BULLS AND BEARS.
A High old Time in the New York Stock
Exchange.
rNow York Cor. Chicago Tribune. ]


New York Cor. Chicago Tribuno.l
There was an indescribable scene on
Change on Monday, Dec. "a. The Gov
erning Committee refused the applica-
ton of "the boys" TO inclade Monday
in the holiday season. This aroused the
latter, and they resolved to do business
in their own way, if they must do 1t per
force. So the brokers, as they arrived
down town in the morning, gathered at
the Office of Drake Brothers, III New
street, whore each was fitted out with a
tin-horn. hrce dinp6r-bell, large
whistle, wooden racket, or some equal
" discordant instrument Half dozen
rubber footballs, and an extensive as
sortment of false-faces, and small paper
bags of -four had also been provided.
Thus armed the brokers filed solemnly
into the Exchange. TIE gallery of which
hid previously been filed with specta-
tors, both ladies and gentlemen, III an
ticipation OF the tun. a large number
of ladies had also been admitted TO the
floor, for the first time in the history OF
the Exchange. As soon as the gong
sounded for the beginning of business,
the horns. and bells, and whistles, and
rackets were produced, and n combined
noise made that nearly lifted the ROOF.
The footballs then appeared, and the
crashing of the glass globes OF the chan
deliers was aided ID the din. The
Chairman raped III vain for order. The
sound of his Cavel was silenced III the
renewed efforts OF the horn-blowors and
bell-ringers, and ball propelled by n
vigorous kick struck him squarely in the
breast and Knocked him back in his
chair. Finally, after filming about fifty
persons So cRcb, he gave up the contest
and ordered the remaining globes re-
moved for safety. The four-bags then
began to fly about Many OF the brokers
We're whitened from head TO foot, while
the clothing Of others displayed great
patches Of white, like suns with rays
spreadingin every direction. Some Of
the boys 'ound an old partition in q
lumber-rom, and, catching it by the
ends, they swept around the floor like q
perform circus feats, and knocking the
LEGS ont from under the aged and more
obese members. Meantime the game OF
foot ball was kept up, the evident object
OF the kickers being to caro1n on some
body else. Some of the ladies hats
were roughly visited. Each good strike
was greeted with a yell of delight, q
fresh blast on the fish horns, and re-
newed clGngor. Soon the number Of
footballs became too limited for the
eagerness OF the brokers, and they used
each others hats instead. AS the hours
advanced the fun became furious.
Lassos made their appearance, and
many unfortunates were roughly treated.
At ] o'clock the Exchange adjourned,
and the members, all looking more or
less the worse for wear, went to the
neighboring saloons and barber-shops to
brush up and recuperate. The Gov
errors had to own up beaten.

Regular Secretion Essential to Health.

The regular secretion and flow of the gastric
juices, and of the bile which the use of Bostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are effects
which conduce materially to the restoration Of
health, when the system is disordered. Food is
not di8ested in the dyspeptio stomach because
tho gastric fluid is deficient, superintendent or
yitiated the liver becomes congested and the
bowels constipated because the supply Of bile
is Inadequate or misdirectcd. The Bitters rec
TIDES all this, and removes every ill-cOnsoquence
of u|1-assimilation and bilious nregularity.
Furthermore, il stimulates the action Of the
kidneys, by which impurities are, SO to speak,
strained from the blood, and any tendency in
the urinary organs TO grow sluggish and disor-
dcrcd counteracted. Whether it be used as
means Of regulating gastric or bilious secretion,
and relieving the overloaded bowels, or TO pro-
mote complete, and therefore healtbful, urina-
ton, Hostetter's Ditters may be relied upon
with confidence to accomplish the end in view.

An AnecdOte of Daniel Webster.

Webster was out, one day, on the
marshes near Marshfeld, busily shoot
ing birds. 1t was hot afternoon in Ar-
gust. The farmers were getting their
salt hay on the marshes.
He came, in the course OF his rambles,
to the Green Harbor river, which he
wished to cross. He beckoned TO one Of
the men on the opposite bank to take
him over in his boat, which lay moored
in sight. The man at once left his work,
came over, and padded Mr.. Webster
across the stream. He declined the pay
ment offered him, but fingered a mo-
ment, with Yankee curiosity, to question
the stranger. He surmised who Mr.
Webster was, ami, with some hesitation,
remarked:
"This is Daniel Webster, 1 believe. ="
THAT IS my name," replied the
sportsman.
"Wen, now," said the farmer. CT am
told that you can make from So to s. q
day pleadin' cases up in Boston"
Mr.. Webster replied that he was
sometimes SO fortunate as to receive that
amount Tor his services.

