WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECT

The Probable Influence in This Country
of General War In Europe.
In regard to the prospects of gene, al
war in Europe and its influence on the
markets and commerce in this country,
the New York Daily Bulletin, leading
financial paper, says:
AS to the financial bearings of the
war, the way in which the news was
taken yester lay by Wall street shows
that something has been learned by past
experiences. 1t has been found that the
outbreak of a war in Europe disturbs our
exchanges only momentarily, and that
one of its sure effects is to create q
preference for American investments as
the least subject to sympathy with the
huctuating political influences. The
the issue of the European governments,
under the danger that exists of the war
assuming European dimensions, is cal
culated to induce very important de-
mand for United States bonds and for
the best OF our corporate mortgages, and
it would not be surprising to see this
effect soon appearing. In short, Ameri-
can credit in all its forms viii! stand at
an advantage at London as compared
with that OF other countries, and fair
movement in whatever depends upon
our credit may be expected to result.
Financial interests are likely to be also
quickened by a certain amount Of specu-
htive business produced through fuctu-
ations in values and greater activity in
certain interests. Railroads will be
benefited by a freer movement in our
exportable products, and the shipping
trade will derive an advantage from the
incre ased shipments of the bulkier CON-
modities. Upon the whole, therefore,
we may anticipate all appearances of a
more active movement in general trade,
and a more buoyant tone in some i'm
portant markets, but nevertheless it
would be a great mistake to suppose
that we can be enriched in the long
run from what impoverishes the rest of
the world with which we have CONNER
cial intercourse.

Romance and Reality.

A certain gentleman who lives OF
East Oyange street returned home the
other evening with copy of the Regis
ter, and in it discovered the following
item:
"Somehow magnificent girl always
marries an insignificant whiffet of man
and very handsome fellow gets hold ol
an ugly woman."
"There's good deal in that" said
"1 shouldn't wonder if there was, y
says Mrs. A.
"Now, for instance" said A,
"you used to call me handsome"

the Judge, teasingly.

Maud sprang up and cast herself into
his open arms with glad cry.

Music in the Harem.

Felicien David, recently deceased,
spent five years in the East. While he
was at Cairo Mahomet Ali engaged him
to teach the piano to the women of his
harem. Felicien David gladly accepted,
for he was extremely poor, and besides
his imagination was infamed by the
thought of seeing the beauties of the
East. He went to the harem. The chief
of eunuchs received him. The chief was
attended by four other eunuchs, as splen-
did specimens of Nubian negroes as
could be seen. The chief of eunuchs
said to Felicien David, speaking in his
shrillest treble voice: 4" Would you be
good enough to begin the lesson at
once 2" Felicien David answered: q" Will
ingly. Where are the ladies 2" The
chief of eunuchs became furious.
What, dog of a giaour, do you expect
to be introduced into the presence of the
wives of His Highnessl You must
give the music lessons to u.s." "To
you 2" Yes, to ms. Teach US az you
would have taught the ladies and we will
repeat the lesson to them." 1t was i'll
vain Felicien David told the chief of
eunuchs that he could not teach music
in that way, and as the chief of the eu-
nuchs would not consent to any other
method Felicien David was shown the
door.--Earis Letter.

Chadwell, one of the men killed while
attempting to rob the Northfeld Bank,
is undoubtedly the same man who worked
in the tin and lead mines near this place
two years ago. He was regarded here
as a desperate character. To illustrate
his reoklessness and daring, it is related
that on one occasion he, in company
with another miner, got on a spree, and
while standing around fire Chadwell's 8
partner picked up full keg OF blasting
powder and deliberately threw it on the
blazing fire. Chadwell very coolly
slapped him over, and then sxatched the
keg OF powder from the flames and
threw it in the ditch. This circumstance
is well known to many of our citizens.

groans proceed from the rear of q house.
He stepped back to see if he could be OF

with most singular spectacle. A very

From the Bowels OF the Earth.

There is an artesian well in Cambria
county, Pa, which was bored some ten
or twelve years ago by parties seeking
oil. At the depth Of 260 feet stream
of water and gas was struck, which has
been boiling out ever since in considera-
BILE quantities. The water is very cold
and cleansing, and assumes the appear
anee of milk when stirred up in the tub
in which it boils. BY inverting box
over it, with hole bored at the top, the
gas passes out and can be lighted, burn
ing two colors, yellow and blue. arr &

A Coin Imbedded In a Rock.

People have heard aud read of toads
having been found imbedded in rock,
but now comes another curiosity to be
added to the list. Mr.. John Adriance,
of this city, has a Mexican coin dated
ITO, which was taken from the center of
piece of rock found in the bottom of
the Rio Grande. The gentleman who
sent tie coin to this city, with the par
ticulars in connection with its discovery,
lives at Laredo, ond, not having speci-
men of the rock in which the coin was
found imbedded, has been asked by gen.
tlemen connected with the Historical
Society, who are Interested in the mat
ter, to do so, in order that theories as to
the time the coin found its way 10 the
bed of the river may be deduced. The
finder of the coin writes that the rock is
very hard and almost transparent. -

AN INTERESTING QUESTION is now be-
ing discussed by the Commercial and Re.
publican as to where the ste thousand dol
lars which ex-U. S. Collector Nolen de.
faulted fer went. The Commercial init.
mated that ex-Judge Fisher had the dis.
posal of this large sum of money and
the inference is that it was spent in the
election to secure votes for Lof1and,
Jump and the ticket. In reply to this
frank Nolen says, in a communication to
the Republican:
II am authorized by my father to state
that Judge Fisher did not receive one
cent of the money either directly or in
directly; that he did not write my let
ters either directing or advising the
withholding Of the money or any portion
OF it. and that father has not now, nor
never did have any such letters"
Frank further says that a part of the
money was paid to the Commercial. That
paper says this denial "is explicit for the
first time. And we have franks word
for it, too, Franks word being just ''as
good as his bond" the value of which
many people know. Well, what became

the Collector place it? Congressman Lof-
land says he advised it should not be

effect that the Germans in Michigan
