After some further depression in the early deal
ngs at the Stock Exchange tins morning, the spec
uatlve pony engine was reversed The decline
was checked, prices began TO rise. and before the
day was over figures were set back to where they
started from yesterday mornings: in q
few instances to figures that are fractions
higher. There, however. no significance
IN it ALL Those operators who yesterday set the
example to sell to-day led the buying, and the fol-
lowing in one case was the same in the other Be-
sides. this morning the market was fastdriyng to-
ward q point where it might have proved
difficult task to check tho decline. Hence,
perhaps. it was the part of wisdom to
stop il where it was. One feature, although not an
unusual one perhaps, is worthy of mention the
sellers ut the lowest prices of the merning tn
buyers at the highest figures OF tho afternoon.
Rumors were plenty and all of favorable charac-
ter-but they will prove to be little more
than rumors. As was the case with last

earnings on the increased mileage of % miles as no
obstacle to an advance when they catch tho short

made the market was dull and in the last hour
prices yielded some and seemed disposed TO yield
more. But in the last five mnuteso business there
was q concentrated movement all over the market
and in that short period prices advanced per

Animal Intelligence.

At the north side of Dublin there
is at Clontarf a sea inlet where the
water at several times of tide is very
shallow A little stream flows under
the road into the sea at this place,
The bridge beneath which it passes
has pretty high parapets a huge
dog. frequent companion during my
student days, used TO mount one of
the parapets, employing it as a look
out when he happened for the mo-
ment to lose sight of me. Mrs Come
ford, widow of a distinguished barris-
ter, was my landlady This dog,
aided by an accomplish named Bran,
slew Mr.. Comeford's red cat, a great
favorite, and buried him, all but the
point of his tail, in the garden. The
accomplices demeaned themselves IN
the most innocent manner, but
betrayed considerable confusion when
their delinquency was detected. it
did not seem to occur TO their canine
minds that the mere tip of the poor
CATS tail, when the body itself was
out of sight, could possibly incrimin-
ate them. But to return to Clontarf.
1t was the practice among the lads
about when the depth of water suited,
to wade out and catch little hat-iish.
These abound in great numbers, and
lie commonly on the sea bed The
waders went in bare-legged, and when
they happened to tread upon fish,
kept the foot in position until they
could stoop down and secure their
prey. One of the fsherboys was one
day attended by his dog, and when
the intelligent creature saw the work
in which his master was engaged pro-
ceeded to help MIN by plunging
about, and whenever he felt a fish
kept his paw upon it until his master
should come up and place it in his
creel This curious method of catch
ing hat-fish is not confined TO Clon-

Sorghum Sugar.

The experiments in the manufac
tues of sugar from sorghum have been
closed by exhaustion of the appropri-
alton. During the season there have
been produced II ,000 pounds Of sugar
and 800 gallons of syrup from 232
tons Of sorghum cane. The expendit
ures were $1,000, making the cost Of
the sugar 81 per pound. This the eX-
perimenters claim is great advance,
as the cost per pound three years ago
was $40. while last year 1t was 50. A
considerable part of the money used
was expended for the experimental
machinery. Among the apparatus
used was a crusher sent for trial by
BENJAMIN Butterworth. commissioner

bears a strong resemblance to the pad

SERGEANT MASON, now basking in

is doubly happy, delighted that he

having shot at Guiteau, his only sor-
row being that he missed his mark.
And it must be admitted that, had he
been as good at the trigger as Guiteau
himself was, the petition for his par
don, instead of having been signed by

least another cipher added to it.

Man Against Horse.

Auburn W, l - llbpdlCn,
Mervine Thompson, the champion
Canadian wrestler, gave an outdoor
exhibition of his great strength near
the Central Hudson freight-house last
evening between the hours Of and
o'clock. The Sunday Dispatch stated
that he would pull against any team
of horses in the city or county, and
would give 500 to the owner of the
team if the horses succeeded in pull
ing him from ladder. Yesterday
the Canadian athlete made arrange
ments with Mr. B. K. Webster The
latter is engaged in the work and ex
press business, and is the owner of
several large and strong teams. Five
o'clock was the hour appointed, and
the yard in front of the above men
toned freight-house was the place
agreed upon by the interested parties
When the hour arrived quite large
crowd were in attendance, many of
them expected to see the man pulled
in twain when he attempted to resist
the strength of two of Mr.. Webster's
large horses.
Within a few minutes Thompson
made his appearance, and quickly
removed his coat, vest, and hat. A
harness greatly resembling a pair of
shoulder-braces, only a great deal
stronger, was thrown over his should
ers and around his waist, with two
large straps left dangling from the
small of his back. Then lying face
downward upon the ladder, fixed in a
horizontal position, securely lashed
to a telegraph-pole, he grasped a round
of the ladder with both hands and
placed his feet firmly against another
flat round at the foot of the ladder.
A team was hitched to these straps,
and thsn commenced the tug of war.
The large pair Of horses started,
strained, and tugged But in vain,
After making three or four futiles at
tempts, this team was removed and
heavy pair of sor~els attached TO the
man They, like their predecessors,
could make no impression, and the
man OF muscle did not exhibit the
faintest sign of weakening. Finally
one of the employees Of Mr. Webster
took the animals by their he ad, and
they again exerted their well-trained
muscle This time the large evener
to which the whifiletrees We're attach
ed snapped In swain like a pipe-stem.
This settled the contest The crowd
in attendance were well satisfied that
the boast Of the stranger had been
made good, and cheered him hearth
