McCook, died last week in Cincinnati. She
bore twelve children, nine of‘them sons, and-
of the nine, eight were engaged in the war
for the preservation of the Union, and three
besides her husband, were killed; to which
might be added a fourth one killed in an
Indian battle. One of her sons was a major
general and two brigadier generals, and all
displayed capable soldiership and fighting
vigor of the highest kind. The father, Mn-
jor Daniel McCook,st the age of sixty-seven,
was killed during Morgan’s raid in Ohio.
Brigadier General Robert L. McCook was
killed by guerrillas in Kentucky, and Briga-
dier General Daniel McCook while leading a
charge at Kcncsaw mountain. The third son,
Charles Morris McCook, was killed in the
battle of Bull Run. But two of the sons sur-
vive, one being now in Congress.

flattered farther. As he passed Naomi Poole’s
house she wins sitting by the window, and
modestly but pleasantly smiled and nodded
to the party as they drove by.
In the evening, as the Deacon sat alone at
the hearthstonc with his sister Mahala Ann.
the latter commenced to question him if he
meant to marry again. He replied he thought
replied: “In that case I do h‘Ope you’ll make
a sensible choice, and not allow yourself to be
imposed upon by a pack of selfish widows
andscheming old maids.” She assured him
it was only becausehhe had a nice home and
farm, and money at interest, that they pre-
tended to love him and his children so much.
“Well,”- he said, bringing down his palm
forcibly upon the table, “I ain’t sorry that
those investments of mine in the Mariposa
Silver Mining Company have proved a fail
ure." .
“What do you mean?” said Mahala Ann
curiously eyeing him overthc top of her spec-
tacles. '
But the Deacon .onlyshook his head and
smiled. “Time-will-show,” said be, “time
will show. ”
The news of his loss in Mariposa stock flew
about the'community. Shortly after the Dea-
con made his appearance and told Miss Peck
he was about to go to California, and hoped
“O dear, not" said Miss Peck. “I never
could get along with a pack of children! I
dare say you can find some orphan asylum or'
place of that sort, by inquiring around a
little.”
Miss Peck sat so very upright, and glared
so frightfully at the Deacon, that he wris'fain
to beat a retreat as soon as possible.
He, knocked next at the Widdw _Clapp’s
door. A slipshod maid-servant opened it.
. “Is Mrs. Clapp at home i” he asked.
A head was thrust over the. stair railing,
and the widow's shrill voice cried out :-
é‘It’s that Josiah Grinder with his swarm of
young ones! Tell him I am particularly eu—
gaged. Do you hear, Betsey—particular."
He then called at Barbara Bowper’s milli-
nery store, and said to her: .
“Miss Bowper you we're ever a genial and
charitable'soul. ‘ It is it? you that I trust to
make a home for my mOtherlcss little ones,
while I endeavor to retrieve 'my lost fortune
in the far West." ,
“I couldn’t think of such a thing,” said
Miss Barbara, dropping a box Of artificial
rosebuds in her consternation. “AndI really
think, Deacon Grinder, “you haven't no busi-
ness to expect it of are." It’s all I can do to
support myself, let alone a pack of unruly
children. I dare say the poormaster could
do something for them, or—'—" V .
“I thank you,” said the Deacon, with dig--

“Well,” said Miss Bowpcrs," with ”a toss of
the head. “you needn't. fly into arage because

rosy red and white by turns, “is this true?"

years" of‘her‘ reign, what changes 'lins‘hcr
majesty seen in the personal Other privy
council, her parliament and her cabinet min-

whom she found seated on those benches in
England, Scotland, and Ireland. She has
witnessed the funeral of every premier who
has served under her except Lord Beacons—
field and Mr. Gladstone. Not a single cabi-,

