The bank statement for the week shows q
continued flow of currency towards this city.
The deposits have increased $780, 822; the legal
tenders, $614, 500; and specie $184, ,079 The
expansion in loans fails to keep pace with the
increase in resources, owing to the lack of the
usual business demand for money, but they are
greater than the previous week by s223, ,522.
This large addition to the banking facilities In
sures an easy money market for some time to
come, with a corresponding ease in the rates.
We quote on call at 5C06 per cent, and prime
discounts at 607 per cent.
Gold opened and continued weak up to noon,
the sales ranging from 114T9@114&. The
decline is mainly due to the increased sales of
gold by the U. s. Treasury during the present
month.
Government bonds, in sympathy with gold,
show a decline of about one-half, as compared
with closing sales yesterday.
There was very little doing at the Stock
Board, and prices fell off. Small sales of City
6s, new bonds, at 1929.
Reading Railroad sold at 50'44O5056; Penn
sylvania Railroad was rather stronger; sales at
5SA Camden and Amboy was dull and weak
small sales at 1201S; Lehigh Valley was taken at
55%@551s and Philadelphia and Erie at 2S1S
The chief bids were 43 for Little Schuylkil; 131&
for Catawissa and 3713 for preferred do.
In the miscellaneous list the sales were unim-
portant and prices generally weak.

Il DOUBLE LIFE.


The only person that really mis-
trusted the Lady Annie Beacham was
POnsOnby, her maid.
Ii may be asked why was plain,
candid, simple lady's maid the only
human creature who mistrusted my
Lady Annie?
Tie reply is very simple. When
Ponsonby was dressing her lady's
hair,-when she was diligently en-
ployed upon that half-hour's soft,
silky brushing to which ladies whc
can afford to keep maids are so par
iial upon these occasions, the maid
saw my lady looking at hersey, and
she mistrusted her.
The Lady Annie was one of tne
most charming young ladies of what
was emphatically called her seasOn.-
| Th,, peculIarity about the first London
season of Lady Annie's was this, that
IT occurred at an age more advanced
than that at which young ladies IN
society usually appear for the first
time in the world of fashion.
Lady Annie Beacham was twenty
! five when she made her first appear
ance in London drawing-rOom. In
society they talk of her year much a.
in other places they talk of sO-and sos
year in relation To the Derby.
She did not appear until May, when
! the London season is more than half
I finished, and at once she took heT
position as the debWdRte of the year.
Authorities had TO give the preference
to Miss Smythe, who came from the
City, and was only yellow as TO heT
fortune she being a charming blonde
possessed of soft, peachy skin, and
that peculiar silky, straight hair
which grows long and fine upon the
temples and forehead, and gives such
a soft, exquisite look To the face-Or tC
! the Honorable Miss d'Acier, who
knew that rich dark blue, especially
satin, if only they would but bring in
satin again, suited her pnrpleblac6
/ hair 10 a nicely.

VOLUME 22-NUMBER II


The "Old Franklin Almanac for
1870 contains record Of the railroad
accidents for twelve months ending
October 5lst, 1869. There We're one
hundred and six accidents, resulting
in the killing Of one hundred and two
persons, and the wOunding of five
hundred and seventy-seven persons.
These disasters occurred on seventy
seven roads. Upon one road there
were ten disasters, the highest num-
Der recorded on any single road. The
disasters were Of the following char
acter:
Explosions, eight; collisions, twen-
ty-nine; thrown or ran off from track,
forty-seven; ears burned, two trains
burnedJ five; broke through bridges,
ten; ran of bridges, six; struck rock,
one; total, one hundred and six.
The accidents by months Were:
NOvember-EleYen accidents,
five killed and thirty-eight wound
ed.
December-FOurteen accidents, nine
killed and Seventy-fiVe wOudded.
IS69-January-Five accidents, four
killed and seven wounded.
FeDfudfN fN-E our AcCiuclilSy liieC
killed and twenty-eight wounded.
March-Thirteen accidents, twelve
killed and one hundred and twenty
four wounded.
April-Seven accidents, thirteen
killed and fOrty-fOur wounded.
May-Five accidents, three killed
and eighteen wounded.
June-Three accidents, eleven
wounded.
July-Twelve accidents, sixteen
killed, one hundred and one wounded.
August-Eleven accidents, nine
killed, sixty-three wounded
Septem ber-FOurteen accidents,
twenty-One killed, thirty wounded.
OctOber-Seven accidents, seven
killed, twenty-eight wounded.
If we had the number of passengers
transported, we should probably find
the per cent. of fatal accidents, TO be
much smaller than when the transit
is performed by lines of stages. As
railway tracks and machinery are per-
feeted from year to year, we may ex-
pect the per cent. of accidents to be de
creased until the greatest possible de
gree of safety has been attained.

