mark, however, that while the leading
stocks were in their boomiest condition,
the great holders of the same were free
sellers. Buyers at prices two or three
per cent lower parted with their hold
lngs without a tear, and pocketed their
gains with that quiet satisfaction which
always accompanies the performance OF
a virtuous action. This III a measure
accounts for the partial drop in prices at

A Boom in Stock at the End OF the Railroad
War.
New York Herald, 18th.
Although there was something akin to
a boom in prices to-day and very large
business transacted, there was really
very little of interest to be recorded Of
the stock market. It was pretty we'll
known yesterday that the controlling in
terest in Omaha had been secured by the
Vanderbilt people, and that the North
western was to benefit thereby, but it
was hardly expected that this should
mean definite settlement of the railroad
war or that prices should start off upon
a rampage as they did to-day. Never
theless, they did SO. much to the grief
of the bears, who had been caught short,

Chicago lntcr-Occan,

General Butler continues to puzzle the
good people of Massachusetts. and every
body is in doubt as to where he stands
politically. He has several times lately
expressed himself as a supporter of the
president, and has publicly commended
the latter's message to congress. A Bos-
ton paper says the wife of prominent
republican politician meeting Butler in
a street car said: "You will soon be in
augurated governor of Massachusetts" /"
In reply Butler said: "Yes, madam, and
a republican governor. I was not
elected by the democratic votes, but by
q large body of republicans who are dis
gusted with the men who have controlled
the party. The democrats have not
gained a victory in my election. 1 am a

The Washington Republican says this
about the admission of Dakota: "Dakota

bon to again demonstrate that he for

A Aquarter of century ago the demo.
cratic party fought the admission Of
Kansas into the union of states because
it was republican in politics. And now
the same party opposes the admission Of
Dakota for like reason. No political
organization based upon such narrow
sectional ideas can ever hope to win the
confidence of the American people. Da.
kota is the peer of Kansas, and it is one
of the first duties of the present session
of congress to open the doors of the
union to the new state"

According to the Chicago Times, the
statement that 8. w. Packard, attorney
for some of the Yankton county bond
holders, had agreed to the proposed plan
ofsettlement is not true. The Times says:
Yesterday Mr.. Packard received a telegram
from the chairman of the Yankton county del
egation at Washington to the effect that the
consent of the bondholders was desired before
congress could be asked to authorize the issu-
aace of the four and a half per cent bonds. Mr..
has as yet been given. The bonds he regards as
> poor substitute for the money due to the
bondholdcrs. He will 60 to Washington to-da,
and will communicate the wishes of his clientt
to the Yankton county committee.
1t appears that the wrath of his roya
highness is not yet appeased. Perhaps
the contingent fee would fade into moth
ingness under this arrangement, and Mr.
Packard may be presumed to care more
for the fee than for the interests of the
bondholders or for the admission OF Da
kota.

THE WAY TO BUILD Up A TowN-The
came from Lapeer Michigan, shows how our
Western friends build up their towns. The
envelope contains a card from the chairman
of committee to encourage manufacturing,
in which the business men of Lapecr offer
substantial aid to parties to locate manufac.
tories in their city. No town can grow 10
any considerable size or attain great prosper
ity without manufactures. 1t has long been
a rcproach to Hartford county that she has
no manufacturing interests. Manufactures
bring workmen and their families, who must
be fed and clothed, and this furnishes home
market for farm productions. The want OF
railroad through the centre of our county
has doubtless deferred capitalists from taking
advantage of the resources we can offer, in
the way of splendid water power, the best
timber, immense beds of iron ore, &c. That
objection will in measure cease to exist,
when the Maryland Central Railroad is COM
Something in addition should be done to en-
courage the establishment of manufactures
Of any kind If this encouragement takes no
more generous shape, those who have land
to sell should at least not discourage enter
prising men from settling among us by
charging eXorbitant prices for manufacturing
sites. To attain the fullest measure of pros.
perity we must encourage manufacturers to
establish their business in our county, and
particularly we should offer every facility
and generous aid to any responsible, capable
person or firm who may desire to open an
agricultural implement factory in Hartford
county.

A solemn silence fills the sacred place,
And holy peace is seen in every face.
There Gods chief pastor waits with lifted hand,
To bless the people with sweet command:
"Blessing be thine from Him who Ia adored,
Invoked give, thro' Jesus Christ our Lord"
The service ended, all arise from prayer,
While angels whisper to one sleeper there
A little child, unconscously at rest,
Slumbered and dreamed upon tsmother's breast
said, 30, what type of faith is this,
In chidlike trust to lay us down In bliss;
TO rest upon the bosom of an heavenly love,
While saints are drawing blessings from above
Like children in the Church-our mot he RS arms
We need not fear the din of earth's alarms
But folded there we well may safely lay,
Until we wake up in eternal day.
