The money market rules quiet, with
capital abundant, and no employment
for large volume of the same, as is
evidenced by the liberal deposits in
the various repositories throughout
the country. The rate Of discount
here on prime commercial paper is 6
per cent, and borrowers with suitable

their wants supplied at the same fig

Exchange in this market is quiet

New England vvoOIlen wins.

In order to ascertain the extent Of
the depression in the New England
woollen industry the Boston Advertiser
sent circulars of inquiry to the 800
mills in thoseStates and has published
the results of the replies received
from $50. The number of woollen
mills in New England reported by the
census Of 1880 was 400, and the
number of sets of cards was 2l22.
According TO the Advertisers res
turns, the number of sets of cards
now shut down is 759, or more than
a third of the whole. The estimated
daily consumption of each set Of cards
is 300 pounds OF wool. This would
show reduction in the total con.
sumption Of 10000 pounds a day, or
about 100000 pounds month. The
actual reduction is doubtless greater
than this, for the reason that the re.
turns made do not include all of the
stopped mills. The number Of sets Of
cards shut down in each New England
State, and the total number in each as
returned by the census of 1880 are as

for them, and he could find no promise
OF relief in the colleges of the land. A
statement showing what the members
OF the Senior Glass at Yale, soon to be

DR.. JohnsOn's assertion Out of 149

The Suit which a Diver Wears,

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Diving bells are gone completely out
Of date. They only enable the works
man to work within the limits of the
bell: whereas, as the suits are now
made, one can 60 all around and over
a wreck, These suits consist, first, of
a copper shell, about three sixteenths
of an inch in thickness, made in as
nearly globular form as possible. This
is provided with dead-eyes, or glasses,
to enable the diver to see, and fits into
the shoulders by means Of yoke. The
shell has strong ring bolt in the TOP
and below, which has securely fasten
ed to it rubber suit, including shirt,
pants and stockings. The sleeves Of
the jacket are gathered around the
wrists and firmly tied. Coarse leath-
er shoes are worn, ON the soles of which
are fastened huge plates OF lead, while
series Of pockets in the jacket are
arranged also to hold leaden weights.
The shoes weigh eighteen or twenty
pounds. Sometimes | carried as much
as l28 pounds of lead about me, and
when in the water SO great is the
buoyancy that you do not feel this
weight. The air should escape as soon
as it is pumped into the shell, though
some divers shut it off, and if the suit
becomes full then they shoot to the
top like shot from cannon, and are
in danger Of striking the barge, crack
ing the shell, in which case death
would ensue at once. | saw diver
who had formerly been connected with
the British navy try this to his peril. |
noticed him coming up one day few
feet from the barge, and his body shot
up 3 feet out Of the water. | said: my
friend, that's dangerous" He made
some insOlent reply, and wanted to
know what knew about diving.
answered that | knew that some day
he would come up once too often in
that kind of manner, and walked
off. 1t was not ten days before my
foolish remark proved true, for he
came up against the barge and split
open his skull and sank to rise nc
more. Staying under water reduces
the temperature, and sometimes con
gestion ensues. The nose begins to
bleed. and sometimes the ears; next
consciousness is lost. The pressure
of air on the lungs is about fifteen
pounds to the square inch, and the
deeper you 60 the greater the pressure
becomes. So that the great weights
are needed to counterfeit this pres.
sure.

Philadelphia Record.


A popular French cook of this city,
who knows something about sparrows,
says the new law of determination
should be hailed with delight by all
good livers. The sparrow, he says, is
not only good to eat, but is really q
great delicacy, and in France nothing
enjoys greater popularity among gourv
mands than the sparrow when prop
erly prepared in pot pie or fricassee OF
on toast. 1t is a secret of the Ameri
can kitchen that young sparrows have
not infrequently done good service in
the seasons when the tender and sue.
culent reed bird has been less plenti.
full than usual. All this, to the French
cooks idea, is worth considering when
the slaughter of the little birds really
commences, If it ever does, and he
thinks that if the little pests must &C
they may as well be put into the
broiling pans of the kitchen as to be
thrown away.

Special to Courier. Journal.

Special to Courier-J Journal.
New YORK, June 25.-Mr. Jay
Gould and his friends came down
from lrvington this morning on board
his new steam yacht Atalanta. The
trip was made for pleasure rather than
as test OF speed, and the yacht will
be used in the same way until its
owner is ready to take his departure
for Europe The yacht flies the sig
nal OF the American Yacht Club, and
also Mr.. Gould's private signal.
Among the guests OF Mr.. Gould on
the vessel were Vice President A. s.
Hopkins, of the Wabash railroad and
the Messrs. Cramp, who are the
builders of the yacht. Messrs.
Gould and Hopkins landed in the
vicinity of Twenty fourth street,where
the versel attracted great attention,
in consequence of the beauty of her
model. The ATLANTA then proceeded
to Bay Ridge, as she is not yet consid-
cred ready for inspection by her owner,
and the publicity Of the up town pier
would have rendered it difficult to
have kept curiosity seekers from board
ing her. During the trip down the
Hudson those aboard expressed them
selves as highly satisfied with her
performance. A large party of gen.
tlemen, learning the yacht was at Bay
Ridge, proceeded down the bay on the
steamers to get a view of the nrettv
vessel. They were not allowed to
board her, but had the opportunity Of
looking at her beautiful proportions as
she lay at anchor. 1t is not yet known
when Mr.. Gould will permit general
Inspection of the vessel. In fact, he
expresses preference for something
OF more quiet nature and repug,
nance for public display in the mat.
