Talk on Change.

dull feeling prevailed yesterday, corresponding
In some degree with the weather. There was con-
siderable talk about exchange being returned from
New York, some talk abont failures in Hamburg,
with connections in this city, Of which there was
nothing at all eucidated to the general disavange Of
the parties supposed to be implicated Then again,
the gadders at the usual corners were numerous as
though they had nothing better to do than to talk,
crcnk and grumble. There is entirely too much CAD
ding at times.

It was the evening pressing holiday.
In one establishment the windows blazed
with light. Jewels flashed and golden
ware glittered. Statuary in beautiful
groups stood around; diamond necklaces
laid in repositories of velvet and satin;
magnificent watches lined the entire
sides; breaches of ruby and amethyst
precious stones, and pears fit to adorn
the snowy wrists of beauty, sparkled on
their terraces of rosewood Tiaras daz-
zled with the innumerable splendors that
radiated from hundreds ofcrystal points
Ware cases inlaid with pearl and adorned
with elaborate and exquisite paintings,
RECALLED the sight, while the blaze of a
massive chandelier threw thousand
beautiful colors on the productions of ge-
MUS and the works of beatty that were
ranged on every hand.
Before this prince of jewellers, stately
equipage drew up, and taerefrom two la
dies descended; one tall and regal in her
carriage, the other of more fairy like pro-
portions and attired wiMfgss elegance.

Of the proceedings at the Court of Queens

sentence of Anais Bison, young woman
OF about % years, convicted of poisoning
her husband, to whom she had been mar

following extract from the remarks oFsthe
presiding Judge in passing sentence:
Annals Bisson-In the midst of popu-
lation eminently distinguished for the

greatest atrocity.
A man of learning and experience has
said that, among crimes there is one that
conceals itself in the shade-which how

society, defes by the cunning of its use
and stability of its effect, the appearan-
ees and the analysis of science-w which in
timidates with doubts the consciences Of
juries, and which increases year by year,

words came chokingly.
The unseen eyes behind her glared saw
agely; the form shook, the hands were
clenched, the features rigid. There stood
Lynn, the incarnation Of diabolical rage,
as bending forward, his breast laboring
his breath suppressed, he listened as he
thought, to the fearful proof of his own
disgrace. The fair reader for moment
pressed her hand tightly over her fore
head, and then resumed her reading.

With an awful denunciation the book
was hurled from her hand. A terrific
crash followed. Annie sprang with one
wild shrek to her feet. Her husband
stood, maniac for the moment foaming
at the mouth--his eyes like blazing Goals.
A toilet table laid upon the floor, its mir

five moments did the chafed tiger essay
to speak, but the convulsve tremor ofhis
livid lips denied him utterance. His wife
covered but for an instant before his
wrath, then drawing up her slender form
proudly as an insulted queen, she waited
for him to break the silence.

invectives came pouring upon her. Every

that the bid Of d w. Deckey was with
drawn, on the condition that Young q

The other bids putin by the other par
ties named were mere bogus. They were
put in by Young q Co., themselves. and
were Withdrawn after the Deckeys had
been bought off, which, of course, left
bis $4,000 bid standing solitary and
alone, without competitor. That is what
we call sharp practice.

The Committee say that the securities
