Things in Wall Street.

Good times returned to Wall street
long ago. Big barrels of money have
been made there lately by the fellows
who were lucky enough to be on the
right side. Talk about the Grant boom,
the Sherman boom, the Blaine boom or
any other boom The stock boom is
the only genuine article that has been
seen in Gotham. Jiminey Jones, how
some of EN- have gone up, to be sure.
If had only known in time how it
would be, and found a big-hearted
broker to carry few thousand shares
for me on an I. o. U. margin, might
be far enough ahead now to go off to
Europe, or Newport, or Coney Island,
or somewhere, and have all the fun that
a sensible fellow could wish for. But,
of course, that sort of luck wasn't in
my line. I remember making a grab
for it several years ago, and the blamed
thing lodged and left me sprawling
among the lame ducks. But some Of
the big guns have made millions.
Those who picked up stocks at the low
figures of three or four years ago, and
had pluck to hold on, don't care cent
whether the thermometer goes to 96 in
the shade or not. One Of my down
town friends, who managed to save
SIC, 900 out of the wreck of '73, put it
into stocks at the bottom prices and has
$40, 900 to his credit now. Vanderbilt,
Jay Gould, Rufus Hatch and some 9TH
ers who know all the ms and outs have
been sailing away so many barrels of
hard cash that they will soon need new
storehouses. The brokers are in fine
spirits again, and their credit at Del
monico's is greatly improved. They
haven't looked 30 happy since 1872,
when stock gambling was at the top
notch, so to speak, and every one felt
that the first duty of citizen was to
take flyer. The mania isn't quite SO
widespread now, but, like that yellow
horror of Memphis. its circle expands
little every day. Don't think want
to encourage any one to try his luck in
Wall street because l speak of things
down there in this strain. Far from it.
If any one asked my advice about taking
chance there l should say, MY friend.
if you have any money that you don't
want, give 1t to your sisters, your cous-
ms and your aunts, if you have any,
and make 'em all happy but don't risk
blamed cent in Wall street. Ii you
do it's gone sure There are lots of
good chances under the shadow of
Trinity Church, but, as a rule. they re
not for outsiders. from Nep York

The Faded Bouquet.

The sunset sky shole rarely grand,
And around lis Lung the calm of spring
She was the fsirest IN the land
Had piercing eyes. you understand,
And hair as black as ravens wing.
She gave me. when l babe her adiou
4 bouquet, tiny and ever 20 sweet.
A sprig OF green and floweis few
Flowers of rare and purple hue,
That bloomed around her feet.
/ said to myself, II viii lay i; away
With the rest OF my treasures rare,
Where, seeing II at some future day,
l shall think of the giver, so fair and gay
OF the girl with the raven hair
Days and months AMI chaugeful years
Since then have taken flight;
I've had many hopes, perplexing fears
Seen trials, cares and binding tears,
In sorrow's rayless night.
As all alone stood to-day,
Looking over my treasures rare,
found withered and faded bouquet,
And thought Of the giyer, fair and gay
OF the Sirl with the raven hair,
A scene of the past appeared again,
Ny soul grew dark with gloom;
For out on the LONELY plain,
The cold, melancholy rain,
Was falling on her tomb.

Nobody remembers that johnny
Green has q periodical habit of break
ing through the ice and getting nearly
drowned two or three times every win
ter, and that his father is powerless to
keep him away from the river, but a
teacher ought to mind what she's
about !
You hear some of the complaints,
perhaps, and, if it is your first school,
you feel badly and you cry some, and
you resolve to try to please everybody.
After that you never please any one, not
even yourself. You are partial to some
ones children, and partially is the
most crying of all sins in teacher. 1t
is quite equal to murder among out
sidels. We all pay for school, say
the indignant parents, and ones child
IS Just as good as another's, and entitled
to Just as much attention
! The topic on all occasions is the
school. What do the people not say
about you? You are partial; you are
cross; You are too slack; you haven
learning enough; you had no business
to ferule Betsey Baker You ought to
have half killed Jim Crane Why
didn't you trounce that Evans boy for
breaking the stove by putting snow
ball on it? You are stuck up You
paint Your nose is horrid How
you do primp up and stick on the gew-
gaws They say that dreadful Charley
Jones is partial to you, and he as good
as engaged to another girl
And you may consider yourself for
tunate if at the end of your school
there is enough of your character left
to get out of town with, and all this
time you have been trying yonr best to
please everybody.
If you are sensitive you will give up
teaching; if you are not you will go on
and in year or two will be iron-ciad,
and you will keep school to please your
self, and then you are sure of pleasing
one person in the worldly. Y. Weekly.

SARATOGA EATING.-Some one writes
from this old watering place. giving
the following information for those
who love good beef: Mr.. Janvrin, the
experienced steward of the States. tells
me that they now buy their beef ten
derloin in Chicago. These tenderloins.
for which we pay about fifty cents per
pound in New York, come through
from Chicago packed in ice, costing
about twenty cents per pound. Tender
ioin, spring chicken. Spanish mackerel,
and soft shelled crabs are every day
dishes al Saratoga. The corn bread is a
marvelously sweet morsel for the
palate of an epicure. I know several
guests ct the States who make a whole
breakfast Of coffee and corn-bread
rolls.

