A CURIOUS PHENOMENOM.

The Plandealer, of East Kent,
Ontario, states that curious and in
explicable phenomenon was witnessed
recently by Mr.. David Muckle and
Mr.. w. r. Mckay, two citizens of
that town The gentlemen were in q
field on farm of the former, when
they heard a sudden loud report, like
that of cannon. They turned just in
time to see cloud of stones flying up
ward from a spot in the field Sur
prised beyond measure they examined
the spot, which was circular and about
l6 feet across, but there was no sign
of an eruption nor anything to Indicate
the fall of heavy body there. The
ground was simply swept clean.
They are quite certain that it was
not caused by meteorite, an eruption
of the earth, or whirlwind.
Harvest hands get two dollars per
day in the eastern counties.
A singular accident occurred at
Irwin Station, recently. A miner was
walking along the railroad track when
a passing train exploded rail cap. A
piece of the cap struck the man in the
throat, cutting it so that for two days
he was unable to speak He is slowly
recovering.
A beefsteak chopped up fine and
baked with -four and yeast in the form
of a "meat-bread" loaf is the latest
dietetic sensation. 1t is asserted that
meat thus treated entirely disappears
during the process of publication, the
nutritive principles becoming incor-
porated with the bread.

Jackson Tribune and Sun: It. is said
that money has been raised in New
York to complete a railroad from
Vicksburg to Shreveport. The road
will be an important feeder to the
Texas Pacific, and on an airline east
from the Texas terminus Of that great
transcontinental line. Memphis should
as soon as possible bestir herself for a
similar connection. The future of
Memphis lies west and southwest. 1t
is in that direction that she needs rail
roads, and must have them. Her con-
nections and facilities east of the
Mississippi are all sufficient for the
next ten or twenty years.

The prospects indicate that a much
larger volume Of currency will be held
by the people Of the south and west
than on any previous season; also,
that it will be late in the season before
the eastward monetary flow sets in
this year. The scarcity Of money
in all leading financial centers at the
east bears testimony that this view
expresses the situation. 1t also indi-
Gates that people west and south are
better off than heretofore. At pres
emit, our local money market is un-
changed, discount rates being steady
at 8 per cent, and 6 to 10 per cent
outside of banking and insurance
companies.
Exchange is steady, eastern cotton
bills being taken at t discount when
no grace is asked, and sc when it is.
New Orleans rates are off. Checks
on all points par.
The uncurrent security market is in
a disturbed state at the east. Here,
Memphis and Charleston railroad
stock is quoted at 81 to 80; Memphis
gas meets some inquiry at 70; others
are quiet, or, if not so, little is heard
of transactions. At New York yes
terday $4,000 shares of various kinds
were sold. Louisville and Nashville
