To-day s stock market reflects nothing more than
the daily operations of professional traders. The
total transactions amounted only to 10 400 shares.
We do not remember day before when there was
not one share of Central of New-Jersey bought or
sold, but such was the fact to-day and its quota
ton all day was S34QS39i against sales
last evening at S3ai. Taking the mar
ket all in all, it was extremely dull even the
operations IN Delaware, Lackawanna aud
Western make q record for the day of only
Al, AIS shares, against 100000 shares yesterday.
Generally, the closing figures do not show chan ges
from last evenings final prices of more than ls0ss
per cent, and majority of the changes are declines;
but Wabash preferred, which lately has been the
best pointed" stock for large advance, shows
decline of q per cent. The market closed weak and
dull, with two holidays intervening before another
business day, as the board adjourned to 10 o'co ok
Tuesday morning.
Government bonds were quiet and steady at
unchanged quotations as follows:

1t may be of interest to readers to learn that the
Henry & BOnnard Bronze Manufacturing Company,
which has Just completed the Washington statue
for Wall-st. was established in New-York City in
February last, with capital of 5000, 000 divided
into 100000 shares The success of this new in
dustry is illustrated by the fact that the company
has paid, in August last, an earned semi-annual
dividend of per cent and the numerous orders it
has booked in advance, from foreign countries as
well as from American establishments prove ii TO
be both an international and industrial success. 1t
is understood that the directors of the company
template enaTgng their manufacturing facilities
in order to meet the constant increase of orders they
receive from all quarters, and will put in the mar
ket portion of the shares il held reserve, in
tihcates of five shares each and upward. In these
times of cheap money, and considering the great
scarcity of profitable investments for idle capital,
there is little doubt that if the directors finally de-
eide to put some of the stock in the market il will
be promptly taken up.

The Missing Link.

There is now being exhibited at the
Royal aquarium in London a strange
hairy little creature named Krao.
Krao is described as a very bright
looking, intelligent girl of about seven
years of age. She was caught, accord
ing to the account given of her, in the
forest near Laos. and brought to Eng
land by Mr.. Carl Book, a Norwegian,
who, since the expedition described by
him in "The Head Hunters of Borneo,"
has been exploring Siam and the wilder
States to the northeast. Hearing in
various quarters of the existence of a
race of hairy-tailed men, similar in APP
pearance to a family kept at the court
of Mandalay, he offered reward for
the capture m a specimen. A
man was caught, and with him the
child now exhibited, and woman
of similar appearance then allowed her
self to be taken. When the little one
attempted to wander the parents called
her back with plaintive cry, "Kra-o,"
and the call has been adopted as her
name. The eyes of the child are large,
dark and lustrous; the nose is fattened,
the nostrils scarcely showing; the
cheeks are fiat and pouch-like. the lower
lip only rather thicker than is usual in
Europeans; but the chief peculiarity is
the strong and abundant hair. On the
head it is black, thick and straight, and
grows over the forehead down to the
heavy eyebrows, and is continued in
whisker-like locks down the cheeks.
The rest Of the face is covered with a
fine, dark, downy hair, and the shoul-
ders and arms have a covering of hairs
from an inch to an inch and half long.
There is, it is said, slight lengthening
of the lower vertebre, suggestive of a
caudal protuberance, and there are
points in the muscular conformation
and otherwise which will provoke dis
cussion. KraO has already picked up a
few words of English. She is said to
be of frank, atfectionate disposition,
and shows truly feminine delight in her
clothes, jewelry and ribbons. The
Snowman exhibits her as "the missing
link. ."-NeoO York Herald.

