New York Dry Goods MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The principal no.
ticeable feature in.to-day's transactions was
increased frmness in printing cloths, which
may be quoted at 8 for sixty-four X sixty
four. This has had its effect on al kinds
of domestics which, although the demand
is languid and consumption curtailed, is
still affected by the unusual price Of staple.
There is no change in prints, which are dull
and inactive. WoOlens are also duh, but
buyers are gradually accepting advanced
figures ruling, and make the best terms that
probably the condition Of the wool market
viii allow.

THE TERRIBLE Drank.

To the museum department OF the
Public Library Of Kentucky there
came yesterday an instrument Of tor
ture which reflects much disgrace on
mankind rs the rack, the wheel. or
any of tho.c terrible machines which
cruelty Invented for Its Victims. IL
was a Drank or scold's Bride Of the
kind used years ago In England and
Scotland for the punishment Of females
who were adjudged to haze made too
free use Of the tongue. It was dug
from the ground In Il sister atate OF
Tennessee. where, beneath the walls
Of an u~uinhabited building, 1t had lain
time out of mind. It bears the rust OF
wears, and 10 doubt came to this couil-
try with the earliest settlers. POSI-
bly soine lord of creation, who had \
.colding wife In the old world, brought
with him to the new his vixatrix and
Instrument Of controlling her.
Ii consists OF an irou band to pass
under the chin, and over the top part
Of the head, with q sharp chlsel-
shaped projection, extending two
inches Inwardly, TO be inserted Into
the mouth. 1t was held In It's place
by another Iron band extending round
the back part OF the head, and fastened
with a paddock. When the instru.
ment was thus put on the scold her
tongue had to recede to the back part
of her mouth, aud there remain quiet
or be cut to pieces by the sharp edge
Of the iron put there for that purpose.
10 scold, or even talk In this tix. wa
impossible. and the woman thus
bridled had to keep silence.-LoufsrfHt

RIFF wlLLIAMs.

Meredith R. Williams, familiarity
known to everybody in Storey county
as Riff Williams, who died on Sunday
morning at Virginia, was In former
times probably at least as we'll
known as any other man In this sec-
ton. He was a prominent member of
the Virginia Fire Department for
years, coeval with Pete Larkin, Tom
Peasley and Others Of the old boys
who hare passed away, and was By
many considered to the most efficient
Chief Of the Department. We, In COM
mon with hundreds ofothers have gazed
with admiration upon his coolness In
times Of ronflagration, even In the
midst OF imminent danger, where all
depended upon his energy aud COM
manding executive ability. A hero Ia
defense of life and property, he
was also a Woodworking man aud
good husband and citizen. AL will
remember his brave conduct and unre-
mitting efforts ut the time OF the
great Gold Hill mining calamity.
He worked heroically and we'll
to save the lives Of HIS fellow
miners, and to rescue their bodies from
that terrible grave. and In so doing he
too freely inhaled the fatal gas, aud
sowed the seeds Of tho very disease,
consumption. of which he died. From
that very time his health declined un-
I'll some five months ago he LEFT, aud
sought 10 California a restoration OF
health. Falling Ia this. he returned
some five weeks ago to his old home
and friends in the land Of sageorush,
and died amid the peace and quiet OF
home and friends. His funeral yester-
day was largely attended BY numerous
friends, who sought 10 render the last
fond tribute to the true. u~npretentious
hero and man, Riff Williams.
