FAGHHT III OUT.

A story is told of daughter Of o
prominent person now in the lee.
ture field, which is peculiarly in.
teresting and suggestive of uncon.
scious wisdom. A gontloman was
invited to the lecturers house to
tea. Immediately on being seated
at the table, the little girl astonish
cd tho family circle and tho guest
by tho abrupt question:
"Whero is your wife,"
Now the gentloman, having beon
recently separated from the part
ner of his life, was taken 80 com.
pletely by surprise that he STAN
mered forth tho truth:
II don't know"
"Dont know!" replied the enfant
terrible. "Why don't you know?"
Finding that tho child persisted
in her interrogatorios, despite the
mild reproof of her parents, he con-
cludod to make cloan breast Of tho
matter, and have it over at once.
SO he said with a calmness which
was tho result OF inward expletives :
"Well, we don't live together we
think, as we tagree, we'd better
not"
He stitlod groan as the child
began again, and darted M oxaspe-
rated look at her parents. But tho
little torment would not bo quieted
until sho exclaimed:
"Can't agree! Then why don't
you fight it out, as pa and mo do 2
vengeance is mine," laughingly
retorted tho visitor, aftor "pa" and
"rna" exchanged looks Of holy hor-
ror, followed by tho inevitable roar.

A SEcRET.--Wm. Wirt's letter to
his daughter, on the "small, sweet
courtesies Of life," contains pas
sage from which O great deal Of
happiness might be learned, IL hood
cd:
II want to tell you q secret. The
way to make yourself pleasant to
others is to show them attention.
The whole world is like the miller
at Mansfield, who cared for nobody
no, not he-because, nobody
cared for him And the whole world
would servo you if you gave them
the cause. Let people see that you
do care for them by showing them
what Sterne so happily called the
small courtesies, in which there is
no parade, whose voice is still to
tease, and which manifest them
selves by tender and affoctionate
looks and little acts Of attention,
giving others the preference in
every little employment, st the to-
bic, in the field, walking, sitting
and standing.

There WAS one feature of the
wedding arrangements which struck
mo might better have been omitted
entirely, or at least very materially
modified, but which, nevertheless,
in the mock it made Of expense, was
quite in keeping with oil tho other
features. l allude to tho provision
made for the hackmen who drove
the guests to and from the festivi-
tics. On tho velvet lawn just out
side the Cabral mansion, q dozen
or more Sevres vases wore set-,
corresponding in size and shape to
an American peach basket-oach
ono of which was heaped to the
brim with the gold coin OF the coun-
try. The drivers as they dropped
their loads had their attention call
ed to the currency in the vases, and
were cordially invited to holp them
selves.

tied they wero promptly replenish

responded 80 heartily to tho invi

him to drive back to town he was
forced to request his two passen-

before mounting the box, returned
to the house and related tho inci

at the mention of the sick wife that
on sudden impulse, he proprosed
a subscription for her benefit. The
response was general, and in short
time the snug sum of $4,000 was
raised among the guests, to which
Cabral added his own check 70,
$4,000 moro saying that he did
not wish any heart to be sad on
that Joyful occasion. When the
$4,000 were handed to the hack
man, "a cordial for your ailing wife

OUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND OUR
cT0rV pvCukNnr

The movement at the Stock Exchange to
compel companies whose securities are there
dealt in TO furnish trustworthy information
in regard TO their properties is making
Roadway. The committee on stock list, to
which all applications to have securities
placed on the list are addressed, and which
either approves or rejects them, have drawn
up form OF agreement which each COM
pany making application for its securities
must sign. This agreement requires the
officers OF the company to furnish state
ment of cal lings and expenses at stated
times, and such other information as the
governing committee may deem desirable
TO protect the interests of the public.-Ne,o
York Tribune.
A motion is now pending in our Stock
Exchange to adopt the New York plan,
and will come up for action at the De-
cember meeting, Certainly, no solvent
corporation can object to furnishing the
information desired; those who refuse,
will do SO for no valid reason, and the
Stock Exchange would be perfectly justi-
fed if they refused to have any dealings
with their paper. There are several fnan-
cial corporations in our city whose affairs
are not beyond suspicion, and the public
are entitled to know their exact status, for
their own safety. And the Stock Ex-
change, through whose members the peo-
pie deal, should be in a condition to give
as exact information, on such matters, as
their lawyer about their litigation in
court, or their doctor about their bodily
;llc
