An.Ice Adventure.

Messrs. Smith, Hale, and Tappin of Sioux
City, Ia, were down on the Missouri bot
tom, near Decatur, last week and very
anxious to get across the river. The re-
ports which they heard in regard to the
strength of the ice were SO conflicting that
they hesitated to venture upon it for long
time. Finally they procured small boat
and made the venture. Tappin pulled ON
a rope attached to the bow, while Smith
pushed at the stern. The object in taking
the boat was, in case the ice gave way, to
have it handy to take to, and thus save
themselves from watery grave. 1t was
agreed that Mr.. Hale-he being a large
man-should remain ON shore until Smith
and Tappin had gained the other bank,
wher he should follow on his hands and
knees. The parties with the boat reached
the other side in safety, when Mr.. H.,
struck out as previously arranged. He
spread himself out like bat, in order to
cover as much surface as he could, and
thus crawled oil his stomach for half an
hour-a very fatiguing process of nayiga-
ton. At the end of half an hour he had
reached midway of the river, when he
heard noise behind him that filled his
soul with terror. He thought the ice was
breaking up and that he was a goner, sure.
He looked around and there was a team of
horses attached to load Of wood. He
sprang to his feet to escape being run over,
and lit out for his comrades, who were ly-
ing on the ground almost choked with
laughter over their groundless fears and
Mr.. Hale's adventure.

On the Wrong Boat.

He was an Irishman, and when first seen
he was coming down Montague street,
Brooklyn, on his way to the Wall street
ferry. Over his port shoulder hung bag
containing about bushel of potatoes, and
in his STAFFORD hand he carried stout
stick. Being under full sail, the momen-
tum acquired in coming down the steep
grade carried him nearly through the gate
way, when, seeing boat ten feet from the
dock, he shook out another reef, made an
astonishing burst of speed and jumped.
Just as he reached the dock the potato bag
shifted heavily to port and laid out

it contained pertaining to the bears. In fact the
condition of speculation has been SO like that of
yesterday and indeed of several yesterdays for that
matter that extended comment seems unnecessary
While it is reasonably clear, however, that there is
quite a large short interest out, indicated by the
prices paid to lenders of the leading stocks sold at
the board fact which leads the disconsolate bulls
TO hope for something good whenever the shorts
may think it necessary to cover, yet he will
probably make mistake who attributes-as
many do-the late decline and present heayiness
of the market entirely to the movements of the bear
cques. Very much of the present depression may
be accounted for from the general prostration of
business throughout the country which, as a matter
of course, materially interferes with tho profits of

Change And then it should not be forgotten bv
those who think that stocks are now selling be-
low their intrinsic value that confidence in values
which was so thoroughly Frustrated by the panic of
last Autumn, has been but partially recovered. So
1t must not be expected that capitalists outside of
the professional spectators who buy or sell because
OF some combination supposed combination to ad-
vance or depress prices will invest with avidity until
they feel quite sure that the securities they may

Hunt and another " Atoms" by Professor Clifford
The former offers interesting specuations on the

Hunt the possibility OF the gigantic mass OF the blazing

the has been the production of organized masses

developed fixed equivalent of matter has changed its
form On the sun, in like manner every cubic mile OF
sunshine represents the change OF form OF equivalent
Of solar matter. But that equivalent OF matter s
longer capable of supplying force unless by
dtions, beyond grasp at present, 1t takes up
again that which ii has lost. That something
OF this kind must take place, Mr. Hunt ahlrms is

and their orbits would be changed. Mr.. Hunt
suggests an explanation Of the stability of the
solar system derived from the laws OF electricity IL
has shown by Faraday that the quantity cleo
rety contained in body is exactly the quantity
sary decompose that body. This law is found TO
be of the other ysca forces BY the combustion
