OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

Wall Street Looking to Its securities-The
Great Clerical Fight-How Patti Made a
sensation-Jay Goul! Opens His Money
Eag-Lippman Meyers suit-sad Death
of a Bank President, Etc.
NEW YORK, March 25, 1882.
EDITOR CHIEF:
Never in the history of Wall street
has there been such All overha,lling Of
securities and money bags as there has
been within the past two weeks. Every
officer of g bank, OF an insurance com
pany, who has the misfortune to he
trustee, or a deacon, is eyed with extra
suspicion, while everything like Sun
day school superintendent is looked upon
as a certain candidate for the peniten
tiary. Bank presidents, who have worn
white cravats for the last forty years to
let people know they were not Of the
world, are now sporting green, yellow
and red neckties, and, instead Of canvass
ing the success of our foreign missions,
and the benefit to the lost children Of
men Of the Bible Society, wishing to
avoid the taint of suspicion, they may
now be heard speculatihg on the last
walking match, and the next prize fight,
and the majority of them are busy
hunting up the pedigree Of all the
possible entries for the next Spring
races; while, to my certain knowledge,
not less than half-d dozen eminent and
pious tinanciers have bought boxing
gloves and Indian clubs, and, instead of
suit of regulation black that would
have passed muster at a Fifth Avenue
funeral, every one of them now has a
straight-breasted, consumptive, bob-tail
coat aud tight pair of pants, that fit
like az eel-skin.
The sudden and remarkable disap-
pearance of the sedate and grave old
chaps who were thick as hops on the
streets few weeks ago, might awaken
the lively apprehension of stranger !;
but there is no just cause for alarm they
are all safe, and have only assumed their
present disguises till the storm against
deacons and Sunday school superlnten-
dents blows over, and when peace com es
again every one Of them will be found in
his regulation black coat and white
cravat, looking as demure as cat over
dish of cream. Since the discovery of
the Gilman frauds and forgeries few
! wears ago, the street has no such shaking
| up as it has had within the last two
| weeks. Rumors Of new discoveries in
unexpected quarters have kept Wall
street in state Of feverish anxiety.
The dedication of Mr.. R. II. Cornwel]
| will have this good effect: it will be
! means of having the trust funds and
bank securities thoroughly overhauled
| The whole Of our banking system has
been rotten. A lot of old fogies are
! chosen presidents, vice presidents and
trustees. The fellows who handle The
cash, however, are generally sharp, keen
| chaps, who can strike Il balance which
! tue lightning calculator would fail f
| detect. These individuals know that il
! is money in their purses to be recognized

THE WAITING,

Bf JOHN G. WHITTIER.
[ wait and watch before my eyes
Metllinks the night grows thin and gray,
l wait and watch the eastern skies,
To see the golden spears uprise
Beneath the orihamme OF day!
Like one whose limbs are bound in trance,
hear the day sounds swell and grow,
And see. across the twilight glance
Troop after troop, in swift advance,
The shifting ones with plumes Of snow!
/ know the errand of their feet;
l know VI hat mighty work is theirs;
can but lift up hands unmeet,
The threshing floors of God to beat,
And speed them with unworthy prayers.
will not dream in vain despair,
The steps of progress wait for me;
The puny leverage of a hair
The planets impulse well may spare;
drop of dew the tided sea.
The loss, if loss there be is mine,
Aud yet not mine if understood;
For one shall grasp and one resign,
One drink life's rue and one its wine,
And God shall make the balance good.
Oh, power to do! Oh, bafflcd will.
Oh, prayer and action ye are one,
Who may not strive may yet fulfil!
The harder task of standing still,
And good but wished with God is done.

JHIEF.
CONVERSATION.
BY yILLETTE.

BY F1LLETTE.
Our feet may tread the wine-press overfowing,
Our weary hands pluck thorns in herby field;
Some other lips will draw the grape.juce glowing,
In other grasp the spikenard balm will yield.
Our shipwrecks will bring to others treasure
Bales of costly merchandise, spice of Ind
If ours the loss, to them the fullest measure
That comes upheaped by sea or tropic wind
Nourished by the bright, red wine Of slaughter,
thousand harvest plains stand fair of hue;
The stl cam of carnage flows like crimson water,
To fertilize the grain of Waterloo.
Thrice the fierce, wild lake may rankly cover
It's marshy banks with venom and decay,
And the fitting witches light may hover
Around the false and terror-haunted way.
Still from the slime of those dread savannas,
Fed of the death that turks within the air,
Spring pure, sweet lilies snowy banners
Of love and truce, harbipgers Of all things fair
So too the torrent Of the storm advances,
Through the icy vaults of Juras hills,
And ruin marks the path of avalanches,
Whose laundering the ear of Nature fills.
Yet born of havoc, amid the mountains,
All dewy grace shines forth the Alpine rose,
And in the valleys babbng fountains
Steal calmly down from urns of Alpine SHOWS
Light comes after darkness, and from sorrow
Spring the heaven-born twins Of joy and peace;
So linked the good with ill that all may borrow
Some bliss in pain-of hope a newer lease
God is merciful there's naught of evil given
On earth to blight the conscious soul of man,
But blessings follow in the law of heaven
Which works not ill, but gladness in its plan
Bayou Sara, April 2, 1882.

Woman's health is dependent upon regu-
lar monthly uterine action. Interfere with
this grand function of female life, and dis
ease will be the legitimate result. Nature
demands regular action, and her laws can
not be violated unless at the expense of
health. This function, this monthly seere-
ton must continue from the age of puberty
to the g turn Of life," without unnatural
obstruction and inattention to this fact las
consigned thousands Of females to untimely
graves. A remedy for all these troubles
has been prepared by the medical profes
sion, which will relieve old and young of
these monthly excesses and Weaknesses
will restore nature; will strengthen the
weak and debilitated; will give rotundity
and shape to the lean and haggard, and
will impart iron to the impoverished blood :.
DR.. Dromgoole's English Female Bitters is
the remedy aud will do the work to salts

Constipation is the bane of American peo-
pie. Thousands of remedies have been
offered and used, but none have given
satisfaction until Bailey's Saline Aperient
came into use. This new remedy as a
laxative or gentle purgatire, is a white
powder and is pleasant and never failing in

A PLEASANT PICTURE.
[Baitimorean. |

There is man," said his neigh
bcr, speaking of a village carpenter,
"who has done more good, I really
believe, IN this community, than
any other person who ever lived in
it He can not talk very well in
prayer meetings, and he doesn't t
often try. He isn't worth two thou
sand dollars, and it is very little
that he can put on subscription
papers for any object. But a new
family never moves into the village
that he does not find them out, to
give them peighborly welcome
and offer any little service he can
lender. He is usually on the look
out to give strangers a seat in his
pew at church. He is always ready
to watch with q sick neighbor and
look after his affairs for him, and
I've sometimes thought that he and
his wife keep house plants IN win
ter, just for the sake of being able
to send little boquets to invalids.
He finds time for a pleasant word
for every child he meets, and you'll
always see them climbing into his
one-horse wagon, when he has no
other load. He really seems to
have a genius for helping folks in
all sorts of common ways, and it
does me good every day just to
meet him On the street"
