THERE Is nothing to cause general
alarm in the failure of the banking house
of Duncan, Sherman 4 Co. The house
was old, OF high standing, and enjoyed
an unlimited credit, aud the liabilities
are in consequence very heavy. But as
they are mainly in England, and
with heavy banks and hankins
firms, the general business of this
country will be but little affected. There
is nothing peculiar about the failure and
nothing that can be attributed to the
state of financial affairs in this country
Instead of confining themselves to the
legitimate business of the firm, the in
dividual members and the house itsei
became spectators in cotton, and, as
will sometimes happen, the margins
were too large on the wrong side. Be
sides this the house probably lost heav
ily,by some of the recent failures In Eng
land; these, all togetherywere too much o.
a load to take through, and 1t was
thought most graceful to collapse volun'
tarily before single whisper of sus
picion against the house had been cir
culated.

The New Haven train stops five min

soup coffee, ham-sandwich, .cus'ard pie,
two -doughnuts, and "a piece of sponge
cake" The order was promptly .tilled.
He put the umbrella between his legs,
caught up the cup with ,One-hand, and
carried devastation to the food with the
other. Another cup of coffee was or
dered and swallowed, together with a
third ldoughnut, when the ssignal was
given and he boarded the train with a
second sandwich in one hand, the UNI
lbrella in another, and ;custard in both
corners Of his mouth. When hetook his
seat, he said to another passenger,

A correspondent of an English paper
writes:
A lady ,ofdazzling beauty sat in front
of me, and l dare say each passenger
felt that we were too tightly wedged to-
gether for suchsa warm day. A gentle
man who had assisted the lady whose
beauty was 80 bewitching into the car
riage, squeezed himself with difficulty
down at my left side, that being the
only available space; and from certain
little attentions that passed between
them l concluded they were husband
land wife. iAs we rushed onward, from
the window my eyes glanced o'er the
most striking features OF the landscape,
and could not for the soul OF me keep.
from taking an occasional peep at the
ssyision of delight" before me.
Suddenly the charming creature bent
her head toward the gentleman on my
left, who, nothing 10th, bent forward to
listen. 81 wish we were through that
horrid tunnel" }" said the lady, in accents
Ethat thrilled me like melody. 'sAiter

After the confab, both assumed their up
right position, the whistle sounded, our
speed slaekened, and finally we halted.
A boy who sat next he.gentleman on
my left went out, which circumstance
gave us more room and more comfort, as
we did not feel SO jammed together, the
gentleman having moved a little further
from me. We started, and in mo time
entered the tunnel; and in the darkness
of that tunnel, whether in the body or
out of the bodyI can not tell, but this |
know, had a blessed time, indeed. "A
little light hand was laid on my shoul-
Ider; / felt.a sweet, warm breath fan
l.my face; and, heaven ON earth, in "a
moment jof time, a pair OF delicious,
moist, small dips were rubbing ut mine,
ladmsting themselves to that ecstatic
pressure-that intensifcation of sweet
ness which lips can feel but tongue can
never express. This done, the little
hand slid down my arm, thrilling every
nerve In my hand. May the, gentleman

rance OF the mistake his better half

of rocks near swamp. Reaching the
summit of the ledge, Depuy again heard
deadly rattle, and at the base OF the
hill he discovered many poisonous rep
tiles coiled upon stones and sticks.
The snakes were of various sizes, from
two and half to four and half feet in
length. He set to work dspatching
them, and in less than fifteen minutes he
had killed forty-nine, the rest making
their escape into the rocks and under
brush. 1t was now getting dark, and,
having nearly three miles to go, the two
started on their way to the falls, which
place they reached without any further

Those who knew Mrs. Sartoris, as a

even more as a mother, and her friends

Esteem and pleasure and congratulat alton

the slight imposed upon the yoangster.

with heavy gray-suited compatriots in

The Willy ScaIper:

