It is time for the gentleman against whom these charges are made no make • public response. Mr. Fuller claims to be able to prove the charge* lie makes. Mr. Hopkins must therefore disprove them now and not at the last moment when it is too late to produce the proof which Mr. Fuller claims to possess. If Mr. Hopkins can prove him- •elf innocent, ije will at once strength­ en bis posltloa Immeasurably. If he ..cannot, or if he maiutalns silence . tinder such direct and serious chargcs, '•>. lie mast not expect the support of hon- .. est men.

The Wheat market Is still very un­ steady,with prices low. Receipts for Wheat for August |are 25 per cent lar- fer than for the same time last year, he shipment of grain and provlsiona from ttiis point last week decreased about 2000 tons, but the low rates which are now |drevailing is expected to in­ crease business. In that line prices Will go up just as soon as the 14.000.000 bushels in store here is decreased. The Corn market was more brisk than us­ ual to-day. The receipts are small and prices are higher than they were the latter part or last week. JThe shipping demand is good enough to prevent any big bretk in prices at present. Oats are dull and weak owing to large re­ ceipts. Rye and Barley are quiet, but prices do not undergo any change There was a fair local and shipping de­ mand for choice Creamery Butter Receipts are moderate and market is steady. {The price of Eggs is advanced end there is a good demand.

The red disc seemed £ ting tremulotftFjr on the horlxon, ""while clouds of snowy wbitness were tinted by his crimson beams. Its reflection shone--a oroad pillar of Are. In the turbid waters of tbe Mississippi. Steamboats and tugs pushing huge bargeq, sent spiral columns of thick l.lack smoke into the surrounding at­ mosphere. Bluffs, whose fluted sides were draped with Ivy, stood boldly outlined on the left bank of the mighty stream, while on the right the ground was Vow and thickly wooded. The bluffs sloped gradually to the even ground, and their summits were ver­ dant with foliage and gay with blos­ soms. Sitting, talking Idly beneath the spread branches ot an asparagus tree a young man and a young woman were enjoying the charming scene from the bluffs. The song of the borse-fly was borne to them In the arms of the en­ chanted breeze, and the turnip bushes blooming beside them made the air rife with fragrance. "Susan." said the young man, "this Is one of the happiest moments of my life. Aut I think I have never .been so happy ts when, in childhood', I pursued my passionless quest of pleasure, rack­ ed by uo tormenting rear of what the morrow might bring, an I happy In the golden present. To dream of my childhood is to dreain of Fairyland--of the only heaven upon earth." The yo.ing girl laughed mUchevou»ly as she replied. "No doubt it is so with you who have no one to continually treat you to ice cr?am, operas, oysters, and buggy rides. We are children un­ til we marry one of you men, and then our worry begins." Angry thoughts like lightning in a stormy sky. flashed through the young man's brain U this slur cast upon his sex. But controlling himself he s Id pleasantly: "Yes. yes! you make pleasant com­ pany, but are, withal, rather expensive. Susan, I never believed unti) to-day that true love was a genuine possibil­ ity. Real love is not a wayward pas­ sion, but is strong, earnest and true. Can I trust you with a secret?*' The young girl bent her blushing face over a horseradish wit!) which she was toying, as she archly replied: U1 do not know. We women find it difficult to remain silent when we know anything interesting. But I guess yon can rely upon me just this once.w The young man looked at her keenly with bis honest blue eyes, and drawing her hand gently to hi* lips he kissed it fervently, saying, "Susan you have always been a warm friend to me, I have always admired yoc from the days wlion we were school mates to­ gether to the present time, and the subject about which I desire to speak affects you most nearly. Do you care for me just a little?" Tbe loyely girl turned her face to­ ward the turnip bushes to conceal her excessive agitation, as she tremulously replied: MYou know I do! I have always loved you!n A happy smile played upon the features of the young man, and taking the maidens shapely hand in his, he said In lones of deepest feeling: "Dear Susan, I can ludeed trust you. To-day 1 was with your sister Jane during the brief space of half an hour, and I am completely mashed on her. I hope to become you brother." The young woman sprang to her feet, and seizing a brick, she m«shed him three feet into the earth.
