1neSe quotations are inconsistent and
are out Of proportion. If the bonds which
have $500 in fundable and $50 in cash
coupons attached are worth roc, then the
bonds with these coupons detached would
he worth 60c, and if the funded and regis
tered series are only worth SOC, then the
bonds which are quoted at roc are, in fact,
worth but 74Ie.
These quotations may be nominal, but
we think il is evident our bonds are weak
and lower. We believe the cause of this
distrust is that it is being whispered that
the January interest will not be paid. We
believe this to be entirely erroneous, and
that the January interest will be paid with
out doubt. BOththe Comptroller and State
Treasurer assure all parties who converse
with them ON the subject that there is no
doubt whatever of the ability Of the State
to pay the January interest and that it will
be paid. We think that the assurance of
these vell-infOrmed State officials should
be taken IN preference to that of gentlemen
who have not the same facilities OF know
ing the condition of the State Treasury.
In our local stocks and bonds there is
nothing doing. For quotations we refer to
those given by the Nashville Savings Com
pany, corner Union and College streets.

A Broken-DOwn Wall Street Gambler.

A New YORK letter to the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the history of Wall street
stock-gambler who has played out his
hand:
Here is man of sixty who looks eX
tremely shattered, and, as he is an old
acquaintance, | am much interested in
his case He has wife and family
which have for years considered them
selves rich, but they are now poor and
must remain so. The present is hard
enough, but the future looks worse. The
man sunk everything he had in one
week. He spends certain amount of
time every day at the Stock Exchange,
indulging his feelings and trying to recall
the past. After this he goes to his task
and tolls through the duties which now
give him bread
have known this man half lifetime,
and knew his father also. The latter
was a thrifty man, who by great industry
paid for a farm which he bequeathed to
| this fellow and his sister. The young
man studied law and had good practice,
but he got to specializing in stock, and
| this destroyed his habits of labor. He
made some hits which only led him to
bolder attempts. His luck continued,
and at last he became proverbially sue
cessful, so much so that many applied to
him for advice on the subject He grad
ually reached fortune of $150,O0O, which
was secure in his own hands week be-
fore the panic. His sisters money was
also in his possession. AT that time (Au-
gust, 1871 he concluded that Central
Hudson, which stood at par, would go to
1870 and he spread his $l50,00O so as to
control a million. In others he bought
million worth and paid $l5O,OOO down
as margin, and bank lent him the re
mainder, holding his stock as security
His plans were disappointed. The panic
knocked the stock down to eighty-flve
and the bank demanded its money. Hi'
loan was at five days call and he coul(
, not meet it. The stock was sacrificed
> and in one week he was beggared, be

tunately, he has since got employment a
800 month, and this keeps him iron

RnVing a Railroad.

THE fact that fruit cars are hauled
from San Francisco to Chicago for
$1,000 per car reminds the editor of a
little story:
Shortly after the completion of the
Union Pacific an old friend of ours and
an inveterate wag, Ed. Ray, who owned
big rancho in Carson Valley, New,
came through to Chicago, and while in
the city concluded to buy carload of
agricultural implements for use on his
farm. He visited the Union Pacific office
and inquired the price of a car, and the
agent, taking his address, promised to
drop him line giving him rates. In due
time the notification arrived the figures
being somewhere up in the thousands.
Ed. read the note carefully and then sent
the following reply:
DEAR SIR-I regret that was not little more
explicit in my language yesterday Your hRuies
would imply that you understood me as being
! desirous of huying your railroad, whereas wish
| only to hire one car one trip. When desire 70
| purchase a railroad shall hunt one that is held
at lower figures than you hold yours
The result was that Ed. was hunted
up, and negotiations entered into by
which he got his car at reasonable price,
on the ground, we believe, of being "a

WASHINGTON, Oct. 90.
TIE PrasiAant has ;ss,,ad thu fallnur;.,e-
proclamation:
BY the President of the United States
We are reminded by the changing sea-
son that it is time to pause in our daily
vocations and offer thanks to Almighty
God for the mercies and abundance of
the year which is drawing to close.
The blessings of free government con-
tinue to be vouchsafed. The earth has
responded to the labor of the husband
man. The land has been free from pes
thence, internal order is maintained and
peace with other powers has prevailed.
1t is fitting that at stated periods we
should cease from our accustomed pur-
suits and from the turmoil of our daily
lives and unite in thankfulness for the
blessings of the past and the cultivation
of kindly feelings toward each other
Now, therefore, recognizing these con-
siderations, !, U. S. Grant, President of
the United States, do recommend to all
citizens to assemble in their respective
places of worship, Thursday, the Goth day
of November next, and express their
thanks for the mercy and favor of AL
mighty God and, laying aside all politi-
cal contentious and all secular occupa
tions, to observe such day as day OF
thanksgiving and praise.
In witness whereof l have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington on the
Goth day of October, 1874, and of the in
dependence of the United States th'
ninety-eighth year.

