A YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.
Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's
aflcctiou na her daughter just budding into
womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our
daughter, Blanche, now 15 years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire uso of her right arm. She
was in such a condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les-
sors. !n fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
wotud have had that terrible affliction. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
ben tit from them. The lirst of last August she
weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs loti pounds; her nervousness and symp-
toms of St. Vitus dance are entirely gone, alio
attends school regularly, and studies with com-
for1, ai'd ease. She has recovered complete use
o;' livT arm, her appetite is splendid, and no
moiu y could procure for our daughter the health
Ur. Miles' Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the remedy
1 had rm ,aith in patent medicines, and would
not listen to him, but us a last resort he sent us
a bottle, we began giving it to Blanche, and the
effect was almost immediate."—Mrs. K. It,

Chicago, Sept. 15.—Aside from the
flurry caused by the irregular and uu-
iutelligible government report on corn
and fears of early frost it has been
very discouraging week to holders of
wheat. Wo are not suffering alone,
its apparently epidemical, all outside
markets report same story. We have
very little to add that already stated
in our letter of last week as causes for
this depression and regret to say the
conditions governing the present
market are anything but encouraging.
The local stocks are accumulating at
an enormous rate, while reports have
it that quite a large surplus is left
over from last crop in India, Aus-
tralia and Argentine. The prospects
of a crop for latter country is 20 per
cent better than last year. Exports
of breadstuff's show a decrease of over
50 per cent, while foreigners continue
to manifest little or no interest on this
side. Speculation continues within a
decidedly narrow grove. Exports,
wheat and flour, 2,789,000, against
3,207,000 last week. There is one sat-
isfactory feature about further decline
in prices it will certainly increase
consumption for animal food and
prove attractive to investors.
New York, Sept. 15.—Liverpool
was the vulnerable point. The de-
cline there, surprising as it was, did
much to precipitate the decline here.
Prices dropped two points in Liver-
pool and six to seven in Mew York,
closing steady here. The sales were
68100 bales. The receipts at the ports
were also an element of weakness,
being estimated at 16,195, against
9626 this day last year. On the same
(lay in 1891 they were 19591. showing
that the receipts today more closely
approximate those ol the big crop
years. Houston receipts moreover
were 6450, against 3979 this day last
year, local selling for good account
and also hammering by some of the
(iermau houses aggravated the weak-
ness while decline was also in a meas-
ure due to Liverpool selling. Good
many stop orders were caught on the
way down; weather at south was gen-
erally clearer. The Chronicle report
today is bullish. It says that in Tex-
as and numerous points in the Miss-
issippi valley and along the gulf there
has been too much rain and damasre
from rust, worms, rot and shedding is
also claimed in portions of Tennessee,
Alabama and Arkansas, while Liver-
pool doubtlfess had this report the
first thing this morning but ignored
it. The dominant seetimenthere is so
bearish that Europe is flooded with
big crop estimates and favorable crop
reports. But many consider the price
very low; cotton goods lairly active
and firm. Some of the weak and long
interest was weeded out today aud at
the same time short interest was in-
creased. Encouraged by larger crop
movements in Louisiana, whatever
may be said in favor of cotton there
seems to be no doubt that distinctly
bad crop reports and an active and
strong Liverpool market are necessary
to prevent a further decline.
New Orleans, Sept. 15.—McElroy
& Co., says: Theabsence of consump-
tive demand aud the somewhat in-
creased volume of receipts have been
too much for prices and all markets
show a decline today, Liverpool
closed 3-64 lower with fairly good spot
sales 8,000 bales and New Orleans is 5
down. The spot market is not very
active, sales aggregating 850 bales.
The principle buying today was for
account of shorts who were taking
their profits. At this time of the year
the equinoctial season operators on
the short side are more than usually
cautious as a sudden storm might
cause more general alarm in their
ranks than actual damage to the crop.
Freights in this part have recently
been advancing and its generally un-
derstood that a free movement'will
be seen here very shortly.

