LSW Stocks.

Why stock values should take the par
ticularly hard tumbles they axe now
experiencing, after the steady fall they
have endured for the past year or two,
is not very clear. 1t shows, however,
that the public are not inclined at pre-
sent to this sort of speculation. 1t has
been for long time so Improbable that
capital has been drawn away from it as
an unattractive field for its use. There
is nothing in the condition Of the country
to cause the opinion that its industries
will cease for any long period to be
profitable. The business Of seeking a pro-
tit without industry, by false pretenct s,
has for the present received quietus.
The projectors of railroad enterprise,
who proposed to build with other peo-
ple's money what the country did not
need, that they might reap profit from
the project, are not now possessed
of the idea that they possess an Aladdin
lamp. Mr.. Vanderbilt, who has the cash
already gathered, is industriously ex-
pending it in vast railroad enterprises in
this state which will pay some day and
which he can safely undertake to the
extent that he has the money on hand to
nav for them. But neither he nor any
other fellow can hope to be lavishly sup
piled with funds by once cOnfiding
public, which conlides no longer "wOrth
a cent" The future has been discounted
as much as it can be for few years.
Stock values will probably continue To
fall to a point even below their real
value. in the existing distrust that they
have any value at all. Some of these
days they will go up again higher than
ever. In the future they may be worth
all that anyone has ever paid for
them. But the future is not the
present; and to the sanguine man
who has lost all his money in antici
pating future values it will be little
comfort to find out, if he lives long
enough, that he was right in his hope
fulness, and only wrong in stalking his
money on it. The public generally, who
have been specializing in, stocks got this
experience some time ago, and now il
is being chiefly enjoyed by the men who
gave it to them. The lambs having
been slaughtered, the wolves are now
suffering hunger and it looks as
though there would be plenty of them
starved to death ON Wall street before
another crop of lambs is ready to b'
eaten by them.

Tho State Fair I'ostponed.

The announcement has been made by
the officers of the state agricultural society
at Harrisburg that no state fair will be
held this year at Philadelphia as intended.
It was thought that when the land of Mr..
Whightman, in Philadelphia, was leased
this spring. that there would be ample
time in which to erect buildings that
would prove substantial enough to not
only last through the ten years lease, but
even after that. 1t is proposed to put up
iron buildings, but it will be impossible to
complete them in time for this year, and
10 it has been agreed upon to postpone the
exhibition until 1884, when the new
grounds will be fenced in and the new
buildings completed.

A FOOlhardy Swimmer at Salamanca, N.
DetormlD0d to Go Through tho Rapids

A Foolhardy swimmer ss Salamanca. N. y,
Determined to Go Through tho Rapids.
The whirlpool rapids of Niagara have
been visited by Captain J. D. Rhodes, a
noted swimmer and diver of Salamanca,
who will attempt, in a suit of his own
making, to 60 through the rapids where
Captain Webb perished. The day after
the last tragedy Rhodes informed his wife
and few friends that be had determined
to Prove himself a better swimmer
than Webb, and to swim the whirlpool
after exactly the same plans followed by
Webb. For two weeks he has been at
work preparing an armOr to protect him
self from the conclusions of the opposing
currents. The armor is made of pieces of
cork one and half inches long and
seven. eighths wide. The body part
reaches from the armpits to the leg above
the knee. A cape secured to belt above
the waist by twelve rubber straps fastens
around the neck and, reaching to the
hands, covers the arms and shoulders
from the thigh to the neck. The arn,or is
air tight and very strong.
Rhodes asserts that besides giving
buoyancy of seventy-two pounds in she
water, the armor will protect him from
sudden shocks among the big waves
Captain Rhodes was born in Monroe,
Mich. forty. one years ago. He served
three years III the late war, and for fifteen
years has been leader of theatrical bands
La september, 1877, he dove into Niagara
river from the bridge below the falls four
tunes. In October, 1877, he dove dove
eighty six feet at Portage falls. In
August, 1876, he leaped from the light.
house at Ashtaula in storm. He claims
that Captain Webb was choked by the
water and then pounded to death by the
waves.
