An exchange tells the following story
g During the war, Henry Dillon, Jersey
City soldier, while accompanying his regi-
ment on Grierson's famous raid through
Mississippi. fell in with the rebel General
Stegman and staff officer. Shots were
exchanged, and Stegman fell by Dillon's
pistol. but while dying took from his pock-
ct his will. bequeathing all his property
and an insurance policy of $4,000 to his
wife and daughter, and entrusted it to his
slayer for safe delivery. Since the war
Dillon mas advertised in vain for the own
ers, and finally waited to be sought for.
Recently reward of $500 was offered for
the will in the Alabama papers by Gen.
Stegman's daughter, and he quickly re-
stored it, just in time to settle the title to
estates valued at 100000 which spurious
heirs had been trying to get possession Of
in the courts by means of a forged will.

How TIE MAMMOTH CAVE WAS MADE.
Some members Of the Association for the
Advancement of Science have lately made
visit 20 the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
Naturally enough the first questions sug-
gested were how and when was the cave
formed. These savans do not, we believe,
share the popular belief that the rapid and
violent action of some subterranean stream
of water has worn these deep channels
through the limestone. Their theory,
stated in a briefer form than that their
chronicer has seen fit TO adopt, Is this
That the cave Is wrought in what is
known as the ST. Louis limestone; this
stone is dissolved when it is subjected to
the influence OF running or dripping water
impregnated with carbOnic acid gas wa
ter exposed to the air absorbs the gas,
and surface water, percOating through
small tissues of the limestone, dIssolves 1t
and further, when the water becomes thor
oughly impregnated with lime it loses its
power to dissolve the stone. Now. all
these conditions exist to-day, as they
doubtless have for countless ages, and so
the great cave constantly increases in size.
There Is lust one drawback to this theory,
and that Is this: carbonic acid gas and
water form the popular drink known as
soda water the body contains some lime
now, this soda-water has produced one
mammoth cave Is 1t likely to produce
many mammoth q" caves" in the human
system? VIII patrons of the iceberg
fountains" consider and answer this query?

WENDELL PHILLIPs' Domestic SnIrLIc-
ITY.-The residence occupied by Mr.. Phil
lips for many years, except during occa-
sional summer absences from the city, Is
an old-time. exceedingly humble-looking
two and half story building in Essex
street, a cosy, sequestered nook in the
city. The house, like almost all of the old
style residences one meets with in Boston,
smacking of revolutionary times and le-
gends, is built close upon the street, with
no grass-plot or railing intervening be-
tween it and the narrow sidewalk. The
door approaching by two steps from the
pavement, is framed under projecting
arch of curious fashion of construction,
with the name Phillips rudely painted
upon one of the panels. Altogether, in
the appearance of the dwelling and its
surroundings, it Is Just such simple abode
as in a large city would be supposed to be
within reach of and likely to be occupied
by an industrious artisan or person of very
limited means Yet under its lowly roof
has dwelt for years the seer whose pro-
phetic lips long in advance, have toretold
page after page of our swiftly-enacted
American history-the scorned and re-
viled fanatic Of yesterday, but the JUS
tilted champion of human rights of to-day
he, to whose Cincinnatus lowliness of
abode, gladly and proudly, as on a pilgrim
age to a shrine, have journeyed the ad-
mirers attracted by fame that has pene-
trated every quarter of the civilized world.
Possessing an income far beyond his
simple expenditures, the receipts derived
from his numerous lecturing engagements,
with all other superabundant means, are
expended annually in deeds of charity.
OF his silent, unostentatious gifts to the
needy, much of which never reaches the
ear of the public, whose loiters around
among the humber of the old residents of
Boston will hear many affecting variations.
A leveler in theory, Mr. Phillips is con-
scientious t a degree rare IN our time,
that his everyday life and practice should
correspond strictly with the enunciation
of his public opinions. Than the interior
of his home and the appliances for creature
comforts, nothing could be simpler. Only
books and pictures, and the brooding
presence of culture and high refinement
beautifying all, make different the home of
the thinker, the humanitarian, the nations
foremost orator, from the humble abode of
one of the toiling masses, for the amel-
ioration Of whose condition his life is
henceforth consecrated.-L Letter to Nclc
York Times.

on Change to-day wheat was irregular for The
several grades, but without important change.
The cotton market was weak and lower.
MONEY IRREGULAR.
The money market repeated itself Ia the features
OF opening stringent and closng easy. Early In the
day borrowers lenders kept aloOf from engage
ments ana 1t was late before transactions COM
mcnced. The first business revealed q smart de-
mand at seven gold on STOCKS and at seven
currency on government bonds. Lenders hercupon
advanced their terms and succeeded in getting com.
missions OF 1-32 and 1-18 sometimes, along with the
legal interest," Tor tnrning stocks The rate govern.
meat collaterals alternately seven currency and
seven gold. Toward three O'Clock. however, there
was sudden pressure to lend and balances were
offered at seven, and finally at six per cent. The
relaxation came simultaneously with the announce
ment from Chicago that the banks there instead OF
having suspended, a. was reported at one time TO-
day, had more currency than they knew wnat to do
with, and would ship some OF It TO New York.
Great Interest Is manifested concerning the bank
statement that VIII be made tomorrow. In view OF
the Temporary plans Of the weatnier operators on
the stock Exchange It will probably no as good rs
they can help IL to be.
Prime commercial paper is still refused on the
street except at q heavy discount. Dealers get
ting into the habit OF quoting II after tho Yves ern
fashion, 10y 80 muoh per month, instead OF per an

drawers advanced their rates to 1881 for SIXTY
DAY sterling and 100 for sight bills In actual
business the difference between sixty day and

the easier feeling OF the London money market

Cold was weak. and as usual after so large q de-

large quantity Of long gold bought at higher prices
and also induced q fresh speculation for decline.
