 Drive to Sell Both stocks-One Failure Announced = Prices Close at a De- cline.
 NEW YORK. Dec. 10. The feature of the morning dealings was the heavy pressure to sell Lake Shore and Lackawanna. both of which declined uninterruptedly from the first call up to 12:30 The heavy decline in thsst was taken advantage of by the shorts to circulate all sorts Of runors It reported that the selling of the stocks mentioned was chiefly by houses whose financial rates compelled them to unload, and failures were predicted by some croakers. About Il o'clock the news was receive of the failure of Wilkinson 6 Bros, of Syracuse, with liabilities ranging from S4oo.00o to $50oooO This news had q demoralizing effect the market, and for while the selling was brisk. The dealings were attended with considerable excitement but by 12:3o this had died out and the market was steadier better sup port. About p. m however, the pressure to sell some of the leaders was renewed and continued with but little interruption to the close. LAckawanna continued the feature, some large blocks for both long and short account coming on the market. The bears had full sway and frustrated every attempt on the part Of the bulls to check the decline by vgor ously attacking the more prominent stocks At the close tine lowest figures of the day made, the market closing weak and demoralized. The decline as compared with yesterdays prices ranged from M to 3N per cent, the latter in Lackawanna. No l further failures or troubles reported during the afternoon. The selling of Lackawanna to-day said to be for the account of insiders and the trouble in the coal pool but some of the reports l could not be traced.

The Labors Of the Trappist.


 The farm buildings of Le Port du Salut are many and various, including sheds for cattle, corn mill, and looms for the manu- facture of the woolen and cotton clothing the monks wear. There is much land outside as well as inside the walls of the precinct which the monks cultivate, and they may be often seen in their fnH robes, despite the heat of the summer, working steadfastly in the fields, and the Abbot harder than any of them. During the twenty-four hours of an ordinary working day the Trappist is thus employed. He rises generally at a. m., but on feast days at midnight or at l o'clock in the morning, according to the importance of the festival. He immediately goes to church, which is shrouded in darkness, except the light that giimmers from the small lamps perpetualiy burning before the altar as in all Roman Catholic churches. The first service continues until 3 o'clock; at that hour and with the last words of the hymn all the monks prostrate themselves on the stones and remain in silent meditation during thirty minutes The nave is then lighted and the chants are resumed until a. m, when mass es commence The number of shours given te hturg1c otaces is, on an average, seven per day.

Party and R eIIgIon.

ltrcm the BrltlSn Quarterly Review
 Party has many strong afinities with reli-
 zion. Its deyotees, like those of 8 religious
 creed, are apt to substitute the fiction that they have adopted it upon mature delibera- ton for the fact that they were born into it or stumbled into it. But they are in the
 highest degree reluctant to come to open
 breach with it; they count it shame to speak
 of its weak points, except to co-relgionists; and whenever it is in serious difficulty they return to it's assistance or rescue. Their re- lation to those outside the pale-the relation of Whig to Tory, of Conservative to Liberal lis on the whole exceedingly like that of Jew to Samaritan. But the closest resem- blances are between party discipline and mil itary discipline; and indeed, historically speaking, party is probably nothing more than a survival and a consequence of the primitive combativeness of mankind. It is war without the city transmitted into wal within the city, but mitigated in the process. Party strife like strife in arms, develops many high, but imperfect and one-sided vir- ! tues: it is fruitful of self-denial and self sacrifice. But, wherever it prevails, great part of ordinary morality is unquestionably ] suspended; a number of maxims are received | which are not those of religion or ethics; and men do acts which, except as between enc mics, and except as between political oppo- I nents, would be very generally classed az I either sins or i1nmoralities.

Absurdities in High Art Decoration. ECIara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.1
 We have come to the point of absurdity in the high-ert decoration of our houses. Un- handsome things can't be made handsome by the mere infusion of some sentiment, partic- u1arly if that sentiment be mawkish or ridie- ulous. 1 am willing to coneede that all the verses and romance based on the glove of a ! fair woman are well enough in their way. An article which has received it's shape from the hand of fellows sweetheart is precious to him, no doubt. though in the eyes of l another member of her sex it would have no value comparable with gauntlet that had never been stretched. But draw the line at gloves. Stockings step too far. found friend at work making hoor-mat on the old rag-earpet plan. She was cutting the materials into strips, braiding it and then sewing it into form. The stuff thus being utilized was discarded hosiery. The fabric was silk, the colors bright and varied and the effects as good as patchwork per mits.

She b1ushed 0 tride, as girls are usually able to do when speaking of something particularly delicate and sentimental III connectlon WlIh tnen lovers, and ct the same time she brought to | an end the strip which began at the top of a stocking and yard or so to utilitarian- alarmed spot at the toe.
