The recorded transactions IN stocks ut the Stock
Exchange to-day are 800, 800 shares and in that
this amount is 10000 shares more than the business
of yesterday II reflects a more active market. The
figures will surprise the most careful observers of
the market, because at all times the dulness was
more oppressive than that Of yesterday. An analy-
sis Of the record, however, shows that the trans
actions Of 40 700 shares ST. Paul against 10 200
shares Yesterday, and of So 100 in Delaware Lacka
wanna and Western against $500 yesterday, more
than account for the total gain in to-day's
business. The opening was dull and weak; but
a special movement In St. Paul, which advanced
its price from l044 to 1051s "a large
business was reported at 1861, served
momentsrily TO check the general disposition
toward lower prices, and rally succeeded. The
movement in St. Paul Is best explained by the fact
that il closed the same az last evening-at 1O4bs
After the rally was over there followed dull and
slow decline, which continued 70 the end. Central

The Burmese women before they be-
come mothers are noted for their we'll
prOportiOned, though small, figures. To
one accustomed to seeing the regular fea-
lures so prevalent among the many pretty
Indian girls the Mongol-like features of
their Burmese sisters look ugly and re-
pellant, but after while this impression
wears off. The women of the country
have many pretty little ways, and they
are very cleanly. Their hands and feet
are small and well shaped, arms svmme-
trical, the head we'll put on to the neck:
their carriage is erect; they allow no hair

Funny Scene at "a Rehearsal

Mrs. Agnes Booth has net parrot
which accompanies her wherever she
goes, and with which she is on terms Of
the most cordial friendship and affection.
Sometimes she will take the parrot to re-
hearsal and it is put on the prompter's
table. The first time that the s'Russian
Honeymoon was rehearsed hrs. Booth
had brought the parrot to the theatre and
left it obscured in corner out of the wav.
When Mr.. BrytOn came to embrace Mrs.
Booth in the palt he heard somebody say:
''Stop that now"
He turned to the prompter and asked
Mr.. Masseen, the prompter, if anything
was wrong. and was answered in the mega
tive. He began the scene over again. and
was again told 20 ''StOp that nOW.o This
time he turned angrily and said the Joke
might be very funny, but he demanded to
be allowed to go on with his business. He
tried it third time, with the same re-
suit, and seeing the people about him lln-
able TO suppress their laughter, he would
have left the theatre if the cause had not
been explained to him. But the parrot
never could grow habItuated to seeing his
mistress fondled, and, in the scene where
the husband is about to beat the wife, the
parrot invariably set up a screaming
that used to neeessitate its removal to- the
dressing-room. Mrs. Booth adores her
parrot.

A FRANCo-GERMAN WAR.
All Europe Aroused by the Gazette's
Article.

All Europe Aroused by the Gazette :
Article,
LONDON, August 23.-The Times. COM
menting on the North German Gasette's
article referring to the attack Of the
French journals in Germany, and declar-
ing that France also threatens the peace
of Europe, says; "The irritation shown
by the latter paper cannot be explained
by the reason assigned, as the
French press upon the whole
has been very moderate in regard to Ger
many. The article is rather an express
sion of general impatience at the conduct
of the French, and ought to convince them
that their expeditions in various parts of
the world do not add in the smallest de-
gree to their influence in Europe.
The article of the North German Gazette
startled Paris, alarmed Europe and
caused prices on the Bourses of Paris, vi
emma and Berlin to fall. The press everv-
where express surprise at the GGzette'S
attack on France, and wonder as to what
its object is.
The French papers repel the charges
contained in the article, and intimate that
France is better prepared now to say that
Prince Bismarck is seeking preteXt for
quarrel or for the imposition of fresh
army burdens. The Austrian press ask
if the article means war.
The English journals think that the
warning was overdOne, and that the cause
for it was insufficient. 1t would not be
wise, they say, to attach too much signffi-
canoe to the article

The salmon and the FIv.


''Why does the salmon take dy ?'' is A
question which anglers are asking each
other in sporting newspapers; and, Curl
ously enough, the answer that meets with
most favor is Because it takes it for a
shrimp@ At first sight it seems as if the
etter-writers were p0king fun at the fish ::
for looking at the cases of salmon flies in
any tackle-maker's shop il might be
supposed that the noble creature mistook
the gorgeous artificial insect for some rare
delicacy just come from the tropics. But
to imagine that the fish mistook this re-
splendent thing of feathers and tinsel for
such familiar object as the common
gray shrimp would appear to argue very
poor opinion of the salmon's perceptions.
But then it has to be remembered that the
salmon always sees the shrimp from be-
low, and this makes all the difference.
some one writes to the Field that one day.
when on his back under water. he was
surprised to see flashing overhead a num-
Der OF brilliant golden sparks, which. when
he looked at them from above proved to
be shrimps. 1t makes all the difference,
In fact, whether you look at an object
with the bright sun behind it, or whether
you see it against a dull background OF
sand. A glass bottle, for instance, float
ing down stream ON a sunny day may
look from below like blazing meteor.

LITERARY CURIOSITY.

We were permitted to examine the
rarest curiosity in the way of a newspa-
per the other day that we have ever seen.
and one which must be seen to be proper-
ly appreciated. This newspaper in its
days was called the Prison Times. and
was published in that pen of death, Fort
Delaware, in the year 1865. The issue be-
fore US is dated April /, 1865, and CON
tanned the following table of contents:
Salutatories, miscellany, advertisements.
editorials, local affairs, the markets, Chris
tian Association directory, debating.
clubs directory, original poetry, barracks
directory, musical association, chess
clubs.
The entire work Of publishing tins pa
per was done with the pen-although it is
a sheet of four pages with three columns
to the page. 1t was published by Capt. J !.
w. Hibb, Thirteenth Virginia Infantry;
Capt. Geo. s. Thomas, SiXty-fourth Geor-
gia; Lieut.. A. Harris, Third Florida. Ad-
vertising rates were 80 cents per square.
The issue before us is the property Of Mr..
Charles w. kimberley, and was brought
from Fort Delaware by his lamented faith

who bestowed much labor upon the paper

Threatening Letters Received by Two
Witnesses Against Frank James.
GALLATIN, Mo-, August 23.-This COM
munity was thrown into excitement last
night by the statement that two promi-
nent citizens, named Harfieh Davis and
Alexander Irving, who are witnesses in
the james trial, had received threatening
notes through the post office. Both men
were active in their efforts to capture the
murderers of Captain Shulls in 1869, and
took part in the pursuit and running fight
with the James party, at the residence of
Mrs. Samuels. A strong feeling ofindigna-
ton was aroused among the citizens when
the announcement was made that the
notes had been received, many citizens
regarding the action as a cowardIy at
tempt at intimidating the witnesses.
James friends say that the notes were
written by his enemies to excite public
opinion.