Masses. EDITORS .
I have been asked several times during the
past few weeks, as’to'the condition Of the lum-
ber market and whether the prospects for the
future were such as . would justify building
operations at the present time, with a fair
probability of saving anything by contracting
ing of Spring. I propose to submit to your
readers, briefly a few facts, which I think
will justify them as it does mo, in‘ answering
unqualificdly and unhesitntingly in the af-
firmative. '
During. the Summer of 1879, nearly all
kinds OfLumber and Shingle reached a point
lower in price than was ever known before to
persons now living, and- this was the more
remarkable, when we consider that pine lands
once cut of and cleared up, never again grow
pine trees, but that year after year greatfl'
expense and longer transportation is required
to market the crop of logs, and that in addi-
tion to this as the standing timber becomes
searcer, the value increases, until today
prices are paid for pine land, whicheven (lu-
ring the inflated times Of the war, would hTive
been considered fabulous.
Again, full half of the lumber now market-
ed, is brought two or three times the distance
that was required before the war, and the re-
moteness of the timber from logging streams,
(all convenient points having been stripped)
has caused so great expense for hauling, that
in many cases, notably so in Michigan, it has
been found better economy and much more
certain, to construct temporary railroads and
run logs to mill by cars. To meet and affect
this state of ’affairsgwages were reduced, ex-
penses were cut down, improved machinery
was employed, production was increased,
freights were crowded to the lowest point
ever known and even then the logger, the
manufacturer, the dealer, the carpenter, and
in far to many cases the consumer, has been
literally "skinned" in order to meet the pre—
vailing demand for lower prices. Suddenly
0. change came over the country. The iron
ore trade which had been at starvation point
started up, an enormous wheat crop was ready
to be marketed, and freights from Saginaw
points to the Sound jumped from fear dol-
lars to eight and at the same time came an
advance at points of production, of from one
to two dollars in the stock itself. Added to
this and due to the increased demand, was
the difficulty of procuring stock for the
Winter, before the close "of navigation—so
that most of the dealers find themselves with
light supplies and what they have, bought at
an advance from summer prices. Will this
advance hold P . Yes, for it does not equal the
actual increase of expense. in transporta—
tion of the Stock now in ha in the first
place, and in the second place, owing to ad-
vances in first cost, in wages and supplies,
the manufacturers are now demanding and
getting better prices on contracts for next
year. Further more the reports from all sec-
tions show short supply, good demand, and.
firm prices as witness the following from the
Lumbermnn’s Gazette of Dec. 3rd 1879.
. SAGINAW VALLEY.
“Luunnnmn‘sGaznrrn OFFICE, ,
. ’ .Bay City, Dec. 2, 1879.}
The close of navigation leaves the tradein
a. very satisfactory condition, the most favor-
able that has existed for some years at this
time. The urgency with which business has .
been conducted during the past three months
has led'td shipments beyond the point when
insurance could be'plared, and many cargoes
are now afloat and others will leave the river
this week upon whichpwners have to carry
their own risks, but there will probably be no
more cargoes shipped after this week by
water. From this time onward through the
may be urgently demanded, and itis thought
the amount will be in excess of any other
season. . _ . ' ' .
In another column will be found a cursory
review of the season, I and there is but little
to add here except that prices are firm, with
a. good feeling prcyailing, both in regard to
lumber and shingles.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.—Navigation has prac—
tically closed and the cargo market is at an'
end. The feeling was strong at. the close,
and prices were fully maintained. The total
receipts of the season have been-about 1,500,-
000,000 feet of lumber and 640,000,000 shin-
gles. The increased receiptsof lumber were
about 300,060,000. The increase in the ship-
ments have been nominally about 150,000,000
feet, the actual shipments would reach a
larger aggregate, could the correct figures be
obtained.
The yard trade continues at its usual
dimensions for the season, agreeable surpris-
ing all connected with it. What it would be
if the cars to accommodate it could: be
obtained, no man can say. Orders are
crowding dealers to their utmost capacity,and
nearly all are behind in filling their orders.
It is hardly necessary, therefore, to add that
prices are firm and no disposition to rccede
from the recent advance is manifested. There
is every prospect of a brisk winter's trade,
and dealers are unusually cheerful under the
prospect.
ALBANY, Nov. 26.—In pine lumber there
has been an active trade since our last report,
and noticeable so in uppers, of which sales
have been made of full one half of the stock
then in market at $45 @ $50,~ according to
quality. The receipts within the past few
days have been very light; further receipts
will depend on a. continuance of the present
favorable weather. There is waiting ship—
ment hence from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 feet
of lumber, with great lack of boats to move
it. Should all go for and that has been sold,
we shall carry over next season a very
light. stock of lumber.
Of coarse lumber, the receipts, though
fair, are not as large as needed to meet the
requirements of the trade who have sold
ahead; it is sent forward as fastasit is re-
ceived; and there is no accumulation of stock.
Full prices and in some cases an advance on
quotations have been realized.”
NEW YORK.
The Real Estate Record of Nov. 29th, says:
“ The tendency of the market is toward steady
improvement, and values on all grades are
now well and firmly supported. Buyers
generally appear to have at last realized the
comparatively small accumulation of stock on
hand, and the next to impossibilityof arrang-
ing"for any important additions for winter
use, and in a great many cases there is now a.
display of anxiety, in decided contrast with
the apathy before current. .At all primary
sources yet within reach there is a. firm. feel-
ing at extreme rates, while the cost of trans-
portation is steadily increasing, ‘ and it is
therefore not difficult to appreciate the ne-
cessity of securing supplies at the earliest
opportunity. ,
But are prices of lumber at such a point
to-day. as to admit of an advance? I say
yes, and to prove it, I point to the fact that
theyraversge tO-day less than before the war.
Below may be found the ruling prices on the
leading articles of the lumber trade, in the
month of November beginning with 1854 and
ending in 1863 :—

