able at an average price of twenty -one
cents, and placed it in colli storage in
this city to the amount of 10,000,000
pounds, believing, it ia said, that the
product would go up this month. But,
owing to plenty of rain and continued
good grazing, the cows have continued
ta give an abundance of rich milk, and,
thus far, in July there baa been s largo
production of butter, equal to the June
butter, with the result that the new
butter is for sale in this market at
nineteen to twenty cents. The cold
stored butter bss, in the mesn urns,
been depreciating in value, and it
said that some of it will have to be
sold at ten to twelve cents. It is esti
mated that the aggregate loss on t he
deal will tm between $500,000 and
$1,000,000."
The sweet potato is anstieof the
East Indies, snd wss introduced into
Kurope by the wsy of Spain. When
early writers speak ofjthe potato (before
the middle of the seventeeth century)
it is ususliy the sweet potato that is
referred to, though the Spanish also
introduced our common potato from
South America in the "Tjeginning of the
sixteenth century, but it did not be
come populsr ss sn article of food for
more than a hundred years after, and
it was not even mentioned in the
"Complete Gardner" in 17 1 9. Though
they belong to entirely different species
of plants, the common name of ' both
would seem to be derived from the
botanical name (baiatu) of tha sweet
potato.

A UTRIMHil isrs IBM It.
For some time past there have been
strange doings st the jail, which have
given the impression that the place
in nit be haunted. Kvery few nlghe
some prisoner would, bear hia nsn.e
called by some one outside of the Jail,
and, going to the nesrsst vintfow,
would in ths darkness curry on a con"
versation with some friend or refatre,
who railed to roaterisliz, however. A
short time ago a man who wsi put la
jail for assaulting his brotlx-r.in law
with a rarer and cutting his throat
badly, heard same on cstllng him at
the window. He got out of his bOnk,
and, feeling his way to the window.
asiaaf the turns of his Vlsfror Thai
nsme Was gfvtr, Ibo" pYtttnd lo Tie thSt
of sn 1 1 lib friend who had
taken this
wsy to bold s Httls chat with him. Tha
voice could not be mistaken, snd the
prisoner had no suspicion of there be
ing snything mysterious shoot the
matter or auy thing wrong. The visitor
in bidding him good -by told him thst
be bad left some tobacco for him with
the jailer. In the moan lime Jailer
Schontx, hearing (he voices, staid out
side to eee who waa there, and, though
he could hear the talk, could discover
no ene. Tha next day the ptisoner in
sisted on the jellsr giving him the
tobacco which his friend had left for
blm, and a as quite indignant when
told that bis friend had left none. The
same sort of sn occurrence was repeat
ed with other prisoner a The colored
boy who was lately imprisoned for
stealing a watch was celled for the
other night by some one outside, snd,
on going to the window, held quite a
conversation with a colored ftiend of
his, ia which be talked over bis case
quite freely, but Jailer Schontx could
not discover any one. The colored boy
the next dsy wss equally earnest in
demanding the package of smoking
tobacco bis friend bad left with ths
jsiler, but of comae the jailer had no
such package. In none of tbeee cases
could Jailer Schontx discover thst sny
one had been around tha outside of the
ji!.
The puzzling matter hsa now been
straightened out end its mystery solved.
The young man, rcd Hill, oonbned in
jail on the charge of being a confidence
man, seems to be st the bottom of ths
whole affair and the cause of tbo mani
festation, a. He is a remarkable mimic.
and needs only to bear a man's voice
once to be able to duplicate it. He ia
also a good deal of a ventriloquist, aod
these two features of hi own vocal
ability, aided by the peculiar construc
tion of the jail snd the location of bis
cell, have enabled him at night to
throw bis voice outside, so that it ap
pears to ptisonars on the south side of
the ail as if there were some one at
the window calling them. He bss
used his ventriloquism for much smuse-
ment, and, by learning the prisoner's
name snd something of his history by
the prisoners mingling during the dsy
time, haa bean well informed for s
midnight chat with ibera, i art person -stiog
some friend or relative. To add

dozed by the I-know-it-all man, and
look and act silly when bluffad by the
superior source.
