A Scene.

A Chronicles New York special
concerning the Northern Pacific
boom, says: "The floor of the
Stock Exchange was densely
packed and the excitement was
intense. Both the small galleries
were completely filed with eager
spectators, few of whom could
comprehend the wild demonstra-
ton below. The brokers were
seen crowded up in front of the
chairman's desk, moving their
arms in the air, while husky, SEEM
ingly unintelligible sounds issued
from their mouths. The chairman
helped along the strife by continu-
ally pounding with his hard wood
en- gavel. Perpetual streams of
humanity kept moving in and out
of the door, and although the
crowd inside was closely packed,
each individuals movement was
apparently accomplished with diff
fculty. The price of Northern
Pacific preferred advanced for cash
delivery, and brokers began to ask
each other in a dazed sort of way
what it meant, and there was no
larking on the floor of the Ex-
change. Each man was in sober
earnest, and there were
many who made con-
servative observations on the
situation and who shook their
heads thoughtlully and expressed
fears that the "boom" would be
disastrous. The lowest price paid
for Northern Pacific preferred for
cash deliveries during the day was
Gl, the highest price was 7S!,
and the closing price was 754.
The same stock sold for regular
delivery as low as 81 and as high
as 81, and closed at 728. Just be-
fore the close of the market COM
mon stock Of the Northern Pacific
had a small sized boom, and its
price for regular delivery advanc-
ed from 255 to 2Gi, and for cash
delivery from PSI to 27@. The
close of the market left the street
in a state of feverish anxiety.
Some brokers feared there would
be a corner in preferred stocks
that would bring serious disaster.
The matter was discussed with in
terest in the up town hotels and
restaurants last evening. Mr..
Wizards friends were disposed
to be jubilant over what
they regarded as his coup
d etat. They said that the
bears who had been selling
Northern Pacific preferred short,
deserved TO be squeeze d, and that
they would be squeezed still more.
As Mr.. Willard walked through
Exchange place towards his Office
in the Mills building, he was sur
rounded and congratulated by his
acquaintances. He is reported to
have said to one of his friends that
Northern Pacific would be worth
/ per cent. more before evening on
Monday. 1t was stated that a very
strong party has been formed to
advance Oregon Transcontinental
next week. The statement was
that enough Northern Pacific pre-
ferred had been secured to render
the second mortgage bonds a GER
tainty. On this the money would
be advanced to enable the COM
pany to repay its debt to the
Oregon Transcontinental, which in
turn would take up its .hypOthe-
Gated securities. \ committee
would be appointed to investigate
the condition of the company's
affairs and would make a report
which would re-establish conf
dence, and in the revulsion of feel
ing the stock would have an extra
ordinary rise.

OREGON TRANsCoNTINENTAL has
got on the other tack now and is
going up. The bears are badly
cinched, and are getting little of
the same they dealt out so freely
two weeks ago. On Monday the
Willard stocks all went up a peg,
o. & T. selling for 464.

himself up.

ask you about Mary. Did she have fits
Of temper when you lived with herP''
''Sir! I'll knock you downp'
''Bet you three to one you can't

all right. Did she complain of neural

"This is too much, sirn' roared Cruft.
''Gammon Don't get nervous and

the divorce Mary came to Chicago.
We met, loved and got married. That's
all there is to it, except we live here
now and she's over there buying fish.

as he rushed at him with extended
claws and sought to grasp his throat.
'What an old cabbage-head you
are - retorted the other, and picking
the old man up he tossed him over the
stand among the boxes and baskets and
walked off with the remark:
''All bosh for man to paw around
and kick up the dust in this way just
because I married his divorced wife.
Next time catch him he'll either come
up to dinner or III lick him like cats

He Got the Best Rooms.

l hear good story of two we'll
known Americans. They had been ac-
customed to visit Europe in May, and
had competed with each other for the
best berths on the Germanic or Bri-
tannic. A having been done by B two
years in succession, thought he would
be all right in 1884. Accordingly, in
March last he wrote engaging the Capt
aims room and three of the best state
rooms for the first voyage of the Ger
manic in May next year. Flushed with
the certainty of triumph, he incautious-
ly mentioned the circumstance to a
friend. Pleased with this stroke of real
smartness, the friend spread the story,
which came to the ears of B, who inn
mediately cabled to Liverpool to secure
for himself 1.-The. Captains room and
three best state-rooms on the German
les first voyage out from New York
in May, 1884. When in due course

already allotted. This is the simple

Though there is every probability
that California's big tree win maintain
its supremacy as the most massive col
umn in the worlds forests, it must
yield the palm of altitude to Australia's
eucalyptus. In the valley Of the Watts
River, in Victoria, many fallen
trees have been measured as they
lie on the ground and found
to exceed $50 feet in length. One
mighty giant had fallen so as to form
bridge across a deep ravine. It had
been broken in falling, but the portion
that remained intact measured 435
feet in length, and as its girth at the
point of fracture is nine feet, its dis
coverer estimates that the perfect tree
must have measured fully five hundred
feet. Its circumference five feet above
the roots is fifty-four feet. another
gum-tree on Mount Wellington was
found to be 102 feet in girth at three
feet from the ground. Its height could
not be estimated, owing to the density
of the forest, but It's next neighbor,
which was ninety feet in circumference,
was found to be three hundred feet in
height. In the Daudenong District of
Victoria an almond-leaf gum-tree
Eucalyptus amygdalina) has been
carefully measured, and is found to be
430 feet in height. 1t rises $50 feet be-
fore throwing out branch; its circum-
ference is sixty feet. Tasmania also
produces specimens of eucalyptus
which are $50 feet in height, and which
rise 200 feet ere forming q branch.
One near Hobart Town Is eighty-six
feet in girth, and, till ten years ago,
lowered to height of three hundred
feet, but is now a ruin. The question
of supremacy is, however, confined to
altitude, for the untidy-looking eucalyp-
tus, with its ragged and tattered gray
bark hanging about it in such sloVenly
fashion, can never contest the palm of
might or majesty with these stately
cedars whose magnificent golden-red
shafts tower on high like the tiuted mar.

From eyes unkind and cold.

The sight that met my eyes!
Sitting upon her mothers lap,
with baby face so wise,
Was wee child with sunny curls,
Blue eyes and dimpled chin,
And young, pure and loving heart
rUnstained as yet by sim
Upon the woman poor and sad
Her eyes IN wonder fell,
Till wonder changed to pitying love.
Her thoughts, oh, who could tell
Her tiny hands four roses held;
She looked them Ger and DER,
Thcn choosing out the largest one,
She struggled to the floor
Across the swaying car she went
Straight to the woman's side,
And putting in the wrinkled hand
The rose, she ran to hide
Her little face in mothers lap, -
Fearing she had done wrong,
Not knowing, baby as she was,
That she had helped along
The uphill road of life soul
Cast down, discouraged quite
As on the woman's face there broke
A food of joyous light.
Dear little child she was, indeed,
A messenger of love
Sent to that woman's lonely heart
From the great Heart above.

Whose hearts are sad so much of love
As went with baby's rose.
