrasia, 7 per cent; in Dakota, 15 p cont; in Olio, Missouri and Towa, 18 per cent; in Michigan, 80 per cent; in Wisconsin, 34 por cent, and in Min- nesola 57 per cent. In the stato last men- tioned, four counties report ‘“condition poor.”’ Mauy of the cattle are grass fod, and_Dodge county, Nebraska, reports the condition 8o good that but few animals will be fed grain, and that a lareer proportion thao ususl will be shpped from tho ranges direct. In many counties in Lilinois a goodly proportion of the best cattle have siready been marketed, the presont supply consisting of young animals, and many calves are being slaughtered for veal. In parts of Missoury, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Dakota cattle are thin on aceount of short pasturage. A good many farmers in the northwest have bogun to feed, but the short crop of hay in many localities will sond a good many uni- mals to market. In Kearuey and a fow othor counties in Kansas the reverse is true, and farmers are holding cattle to consuumio uhe urplus feed.

Newton, in American Agri turist: It does not scem to be gen ally understood that nearly all varieties of cutting can be easily callused or rooted before it is time to plant them in the spring. The cuttings are made in autumn, aftor the leaves fall, and tied firmly in little bunches of fifty or 100 each, Kach bundie should be marked by using two slips of pine, inted ou one side with white lead, or ow ochre, and the name distinetly written with a lead peneil in ,the fresh paint. This is covered by the other ship, and the two ave tied together with a piece of thread. This is fiemly tied in the bundle, and it will not be neces- sary to guess at the name of the cut- ings. They are stored through the winter either by placing on a bod of moist earth, butt end down, or in a trench two feet wide and four inches deeper than the height of the cuttings. The cuttings avo placed compactly in this trench, butt end up, and covered with three or fourinchesof rich garden soil. When the ground begins to freeze they are covered deeply with stabie manure, straw, or leavis, putting on enough to keep the frost from the cut- tings. In the spring this manure is re- moved, and the soil over the cuttings leveled. 1If it gets dry itis sprinkled with water and kept moist, not wet, and when the time comes to plant them, most varvieties will hav good roots started, while the buds ar dormant, and when planted they uve more sure to grov than if not so treated. The trench should be made on ground where water does not stand. For some of the choicer varieties of grapes, or other cuttings wanted early, a cold frame placed over the trench in the i fter the manure is taken oft, will forward them several days earlier. An Oad ssing Gam “I found a peculiar custom in Shep- herdstowm, W. Va., where Ispent my vacation,” said a gentleman to 1 Wash- ington Post veporter, *which was a novelty. The people have what they call *soups.” A soup is o sort of out- door picnie. Inch person invited brin dressed chicken. The host proviaes the vegoiables. The chickens and vegetables are put into huge kettles, holding ten to twenty gallons, and cooked over open fires for several hours until the combination is reduced almost toa jelly. Pepper and other seusoning are introduced. The young folks stiv the soup with long-handled iron spoons, walking around the kettle us they stiv When a giel’s spoon clicks against the spoon of o young man he 15 bound to sateh and Kiss her. As youean imagine, there are many lively scrimmages avound the kettle, Whén the soup is done it is ladled out into plates and eaten, and is delicious.

A company of Stonewall Juck- command wus ruited wround Shepherdstown and it still keeps up the organization. 1t has a rceunion every year and celebrates the occasion with'a grand ‘soup.’ A ‘soup’ of that company to be properly gotten up should be made of stolen chicle but the veterans have had to give up foraging since the war and now mwake a compro- mise with necessity by going around in squads and robbing ¢nch other's hen roosts by a preavranged understand- ing. son’s - e Mrs, Mackay's Wonderf London is marvellously entertainment re still given Mackay’s, says the St. Steph zette, It is true that the hostess her- self is not yet at howe, but a grand green parrot has sut at the open window since last Sunday, looki out to Buck- ing n Gate, and attracting hundreds by its humorous conduoet, 1 hav cn and heard many purrots, but never one like this, T was urning from hear ing Burns und Tillett in the park on Sunday when I first suw it.

Those who have heard a grand mass in o forergn cathedral wmust have fre- quintly remarked this feature of the service. In 1886 the church authorities of St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, Molbourne, however, boldly threw all ecciesinstical traditions nside, and, to tho great de- light of the congregation, lady chorist- ers made their appearance fully habit- ed in surplice and trencher—tho latter article of headgear, howover, it was re- marked, had been rounded off, and de prived of its sharp but characteristic angularities. “The effect,” remarked the Aus- tralian at the time, *‘was admirable on the whole, though the quiet composure that ought to distinguish a church audience was evidently ruftled in somo instances. -\ contributor to the Argus, who did not professto be a reguiar church-goer, found his gaze so attracted to the faces of the choir that he was un- able tolook on his book. A corre- spondent, however, who confessed him- self guilly of irvegular attendance at church, wrote in a_penitent strain, ap- parently after making a good resolution to reform. An old gentleman who, like Pickwick, does not lose with yes in susceptiblity, exclaimed, on leaving the building. *What a lovely service.” The innovation, however, was pro- nounced u distinet success, and as’ wo have mentioned, there isat least one church in the old country where laay choristers have proved fo be no less popular.
