he 'Fnid" Speoatlea In MANaoh' setts. The chief topic of conversation this k week has boon the sudden and unao- P countable changes in certain business place., and the collaspe of the Chicago b grain speculators' expectations. Vari- ti ous reasons are assigned for the bu <i- u nes changes, and dilerent re plo be- I leve diflerent stories. Some of the tales U are scarcely to be credited, and it is said i that persons of whom they are s being told threaten to make the N gossipers prove their assertions. It isto be hoped if they make the at empt a they will succeed, and not find them selves in the predicament a certain 3 politician is sai( to have once found A himself. Returning home one night, P in quite "a state of mind" his wife w asked what the matter was. "'hat t scoundrel Jones called me a liar le'oro o the whole meeting," he replied. "'lIht 11 that hadn't ought to annoy you," she P s.id, "for he couldn't prove it." 11 "There's the trouble," ro.ired the hus- 1 band, "for ho did prove it." The rev- s elation that has come with the closing I uip of the grain swindling firms is rathe tl startling to people who little guessed I how the mania for speculation had per vaded our community. For months the t thing has been going on, and during that. time scores, aye hundreds, of men and women, girls and boys have been drawn I into the seductive vortex and invostei I from $10 to ,!b00, in many cases their i little all, thinking to I ecoine wealthy. The history of the matter is but a repi tition of the old, old story of sivind'ers t and swindled. A few months ago sev eral persons received cireulars front Chicago parties relative to grain specu lations, purporting to show the enor mous profits made by shrewd pur, has ers, explaining the "iund scheme,'' and offering the rocip'ent $1 on ecry *1( forwarded fromi other parties. lost.of these peopl threw the circulari into the Iire,knowing that the scheme was a swindle, and only lit to he classed wit h cheap lotteri--s. But three or four took It up and w. see the re nit, to-day in an aggregate loss of several thousand dol lars These "agents." or "fund formers," took at first a few shares and induced their friends to do the same, on t he ('hicago im,en's promisc o Iwent v five por cent dii (1entla every t lue months, and also smaller occasional dividends. '1'his promise was, of course, kept for a tine. and the showing of the divide :d checks an1 profitable balance-sheets set lots of peo ple fairly wild to get into it. Men and women who had *0, ;* l ee or e. f"i, saved by years of harl work, made haste to invesL c no man who put. in a fcw hundred dollars, after getting lils frsit dilvidend-cheek, announced thait lie had' given up working and was going i.: live on the profits of his investment. Not wilder were the dreams of the dupes of Law's histor cal lississippi and Vest India colonization scheme, nearly two centuries ago, than were those of our over-credulous grain speculattors. But. they had a similar ending. Not the least surprising featuro ,is that quite a number ofl men were b tten who have had the credit heretofore of '- lavinl their o'c-teetlt cut.'' 'T'heso excuse themselves by saying they knew the thing was a fraud but, t.liought. they could get t heir mono' back and more with it before the :-clemie went up. A business man who puilt in -.00 makes no bones of frankly saying he has lost every dollar of it. One of the worst. features of the matter is that evon school pupils woro inluced to thus early in their lives begin gambling. Led by- one of t heir associates several high si hool boys investodI from $10) to ,Ti0 e ehi, andl haivo lost. nearly all of it. If this experience serves to keep thiem fronm such things in future the lesson has not been too dearly pa'd( for. .Buit the blame of this state of aifairs lies not wholly with these dupes)0 of (Chi cago swindleors. Itather it falls oiin lie meni of n salt.h and1 stand(ing in thle coin munity who have for yearxs maude speculative stocks a conisideriable sourice of profit-or loss. 'Thiey were able to p)ut, up large margiins ini thle NewI York markets and frequently make ut4e a stake, which they wvoie not slow to tell of, but seldocm let anything he known of their losses. Not niany months ngo one sp)eculator toldI your correspiondlent that, lie held $2,0O00,000 wvorth of various kinds of stocks on margins, but, ho apl pareiitly has hiad g(ood cause since to re gret; his invest ment.

To be sure Wiggins is risen to explain; but the explana on is worse than the failure itself, and icreases the popular disappointment, i it heaps failure upon failure.

After Wiggins had failed, it as a little cruel to Interview him, but, 'iggins was ready with his reasons. .e said: " The astronomical day begins noon on the meridian of London and ir day begins at twelve o'clock at ght.

I did not notice my mis. ,ke until this evening, so the storm fell i the l'acitic instead of the Atlantie." , will strike the unscientific and un rejudiced reader that it was a very irious mistake in the calculations of t inn who was astronomer, astro'ogie nd meteorologist combined to get ti rrong side of one planet tuirned tvoward 1e sun when making predictions o' al art"h-shaking storm.

"The Frodgral Son." Now, there was a man who had two eons. And the younger of them said to his father, "father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me." And he divided unto him his living, and the younger son purchased himlself an oil-cloth grip-sack and got him out of that country. And it came t<o pass that ho journeyed even unto Buckskin and tho country that lieth over against Loadville. And when ho was conic nigh unto the gates of the city, ho hoard musio and dancing. And ho got him into that place, and wlenl lie arose and went his way, a hireling at the gates smoto upon him with a slung-shot of great potency, and the younger son wist not how it was. Now in the second watch of the night he arose and was alone, and the pieces of gold and silver were gone. And it was so. And lie arose and sat down and rent his clothes and threw ashes and dust upon himself. And he went and joined himself unto a citizen of that country, and lie sent himg1 down into a prospect shaft for to dig. And lie had never before dug. Wherefore when he spat, upon his hands and lay hold of the long-landled shovel, wherewith they are wont to shovel, he struck his elbow upon tho wall s of the shaft whereini he stood, and ho r poure<l the earth and the btoken rocks against the back of his neck. Aud he waxed exceeding wroth. t And lie t ried even yet again, and he hold! tht liandle of his shovel became tangled between his legs, and to filled 11 his ear nigh full of decomposed slate, e and the porphyry which is in that region rotnid about. o And lie wist not why it was so. y Now, after many days the shovelers with their shovels, aniil the pickers witlhi I- their picks, and the blasters with their e blasts, and the hoisters witlh their hoists, it 1 iided themtt:selves together, and each s said to his fellow: e (lo to!
