Where the Tilsurd Poo. Failed.

New YORK, March 22.-The Times on the
issue of Northern Pacific railway stock: The
Willard syndicate unquestionably obtained a
block of s25 100000 of the 5000, 900
of stock, while Billings held a s6,OOo,-
900 block, having with that amount
previously been the heaviest owner
of stock. The largest amount of stock ever
voted on at an election of directors is stated
to have been $SS, 100000, so while the Willard
syndicate did not really obtain a majority of
shares issued, they did obtain much
more than a majority of shares pre-
viously voted upon, and it was their
idea the stock held promiscuously
would be much more likely to gravitate to-
ward their $25 ,000, 900 block than towards the
900 of President Billings. The Willard
stock was purchased at an average of 3s for
common and 80 fer preferred. Since the
price has ranged at about so for
common and IS for preferred, at times
rising above these quotations. On Saturday
last the market opened at 491l for common
4s and 7a. OF common stock $50
shares were sold, and of the preferred
2,7OO. There was change on Monday
when the market for common opened at Ak
and quickly declined to AK and closing at
43X. Preferred dropped to 6SH. The sales
were l 1866 shares Of common and 7,525 of
preferred. Yesterday the market opened with
common at 40 and it was as low as 41X. Pre-
ferred opened at 81 and fell one point lower,
closing with slight advance.

More specu1attons and Esplanotion,.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The Tribune's an
nonncement Of the distribution by the North
ern Pacific of the residue of it's common
stock, amounting to nearly SIS, 900, par
value, excited great surprise in Wall street
yesterday. The effect of the issue not only
on the market but on the position Of the Viii
lard pool, was the subject of much discussion.
An active member of this pool denied it had
ever been claimed that the pool had secured
o greater part of the companys stock.
He declared it only held larger amount than
was held by any one or could be secured by
any one now. However, some persons said
about two weeks ago Willard had secured ab-
solute control of the company and he declared
Yesterday Willard still held the stock he had
previously bought.
A director of the Northern Pacific company,
who was alsp member of the bond holders
committee at the time of the reorganization,
explains the reason why the residue of stock
had not been distributed before. When the
bond holders bought the property in 1875
they were loath to admit to representation in
the new company the former stockholders.
On account of the high position and character
of many of the old stockholders this reluctance
was issued for the old stock, share for share,
and the new stock was deprived of the power
of voting until July 1, 1850. The question of
disposal of the residue of the stock,
which amounted to about $4,000, 600,
came up almost Immediately afterward
The capital stock of the company had
been divided so as to give the preferred stock
control of the company, even after the com.
mon stock became entitled to vote, but the
preferred stock was convertible at par into
certain bonds of the company and conversion
of cancelled stock. The absolute con.
troll of the management which had
been granted to the preferred
stock by the plan of reorganization became
imperiled by the conversion of part of the
preferred stock. The issue of the residue of
common stock held in the company's treasury
would have destroyed the supremacy of the
preferred stock. Under these conditions
the stock was retained until the
demand of the proprietors became
imperative. The control of the company at
the next election will pass from the preferred
to the common stockholders.
The next general meeting of stockholders
of the company will take place in September.
Whether the present issue of stock will result
in change OF management no one connected
with the company is willing to predict.

Remarkable Circumstance.