And as further proof in addition to these
quotations, I will gladly duplicate any bills
of lumber throughout for any house built in
Norwalk for which the lumber was purchased
in December of any .year from ’54 'to ’63
inclusive. Having thus given what I be-
lieve to be a fair review of the market, allow
me to say, that anticipating the very things
which have occurred, I bought my stock
largely in June and July, that it is well
piled and much of it housed, that it is the
best of its kind and that,I am prepared to
sell it fully as low as any responsible dealer
will sell as good a quality.
My stock is in good condition, ready to
sell, and I most cordially invite an examina-
tion of the same by those who contemplate
building or using lumber in any way, fully
behaving that I am able to meet their views

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all 4; thers, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. ' " .
lst. Our “PATENT Insmn BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the out above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept; in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the hOTts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, cons'equgntly im-
possible to oil or clean 'tliem without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
and bolts and the Outside plate of the door,
in mostcases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
”severe fire, which saves breakin them open.
2d. ‘ Our "PATENT HINGED AP” consists
of the back plate of the «hot being hung on
' ' es, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
en les one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other '. safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-prOOf safes (reserv-
‘ing the best four-“wheel locks for bank 'safes),
'we put on our FOUR—WHEEL Locus on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
'4th. All our-Safes are IRON-LINED insmn,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which .
'wa‘ter in‘ our filling Without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
vents them frominjury from falling, Or fall-
ing' walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
masons instead of single Or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. .In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the charhpion record, as was fully proved lit
the time, to these important improvements
do we one our success and the great popular-
country. After that greatv'fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,thOse that
failed to preserve their conténts, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal-é
longed our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
byso doing they wouldonly assist us in dem:
,onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champiou record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense best, we believed that we could im-
prove them, aud we . have, therefore, since
that time, increasedItlie thickness of the walls,
added tothe number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in. various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its'ex'cellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that-
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a. safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufa‘cture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap.
eats, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely.
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. ' We make but‘ one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. ..Send for descriptive catalogue.

