more forcibly illustrate the truth of this than
the quick recovery of the stock market on
Saturday from tho effects of the depressing
bank statement. With the adjournment of
congress will come tho relief of the business
interests of the country from the dread Of
hostile or ignorant legislation, and conse-
quent healthy movement Of trade under nor

The adjournment being so near at hand il
seems almost work of supererogation to
speculate as TO the chances for action on rev.

public's eye it will be fully informed as to
what has been inflicted upon it by, OF what it
has escaped at, the hands of congress.
Quite q number of events favorable to GER

Among these may be cited the decision Of
Judge Ingraham with regard to tho Western
Union. The discharge of the Reading re-
ceivers was another, and the Pennsylvania
statement Of its sJappary earnings was well
received. Gov. Cleveland's veto of the Ele-

An Old Story i'm It's Original Form.

Circassian legend is that man was walk
ing along one road, and woman along
another. The roads finally united, and the
man and woman, reaching the junction at the
same time, marched ON from there together
The man was carrying n largo iron kettle on
his back in one hand he held by tho legs n
live chicken, IN the other a cane, and he was
leading goat, Just rs they were coming to
n deep, dark ravine the woman said to the
man:
~ am afraid to go through that ravine with
you il is q lonely place and you might over
power me and kiss mo by force"
If you were afraid Of that said the man
"you shouldn't have talked with mo at all.
How can l possibly overpower and kiss You
by force when have this great iron kettle ON
my back, and cane in one hand, and live
chicken in the other, aud am leading this
goatW 1 might as well be tied hand and
foot"
YES" replied tho woman; "but If YOU
should stick your cane into the ground and
tic the goat TO it, and turn the kettle bottom
side up and put the chicken under it, then
you might wickedly kiss me in spite Of my
resistance"
Success to thy ingenuity, oh, woman !"
said the rejoicing man to himself 81 should
never have thought of this expedient.
And when he came to the ravine he'stuck
his cane into the ground and tied the goat TO
il, gave tho chicken to the woman, saving.
" Hold it while / cut some grass for the goat,b
and then, lowering the kettle from his
shoulders, imprisoned the fowls under it, and
wickedly kissed the woman, as she was afraid
he would Circdssidn Legends.

main buying of Northern Pacific and
Transcontinental came from Boston, where it
is said syndicate has taken o large block
of Northern Pacific land and are to pay in
preferred stock at par. 1t was said the Bos
ton brokers had made most of the purchases
through Work, Strong & Co. Delaware and
Lackawanna was active at well-sustained
prices. Up to 2 p. IN. the aggre-
gate dealings was lighter than any day
this week. Tho bank statement was
q very bad one, showing loss of three
and a half millions, and this dampened specu-
lation. 1t was, however, partly anticipated,
and caused less surprise than might have been
expected. 1t was claimed that money had
been Withdrawn here and shipped to Boston

ing, and Keene's brokers also purchased
largely.

Emburgh bought Texas Pacific.

used until the Bozeman tunnel is completed
in tho fall. Only 300 miles remain to be con-
structed, all of which is in Montana. Grading

pleted. 1t is believed the two ends will be

ate on news from Washington. Sterling is

A WARNING LAMP.-A lamp to warn
the watchman on duty that a house has
been forcibly entered has been invented by
Mr.. Diggins. 1t can be placed outside the
premises, within view of the policeman on
his beat, and when the house is safe it
shows a white bull's-eye; but when door
or window has been opened by night red
shade falls in front of the flame and shows
a red bull's-eye. The lamp is very simple
in construction. An electro. magnet, by
the attraction of it's srmature when the
current passes, releases detent, allowing
a screen of red glass to fall down in front
OF the flame, thereby producing the red
light. The current can be sent by the
opening of door, window, safe or show
case, or by treading on stair, and in other
ways if necessary. This is done by an
electric contact, which is arranged to close
under any Of these operations, and thus
complete the circuit of a veltaic battery
through the electro. magnet in the lamp.
The lamp can also be used within a house
TO warn the inmates, and an electric bell
can be rung by the current. Moreover, in
case of fire the red light and bell can be
operated by the mercury column of ther-
mometer, rising and closing the circuit