The recent remarkable experience of
Prof. Won Schweinhund, of the Milwau-
kee Polytechnic Institute, promised at
interest to all philosophers, and
especially to electricians. Although this
promise was not fulfilled, it is neverthe-
less, true that the experience in question
was quite unprecedented, and deserves
the attention of all thinking men.
On the night of the 2lst of December
Prof. Won S6hweinhund was spending
the evening with number of friends at
the residence of - Smith, Esq, dis
cussing the philosophy of tho uncondi-
tional in connection with Milwaukee beer.
At about one o'clock a. NJ, ii occurred to
him that Mrs. Won Schweinhund would
be uneasy at his prolonged absence from
home, and would undoubtedly sit up for
him and welcome him with energetic
hands in an exceedingly warm manner.
He therefore took final glass of beer,
put on his capacious ulster, and bade the
company farewell.
The night was exceedingly cold and
the pavement was unusually active in its
motions, This, together with weak
ness in the Professors legs due to
severe cold in the head, led him to pause
by convenient lamp-post to collect his
thoughts. He rested for several min
utes, unbuttoned his ulster to look at his
, watch. buttoned it up again, and sum
moning his energies prepared to re-
sumo his walk. To his great alarm he
found that he could not move from the
spot. An unseen and unknown force
held him tight to the iron lamp-post,
and his most frantic efforts could not
enable him to release himself.
His first impression was that he had
been tied to the lamp-post by thieves
while resting himself, but he could not
discover the slightest trace of any rope,
and was thus compelled to abandon the
hypothesis. Soon he began to feel a
strange sensation Of something very cold
in the region Of his breast and abdomen.
1t was clear to him that cold current
WAS running from his breast-bone down
ward, and, being profound philoso-
pher, he reasoned that, as he felt this
current in front, it must really be in act
i've operation somewhere else. and was.
undoubtedly, running down his spinal
column. After deep meditation, he sud
denly remembered that he had heard
that certain streets in Milwaukee were
soon to be lighted by the electric lieht.
He looked upward at the lamp above his

Dntch Houses ana Kitchens.

All the houses of Rotterdam lean more
or less, but the greater part of them so
much that at the roof they lean forward
at least foot beyond their neighbors
which may be straight, or not 80 visibly
inclined; one leans forward as if it would
fall into the street; another backward,
another to the left, another to the right;
at some points six or seven contiguous
houses all lean forward together, those
in the middle most, those at the end less,
looking like a paling with the crowd
pressing against it. At another point
two houses lean together as if supporting
one another. In certain streets the
houses for long distance lean one way,
like trees beaten by prevailing wind;
and then another long row will lean in
opposite direction, as if the wind had
changed Sometimes there is certain
regularity of inclination that is scarcely
noticeable; and again, ut crossings, and
in the smaller street, there is an lnde-
scribable confusion of lines, real archi-
tectual frolic, dance of houses, a disor-
der that seems animated. There are
houses that nod forward as If asleep,
others that start backward as if frighten-
ed; some bending toward each other,
their roofs almost touching, as if in secret
conferences; some falling upon one
another, us if they were drunk; some
leaning backward between others that
lean forward, like indicators dragged
onward by their guards; rows of houses
that courtesy to a steeple; groups OF
small houses all inclined toward one in
the middle, like conspirators in conclave.
We went down to see the kitchen (of a
house in Delft, it was splendid. When
returned to Italy, and gave deserip-
ton of it to my mother and the servant
who piqued herself on her neatness, they
we're annlhilated. The walls were as
white as untouched snow; the saucepans
reflected objects like mirrors; the mantle
piece was ornamonted by q species OF
muslin curtain, like the canopy OF bed
without trace of smoke the fireplace
beneath was covered with China tiles
that looked as bright as if no fire had
ever been lighted there; the shovel,
tongs and poker, and the chains and
hooks seemed made Of polished steel. A
lady in Il ball dress might have gone into
every hole and corner of that kitchen
and come forth without a smirch upon
her whiteness.

