The GOOD effect of the closing OF the StocK
Exchange on Saturday, the united action Oh
the banks in issuing the ten million loan GER
,;fcates. and the decision of the Government
to nprcbase 10 AN unlimited extent the five
twenty bonds, continued until yesterday morn
ing. But the Loan Certificates being wholly
taken, a large amount of bonds having been
converted into greenbacks which were IN
stantlv absorbed. and an unprecedented demand
from the country banks having been made for
the return of the immense loans to the city
banks, an uneasy feeling began to prevail
about noon, and runs were made on one or
two houses and several banks. About three
o'clock this anxiety was increased, and the
panic renewed by the failure of the banking
house of Henry Clews g. Co., which after pay
ing out s., 100000, and unable to realize on its
mercantile paper, had its checks dishOnOred
by the Fourth National Bank, and immedi-
ately closed its doors.
The effect on the public was instantaneously
depressing, and a renewal of the excitement
of Saturday followed. The agitation, how
ever, was confined wholly to the outside public,
who knew only specifically of Henry Clews &
Co. as doing a large business and as the
lately announced fiscal agents of the Gov
eminent; it did not extend to the bet
ter informed financiers. At the Fifth
Avenue Hotel the noisy crowd of small
brokers and clerks and a few more prominent
but not important men gathered and nOisily
discussed the financial aspect of the failure of
the political bankers. AT various clubs, where
more substantial men met, the wiser and
weightier opinions seemed to be that the fail
ure was most to be regretted because OF the
unfortunate revival of the fears of a general
panic,

Rapids and Minnesota Railroad, which earns mil
lion aud half yearly, and miscellaneous stocks.
O. And to these are to be added the personal assets
of the firm A. The firm consists of Henry Clews
and T. S. Fowler, and think their personal assets
are all included in the firm.
Q. Did yon have account with the Bank Of the
Commonwealth 7 We had small account-a very
small account there.
@. What precipitated the failure today A. Our
Clearinghouse checks came IN on all in a bunch,
and had nothing but these unavailable assets to
answer with. We had placed number of them IN
the hands of the Fourth National, the bank which
clears for u.s. the day before and when Mr. Clews went
TO them to-day to ask for further accommodation on
equally ample security. they declared they could no
longer run the risk. Mr.. Clews there all the
morning, but the bank firmly persisted, and when
our checks were returned could do only one
thing-close the doors.
Q. What was the amount coming against you
through the Clearinghouse to-day A. hundred
and sixty thousand dollars.
Q. Have YOU any prospect of reopeningf A.
Heaven only knows! Our securities would be more
than enough to set right in ordinary times
When the money market improves we may resume
Q. What amount of depositorS' balances remain
on hand A. 1t is impossible to say until the books
are fully searched-impossible even to make an APP
pToximate estimate.

THE LONDON BRANCH.
Many inquiries were made as to the effect the
suspension of Henry Clews d Co, would have upon
the house of Clews, Habicht 81 Co., the London
branch Clews, Habicht d Co. are the fiscal agents
of the State Department for Europe, and although
the amount passing through the house from the State
Department is not large it is sufficiently so to
cause considerable inconvenience for short time
if the firm suspends. TO all inquiries made OF the
employees conversant with the details of the busl-
ness of the Wall-st. house they replied that they
could not tell how far the suspension would affect
the London house, and that they did not think any
decision had been made in the matter.

mamma to the spot, and as she opened
| the door, in came Snap. His head and
the remains of his tail were bent SO low
that they nearly met, and he rather rolled
than ran to Lulu, and cast himself on his
back at her feet, just as he often did when
he wished to beg for mercy. Mamma
could not help laughing, it was so funnyi
And advising Lulu to forgive Snap. she
promised to explain it all. This Lulu
ed by her children's return; and as soon
as she had done hugging the six dolls
in spite of their condition-she petted
Snap, to that worthy's unbounded de-
light, and then ran to mamma to hear
how it all came about.
Mamma told her that when the first
doll was missed she and papa suspected
Snap; so they arose very early the next
morning to watch him. Looking out of
the window just as day was beginning to
dawn, they saw the little fellow come out
Trotting swiftly along, he cast the poor
thing into large mud-puddle in the back
part of the yard. The next morning he
did the same thing with another; and the
next he carried out three dolls, one at q
time. Evidently the little dogs con-
science had troubled him, for at the end
of a week he f1shed them all out, and re-
set them just as they were when he car
ried them of.
papa made them all right by buying six
new ones-six was always Lulu's idea OF
proper sized family-and after this Snap
assisted the little mother, as gravely and
dutifuHy as before, in her morning and
evening care of her children, and once
more they lived a happy little family.
Thus ended Snaps first and last revenge.

How a Dog Wasss Sold"

Here is true dog story: A family
down town having false crate in one
of the rooms of the house placed some red
paper behind it to give the effect of fire.
One of the coolest days this winter the
dog belonging to the household came in
from out of doors, and seeing the paper
and laid down before it, curled up in the
best way to receive the glowing heat as it
came from the fire. Heremained motion
less for few moments; feeling no
warmth he raised his head and looked
over his shoulder at the crate; still feel
ing no heat he arose and carefully applied
his nose to the CRATE and smelt of 1t. 1t
was cold as ice. With a look of the most
supreme disgust, his tail curled down be-
tween his legs, every hair on his body say
ing "Pm so1d," the dog trotted out of the
room, not even deigning. to cast a look at
the party in the room who had watched
his actions and laughed so heartily at his
misfortunes. That dog had reason as
well as instinct.-Troy Times.

SIack's Disease.

