B.Tobacce Journal. The market has again relapsed into a drowsy condition. Ne transactions of any extent have taken place Although there is a steady Inquiry for lower grades hold ers of running lets de net want te split them. It is elther " the whole hog or nothing." Packers de net wish te be left With se-called wrappers en band which they would have te sell eventually any how as binders or fillers. The tardiness of the market here naturally reacts en the investments in new leaf. Neither is Sumatra moving In accord with the anticipations of theso who have Invested in it heavily. Theconsequenceis a general tondency te cut prices In order to.ferce sales. The experience of two years age seems te repeat itself. Then as new a general stagnation had set in and sales of the finest crop that ever came te this market were forced at figures much below cost., But when spring opened and the sales of the new crop had begun buyers were rushing te acquire whatever they oeuld or the '80 crop at any price asked for it. 'A'few months hence the '88 -crop will be in like active demand. Fer the '80 Su matra crop Is much smaller than the' '88 was ana that the inscriptions are forced a month ahead does net forbed'e much geed for it. About 1,800 bales of the new Sumatra crop are expected at Amsterdam at tle beginning or next month, and it is glven out that the ilrst of this year's Inscriptions will take placn as early as the middle of March. It Is a big blunder of the Dutch companies te begin thus early the Inscriptions. They have hardly given a chance te our importers te unload. With 25,000 bales of the '8i crop still in the market te begin the sale of the new crop must necessarily have a depress ing Influence en our market. We hardly t think our American buyers te be in a great 'hurry te participate in the new inscriptions. -The only comfort affords the condition of the Havana market. Sales are, lively, amounting the past week te about 1,400 bales, and prices are Arm and rising.' Frem the Tobacco Leaf. The same quietness prevalled during the Week in the market as the preceding one, and about the same quantity of tobacco changed hands.

CANDIDATE AYRHS' PLATFORM lie Tells Why, at, a Manufacturer, He Faver Tariff Reform. Mr. William M. Ayres, the tariff referm candidate for Congress in the Fourth dis trict, has sent bis letter of acceptance te the committee of the Democratic convention which nominated him. Mr. Ayres says : Philadelphia, Feb. 10, 18U0. M. F. WUhere, chairman, and ethers Oontlo Oentlo Oontle men : Your letter tendering me the con gressional nomination for the Fourth Congress district is received. Tf I nllnivni mv nrlvutn interests te in- flaerice me I would ueiempted te docliue. but I feel it te be the duty of every citizen at this time te work for the benefit of all by using his best efforts te bring about a reformation of the tariff which will give us free raw materials, and I therefore accept the honor of your nomination, and thank the convention for the confidence placed in me. The opponents of tariff reform acknow ledge tliut free raw materials would bene fit our manufacturers, but claim that we cannot have free wool without a demand en the part of the farmers for free woolens. The weakness of this position Is shewn when we consider that raw cotton, silk and hides are en the frce list ; also, that the en tire production of wool in the United States as compared with the value of ether farm ing products in only 2 per cent, t also, that the nrlces en three-fourths of all agricul tural products have always been regulated by the European markets. If our manufacturers were able te obtain their raw materials free poeds which are uew being daily Imported would be made here; thereby giving mere work te our werkingmen, inore business te our fac tories and cheaper goods te everybody. This question should be considered by every citizen independent of party politics, as it directly interests all, but It has been se misrepresented in the past for party purposes that many of these who would be most benefited have been Influenced bv the false cry of "free trade" te oppose It.