Mr.. Stewards travels in Mexico have
convinced him that the republic is
destined for a far brighter career than
any which it has hitherto achieved.
He has seen such evidences of the in
dustry and energy of the people a.
have evidently made a great impres-
sion OH his mind.
II now know" he said at hanqnet
given to him by Senior Romero, that
Mexico will remain independent, re-
publican, and enjoy peace and pros
perity in the future" This is Il strik-
ing prediction, but Mr.. Seward de-
clares that he is prepared To adduce
substantial grounds for making it.
The speeches Of the eX-secretary in
Mexico have been distinguished by
much of his old fire and vigOr, and he
has evidently been well satisfied with
the interest and amusement afforded
him by his journey. No one can deny
that Mexico owes great deal To Mr..
Seward, and il is no more than his due
that he should everywhere bc received
with the greatest kindness and en-
thusiasm.

Reduce all these values of 1869 to a
gold basis, and you still have, with
one or two exceptions, n price very
much i'm advance, and in some cases
more than double that Of 1889.
In the matter Of help, wages ten
years ago gOaveraged about fifteen dollars
month for good man. Last year
more men were hired under twenty
five dollars a month than over. And
when we consider that the adaptation
of machinery to farm uses has made
it possible to do the work on farm
with about half the help that was re-
quiFed ten years ago, We can see how
much larger the opportunity for farm
ers to make money in 1869 than it was
in 1859.
And they have done it. Leaving
out the exclusively wheat growing
sections, the farmers are rich, as the
world talks. They have paid their
way-paid up, many of them, old
debts, and those that were fOrehanded
at the years beginning, are more 50
at its close and what is best of AL ],
the promise of tomorrow is better to
human eye than the realization of
Yesterday.

AGANBLER

Among tine innumerabie anecdotes

i one worth relating. which refers TO
Mr.. Porter, a gentleman, who. in the
reign 0f Queen Anne, possessed one of
tEe best estates in Northumberland.
the whole Of which he lost ut hazard.
in twelve months. According TO the
story told of this madman-for We
viii call him nothing else-when he
had just completed the loss of his last
acre AT a gamhiing-house in London,
and was proceeding down the stairs
10 throw himself into a carriage To
convey him home 10 his house in town
he resolved upon having one more
throw to try to retrieve his losses, and
Immediately returned to the room
where the play was going ON. Nerved
for the worst that might happen, he
insisted that the person he had been
playing with should give him one
chance of recovery, or fight with him.
His proposition was this; That his
carriage and horses, the trinkets and
loose money in his pockets, his town
house, plate and furniture-in short,
all he had left in the world, should
be valued in 4 lump ut n certain sum,
and be thrown at 4 single east. No
persuasiOns could prevail on him to
depart from his purpose. He threw,
and lost; then conducting the winner
to the door, he told the eOaehman
there was his master; and marched
forth into the dark and dismal streets,
without house or home, or any one
creditable means of support. Thus
beggared, he returned to an obscure
lodging in n cheap part of the town,
subsistingpa partly on charity, sometimes
acting rs the marker ut a billiard table
and occasionally as a helperin alivery
stable. In this miserable condition,
with nakedness and famine staring
him in the face, exposed to the taunts
ann insults of those whom he hadOnce
supported, he was recognized by an
old friend, who gave him ten guineas
TO purchase neceSsaries. He expended
five in procuring decent apparel with
the remaining five he repaired to a
common gaming-hOuse, and increased
them to fifty; he then adjourned to
one of the higher order of houses, sat
down with former associates, and won
twenty thousand pounds. Returning
the next night, he lost it all, was once
more penniless, and after subsisting
many years in abject penury died q