The railroad reporter OF the Inter.
Ocean has accidentally made discovery
that up to the present time the roads in
teresteu seem to have known nothing of.
Ehe willy scalpers are in possession of
that ,passenger-rate list covering the
whole country, which 1t is the endeavor
of the officials at all times to keep so
strictly private, and are using the in
formation it contains to the expert to
their own advantage and to the loss OF
the companies. aStanding in scaiping
office yesterday, the reporter heard a
gentleman ask the fare to st. Louis.
The sscalper told the gentleman the
Figure charged sby the railroad CON-
panies, but added: 81 can get you there
| for $500. l will sell you first-classl
ticket to st. Joseph, Mo-, for $lZ2O. and
will give you an order on parties in st.
Louis for $9, ,whichyou receive by deliver
ing up the remaining part ofyour tioketi
for st. Joseph" The gentleman pur-
cling in the same way. The regular fare
from ST. Louis to St. Joseph is, $l2.50, SO
| it is seen that the scalper in st. Louis, by
| taking the remainder of the ticket, has
a margin of $3.50, about 81 of which
amount is returned to the Chicago scalp
er for his trouble. Or the Chicago anu
st. Louis men may be, partners, in which
event Inc DIVISION. IS, oil course, equal.
Second-class tickets TO st. Joseph are
aworked" in the. same way, as also
tickets to Kansas city, and almost every
point to which the companies sell
tickets via St. Louis. These facts. have
not been known heretofore, even among
the officials, and no doubt there win be
something Of rumpus. The trouble AL
lies in the fact that the scalpers seem to
get hold OF the private general rate sheet,
somehow or other, Notwithstanding the
efforts to prevent it, and quietly sit
down and figure out paying routes. In q
conversation, with q weli-kn0wn passen-
lger agent, last evening, the gentleman
informed the reporter that it was a
mystery to him how the rate sheet got
out, and that he knew Of no other way
thai the scalpers could obtain copies eX-
cept by stealing them from the job office
in which they are printed, or by brihing
some one connected with the office to
furnish them copias.-Inter-0 0oean- July

An Awkward Predicament.

A humorous incident, the result of abb
sentmindedness and wet weather, oc-
Cured last week, with a prominent
treasury gentleman as the principal per-
former. Business detained him at the
office until after dark, and the rain COM
ing on he WIS still further detained. He
wore new and elegant pair of pants Of
high smaterial, and not Wishing to rum
pie the goods in a June shower, decided
to take them OIL, leave them in the desk,
and homeward pike his weary way in
his Misunderstanding trusting to the
night TO keep them from observation.
He started out umbrellaed, and his
drawers pulled down as closely to his
insteps. as they could be induced to 60.
1t seemed SO natural, and no one appear
ing to notice it, that he forgot about the
condition Of things altogetner-rso en-
tirely SO that he had opportunity TO re-
mark young lady acquaintance glide
past gasiignt on her way to ,amemo-
rial meeting or a Shakespeare club per-
formance. He was only slightly ac-
quainted, but counted, on his umbrella
and the rain TO hurry over and offer his
services as escort. These were readily
accepted, and the couple got t0lerably
intimate through the slushy street SO
much so that when they arrived at the
girls destination she invited him in. He
ought not to have accepted it, but feeling
that a little relaxation, such las is ai-
fforded by our uriamateur idramaties, would
benefit his mental qualifications for the
next civil service examination, over
came his scrupless and entered. Quite a
number of ladies and gentlemen were
present when lhewas ushered in, and,
taking prominent seat, as treasury
lcIerks are won't to do, started with a
iacetious remark to aneighbor q and pull
ed his pantaloonsup to keeplthem from
creasing at the knees. lie stopped in
1.-the middle of the facetlous remark, and
adidnt pull them up either. He merely
gazed at his lower self for a moment In
that steadiast manner in which "a man
loeksywhe he sees something he hasn't
seen before, and with a painful interest
that shows he doesn't care much if he
don't see it again. The females blushed
and puckered their mouths as if they
were starting to whistle and suddenly
recollected tnat they couldn't, and the
gentlemen sm0le wicked smiles. Our
friend arose with velocity, and, merely
murmuring "Great Cottonp slid out OF
the house with celebrity and another
mans umbrella.-Washington Capitol.