Mew statues in n«« tor* m,.
Five new statues have recently been
set up in the parks aud squares of Now
York—the Columbus, designed by a
Spaniard, in Central park; the Roscoo
Conkling in Madison square, the Gree-
ley at tho junction of Sixth avenue and
Broadway, tho Ericsson in Battery
park and tho Nathan Hale in City Hall
park—aud among these the last named
is tho only which can be called worthy
of its cost and its place either as giving
pleasure to the eyo or as likely to in-
spire imitative ambitions and patriotic
thoughts in the minds of our fellow citi-
zens.—Garden and Forest

MARK TWAIN GOES ABROAD.
He S»w HI* Name on the Paris' Lilt and
Decided to Take That Boat.
Probably the most inconspicuous pas-
senger on the American line steamship
Paris tho other day was a languid man
with fluffy gray hair, who looked as if
he had mado a mistake in taking pas-
sage in tho cabin. He carried an old
umbrella in one hand and a crush hat
done up in a newspaper in tho other. A
few persons recognized him as Samuel
L. Clemens. He apparently was travel-
ing as Mark Twain, professional humor-
ist. Ho was somewhat late—in fact, if
he had been a few minutes later ho
might have had to walk to Europe or
take the next steamship. Somebody sug-
gested to him that the Paris was ready
to sail. Ho answered with his familiar
drawl:
"Well, if tho boat's ready to go, I
guess I am. I am going over to sec my
wifo and family at Etretat, where they
are supporting a couple of doctors. You
Beo, over there when a doctor gets hold
of a good patient he keeps him. They
generally take you to a small place and
keep you there. Then they pass you
along to a friend in another place, and
they keep you moving liko tho Wander-
ing Jew. My wifo has been doing this
for threo years.
"I don't daro to liavo even a head-
ache after I land on the other side. But
I guess I'll bring her back when I como
in October.
"This is my tenth voyage in tho past
threo years. I'm getting real fond of
sailing now. After the first livo or six
duys I rather enjoy the trip."
Mr. Clemens started up tho gang-
plank. A deckhand, who thought the
gingham umbrella hardly in keeping
with a first class ticket, stopped tho
humorist and asked:
''Aro you a passenger?''
Mr. Clemens stammered: "I—I—
don't—know, but I rather think—so.
Wait a minute, and I'll see."
Then Mr. Clemens looked over his
passenger list and exclaimed trium-
phantly:
"Yes, I'm a passenger. Here's my
namo on tho list. "
Tho deckhand said something about
Bloomingdalo as Mark waved him a
stately farewell.—New York Sun.
A Judgt of Music.
A concert was given at a German
court in honor of some foreign prince.
At its close the illustrious guest
asked for a repetition of the first item
on tho programme. The first piece
was accordingly played over again,
but the visitor failed to recognize it
as the one he had liked best. Sud-
denly the musicians fell to tuning
their instruments, during which proc-
ess all the company stopped their
ears with the exception of the foreign
monarch, who exclaimed in a rapture
of delight, "That is my favorite
piece."—Fliegonde Blatter.

CRUSTED SCALY SKIN
Torments Minister's Family. Almost

[y children's ages were respectively nine, seven,
and four years, except the youngest, who was
only two months old, Of all our suffering, my
wife suffered the most. It almost drove her
mad. The disease first made its appearance on
my wife's back between the shoulders,and spread
across to her breast. It looked like it was cov-
ered over with little scales. I first bought of a
drug store, medicine for skin disease, which
failed to do any good whatever. I next employed
adoctor who gave relief forashort while. After
trying him for quite a while without effecting a
cure, I called in another doctor who proveato
do no better than the first. After this I bought
Cuticura Remedies of Messrs. Purcell, Ladd
& Co., Richmond, Va..having read of them in a
newspaper. Relief followed the first appli-
cation, and five or six sets cured all of us. I do
not know what the disease was we had, it
affected us all alike, but I do know Cvticcra
cured us of that skin disease.