New Blasting PnMder.

Alfred Nobel, the engineer who first
practically applied nitro-glyceTine to
blasting purposes, has recently taken
out a patent in England for a new ex-
plOsive compound. According to the
inventor, a mixture of nitrate Of pot
ash, soda, baryta or lead, with resin,
sugar, starch, or other bodies rich in
carbon, cannot be employed for blast
ing except under strong pressure; but
if mOistened with "a small quantity of
nitro-glycerine, 80 that e1eh grain is
surrounded by a layer oft, the mass
will become explosive under ordinary
circumstances. Nobel gives the fol-
lowing proportions for his new blast
ing material: 6S parts Of nitrate Of
baryta, II parts Of charcoal, If posi-
BILE, such a. contains some hydrogen,
and - parts Of nitrO-glycerine or, 30
parts nitrate of baryta, 10 Of resin, and
- of fnitrO-glycerine. An addition Of
) to 8 parts Of sulphur enhances the
effect, but diminishes the safety. II
is set Oh fire by ordinary primers with
fUlmiUatt of mercury.

Mr.. HOwells, in the AtldRtic Month

''I4et the women vote" said he, "let.
EN- vote if they want to. don't care
Fact is, / should like to be there to
see 'em do it the first time. They're
excitable, you know; they're eXcita-
ble," and he enforced his analysis of
female character by thrusting his ell
bow sharply into my side. "NOw,
there's my wife; Pd like to see her
vote. Be fun / tell you. And the
girls-LOrd, the girlsl Circus wouldn't
be anywhere" Enchanted with the
amusing picture which he appeared to
have cOnjured up to himself, he laugh
ed with the utmost relish and then,
patting the green bag i'm his lap, which
plainly contained a violin: "YOu see"
ne went on, al go out playing for
dancing parties. Work all day at my
trade-Pm a carpenter-and play i'm
the evening. Take my old ten dollars
a night. And i notice the women a
good deal, and / tel! you they're all
eXcitable, and | sh'd like to see 'em
vote. Vote right and vote often; that's
the ticket, ell ?" This friend of woman
suffrage, no doubt, was otherwise a
reformer, and held that the coming
man would not drink wine-if he
could find whisky. AT least, / should
have said so, guessing from the OdOrs

Drunkenness in The OIden Time.

A law to oprevent drunkenness by pro-
hibiting the public prOmiscHous sale
of intoxicating drinks was by no
means original in the State Of Maine.
The vice is as old as our race. Our
ultimate ancestors, the Vikings, drank
fire water upon earth and quaffetl
mead in Paradise; our recent ances-
tors in Great Britain drank gin and
groveled. A gin shop in Southwark,
London, Il hundred and thirty years
ago, had this alluring sign: 'Drunk
for a penny; dead drunk for tuppence;
clean straw for nothing" What more
could Man, the image of his Maker,
ask? And is it wonderful that Swift,
diseased and half frenZied, poured out
his profuse contempt in Laputa and
HOuyhnnms People often died of
drunkenness in the taverns; and there
was temperance party, even then,
that demanded 4 prohibitory law, and
they succeeded in carrying Il bill
through Parliament which laid upon
liquor a tax so heavy that it become
too costly for the poor, and which pro-
duced the sales of drains. Sir Robert