A Test of'Afi’ectlon.‘
What originally caused Mr.‘ McGinnis, of
Clinton, 11]., to doubt the sincerity of Mrs.
McGinnis‘s love for him is not known.‘ The
pair had lived together in comparative peace
and happiness for nine years. To be sure,
Mr. McGinnis had sometimes expressed an— ‘
noyance at the cold dinners which were set
before him on washing day, and had occa—
sionally remarked that all women are crazy
on the subject of house-cleaning; and there
had been occasions when Mrs. McGinnis
had apppcalcd to the mop-handle to enforce
her views, or had indulged in the wild jus—
tice of the stove lid when her feelings had
been violently laceratcd. Nevertheless, the
wedded life -of the McGiunis’s was on the
whole successful, and their neighbors would
have been greatly surprised had any one hint-
ed that Mrs. McGinnis was not warmly at-
tached to her husband.
When Mr. McGinnis began to ask him—
self if he was quite sure that his wife loved
him, his peace of mind vanished. He is a
middle-aged respectable man, engaged in
the manufacture of hats, and entirely de—I
pendent for his' happiness upon his beloved
Wife. No sooner had the unlucky thought
entered his head that perhaps she did not
really care for him than he began to 1101300
any quantity of triflcs, nearly as light as at—
mospheric air, whicbto his morbid imagine -
tionseemed evidence of his wife’s coldness.
The cold dinner pn Mondays and the semi-
annual house-cleaning gradually presented
themselves to him in the light of heartless
persecutions. If Mrs. McGinnis went to
bed early, he assumed that she did it to rid
herself of his society, and if she sat up late
he decided that she was influenced by a de—
sire to watch him and prevent him from ex—
ercising his marital right of shoring in his
chair. lIe imagined that she manifested in
countless ways, both her want of love for
him and the hypocrisy with which she tried
to conceal it; and thus looking upon her who
was the wife of his bosom—and also presum-
ably, of his shoulders and the back of his
neck—with suspicion,be became a miserably
unhappy man.
In course of time it seemed to Mr Mc-
Ginnis that it would be well to test his
wife’s affection. In pursuance of this idea,
be devised various little plans of more or
less ingenuity. On one occasion he waked
Mrs. McGinnis up in the middle of the night
and in a whisper informed her that he was
dying. The good woman promptly arose,
and preparing a mustard plaster, placed it
-where it would do the most good, and ex-
hibited a solitude that was quite satisfactory.
The unfortunate man, however, was not
contented, and tried the experiment a second
time, whereupon Mrs. McGinnis remarked,
“Fiddlcsticks ?”-—which was heartless as
well its irrelevant-41nd told him to go to
sleep and he would be all right in the morn-
ing. Being thus again filled with suspicion
as to the state of his wife’s affections, Mr.
McGinnis tried further tests. He entered
the house hurriedly one evening and informed
her that he had been shot at by three rufiians,
who swore that they would kill him sooner or
later. Instead of bursting into tears and
begging him to take care of his precious life
Mrs. McGinnis calmly remarked:.“John, I
wan’t you to sign the pledge this miunte,and
don’t yen ever dare to come home in such a
shameful state again,” and thereupon com-
pellcd her husband, who was far more sober
than the average member of an elective J u-
diciary, to then and there sign a total absti—
nence pledge, Still the miserable man
hankered for further tests, and he even took
the ill judged liberty of informing his wife
that his health was becoming undermined by
cold meat, that if she really cared whether
he lived or diedshe must give him a hot
dinner on Mondays. She told him that if he
wanted to die he might, but she did not 'pro—
pose to take the boiler Off from the fire and
thus interfere with the washing, in order to
pamper any silly foolthat ever lived,“and the
sooner you make up your mind to that, John
McGinnis, the better, and don't let me see
you coming into’thc kitchen Mondays if you
know what’s bert for yourself."
I". the opinion of Mr. McGinnis, these
tests all pointed to alaclr of afiection which
was to the last degree painful t‘o him. He
ceased for a tiine to make any further ex—
periments, and assumed a sad despairing
look, which be rather thought would move
the heart of a brass monkey, had there been
a metallic animal of that, species in the
neighborhood. It finally occurred toliim
that suicide would be the thing to excite
any slight particle of pity that might still
linger in his wife's bosom. It so happened
that he lived in a three story house, and
the joint bedrOom of himself ‘and Mrs. Mc-
Ginnis was the two-pair-back room. On'c
afternoon be mounted to the third story,
carrying the clothes line with him. He
fastened one end Of' the line around his
body, just under the arms, and the other
end to the leg of a bedstead. Then open-
111g the window, be carefully lowered him-
self until he dangled opposite his bedroom
window, in which situation be attracted his
wife’s attention. That estimable woman
was at last convinced that her husband was
in earnest, and that he had actually hanged
himself. Filled with horror, she sprang to
the window, and remembering that a per-
son who has hanged himself should be cut
down as soon as possible, she cut the cord
with a large pair of scissors. Mr. McGinnis
fell heavily to the ground, and when he was
subsequently picked up he had just strength
0
a
‘ enough left to remark that at last he was satis-
fied, and expired.
This incident affords a valuable precedent
to men who desire to know if their wives
really love them. It would, however, be
well for any husband who proposes to hang
himself to so manage the affair that his feet
shall be but a.few inches from the ground.
When, in such circumstances, he is cut down
by a horrified wife, he will be none the 'worse
physically for his experiment, ‘and , his wife
will be saved the trouble and expense of a

Biting at a Bare Hook.
Iwas some time since walking upon the
wharf where a fishing boat lay. writes a
Christian traveler, and as I was passing and \
repassing, the master was uttering tremen-
dous oaths. At length I turned to him, and ,
standing beside his boat, said :
“Sir,I am unacquainted with your business.
What kind of fish are these P"
“They are codfish,” replied be.
“How long are you usually out, in order
to obtain your load ?” ‘
“Two or three weeks,” he answered.
“At what price do you sell them ?"
He informedme.
“Well, have you had hard work to Obtain
a living in this way ?"
“Yes, hard work,” said he.
“With what do you bait these fish P"
“With clams,” .
“Did you ever catch mackerel 1"
“Yes."
“Well, now, do you ever catch a fish with-
out bait ?”
“Yes," said he, “I was out last year, and
one day when I was fixin’ my line, the bare
hook fell into the watcy, and the fool took
hold of it,- and I drew him in."
“Now, sir," said I, “I have often. thought
that Satan was very much like a fisherman.
He always baits his book with that kind of
bait which different sorts of sinners like best.
but when he would catch a profane swearer,
he does not take the trouble to put on bait
at all for the fool will always bite at the bare
book."
He was silent. His countenance was
solemn ; and after a pause, as I turned to
go away, I heard him say to one standing by
him, “I guess that’s a minister."—'—New York
