STATE BoNDS-Dull.
SToCKs-There was a marked change
in the temper OF the speculation on the
Stock Exchange to-day, an active buy
ing movement having prevailed under
which sharp advance in prices took
place. The market opened strong and
tai per cent higher, but the improve
ment was soon lost. After the first
board, however, firmer feeling set in
and under brisk purchases there was an
advance OF TO 3 per cent, the latter
st. Louis and san Francisco
first preferred. 4 reaction oi
to II per cent took place
after the second call, but towards the
close buying was renewed, and the high
est prices of the day were made at the
close. The advance for the day was t(9
81 per cent, the st. Louis and San
Francisco shares, Lake Shore, Erie, Ia
cific Mail, the coal stocks, Louisville and
Nashville, st. Joe, and Chesapeake and
Ohio being the most conspicuous in the
rise. The adjustment OF the differences
between the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and Texas Pacific, by which
the former gets harbor facilities at san
Diego, maue San TIdHClsto stoNho
strong, and favorably influenced all
southwestern shares. There is said To
be heavy short interest in the coal
shares sEd the Vanderbilt stocks, and
this with the official denial OF the ru-
mors current on Saturday that the
trunk lines were cutting rates, and
also that Vanderbilt and ID. o. Mills
had been selling Lake Shore had a ten
dency In strengthen the market. The
increased traffic on Lake Shore and the
coal roads for the second week OF Decem-
Der also had Il favorable influence on
values.

THE UTE INDIANS.
Ouray's Mission a Failure.

Los PINos AGENCY, COL, December
2O.-Ouray has Just arrived from the
camp of the White river Utes, and an
nounced to the commission that he was
unable to effect surrender OF the
prisoners demanded by the commission.
Ouray has given the White River Utes
until the 23rd inst. to deliver up the
prisoners. This is his ultimatum, and,
If not complied with by that
time. he will call for troops
and assist them in war against Doug
las and the tribes. Ouray says the feel
ing is very strong against giving up the
Indians, and he is of the opinion that
the war faction will prevail. Ouray has
done all in his power to carry out the
peace policy of the Government, and
having failed, is ready to assist the War
Department whenever it shall commence
operations.
The Ultimatum Accepted.
Los PINos, December 21.-Ouray in
forms the commissioners that the In
dians have accepted their ultimatum.
Gen. Hatch is ready to leave with the
prisoners, but is compelled to await the
arrival OF D6merwick, who is on the
wnv from the Grand river to accompany
the chief to Washington as a represen-
tative of the White River Utes.
Jack was also selected by Ouray
to represent that tribe, but
his heart fails him and he declines the
trip, fearing arrest The change in Jack
is attributed by Ouray to be Mormon
influence. Jack has decided to quit the
reservation and join Sitting Bull. He
informed Ouray that he was a man with
a carbne and plenty ammunition, and
he proposed to fight. Gen. Hatch will
probably start on the 25th inst. The
Indian prisoners will be under the mill
tarv guard detailed from Fort Garland.

there is no new principle involved in

tions lac has made in the Sawyerman
light are but poor return Tor fifteen
months labor. The new SawyermSn-
Edison lamp is not likely to be regarded
as complete and satisfactory solution OF
the great problem which has so long
been absorbing the attention OF electri-
clans.

When young man, with no more poetry in
his soul than has the Sweet Singer of Michi-
gan, is solicited to write piece 10 young
lady's album, he may look pleased, but he
feels about one hundred and seyenty-fiv de-
grees the other way. He takes the book
home, aud after thinking over the matter Sow
eral days, procures pen and ink, selects pink
tinted page, and with an artistic flourish
writes &C To Mary" Then he scratches his
head few moments, jabs his pen in the ink
seventeen times, and begins " Dear Mary,
on this virgin page, indte loving" Here
he sticks. i" Loving" is not the word he
wants, so he scratches it out with his knife,
and ip substituting another his pen sheds n
frightful blot, which he quickly ticks mp with
his .ongue-and leaves long tailed comet
shooting across the page at the rate of forty
millions of miles Il second. This he remedies
ty ripping out the leaf. Then he commences
again, and in less than fifteen minutes two
more leaves are sacrificed. Finally he hunts
up an old file of newspapers, aud after an
hours search is rewarded by finding three APP
propriate verses which he copies, and ever
lastingly wrecks the metre by substituting
tho name of I" Mary |" for n word of four syl-
tables. When he returns the album he care
lessly informs Mary that he struck off few
impromptu lines in a hurry last night, but he
doesn't think much of them.

A MOTHERS INFLUENcE.-The late Thorn
as II. Benton, who was SO long in public life
and surrounded by temptations, paid the fol.
lowing tribute to his mother: "My mother
asked me never to use tobacco, and have
never touched it from that time to the present
day she asked me not to game, and l have
not, and cannot tell who is winning or who
is losing in games that can be played. She
admopished me, too, against drinking, and
whatever capacity for endurance | may have
at present, and whatever usefulness l may at
tain in life, attribute to having complied
with her pious and correct wishes. When
was seven years of age she asked me not to
drink, and then made resolution of total
abstinence at time when ! was sole constit-
ucnt member of my own body, and that | adj
hered to it through all time owe to my
mother"

LOOK our F0R GERM

| Every one ought TO know that most Or the
dangerous acute diseases, such as typhoid few.
Or, cholera, spinal meningitis with dysentegy
and other diseases prevalent at different seas.
ons, are produced BY the reception into the
system of germs. These germs, when received
into the system, occasion great disturbance,
and often cause death in spite Of the most as
siduous care and attention that physicians
and nurses can give. The only safety lies in
keeping these noyious intruders out Of the
system.
Disease germs are always present wherever
decay of organic matters is in progress. If
there is foul smell anywhere in the vicinity,
do not rest until its source is discovered. 1t
may be neighboring hog pen, barn yard, or
poultry house, neglected cesspool or vault.
The source of mischief may be even closer by.
1t may consist of a decaying wood pile, pu-
crescent vegetables in the cellar, carbon under
the house, foul cistern, neglected closet
an odorous wood box, molding paper on the
walls, or any one of a hundred other sources
of putrefactive germs. Whatever the cause
may be, search it out and remove it ; aud do
noe cease tue search until the cause IS wholly
removed and the atmosphere of homo wholly
freed from those noisome enemies of life aud
health.
The great remedy for germs is disinfeotion.
The best disinfecting and doodorizing agents
are the cheapest, and can be applied by any
one, as they are always at hand. Pure air
and dry earth are NATURES great disinfecting
agents. Fresh air should be used abundant
ly, and dry earth plentfully Chloride of
lime, copperas, pulverized charcoal, and per-
mangate of potash are very cheap aud effc-
lent disiufeetants and should be freely used
Wherever there is a bad odor there are myr-
lads of poisonous germs They go together.
Rout them.