BOWing,

The bow, that "touchstone of good
breeding" says French writer, has
undergone strange mutation since the
obsequious days of the Georges. Now
the body must not be bent, only the
head inclined, cordially or otherwise,
according to circumstances; genuhec-
tions are relegated to dancing and pos
ture masters, whose palmy days are
now record of the past. In the time
of the Merrie Monarch the plumed and
jeweled hat was doffed with sweep
ing grace to the very ground, and there
held till the lady so saluted had passed
or retired. Now the hat is simply
raised in recognition of fair ac-
quaintance, who must give the initia-
tive by slight inclination of the head,
and we are informed by an aristocratic
authority on matters of etiquette that
"a gentleman returning the bow
of lady with whom he is but
slightly acquainted would do so
with deferential air." but if
there were an intimacy he would
raise his hat with greater freedom of
action, "and considerably higher" In
France it is the gentleman who bows
first, and there, too, the bow is the
signal of recognition between members
of the sterner sex; in England a nod
suflices. The two most polite-in the
old-fashioned sense of the word-of our
kings, Charles II and George W, took
off their hats to the meanest of their
subjects.
A lady's obeisance to royalty fifty
years ago was an acrobatic feat. The
knees were bent and the body slowly
brought forward in graceful and
reverent guise, the equilibrium being
recovered hy a backward movement
very difficult to perform with ease.
But our monarchy wakes old, and re-
publican manners, assertive of indie
pendence, make high-fown courtesy
ridiculous; now courtesy to royalty
is merely a deep dip, a sudden collapse
as if ON springs, and as sudden reat-
tainment of the perpendicular.-Ail

Ole Bulls InrantIlo Love for Music.

In memoir of the late Ole Bull,
the famous Norwegian violinist, writ
ten by his widow, an interesting ac-
count of his early love for music is
given. His uncle, Jens, played the
violoncello well and had collection of
instruments. He loved TO amuse him
self with little Ole's extreme suscep-
tibilty to music. When he was three
years old Jens often put him in the
violoncello case and hired him with
swcetmeats to stay there while he
played. But the candy could not keep
him quiet long. The eyes kindled and
the little feet began to beat time. At
last his nervous excitement prevented
his staying longer in the case. The
music was dancing all through him
and he must give it utterance.
Running home he would seize the
yardstick and with another small stick
for a bow endeavor to initiate what
his uncle had played. He heard it
with his inward ear; but for fear his
parents were not so pervaded with the
tune as he was he would explain as
he went along, telling how beautifully
the bass came in at such and such a
place. Seeing the child play this rus
tic and soundless fiddle. his uncle
bought him when he was five years
old violin Gas yellow as a lemon.
He used to tell. later, how he felt car
ried up to the third heaven when
his own little hand first brought
out a tune from that yellow violin.
He loved it and kissed it; it
seemed to him so beautiful. To the
surprise of the family he played well
on it from the first, though he had re-
ceived no instruction. He would
stand by his mothers knee while she
turned the screws, which would not
yield to his little hand; but the tuning
was not easily accomplished, since his
ear made him very critical, even at
that age. His uncle taught him his
notes at the same time that he was
learning his primer. His fondness for
the violin sometimes led him to miss
his lessons at school, for which beauti-
full trait of nature he got floggings at
school and at home, Genius must
shine in spite of commonplace opposi-
tion, if it would shine at all.

A College Without a Student.

Williamsburg, once the seat of the
learning, wealth, fashion and social pO-
sition of Virginia, seems to be fast
going to decay. The college has en-
tirely gone down. Last year there was
only one student-this year none. The
president has a splendid residence just
out of town and the buildings are

Murray Hill.

Joaquin Miller writes in the rhlla-

of New York's noted spots Murray
Hill, as you know, named after one Of
the lucky ones who held on to his cab
bage patch till the spreading, growing
town reached and absorbed it, is not
really a hill, only little swell in the
land. But it is the highest point on
island Of Manhattan that is yet sub
dued to streets and brown-stone fronts.
And yet, low as it is, it is height that
hundred of thousands Of brave hearts
have been broken to reach and hold.
How few, indeed, hold their place
here for any length Of time, even after
years of toiling, stealing and strug-
Cling to reach it.

Agood, kindlyman he was, too; and his
family of pretty children, born and
brought up since the first flow of oil
on which he loated into power and
prominence, l found to be cultured, re-
fined and altogether lovely. But you
seek for their family in vain on Muir
ray Hill now. Some Drawer or more

carried it sword in hand, and the great

friends knows them no more

Hill he answers not to his name

No one stops to inquire. He is missing
