stopped His Paper.

Nowadays, when IA subscriber gets so
mad because an editor differs with
him on some trivial question that he
discontinues his subscription and
''stops his paper" we remind him of
a good anecdote of the late Horace
Greeley, the well-known editor of the
New York Tribune. Passing down
Newspaper row, in New York city one
morning, he met one of his readers,
who exclaimed:
"Mr. Greeley, after the article you
published this morning, intend to
stop your paperm
'Oh, no." said Mr.. Greeley, ''dOn't
do that"
eyes, my mind is made up. shall
stop the paper"
But the angry subscriber was not to
be appeased, and they separated.
Late in the afternoon the two met
again, when Mr.. Greeley remarked:
''Mr. Thompson, ] am very glad you
did not carry out your threat this
morning"
"What do you mean :"
"Why you said you were going to
stop my paper"
"And so | did | went to the office
and had my paper stopped"
"You are surely mistaken | have
just come from there, and the press
was running and business was boom
ing"

Lord Kenyon thus addressed a dis
honest butler, who had been convicted
of stealing large quantities of wine
from his masters cellar: "PrisOner at
the bar, you stand convicted, OH the
most conclusive evidence. of crime
of ineXpressible atrOcity-a crime that
defiles the sacred springs of domestic
confidence, and is calculated to strike
alarm into the breast of every English
man who invests largely in the choicer
vintages of Southern Europe. Like
the serpent of old, you have stung
the hand of your protector. Fortunate
in having a generous employer, yOu
might, without dishonesty, have con
tinued to supply your wretched wife
and children with the comforts Of suffi
cient prosperity, and even with some
of the luXuries of afiluence; but, dead
to every claim of natural affection and
blind to your own real interest, you
burst through all the restraints of re
ligion and morality, and have for many
years been feathering your nest with
your masters bottles"

Henry Ward Beecher made an allu-
sion in the Sunday school association
of Williamsburg concerning the Sunday
school parade in May. He said he had
no sympathy or love for creed which
was used to separate the Lords chill
dren. His children could talk with
Catholic children, with Unitarian chill
dren or children of any other people
They could not pen in the Lords chill
dren like sheep and he despised any
attempt to do it.
A quiet Virginia granger who lost 20
sheep by dogs one night while ago
went to the owner of a suspected cur
and asked that it be killed. The OWL
er of course said that his dog was inno-
cent, and the quiet granger went away.
He piled the 20 sleeps carcasses in a
heap, built a little rail fence about
them, and smiled quiet smile. The
fence was made so as to form a sort of
half covering over the mutton, in
shape like an Esquimaux hut, with "a
hole at the top, so that, while any kind
of dog could run up on the outside
and jump in, no possible dog could
ever jump out. The next morning the

The Engineers story.

On sunny October day, according
to instructions | had received from the
officers of the railroad company, |
handed the engineer of Engine No. 32
a letter from his chief, requesting that
| accompany him upon the engine, as
a better post for the observations
along the rails had been commanded
to make.
After reading it, he touched his hat,
and respectfully bade me welcome, ar
ranging as comfortable seat for me
as he could provide for the long ride
which lay before us.
1t was a novel experience for me,
and highly exciting ene, as we seem
ed to cleave the air, the train thunder
ing along behind us /; and could but
look admiringly at the man who stood
so unfiinchingly at his post, and in
whose hand lay in reality all our
lives.
He was a tall, handsome fellow,
whose keen gray eyes never stirred
from his post, either to right or left,
but whose CHEEKY laugh often rang out
on the clear morning air as we chatted
together.
By noon We had become friends, at

RATION, n. NJ, April IA, 80.
On Monday, the 10th inst, there was
radical change in the weather in
Kansas, and the succession of warm
and bright days gave place to the
most disagreeable weather of the sea-
son. This has followed us up to date,
now five days, without the slightest
let-up. One can imagine something of
the apologies of the residents of this
region who are so proud of the "Italian
skies" and beauty of their weather.
At Topeka it rained and hailed and in
Colorado it showed. In New Mexico
it has done all the former pleasant
things, and in addition there has been
for two day a strong ''norther" that
would curl up an Esquimaux. | have
not suffered so much with the cold in
two winters in Vermont as | have
yesterday and to day.

is called here) is place worth seeing.
Eighteen months ago there was only
one house here, now there is a popula-
ton of from 1900 to 1000 people, and
large village laid out and very rapid
ly filling up. The immediate cause of
this rapid growth is the Santa Fe road,
which makes this point a terminus of
one of its divisions, and is here build

or "Puts." Calls and "strAddIes."
Saturday afternoon THE REPUBLICAN scribe
stopped at Bateman & Co s Office in the Corcoran
building, with view Of ascertainng something
definite in regard TO the relation Washington bears
financially 10 Wall street. The senior member of
the firm said that the method of purchasing and
selling securities had undergone a radical change
recently from two oauses-the formation of the
washington Stock Exchange and the use OF private
wire connections with the New York Exohan &c
Formerly when broker received an order to buy
or sell District securities he was compelled to ruin
All over town 10 find a seller or n purchaser; but
since by the efforts Of several prominent bankers
mere, the Washington Exchange was established
TO buy or sell securities Another thing gained Is
the publication Of the quotations of our local
securities. In relation to the private wire system,
no broker here who deals In other than District
securities can do an entirely successful business
on the New YORK board unless he has private wire
connection with it. The demands Of bis custom
ers for the most rapid execution of their orders
makes the employment Of electricity necessity.
Under the old methods when the investors were
subjected to the usual delays of the crowded wires
ofthe, telegraph companies, even Government"
were bought and
SOLD ABOVE AND BELOW THE MARKET PRICE.
There are not more than Eve brokers here"
wires. There is H. d. Cookies, Middleton < Co.'S,
aud our own. ] understand that the number Is
limited by the declination Of the Western Union
Company to lease any more wires"
" In what time can you send message and re-
celve repy2" queried THE REPUBLICAN.
We frequently execute orders in four or five
minutes, and when we first got our wire we made
an experiment under favorable conditions aud
found that only twenty mine seconds were re-
quired. The telegraph and telephone combine to
make all places one, and virtually puts our WASH
ington office In New York. Ono can give an order
here and have II executed as quickly as he can in
New York; indeed, quicker, as closer attention is
paid TO wire orders Our business is not con-
fined strictly to Washington; we have many Gus
toners in the West and South. The growth Of the
brokerage business in this city viii now be uni
form and steady, though not RAPID. The field is
pretty well filled with brokers here now, aud new
corners have poor chance, as those who now
possess all the advantages, and In whom the
operators have confidence, mOnUpuize the bust
ness. Just let me say one thing before you 20.
