the dust of Atlanta from their feet.
Away they went, and Atlanta was a
vast military camp. occupied by Sher>
mans conquering army.
Then season of despoliation follows
ed. Some of the finest houses in the
city ware torn down and the lumber
used IN making shanties for the soldiers.
Judge Erskine's handsome place was one
to suffer 10 this way, There was no.
table case of soldier who sported a
crystal palace-a house made entirely of
window sashes. t'
Thus did Sherman's troops occupy At
lsnta on that fatal November night.
Sherman had prepared TO leave. From
the first entrance Of the blue-coats, thers
had been general belief that the city
would be burned. Such fate was talk
ed of on all sides. '51
At last the fatal time arrived and the
torch was applied. A wild fire ittwas as
the busy little city of 1900 people was
turned over to the deyeuriDg element.
All the business part of the city was a
mass of flame that rapidly spread In
every direction, and when morning
dawned the smoking iuins and tottering
walls, and sentinel like chimneys marked
the charred spot, and as the last Federal.
disappeared over the GROW of Gartrelps
hill stiffness and desolation reigned about
the spot where Atlanta had stood. Piles
of brick from which purple smoke lazi!y
curled up told Of the ravished city, and
over it ali the silence of death brooded.
Think of standing where the Kimball
now stands with its seven stories tower
lug up, and looking in every direction
without seeing a living soul, and a few
weeks later when Mr. j. c. Hendrix rode
down Whitehall, he sOliloquized:
$50 desolatel | would be thankful to
see even bird"
But Atlanta to-dav has nearly 10000
souls and the Lustle and crush of busi
ness on her streets is in striking contrast
to what she was when twenty years ago
her people began to gather and shuck
their coats for the labor of rehabilitation.

Falling Leaves.


What will become OF the trees, Mamma?
The leaves are falling. one by one.
Colder it blows;
Soon come the SHOWS.
What will become of the trees, Mamma,
The bare, brown trees, when all is
done!
Will not the trees be cold, Mamma,
When all the leaves are blown away?
When nights are long,
And winds are strong.
Will not the trees be cold, Mamma.
On many cold and wintry day?
What will become of the leaves, Mamma?
Away before the wind they fled;
After their play,
Hurried away,
What will become OF the leaves. Mamma?

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The stock market
opened weak on the eastern trunk line
stocks, and rather weak on the Changers.
The Chicago & Atlantic defaulted On the
interest on its bonds to-day, and this had
tendency to weaken Erie. The railway war
still goes on between the New York Central
and West Shore, and the outlook is more
omnibus than ever Savin says that when
the rate cutting ceases stocks will make
rapid advance. Business is very light, owing
TO the superior attractions Of politics. II is
not expected that the market will develop
any feature until after the election. There is
a good deal of political betting in the brok-
ers' offices and IN the Hobbies Of the exchange
& lay, and the odds on New York state are
800 TO $50 and $40 in favor Of Cleveland.
All the betting this afternoon is SIS to Sc
and So that Cleveland carries New York
state by 30, 600 majority. The bull pool in
Northwestern has recently been strength
ened by the accession Of some foreign cap
italists. Gould is still bullish on Union Pa
cifc He says that within six months this
road will be in position to commence pay
ing dividends again. Commaek is retieent,
but is credited with being bull on the gen
eral situation. Trading has been reduced to
skeleton proportions. 1t was expected that
Gould would engineer boom this morning
in order to aid Blaine, but nothing Of the
kind has been done. The feature Of the day
has been the decline Of two points in Erie
seconds, caused by the default of thejChicago
81 Atlantic in the payment Of interest on its
first mortgage bonds. 1t is claimed that this
interest will be paid before the six months
grace expires but the fact that il has not
been paid promptly is being used very ef-
fectivelY as a bear argument. There was a
stubborn undertone of strength, however, 10
the whole market, and were it not for the
sanguinary war Of passenger rates in pro-
gress between the great trunk lines, there
would be an undoubted improvement in val
ues soon. As it is the future looks some
what dubious. New York Central put the
knife in deeper this morning, and cut the
rate from New York to st. Louis 10 SIG from
$40, to Indianapolis $3.50 from Sl7, to Gin
cinnati $3.50 from SIS, and
to Detroit $1,000 from s11.5O.
Scalpers, however, were selling tickets TO
these places S. less than the above. A gen
eral railroad war seems inevitable, but, in
the face of everything of a discouraging ma
ture, bull talk prevails among the trader.
1t was said the Pennsylvania road would
meet the cut of the Baltimore & Ohio limited
express to-day. The shipment Of gold to
this country continues, notwithstanding the
advance in the Bank OF England loaning
49,
shipped from London tomorrow. The mar
ket closed tame.
Body & Mcclellan say the market is ripe
for a per cent. break all round, and it is
required to instill life in it. Weak spots
crop out from day to day, and the end is
not yet.

A General Challenge to Fight.

The little festive occasion that happened
down the river last Sunday does not seem to
have closed up the business. On the con-

chances for meetings, as win be seen by the
following general challenge from Paddy
Norton
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 8, 1SS4.-Paddy
Norton wishes TO fight any man l40 or 145
pounds in the state Of Minnesota; and
whereas, Professor John S. Barnes, OF St.

Minneapolis or in the state TO fight him at
140 pounds, according TO the agreement in
the ring on last Sunday, the said Norton
challenged the professor himself at l45 or
$50 pounds, and as he refused TO meet him
on account of business, he will fight any
man in this state at 140 or AS pounds, from
5000 to $500 aside. London or

had meeting in Window hall last night,
and the auditorium was literally packed with
representatives Of the farm, and same of the
city. Messp. Shadrick, Leftwich and others

made was the monopoly and convict labor
system of the Republican party. Mr.. Left
wish, being an attorney, also took occasion
to srraign the partisan candidacy Of A. H..
Young, charging him with shamefully
dragging the judiciary into the political
mire. All the speakers advocated the

true laboring mans friend, aud
the man who always pays the highest wages
and insists that the wages shall not be cut

The British Debt.

According to blue book just published
and entitled statistical Abstract for the
United Kingdom in Each Of the Last Fifteen
Years, from 1869 70 1885," it appears that
the natioual debt, which was S3.975, O00, 900
in 1870, is now ouly 80, go, OOO, 600 having
been reduced since 1850 at the rate of about
$50, OOO, 900 per annum. From the same
source we lerrn that the total value Of prop
erty and profits assessed to the income tax
has increased in the United Kingdom from
81, $50, OOO, 900 to 50, 900, 900, 600, the main
portion of the increase having taken place in
England. the increase in Scotland being
SIS, 900, 900 and in Ireland $50, 0O0Oe0. The
criminal statistics are also very satisfactory.
The number Of criminal offenders commit
ted for trial and convicted had between the
yes 8, 1865 and 1883 decreased in England
from 4, 900 to IL 200; in Ireland from D.
500 TO 1900, and in Scotland, from 2, 400 to
