ONE WEEK IN WALL STREET.

October 7th, 1878, Western Union
Telegraph stock sold at the New York
Stock Exchange for 96.1-S per share;
October 14tb, 1873, 1t sold at 1884, n
f~luctuation Of 9.3-S per cent. in seven
days; II, 500 shares sold on a margin of
one per cent. required an actual capital
of Sl2, 500. The same stock delivered
at 1884 gave a profit of 9.3,S per cent.
on livestock or S937. 50per1 00shares. On
the whole II 500 the actual profit was
Sill, 49, 80 or 9.3S times the capital
used, in one week. This is a single
case taken from the official record of
the Stock Exchange, and shows how
money is made so rapidly in stocks.
Few people, however, have the neces-
cary cash to put up in order to realize
such immense profits as these, but cap
ital in any amount from SO to $50, 900
can be used with equal success by the
new combination S ystem of operating
in stocks which Messrs. Lawrence Il
Co., Bankers, N. u. have established.
By this method of pooling thousands of
orders in various sums and operating
them as one immense capital, share
holders realize large profits divided pro
rata monthly. New circular contains
two unerring rules for success, and full
information, so that any one can oper-
ate proftably. Stocks and Bonds want
ed. Government Bonds supplied. Apply

RUssIA's public debt amounts to 49,
$50, 44S, 024. This includes an increase
since the first of last January Of nearly
S400, 900. There is plenty of method
in her desire to negotiate loans in this
country, says the Globe Democrat. She
is not upon suitable terms with any
nation that has capital, except the
United States and France, to obtain
money from them. Should a number
of American bankers make a respecta-
BILE loan to the czar's government, ii
would at once attach a definite value
to Russian credit which would be rec
ognized by all our people. Russian
bonds would naturally become current
securities in all our monetary centers.
The car would not have for q time at
least, the slightest difficulty in contract
ing for whatever military and naval
equipments he might think necessary Ia
prepare him to meet the troubles which
are threatening. That he should prefer
to turn to this country instead of
France is very natural.

Col. INGERsOLL has been charged
with endorsing Bennett, the lhhde
publisher, right OF wrong, and n Fltts-
burgh reporter placed him on record
regarding the same. Col. Ingerson
said: .'Bennett was convicted of send
ing a pamphlet through the mail called
"Cupid Yokes." The pamphlet con-
tanned a very silly and almost idiotic
argument against marriage, but it was
not obscene. The attorney general
of the United States decided that it
was not. 1 thought he was Illegally
convicted. 1 thought he made a mis-
take to have anything to do with the
pamphlet and SO wrote him, but he
committed 10 crime. l regarded him
as q good man, and / asked for his
pardon, and did all i could to get it,and
failed. Since that time 1 have seen
some letters published, claimed to have
been written by him. If these letters
are genuine, he is not the mar l
thought he was. / cannot believe he
wrote them, and will not until 1 hear
from him. 1 am utterly opposed to the
sending of impure books through the
mails or any other way. 1 see, how
ever, from the papers that the Rev.
Joseph Cook charges that l am in favor
of the dissemination of impure books.
When he made the charge he knew it
was untrue, and that was the only rea-
son he had for making it. If it turns
out that Bennett wrote the bad letters
we will put him in a bag with Bishop
McCloskey and throw them in the Bos-

GRIswoLD, the Fat Contributor"
punches Mark Twain very heavily un-
der the lower rib. He says of the ia
nous humorist: "Mark make a
wretched failure while attempting to
edit the Buffalo Express /, some ten
years ago, and he gave up running a
funny department in the GALAXY mag
azine, because once a month was too
often for him to put a funny article to-
gether. Twain might superintend the
humorous department of an almanac,
perhaps, but he is altogether too slow
for any newspaper. And yet he has
done some very pleasant things, too;
for instance, taking fifty or sixty
thousand dollars from John T. Ray
mond for allowing the latter to play
Colonel Sellers in a drama, which he.

SAYS an exchange: "Beaconsield
AYERS that he never owned a watch or
an umbrella in his life."
This only serve to illustrate the
character of the mar Having no
watch he is never troubled to give the
time of day, although it is about the
cheapest thing he could give, seeing
that he never gives anything. And
having no umbrella he is never troub-
led by neighbors borrowing the same.
He never lends. His father never
loaned anything. Loaning was given
up in the family after Beaconsfeld's
grandfather took down his three gilt
balls and retired from business.

THE discovery by explorers in Alaska
that the Yukon river is navigable for
steamers 800 miles, is important, and
places that stream among the largest
rivers in the world. About 800 miles
from its mouth it receives a very large
navigable tributary. The basin formed
by the confluence is twenty-four miles
wide. The Yukon is nearly as large as
our Mississippi. There is snow for six
months, and without roads dog sledges
find good travelling. Game abounds
and Indians have an easy life.

