It Is evident that the dnllness which has ruled
the market for soma weeks, is not likely to be
very soon disturbed. The summer quietude is
now upon us, and 1t is useless to look for sny
improvement for several months- Loan agents
would be tejoiced at some exciting cauae to re-
lieye the present monotony, having no faith
in the old Latin apothegm which Says it is best
'non quieta moyere." There has been some
little doing the past week, but actual loans are
few in number and small in amount. We are
slli advised that interest ia being promptly met
indeed the gentlemen ID charge OF the various

An Editor Under Fire.

An old Saugutuck editor uamed
or called Blossom" was out on the
plains in 1861 with the Michigan cav
airy, be being a member Of the sixth
regiment.
The Pacific railroad had hardly
been thought of then, and around
Laramie the reds were thicker and
more feroeious than aeas around a
| pig sty"
Old Blossom" was sent or one
day with FIVE or six companions after
wood, and the party were attacked
by twenty indians.
The fight opened hotly, the BOYS
using the big six mule wagon for a
breastwOrk, and the Indians cireling
about il.
In the midst of the fight, when the
"Spencers" were talking every sec
ond, and arrows and bullets reply
ing, Blossom" was seen to sit down.
take out bis wallet, and begin to count
its contents.
He suddenly called oct to one Of
the men, saying:
Here, Sam, lend me ffty cents uu-
til we get back :"
Fifty thunders :" shouted Sam;
what in blazes do you want Of money
now"
81 want 10 make up four dollars"
replied "BlossOm;" II am going out
there and make them Injuns fair
financial offer to drop this fight and
go home, aud if they won't take it
we'll turn in and lick them out Of
their boots ~
What the boys said to him is lost
to history, but il resulted in the ed-
tor putting up his wallet, picking up
his gun, aud banging away until the
Indians drew OF.

BurBinE Iron.

The combustibility Of iron is a
chemical fact well known, but a Ber-
lin experimenter has demonstrated
the phenomenon in a manner pecu-
liarly bis own. He takes a straight
bar magnet Of some power, and
sprinkles iron filings on one Of its
poles. These filings arrange them
selves in accordance with the lines Of
magnetic force, and, however closely
they may appear to be packed, Of

menis are parallel. aud consequently
a certain portion Of air is enclosed, a.
in a metallic sponge The fame Of
