They tvero prolug up to I'ouh- keepslc to a boat race of t-ollei-'o crews on the Hudson. An elderly man sat near tliem ILitenlnj? to their talk and enjoying v tho exuberance of youth which came bubbling out of them. Presently he drew bl.s chair near them and eakl; 'Your talk takes me back a pool many years. I pulled In the race of 180 between Harvard and Yale, a race nerer to be forgotten by rue on account of a curious culmination con nected with It" "What was that, sir?" Tho man hesitated.

"The boat shot out into the middle of the river, where the faces of the crew were not very plain to those on shore. and I was glad of it, for I bod my doubts about my stroke's light to be there.

We believe that this Is the proper thing to do wheat is high flirting wits a two-dob lar bill in a most disgraceful manner, and tho prospects are that this flirta tion will be kept up for many months. As a consequence of this activity on the part of the farmers, the tobacco breaks have not been so heavy during the past several days, though tho woed is still high, whilo some are saying that the prices are advancing.