In tie second part of his Interesting vol ume, which treats of the decapitation of human beings, Dr. Leve says: "What passes In the head of a decapitated human being T Is there any fact in the oft-repeated etery that the head lives for some mementa after It haa been separated from the body T" and In connection with this belief Dr. Leye quotes a terrible story told byM. Petlgand about an Anamlte who waa beheaded by the sword In 1885 at Saigon. The place of the execution waa the plain of the Tombs, a vast sandy tract serving aa cemetery te the Anamltes and the Chinese. Four Anamlte pirates taken with their arm! In their hands, were te be beheaded. The ohleref the band, a man in the prime of life, energetic, muscu lar, brave without boasting, and firm te the last, had attracted my special attention and I decided te make my observations en him only. His head fell down at the dis tance of about a yard and a quarter from where I steed. It did net roll In the usual way, but steed with the surface of the wound resting en the sand, a position by which the hemorrhage was accidentally re duced te a minimum. At this moment I waa terror struck at seeing the eyes of the deemed man fixed frankly en my eyes. Net daring te believe in a conscious manifestien, I went quickly te one side of the head lying at my feet, and I found that the eyes followed me. Then I returned te my first position 1 still the eyes went with me for a short distance, and then quit me quite suddenly. The face expressed at that moment a conscious agony, the agony of a person in a state of acute asphyxia. The mouth opened vio lently, ss if te take in a breath of air, and the head, thrown off Its equlllbrum by the motion, rolled ever. This contraction of the maxillary muscles was the last sign of life. Sinee the moment of decapitation from fifteen te twenty seconds had passed. Dr. Loye also relates the following story, taken ;from the archives' of an Austrian police officer, and relating te an execution said te have iakeu place In Vienna in 1800: A well known bandit named Sehauenburg was caught, togethor with four or bis asso ciates, and they were all condemned te death. They were already en their knees, ready te submit te their fate, when Sehauenburg addressed the Judge, asking that his four companions might de ranged In single file In front of him at a distance of eight feet from each ether. "If," he said, "after I am beheaded I get up and walk te the first of my com rades will you pardon him?" The Judge thought he was pretty safe in complying with the request, " But If I walk up te the second, the third and the fourth will you pardon them also?" The Judge re plied that he would obtain their pardon from the emperor. The partisan was satis fied, bent his head, received the mortal blew and his head rolled down, but te the great surprise of the spectators the body get up. walked alone, passed the first, sec ond, third and fourth of the condemned men and foil down. The occurrence was told te the emperor, who according te premise, pardoned the four criminals. A CLAIM AOAIN8T THB CITY. Peter B.

D., says : The report of a cannon'.en Monday afternoon startled the crowd camped here awaiting an opportunity te get upon the Sioux reservation lands, which turned out te be the signal for a crowd or town site boomers, who were secroted In the heavy Umber In American Island, te get upon the coveted bottom en the west side or the river. Immediately tha teams, with leads or lumber, were started en a dead run across the river. It was a grand sight te see the teams dash ing across the river, up the bluff en Amer ican Island, and finally being lest te sight In the heavy timber, and several thou sand people gathered en the fcluff te see as many mero take part In the oxeltlng ovent, The Indian police, te the number or nearly 100, had been placed as a guard te prevent any premature Invasion, but they steed dazed and hoi pleas as they viewed the ir resistible rush for the reservation. A most novel sight wan (he moving of a large building, under which had been placed heavy timbers and wheels. This, llke the ether wagons, was pulled across the river by galloping horses. White this rush and conflict was going en for the bottom lands many ether Intending acttlers rushed promptly Inte the uplands and began at ence the erection of houses. United States Marshal Frye and Indian Agent Patersen, were seen at work vigor ously attempting te eject the Invaders, but forces at their disposal were entirely In adequate. Te-night the settlcrs will on en camp en thelr claims. If It should trans iil re that the proclamation did net nnme a futureday for the opening, claims of set tlement would undoubtedly bold geed, regardless of the fact that claimants wet e affected. Eleven million acres are te be opened for settlement, Thore wero a number of smash-tips In the rush, but as yet no totalities have been reported. The city is in n great uproar to night. Hells ringing, whlstles blowing, camions booming, shouting ofexcltod men and the rushing of teams make a veritable Bedlam or the city. The lumber yurds will be rushed te thelr utmost capacl'y all night, tlie boomers being tee anxious te await the approach or dawn, and by morning the ap ap pearance of the reservations for many miles In every direction will have under gone a great transformation. Settlers who have lumber en the ground are orecting houses by the light or lanterns. The morning snu will shlne en s-eres or new houses, msny or thorn gripped In the new town en the west slde of the river. The local town slters have arranged for repre sentation In nearly fifty dlllorent branches of business. Inside el 48 hours the buildings will have been erected and everything In ruunlng order, Willi a population or between 2,000 and 8,000. Tlie great difficulty will be lit thelr inability te transfer and glve titles te lands. It Is rortunate that the proclama tion came at this time, as a few weeks later crossing would be dangerous. With the river filled with floating Ice accidents would certainly have happoned. The weather continues warm and balmy, and outside work can go en without any Inconvenlonc. Meeting et the Street Committee, The street commlttee of councils met en Monday evenlng.
