HE SAVED HIS LIFE.

One Of our young friends has lately dis
tinguished himself as O philanthropist. He
has not Invented iife-saving apparatus but
put into practical operation process OF pre-
serving existence, which, although novel and
bearing somewhat of the simitiG smtLtbns
characteristics of curing ills, will hardly be
adopted universally, however effective it may
have proved in the instance which we will at
tempt to relate. Our young friend is chuck
full of good qualities. He never drinks; he
smokes moderately, and buys his own cigar
cites; he is amiable and he is brave, and ever
ready to stand by friend In case OF danger.
The last quality is what gave him the oppor
tunity of acquiring the title OF ph1lanthropist,
which we give him. He had gone with q
chum to see fair play between the latter and
d colossus, for there was to be serious en-
counter, and the probabilities were that the
burly antagonist of his friend would be heayi-
ly backed. In brief, such was the case, and
the row began i'm earnest. the burly chap get
ting the worst Of the fight at the outset. But
the tables were suddenly turned.
The phianthropst's friend was deprived OF
a stout hickory stick, (which he had welded
with effect, and thrown into ditch-the CO.
lossus being on top. The under man finding
himself at serious disadvantage, was In the
act Of slowly drawing huge bowie knife from
his belt. saw the motion lit Is the philanthro-
pist who speaks now and l knew that in q
few seconds more my chum would have killed
his antagonist So as quick as lightning |

on the ground and raped the other fellow

Why, yes. 1.-The had staid on top my friend

PUaL DOWN THE BLINDS.

Conceal yourself as you may to do good or
TO do evil, surround your actions with all the
prudence or preoaution that human nature
can command, II is ter to one that you have
failed In your attempt to blind the world.
Somewhere and somehow there will almost
certainly be peering eye or listening ear to
rob you Of your secret We say purposely
ito do good or to do evil" for our subject Is
marriage, about which st. Paul himself has
expressed himself rather equivocally- and a
secret marriage, at that, which is apt to JUS
tify the alternative in the eyes, at least, OF
deluded parents,
About two weeks ago there could be seen
at the matinee performance at one OF our
theatres o handsome couple-a young, man
who had scarcely attained the age OF ma
jority, and maiden not yet out OF her
teens-looking unconcernedly at the play.
The performance being over they separated,
to go in opposite directions And yet, about
an hour before noon of THAT same day the
same couple had been quietly united In the
holy bonds Of matrimony in an uptown reli-
gious temple and, as they and their solitary
witness thought, unbeknown to the whole
world Just as they wished, for 1t was run
away match.
They were, however mistaken for as the
ceremony was being performed In the church
the window of an adjoining building tiew open
and there was an additional witness to the
marriage, who was relating the circumstance
at the theatre whilst the couple were enjoying
the performance.
The affair has since been communicated to
their parents by the bridegroom and bride
themselves and q reconciliation effected. SO
that there Ii no harm in telling the whole
story now. Next time, however, pull down
the blinds.

THE TwEsTY-FOUR HOUg WALK.
Tobias Makes Ninety Miles mt st. Patrick's
Hall and Wins $500.

At two minutes past O'Clock last evening
the walking match between Tobias and Tur-
ner at st. Patrick's Hall came to an end, the
twenty-four hours having elapsed. Tobias
came out the winner, having covered 80 miles
and 1871 laps, or nearly another miie Tur-
ner, after accomplishing 81 miles and laps,
threw up the sponge and retired. His foot,
from the long tramp, was split on the sole
and the pain was too great for him to go on.
Tobias, during the day, was attacked with
cramps and vomiting, and was compelled TO
leave the track for twenty minutes or more.
The pain passed off, however, but he did not
walk afterward with his usual stride. Last
evening the $500 was paid over by the stake
holder to the winner.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Mark Lane ErpresS
says: Little plowing or spring sowing has been
done up to the present time. Dry weather is
required to bring the land in working order.
The deliveries of homegrown grain at country
markets has been considerable, but the condi-
tion of English wheat is unsatisfactory. There
were only limited supplies Of dry, milling
corn, which maintained low rates. Inactivity
in nearly every branch of trade continues. The
imports have been light, but the scarcity of
money, an entire want Of speculation and dis
trust occasioned by numerous failures have re-
duced the British trade tosa dead level.
Russian wheat has arrived by way of Revel.
bound. The first shipments from San Fran
cisco have also arrived. The American visible
supply continues unprecedently large. The
quantities in view at the principal grain CEN
ters on the 1st of February was 20,375, 900
bushels. In the face of such large supplies
business has dragged during the week. Buyers
held sloof, in the hope of obtaining greater
concessions. Prices are weak and unchanged.
The check to supplies caused by the closing of
the sound has caused oats to rally from six
pence to a shilling per quarter. Maize to arrive
has eased slightly on the spot. Corn is not
purchasable on lower terms. All other cereals
moved off slowly at nominally late rates.
With small arrivals at ports Of call during the
week, the floating trade for wheat was firm,
with occasional advances OF threepence to six
pence per quarter. Sales of English wheat