lea,. and sand that it was not only cX-
,,.urlN byillt. but that it seemed to be
di,lci into four separate lamps, lie
now comprphendcd the mystery Of the
iyrisrnmput. The lamp post to which
he was fastened was evidently one OF
those to which the electric hSht had
been applied. The electric hight passing
through the iron lamp post had been
switched off by the attraction of the
spinal column, and was flowing through
bim, producing the sensation of extreme
cold, and fastening him with a force Of
several tons to the lamp post.
The horror Of his situation now clearly
star, Prof Won Schweiuhund in the
fa,o. He saw that not only would he be
held to the lamp-post until some one
should come to his assistance and turn
of the electric current, but in all probG-
biltv tue electricity would gradually
disintegrate his spinal marrow, and thus
either Kill him outright or reduce him 10
n miserable, spineies3, gelatinou3 wreck.
Moreover. he feared that the cold pro-
duccd by the current would AFFECT ms
/ heart, and by disturbing his circulation
bring about fatal result. In these CIR
cumstanccs he lifted up his voice and
| lowled for help, but the silence of the
midnight streets remained unbrokcn eX-
cent 10y his agonized voice.
About two o'clock two young men
came down the street, and, attracted by
the professors cries. kind y stopped and
listened to his story. In the most un-
feeling manner they burst into laugh,
and refused to give him any help. They
even made rude remarks concerning
beer, and told him that the cold night
air was good for him. Prof. Won
Sehweinhund lost his temper, and ad-
dressed to them the strongest language
contained in the German dictionary
but they only laughed the more, and
went on their wicked and heartless way
1t was nearly morning when shapely
policeman approached, and after listen
ing to the Professors pitiful story, said
to him: "Se here, old man, if you're that
drunk that you don't know you've but
toned your ulster round that there lamp
post l guess I'd better take you in
Light dawned on the mind of the philos
opher as he listened to the policeman
and glanced at himself in the glare O.
the bull's-eye lantern. There was ba
sis of truth in the policeman's remarks
Prof. Won Schweinhund had buttonet
his ulster round the lamp post, and hat
thus unwittingly made himself a prls
oner.
The coat was promptly unbuttoned
and the Professor resumed his homewarC
walk. Now that he was free, he rathe
regretted that his electrical hypothesi
had proved to be false. Had il beel
true he could have written powerful
pamphlet on the subject, and would hav
been spared the necessity of explaining
to Mrs. Won Schweinhund that, owing t.
mistake in connection with his ulster
he had been kept away from home unit

Moving Forward,

We are moving on as a nation, politi.
cally, morally and Intellectually. What
was our country o little more than three
centuries ago but vast wild territory,
inhabited only by animals and the un-
cultivated savage? How different to- day.
The trod of the iron horse is heard in
every part of its wide domain. Once
rude barges were only constructed, but
now grand ships moved, by the propel-
ling force of steam, guided by the polar
izing ore, plow the mighty deep. The
press groans under the weight Of printed
matter, and messages are conveyed with
lightning speed to all lands, as the great
telegraph wires unite continent to con-
tinent. We are progressing intellectu-
ally. Formerly the light of science
was confined to small class Of indi-
viduals; now all, rich and poor, high
and low, have alike the same oppor-
tunities of intellectual improvement. In
stitutions of learning of every class are
being founded, and step by step we are
ascending the mountain of knowledge,
finding new beauties at every advance.
"Man Is searching the bowels of the
earth for more information, and making
new discoveries in the heavens; yet the
great ocean of truth lies undiscovered
before him, and we will continue to ad
vance age after age until it shall be
further trayersed. We are advancing
politically. A century ago we were in
subsection OF Mother England, but were
freed by the blood of our honored
fathers, and live to bless their memories
that we are free nation. Still cruel
curse remained, but now liberty and
freedom are vouchsafed to all, making
an area in the progress of our gov
ernment and the civilization Of our ma
tion. We are also progressing morally,
although we are wont to believe that the
world is growing more wicked every day,
but mark the many institutions of be-
nevolence which have been founded and
are still sprnging mp, for the protection
of the poor and afflicted. Freedom of
thought and speech is enjoyed by all, and
in spite of this, or, perhaps for this rea-
son, we are religious nation. ''As sci
ence and religion advance they mingle
their waters in one broad stream and
bless the world" If they continue to
advance in the way of truth, we shall be
able 10 pitch our tents in yet higher
climes, on flames eternal camping
