The exhibit this week Is decidedly an
unfayorable one, both as compared with
last week aud with the corresponding
week of last year. In the q leading cities
the total gross exchange OF the week
amounted 10 81, ,0i3, 500, ,S3S against 81 ,S46,-
3sG,6li in twenty.three cities last week.
This falling off is TO be assigned in the
main to legitimate causes, the stormy
weather has interfered with distribution
in localities, and in this way business at
points has been somewhat curtailed, and
the aggregate OF the clearing house ex.
changes marked down. Our figures, as
compared with those OF the corresponding

The Death OF the Elder soteIdo.

WASHINGTON, February l3.-The coroner
at Ii o'clock to-day continued his inquest
on the remains Of A. NJ. Soteldo, the jour
nalist, killed in the affray with Barton, at
the office of the Repubiiodls, and who died
at the Providence Hospital at half-past ten
Saturday night. The bullet was found in
the vertebral column, lodged against the
spinal cord, and that caused the paralysis
OF the body from the neck down. The bull
let which killed Soteldo weighed 81 grains;
The bullet that wounded Barton weighed
within half grain and evidently came
from the same pistol. 1t is, therefore, re-
garded certain that A. c. SOteldo shot his
brother when shooting at Barton. Young
SOteldo is almost Crazed with grief at the

without taking the trouble to have them

A Beautiful Story.

Coleridge relates story to this effect ::
Alexander, during his march into Africa,
came to a people dwelling in peaceful huts,
who knew neither war nor conquest. Gold
being offered him, he refused it, saying
that his sole object was to learn the man
ners and customs of the inhabitants.
During this interview with the African
chief two of his subjects brought a case
before him for judgment. The dispute
was this: The one had bought piece of
ground which, after the purchase, was
found to contain treasure, for which he
felt himself bound to pay; the other refus-
ed to receive anything, stating that he had
sold the ground with what it might be
found to contain, apparent or concealed.
Said the chief, looking at the one, "You
have son." and to the other, "You have
a daughter; let them be married and the
treasure given them as dowry."
Alexander was astonished.
"And what" said the chief, "would
have been the decision in your country"
"We should have dismissed the parties
and seized the treasure for the kings use.
"And does the sun shine in your coun-
try?" said the chief; "does the rain fall
there? Are there any cattle there which
feed upon the herbs and green grass?"
Certainly" said Alexander.
"Ahp' said the chief, 'it is for the sake
of those innocent cattle that the Great Be-
ing permits the sun to shine, the rain to
fall and the grass to grow in your country.

Rich Enough.

Judge Hilton, who inherited large part
of A. T. S4ewart's estate, and whose with
drawal from business caused great deal of
talk if not censure brought out Mr.. Talm-
age in defence of the act. In a recent lee
ture he said $50 far from deserving this
disreputable carricature and industrious
lying of the public in regard to his private
affairs, I think he deserves great credit for
his common sense. The simple fact is, he
got enough money and stopped. With ten
fortunes he ought to have been satisfied.
He gives example to ten thousand men in
this city who have enough and do not know
it. Instead of stopping, like Judge Hilton
while they have health and strength to en-
joy what they have garnered, they go on
toward their graves asking for more-an
ass crouching down for more burden. There
are merchants in the counting rooms look
ing through their spectacles and trying to
see if they can't pick up another sixpence
before they die They ought to have quit
fifteen years ago. They ought to have got
out of the way and given the boys chance.
What commentary on the diseased state
of the public mind on the subject of mon
ey-getting, that SO few people can under
stand that it is possible for man to get all
he wants of this worlds success / think
it is one of the most exhilarating facts that
in this century we have found man who
had enough money to stop"

The Microscope as a Detective.

In Germany, some years ago, it was
discovered by the authorities of railway
that barrel which, on being dispatched
from a certain station, contained silver coin,
had, during the journey to its destination,
been emptied of its contents and filed with
sand. For some time no clew to the per-
petrator of the robbery could be discovered;
but at length learned professor, having
been consulted on the subject, called in the
aid of microscope. The professor went
to work on the track at once. He know
ing that even though in the very minutest
degree, there was distinctive diferencei in
the sand found near the various stations
along the railway line, sent for samples of
it from each of the places through which
the train containing the silver coin had
passed. With the microscope he then
carefully examined each sample, compared
it with the sand found in the barrel, and
thus identified the station at which the latter
had been procured. Having in this inge-
nious manner, found out the station he
wanted, little difficulty remained; for the
railway servants employed at it, by one OF
whom the robbery had been committed,
where SO few in number that the culprit
was readily detected. In this ingenious
manner the thief was found.
