A GENUINE SURPRISE.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The Times saws
United States bonds have surprised
many people by advancing instead Of
falling, on the news that the silver
bill had passed in a manner that will
insure its becoming a law in much its
present shape.
We have always said the public
was not selling the stock to any ap-
preciable extent and the weakness
which has now and then characteriz-
ed bonds was due as much as any,
thing to passing fears of dealers and
to speculative selling, which only
made the market harder. Hence on
receipt of better New York prices
and because the worst was now
known the market naturally rose by
mere efforts of those who had sold to
buy back. Besides it has been notic-
ed that limitation has been put up.
on the quantity of silver that may be
coined within given time which is
itself tantamount to making il SUBJ
sidiary coinage. At all events for
some considerable time, so that there
is little alarm felt and holders stick
to their bonds. The only thing that
will lower the prices of these or any
other high class stocks just now is
dearer money,

intelligence from trustworthy sources
a Congress, not Conference, will
probably be held at Baden Baden,
which place Austria has proposed.
LONDON, Feb. l6.-The Times
leader to-day, is very pacific. 1t says
it will be due to some gratuitous mis-
management relative to the positions
of England and Russia near Constan-
tinople, ii it leads to any serious mis-
understanding. Our own govern
ment may be trusted to act with COM
bined moderation and firmness. If
the Russians are reasonably prudent
there is no reason why the Powers
should not enter peacefully into a
conference.
PERA, Feb. 16.-It is generally ex-
pected that Grand Duke Nicholas
will enter Constantinople with por-
ton of his army, but will come as the
guest and friend of the Nation with
the consent of the Sultan. The Rus
slams consider that this will give Eng
land no causu belli, especially as her
ships are near the Capitol against the
express wish of the Sultan and the
Porte. In the Russian camps
RENEWAL OF HosTILlT1Es
is discussed as more probable than
peace and every measure is being
adopted to consolidate the Russian
advance.
The entrance of the British feet into
the Dardanelles before the conclusion
of an armistice would have been an
swered, it is said unhesitatingly by
the Russian declaration of war, but
whether such would now be the case
is doubtful. War with England
would be very popular with the ar
my, though officers speak of it grave
ly as terrible struggle. In this state
of feeling, If we have to begin again,
say Russian officers, nothing could
save Constantinople from us and VIC
would not leave one stone upon an
other.

Charity for the Fallen.

Never say anything damaging to the
good name of woman, it matters not
how poor she may be or what her place
in society. They have hard enough
time at best, and God help the man who
would give them kick down the hill.
We are all too free with their names
we talk too much about them on our
street corner clubs and in public places
to be heard of men. We do very wrong.
The least little hint that there is some
thing wrong, that "she amt all right.n
whether spoken in jest or in earnest, is
taken up, and like the rolling stone
gathers moss as it goes from corner TO
corner, and at last comes home to the
prosecuted creature with crushing
weight. She has done nothing but keep
quiet while her idle prosecutors have
pursued her, and now she is kicked
from door to door and has fallen SO low
that none will do her reverence. Give
dog bad name and you had as well
kill him talk about good woman in
street corner clubs and across bar-room
counters, and you had as well set her
down at once as a social wreck.
