UNION STOCKYARDS, IiL, Feb. 26—Al- | though this week’s receipts of cattle were only 45,000, agalnst 47,843 last week, a bad market has been experienced, and prices were weak and largely 10c per 100 pounds lower. The quality was poorer than ever and only a small percentage of the beet steers s0ld as high as $5. One carioad of extras brought $525 and the next best sales were at 8515, Exporters and Eastern shippers have taken hold more. sraringly, and this has given local dressed-bee ! concerns a chance Lo sup- ply their wants at slightly lower figures. The day’s market was of the usual Friday order. Only about 2500 were received, but there was enough 10 suppiy the demand, and prices showed no. im- provement. Hogs have continued to arrive in good numbers and prices rose Lo the highest polnt this wee< that has been reached in a long tim-, prime weights bringing 83 76. The quality of the offerings was never better and the bulk of the hogs seil within a | very narrow rauge aud packersare tuking all ihey can get. The strengtn receatly displayed received A check to-day and prices Lroke aboui b cents on Teceipts estimated at 31,000. At the' decline the market was .alrly active. Sheep recelpts have not been extensive this week, baving run along pretty evenly with last week, but were considerab y under those of a year ago. "The demand has continued active at firm prices, sheep ruling s:ronger than lambs. Trade was good at steady prices lo-day.

Fine Specimens of Humanity Who Fol- low Curious Customs. Physically the Dyaks of Borneo are a | fine race, and it is said that some of the women are preity even to European eyes, though many of the ladies would nort, perhaps, be regarded as belles in a Lon. aon ballroom. They have great admira- tion for tluency of speech and their ora- tory is flowery. The marriage customs are very curious, but tne prohibited de. grees (which seem to be strictly ob. served) are much the same as our own. A Dysk may not marry his deceased | wile’s - sister, nor, by the way, may he marry his first cousin. Divorce is exceed- ingly frequent, and is nearly a matter of mutual arrangement. Superstition has almost the force of the law, and when a couple are newly married, if ‘a deer utter acry at night near the house at which they are living they must separate at once and finally, or else the death of one of them would ensue. Yet, notwithstand- ing the lightness of the bonds which unite them, husband and wife are often deeply devoted to each ofher; and there is a story of how, when & man was seized by an alligator, his wife sprang into the river shrieking, *‘Take me also,” and dived down at the spot whera she hud seen the alligator sink with his prey. Sheswam about in ail the places most re- sorted to by the ferocious reptiles in tne hope of dying with her husband, and it was with difficulty that her friends forci- bly removed her from the water. Some of the Dyaks burn their dead,the ceremony being accompznied by various offeriags intended to propitiate the ghost | of the deceased. Tue tribes by the séa, however, generaily resort to burial, often after a sort of Iying-in-state to which the corpse is dressed in clothes richly orna- mented. In one or two districts there is a custom of letting boats drift out to sea containing various articles belonging fo the deceased, whose soul is supposed in this way to travel to some ungnown world beyond the oceun. In former days = slaye woman was sometimes chained down in thes- death boats and the Malays from neighboring isiands used to bs on the lookout for them, so that they —ight ob- tain boat, slave and proverty free of ex- pense.—Newcustle (Ene.)
