A Washington dispatch says of the White House 
reception, Tuesday night: No wine was served 
with the collation. The wife of a foreign minister 
was heard to remark at the table: “What an air 
of purity it gives to Mr. Hayes’s parties, this ab¬ 
sence of all that can Intoxicate."... Mrs. Conk- 
llng Is said to be really heart-broken because her 
husband will not be reconciled to their only daugh¬ 
ter. who had the audacity to marry an excellent 
but poor man because she loved him .South¬ 
ern States are trying to keep emigration agents 
from enticing their colored help away by requiring 
such agents to pay a big license fee. Georgia has 
recently enforced such a law on Its statute, books, 
and Mississippi and Louisiana arc proposing to 
copy It. Louisiana will make the tee $500 for every 
parish visited.Bismarck has bought 40,000 
seedling American maples to plant In bis forests 
In the Hachzeswaid.The German republicans 
of New York state are preparing to hold an anti- 
third term convention at Syracuse on the 24th.... 
.... It is a general principle of law, with which a 
number of decisions have made the public familiar, 
that a passenger has a right to a scat on a railroad 
car before paying his fare, but an Illinois court has 
recently' ruled that when an “ excessive number" 
of passengers apply for seats, the company cannot 
be required to provide (seats and Is not liable for 
any Injury which may be Incurred by passengers 
while riding In the aisles or on the platforms .. 
... Fires have burned the State normal sebool at

the Lehman cotton factory, near Prattville, Ala , 
loss $ 100 , 000 ; the Albany (N. V.) city hall building, 
loss $50,000, and one man killed: the Theater 
Royal at Dublin, the manager, property man and 
four assistants perishing in the flames, loss on the 
property $200,000.Both the applications for 
patents and the patents granted were less In 1819 
than In 1878, and in 187S than In 1877. Up to 1S74 
both applications and grants steadily Increased 
from 1861. 
Th k Republican state convention of Michigan 
will be. held at Detroit, May 12th. for the election 
of delegates to the national convention.. .A 
boiler In Babcock A Barton’s distillery, Peoria, Ill, 
blew up on the evening of the 18th, killing Benja¬ 
min Babcock, one of the proprietors, James Rich¬ 
ardson, helper; John H. Sill, fireman, and an un¬ 
known man, probably a tramp. Oscar Mills. Louis 
Langdenburg and Michael Burns, employes, are 
probably fatally scalded.Circulars were 
Issued on the inch, by the Philadelphia and Read¬ 
ing coal and iron company Increasing the price of 
lump and steamboat coal on board vessels at. 
Elizabeth, N. J., to $4 75 from $4, as announced on 
the 16th Inst, and to $i 25 irom $3 75 for Port Rich¬ 
mond.A woolen mill belonging toVerlen- 
der Brothers, Chester, Pa., burned on the 19th; 
loss $75,000. A spoon factory In Waterbury. Conn, 
burned same day, loss $150,000. 
The Connecticut Mutual.— Close following 
upon the correspondence between colonel Greene, 
president of the Connecticut Mutual, and the Hon. 
John W. Stedman, commissioner of Connecticut, 
the stalwart company prints Its annual statement. 
A careful perusal of It by tho policy-holders and 
the public will show the gala In net assets, In in¬ 
terest received and In amount of surplus, it will 
also show the decrease In amount of Interest due 
and accrued, and In the expense account. As 
usual with this company’s report, against the 
Item of uet premiums in course of collection Is 
written the word none. The ratio of expense of 
management to receipts Is $6 54, the smallest per¬ 
centage shown by any corporation. The market 
value of stocks and bonds shows steady gain. The 
critics will, If they choose, comment, as has been 
their custom, upon the Increase of real-estate 
ownership, and the company will point to Its 
ability to hold It all, and Its determination to sell 
only when the entire amount of cost is realized. 
The statement Is before all who are. Interested, 
and all who hope to be. It will meet with heartiest 
welcome by sensible men .—Boston Daily Adver¬ 
tiser.

THE GIST OF THE MARKETS, 
London, Feburary 10. 
The British Grain Trakk.— The Mark Lane ex¬ 
press, in its review of the British grain trade for 
the past week says: •* some little progress has 
been made with Held work, which Is still behind¬ 
hand lnsome districts. The land, however, is now 
In good workable condition. Reports relative to 
winter-sown wheat are favorable In those districts 
where It has appeared above the surface. The 
damp weather is unfavorable to thrashing. 
Really dry samples are practically unobtainable. 
Even fair average lots are rare. Trade both at 
Mark Lane and In the country has been exceed¬ 
ingly dulL In consequence of this and bad con¬ 
dition millers would scarcely look at English 
wheat last Monday, and a decline of is. to 2s. per 
quarter was quoted even on best parcels, the 
provincial markets following suit. Dense fogs 
also seriously Interfered with business In London. 
The imports of foreign wheat Into London have 
been moderate, but at Liverpool the arrivals were 
more liberal. Last Monday’s decline of is. per 
qr. has not been recovered, as the consump¬ 
tive demand was very small, but there has been 
no further reduction, Oats were depressed In 
consequence of large Imports. Maize was steady, 
owing chiefly to Its scarcity on the spot.
