The closing price Of gold is 1885, and dull.
The frmness in Government stocks continues,
and nothing on the list is so great fsyorite with
investors. They commend themselves to public
gtten,on alike upon the ground of superior income
and perfect security, and at no remote day promise
20 be current at par for everything but the five
Der cents, which never have been favorites in any
quarter, and do not promise to become so, the
Becretarys opinion to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. The issue of l0-40s was one of tho great
financial bunders of the Rebellion, and should
not be repeated by attempting TO fund
she currency debt at rates absurdly low in com
parison TO what can be made by capital in oTdi-
mary channels. Money can now be used upon long
engagements, but short in comparison to the
funded debt Of the Government at to Is per cent,
and per cent can be made in currency by holding
existing securities, with gold at ITO. While these
facts exist it is idle to talk of funding 81 600 Of
currency debt into bonds, upon which, after
n short time, the interest can DO reduced.

A NEW SOURCE OF QUINRE. "A paper read
efore one of the scientific societies OF England
contends for the existence in the texture OF ami
mails of a substance closely resembling quinine.
Henry Bence Jones and DR.. Dupre found that
animal substances contain a substance which
exhibited fuorescence similar to quinine. This
substance can be shown to exist in the living and
dead textures. Every texture was examined.
and IN every one this substance occurred. The
above all Others, most suited for experiments
The animal qulnoidine, as the authors have

GAZING In OF A CULvERT For two
weeks past at Twenty-frst and Pine streets,
Workmen have been lelsurely at work repairing
slight breach made by q caving in oil the earth
at the intersection of the two streets; but the
damage vas so slight that the passenger cars
were not delayed IN their trips. The heavy
thunder storm at o'clock on Saturday after
noon, did great havoc in this quarter The tor
rents of rain tore out the earth TO a depth OF
thirty feet, and to a length and breath of nearly
fifty leet. Providentially, the laborers had Just
left their work, so that no lives were lost or any
injuries sustained.
At O'Clock Yesterday afternoon, the Delaware
steam fire engine set to work to pump out the
water IRON the crevasse, and in several hours
the way was clear for repairs. 1t ls to be hoped
that Immediate and energetic measures will be
set on foot to remedy this accident ere another
like tornado Ia very probable accompaniment OF
the present sultry weather) be allowed to under
mine the foundations Of surrounding buildings.
AT Eighteenth and Pine streets, an explosion
took place during the storm, throwing up the
cobble stones and causing q hole large enough
TO impede the travel of the Pine Street Rail way.

to allow the cars to pass.
CHAPTER OF CAsUALTIEs.-JohnK Kane,
q lad, was kicked in the face by horse on
Saturday afternoon, at Eighth and washington
streets, and was severely injured.
Christian Shingle, eighteen years old, was run
over by the Washington Hose carriage, at
Nagle's Hill, Germantown, on Saturday, and
Early on Sunday morning an unknown man
was found on the track OF the Baltimore Rail-
road, near Chester He was mangled In most
shocking manner, the wheels having passed
along the right side OF the body, cutting the
neck, crushing the arm, leg, and foot. The man
was stlll alive when found, but died soon after
being brought to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
There was nothing to indicate the name or resi-
dence of the deceased He wore dark pants q
light linen coat, and blue neckte. Those who
first discovered the man thought they could
understand him to say his name was Whitaker.
SPIRITUAL FRAUDs.-Mr. B. #. Urwiler,
Assessor of the Nineteenth Ward, made visit
last week to the distlllery of Messrs. Dobson 81
Co., No. 1OO6 Richmond street. The still, located
in the rear part OF the building, was in full
operation at the time. The parties, it is
charged, were distilling without license from
the United States Government. Deputy United
States Marsbals Crombarger, Goodwin, and
Schuyler arrested the parties concerned on
Saturday morning. They will have a hearing
before United States Commissioner Smith to-day.
A SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE.-George White
was before Alderman Doueherty on Saturday,
on charge of assault and battery upon Mrs.
Annie Bachman, OF No. 1850 Germantown road.
The accused was held in $4,000 bail to answer.

ALLEGED INFANTICIDE.-A day or two
since q woman named sarah Adkins take N into

child by throwing. it down sink on Cooper
street, below Second, where its body was found in
a forward state OF decomposition. Coroner Roberts
held an inquest and also had post mOrtem exa-
minatlon OF the body made, but the physicians were
urable, from the testimony elected, to determine
whether the child had met with natural vio ent
death. The moJher, however, was held tor further
nvestI OatlOn.