Wanted a Little Excitement.

a man with more ears than brains
heard his neighbors in Atlanta, Ga, de-
scribe an internal machine, and forth
with took the hint and constructed one.
One night last week he carried his toy
to the front steps OF merchants resi-
dence, and, after setting it down, rang
the bell. When the portly form of the
merchant appeared in the doorway the
visitor pointed TO the box and told him
that plot had been formed to blow up
his house. The cigar-box was dropped
into pail of water and then opened. 1t
had lining of white pine, and was di-
vided into three compartments, each OF
which was packed with gunpowder and
shot; and in the central one were three
matches, placed so as to come IN contact
with sand-paper when the lid was raised
The merchant suspected at once that tine
inventor OF the machine stood before
him, although his visitor pretended to
have overheard in an alley the details of
the plot. The police arrested the half
witted fellow, and forced him to admit
that he had made the box. Times We're
rather dull, he SAID, and he had thought
that little excitement might help bust
ness.

The St. Cloud Journal Press in noting
the comment of the GLOBE relative to reliev-
ing the country Of the fraudulent President,
says:
1fPresident Hayes has done anything for
which he can be impeached, let the House pre-
court on the charges. The difference is that in
ceeded according to constitutional methods,
schemes law unto themselves.
AS the JournalIross is edited by land
officer, it would be folly to look for anything
really fair. So far from being revolutionary,
the Democrats have exercised the
utmost patriotism. Though the
electoral commission expressly pro-
vides for reopening the Presidential contest,
the Democrats periodically decline to do SO,
and though smarting under the greatest
wrong ever perpetrated on country OF
party they propose nothing violent or uncon-
stitutional. Mr.. Hayes is no greater or bet
ter man than Washington, or the line of dis
tinguished occupants of the Presidency
which have followed him. All these have
been liable to impeachment, and there is no
reason to exclude the fraudulent President
from the operation of the law of the land.
It is the fear that the law will be enforced
which makes Republicans howl.

OF Ho,c John Sherman Pays Has Debts OF
Honor.
Washington June 17,) Special to Chicago
Times.
There is another pleasant revelation about
the trading Louisiana commission who ran an
extraordinary bill of 5000 day each in the
pursuance of unlawful task. 1t appears
that Parker, cashier of the First National
bank, has been repaid for the money that he
advanced upon Sherman's request. The man
ner Of repayment is full as interesting as the
original scheme of illegal and scandalous bor-
rowing. This loan was subject of some anx-
iety to John Sherman last winter He believed
that there would be some trouble in getting
Congress to pay the expenses of this party
and at one time 1t was proposed that collec-
ton should be taken among the cabinet people
to make up the sum. Hayes, as niggardly as
he is about spending money, was persuaded to
stand in for share. Just about this time
Louisiana friend of the administration learned
of this annoyance and resolved to re-
move it and thereby obtain credit for him
SELF Chas. T. Howard, of Morris d
Howard, the proprietors of the Louisiana lot
terry, in this city at the time. He is the
John Morrisey Of Louisiana politics, was very
intimate with the Hayes commission, and
thereby secured great influence with the Mich
oils government. The Louisiana friend who
has learned of John Sherman's loan, went to
Howard and said to him: now, here is a
chance for you" You advance this money to
pay Parker. Put it upon nigh grounds. Say
that you are a Louisiana business man and are
willing to come forward and pay the expenses
Of this commission that has done SO much for
restoring peace and order to that State. Do
this, and if Congress ever appropriates any
money to pay the bill, well and good. If not,
it will be all the same Howard caught at
this chance to make ncIiticaI "a initial and his
offer was greedily snapped up. The man who
had no delicacy in going to the syndicate for
loan had no scruples against it being made
good by lottery company.

to it. Thurman and Beck, Democrats,
damned the whole business by making weak
apologies for the President and Sherman.
The affair finally eliminated in the rejection
Of the appropriation by very decisive vote.
So the Louisiana lottery dealer who advanced
the money to Sherman, is out of pocket just
$4,000, or will be unless the secretary of the
treasury pays the money out of his own
pocket. This he is not likely to do, as the
lottery is fully reimbursed by the protection
itreceives from the parties concerned in the
bargain.
These little unpleasantn in the Re-
publican family are not pleasant. They
must grieve the soul of the amiable, smiling
monumental fraud who occupies the White
House." And they are not becoming. All
bitterness should be buried in oblivion and
the dove, the emblem of peace, should be
wooed to make its resting place once more
beneath the Republican banner, SO that all
beholders might exclaim: ''Behold how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together
in unity p Come, gentlemen, bury the
Ratchet: smoke the calumet of peace; or, if
you don't smoke, take a drop of something
that's good for bile.

