A TEXAS exchange gives this pen
picture of n local Maud Muller: She
stood in the centre Of a potato patch
and was vexiug the ground with hoe.
about twenty summers had passed over
sher head, which seened never to have
been combed. She couldn't have Dor.
rowed a cnrrycomb to subdne that head
of hair without first deposiiing colat-
erals to have it repaired after she got
through with it. E,r face resembled a
pretty mask made of mud, and her eyes
sparkled through couple of cracks
like diamonds. A peculiar and win
ming grace attended her every move
ment, and had fortune been kind to
her she would doubtless have shone as
a bright and particular star among
the most attractive of her sex.

escape from the hospital of st. Louis,
aud threw himself into the river. he
was drngeed~out and secured without
much trouble by the gendarmes. Un-

on the roof of house, and obstin-
ately refused'to descend. The madman
demolished chimney and fnng the
bricks at all who approached him. The
fire engine WAS brought out against
him, bnt he was not to be driven from
his post by water. An attempt was
made to take the position by assault,
but'fhe man who volunteered TO climb
the chimney was soon put hors de CON-
Zqt. A strong noreotic was mixsd with

but it had no effect on Lepretre, who
Kept his post for two days and two
nights. At last, tired of waiting. the

having been wounded by two Chass-

1t is scarcely likely that the bill providing
Tor the reorganization OF the Treasury will
very materially affect the present apportion
ment OF clerks from the states and terri
tories. The bill as originally drawn did pro-
vide that after January 1st, 1876, appoint
ments should be distributed among the seye-
raj states, territories, and the District of
Columbia according to population, but Just
before the passage of the bill the significant
words ''as far as practicable" were inserted
after the word distributed" thus seriously
impairing the force of the bill aud actually
rendering the appOrtionment optional with
The Secretary OF the Treasury. That such an
apportionment as was con tenn plated by the
law Is Impractical BILE there is not much reason
TO doubt The much harped upon complaint
that the District OF Columbia has more than
er proportion of employees in the depart
rents is due simply to the fact that at least
. ne-half of such persons are improperly
credited to the District, since they are ma
lives of the different states but give the Dis
frict as the place from which they hail
simply because their temporary homes are
here.

There was a marked advance in securities
and stocks at the New York stock exchange
yesterday. The New York Posi- says that
the market during the past three weeks has
been oversold on the reports OF failures, bank
i-Oubles, bad business, &C., and now that
aL1irs are discovered TO be not so bad as had
been represented, anu an effort is made to
cover short sales, prices rebound quickly
In BostC I the IfDeteT says that its predic-
lions two weeks since regarding business
have been more than fulfilled, but IL admits
that the restoration OF confidence in trade,
however, has taken its start in the west and
south. The cattle-dealers, who make the
west their principal field OF operations-and
they are about as shrewd judges of general
markets as can be found report the state of
trade in Chicago and its tributaries as never
better. The banks there are freely discount
ing and advancing, the producers are OBJ
tanning cash for their products, and the cir
culation throughout the business portions
has been vastly improved within the past
Two weeks.

Il New York whiting?

Reference was made In this column, day
or two ago, TO the disquietude in New York
business circles in consequence of the diver
sion of the grain trade from that city to the
other sea board cities. 1t seems now that
New York has new source of alarm In the
heavy depreciation of real estate In that
city. On Wednesday a sale of a hundred
and twenty eight lots located on Fourth,
Park Madison, Fifth, and Eleventh avenues
and various up town streets, took place. The
bidding was slow, aud the prices paid ranged
from twenty-five TO fifty per cent. less than
they would have brought two years ago, In
some cases barely covering the mortgage on
them This sale, with other private dispo-
sails of vacant and occupied property, shows
that real estate has suffered an enormous
depreciation in value within a couple OF
years in New York. In some cases the
shriDkage amounts to over fifty per cent,
and sweeps away the whole margin between
the mortgage and the former valuation.
Hundreds OF real estate operators who sup
posed they were rich find themselves poor,
If not actually bankrupt, by this unexpected
collapse of speculative prices, and even saw
ings banks and insurance companies have in
some cases found ii impossible to realize the
fun amount advanced on mortgage security.
The New York papers, however, profess to
find silver lining to this dark cloud. The
Graphic, commenting upon the matter, says
that this sudden and immense tumble in real
estate will make hundreds of people who had
supposed themselves rich on broad margins,
pepniless, but that it will break the rule of
the real estate ring, which inflated prices to
a fictitious standard and succeeded in rails
ing the assessments far above their proper
level. The real estate has been taxed in some
cases from twenty to forty per cent. above
its real value, ard one of the first conse-
quences of this collapse in its fictitious valu-
alton will be Its reassesSnent at its actual
worth. 1t is held that one reason why no
more building has been done In New York
for the last few years Is that lots were so high
10 one could buy them for building purposes
without running the risk of ruinous losses
IL is the fictitious value of our real estate
that makes rents so enormous and drives so
many people from the city to reside. The
rapid growth of Philadelphia is largely
owing TO the fact that land In that city is
comparatively cheap, while in New York Ii
has been held at fabulous prices. A tumble
OF nfty per cent. I'm the price of real estate
would therefore, IL is argued, prove a real
gain 10 the city in the long run by increasing
the demand for stores and houses, and their
sale for actual occupancy. 1t will also have
an important effect in stopping extravagant
expenditures for ornamental purposes by the
city government The Taxpayers will not
stand an increase of assessment They have
reached the point where tax-paying ceases
TO be a virtue.

A staff correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes to that paper from Pittsburg
concerning the political prospects In Penn
sylvania, as follows:
"The news of the Ohio election has fallen
upon the democratic Imitation movement in
western Pennsy lvania like an October frost
on rank weed, willing IL in day. The
noisy crowd, who pushed the Ohio platform
down the throat of the Erie convention with
elamor, threats and boasting, and who de-
ciared that IL insured 10000 majority for the
ticket nominated there, are now a very meek
and modest lot OF mem. All the bounce is
taken out OF them, and they mildly suggest
mat perhaps IL would be Just as we'll not to
say much about the currency question in the
canvass, but TO go in heartily on the reform.
