Gold in New YORK closed at I1I5;
same time last year, ll3.

THE FINANCIAL MARK EFT during the
past week had nothing TO distinguish it
from the weeks preceding, except that
exchange was in larger supply, owing
to larger sales of cotton. The rate, how
ever, is unchanged; buying on New
York at par, and selling at premium;
buying on New Orleans at ! discount,
and selling at par. Where three days
grace are exacted, / deduction is maze.
More is plenty, and borrowers, with
the ght quality of paper, are excited
ingly welcome. The money report OF
the New York Herald, Of Friday, said:
"Money closed easy at two per cent. OIL
call. The following were the rates Of
exchange on New YORK at the under
mentioned cities to-day: Savannah,

The Story Of Another
New York Telegram

Craker as. Northwestern Rail-
road Company. In 3G Wis,
657, it is held that it is unlaw-
full for a railroad corporation to
kiss a female passenger against
against her VIII. The plaintiff
was a school teacher about twen-
| ty years of age. Being the on
Ily passenger in the car, the con-
ductOr naturally supposed that
she would be lonely, and sat
down by her side and engaged
her in conversation. The rest
| of the affair she thus narrates:
81 suppose you are married,
| like all the rest Of the school
marms?" he said.
"No, l am not" I said.
Then he sat up nearer to me.
and put his hand in my muf'
and said:
"There is room for two hands
in this mutf, amt there?"
"NO, sir, there is not for
