Prayers and Business.

He was meek and humble-looking
man, wearing stand-up collar and a
white tie, and seeming to be always on
the point OF giving out his text. After
clearing his throat and hesitating q
while, he suddenly asked:
1T | had a margin up on Wabash,
and if Wabash should 90 down, down,
down, do you think that faith and pray
or would have any etlect?'
"My dear sir, replied the man in
the white hat, as he came TO stand
still in his walk, "if you had margin
up on Wabash at, say, 80 cents, and it
went down to 40, all the faith and pray
ers you could dump into hundred-acre
lot wouldn't save YOU from putting up
more, or being closed out. "
Don't You believe in the virtue of
prayer, STRIP
Not in a business way on Wabash
no, sir, II you are thinking of buying
stocks, sir, be ready with your margins
look out for rOorbacks, watch the tick
ers, and hire some cheap man to do all
the praying away back in some cheap
town. Don't give him over - cents
per day. and make up Your mind at tho
start that it's money thrown away. y

A Word 10 the DamsalS.

Damsels who have the intention of
making themselves conspicuous through
grief should never fail TO study the be-
comingness of their toilette. nice
looking girl in a black jersey and black
skirt, neat little linen collar, trim
boots and ample tan-coored gloves,
falling on the wrists in folds, may weep
little behind her huttering handker-
chief and be the more attractive, espec-
tally when her hair and hat are becom-
ingly arranged. Fine ladyism, in the
incipency Of VOYAGES, decided that good
taste demanded entire ,cclusion from
the damaging contact CT mixed society
during the days to be passed at sea.
But whatever pretenSions may be made
to the contrary. excusiveness is apt to
be something Of a bore to Americans Of
both sexes. Men never attempt it. and
women on whom the motto OF nobleSse
oblige has been carefully impressed,
oftentimes look with longing ewes from
behind their narrow prison bars at the
Kaleidoscope view of the world beyond,
and inwardly decide that the play is not
worth the candle specially as there is
no one present to admire and applaud.

She sailed from Phil adelphia August 27, and experienced good weather until the afternoon
 of Wednesday, August 29, when sin latitude
 A, longitude 66, the wind commenced to
 blow from the southeast and soen increased
 to hurricane. Great waves dashed against
 the vessel and shortly were breaking over her
 side and into the rigging. The after end of
 the cabin was torn away and the water flood
 cd it. Everything movable on deck was washed over and the bnIwarks carried away. One large water tank stationed over the cab in, and bound down by two heavy iron bars. was torn away, the wind snapping the iron bars like sticks'and placing the tank between the fore and mizzen masts. Oaptain Doughty says the water poured so high over the decks that he did not know whether he was on his vessel or overheard.
 Men had to cling to the rigging for SUD- port. Robert Simons the mate, and JohnS. Gr1niez, Norwegian, were working at the pumps when large wave swept the Nor wegian overheard. No cry of any kind was heard, and his shipmates were powerless to save him. The mate had his hand smashed and is still unable to use it. Willis Wolfsean met with similar accident, and Hans Wilson had his foot crushed so badly that he has been unable to come on deck$inee, but his wounds are rapidly curing. The vessel lost her flying jib, mainsail, topsail and foresail and had all her boats broken. They also ran short of water. Captain Doughty says he has been captain for nine years and in all his travels never experienced such weather as on Wednesday week. The vessel will be repaired here and sail for her destination.

 PARIS, Sept. 9.-There is not the slightest foundation for ,optimist views as to the re- suit of the negotiations between the Marquis Tseng and M. Challemel-LA The Mar quis Tseng has not yet received the counter proposal from the French government in re- ply to the Chinese proposals submitted on Thursday. Marquis Tseng left here for Lon don today, but his departure has no political significance whatever. A temporary inter- ruption of the telegraph lines between Paris and Pekin tends to prolong the delay, but up to the present moment not basis or princi- pie upon which China will consent to con- clude treaty or an amicable arrange ment has been even suggested by France. Your correspondent is also assured that China either has already or is about to inti- mate to the United States government that her services as arbitrator between France and China would be very faVorably received in Pekin.
 It is believed that if France sends any con- siderable endorsements to Anam, China will at once officially declare war and then demand that England fulfill her duty as a neutral by closing her ooaling stations to French transports. This would involve the French transports carrying coal enough to take them through to Saigon or else the shipping of coal to the French Red Sea sta ton at Obok, which in any event, the Chi nese believe, would cause sufficient delay to enable the French forces at Hanoi to be over whelmed.