A Blockade That Should be Raised.

The egress from the system of waste ma
terial through the natural channel should
be rendered free, without loss OF time. When
a blockade is produced by an attack OF con -.
stipation, n disorder which II IT becomes
chronic, Is productive OF serious bodily mis-
chief. Jaundice, severe headaches, nausea,
dyspepsia, the usual concomitants of the
maledy mentioned, all Indicate that the
bodily functions are materially interfered
with. Hostetter's Bitters is particularly
emcacious In cases OF this sort, and renders
the habit OF body perfectly regular. 1t Is a
medicine greatly TO be preferred to drastic
drench, but unhappily also TO weaken the
intestines. We say u~nhappily. since such
medicines are the fnvorite resource OF many
i'll advised persons, who resort to them upon
the most trivial occasion. and greatly to their
discomfort and injury.

A Brides Room.


In the first place, ner furniture was
this woven willow basket work, and that
costs good deal, but it was the only
expensive thing she had. She had her
self wound it in and out with narrow
blue ribbon wherever an opening offered
the square low bed, the armchair, the
small rocker, the wOrk-stand, the little
bureau, the waste-baSket Her curtains
were light-blue lambrequins she made
and put up with her own hands, a good
quality of Nottingham lace leoped over
them. In the bay-window chirped her
canary, his cage draped with white
tarlatan, gathered underneath and tied
with blue ribbons. The pillow-shams
and cOverlet were of run lace over blue
silesia, the cOverlet made in two pieces,
so that frill of edging ran across the
bed so as to simulate a sheet-sham. A
horseshoe of gilt with blue lines dangled
from the chandelier for luck. The pic
lures were not many, and they were
simple aud inexpensive, but common
blue fans at cents apiecewere grouped
on the walls, sometimes three or four
running obliquely up the wall, or three
on the curtains. A towel, 4 brown linen
towel, was fringed and hemstitched at
the ends, butterflies appliqued and blue
bows placed helter-skelter on it, and this
was put on the wall slantwise as a work
of art. You'll laugh, l suppose, but it
was such an odd little quirk of an idea
that it quite struck me. She had other
odd things. A couple of clay pipes with
stems crossed and tied with blue,
fastened up, couple of powder-horns
ornamented and slung from hooks, and
oh, me! two pigs tails, from two pig
friends slaughtered up the country,
decorated also in blue and placed either
side window. Once in while there
was q carelessly tied bow of ribbon
about two inches wide, with long stream
ers floating about on the walls, and
SPRAYS of trailing fern, of which you can
get ever so much in a package by send
inc to firm in the East, wound about
the chandelier, the pictures and the
walls, with clusters also of bright autumn
leaves. 1t Just seemed TO me, as | stood
upon the threshold and "took i'm the
salient points of the little room, that L
stood at the entrance of a fairy chamber,
it was all so light and feathery and
" chippery,n if you'll know by that what

hair lying in flakes on her forehead and
piled up in puffs over self-esteem, look
ing at me with very bright brown eyes
TO see what the effect was on me-

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 80.

If all of the bonds held by the National banks
are converted into per cents. and the same
deductions made as before, the net amount OF
interest received by the National banks upon
the 90 per cent. of bonds upon which circula-
ton is issued will be 1864 ,S75.
If the present capital of the National banks
was loaned upon bonds and mortgages at per
cent. it would yield 500, 1872, 051 interest annu-
ally. The net income derived by the National
banks from United States bonds, If bearing in
terest at per cent, and from the loan of the
amount of circulation issued upon these bonds
at per cent. amounts to S37 AID ,61S, which
leaves difference of so, $50 567 as the profit of
National banks upon circulation, based upon
per cent. bonds, which is equal to 74-100 per
cent. on the capital invested.
Under similar circumstances the profit upon
circulation to the National banks in localities
where the rate of interest is six per cent.
would be about 3 per cent more than if their
entire capital was directly loaned at per cent
upon bonds and mortgages.
The Comptroller has also made a statement,
showing that the National banks now in exis-
tence are entitled to receive upon their present
capital, under section 5171 of the Revised
Statu tes $685., 372 ,916 of circulating notes. The
total amount issued is 1913. 045 ,346. The Ma
tional banks already organized and in opera
ton are therefore entitled to receive upon the
deposit of the necessary amount of United
States bonds $7G,3 $40 of additional circula-
ton. In other words, they can increase their
cirulation one-ffth if at any time they are in
want of the additional amount, or if any profit
can be made by an additional issue.
