The New York stock exchange markets opened
with an almost buoy ant feelin yesterday, owing
per cent. money market, as the result of Satur-
days favorable bank statement. This improve
ment received Q shock, however, 80 far O. the
stock market was concerned, after the first
board, when there was q break Of about per
cent in Pacific Mail, which stock is extrem ely
sensitive, and for several days has been the sub
ject Of conflicting rumors- As to the future OF

that il is slowly but steadily passing from under

A Greenland glacier is moving river
of ice, flowing on and on to the sea, less
rapidly than the uncongealed streams,
but as surely. No tide ascends to check
its current, or TO mar the purity of its
waters; high up, it moves steadily along
till 1t reaches its mouth. There, on the
rocky cliff it pauses, presenting to the
eye mass of ice, deep-blue in assures,
initiating in its fantastic forms every
style of architecture-apparently a crys-
tai city. Such an one doubtless met the
bewildered eyes of Brendan, centuries
ago, as in his coracle he skinned over
the northern seas. Such was the scene
that met the eyes of the Panther's crew
in the Fiord of Eric the Red, at the ex-
tremity of Smiths Strait.
Masses began to dctach themselves
and descend to the sea, forming icebergs
of various sizes, and sending the spray
in clouds heavenward. At the very end
of the glacier rose a tower two hundred
feet high, and standing boldly out.
Suddenly, as if the rock had yielded
beneath it, the whole city-like mass sank
grandly down, dividing into immense
strata as it fell. The spectators stood
petritied on the Panther's deck and the
opposite shore, when the whole scene
was wrapped in mist, and in the half
light came the flash of falling ice.
Suddenly, amid the din, they beheld
blue mass emerge from the mist, at first
slowly, then with a sudden bound.
Dashing aside The clouds of foam and
vapor, an immense wave, curving grand
ly in its semicircular sweep toward the
heavens, rose, gathering in volume. 1t
upheaved The Panther, held it for a mo-
ment on its crest, and then shot it toward
the rocks.
The most fearful peals of atmospheric
thunder were as nothing compared TO
the crash and roar of this fall, and the
convulsion of sea and air that succeed
ed.
Fear froze every one; but the anchor
held out, and the straining cable did not
part. At its utmost tension, the force
of the wave left it within two fathoms

able to escape the fearful wave, grapplet
the rocks. Que was torn away, an,
ragged along; but except few bruises
even he escaped.
II was half an hour lefore the furioul
sea grew calm. Swaying from centre r.
shore, the oscillations seemed us if neys,
to cease.
The iceberg whose birth was thus wit.
messed sparkled in the sunlight like an
immense tapiS-Lozuk set in silver. the
water around it still one mass of foam.
AZ measured subsequently, it was ono
hundred and thrty-iive feet above the
wafer, and must have been, according
to the usual proportion, nearly thou.
sand feet i'll depth below the surface OF
the sea.
AS it fell, it had turned over, so that
above was the freshly fractured dcep
blue surface, flashing as it swayeI to
and fro. Gradually, however, the blue
color died away, and, pale and cold. Il
moved out of. the iord, to join its sisters
ON the sea.
As may be imagined, the Panther
hauled off to more secure spot. All
had studied sufficiently the genesis oI
icebergs; but the photography and
drawings, mementoes Ut fearful peril,
were a great addition to science, Ut
which those on the Panther that day
may well boast.

Stratagen for "a Dinner.

The following characteristic anec-
dote of Theodore Hook is given i'll Bar
hams life of that extraordinary man.
One of the streets near Soho Square,
either Dean Street or Firth Street, was
the scene of action. Hook was loung-
ing up one of these streets in company
with Terry, the actor, when they saw
through the kitchen window prepara-
tions Tor Il handsome dinner.
"What feast!" said Terry. "Jolly
dogs! L should like to make one OF
them"
"i'll take any bet," returned Hook,
shat do; call for me here at ten o.
clock, and you'll find that l shall be
able to give tolerable account of the
worthy gentleman's champagne and
veHison."
SO saying, he marched up the steps,
gave an authoritative rap with the bur-
nished knocker, and was quickly lost to
the sight of his astonished companion.
AS matter of course he was im.nedi-
ately ushered by the servant, as an ex-
pected guest, into the drawing-room,
where a large party had already assem-
bled. The apartment being well nigh
full, no notice was at first taken of his
intrusion, and half-a-dozen people were
laug ghing at his bon mots before the host
discovered the mistake. Affecting not
to observe the visible embarrassment of
the latter, and iugeniously avoiding the
the opportunity for explanation, Hook
ratified ON till he had attracted the great
er part of the company in circle near
him, and some considerable time elapsed
ere the old gentleman was able to
catch the attention Of the agreeable

AMERICAN POSTAGE STAMPs.-There
are now in use l03 different classes of
postage stamps, and 10000 sheets OF LOG
stamps each are printed each working
day. The number of stamps used an
nually is about G50,O0O,O0 and their
average value is SIS, 100000. To pro-
vent error and fraud, the sheets OF
stamps are counted and recounted ten
or twelve times, registered, receipted
for, and counted again, until, what with
handling and cumming, they lose their
original freshness, and have To be pol.
ished up in hydaulic press. They are
distributed by mail to about 35, 900 post
offices in the United States, and orders
are received daily for about 90,OO0,000
stamps. A Government agent gives his
receipt for the stamps, and obtains cor
responding receipts from those to whom
they are distributed. They are manufac-
tured by the Continental Bank Note
Company, and during the month of July
the company had a stock on hand of
$4,000, 900 stamps, valued at So, ,203, ,O0o.

PROHIBITION IMPRAcrICABIILTy.-A Ash
land lady has secured 81 ,l50 damages against
II saloon keeper, under the Affair Liquor Law
Er.
There are men who call themselves
Prohibitionists, who say the Adair law is
nulity. Why it is nullity in some
places is because these complainants have
not the nerve to have the law enforced.
They want some sort of self-acting stat
ute involving the principle of perpetual
motion, that they may be excused from
the labor of turning the crank. The in
coming Legislature, with Il Democratic
majority of fifteen on joint ballot,
will, of course, SO modify the Adair law,
the best temperance act ever passed, as
to render it wholly useless. The Repub-
licans in the Legislature need not worry
over the question, but should allow those
elected on the Prohibition ticket to fight
it out with the party which they have
placed in power by their desertion OF
the only practical and consistent tenn
perance party in the State.