"Get up, little boyI You are lying in
bed too long; breakfast will soon be
ready. The canary-bird has taken his
bath, and is now singing a sweet song.

Oliver Reed, one frosty morning in No.

he had one fault-he was too fond of ".

"DOn't throw the pillow at mel" cried
Oliver; ''1'u premise to get up in five
minutes"
"If you would be healthy, wealthy and
wise, you must rise early, little boy, said
| Charlotte.
| When Oliver came down to the break
fast table, his father said:
"How is this, Oliveri You are late
again"
Oliver hung his head and Charlotte
said:
81 woke him In good season, sir; but
he went off to sleep again the minute 1
left the room, though he promised to be

81 went to sleep and forgot all about
| it." said Oliver.
"Come here, my boy, and let me feel of

from disease which is very common at
Ills LlIuc
Oliver gave his hand to his father, who,
after feeling of his pulse, said:
eyes, it IS as I thought. Poor Oliver
has Stacks disease. Take him up to bed
again, Charlotte. Darken the room, and
let him go to sleep again. Put his break
fast by the side of the bed; and, when he
feels strong enough, he can eat it. He
may stay at home from school to-day"
The little boy wondered what Sacks
disease could be; but he went up stairs
with his sister, and was put to bed. He
could not sleep, however. He heard chill
dren playing out of doors; he heard
Ponto barking, and Tommy, the canary
bird, singing sweet song.
Then Oliver called his sister, and said.
Charlotte, what is Stacks disease? Is
it dangerous?'
~ rather think not" said Charlotte.
'You dear little simpleton. don't you
know what father meant? He meant you
were troubled with laziness; that's all"
Oliver saw that trick had been played
On him. He jumped out of bed, dressed,
and ate his breakfast, and ran off to
school, where he arrived just in season.
Since that day Oliver has been the first
up in the house. He is no longer troy

THE FOX IN THE WE'LL.

BY J. T. TRowBRIDGE.
Sir Reynard once, as I've heard tell,
Had fallen into a farmers well,
When Wolf, his cousin, passing by,
Heard from the depths his dismal cry.
Over the wheel a well-chain hung,
From which two empty buckets swung;
At one, drawn up beside the brink.
The Fox had paused, no doubt, to drink,
And. putting In his head, had tipped
The bucket: Fox and bucket slipped,
And, hampered by the bail, he fell,
As have said. into the well,
AS down the laden bucket went,
The other made it's swift ascent.
His cousin, Wolf, beguiled to stop,
Listened astonished at the top,
Looked down, and by the uncertain light
Saw Reynard In a curious plight
There in his bucket at the bottom,
Calling as II the hounds had got him!
"what do you theres" his cousin cried,
'Dear Cousin Wolf" the Fox replied,
sin coming to the well to draw
Some water, what dye think sawl
It glimmered bright and still below;
You've seen it, but you did not know
1t was a treasured Now, behold
I've got my bucket filed with gold,
Enough to buy ourselves and wives
Poultry to last us all our Evesf'
The Wolf made answer. with a grin,
Dear me! thought you'd tumbled inl
What, then, is all this noise abouty'
Because could not draw it out,
! called to you," the Fox replied,
First halp me, then we will divide"
.sHow?" "Get into the bucket there"
The Wolf, too eager for a share,
Did not one moment pause to think
There hung the bucket by the brink,
And in he stepped. As down he went,
The cunning Fox made his ascent,
Being the lighter of the two
THAT'S right. ha, ha! how well you do!
How Glad hplptb
Wolf struck the water with yelp;
The Fox leaped out: Dear Wolf" said he,
you've been so very kind to me,
I'll leave the treasure all to you:-
1 hope twill do You good! Adieul
There comes the farmerI' OFF he shot,
And disappeared across the lot,
Leaving the Wolf to mediate
Upon his miserable fate
To lattering craft a victim made,
By his own grecdiness betrayed

A Boys Ideas of Heads.

The Young american, Rogersville,
Tenn, publishes the following boys COM
position on "Heads:"
Heads are of different shapes and sizes.
They are full of notions Large heads do
not always hold the most. Some persons
can tell just what man is by the shape
of his head. High heads are the best
kind. Very knowing people are called
long, headed. A fellow that won't stop
for anything or anybody is called hot
headed. If he isn't quite so bright they
call him softheaded; if he won't be coax
Animals have very small heads. The
heads of fools slant back. Our heads are
all covered with hair, except bald heads.
There are other kinds of heads besides
our heads. There are barrel heads, heads
of sermons-and some ministers used to
have fifteen heads to one sermon; pin
heads; heads of cattle, as the farmer calls
his cows and oxen; head winds; drum
heads; cabbage-heads; loggerheads; come
to a head, like a boil; heads of chapters;
head him off; head of the family, and go
ahead-but first be sure you are right"

THE WRONG DIRECTIoN.-The New

clerk of that paper in sending away his
mail recently used among his wrappers
some waste title pages of a sermon printed
in its job office, and on it was motto so
that the direction on one of the packages
read, "New York City. Always abound

congruity of such direction in view OF
the Ring swindles and the frequent muir
ders which have of late characterized that
city was so striking that he called atten-
ton to the curious confederation of

since at which he was present. Among
the speakers was the venerable Rev. DIR.

voice from the multitude was heard by
all, "Chicago is not on that road" The
effect was electrical, especially upon the
poor old gentleman, who was so confused
that he could say no more and was obliged
to sit down.

as possible under existing circumstance
There are now confined as prisoners 20 per-

thereby indicating that the remaining part
will soon follow, to the peril and injury Of all