We all love pleasure and abhor sor

their good parts, and those who really
long for peace and happiness will try to
find out and extract them, instead OF
hurrying along essentially or with
forced gaiety.

m,RACULoUsLY CURED.

If the following from New Haven,
Connecticut, is true, it is no longer
necessary for invalids to go to Lourdes,
France, to be miracuiously cured of
their inirmities. The story goes, and
is said to be true, that a Mrs. Wheeler,
of New Haven, who had been bed
ridden for sixteen years, made up her
mind that if she had sufficient faith a
miracle would be wrought in her be-
half. cater praying five minutes, -"
she says, 81 felt a sensation at my
heart. / can remember nothing dis
tinctly, except that I was full of the
love of God, while my voice in an I'M
natural tone was heard to exclaim:
'Hallelujah! Jesus is healing me- My
husband found me as white as corpse,
and completely Frustrated, and when
| awoke to consciousness my whole
family stood around me terribly fright
ened. All the rest of the day was

nothing left of her disease except a
lameness in her back, and that went
away in answer to further prayer.

A meeting of the old soldiers was
called at Terre Haute Indiana yester-
day, to consider the utterance OF Mr..
Voorhees, lately in the United States
Senate that he was as good friend to
the soldiers as the late Senator Morton.
A good deal of bitter partisan feeling
was exhibited in the meeting. A
Committee on Resolutions was finally
adopted, consisting of two Republicans,
two Democrats and two Nationals.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the Committee.
The New York Herald has SEN
sational article on the intention OF the
labor reformers and Socialists through
out the country. Referring to the con-
, templated parade of the labor organi-
cations ON Independence Day the Her
aid says: 1t appears that the recent
failure to organize meetings on the
Denis Kearney plan in Union Square
has rather discouraged the labor
agitators of New York, and that they
will concentrate their efforts in Brook
Ign, where a monster parade and mass
meeting is to be held in favor of the
eight-bour system. George Winkers
and S. E. Spevitsch, the Nihilists, are
to be among the speakers in Brooklyn.
In Boston Leandre Thompson will
harangue the Socialists. In Cincinnati
c. III. Meyor, a member of the Illinois
Legislature; in Chicago, State Senator
Sylvester Arkey, and in st. Louis, P.
j. Mcclure, of New Haven. 1t has
all along been considered by the Social
lists that they were moving in the dark,
and that the suddenness of the demon
stration would appall their enemies and
strike dismay into the capitalists camp.

The Municipal Convention of the
Workingmen's Party of California,
which met in San Francisco week, age
pledged its nominees for city offices to
accept less than the legal salary in the
event of their election. Since then a
member of the party, who is of an in
curing turn of mind, has ascertained
that the nominees of the Municipal con-
vention are, each and all, ineligible to
hold the offices to which they aspire by
reason of the pledge they had been re-
auired to take. He argues that in the
event of their election they would be
prevented from taking and holding the
offices, as their pledge to refund a por-
ton OF their salaries to the city, is held
to be in the nature of bride. This
opinion is founded on decisions of the
Supreme Courts of Illinois, WISCONSIN,
Missouri and Vermont, which are to
the effect that, when candidates had
agreed to accept office for less than the
the legal salary, their election is void.
This will compel the w. ?. Us to hold
another Convention and release candi-
dates from this pledge or nominate
others. In the language of Toot's sit is
Of no consequence" whether they do
or not, as it is not probable that the
kearney- Kalloch ticket will be elected

Pittsburg is one of the blacklist of
cities by reason of the smoke from its
manufactures; but plan is being tested
that promises to make it clean. The
proposition is to wash the smoke, and
the way Of doing it is thus described:
"The washing is done by passing the
smoke through the spray caused by
paddle wheels revolving in a tank of
water holding soda ash in solution.
The tank and wheels are placed in the
fue, between the furnace and the chin
ney, and, the wheels being made to re-
volve in the direction of the chimney,
the draught is increased" The smoke
after being thus treated will not soil a
white handkerchief.

ssDeY Hurries Me SOP

We once read the testimony of man
over 80 years as to the probable secret
of his long life. He attributed his
length of years to the fact that he never
overworked himself; that is, he nevor
heated his system and crowded his
heart by "hurrying "-no running
when late for cars or boat, no scram
bling and tearing to get hay out of the
way of thunder-shower, etc., etc. It
is grave question whether the pupils
in our "best" American schools are
not overworked. The negro boy here
quoted perhaps chose unfortunately,
but he will not die of over study, as a
young Lady in New England female
seminary did the other day. A Phila-
delphia correspondent says:
In this age Of activity and haste to
reach results, I desire to cite an in
stance to prove that there remain some
easy-going specimens of humanity who
have no wish to take part in the gen.
eral rush.
A friend of mine, residing in Phila-
delphia, who had occasion last year to
visit South Carolina, was detained .
few days in one of the larger towns.
and took a morning walk which led him
near school where large number of
colored children we're taught.
Seeing colored boy of some 12years
OF age Longing istlessly about the
place, he accosted him thus:
"Boy, do you go to this school?"
"No; don't go to any school,"
"Why don't you go to SCHOOL,"
"Don't want to CO."
Why don't you want to go?"
