block of four and four and half
per cent Government bonds, the market
value of which amounted to probably $50 600
After their failures he learned the securities had

THE GENERAL SITUATION.
Interview with Cyrus w. Field-Affairs of
Fisk e. Hatch.


New YORK, May 16..Cyrus w. Field says,
that no further decline ought to happen in any
real good stock, and the country has every
reason to expect a prosperous year. The crop
prospects are excellent, there is no more de-
preston in trade than would naturally be ex-
pected from a heavy decline in stocks and I see
no reason why there should not be great bust
ness revival during the coming season"
"What, in your opinion, has brought the crash
in Wall streetl7
Reckless speculation, and speculation by men
who have no right to speculate-oficers of banks,
presidents of railways, and other important
companies. The pratices which have brought dis
aster to three of our national banks ought to be
strictly prohibited and institutions which make
business of loaning money ought not to be in
the market as borrowers. 1t is not safe topermit
officers of banks, trust companies and other in
stitutions which have large sums of money to
loan to speculate and be borrowers of money for
themselves or for their friends for large outside
operators. The whole community may be
made to suffer by the results of such practices"
Fisk & Hatch to-day turned over 81, 500, 900
securities left with them for safe keeping and
are prepared to return I'll securities deposited
with them as collateral for loans as soon as the
latter are paid off There seems to be a general
impression In Wall street circles that all danger
of continuance of the disturbances of the past
few days is over
Jay Gould was serene, and apparently happy.
He smiled vaguely when told that rumors of his
embarrassment were afioat. ''There is no truth
in it." he said ''In every crisis like this, the
general run of humanity lose their heads and
concoct stories of this kind. There is no cause
for alarm"
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher discoursed on Wall
street this evening He regarded it as a set
ting up of the spectators. In re-
gard to Grant he thought he had
made great mistake in going on Wall street.
but he was not to blame because rogues had i'm
posed upon him, and this was the feeling he
said, of every man in the country He also re-
ferred briefly to George l. Seney,s troubles.

discovered in West Virginia, at least the papers
state. Heretofore, the only coal of that quality
has been found in Eastern Pennsylvania, it be-

Testimonials Forbidden.

1t is said that the Pennsylvania r. R. Company
has forbidden employees to present testimonials
to their superiors in the service. very proper
prohibition. The presentation business has be-
come a nuisance that should be abated. In nine
out of ten where money is solicited for such
purposes it is drawn from unwilling contributors
and in many instances from persons who give
from fear a sense of pride money that they
cannot well spare. In churches and schools the
good old custom of giving premiums and pre-
sents to the children as incentives to improve
ment, has been largely superseded by the drum
ming up of contributions from the children to buy
presents for teachers and other adults. Some fel
low, ambitious to get into the good graces of the
"boss" or the superintendent who gives him en-
ployment, gets up 'testimonial' subscription,
few fellow workmen have the courage to refuse
and the Spontaneous" tribute is presented with
a flourish to the Surprised" recipient. 1t is TO
be hoped the example set by the Pennsylvania
Company will be emulated, and the growing abuse
be checked.

MethOdist) law was enacted by the Assembly of
the province of Maryland that any one found
drunk could be arrested, and, on conviction of the
fact, fined 100 pounds of tobacco. That was, we
take it, the first temperance legislation on this
continent Does the statute prove that so early as

Sheep Husbendry.

In its report of the proceedings of the Salebury
Farmers Club the Bucks county, Pa, Lnteliigeneer
says: "The question what is the profit in sheep
husbandry compared with other kinds of live
stock p was answered by VIM. Blackfan. He
keeps 25 ewes as matter of convenience as well
as for profit. There is good deal of ground,
some acres, about his buildings and lanes that
cannot be comfortably utilized by other stock, and
it is to keep grass down and things neat about the
premises that the sheep are kept. He claims that
he has a profit of $3.50 per annum from his %
ewes or Sc per head, and thinks that is more profit
than could be got from the same investment in
COWS. Judge Holcomb, of Lambertville, was able
to corroborate this report with experience from his
side of the river. He named number of farmers
who said their annual net profits from sheep were
Sc per head. They rear early lambs for the New
York market, shear the ewes after the early lambs
sold and then fatten and sell the ewes. Some
keep the ewes and still claim to clear an
average of S. to Sc per head on them per annum
1t is estimated that the keeping of one COW is
equivalent in cost to keeping 10 sheep. and at this
rate there is more profit in the sheep than in dairy
husbandry. With good care and management
sheep are supposed to be the most profitable stock
our neighbors over the river can keep. They
recognize it, and it would be very hard to convince
them to the contrary. The question suggests it.
self to our farmers whether they cannot pro6tably
turn their attention somewhatto sheep hus bandry."

Salt With Nuts,

As this is a season when children and adults
also eat freely of nuts, it may not be out of place
to give to our readers, what an exchange says
upon the subject: "0ne time, while enjoying a
visit from an Englishman, hickory nuts were
served in the evening when my English friend
called for salt, stating that he knew case of a
woman who was taken violently i'll by eating
heartily of nuts in the evening. The celebrated
DR.. Abernethy was sent for, but it was after he
had become too fond of his cups, and he was not
in q condition to go. He muttered, "salt, SALT
of which no notice was taken. Next morning he
went to the place, and she a corpse. He said
that had they given her salt it would have reliev-
examination he would convince them. On open
ing the stomach. the nuts were found in mass
He sprinkled salt on this and it Immediately dis
solved. I have known of sudden death myself
which appears to have been the effect of the same
cause. generally eat salt with nuts and consider
it improves them"

Ten-Hoop Flour Barrels.

The Milwaukee miers are getting down to
some nice points in the economies of their bust
ness, as is so generally the practice nowadays
in all industries. They have resolved hereafter
to use only ten-hoop instead of twelve-hoop bar
rels. Some of the millers have been using only
ten hoops for months, but on December 4th the
Milers' Association passed resolution that all
would hereafter use only hoop barrels-after
the present supply of barrels was used upon all
their patents and other -four. 1t is said that in
this way they will effect saving of three cents
barrel, or enough to pay the carriage ON the wheat
and the subsequent carriage on the -four.

a Judge Fines Himself.

An example of the impartiality of the admins
istration of justice manifested yesterday in the
Criminal Court. When the hour for the noon ad-
journment came Judge White ordered that recess
until 1.30 o'clock be taken, and all were adnon-

1:3O o'clock the MarshalPs deputies were in the

murder case, which action was on trial. The
Judge of the court was not present and did not
come in until the hour of was indicated by the

cause of hardness. The trial of the then pro-

Sound Common Sense.

Ifyou are well, let yourself alone. One of the
great errors of the age is, that we medicate the
body too much, the mind too little. More persons
are destroyed by eating too much than by drink
ness in civilized society. The best Gymnasium
is a woodward, clearing, or a corn field. A
hearty laugh is known, the world over, to be a
health promoter; it elevates the spirits, enivens
the circulation, and is marveIously contagious in
good sense. Bodily activity and bodily health
are inseparable If the bowels are loose, lie down
in bed, remain there, and eat nothing until you
well. The three best medicines in the world
are warmth, abstinence and repose.