The amount, 160, 1O3 barrels, put down as
made and sold by George Ehret, was SO extra
ordinary as to challenge special inquiry, and
Mr.. Ehret confirmed it.
There are folr kegs to each barrel, or S. ILL.,
1876, nearly six million kegs of larger for one
years consumption.
As the discussion waxed warm, Mr.. Bal, of
the Tall Tower. neared the scene, and was at
once set upon and pressed into the entertain
ment as consumer. He ordered beer for the
company, and while he was in the final agony
of drawing monumental schooner, he was
asked:
Mr.. Bal, if it's fair question, how much
lager beer did your concern use last year?''
We paid $150,000 for beer last year" he re-
piled.
As the price of a barrel of beer is SO, it fol-
lows that the Tall Tower patrons must have
emptied between Is, 900 and 10000 barrels, say
80, 600 kegs of beer.
How many glasses of beer are there in a
keg?r
well, that depends on the drawer. Some
men can get 100 glasses from barrel, but they
average lis. If men drink quick the beer and
foam together fill glass. If they sit and
drink at tables it is different
So if a key averages 1l5 glasses, and there
were nearly 6, 100000 kegs used last year, it
follows that there were drank 90,O0O, 600
glasses of beer between May and May.

II BADLY USED PATR.

The closing days of the session of Con-
gress have been the saddest of the year to
Fraud Hayes and Pirate Sherman. Kind
ness and consideration they had no right to
expect from their adversaries, but from them
their only consolation came. It was some
Office for a time, even if the assurance was
accompanied by broad reminder that they
had no business there. They are not par
ticular, however, as to the means by which
they hold Office, OF to whose forbearance
they owe it, provided they can profit by the
emoluments and benefit by the honors of
place.
These functionaries, while they owe
debt of gratitude to the Democrats, have
good reason to complain of the treatment of
political friends, for by them they have been
grievously wounded. 1t was not enough
that grave doubts of their personal honesty
and political integrity had been openly ex-
pressed by Republicans in the Senate. This
indignity has been rubbed in, and that in
manner to make them vince. The debate
in the Senate on Monday evening on the
proposition to reimburse Sherman for the
expenses of the Louisiana peace commission
developed the fact that the course of Hayes
is far from meeting the approval of some
of the most prominent men in his party.
Senator Spencer opened the disturbance BY
asking by what right the item, wholly unau-
thorized by law, was inserted in a
general appropriation bill, and had an
itemized bill of the expense of
the committee read that showed the as
sembled Senators upon what meat these our
peace commissioners feed when on their
high and holy missions. Then Conkling
"raised a point of order'' by remarking that
the commission aforesaid was fraud; that
it had gone to Louisiana with instruc-
tons to unseat Packard, whether he was le-
gally elected or not, and characterized it in
unmeasured TERMS Blaine and Kellogg fol-
lowed with sharp criticisms and fearless de-
nunciations of the conduct of the President
in thwarting the will of the people, the Sena-
tor from Maine boldly asserting that if Pack
ard was not legally elected governor Of
Louisiana, Hayes was not legally elected
President of the United States All this
time Howe, the elongated senior Senator
from Wisconsin, was industriously pouring
oil on the troubled waters and setting fire

Attorney General Wilson's Opinion on the
Text Book Law.
STATE OF MINNESOTA,
ATTORNEY GENERAL s OFFICE.
ST.. PAUL, June IA. 1878.
Frederick A. Fogg County Superintendent of
Schools, Ramsey County, Minnesota:
SIR: I am in receipt Of your favor of the
9Th inst. submitting the following questions
respecting the act to provide uniform and cheap
text books:
First, With respect to the ordering of the
State books by clerks of common and indie
pendent districts, does the law leave it to the
option of said clerks, or does it enjoin it upon
them as duty!
Second. IL said clerks fail to order books
by March 18th, it is their duty to order as soon
thereafter as possible?
Third. Is it the duty of said clerks, in
making acquisitions for books to order guam
tity sufficient to supply the pupils of their dis
tricts for the full school year?"
That portion of section 4 of the act approved
February 23d, 1877, hereinafter quoted, tseems
to me, contains definite answer to your first
and third questions.
"Section 4. It shall be the duty of each dis
trct clerk Of the several school districts of the
State of Minnesota to make out estimate of
che number of school books required for one
gears supply Of his school district, designating
the number of books of each kind wanted and
forward the same on or before the 18th day Of
March of each year. It shall be a
misdemeanor for the clerk to refuse or neglect
to perform the duties above designated pun
ishable by a. fine not to exceed twenty-five
dollars or imprisonment not to exceed thirty
days."
The proviso to section six of the supplement
tary act, approved March 9Th. 1878, answers in
the affirmative your second inquiry. Very re-
spectfully yours, GEO. P. WnsoN,
ATTORNEY General.