A Happy Family.

The San Francisco papers tell us of a
poor Missouri family who found them
selves perfectly destitute in San Fran
cisco, and also found friends in the hour
of their greatest need. Such incidents
are pleasant to read of, and the recital
always put us in better humor with
humanity, no matter how content and
selt-satisfied we may be. A poor man of
forty or thereabouts, thinly clad and
starved-lcoking, went to the wharf one
evening and inquired of a 'longshoreman
Tor yessel going 10 mendUUina. 1t was
getting late, the man was shivering with
cold, and conversation ensued between
the two poor men. The stranger said he
was from Missouri, and had with him
family consisting of awife and eight chill
dren. The wife and children soon came
up; they were all shivering and starved
looking. The man said he had expected
to find friends in San Francisco, but as
certained that they had gone to Mendo-
Gina. The family had been obliged to
sell all the clothing they had except the
thin covering they had on to buy food.
They had no money and no place to
sleep, and the night wind was coming
chilly and cold from the sea. No vessel
was going that night. The 'longshoreman
was touched in tender place. He was
rough, but he understood human nature;
saw that large, clinging family in dis
tress, and took off his hat and put his
heart and dollar in it. He carried
round the hat among his fellows-all
poor--and in few minutes collected
thirty dollars. which he handed to the
distressed AisseuSaia4Rbo a4Rbo1 f66f f66f fllas fllsn lYHs
and a comfortable bed to sleep in, and
they had prospects for the morrow too.
Mendocina was to them promised land.
A vessel would leave at nine o'clock in
the morning Maybe the Captain would
be kind. They were up early and on the
wharf, but not before their friends of the
night before, who were there to finish up
their work. The Captain had been seen.
He agreed to take the family to their
destined port if they could feed them.
selves on the passage. Now it Dds all
right. The 'longshoremen had attended
to that. They had brought with them
when they had come to their daily toll
bundles of clothing and baskets of food.
Shawls, coats, pantaloons, shoes, etc,
were among the stores which they could
spare, and which their wives had bundled
up for them. Such tokens of kindness
made the parents and their children cry
for joy. The Missouri family went off on
the schooner, and the 'longshoremen
never felt happier in their lives.-St
Louis Republican.

A NOTICE in city paper That "bov"
is wanted Is pretty likely to be answered
by whole mUltipllcation-table of boys,
The New York correspondent Of titc
London dHtertcnt tells how he saw the
thing managed ut the corner of Fulton
and Nassau streets, where citizen was
besieged by brigade of applicants:
We are continually hearing of the
advantages of advertising, but the disad-
vantages of that process for making
known ones wants have never been told
VIII give few instances. A friend of
mine was walking through Bond street
the other morning when he came upon
crowd of over hundred boys standing
in front OF a house. They were laughing
and screaming, and completely blocked
up the sidewalk.
My friend stopped to see what was
going on, and was surprised TO see the
door of the house open suddenly and
mans hand thrust out into the crowd,
grab a boy, pull him inside, and bang the
door shut again.
"Such singular conduct excited his Gu
riosity, and on going up to q man who
was sitting on the front steps of the
house he asked him what was the mat
ter
go Nothing at all, said the man, only
we HuVeruSeu 1Or 1Our DOyS IN This morn
ing's papers, and early as it is you see
the result There was nothing left for
the man who wanted the boys 60 do but
make his selection from the window,
then grab the boy and pull him ln."
The effect of advertising for "a giFp'
would seem to be still more perplexing.
The same writer goes on to say;
My friend told this incident to
well-knOwn merchant the other day,who
related similar experience. Some
time ago. said the merchant, I had oc-
casion TO advertise for half-grown girl
to take care of child stated in my
advertisement that the applicant mus
call at two o'clock in the afternoon.
90 went down to my stor as usual
but had not been there over two hours
when a messenger arrived, saying that l
must come home Immediately, that the
house was full of girls, and that my wife
had been obliged to call in policeman.
Hurrying home, | found that not only the
downstairs hall was full, but thu. the
halls up to the third story were equally
filled with "half-grown girls" '''
1.-THE front door had been closed upon
them, but those inside took possession of
the house and let the others in. They
would not go even when threatened by
the officer, and it took me the whole day
to ask them questions and tell them they
would not do He finally settled upon
girl who came precisely at two o'clock,
and she proved an excellent servant"
