Pantomime in the stock Exchange.

The question ofhow to get tho great.
est possible volume of noise out OF 800
voices was solved yesterday in the
Stock Exchange, the occasion being the
installation of the newly elected officers.
Tho etiquette of the Exchange re-
quires chat some of the incoming officers
make speeches, but as there is lack Of
etiquette as to their reception, disorder
usually prevails. Yesterday was no
exception. The new officers took their
places on the rostrum, and were greeted
b. roar of cheers. Eight hundred jol.
ly brokers, hot and perspiriug from the
labors of the first call, werc wide awake
for fun. Cheers for every body and ev.
erythIng, and groans Of actual pain
evoked by the crushing of corns or q
sudden blow from sharp elbow, were
among tho sounds that made up this
Babel Of confusion, and with them
pushing and jolting and knocking off of
hats. Knowing old hands did not wear
high hats to the Board:y yesterday. Those
who did left orders with their hatters
last night.
Mr.. Brayton Ives, the new President,
was introduced by his predecessor, Mr..
Henry Meigs. Mr.. Meigs was heard to
say, "my friends" but beyond these two
words nothing could be distinguished i.
The retiring Presidents digniiisd gcs-
lures, and the rapid movement OF his
lips could be seen, however. Mr.. Meigs
sat down, and Mr.. Brayton Ives. the
new President, began TO talk. About
one word in four OF his address was
heard, and be Was understood 70 say
that he did not propose to review the
past nor announce policy for the fa-
turc. Neither did he want to talk shout
political economy. Then there was
storm Of applause, then the words "hon
or" Earnest" and "regsrd" were heard
by the three gentlemen who stood near
est to him. From this slight foundation
one of the gentlemen educed this SEN
tence for the benefit Of the reporter.

THE COUNTRY STORE.

:: And you find it, the variety

yokes cnd finger rings, liquorice'

for cash or "dicker.'' In the cor
ner gyonder stands the spindle

Of barrels, and a bastion Of cod

spread upon the lid, "a goose quill
pen, "a sand box and a pewter ink
stand within reach. =. = .'...,, -.
Here is the wooden bench be-
side the stove, covered with jack
knife sculpture, awkward H'slike
| a pair Of leaning, bar posts with
one bar, and B's like OK yokes.
| It is here that in rainy days and
winter nights the whittlers, smo-
kers,. spitters and takers gather
in, and lay their blue and white

for color. Here clouds ofsmoke from

INTERRUPTED TABLE
TALK. ...

The other evening the Rev. Mr..
Philacter sat down at the tea
table with a very thoughtful air,
and attended to the wants of his
brood in a very absLracted man
ner. Presently he looked up at
his wife and said: .:..: F., ..

"Got an awful lump on the head
safternoon," broke in the pastors
eldest son, "playing base ball.
Bat few out of the strikers hands
when I was umpire, and cracked .
me right over the ear, an dropped
me. Hurt? Golly!" and the lad
shook his head in dismal but ex-s
pressive pantomine as he tenderly
rubbed a lump that looked like a;
billiard ball with hair on it. The
pastor gravely paused for the in
terruption and resumed:
"Tbe Apostle Paul"-
"Saw Mrs. O'Gheminie down at
Greenbaum's this afternoon" said
the eldest daughter, addressing her
mother. "She had the same old
everlasting black silk, madetover
with a vest Of tilIeul green silk,
coat tail basque pattern, over
skirt made with diagonal folds in
front, edged with, deep fringe;
yellow straw bat, with black vel.
vet facing inside the brim, and
pale blue flowers. She is going to
Chicago" ......s.a
The good minister waited pa
tientlv, and then, in. tones just a
shade louder than before, said:
"The Apostle Paul''- 49,.
"Went in swimmin' last night
with. Henry and Ben, pop, and
stepped on a clam SHE'LL" exclaim-
ed his youngest son; ''cut my foot
so l can't wear my shoes; and
please, can't I stay at home to-
morrow ?''s.;~ 80; -. ~
The pastor Informed his son
that be might stay from the river,
and then resu med his topic. he
said: ...... ....ii-.,-sf2
"The Apostle Paul says
~"My teacher is an awful liar"
shouted the second son *he says
the. world is as round as an orange,
and it turns round faster than a
circus man can ride. I guess he
haint got much sense - I.'"z...
The mother lifted a warning
finger toward the boy and said:
"Sh,l" and the father resumed
r"The Apostle Paul says!
issDon't bite off twice as much
as you can chew" broke, out the
eldest SOD, reproVlng the assault
of his little brother on a piece Of
cake. The pastors face showed
Just a trife Of annoyance as he
said in very firm, decided tones:
"Tbe Apostle Paul says
"There's a fly in the butter"
shrieked the youngest hopeful Of
the family, and general laugh
followed. When silence was re-
stored the eldest daughter, with
an air Of curiosity, said - >.e5s
"Wel), but pa, l really would
like to know what tho Apostle
Paul said" s~:.-
"Pass me the mustard, =" said
the pastor, absently.
Then the committee rose and
the senate went into executive
session and soon after adjourned.
