matched order transactions. Whenever
the market is left to itself prices take an
upward turn. There is complaint among
commission brokers that any attempt to
fill an order for the purchase of stocks re-
suits in an immediate advance in prices.
An order to buy even 500 shares has an
undue effect upon the market. This illus
trates its nervous condition. The bulls
say that stocks are so closely held that
there is no safety for the bears, and with
the small volume of business it is an easy
matter for any recognized operator to cut
prices upon much higher plan. They
don't explain why some leader does not
put prices up.
Herman says: The stock market now is
puzzle even to those who in Or
binary times profess to under
stand it. There is no buy
ing whatever. Ne big men are
apparently interested in it, and many of
the most active members of the exchange
are away for the summer, Disguised. The
business that is done is managed by room
traders and scalpers on eighths and quar-
tiers. There is no one courageous or auda-
cious enough to predict which way the
market is going to jump. Nor are the big
men giving away points. The only piece
of news was that the Wabash officials as
serted that scalpers in Chicago were selling
Chicago & Alton and Illinois Central tick
cts between Chicago and st. Louis for
$3.50 below regular rates, and claim that
the scalpers are given facilities for obtain
ing tickets at or about Sc. The Wabash
has put on its war paint, and declares that
its rate will hereafter be $3.50 either way.
In case the other roads follow suit, a small
war of rates may start in to break the
monotony of things"

these failures were severe shock to pub

Taken From Life.

Tomorrow evening the Jay Rial combi
nation will open weeks engagement at
the Opera house, in the beautiful and rea
listic melodrama "Taken From Life" II
speaking OF this drama, recent issus
of the Indianapolis Sentinel has the fol
lowing:
A more decided success we have moi
witnessed for manga day, and both the
play and players deserved every sign OF
appreciation they received. ''Taken from
Life'' is more legitimate piece of melo
dramatic work than either 'The World" Oh
YOUTH" indeed, in dizziness of construc
ton and variety and vigor of character
and in the possession of that sustained in
terest which carries away our feelings and
emotions, and hurries US along with g
hungering and burning, it has but few
equals. 1t is, in fact, one of the very best
acting plays we have ever seen, and just
why the alleged astute critics of the New
York press should fail to see its beauties
we can not understand.

1NGRATITUDE-lt is an old saving that
if you do a man nineteen favors, and for
any reason decline to do the twentieth, he
will forget the nineteen requests that you
have granted, ana only remember the one
ibat you have refused-and for that refusal
he will hate you for ever after.
This is true of somemen ii istrue ofmean

is as natural for noble soul to cherish a
lively recollection of kindnesses received
as it is to breathe. And while we are
often shocked TO see acts of friendship
toward others, which have cost us q good
deal of time and Of labor, entirely over
looked and forgotten, we not unfrequently,
on the other hand, are surprised by the
grateful reclprocation of some favor long
since rendered, and the very performance
of which had passed from our own recol-
lections, until reminded of it by the recip.
lent.
We have always regarded gratitude as
feeling which Is hardly susceptible of being

tudc, to whomsoever addressed, instead of
awakening that emotion, is very apt to

ate the good nature of others it can never

AGAIN OVER ALAMo.-A dispatch from
San Antonio says that the fllo Of Texas is
living over Fort Alamo, the property OF
which it forms a part having been annex
| ed to the state Of the Catholic bishop after
purchase. Alamo is known as the Their
mopyl@ of America, from the heroic
lefence of the fort made in 1886 by
small body of Texans against force of
Mexicans fully thirty times their number.
Fort Alamo was an oblong structure of
,bout an acre in extent, on the left hank
of the San Antonia River, near the towp
of San Antonio. The fortlications of San
Antonio had been recently dismantled by
Houston when February %, 1866 the
Mexcans under Santa Anna beleagured
the Alamo into which Travis withdrew
with l30 Texans, while the Mexicans,
1000 strong, occupied the town and bonn
barded the fortress from batteries on both
sides of the river. Not one man was hurt
by the shclling. however, and the garrison

Sixty years ago, Peter Cooper kept a

two thousand dollars"
Upon inquiry, Peter Cooper found that
all the best glue came from Russia and
brought high price, while the glue made
in New York was very poor stuff. and was
sold at n rate that forbade all chance of
profit. He said to himself.

DRIED CoRN.-Dried corn ought to be
made palatable, and be frequently seen on
the dinner table. but many people who
like corn dislike this stuff because it is not
cooked properly; it should always be put
to soak in lukewarm water the afternoon
of the day before it is to be eaten. Do
not throw away the water in which il i.
soaked, or then you lose much of the best
there is in the corn. Then early, Mt least
two hours before dinner. put in sauce

but steadily until it is tender. A little
cream added to the milk, butter, pepper
and salt arc desirable, and teaspoonful
of sugar will sometimes do wonders in

The people Of Northwestern Texas are

prairie dogs that are eating up all the
grass. We have not given the subj ect
very thorough consideration, but it seems
probable that if such cereals as cabbage,
lettuce, green peas, ETC., were planted in
sufficient quantities in the vicinity of the

to fill up, like Nebuchadnezzar, on grass,
and would devote all their time to slowing
away the more succulent garden truck
