80 40 NEW YORK, Nov. 3.
The Posts money article says: : The
sensational reports from Baltimore to-
day checked the upward tendency of
speculation in the leading railroad
ana 1ancy stocks. In consequence of
the disbursements from the Treasury
coin Is plentiful for delivery, and is
frequently left without interest, as
much as 4E95 per cent being asked In
some cases by the holders of coin to
have IT carried. Loan market inactive
but teVerish, rates being per cent for
call loan, 5zSC96H for discount. Stock
market unsettled governments are
better and railroad shares offered at
lower prices. Alter the regular board
quotations were-NeW York Central,

The Commercials money article says,
money is in steady demand on cali
loans; the rate is generally per cent,
on stock collRterals, and per cent, on
Government. Discounts continue
quiet at 51za7 per cent. for prime paper,
the most general rate on months bills
being per cent. Gold continues firm,
and after opening at 147 advanced to
147zs, but at the same time there is no
scarcity for delivery, 3a4 per cent, be-
ing paid for having gold carried. The
advance this morning Is encouraged by
the export of specie having been larger
than was supposed yesterday. The
shipment Of specie to-day amounted 20
1914, 0ls; for the week, SEA-, 485. Gov
ernnents continue firm; 46-2O's of 1896,

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. S.-The
parole granted Jefferson Davis some
monthsr ago, giving him the privilege
of the ground Of the Rortfess during
the day, has been extended through the
Executive clemency in removing all
surveillance over him. and the guards
from his roomsin Carroll Hail at night.
Instructions to this effect have been
sent from Washington to General Bur
tonT Commandant OEthe Fortress, thus
divesdng his imprisonment of anything
like severity, and paving the way, as
Is generally presumed, for final pa
role and release. All the guards over
him, both during the, day, and night,
being removed; he now enjoys every
possibl means of comfort and pleasure
while held prisoner in the Fort. It
Is said that he has expressed great
qualification at this action OF the Gov
ernmsnt, and. already contemplates va
eating Carroll Hall and taking up his
residence with Mrs. Davis in the apart
ment assigned her shortly after her ar

History of Munchnusen.

The adventures of this famous Baron, as
originally published in EuElish, In con-
nected form, were written by German
named Raspe, who was runaway from
justice in his native country, and in Eng
land storekeeper of Dalcoath Mine, Corn
wall. The first portion of the adventures
was published as early as 1885. 1t was
dedicated to Bruce, the Abyssinian travel
Ter, and contained only the second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth chapters of the work
as we now have 1t. Between its first APP
pearance and 1919, it had increased four
fold In bulk. Buerger the author of
"Leonora," seems to have published the
first German editionin 1856, while G. Kears-
ley, of Fleet street, London, published in
the preceding year set of copper-plate
illustrations Of it. The materials OF the
book have been traced as far back as the
medieval period. The ''belicix Academicx"
of j. p. Lange, published in 1865, contains,
it is said, some of its tables; he%Rabelaisn
shows at least one OF the legends in his
fourth book. Such, in brief, is all that is
known abontthe curious chronicle OF mon
strous lying.-Roand Table. ysi

The Home orn Ro,hschIId.

A correspondent OF the London Telegraph
thus describes Ferrieres, the home of Baron
James dc Rothschild:
"When the Compiegne festivities are over
thoseof Ferrieres commence. Baron James
de Rothschild selects the month of Deem
Der as his special season for receiving his
guests, because 1t Is the season wherein he
can best enjoy his favorite pastimes of
hunting, shooting, &c. AS at Cpmpiegne,
the Baron's guests are invited in four series;
and If 1t were possible to exceed the mag
niilcence of imperial COmpiegne, the Baron
would certainly outrival Napoleon Ill.
The estate of La Ferriere was purchased
thirty years ago by Rothschild from the
heirs of Fouche, Duke OF Otranto, for the sum
of 26O0,O0Of. 1t has since been consider
ably increased, and it now consists OF $4,000
English acres Like the great Frederick,
who vainly tried to purchase the mill at
Sans Souci which came twixt the wind and
his nobility, the baron has vainly endeav-
ored 10 buy farm OF fifteen acres which
happens to be in the center of his vast
domain. The gold of the Rothschilds will
not tempt the Obdurate pdySOn to part with
his beloved heritage. Curious TO say, the
adjoining estates belong to the mighty
Pereires, the only name in France which
in point of financial power can rival that of
Rothschild.
"The Emperor's visit in 1866 to La Ferri-
ere will be remembered. Every hour
which his Majesty breathed in this superb
mansion cost the host million. Till that
time no artist had been allowed to sketch
the chateau; and it being a hideous
amalgamation of incorrect style, such as
would give Mr.. Ruskin shiVer even to
contemplate in photograph, think the
baron cvinced his good sense in not per-
mitting his house to be seen in prints. Inn
agine huge building, partly old English
and partly Chinese in its decoration, sur
rounded by exquisite grounds in the de-
signs of which Paxton had no inconsider-
able part, immense tanks well stocked with
fish, and an indescribable air of artificial
ornament pervading the whole, which con-
veys to one the idea that one of the sumpt-
uous palaces in the Champs Elysees has
been transported to the Hat plains of La
Brie.
THE interior arrangements, however, are

Very SensatiOnal-An Innocent
Man in State PrisOn-Is Released,
RePudiaIed by his Wife, Marries
Another, who Good NaturedIy
Turns lAim Over 10 the First on
his Innocence being Established.
About the spring OF the year 1850 Mr..
Garnett, living near Auburn. n. l., was
arrested for forgery. He was tried, found
guilty, and sentenced to three years inn
prisonment in the State prison at Auburn.
He denied his guilt to the end, and being a
man of very sensitive feelings, and having
wife and family, it bore quite heavily up
on him. He served his time and was re-
leased, mere wreck of his former self, de-
spised by his once loving wife, who refused
to live with him and shuned him as guilty
Culprit. Sad and broken-he he dis
posed of his property and went to central
Pennsylvania, where he married beauti-
full and excellent young lady.
They lived happily and prOspered. Sew
eral years after his departure, the first wife
became fully convinced that he was innocent
and had been wronged. This conviction
proved true by the death-bed confession of
man who acknowledged the commission
OF the crime of which Mr.. Garuett had been
convicted. The sorrowing woman repent
ed her former act, and with friend went
in pursuit of her discarded husband, whom
she seemed to expect TO find somewhere in
Pennsylvania.
After a search of several weeks, they at
length arrived in the neighborhood of the
object of their search. Just at dark they
drove up to the door of a snug and pleasant
little cottage, when Mrs. Garnett entered
the house, and there beheld her once-be-
